"Comrades,

You may or may not remember me. Years ago, I provided the delivery of materials to Rostock Station, when Omicron Chi was accessible. I patiently awaited your need of my services again, yet the call never came. In the meantime, I found need of your services.

Our base, my home, Tarancon in Omicron Minor, is no more. The supposed "Defenders of Humanity" the Order and Core retreated their forces, and refused to hold back the onslaught of Aliens against us. We were forced to abandon it. As I watched the Defenders of Humanity refuse to defend the humanity in the space they claimed, it became clear to me that they are not heroes. They are tyrants. Warlords playing at empires, lying about their duties and taking advantage of the fear of the aliens, who made use of the hard work of the Junkers, and cast them aside.

I am not one in need of pity, however. My father was Coalition, I know that when tyrants strike the working man, the working man must strike back. To this end, I sought to rebuild my home. I found a fellow Junker selling the shattered hulk of a Hurricane salvaged from the carnage in Dublin. In as much silence and secrecy I could muster, I towed it to Omicron Minor, and used the hull of Tarancon Base to rebuild it. However, it was not nearly enough. Through the miraculous work of a rather jolly and notably overweight captain who passed by, the engine has been refit, and through the hard work of what little crew I have on my Salvager, we have sealed the hull and restored airlock. That is it. And that is not nearly enough to strike back against those who brought ruin to my home, or to defend my people against another tragedy.

The Energy Conduit System, Interior Halls and Spaces, Interior Armor and Superstructure, Reactor Core, and Weaponry are still damaged. Let alone the fact that I don't have nearly the necessary crew. I will not commit the overstep of asking for you to repair it or to staff it. I simply ask what I must give to obtain schematics for the Hurricane reactor core and the Tsar Forward Cannons. I will rebuild Tarancon with my own hands, and with the hands of good men and women who have experienced losses at the hands of the warlords in the Omicrons."

I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.
