My name is Dracul. Until recently, I was an independent Freelancer exploring Sirius...that is ,until I found an adrift Luxury Liner with a deceased Order pilot inside. By salvage rights, I claimed the vessel and restored it to operational status with the help from my new employers. Any and all Order tech has been destroyed either by the damages to the ship or by me and the crew overhauling the ship (with exceptions to the engines). Additionally, the intel still on the ship has been preserved and has been attached to this message.
I've been given the task of several things from these new employers:
Delivering the body of the deceased so that he may be buried/given honors for his duty and sacrifice to you and your people.
Delivering the intel your agent was working on.
To open a dialogue between our organizations.
Lastly, to request assistance with upgrading, modifying, and enhancing the Regent line to reflect more what we want it to represent for our purposes: A true stealth vessel. It's design, equipment, and subsystems are near perfect for this type of overhaul and retrofit...which clearly your agent understood. This would, of course, be a joint endeavor between our peoples so that we could both reap the benefits.
Any further dialogue should be discussed in space at the earliest convenience and at a place of your choosing. Our encryption standard and network is near bulletproof, but some things should be discussed in person.
As to my employers and who I represent: We go by "The Directive".
[13.04.2023 22:56:37] A/)-Lazurith: They're hovering over it...
[13.04.2023 22:56:54] K'Hara|K'Halaesh: ***... (Angry/Sad) ...***
[13.04.2023 22:56:55] A/)-Lazurith: Are you okay, Asp? Karl?
[13.04.2023 22:57:29] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I-I've had enough... if it won't be quiet, I'll scare it off...
[13.04.2023 22:57:29] K'Hara|K'Halaesh: [The vision fading slowly because of the emotions being unstable.]
[13.04.2023 22:57:56] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: You wanted to play? Then stop toying with us an' play!
[13.04.2023 22:57:59] K'Hara|K'Halaesh: [And it eventually vanishes.]
[13.04.2023 22:58:19] SLRC-SEC>Karl.Schwarz: Aspen! Get away from it!
[13.04.2023 22:58:19] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Th-that's right! Run!
[13.04.2023 22:59:19] A/)-Lazurith: Tell me, what do you want from them?
[13.04.2023 22:59:37] A/)-Lazurith: Let us handle this, Karl. Return to Ikarus.
[13.04.2023 22:59:47] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: [Deep, but shaky breaths. The force of the visions was apparantly not pleasant for them.]
[13.04.2023 22:59:56] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: N-no, it's ok. We need him out here.
[13.04.2023 23:00:13] SLRC-SEC>Karl.Schwarz: Hey, it threatened my colleauge. I need to be out here.
[13.04.2023 23:00:37] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Vanished...
[13.04.2023 23:00:53] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: God... that was awful...
[13.04.2023 23:01:10] A/)-Lazurith: For how long has it been here? And why? <Cloaking device overheating>
[13.04.2023 23:02:28] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Wh- WOAH.
[13.04.2023 23:02:31] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Don't get so close!
[13.04.2023 23:02:43] A/)-Lazurith: ...They are hovering around the Baxters.
[13.04.2023 23:02:56] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I know! You see their motions?
[13.04.2023 23:03:01] A/)-Lazurith: It's like they're... lured to it.
[13.04.2023 23:03:21] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I'm afraid they're doing -something- to it.
[13.04.2023 23:03:31] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Why'd they even appear to begin with?
[13.04.2023 23:03:36] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Th- did they follow me?
[13.04.2023 23:03:42] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I didn't think they had our scent.
[13.04.2023 23:03:50] A/)-Lazurith: They could have tracked your scent here. I don't rightly know at this point.
[13.04.2023 23:04:16] A/)-Lazurith: They seem to be completely unresponsive...
[13.04.2023 23:04:21] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: An' they sent three big ones on my account...? Glad to warrant the attention...
[13.04.2023 23:04:32] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I am a "nuclear threat" I guess...
[13.04.2023 23:04:45] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Unresponsive, you say...
[13.04.2023 23:05:11] A/)-Lazurith: We might need her... expertise.
[13.04.2023 23:05:20] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Or a small fleet!
[13.04.2023 23:05:34] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: What if they stop bein' so passive and take a liking to Ikarus?
[13.04.2023 23:05:51] A/)-Lazurith: They are here because of the Baxter anomalies, clearly.
