Hello from the other side of Sirius again. Follows a report on our progress so far.
We received the special Nomad containing cells from OSD today. My Spatial as small enough was serviced directly in space, while the other two ships were worked on in their Freeport Docking slots. We have now officiall permission from OSD to continue our sample collecting and carry nomad remains in a safe order.
Here are some logs from our meeting : Log1, Log2, Log3.
We also received some research materiel and 3 specimens in good condition, which should prove to be of great value for our project.
The Order commander did have a request/question, which I am forwarding to the Guild here :
Request - Log1, Log2, Log3
Not my place to decide, but I see no difficulty in providing those ships.
We are now in position to continue with our research with all the samples and specimens we can collect.
We are still prohibited from entering Order space, and the permission for carrying nomad artifacts was not given, but we hope that too will come with time.
I have initiated a contact with the administration on Freport 11 about our permanent lodging here, but have no answer so far. We can continue to work from our temporary quarters for some weeks still, but if no answer comes, I will try and contact the authorities in Freeport XV. That however is not an issue for the moment.
That will be all for now.
Dr. Vale over and out
