I've got a favor to ask. After the conflict in Omicron Theta cooled off I've come to the conclusion that it's been too long since I've had a serious revision. I've been running heavy augmentations, but even that isn't enough to help in some situations. I need more.
Black market soft' can only take me so far. I need something much better for the long run. Do you have anyone in mind that can provide such?

Regarding the first matter - You will find your reward credited to your account. Good work, as always.
As for the second issue - In your case, I would certainly not entrust my care to MFE. Apart from their fondness for the Nomads in their upper management, I am unwilling to trust a doctor who does not sufficiently value their work and does not charge an appropriate fee for their services. Another option would be to turn to Core, but I assume you would spend the next two years extracting corporate spyware from your system.
This brings us to the last option - the doctors from Malta, who are accustomed to providing personalized care to my people due to the variability in our physiology, metaphorically speaking, based on the purity of our blood. Personally, I would not entrust my care to anyone else - apart from the experience they accumulate over their long lives with ageless minds, they also have very sharp vision and lack any tremor in their hands.
The question is, however, whether you trust me or not.
I am sure your...doctors would do a great job on a mostly human subject. I'm not that ideal subject. What I really meant was someone with a particular skillset in cybernetics, and even better - a knack for hacking subroutines and optimizing an otherwise outdated OS. Chances are this could help me reduce the neural load my brain has to endure. If your Outcast Doctors can do that, sure. If not? I sure hope you still have someone else in mind.

Our physicians are highly adept at optimizing cybernetic implants, both in terms of hardware and firmware. Indeed, there are more physiological variations among the population of Malta than in the rest of the human population in Sirius, particularly in the differences in our nervous systems. My neurons function somewhat differently compared to individuals who are naturalized, and of course, differently from human neurons for which the vast majority of implants in Sirius is designed.
This fundamental genetic variability has demanded considerable ingenuity from our cybernetic-focused physicians, as every Outcast is unique in their way, making it impossible to mass-produce and configure anything that connects to our bodies. We typically do not manufacture our implants - we modify and enhance technologies from Kusari, Core, Cryer, and the Technocrats. After all, our close cooperation with the Lane Hackers has left us with the best cracking and development kits for this purpose, along with the finest computers money can buy.

I am confident that our leading experts in cybernetic enhancements will be capable of addressing your problem, provided they are given sufficient time. And speaking of time - do you have any existing medical documentation that they could review in advance?
I would also like to know who your companion will be before I even consider welcoming them as my guest. Given our experiences in the past three years, we are far more cautious about who visits our world than we ever were, Caliban.

For a moment, I thought you might bring along someone from your less popular acquaintances to Malta. Your personal droid, provided it can behave as a well-mannered guest, is entirely acceptable.
Given your reputation, we can meet directly in Malta - in the city known as Genova. I shall be expecting you at the local starport.