[13.04.2023 23:06:02] A/)-Lazurith: Ikarus is only just nearby.
[13.04.2023 23:06:17] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: If you say so...
[13.04.2023 23:06:37] A/)-SV-Artemis: Good evening, "Variant" here
[13.04.2023 23:06:46] A/)-SV-Artemis: Has the threat still remained? <Cloaking device overheating>
[13.04.2023 23:08:08] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Painful.
[13.04.2023 23:08:17] A/)-Lazurith: Pretty good. Almost split their head open like a melon.
[13.04.2023 23:08:34] A/)-Lazurith: Had that happened, a lot of air would've rushed through their cabin.
[13.04.2023 23:08:40] A/)-SV-Artemis: It looks like... the Nomad was attacking you?
[13.04.2023 23:08:48] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: The touch was always so gentle before, but-... pffth.
[13.04.2023 23:09:05] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Wow. Don't make me smile, we're on the precipice here.
[13.04.2023 23:09:09] A/)-Lazurith: No, more like toying.
[13.04.2023 23:09:15] A/)-Lazurith: I can't tell you why.
[13.04.2023 23:09:28] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: What's flashing past us, bud?
[13.04.2023 23:09:40] A/)-Lazurith: The Nomad you've just talked to.
[13.04.2023 23:09:49] A/)-Lazurith: Watch your fire.
[13.04.2023 23:10:22] A/)-Lazurith: Man... a Corvo.
[13.04.2023 23:10:24] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Nnrgh, can't it take a hint...
[13.04.2023 23:10:57] A/)-Lazurith: I've always wanted to be the head of one of those. "Betty, get me the coffee. Lucas, run the topography scanners."
[13.04.2023 23:11:08] A/)-SV-Artemis: Still, I don't think we have brainstormed a solution here except for force... but even that seems unlikely
[13.04.2023 23:11:49] A/)-Lazurith: What is it that they're... doing?
[13.04.2023 23:12:04] A/)-Lazurith: I am baffled...
[13.04.2023 23:12:27] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: We'd talked to Granny the other night...
[13.04.2023 23:12:37] A/)-Lazurith: Nnghhh. If she'd been here, she would've said something like... [Stark and posh Bretonian accent.] "Hrmm. Fascinating."
[13.04.2023 23:12:38] A/)-SV-Artemis: They seem to be circling the Baxter anomaly
[13.04.2023 23:12:49] A/)-Lazurith: "Verily so. Yes. Curious."
[13.04.2023 23:13:01] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: She was- PFTH- [A coughing wheeze].
[13.04.2023 23:13:11] A/)-Lazurith: Heheh. Ahh, never change, grandma.
[13.04.2023 23:13:20] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Y-you've really nailed the impression by now.
[13.04.2023 23:13:26] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Gettin' better all the time!
[13.04.2023 23:13:42] A/)-Lazurith: You get to learn how to do that after having to endure her antics for years. <Cloaking device overheating>
[13.04.2023 23:14:56] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: You folks tangled with 'em I heard.
[13.04.2023 23:16:25] A/)-Lazurith: {{<fnct:'alert'>::[[ent.unidentified];within[range]=TRUE]];;{{caution level=[2]}}
[13.04.2023 23:16:41] A/)-Lazurith: Hrmm...? Oh... the XB alert.
[13.04.2023 23:16:50] A/)-Lazurith: Oh, it's a fourth one.
[13.04.2023 23:16:52] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: It's... I can feel it. What-... it's watching me?
[13.04.2023 23:17:02] A/)-SV-Artemis: That one is smaller than the three circling the anomaly
[13.04.2023 23:17:03] A/)-Lazurith: You mean the one from before?
[13.04.2023 23:17:11] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: ... yeah. It's watching -me-.
[13.04.2023 23:17:12] A/)-Lazurith: Damn it. What does it want?
[13.04.2023 23:17:15] A/)-Lazurith: Why you?
[13.04.2023 23:17:23] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Maybe it's upset I swore off the peppermint joke.
[13.04.2023 23:17:31] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Missed it's chance.
[13.04.2023 23:18:29] A/)-Lazurith: So you'd rather share the peppermint with genociding creatures of light instead of offering them to me.
[13.04.2023 23:18:34] A/)-Lazurith: I see how it is.
