I'll arrange everything this week - cargo shipments included. Are you sure that Pennsylvania is a better spot, though? That is much closer to Liberty, which can make matters worse. I suggest sticking with Barrier Gate or at least somewhere in Cortez or Magellan.
I'll see what I can find out about that magic door in the meantime. Do you want a general overview or something specific?

Prospero
After the incident with the locals and Prospero, it has been decided that we should lay low before we overstay our welcome. Most of our staybehind assets there are now operating at minimum capacity until attention has shifted elsewhere.
Pennsylvania may not be ideal, but it is lawless enough for our ships to operate there under the fog of the insurgency.
A general overview should be sufficient for now, our awareness of the region is not what it used to be - and there are large gaps that must be filled.
Kai Siegfried, Director Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes
The Gate seems to be in poor working order right now. Over the course of several days Prospero has spent its time surveying any incoming traffic. Battlecruiser Lehigh and the occasional LSF fighter patrols are the only ones keeping DSE's repair ships safe. Every now and then an unmarked Freighter visits the site to deliver supplies.
There's also a 'Bustard' - Class Carrier which might be stockpiling a large portion of necessary materials to fix the Jump Gate. Blow that one up and the whole operation turns to dust. The entrepreneur in me says we can just auction off any loot we find to the Lane Hackers, or let the Xenos have it so they're happy for a while longer.
In other news, 'Seidr' has set course to Schatten to deliver the first set of documents. Next delivery should be due in thirty days. Give or take, I mean. And uh...stand by for that list, yeah?

What wonderful time to be alive, isn't it Direktor? Damien sends his regards with a list of goods he'd like to requisition. There's nothing too fancy by the looks of it, so it shouldn't be a problem for one or two unmarked transports to find their way to Fort Ramsey. Keyword unmarked - because nobody wants to deal with the fallout of why we're doing what we're doing.
And forgive me for indulging into the holiday spirit, but I'd like to ask you something. A little shipment for little ole' me. Canisters of tetrodotoxin and necrotoxins - twenty five in total.
Right-O. 'Seidr' has reached Schatten and delivered the first batch of documents. Energy readings and estimates of where that shooting beam is headed for. Until a proper breakthrough occurs I'll focus on monitoring alien activity in the region.

Been a while, Director. Liberty got shaken up a bit since we last spoke. I kept a keen eye on activities involving Ontario and whatever else the LSF has been cooking. It is safe to say that your shipments found great use in the conflict.
I can give you a full report on the matter on request. Before we go any further, however, I'd like to ask for two things, if you don't mind humoring me for a brief minute. Firstly, the Xenos are in need of extra supplies to offset the amount of resources that have been poured into this. Meds, spare ship parts and food are pretty important right about now. If you want to keep them happy, I suggest providing some. It ought to raise the spirits and paint the Buro in a slightly better image than before. Secondly, a sum of 1.500.000 Credits. I have no real comment here. I work, and I'd like to get paid every now and then to stay afloat. Ontario was no cheap adventure, I'll tell you that much.

Status Update
So we have heard. Much of our operational capacity has been requested with ongoing efforts against the Corsairs in the proximal Omicrons - so I have arranged for alternative logistical support in the meantime while we re-tool our blockade runners for use in the Border Worlds. They know only exactly as much as required of them, let's keep it that way. Expect them on Fontana - Book yourself a room at the 'Crystal Palace Motel' under the name 'Derek Mittelmann' for the next month. You will be contacted when the dropoff is ready.
As for your payment, the sum has been wired to your accounts.
Kai Siegfried, Director Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes
I know about the Corsairs. Recenty I've taken up on Phoenix's Bounty Board for a few credits to justify my presence in the region. Not sure why you decide to strike right at their heart though -- maybe a topic we can work on, don't you think?
I've ordered the Prospero to leave Ontario for the time being and move to Omicron Theta. Sudbury has turned into a conflict zone filled to the brim with threats it can simply not take on alone, or with its assorted fighters. 'Suppose we'll meet more often on the battlefield now. Compromised hull be damned.
Right, and do consider the cargo to be taken care of. Derek already got the memo, he's soon to offload everything to a final destination.

A token of appreciation
The captain of the Walkure has been quite insistent that you have saved his ship from considerable repairs during a recent incursion. Well done.
I have added a little bonus to your operational funds - spend it however you'd like, but I think it would be best for the mission to not spend it on things that will give you a hangover.
Kai Siegfried, Director Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes
I thought you knew there's more to me than just booze, Director! Silly me, of course you knew. After all, you published some fancy file about me -- or at least that's what one Military Officer told me in front of New Berlin. You couldn't have possibly written in bold "likes alcohol" over the entire damn thing.
But yeah, tell the Captain of the Walkure that he's got my thanks for the bonus. And that I'll probably see him soon enough in the field. The Prospero is now being serviced at Oder Shipyard for some much needed attention. With Coronado gone to shit I need something that can stand the increasing amount of radiation. It's kind of why I'm roaming Rheinland for the time being.
