That's at least some good news.

So here you are. 500.000.000 Credits.

About the information exchange. I am willing to share my collected data with you, however, I ask you to keep those data, if you don't know already what I know, as secret as possible. I trust the you and the IRG. In the wrong hands, those files could cause much trouble, both for humans and nomads. So, here, have a copy of the Apahanta's nomad database.

Aside from all this, there is something I need to inform you about, I guess. Maren and I just came back from a meeting with Battlegroup Auxesia in Inverness. We were on the Eidolon Wraith to confront Sapphire Raven and Joshua Hunt about them spreading rumors about me being potentially infected. So we were on their ship, they made some medical checks on us and again, boom, not infected. Surprise. However, those guys refused to fix my reputation with the entities they told about me. Instead, they are demanding to search the Apahanta.

Now, there isn't really a problem with that alone, yet I believe Battlegroup Auxesia is interested in getting their hands on my ship. There was this weird situation when I offered them, as a joke, to buy my ship for all the money I invested into it and Hunt said he would consider it, in a serious manner. Knowing that the Auxesian Liberty Dreadnought Arktos got severely damaged only one day before our meeting - I saw that happen, close to the shady side of Manhattan, where Auxesia and Hellfire fought Liberty - it makes me believe they are trying to get their hands on more warships.

I don't trust them, just like they don't trust 'outsiders', as Hunt called us. His attempt on forcing me to pick a side failed. I can tell you, that was one hell of a meeting. I really didn't think they would let us leave, especially not unharmed.

So, I will let them search the Apahanta. Simply because if not, it will be only a matter of time for them to do it behind my back. I would like to ask you to have someone to witness this. First of all, your teams have access to everything on the Apahanta anyway. Second of all, I doubt Auxesia will try something funny with Zoners onboard. They can't risk being at a bad reputation with the CoF.

It would really help me.
