Transmission from the JIVA department to the Order Headquarter

The JIVA cooperation was founded years ago and is operating under the supervision of Corinth Research Authority. We are specialized in xenobiology and are indeed focussing on alien the unknown xeno-genom, which includes the nature of the so called Nomad biology and other alien biologies.

We must question your authority regarding this "law". The JIVA department has been capable and responsible in dealing with any xenocellular bodies and it is needless to say that we depend on alien speciment for our research.

We cannot accept your authority and your threat of murder unless this new law is ratified by all three major Zoner groups, the TAZ, the OSI and the Phoenix. Until those three have confirmed and accepted this demand we must consider any threat against our ships and couriers an act of violation that may threaten the relationship between the research staff of Corinth and the Order group.

We are not dealing in research that leads to weapons and have always taken the utmost precaution when it comes to safety when conducting our experiments, instead of some of your researchers who have turned alien technology into weapon technology.

sincerely CEO of the Xenoresearch group Corinth, Dr Ásgærðr Varðrdottir

postscript:

We also do not wish to ask the Order for approval of rights. That is not why we started our research in the edgeworlds to ask yet another authority for "approval".
