It had been a long time since we discussed and I apologize for this delay. As you know , our Republic is growing and I was present at some other sites and they are one of the reasons why we contact you.
As you know, the Republic Forces managed to retake the Tau 44 from Gallic hands but that was at a high cost, several Crayterian colonies on the planet were damaged due to neglect and Minato Harbor suffered intensively at the hand of the space battle and station infighting. We also lost Sarawak Station it seems in the initial defense, as the last remaining Crayterian forces tried to make a stand against the Gallic invaders. Another devastating blow.
The damage control teams on the site were lead by me and I could see with my own eyes and I am afraid that I cannot count on my ISE units to fulfill this task as they are busy maintaining the Republic supplied with goods so that the citizens and the Fleet is not suffering. And here I come to you.
As you can see, we are ready to put in use the Engineers and Constructors from Hephaestus and Felix Manufacturing at work butcertain goods are missing and here are the list.
For the Project Gemini, which includes the Borneo planet, we have a fund of 230 million credits to pay the DSM for the delivery of the following materials
All materials needs to be sent to Minato Harbor in Tau 44. But word of caution, the Republic or allies of the Republic do not control the Tau 23 and thus I suggest you use the Imperial Space of Tau 29 and the only relatively dangerous area would be a few quadrants in Tau 23.
Mr.Ryo Kase, yes i agree it has been some time since you and i last spoke, therefore i am very pleased to hear from you again.
First of all i would like to say that its very good news that your people have retaken the Tau 44 system back to their rightful hands. Also please accept DSM's condolances for any lost lives you have suffered during the retake. But i guess their lives werent lost in vain and their names will be remembered as heroes of the Crayter Republic.
Now, to the task at hand. I have spoken to the DSM headquarters and we all agree on project Gemin's requirements list as viable and justified. Therefore we accept your terms and proposal. We are willing to start the operation as soon as we get a green light from Crayter Republic.
Considering Project Minato, we also find it acceptable and DSM is more than willing to preform this task. And we are ready to proceed as soon as we get the Republics confirmation.
Furthermore, I believe these 2 projects will seriously strenghten the relations between our people and after they are completed, I propose a banquet held at the place we will both agree upon in the near future.
Thank you for your time Mr. Kase and i hope to hear from you soon.i
Thank you for your condolences for the fallen soldiers in this war that was imposed on us , on all of Sirius, but I must say that not all the casualties were Crayterian, Council forces also suffered losses and why not, even the low level Gallic soldier who fights in this war because his Kings demands.
As for the projects, you have green light. The Patrols in Tau 44 had been informed and the goods are expected on Minato for both projects.
ISE Director will monitor the shipping and he is ready to open the ISE board to your units as well for reports of the movement of goods.
On a side note, I asked the Fleet to try to dispatch some ships to keep the Gauls and other elements occupied in Tau 23, so that your ships can get through.
The green lights are very good news Mr.Kase, the pilots will be on their way today " smiles ".
We will also keep track of every delivery and make reports to DSM as well as CR simultaneuslly. Expect this to be as fast as possible Mr.Kase.
Thank you for entrusting this to DSM once again and we shall talk again soon. Untill then, you better start preparing for the party afterwards " winks " .

Somewhere in a conference room on Elysium a meeting has been called. Six transport pilots in uniforms sit at a long rectangular table eyeing each other warily while the president and vice president sit in executive chairs at the head of the table chatting with each other in hushed tones...
Max Harper strolls into the conference room where his colleagues are all seated and anxiously waiting to hear the reason they were summoned. He walks briskly to the opposite end of the table from the two executives and clicks on a large projection screen buzzing with information.
Good day gentlemen,
I hope you are all well-rested. We have received a new large-scale transportation mission from President Gunsmith and the Crayter Republic. We have been specifically requested by the Republic to assist in the rebuilding and recolonization of Planet Borneo in Tau-44, as well as the repair and renovation of its high-altitude orbital station, Minato Harbor. In front of each of you you will find a copy of the mission dossiers for projects Gemini and Minato containing a list of commodities from across Sirius as well as some notes about where to procure these items, in what quantities, and possible challenges that each presents respective to the travel required and the current threat levels across Sirius. The notes are just that, notes. They are not all-inclusive information and are purely based on research that I could get ahold of. Still, I hope you find them useful. This project has been cleared to proceed immediately and without further delay. It will likely take many weeks to complete, but we have faith in all of you and your abilities to get it done.

Take note, gentlemen that with the exception of Mining Machinery only being required for Project Gemini, the lists are identical in commodity, but not in quantity. If you can kill two birds with one stone and bring back quantities to satisfy both lists at the same time, that would be extremely efficient. As always, in accordance with company policy you are expected to log your deliveries, to include photographic proof of the manifests whenever possible, in the standard DSM message network, and also in the DSM-Crayter Republic communication network that has been established at this encrypted neural net address in your dossiers. I believe Vice President MacRae is developing an efficient database with which you can also track and log deliveries. Check standard S.K.Y.P.3. communications protocols for specific instructions from Mr. MacRae. Remember, a failure to report your deliveries would be a tragic waste of manpower. The job is not done until the paperwork is done!
As this project will take us all over Sirius, be sure to check the galactic news networks and take into account the various situations unfolding across Sirius while plotting your routes. You'll likely be flying through the turf of some rather nasty characters, not your standard window-licking Xenos from back home in Liberty. It's highly advisable to avoid the Rhineland-Gas Miner Guild war zones in the Sigmas and Frankfurt area, as well as avoiding any conflict with Gallic forces, as they will not be sympathetic to our goal.
You have your assignments, and unless Mr. Gunsmith or Mr. MacRae have anything further to add, you are all dismissed. Stay frosty out there.
