This is Grey, checking in.

To all my fellow colleagues—

I’ve hit a bit of a wall in my research due to a shortage of materials, so I’ve opened up a grant for anyone willing to take on a bit of risk.

Here’s what I need: at least 500 units of live alien organisms, in good condition, delivered to Ames Research Station. But there’s a twist, I’m looking for 500 units from each source you can find.

So far, I know these organisms can be found in the following systems:

• Omicron Beta
  
• Omicron Theta
  
• Omicron Zeta
  

If you happen to discover any new fields, please report them to the Pytheas Exploration Phalanx—your findings could be just what we need.

We’ll be paying 2,000,000 credits per successful delivery and 500.000 credits per new field discovery to the brave captains and their crews who get the job done.

Let me know if you’re up for the challenge.

Grey, out.
