Elizabeth;

Hello, Katherine Pennybrooke.

You did express an interest in this subject, but were also very vague on the specifics. I have traveled to the Edge, and I may be willing to "present your desires", as it were. I make no guarantees for my ability to communicate with them, and especially not their acceptance of whatever it is you ask.

But please, ask.

~ Katherine

Esteemed Miss Pennybrooke,

I have found a researcher among my personnel who will be interested to accompany you. Her name is Aoi Oono. I would like you to teach her, in theory and in practice, how to communicate with Nomads, so that she can educate a new team of experts on Exeter when she comes back. Can you do that? How long do you think it would take?

Elizabeth;

It's a small world after all, I suppose.

I have met Oono, and we held interesting conversation. We engaged in some correspondence after that; I found her to be a charming and intriguing young lady. I had wondered if she ever pursued her plans to explore the sector, it's a remarkable coincidence that I would hear about her again from you.

At any rate, I would be happy to work with her. I can't really speak for time tables though, since none of this is what we would consider an exact science.

Esteemed Miss Pennybrooke,

Can you come to Planet Exeter this week? I can assign a patrol to lead you to Chateau d'Or, our planetary HQ, and arrange for Oono to wait for you here.

I will be on my way. It's a long flight, but barring any unexpected interference, that shouldn't be a problem.

If you will be watching the mooring logs, look for a Democritus-class, callsign Volcarona.

I look forward to our work.

~ Katherine
