Wolf sits up in the chair in his office, a glass of fine, bretonian whisky sits on his desk, the bottle next to it. He takes a small sip, before sitting forward, ready to begin the message
Mr. McCool, Head Researcher for Phoenix,
It is an honour to speak with you, someone in such a noble profession. I contact you, regarding the messages between ourself, various members of Phoenix itself, and our own Gabe Willson. The research he speaks of, Gallic Artifacts is my concern. The specific two you mention are of no concern to me, unless they can fall into the categories i am about to provide.
he takes another sip from the glass
Myself and my Brother oversee all research carried out by the Solar Runners, you see, and our current project is into the power core capabilities and limitations of ships. Our work is currently maxing out power cores, seeing how ships react to this, and we may be looking into some possible nomad research relating to this. The gallic artifacts are a very grey area for us, and if you have any connection to power with them, i would really appreciate it if you would let me know. Any research you discover with Gabe, i would also appreciate a copy sent to my desk. I have found him to be a slacker, so i won't mind if you give him a kick up the backside to get him working.
But my points are:
A copy of any power research you may find relating to Gallic Artifacts would be greatly appreciated
A copy of any research you find with Gabe. I need to keep a record of such and would find it an interesting read, which would be greatly appreciated
You may give him a kick up the backside for slacking *pauses* which would be greatly appreciated
I hope what i ask will not be too taxing for you, and i hope to hear many great discoveries from you.
In the meantime,
Councilman Joseph Wolf,
Secretary of Fleets and Diplomatic Affairs,
Solar Runners
Apologies fer ta delay. As ya can see, I'm respondin' aboard ta Nechtan, as I'm makin' meh way towards Ames presently.
Now, on ta business. Coincidentally, meh current project is in line with yers as well. Mehself and meh team are currently conducting research into ta various effects and capabilities of power cores in correlation with matter found around Sirius, as well as possible expansion and enhancements of ta aforementioned. At present, ta effects of ancient Gallic artifacts have yet to be discovered, though ta be honest, our research has only jus begun. Those two subjects would be of great use in meh labs on Ames, and hopefully we can tap into their potential, should there be any.
Regarding Mr. Willson, I have extended him an invitation ta come and temporarily work within ta labs and to assist in meh research project. I will also ensure he makes a proper report to ya lad should he come. Though, to be honest, I employ strict guidelines to meh team. If Mr. Willson will be workin' with meh, I expect him ta follow these as well:
All hours will be monitored, and appropriate break times shall be granted, up to half ta hours worked.
Mandatory breaks shall include, but not limited to, naping, drinking, flying, eating, and drinking.
Any research of importance shall be directed to mehself immediately. Breakthroughs will be rewarded with a one nights stay aboard McCools Tavern, with complimentary food and beverages. Please ensure to have credits on hand to tip ta Dancers.
Any research involving ***** artifacts or biomatter shall be approved only be mehself. Any research member or team caught conducting research into such shall have all their drinking privileges revoked, and will be sent back to their laboratory of origin. Or a sun. Probably a sun.
Any other rule I come up with.
If he can follow those simple rules lad, then I'm sure we'll have no problems! As well, any research he is involved in will be reported on, and sent to ya.
I hope he is up to ta task, and I hope our research can bring benefit to us both! Perhaps next time yer in ta Kepler system, ya can stop by Ames and see fer yerself what meh and meh team are workin' on. I'll save some of my private reserve as well lad.
