Good day,
My name is Valentina Rodriguez, and I work as a contractor around the Sirius with some of associates.
While on one of my contracts, I visited the Freeport in Omega-3 system, where there was a group of pilots talking about you and about a company you run that I could not get the name.
From my understanding , your company funds contracts.
Now, since it peaked my interest, I’m curious to know more about you.

Mrs. Rodriguez,
Seems like my name goes before me already! I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I'm glad you showed up in my inbox.
I'll tell you a bit about myself and my organization, but I'll have to cut on some of the personal details for security reason.
I used to work as a scientist for one of the major houses in the sector I came from. That sector is not Sirius, I really wish I could tell you more about it but I need to know I can trust you first.
In the place where I came from, we were researching black holes. My ship came equipped with probation and hyperspace equipment. Somehow I ended up in Sirius, and I had to adapt, so I acquired a set of ships that'll help me continue independent research: a Bustard carrier, for all the equipment and hyperspace exploration, and a Corvo for continued probation of hyperspace anomalies.
In my exploration of the Sirius sector, I stumbled upon a curious material: Azurite Gas, that appeared to come from Nomad ruins. I made contact with a few Freelancers to establish a storage and research facility, I needed to know more about this stuff. Never seen that before.
While aggregating Azurite, I was contacted by some governments who showed interest in the stuff and offered to buy it off me for a hefty price. Soon, I partnered with the Freelancers I worked with and we established the New Horizon Industries - a union of Freelancers able to give out contracts and a financial back to every independent worker willing to join.
You can read more about us in the official Neural Net Entry.
So that's more or less it about me. In return, I'd like to hear more about where you come from. You sound like a Freelancer seeking new contracts, your kind is always welcome here at NHI.
May the sun rise wherever you go, Vecesco Trebitti CEO

Mr.Trebitti,
I must say that we have more in common than I imagined. It seems that our ideals are pretty much similar.
I’m the captain of a Bustard Class vessel called the CV-Argonauta. On board of this vessel we are a small community of mercenary groups. The Board, which is assembled by the heads of each small group, takes care of find contracts, and makes them available to all the mercenaries on board, for a small fee of course.
At the moment we have more influence in Rheinland rather than other regions, due to contracts offerings.
But I must say, lately I have found quite some interest in the Research and Department field, so even if I do not know what that Azurite Gas is, I’d quite be interested into some more data.
Now, my question arises, why would I choose you over somebody else?
Sender: Vecesco Trebitti | CEO of New Horizon Industries Recipient(s): Mrs. Valentina Rodriguez Origin: Omicron Minor Encryption:Zulu-Charlie-Bravo-Foxtrot-Dellaware
Mrs. Rodriguez,
To put a simple answer to your question, there's nothing like NHI in Sirius as of today. While I hold an immense amount of funds myself, our organization is also backed by multi-millionaires from the Owens family, as well as other organizations who hand us consecutive contracts.
As of today, we have access to an incredible amount of resources and intel, both on the lawful and unlawful sides of Sirius. Our contracts are various, and our members span from the remote Gallia up till the deep Omicrons. We have eyes and ears everywhere, hunting for contracts like no independent group ever could. And what better way is there to use these resources, than to support independent workers such as yourself and your crew?
If you'd like to join us collectively, I'll be happy to have you registered in our system. All you have to do is fulfill 3 of our contracts, and you're in.
As for the Azurite, our storage and research facility is located in Omicron Minor, sector G3, top right corner just below the sun. Feel free to visit us any time, I can arrange an escort if you need to move some of the gas around. Oh, and don't get startled by our automated mining drone system. They may seem scary, but I can assure you they're not sentient. That's some piece of tech I brought with me from home.
In any case, my Bustard carrier - the Infinite Sunrise - can go anywhere anytime. Just give me the coordinates and I'll be there if you'd like to meet me in person.
May the sun rise wherever you go, Vecesco Trebitti CEO

