To: ALL Zoners, notice.

[Omicron]

Scientist Asgaror - here I apologize for not being able to correctly transcribe your name.

My observation is only result of my lifetime experience spent among Zoners of border and edge worlds. This was by no means official Order's stance, unless said otherwise. I hope you will remember that unrestricted research is double edged sword and "autocratic" - as you describe - The Order imposes absolute minimum of restrictions comparing to houses or other Omicron dwelling organisations with exceptions of the Zoners.

If Order was not here to provide expertese and assume moral high ground on topic of Nomad tech, amoral Guild Core would have taken your research results by force, perhaps even enslave you. I understand your concerns that we might act arrogant in doing so and this system is not perfect - none is. Would there be a better solution, it would be taken into consideration.

For you to run totally free research institution, you would have to quit explored and inhabited parts of Sirius. Every system is claimed, everywhere there is certain faction whose influence sets their own order across the void of space. In harsh environment of Omicrons, death is given often - and hope it will be given justly. Elimination of one individual can save two more elsewhere. Whether you like it or not, this is ugly calculus of survival of humanity as a species and The Order takes this responsibility. This is how we avoided apocalypse during first Nomad War.

As of you, Mr Mow.

I would recommend creating your own annoucment channel. I would preffer to keep this comm free of messages that are not at least partially relevant to Nomad materials directive. Do not take it as offense, just a advise.

I am curious what do you need nomad remains for to secure yourselves from influence of Nomad mindshare. I am not a scientist but even I know your best bet in this subject is research on how human brain reacts to Nomads themselves.

Golanski out.
