You've been patched in to carry this forward, your recent acquisition should prove useful here as Sara has said, there may be corsairs. If you feel the need for additional security then The Core| can provide, I trust you to make that call and ensure that the integrity and purpose of the Core are maintained during this venture.
Best of luck, -William Rotschild

Ms. Yates, I am Damien Mekal, Overseer of AP Manufacturing Research and Development. Mr. Rotschild has patched me into this communications frequency to address your request.
I will begin by stating that APM, as well as the Core, are still quite weary about your request and what you intend to do with anything we sell to you. In order to allay those concerns, we have deemed it necessary to investigate the location you intend to be working at, as well as the specific type of work to be undertaken, in person. Once we have ascertained exactly what your objectives are and what is needed from us, we can work on making a deal.
AP Manufacturing has recently completed work on a prototype warship that should be more than capable of weathering any hostiles or dangers along the way, while being equipped with the necessary sensor and analysis equipment to provide us with a clear view of the structure and its value. I would like to arrange for this ship, the Leonine, to accompany you to the operation site and run tests on the structure. We will compile whatever data is acquired, and write up a business contract afterwards.
If this is agreeable, please respond with a departure time that works for you, and we will comply with it to the best of our ability.

Alright, Ms. Yates. I've received scans and samples from the Leonine. As was explained during your trip, the Core has been aware of this site, though we've never done an in depth survey due to the heavy corsair and outcast presence. Hostiles tend to not be good for science.
If you think you can successfully salvage these alien ruins out from under the noses of those two groups, we will back you with the equipment you need. However, you will have to agree to the following terms:
Equipment will be installed on your vessel at Alabama Shipyard in Omicron Rho. You have already been given temporary visa to enter the system and dock at the shipyard.
Installation will be handled by our own personnel to ensure it is done properly. This will come with an associated labor fee of 5,000,000 Credits, to be paid to Core|Imperium
Any significant technological or archaeological finds that are made during your expedition must be shared fully with AP Manufacturing.
APM Science and Archaeological personnel will have free access to ascertain your progress and evaluate your operations.
If these terms are agreeable, please let us know and we'll begin installation immediately.
