Good day.

We at Auxesia are interested in establishing a minor agreement, a test of viability of sorts, to secure a specified amount of resources obtained from the Omicron for the intents of storing and experimentation.

At one of our labatories, to which you know as Temple of Ataraxia as IRG has access to the station - due to the previous agreements with CEO McCool, we're required to ensure that materials are always available for research and studies, and it's been noted that we're lacking in a compound most commonly known as Azurite Gas.

To ensure a healthy stock, we desire to aim for 20,000 units to be delivered to the Temple, but will be shipped to a containing outpost for processing. Of course, during this operation, we will be able to protect your transports while they extract the resources.

Compensation can be worked out, from monetary gain, to lab access. I eagerly await your response.

Raven,
The endeavor you speak of is no easy task, and even at the pinnacle of our abilities, such collection is slow and dangerous. Being isolated in such a high-emission area is extremely high-risk. If it wasn't enough that the Core occupies the space heavily, the Nomads and Corsairs would likely want a piece of the action, leaving both of our departure routes highly restricted. Passing these areas without escort would be fatal, and doing so with escort is still highly dangerous. From my experience, transports are targeted first, and we lack transports with enough toughness to take such a risk of failure.

Perhaps if we procured the collection of the gas, your transports could make the trip. However, in either circumstance, we require a decent number of personnel to make this task a reality. So, in short, as interested as I am in taking on this endeavor, we will need to perfect our logistics before even attempting to do so.

Doctor,

I am fully aware of the situational issues, and to add to the concerns, we took the Order into account as we all know and love their paranoia. The Corsairs in Omicron Kappa may pose an issue, but as we've come to see, nebula within the Omicron Gamma system can provide ample cover for the convoy to withdraw to Omega-55, allowing it to be safer to transverse to Omega-11, then 47, as the western side of Omega-11 isn't occupied with too much lawful or Hessian activity. From there within the cloud, the sensors are hindered, allowing another moment of stealth from the environment to the Omega-9 Jumphole. Omega-9, as you should be aware, is a newly formed star, as such, the radars are also hindered within the system, allowing a moderately safe travel directly towards Cambridge, Bretonia, or optionally Omega-3 if the convoy is endangered. This suggested route is perhaps the safest journey to take out of all the options, as the environment will provide natural cover the majority of the flight.



Beyond active security, the other issues that remain is the legal process from Bretonia to haul the cargo through House Space to Inverness, and the aforementioned transport defenses. It is possible to obtain scouts to intercept any potential danger forces to allow the transports to fly the long way around to avoid them, or additionally, to ensure survivability of the transports, their hull should be reinforced.

A more expensive suggestion is to also employ stealth escorts to ensure the route is clear both ahead and behind, and around the mining area, as a larger presence will only draw attention from the natives of the Omicrons. Such escorts may be able to bypass the systems under the influence of The Order. An extremely more expensive means would be to employ jump technology, as exciting as it would be for experimenting this thought... Well...

Raven,
We'll begin preparations for the route you suggest, as it does have high probability for success. With some scouts and some escorts, we'd probably have an optimal success rate. I'd recommend at least four vessels to be a part of this operation, as our key points of risk are the time we linger gathering, and movement out from the edge worlds. Concerning the lawfuls, we'll ensure our permits are up to date, and that the necessary people within our Group are informed about our intended movement.

Regarding your... last suggestion, although this would virtually guarantee the resource procurement, we would essentially be paying out of pocket, rather than having a mutually beneficial business agreement. If we were talking about an essential resource, rather than research materials, I'd be all for it; however, this would require much more fuel and equipment than we have readily available. Use of these assets would be rather entertaining to explore, but not something that's necessary.

Let me know when your assets are in place, I look forward to seeing you on site.

Raven,
Our assets are in place, and are ready when you are. Concerning compensation, we'd like to propose a compromise of both monetary compensation and a research partnership. We'll procure the Azurite for movement, and you compensate us for the quantity our Group moves at 10,000cr per unit, and the rest that you acquire, we will work closely with you, in your spaces or ours, to best utilize the quantities we obtain.

This will ensure that additional procurement is both limited and unnecessary, as we'd like to reduce the risk of this substance ending up in the wrong hands. The sharing of information on this front is far more valuable than any other compensation, as discoveries around this compound are leaps and bounds ahead of other substances. That is, if that method is favorable for your organization.

Let me know if you'd like these terms amended, or if you find this agreement as optimal as we do, whether you would like to move forward on these bounds.

I firmly believe that cooperation and exchange of information will certainly greatly benefit both groups. After some talks, we've concluded that the proposed compensation will be satisfactory.

It was a stroke of luck that one of our patrol vessels managed to contain an independant Miner vessel, most likely working for the Order or the incoming AFC transport, before the materials were mishandled.

We propose an organised operation at a specific time which shall be forwarded to your secure link. We will round up escorts for the procedures. Although, whilst we are preparing to the best of our extent, it may be beneficial to consider a fail-safe, should something go wrong.

Raven,
As you may have already heard, we show the objective quantity of Azurite delivered, with 6500 units delivered by IRG personnel. We look forward to working with you more closely as time goes on, and I hope in due time my colleagues will come to trust you and your organization more.

I was forwarded evidence of your third delivery made by one of your vessels, worry not about that lost shipment. The content was verified and checked out to total units:



Your payment has been sent and the access codes to our sectors should hopefully be working. It was fortunate that the escorts proceeded to stop the Coalition vessel before they attempted to gain on the convoy, as I've been informed. Even more fortunate that our brave fighters proceeded to Dublin to distract the Cretins from the convoys, they're were never aware of the ships presence. Let us bask in the success of our efforts. Should you desire to enter Ataraxia, our vessels will be awaiting there to escort you in safely. I bid you well.
