Hello, agent.

You'll find I've forwarded scans taken on our friend "Alice", at least two of their aspects. The craft in Texas that holds the object I suspect is more to your interest, but take note: that Archon functions as some sort of converted fabricator for the unit's network. It could be worth your attention as a priority danger, too.

Note the comm-logs, also attached. Appearing naive has been a remarkably effective way to entice others to try and use me. Guess it's not working out quite how the bot expected. I hope the rest of your organization is more responsible than whoever made this thing. Don't let it run wild activating things we don't understand.

May this serve as evidence enough of my good faith. Pennsylvania needs the material assistance of The Order if what we've discussed about the Guerrero field is true. I'll stand by to hear where we should send trusted parties. That technology of yours will find use sooner or later, I fear, if we're going to insure ourselves against the agendas swirling around us.

To our continued cooperation. By what I judge from Sabah, you're in as much need as we are. Does this mean Crayter aren't the House playthings we figured them for?

Bonjour.

Such detailed heads-up is more than appreciated. Though perhaps, as I am seeing these logs, we would need your help, given your relations with this AI. But that is still a thing to ponder on and about, for now.

You are more right than wrong about Crayter and what is currently taking rest there. As I said, our cooperation will be more than mutually beneficial. And Crayter is a quite reliable state of themselves after all, albeit they rely on the giants they exist in-between of. The story of how exactly things ended up like this is rather long and more than that - not something I will disclose. Yet.

My message to the Edges is on its way. I will notify you here about how and where to start on more... Material side of business, once I have the answer. But do prepare your runners for a long and perilous journey in advance.

Stay alive. Au revoir.

I understand. Contact me if I may lend myself to the catch.

The supply retrieval efforts I expect to lead personally. My know-how in crossing the gaps between Houses and out on the Edge will see us to any destination you set, safely. If your leadership intends to send a message to ours to open communications about the threat, that'll go a long way. It helps me to not lose trust with Bowman and the rest of Group Clarion, were I to simply arrive with freighters full of strange weapons and scanners from "a mysterious benefactor".

I wish I could guarantee you that the other Erie Militant cells will come to appreciate the danger like you and I do, but they may not listen. Tired hearts cleave to the simple answer under this kind of pressure, and we've been fighting a good long while. It could get seen for an LSF honeypot and dismissed. I'll do my utmost to persuade my cell otherwise, once it comes.

Then at least, I won't be alone in this.

Bonjour.

They will contact Bowman once the first, "testing", run is finished. I will make sure of that. My leadership, as much as yours, needs not only words, but actions to earn their trust. After all, we know the lines we walk, be that about aliens or Houses.

Speaking of. You will collect the first shipment at Dabadoru station, Omicron Delta. Transmit the attached codes on your approach and docks will be open for you. Only once, this time. After the job is done, my superiors will consider how lasting your access will be.

2000 units of cargo will be ready for you to pick up, containers marked as Alien Organisms, that are found on Kurile for easier storage on destination point of your journey. It will not fool cargo scanners, so your delivery will not be easier, keep that in mind.

The endpoint will be Barrier Gate station. One of our operatives will meet you on approach. Think of that as an old-school method, but you will be asked a question:

"What did Mr. Alistair have for breakfast?"

And your answer will be:

"Fried nails."

Authentification codes to access Dabadoru are attached.

Also, be so kind to send me a copy of delivered cargo manifest once you are done, oui? It will speed up the process.

Good luck. Au revoir.

Data received. We can accomplish that.

I'll put together and lead a freighter convoy. My cell doesn't have access to a larger transport yet, but without Clarion being looped in it's beside the point. My own associates and I should be enough to handle it, if more than one arriving ship is permissible to you. Freighters'll also let us deftly bypass some paths that are rife with danger. If I remember my days in Starlight clearly enough... I may have a route in mind.

At that set amount of "organisms" to be transported, I'll need to travel with four ships, if this is to be completed in a single transit using the docking codes for your station. I believe I can muster three quite easily, including my own. A fourth may take some looking, so I'll get started.

If we got two docking allowances instead of one, that'd simplify things. Perilous as it is, I can make a second trip. I leave whether that's reasonable up to you. We shall proceed as described, in the meantime.

Bonjour.

They will be able to accommodate and allow several ships at a time. Yet, repeated visits fall in question. I can, of course, try and round off the corners, if three freighters is all you can muster up without bringing a third party into the job. After all, it is better done discreet and successful, rather than rushed and failed.

That is my opinion, in any case. And your job to do, thus and the decisions made while you are at it.

Consider all of this endeavour, first and foremost, a test. Both of your capabilities and skill by my colleagues, and of your accomplices and their motivation by yourself. In the end, the cargo is valuable, the cargo is sensitive to those we oppose.

Your call.

Melusine? It's me.

I ran into some hiccups in arranging capable ships for a while, but an opportunity did present itself. Bowman made the connections to get us an armored transport recently, to grant the cell a little more independence on the supply side.

This was lucky news, but, it's just that I'm, strictly speaking, not necessarily allowed to run Bowman's new ship off to the Omicrons.

So... I chose to cross a line.

I made a suggestion to put the EMS Leatherwood to a test run towards Ames Research Station, with me aboard to guide it through safely, and he agreed. The captain, though, I spun another story altogether to win his cooperation in our little detour. Half-truths about our mission.

Don't think I'm proud of doing that.

You'll hear they did well, if you've not already. Our freelancer escort, too. They obliged my order to stay at Eleven during the pickup, to not spread knowledge of your outpost unnecessarily. No complaints. We know our mutual friend, but Heinrike's a professional.

The captain suspected me though, I think. I didn't stop him from straightening out stories with Bowman after our return. And I didn't want to. I violated their trust, and now I must face the music. It simply is what it is. I'll be getting reprimanded in person soon.

I'll warn him about why I did this and my experiences with the threat, Melusine. What they are, and what they make of people. What they sought to make of me. If he isn't completely in the dark, maybe I'll plant the seed for your side to commit him to this arrangement.

Or I may wind up brigged for a long time.

Bonjour.

So it was a maiden voyage after all. Yes, I have got a word about the goods reaching their destination successfully. How you handeled this endeavour will be noted, of course, and more to that - I hope that with an incoming message from my colleagues, Bowman will come to an understanding why you have done what you have done. At least, I hope that he will realise that it is for his people's good, as well as that a long run like this is a good test for a new aquired vessel.

Speaking of which and jokes aside, I will now relay what you have sent me, for a good measure. Bowman shall expect a communication line opening up, as well as, I am guessing, a material reward for a job well executed. Because my collegues will be most glad to see such success.

However, I hope it turns out better, than you suggest. Though, if all of this will go completely south, I suppose you will have a place to stay.

Au revoir.

Well hi, Melusine.

The Order finally made the call, and I'm a free woman, thank goodness.

It took a minute, didn't it? I was wondering if I'd have to break into my own ship down here. Would've been a curious challenge evading everybody. Maybe that'd be a good test of base security, but, I don't think they'd appreciate that coming from me for a while.

Between all our efforts, I think we have Bowman seeing the big picture. Although, I may be restricted from going aboard Clarion's ships. I don't get to lean on the command staff so easily anymore either. Tsk, restricted access. I've set a bit of a bad example by shanghaiing Southpaw. But, now we'll have tools at our disposal that we urgently need. I've absolutely done worse for less.

I'm grateful that you've given us the chance. It doesn't stem the tide yet, but it's a good start.

Are you in good shape yourself? Your flame still burns steady?
