Bonjour and Greetings fellow enlightened of the Great Light.
We have not spoken before so I wish to take the first steps into what I hope will become another binding tie between our people.
I am Exarch Felanis. Rarely do I speak due to my periods of halting time with cryo sleep due to a failing body, as I speak to you now.
That being said, you may know we of the Oracles are not in grace with the current governing body of Les Malta, but from what has been told,
there are those of your parish who may be able to gain access to higher tiered equipment that I cannot acquire.
If there are those interested in learning more to what this entails, need not hold yourself but to speak.
Warm blessings upon you and yours. I am Bassam Hussaini, the Overseer of the Silver Sun Society, and currently the only fully active member of the Commune's triumvirate. Some time has passed since we exchanged words with our most Illuminated Brethren. I for one am pleasantly surprised by this message. But moving past pleasantries, and addressing your immediate request, I am afraid that we might have to disappoint you. It is understandable, that in your extended cryo-sleep, you might have overlooked the complete political picture of today's Malta. And what a macabre painting it is.
We weren't spared from the fallout of rising anti-K'hara sentiment, either; Or from the gunfire of misguided, hostile heretics. The Maltese, despite their long natural life-spans, seem to have very mercurial views and short memories, regarding whom their true friends are. But despite these failings, we are not inclined to hostile action against them. So we withdrew to greener pastures. Indeed, some of our agents still hold sway - but not nearly as much as we once did.
The only truly safe haven that still remains is the lone moon of Carinea - Santa Verna, and the loyal souls that populate it. But I think, this - you already knew. A safe refuge and a silver lining of hope, one that I think we should join our illuminated wills towards exploiting. Something to seriously consider, for the future.
But let's get back to your request, for now. It would be quite rude from me to dismiss it as impossible before hearing all the details. What, exactly, did you need?
It seems that far much more has happened than I have been let onto these past few days. It is troubling indeed to hear that
the Maltese nation have shown hostile sentiment towards beings greater than us. Truly it is of poor minds that have pushed this and
given us a course in which to recollect ourselves away for safety such as myself and those I wish to implore you on.
My confidante, Jean du Frobeige of which if I am to return to cryo-sleep, he shall speak for me, informs me that while I was in
slumber, that repairs to our vessels have hit a major snag but have allowed a possibility of hybridization. This may or may
not be news to you if you have heard of the Gallian vessels La Triomphante and Grande Guillotine under my own hand, two
of the largest Royalist vessels available to their fleets, have been faced with a weaponry issue. Incompetence can lead to possibilities not seen.
I am in need of access to Maltanese capital ship weaponry, just a single main battery and secondary battery for testing. I would do so myself
but it seems the majority of my former contacts have passed to a higher plane of existence, so I am at a crossroads to attempt
to gain new ones to try and regain a sense of force behind those as ourselves. My Sous-lieutenant in charge of
reconstruction informs me that the possibility of adapting Gallic Technology to Sirian is there due to our vessels being
reconstructed at Valetta Shipyard. So you see in why I have contacted you.
I cannot offer much in funds, but I have access to that of small Royalist craft in which is still in full operational service.
Unless you seek of a different payment.
If there are however those you know of in which I may seek out, do not hesitate to speak.
Difficult. But perhaps not entirely impossible. Exercise patience -- we'll see what we can do; If not Maltese, perhaps something equivalent. We'll speak of possible compensation once the deed is done.
Until then, give our regards to your peers. Walk forever in the Light's embrace.
Patience is one thing that I have the ability to give with my cryo sleeps. You shall have it.
In a side matter, would you be able to tell me of any new interests within the upper Omicrons and Tau's
that may spark my curiousity? Information is never cheap they say.