[13.04.2023 23:18:42] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: A-and I'm getting a ping... somethin's close too.
[13.04.2023 23:18:55] A/)-Lazurith: Those were some ECM readings, alright.
[13.04.2023 23:18:57] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: S-sorry, I'm all out!
[13.04.2023 23:19:17] A/)-Lazurith: Was that a fifth one lurking about?
[13.04.2023 23:19:25] A/)-SV-Artemis: I honestly don't know
[13.04.2023 23:19:53] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Could be... great.
[13.04.2023 23:20:19] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: First, Convergence closes down, and then every Nomad in the sector wants a piece, and we've got these too. <Cloaking device overheating>
[13.04.2023 23:22:16] A/)-Lazurith: {{<fnct:'alert'>::[{ECMreading}=range=[TRUE]}}
[13.04.2023 23:22:19] A/)-Lazurith: Shhh. I know.
[13.04.2023 23:22:22] A/)-SV-Artemis: Someone's giving the beeps...
[13.04.2023 23:22:31] A/)-Lazurith: Something, or someone.
[13.04.2023 23:22:45] A/)-Lazurith: I really need one of those military-grade disruptors and show them what's what.
[13.04.2023 23:22:54] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I thought I heard something through the resynthesizer. Sounded like... a thruster?
[13.04.2023 23:23:17] A/)-Lazurith: You can show yourself now. We know you're--
[13.04.2023 23:23:19] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Man. It was -close- then!
[13.04.2023 23:23:26] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: EEP!
[13.04.2023 23:23:27] A/)-Lazurith: Eyes open, Asp.
[13.04.2023 23:24:01] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I... I guess this is a good opportunity to study it's behavior!
[13.04.2023 23:24:18] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Honestly, I'd have thought one from the Omicrons would have tried to fry us by now...
[13.04.2023 23:24:49] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Uhh... why do you want to play so badly?
[13.04.2023 23:24:56] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Is it curiousity?
[13.04.2023 23:25:07] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Think we're small children?
[13.04.2023 23:26:07] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Huh... it mirrored me for a sec...
[13.04.2023 23:26:28] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: All this attention is makin' me nervous...
[13.04.2023 23:26:35] A/)-SV-Artemis: We could think of ways to solve this problem <Cloaking device overheating>
[13.04.2023 23:50:14] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Yeah, what if there's more activity we're not seeing?
[13.04.2023 23:50:15] A/)-Lazurith: If they're here, the epicenter of their invasions should be at the Prophet.
[13.04.2023 23:50:24] A/)-Revenant: Their attention can be spread around.
[13.04.2023 23:50:28] A/)-Lazurith: Exactly.
[13.04.2023 23:50:53] A/)-SV-Artemis: Perhaps we shouldn't leave the one in Tau-23 unattended, right?
[13.04.2023 23:50:59] A/)-Lazurith: How come we can afford multi-million credit augmentations and not a camera feed in Kepler?
[13.04.2023 23:51:01] A/)-Revenant: Clean up required.
[13.04.2023 23:51:33] A/)-Revenant: I'm going to need to land to reroute power to comms.
[13.04.2023 23:51:39] A/)-Lazurith: Well.
[13.04.2023 23:51:44] A/)-Revenant: No doubt our familiar friend is going to enjoy this.
[13.04.2023 23:51:51] A/)-Lazurith: Oh. Oh no.
[13.04.2023 23:51:54] A/)-Lazurith: We are NOT bringing her into this.
[13.04.2023 23:51:58] A/)-Revenant: She already knows.
[13.04.2023 23:52:30] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Familiar friend that isn't me?
[13.04.2023 23:52:37] A/)-Lazurith: No... it's...
[13.04.2023 23:52:43] A/)-Lazurith: [Sighs.]
[13.04.2023 23:52:59] A/)-Lazurith: Remember that time we performed a blind-jump into Pinksville?
[13.04.2023 23:53:16] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Yeah. Actually found the path back there.
[13.04.2023 23:53:19] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: W-wait.
[13.04.2023 23:53:31] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: You mean that no-nonsense lady?
[13.04.2023 23:53:35] A/)-Lazurith: Yes. Her.
[13.04.2023 23:53:45] A/)-Lazurith: She's... kind of scary.
[13.04.2023 23:57:11] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: She gave you a real bad chewing out a couple times, huh?
