Greetings, Colonials.
Doctor Wallace here, requesting the purchase and use of a "Thanatos" class Colonial Cruiser. Apologies for the lack of color quality, the transmitters on the Calibrator are fairly dated. Trying to get any sort of color would involve quite a bit of painstakingly long work for such a short message.
As my, or should I say our, knowledge via research expands, so do the needs for space, and as such, I have found the cargo bays on the Corvo research vessel rather unsettling;we have only managed to operate at a calculated 56.78 percent efficiency. I see that the specifications for the Thanatos lists it as having 300 more cargo space than the Corvo, allowing us to more effectively conduct research among the expansive cargo bay.
Unfortunately, as our research grows, so do the risks of obtaining materials to conduct said research. While extracting rock samples in Omicron Delta, I came under fire by multiple nomad contacts. Luckily, I was able to escape the gunship-level energy blasts that they fired at me.
Along with the risks of obtaining research materials, Sirius is a cold and unforgiving place. As such, the extended armor and weapons arrays will help me and my crew defend ourselves and our research from any aggressors.
I can arrange for my associate Ruby Leone to drop off materials via her Dromedary freighter at any arranged time. Of course, her craft will need the docking coordinates for Sabah, if necessary.
