Captain Arya Davis reporting in. I received a communication on my personal channel from Tarancon earlier today, requesting a representative from the Legacy of Orillion to meet the junkers there regarding a derelict ship belonging to The Order. They're wanting to sell us the location, and say it's - and I quote - "a big find, worth a lotta credits". I dont know how they got my personal comm ID, might've been from some old transactions of a similar nature made years ago when I was serving with the black fleet."
"I'm requesting permission to check this out and see if it's worth our attention. Maybe there's something out there we could use."

Operative Davis,
Request granted.
While your out there, I expect you'll represent the cell to the best of your ability.
In the unlikely event something goes south, I'll have Captain Anders on stand-by. Good luck.

I have arrived at Tarancon. Apparently the individual junkers who found the wreckage, Eva and Kera Thorn - the daughters of Chris Thorn, a junker who used to work with the Order discreetly in thr past - have moved on to other business ventures. However, they have left some information for me with the local station administrators to continue the deal. Later today, we'llbe flying out to the derelict to ascertain the order's interest in it. I will submit an additional report at that time.

Davis reporting in.
We've found the derelict, and performed in depth scans. The results are... far more than I could have hoped for. This is the Bastet, the ship I served on under two Order High Command Admirals, the flagship of the Order Science Division. We had thought she was destroyed completely during the Battle of Toledo, she took a direct blast to the engineering section from a Nomad Battleship and the reactor core exploded; turns out it just threw her into the nebula.
I know we're working on restoring Lisbon station at the moment, but this derelict is every bit as important. It could even help us with that project; the Bastet had all of Lisbon's R&D files, everything the Order Science Division was responsible for, every project they had been involved in. We have to salvage this ship.
Unfortunately, she's in bad shape. I've uploaded our scan results, but the bottom line is this: she probably wont survive a trip through the jump hole to Carthage, not without a number of repairs made before hand. If we had a ship with a jump drive, its integrity field could be extended over the Bastet enough to keep it from falling apart during transit. Barring that, we would have to make some on-site repairs, and I dont even know where to begin on that front. The only friendly station nearby is Tarancon, and we'd surely be spotted by the Core or LSF if we tried to tow the ship there.
I'm open to suggestions, but we need to decide quickly how to proceed. I'll stay here with the congress contact as long as possible and see what can be done from our end.

Captain Davis,
I'll have Captain Anders redirect a repair vessel towards your location asap. Progress on Lisbon is going well according to schedule, so I'm certain the Captain can spare one vessel to see the Bastet's intact arrival in Epsilon.
