Greetings pilots! I'd like to present you a unique opportunity which is becoming a
part of my private security fleet, to embark on an epic journey across the stars.
You would be working for the benefit of all of us as I'm a dedicated researcher
who will never refuse a challenge.

1) Attendance
When requested, you are to do everything in your power to escort and protect
me. If you however cannot fulfill the request, you are to present a clear
explanation and answer to the call as soon as possible.

2) Research
The research I do is a secret which you may not disclose with anyone.

3) Zones of Interest
I venture where my research projects will be conducted or where my curiosity
leads me.

4) Chief of Security
At the start of each expedition, I will designate a Chief of Security who will take
care of me. That means, he's the one who'll be coordinating the defense of my
ship and will keep me out of harm's way.

5) "Manus manum lavat"
At the present time, I cannot offer you anything in return except for the fruits of
my labor, so I do not expect you to stay in the fleet for an indefinite period.


This channel will be used for your duty confirmations, feedback, questions and
announcements. Do not refrain from using it.

Greetings, Mara. Your propositions are definitely acceptable, as they will benefit both of us and will allow us to reach our goals.
Although, before we can start fulfilling our duties, this vessel we recently acquired is still undergoing repairs and not all ship systems are functioning properly. Maybe, you and your technicians would take a look at the damaged parts?
Also, we will forward this channel to Mr. Grant as well.

On a side note

Encryption: Maximum, delete after reading.
Due to security reasons, we would be glad if you would not disclose our identity even in such secured channels, as long as it stays on NeuralNet. As recent events did show, there are entities in Sirius that are capable of intercepting even highly secured information. One of IND subdivisions comes in mind. Also, it will prevent the use of this information against you... by your fellow Guild members, that might not agree with the way you work. In case they will get their hands on your personal communication channels, that is.

I'm sure that I won't be the first to tell you that I appreciate the opportunity. Although we've worked together before I feel the need to remind you that you won't be disappointed. If something comes up let me know.

Signal Closed.

You have all answered to the call. I hereby christen this fleet Sec-F standing for
Security Force. You will soon be added to a channel using S.K.Y.P.3 protocol, so I
can better coordinate the assets this fleet has.

Mr Hunt, Ortiz, the repairs are underway and should be finished any day now.
The goods you requested have been delivered to Jakarta Orbital Facility on 18. of
March 819 A.S. I would still very much like to reverse engineer your vessels, but
without your consent I shall not proceed.
