To the IRG|

"Good afternoon, esteemed members of the Ingenuus Research... Whatever. You und Ich both know who Ich am, so zere ist little purpose in introducing myself. Likewise, Ich dislike formalities, so it vill be all business from here on out.

As we both know... Scratch zat, since Ich hope you don't know, the LSF has undertaken a project in recent years. It is currently moored in the REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER system, at REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER shipyard, in a state of vague disrepair. Ve'd like to remedy this situation, by any means necessary. Ich have been given carte blanche by the Government of Liberty to undertake this task, and Ich will do so to ze best of my abilities. Should you feel so compelled, ve would be greatly appreciative of your assistance. Should you decline... Vell, it is, how do you say, "no flesh off my back." If you are inclined, do continue reading."

CONTINUE MESSAGE, Y/N?

"Ve at the Security Force are well aware of your vessel, the Fentauri, and its unique power source. More importantly, ve are interested in procuring one of our own for our "pet project." Attached is an image of the vessel, currently in its berth at REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER."

OPEN ATTACHMENT, Y/N?



"As you can see, ze vessel is... Ich hesitate to use the word "complete." Not to downplay the abilities of LSF engineers, but zeir efforts have been lackluster at best. As it stands, ze "Agrippa" does little zat an "Archer" cannot already do well enough. Hardly more than the engines of an Interdictor attached to a lithe frame, ze Agrippa would be capable of nothing but fleeing from danger. Zis will not stand, not while Ich am the Director. Hence, why Ich come to you. Ze powerplant of your vessel intrigues me greatly, and with a few modifications, could serve ze Security Force vell.

Of course, Ich am well aware of your more neutral stance when it comes to politics in the Sirius sector, as well as your dislike of providing your technology to military entities. Zis does not concern me, and Ich am perfectly sure your group will be willing to cooperate with us, given ze correct compellance.

Ich eagerly await your response.

Hochachtungsvoll,"
Eva Adenauer, Executive Director, Liberty Security Force.

Good evening Director Adenauer -

It has been some time. Last we spoke, you were aboard the Freedom escorting us t' <REDACTED> for studies on <REDACTED> artifacts. I hope such studies we have conducted have proven beneficial t' you.

On t' business it seems. While our escorted path has had us fly by the construction site, we were never granted access nor knowledge of such. We appreciate entrusting us with classified information such as this. With that said, we are extremely interested in assisting in the LSF on this endeavor. While the core operating the Ingenuus is one of a kind, we have multiple prototype versions that we are currently working on t' hit production relatively soon. As such, we can design one specifically suited for such a vessel, as well as design the internal systems needed t' handle such a core, as well as ensure that all systems work at 100% efficiency and perform as desired.

Please let us know when you would like t' arrange a meeting at <REDACTED> research station, and escort towards the shipyard.

"Ich am overjoyed that you have agreed to assist us in our endeavors. Ich suppose you vill vish to visit ze shipyard itself. In order to do so, however, Ich vill require a roster of engineers, scientists, and the like. Anyone that vill be joining you during your extended stay aboard REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER Shipyard will need to be accounted for. Do please finish that up and transmit it, and Ich will organize a personal meeting between our parties.

Oh, and do try to keep ze number below... 45 individuals. REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER ist not a pleasure resort, and accommodations are Spartan to say the least. Bring your own rubber ducky.

Hochachtungsvoll,"
Eva Adenauer, Executive Director, Liberty Security Force.

Afternoon Director Adenauer -

Amongst my staff, those coming will be myself, Dr. Brandon Wright, Dr. Rachel Snow, Head Researcher Hans Von Geoben, and Dr. Samson being notable. All 5 make up the heads of our science and engineering labs. We will have as well about 20 researchers and scientists working under us, though accommodation will not be necessary, as their quarters are already aboard the Ingenuus. Total number will be 25 persons.

We are eager t' get started, and await location and time t' meet and receive escort t' the shipyard.

"Zis is acceptable. Ve vill rendezvous at Planet REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER at REDACTED BY AUTOMATIC SPEECH FILTER, TRANSMITTED IN SEPARATE MESSAGE hours. From zere ve vill escort you to your new home for ze coming months. Ze Force will provide for you wellbeing while you are with us.

Ich hope you can understand our reluctance to allow you to depart your new place of residence whilst ze project ist underway. Ich was not kidding with ze "rubber ducky" comment.

Hochachtungsvoll,"

Good day Director Adenauer -

We have received your encrypted message, and will meet you at <REDACTED> at <REDACTED>. Per your advice, we have brought supplies needed for initial work and study, as well as of course, Rubber Duckies.

COMM ID: Assistant Director Jeremy Darrow
TARGET ID: Ingenuus Research Group
SUBJECT: Clearance authorization
ENCRYPTION: High

This is assistant director Jeremy Darrow of the LSF Directorate.

Director Adenauer regrets that she is unable to reply to your message and apologizes for the delay. As such, she has tasked me to coordinate LSF and IRG discussions.

Due to circumstances that we are not at liberty to share, all research materials have been moved from REDACTED research facility, and moved to the REDACTED research facility in the REDACTED system. As such, this complicates matters, as the REDACTED system is closed off to all that are not part of the Liberty Navy or Liberty Security Force.

Now, we are prepared to escort a small team through the system to land at REDACTED research facility, but authorization will have to also be granted from the Liberty Navy High Command. I hereby authorize this transmission to be recorded and sent to the Liberty Navy High Command ONLY, for proof that the LSF grants access to our facility in the REDACTED system. The rest, Mr. McCool, is up to the Liberty Navy.

Should such authorization be granted, you will be restricted to our research facility and shipyard ONLY. Venturing outside of the designated areas aboard these stations, or outside of the stations themselves without escort by either the LSF or the Liberty navy will result in incarceration of all IRG personnel as well as the destruction of your vessel and all data gathered. Should any data be sent out of the system will also result in incarceration of all IRG personnel, and the IRG will no longer be allowed within Liberty Space.

I hope I have made myself clear in this, Mr. McCool. You are given a chance few are afforded. Do not make us regret extending this offer.

I await your response.

Afternoon Assistant Director Darrow -

Thank you for updating us, as we were wondering if the LSF had forgotten.

Regarding the moving of locations, not a problem. We will ensure that the coordinates changed, and will be ready once authorization has been granted. As such, we will provide the Liberty Navy a copy of this transmission, and should all go smoothly, will be ready t' proceed as soon as you are.

As for the restrictions, we will honor such, and will not deviate from the courses laid out for us, nor will we venture past the sections designated for us aboard your stations. You have my word.

Good afternoon Assistant Director Darrow -

We just received word that the Liberty Navy has authorized access, and as such we will be preparing a team shortly t' disembark.

Please let us know when and where you would like us t' meet an =LSF= escort, and we will begin.
