Professor Clay... It is an honor indeed. I am unsure if what you ask for without compensation is the weapon research or our diplomatic standing... So I will give you both. Controls to a remove vessel have been privately sent, you will find the weapons research within.
As for our reputation, our DATA SHEET speaks for itself. But here is a little more detail...
The Junkers, whom we work with to smuggle gathered cargo on our pirating operations as well as giving us use of their shipyard to construct our mobile station/research/manufacturing center, are among those we keep as close contacts.
And, the Outcasts, specifically the 101st'¦ We have been working with them for quite some time. Hunting their enemies, spying for them, delivering Cardimine... They have even entrusted us with some of their vessels, just as they have you.
Now as for the information about happenings in Gallia. You will find the information regarding OSI's involvement with the Royalists, and their method of moving their cargo from their ships to the "hostile" bases quite detailed. The video feed is detailed, and should be right up your alley when it comes to intel.
As for our request, news of the weapons your Gunships possess has perked ears within the Renegades. We ask for copies of the Production Blueprints for your H4-Z "Brimstone" Lane Hacker Gunboat Turrets. With them we will be able to begin production of them for our vessels. No need for you to make them for us.
Though, amassing such prints and giving them away to a group may be costly no? So we are willing to offer a sum of 500million credits, on top of the List from the LPS and the information regarding the OSI and their workings with the Royalists of Gallia.
