I was quite impressed with your work earlier today before the raid. The information you supplied was relatively accurate and very detailed. You're a skilled ally to have and I've decided to cultivate you as an intelligence asset/informant.
It's entirely your choice if you would like to pursue this. You will of course be well compensated/paid for any assignments you complete. Reply on this channel if you're interested, and I'll give you your first assignment.
Don't keep me waiting.
Sincerely,
Ins. Erich Stoltenberg

Oh well, I can talk as normal man now. I hope you understand, why I would like to keep my face in shadow. Also, time is very limited for me now, not going to waste it.
I like deal you offer me. As long, your assigments can be completed by gunboat type craft, I can try.
For now, let's not talk about motivation from my side. The only thing I say- it's just more than bussines. It should be more then enough for our first contackt.
As a reward. I would like to have a safe house in Rheinland space. 4 Room apartment for me will be enough, I dont need a manson. But I need such apartment, as alternative house to get. Second...I need unmarked ship. Civilian transport, which could transport me as passenger from noted station to Rheinland.
I wont take Spectrum far outside from Liberty space. That's all for now. Awaiting for assigment.
......................................................................................................................
If you complete the following assignment, we can offer you an apartment as per your specifications at Planet New Berlin. Do good work for us, and I may be able to offer you an apartment at the Augsberg Orbital Colony.
As for your first assignment, I'd like you to scope out a Liberty Navy base in California known as Willard Research Station. It's located in the Tahoe Ice Field. We need information on its defences, how many defence turrets there are, what kind of damage they can deal etc. We'll have your apartment plus an additional 5,000,000 credit reward ready for you when you complete this assignment.
I'll also add in a 2,000,000 bonus if you can dock/sneak into the station and find out what commodities are being sold and/or imported to the station.
Good luck.
Sincerely,

Greetings back.
Well, you can consider yourself lucky, because, I know base, you talking about. It's location is keept in secret, and base is hiden from civilian traffic, but... our ships had that base on scanners few times. In general, this assigment wont be hard. We shall re-calebrate our sensors, and launch into space in nearest time.

Greetings back.
Greetings! I have to appologize for a delay, but there were no other way.
This message being transmited via automated drone, which will self-explode, after noted time. I could not afford to transmit signal from my ship, and keep all the data there. So this is the only copy of material I have for you. In few days, my ship will be moved into dry docks, and all information about Wilard station should be removed.
So. About Wilard Station. It's located in Tahoe cloud. It's not very well hiden *smiles*, like someone can hide base better than us right? So...even if you dont have exact coordinations of Wilard, you can just fly in cruise mode, near trade lane from California Minor to Magelan jump gates. Good scanner will find it.
Defence. There is 3-4 Large Station Turrets, and around same number of EMP station turrets, which are powerfull enough, to break sheilds. Heavy hull blasting weaponry not detected, same goes with weapon platforms. Until, your ship haven't been discovered and idented as hostile, base will be "sleeping". However, when you came close enough, be ready for some dances. Main defence garrisons consisting of fightersm, sometimes, even Mk I type of ships. In case of seriouse threat, station "could" launch bombers. However, dont be fooled by this trick! Station located not far from planet California Minor, which is listed in capital ship patrol point. It's matter of minutes, before first dreadnought with battlecruiser friends, appear on your scanners. But if see it, I my congrads! You gave them some work to do.
What inside? Unfortunatly... we had no chances to get inside. As long my ship idented as hostile, all ports are locked. In that case, you need some infiltrator team, with armor perforation equipment. But there goes simple logic. What can be inside secret * winks * but not very top, military research instalation? Yeah, your right. Automated turrets in hallways, armored doors after each 15 metters, battlerobots, area decompression, may be even anti-infantry mines.
What I would say... I'd say kill it, rather then capture. Base indeed located not far from capital ship patrole area, so, they can arrive right when infiltration in progress.
Dealing significant damages to station, at least, disabling it, would be probably easier, that infiltrate it.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about strange sensor or something device, near station. I have no clue what is it. Im not jouking. But probably, it can detect your ship, before you enter into cloud. Impressive? Yeah...thats makes task even harder. So...thats all what I can tell about Wilard. We are still pirates, not super agents, with magic equipment.

Mr. Loue,
The intelligence you've provided is proving to be quite useful. Your apartment at Planet New Berlin is ready and you should recieve the 5,000,000 credits through ghosts accounts registered with Interspace Commerce soon.
For your next assignment, I'd like for you to conduct some surveillance and if possible, get a scan of the battle cruiser protecting the mined jump gate at the Texas system. The Rheinland Military has had quite some difficulty in engaging that battle cruiser and we need to know why. If there are any other Liberty Navy ships nearby, get a scan of them too.
You will be paid the standard 5,000,000 credits for this job, with an additional 2,000,000 for a scan of the battle cruiser protecting the mined jump gate in the Texas system. There will be a 500,000 credit bonus for scans of any other Liberty Navy vessel you spot near that mined jump gate.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Ins. Erich Stoltenberg

Oh, I was worry about probe-transmitter. As you recived our information, means, that it's all fine. We will do send assigment resoult in same way, but at this time, from Hudson system, alright?
About that jumpgate...and battlecruiser. Hmm, that's interesting. We saw a jumpgate, surrounded by minefield, but...we had a bad experience with everything surrounded by minefield. You know New York... we prefer to stay away from such kind of areas. Reasons should be obviose.
So...I take this assigment, but...dont expect bright resoults. *Smiles* But we'll do our best.
Good luck there!

Greetings again Inspector. I have to inform you, about time change. We can make scan of that battlecruiser, but it wont show us much. I made several contacts, and took some jobs, for exchange on very powerfull scanner and sensor array. Ofcours, that will take some time. I can give you fast scanning resoult relatively soone, but for advanced deep scan and search, some time is necessary.
It's a deal?
