Jared,

It's been way too long since the two of us spoke, apart from that brief and unfinished conversation at the Rheinland border. What have you been up to? I haven't seen your Raiders anywhere around Sirius. What happened to them? I left Malta roughly four years ago, soon after we saved the Harbinger. You were there, remember? Not long after the event, I figured I'd pay a visit to our associates at the Arch. Unfortunately, staying there wasn't an option, and it was time for me to move on. Ever since then, I've been roaming around Sirius, gathering every bit of information I can on anything I can.

A week ago or so, I decided to pay a visit to the good old Malta. I nearly forgot how beautiful it looks, even from the orbit. Ran into a couple of Crimson Cross people and made a deal with them. Apparently, the Reapers are alive and rebuilding their forces. In exchange for any intelligence I can get on them, the Cross is willing to compensate me in any way I deem necessary. Not going to ask for much, just the ability to occasionally visit Malta. It seems like the Ghosts weren't happy with my departure and now whenever I enter Alpha the Maltese patrols are after me. I need to fix that.

Mortensen, my good old friend.

I do remember good old days and Harbinger. Unfortunately my dear friend, dark times are coming. My organisation suffered great loss from that incident in Texas. I don't know if you've heard, but whole Order primary fleet decloaked in front of our station and turned it into ball of flame withnin minutes.

I tried to locate some of Raiders but with out luck. I've found some of followers and tried to rebuild organisation but again, with out luck. It worked for some time but soon it ended up, they're all missing.

As for the Crimson Cross, I had doubts in the beginning, with my return to Malta, after the incident. They weren't too friendly but over the time, that changed and I had no doubts any more, they are good for Maltese.

Stay away from Ghosts. Gabriella openly befriended with Auxesians in Coronado. She even made them to hunt down one of my students. I can hand you down transcripts, same ones that I sent to Inquisitor Erikasaria since, it was a matter of security for Malta.

I've heard about Reapers, I was wandering trough Omegas. I also hear that same Auxesians are with them, what an irony.

As I said. Dark times are coming. Our enemies that fought wars between are now allying. Collect as much info as you can and give it to Crimson Cross. I'm afraid that the situation isn't good for Malta. It still suffers from civil war. There's not yet unity.

To end this topic, my old friend, I have proposition for you.

We could join forces. There are projects left behind Samarran Raiders, that are unfinished. Projects that would benefit the collective. After all, you and me serve to the same cause. You were back in past already part of mindshare, so you do know about what projects I'm talking about. You're also aware that with Raiders' departure, those projects were on hold.

I would like to see you more, perhaps somewhere on secure soil. I could get to Altair, if you decide to stay there. Let me know soon,

Nomak out.
