If you find yourself able and willing, we believe it to be of benefit if you played along with their game to learn more about what they're doing. A double agent, as you will. More reward will be in it for this in terms of gear, but monetary is available otherwise.

See if you can find anything about those cretins.

It's been a minute since I last used this channel and I'm hoping AXI-F-3242 managed to fill whoever will be picking this up about our conversation earlier. If not allow me to quickly sum it up, Price on my head just went up, enough that it means even Liberty isn't quite as safe as it used to be. So with that out of the way first step of the plan we hatched is being taken care of, I contacted Jukins and I am waiting for him to get back to me. Oh and I was told to ask about relocating planetside, since it is apparently safer and what not.

Affiliate Ulysses.

I have read over the flight reports from Expeditionary Unit 3242 regarding this little trip you two have planned. I must stress that we cannot fully guarantee you protection outside the controlled realm of the Technocracy, so if you are in trouble, we can only offer you an extraction point or limited fire response. Regarding your request for planetside accomodation, we can have that set. You will need to visit customs upon the Citadel to get your pass and identity set up for entry.

If you opted for the physical access card instead of chip insertion; Don't lose it. Or the automation may mistake you for an unauthorised lifeform and stun you.

Now, about your trip... I truly suggest caution on where you go, location will matter - don't get yourself stranded, or stuck in a situation where emergency systems has malfunctioned, or come crashing down to the nearest solar object as a meteor. And if you find yourself shipless, we do happen to have some spare CTE 750AE's laying around here. I'm sure the authorities will be slow to figure out.

Try not to get yourself killed. Utilize a drone pilot if you must. If not, then keep in mind of my warning regarding emergency system failure, or else you'll become star dust.

Right, well if this goes well protection outside Technocracy space shouldn't be too big a problem, but even then it's better than nothing. Anyway as for the "trip" don't worry I'll keep all that in mind. Jukins got back to me and he is in, he is doing some digging around for me and we'll be ready to get on with it soon enough.
