My name is Hermann Schmidt, the regional manager for OS&C in Baden Baden, Stuttgart. I am contacting you on behalf of our director, Mrs. Cross, regarding an important matter concerning the public safety of the planet Baden Baden itself.
As you are well aware, the planet is located one trade lane segment away from the Jump Gate to Omega-11. The system in question was presumed to have been swept away by the fury of the supernova that was expected to explode within it. However, as we all know, this event did not occur, and currently, the Jump Gate has been reopened for civilian traffic. The issue at hand is that no one knows with certainty what has transpired in that system during these years. No one knows, during the closure of both military and civilian traffic, who or what may have taken root there.
The law enforcement authorities in Rheinland seem to be disregarding the matter. However, we, stationed in Baden Baden, are concerned. We all have in mind the images of Cologne besieged by the Hessians, of Saarbrucken occupied and never returned to its original state. We do not want this planet to suffer the same fate, and I say this first as a Rheinlander and then as an employee. Behind the Jump Gate to Omega-11, some may see potential and adventure, but all we see are concerns. Therefore, here is the request we are making:
We need the most up-to-date information available on the Omega-11 system. Not just purely cartographic data. We need to know who is hiding within, an estimate of how many rogue forces are stationed there, and the potential threat to Baden Baden. I realize this is a significant request to make, which is why I am prepared to discuss the terms and financial compensation should you decide to accept this assignment, even in person. In this regard, I will be in Curacao shortly, should we choose to meet.
Awaitng for your response, I wish you a pleasant evening.
Leon Vicci, Starfliers To: Hermann Schmidt, Orbital Spa & Cruise Subject: Omega-11 System
Pleasure to meet you, or at least see a message from you, Hermann.
I'm sorry to hear that you have worries about Omega-11. I haven't exactly been over to Baden Baden, but I do know that you are located very close to the gate leading into Omega-11. Quite some time ago we had recorded details on that system, happy to pass over the details we have recovered. I might instruct one of our pilots to see if anything has changed since our last cartography pass.
Meeting on Curacao is easy for us as we've recently relocated into Inverness, I'll take the '\S/'Velorum over and we can talk about the situation more. Hope what we find doesn't alarm you too much.
