Considering our operational layers often times overlap, it was suggested by SLRC staff to initiate a transmission link between us in the interests of cohabitation of Tau-23 and our regular interfacing together on various projects. This link will remain up so long as we work together on various tasks.

With that out of the way, I wanted to reach out to see about possibly gaining some help in restoring the Dreamscape. It was recovered from Earhart some months back and barely made it home to Tau-23. After it arrived at Ikarus, its reactor finally gave out and died. The ship is now being held in place by Ikarus's onboard docking computer by utilizing the station's tractor beam (which is why, if you have docked lately, you may have noticed you had to do so manually).

We've already had some bites from Junkers and other groups wanting to salvage the old girl. To prevent the Buzzards from picking pieces off her corpse--not to mention restoring a ship from our golden age--we want to get it back up and running. However, we're unable to do much with our limited personnel after the unfortunate disappearance of much of our people months back from the unknown incident that the Pathfinder Dante Flintlocke discovered. This has led the Carrier to sit and rot away in space. The way I see it, our best-case scenario is to reach out to the local IMG and see if we can use their shipyards in Tau-44. However, before any of that, we would need to see about restoring limited power and shoring up the superstructure enough to be able to make the trek to Singapore.

I know you are explorers by trade and I doubt you have any real ability to speed up our progress much, if at all. Truthfully, I'd like to get the ship to Livadia, but with the distance involved and the number of jumps required, I don't think she would make it much past Tau-37...not to mention flying a ship of this class through Omicron Alpha, even if nearly derelict, would no doubt agitate our Outcast neighbors beyond the Taus--and I don't think any of us want that.

Let me know what you all are able to provide assistance with. Much of the technology onboard has been destroyed or is hanging on by a thread. Any of the Zoner tech which is considered protected by our people has long since been stripped from the hull. In truth, the Dreamscape is more a "Ship of Theseus" at this point, with all of the tech removed or added over the previous years.

We await your reply, and we look forward to future dialogues over the coming months. May our cooperative spirit continue to endure for years to come.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
Roleplay is dead. Long live Powertraders and PvP I guess.
