Gentlemen,

First off, when first spotting your message, I thought you were advertising some kind of mercenary band rather then a research wing. The term "Battlegroup" does not give the labcoat-and-safetygoggles feel, you may wish to address that. But regardless.

In order to see if we have any projects we could apply to you, we need to know what the capabilities of your staff are. Most research teams are very specialized after all. Where are your strong suits? Planetary sciences? Terraforming? Xenobiological research? Xenoarcheological? Chemical? Interstellar vehicle design?

We do have one project that we could use assistance on if you feel up to the challenge. We need a high capacity, reliable, reusable filtration system to purge gaseous cyanide and sulphide from a station's atmosphere. On occasion, these gases are used while mining, and an accidental release at this point requires us to evacuate that portion of the station, vent out the contaminated air into space, repair the leak, and then repressurize. Naturally, this is highly disruptive and we'd like to have a better alternative. Since these mining operations are rather large, the higher the cleansing capacity, the better. A reduction to non-toxic levels is what we require this filter to do. Preferably low energy, something a few solar panels could effectively supply, although if this is not possible, a high energy version would be acceptable.

If you feel up to the challenge, present us with a quote for this. If you need further information, feel free to contact me.


Regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild
