"This is cpt. Elizabeth Tate, if my memory does not fool me, the satelite was installed for just that reason on advice of the order anyway. - any research that needs to be done involving this installation is of course free for you to use.

you will gain access to all our routine data and the logfiles we have on freeport 11.

however, i must remind you that the satelite is outside our neutral zone - and that our protection does not reach that far whatsoever. - although stationary defense installations had been installed in that area, they are not even strong enough to fight even minor threats. - this is due to the fact that those installations are old and were never really build to fight the heavy opponents we face today.

either way, when you re dedicating your work to this sensor array, you have to be extra careful. - we had to dispatch regular repair crews in the past cause this installation was not only taken down by nomad forces, but also by .... others, for whatever reasons. amonst those were wittnessed incidents where the guild once wanted to blind us while they were proceeding towards iota in a quickstrike and an incident when liberty forces disabled it once. - there are many powers out there that wish not to have a listening device operational - and those that work with it and guard it can become targets of those, too.

that such old stories should not discourage you. - but you must be aware that you get all the support we can give you on the station - but active defensive support can only be given within the neutral zone, as it is our believe that whatever happens outside our safety perimeter is not our business, unless it is made our business.

on another note. - the station has not been target of nomad expedition forces for a while. - when stationed purely defensivly, the keepers have very often stayed clear of the station. - we do not wish that state to change. - rumor tells us that the guild has high priority plans in delta and that there are things going on. - if they left freeport 11 for another operational base, - our station would indeed become a lot more secure but at the same time, the pressure onto the order would increase greatly as the hunters would not be bound to our laws anymore. - be aware of it that diplomatic and military changes might occur sometimes soon - from what we hear. - or in other words, be prepared for the worst and bring heavy protection.

of course, we would ask you to share your research with us - as much as you think benefits our cause and interests. we are aware of classified operations conducted by the order and would never dare to gain greater insight than the order command would grant us - but even trivial things can be of importance. most importantly - if ANY attack occurs on the sensor array, i d wish you to inform us in a detailed report of who and why. - omicron-delta turns more and more into a melting pot - and we have to stay on top of things.

i wish you success with your work on behalf of my crew. - station command might still have a word about it, but i am sure they will share our view. - the persephone will stand guard hidden all the time if you need heavy support - which thankfully haven t been necessary for over a year.

E.Tate out"