Mr.Trebitti,
Well, you gave quite the speech.
However, I’d like to understand how would we, by joining your endeavour, be affected from a work prospective. We have secured our own contracts and connections through the Sirius. I do not intend to stop my associates from working on their own contracts or establish connections.
I hope you understand my prospective.
Also, before accepting anything, I’d like to know what are those contracts you mentioned, something more concrete.
Lastly, I’d be more interested in some files on the Azurite, so I can send those directly to my team of researchers. This way, they can study those files in an attempt of understanding what is it.
Sender: Vecesco Trebitti | CEO of New Horizon Industries Recipient(s): Mrs. Valentina Rodriguez Origin: Omicron Minor Encryption:Zulu-Charlie-Bravo-Foxtrot-Dellaware
Mrs. Rodriguez,
Joining NHI would not prevent you from continued work with your contracts. It'll simply allow you to leverage extra teammates from outside of your community to get the job done. Nothing to lose, much to gain.
Currently, NHI fulfills contracts of delivery and security for multiple parties, such as Gallic Navy and the EFL conglomerate, Liberty intergalactic corporations, modular installation maintenance and refill contracts from Bristol, Samura, Zoners, sometimes even Junkers. We also have internal hauling and security contracts to keep our members busy and in the cash flow.
Regarding the Azurite files, we can have it in two ways:
Join NHI along with your team, share your contacts and contracts, and you'll get unlimited access to our research data as long as you share your own findings with the team.
Buy the data files for the price of 3 million credits per petabyte// commodity: Scientific Data // as a regular customer. Keep in mind that the research is still ongoing, which means we continue to produce data constantly. The price is negotiable, depending on your use.
The choice is in your hands now. I'd love to see you and your crew join our quarters.
May the sun rise wherever you go, Vecesco Trebitti CEO

Mr.Trebitti,
After thinking on your offer, I wanted to propose a counter-offer.
I’m willing to take on your security contracts, since we do not have the manpower to handle a bigger logistical contract. We can get hands on stuff, but in lower quantities so to speak.
Next point in my counter-offer is to slowly start collaborating from a scientific standpoint. I’m willing to start and invest into a small mobile laboratory , that can work with your own laboratories, on possible joint projects, aswell as we can share the data each of us has gathered.
I find it in our best interests to be a bit more, selective of the data shared.
I hope you understand my prospective and hope you’d also be open to a different approach.
Sender: Vecesco Trebitti | CEO of New Horizon Industries Recipient(s): Mrs. Valentina Rodriguez Origin: Omicron Minor Encryption:Zulu-Charlie-Bravo-Foxtrot-Dellaware
Mrs. Rodriguez,
I understand your hesitation, but it is very important to me that if we initiate a shared research, we do so in full disclosure. You see, if I were to give you our data and invest my part in a shared lab, I'd expect to get something better in return than "selective" knowledge from the fruit of our research. Not only is it a risk of unknown proportions, but we'll also be giving away a source of income that we could otherwise sell to a customer, and invest funds into the project. A lose-lose situation for NHI.
Moreover, how can I know your scientists have the appropriate experience and education to deal with such otherworldly chemistry? If I were to agree, there's nothing stopping you from selling our data for a bargain price. I need a proof that you won't stab me in the back, and the only way I can get it is with a full disclosure agreement.
Either that, or choose to be a customer. Then, you're free to do as you wish with the data we sell you. I can offer you to rent a lab complex aboard Gas Miner Konpeki, which serves as our storage and research facility. It'll be fully secure and I can assure you that your scientists will not be disturbed while doing research.
Regarding the security contracts, I'll let our traders know that they can call you whenever they plan a convoy. If you intend on joining NHI, I'll be able to connect you with our internal communication network which will grant you access to a larger amounts of contracts. To apply, all you need to do is fill this little form here and you're done. Nice and easy, all up to you.

Mr.Trebitti,
I also understand your point.
But cannot allow a full disclosure contract on our whole operations or projects. My associates are free people, that live and work aboard the Argonauta or tied to it. We have proven them that the liberty they want can be easily achieved if there is trust and organisation. I won’t put their tranquility on the line.
Only disclosure contract we can set up, is in the case of joint projects.
It’s only fair, for both sides to have access to each other’s data on the subject in order to speed up research times.
Obviously, I won’t be inconsistent and ask you the opposite. I’ll leave the freedom of disclosure of your projects free to your judgment.
Sender: Vecesco Trebitti | CEO of New Horizon Industries Recipient(s): Mrs. Valentina Rodriguez Origin: Omicron Minor Encryption:Zulu-Charlie-Bravo-Foxtrot-Dellaware
Mrs. Rodriguez,
I've considered what you offered. Sharing only findings regarding the particular joint research seems reasonable.
Now, before we set it up, I need to know more details about your plan for an implementation. Would you rather that we host the research aboard our station, or do you have something else in mind?
We can also deliver some of our scientists to the Argonauta and set up a mobile lab on board. However, moving the Azurite would be problematic as the gas is rather volatile and tends to attract unwanted attention.
Let me know how you'd like us to proceed.
May the sun rise wherever you go, Vecesco Trebitti CEO
