To: ALL Zoners, notice.

[Dourden4]

As CEO of Omicron Supply Industries, I will once again affirm my companies cooperation with the aforementioned directives. It only makes sense in my eyes to defer to a group that has greater expertise in dealing with and securing Nomad materials, rather than risk accidental infection and a resurgence of the Nomad threat.

To any dissenters among us, Despite what rumors you may have heard, we Zoners are not the end all authority on Nomads and their technology. For most, if not all, of recent recorded history the Order has devoted itself to the protecting of mankind from further Nomad threat, and these directives reflect that. The least we can do is recognize the valuable assistance that these allies provide us with when facing such a deadly foe. At least in OSI's case, The Order holds a far greater understanding in Nomad affiars, whereas we would likely hold a greater knowledge of affairs concerning the rest of Sirius. No one can be an expert in everything.

The Order has been kind enough to allow small amounts of minor organisms to remain unregulated for Zoner research purposes, and have also been known to allow for greater flexibility with Zoners. All one needs to do is make the proper requests through the proper channels.

If you find that you wish to pursue research, and that said research requires more than the 10 lesser remains allowed under the Directive, then OSI strongly suggests opening a calm and reasonable dialogue with the Order Command. You will find them to be quite open and reasonable when approached as friends and not as enemies.
