Incomming Transmission.
To: Dr Zakartist.
Destination: Planet Toledo, Omicron Minor.
I believe we talked on the private channel briefly about this subject, Doctor Zakartist.
Considering the size of vessel you would require for your research to continue, the Brotherhood would be able and willing to provide you with one of our M26 gunboats. As I assume it will be operating almost exclusively deep in hostile space, I assume that you will need the best armaments available. If anything we can supply will be of use to you, then please feel free to purchase it in addition to our gunboat.
With that, I hope your research continues as planned. Those Jellyfish are as much a problem for us as for you, and its incredibly difficult to hold a front which we did not open, as we cannot be proactive against our enemy there. If your research proceeds as planned, then the nomads will have lost at least some of their edge.
That said, I assume the conditions of this agreement have not changed. Once your research has finished, I would appreciate if the blueprints for each type of nomad weaponry you have classed be sent to our databanks on Crete, for reproduction. We already have similar arms in our armouries, but they are under heavy quarantine until further notice.
Assuming that your research does proceed unhindered, only the Brotherhood will have access to these safe versions of the nomad arms. We are well aware that even after your research is completed, the project will still be in its testing phase. A Brotherhood member will be warned every time he requisitions one, that it is potentially hazardous.
We are usually not the ones to stop technology from reaching our brothers, but I am concerned that the distribution of the arms may become too widespread if allowed free usage, and then there may be a fatal flaw, turning Corsair civilisation upside down.
But, that is too far into the future. For now, I wish you well on your endeavors in nomad space, Dr Zakartist. You will find the keys to your new M26 waiting when you reach our shipyards.