[13.04.2023 23:57:25] A/)-Lazurith: I always test the limits of her patience.
[13.04.2023 23:58:01] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Military sorts generally don't have a lot of it.
[13.04.2023 23:58:08] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Don't worry bud. She comes at ya, I'll clean her clock.
[13.04.2023 23:58:11] A/)-Lazurith: I'm grateful we have ethics, otherwise she would've whipped me into a red pulp.
[13.04.2023 23:59:38] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Jeeze. Remind me to not bug her much.
[13.04.2023 23:59:55] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: Unless she goes for you. Then the gloves are comin' off!
[14.04.2023 00:00:23] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: She-... she could probably snap me in two, but it's the effort that counts.
[14.04.2023 00:01:04] A/)-Lazurith: Nnh? Oh, yeah. You're kind of a twig.
[14.04.2023 00:01:09] A/)-Lazurith: But so am I. <Cloaking device overheating>
[14.04.2023 00:07:07] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: I'll stick with you. I learned my lesson with these things...

[14.04.2023 00:07:43] A/)-RV-Pentation: Seems we have an Order vessel in sight

[14.04.2023 00:08:28] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: Terrorist vessle, cut your engines and state your business.
[14.04.2023 00:08:37] ROV-Amun: [Silence]
[14.04.2023 00:08:54] Cloaking Device restored.
[14.04.2023 00:08:56] A/)-RV-Pentation: So, an Order vessel?
[14.04.2023 00:08:57] Preparing to cloak...
[14.04.2023 00:09:01] Cloaking device off
[14.04.2023 00:09:03] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: That was a command, terrorist.
[14.04.2023 00:09:24] A/)-RV-Pentation: Very well. I have orders to destroy the vessel
[14.04.2023 00:09:31] A/)-Lazurith: Incoming.
[14.04.2023 00:09:32] A/)-RV-Pentation: Preparing main weapons. Targeting the Order vessel
[14.04.2023 00:10:01] A/)-Lazurith: Aggressing the terrorists.
[14.04.2023 00:10:19] [R]-Double.Down: Wait.
[14.04.2023 00:10:20] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Escort craft, disable the spy vessel. Detain any pods.
[14.04.2023 00:10:22] [R]-Double.Down: A Yacht?
[14.04.2023 00:10:36] [KNF]Ni.Kazu.Chidori.: A yacht hailing terrorist IFF, yes.
[14.04.2023 00:10:38] [R]-Double.Down: The fuck the Order get one of those?
[14.04.2023 00:10:52] SLRC-XV>Cryptomnesia: That's really unusual... oh dear...
[14.04.2023 00:10:53] A/)-Lazurith: It's in gun range, Achlys. Shoot it.
[14.04.2023 00:10:58] Death: ROV-Amun was put out of action by A/)-RV-Pentation (Gun).

Allow me to briefly introduce myself, I am known as Solandros, an Admiral within the Order Overwatch.
Given the sensitive nature of this particular case I decided to look into this matter personally.
Frankly I was quite surprised by your message; we were aware of the liner in question but had been informed that it had been destroyed during extraction.
While I'm glad to hear it remained intact, the loss of our operatives life far outweights this small boon.
Still, we owe you some form of gratitude, assuming your story checks out of course.
Regarding the points you have raised;
1 & 2 will be verified by Order operatives, as well as your claim regarding the destruction of all Order tech onboard.
If we are suitably reassured about your story we can move on to 3. Assuming that goes well, 4 might be on the table.
A time and place for all things yes?
Let me know where you currently are and I'll see about having an agent reach out to you to vet your story.

I apologise for the delay, it seems the transmission was a bit garbled before and the operative in question went to the Sigma-59 system, I have directed another to Omicron Minor.
Not a problem, these Junker transcomm arrays are notorious for acting up. I'm on the vessel "RDV-Nightingale". I'll continue standing by until your agent reaches me.

I met with your agents. The body has been transferred to one Eddy Narson (at least that was his IFF) and discussions had.
I have updated my superiors of the meet and they are gladdened that the body was returned and will see funeral honors for his service. They have requested that I follow up on the continued dialogue between our respective organizations as well as the possibility in working together on the Stealth Ship project (now code named "Artemis" in our organization) as previously mentioned in my initial communication.
I await your return transmission. If discussions are needed in person, our previous meeting place will suffice.
