Bonjour, monsieur Leon. I willl be taking over this communication on behalf of Gallic Security Bureau. As you probably guess - your previous intrusion into our space raised some security issues about your true intentions.

I will be asking you questions and your task will be to answer them to my satisfaction. Once we are done, monsieur, I will make a report to my superiors, who will be taking decisions about your request.

Before we will be moving further, you can answer these basic questions first:

• Which House do you belong to?
  
• Explain nature of your business.
  
• What ships and their configuration do you operate?
  
• Where are your business headquarters?
  
• Do you work for criminal organizations?
  
• Do you work for organizations that are at odds with Gallia?
  

I will be awaiting your reply, monsieur Leon.

. . Yes, the incident involving my vessel ending up inside your space was quite unfortunate. I apologize for myself and on behalf of Starfliers for setting off your House's border security for doing so. Thank you for sending a communication, though I have already sent my pilot Halpert out to Ill-de-France to have a chat with you, seems I'll have to call him back. I'm sure you'll understand, that some information we will not be divulging as we have standards of our own to uphold. With that in mind, I will answer any questions you may have for us, starting with the ones you sent in your previous comm. Which House do you belong to? Starfliers do not belong to any House. We are an independent group. Explain nature of your business. To put in a few words, we are contracted freelance explorers. We offer two services, map-data and rift-data. Map-Data includes charting a star system for a client who wishes to have more detailed information on that system. Rift-Data entails gaining jump co-ordinates for any jump-capable clients. Since we are explorers first and foremost, this kind of work takes us pretty much anywhere. We always fly unarmed, and can be contracted by anyone to perform these services. What ships and their configuration do you operate? We are completely transparent in terms of what vessels we operate. Currently, two are in service and a third is in talks of being acquired. Here are their info-cards. NX-01 Ship and Designation: Helm: Leon Science: Albert Hardware: Scotty Ship: "Bustard" Civilian Carrier Designation: '\S/'NX-01 ID: Freelancer IFF: Unaffiliated Weapons, Hardware & Cargo: Weapons: N/A Counter: Heavy Countermeasure Dropper Equipment: Jump Drive Series III Equipment: Hyperspace Matrix MK II Carrier: Docking Hangar x2 Scanner: Spyglass Network Scanner Shield: Battleship Molecular Shield Cargo: x700 H-Fuel or x700 Oil Silverstone Ship and Designation: Pilot: Halpert Ship: CTE 750AE Civilian Starflier Designation: '\S/'Silverstone ID: Freelancer IFF: Unaffiliated Weapons, Hardware & Cargo: Weapons: N/A Scanner: Spyglass Network Scanner Shield: SG-d2 "Advanced Protector" Engine: T-91-E "Takumina" Armour: Upgrade Class I Cargo: N/A Where are your business headquarters? Our base of operations, Starflier Base, is located within the Kepler System. This sector of space is wedged between Liberty and Kusari. Do you work for criminal organizations? Yes. Do you work for organizations that are at odds with Gallia? Most likely. If you have any other inquiries, please do send them over. . .

Bonjour, Monsieur Leon. You have replied to these questions to my satisfaction. Based on your replies, however, I will have to ask you another set of questions:

• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Maquis?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Brigands?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Outcasts?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Corsairs?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Junkers?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Gallic Royalists?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Bretonia authorities?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Liberty authorities?
  
• Have you been working, or do you plan to work, for the Kusari authorities?
  
• If you work for those aforementioned entities - how does your enterprise deal with such conflict of interests?
  

I am obliged to inform you, that positive answers to these questions will not lead to any legal charges against you - save the question regarding your permits - while lying to the Gallic Security Bureau can be, and usually is, considered as a criminal offense. I will be awaiting your reply, Monsieur Leon.

. . Thank you for your swift reply, suppose I will show you the same courtesy and give you a swift reply too. Last transmission I warned that some information I will not be sharing. A very big one for us is our contracted history. We do not share who we have done work for. Client confidentiality. For us, we'd like to take on each prospective client as if it's our first, and not take any clients based on our previous relationships and dealings. In short, I will not answer your first nine questions. If this solidifies your decision to reject my permit request - or worse - then so be it. We have accepted rejections for other reasons. I will however say, that our current clientele is a mixed group of lawful, neutral and unlawful parties. Make of that what you will. As for your last question, we try to remain neutral across all parties. We have been approached by, and have approached, many kinds of organisations. Some receptive to our services and others not. If something like you describe were to happen, I would surely pick the path of least resistance. Whatever direction that path takes me, I won't know until it happens. . .

Bonjour, Monsieur Leon. Merci for your timely answers, but your permit is not up to me to decide. Seeing as you are willing to work for any parties without considering their motives and goals - it brings me to a one final question:

• Are you willing to cooperate with non-human entities?
  

By non-humans I mean alien beings like nomads, or how you Sirians call them, and advanced sentient artificial intelligence. If you have anything to add for your request at hand - feel free to include that into your answer. I'll be making my own report from your answers and add this conversation as a reference.

I will be awaiting your reply, Monsieur Leon.

. . Are you willing to cooperate with non-human entities? I call them "Alien bastards". Leaving the NX-01 disabled in Omicron Zeta a couple of months ago left the impression that they don't like us very much and have very little to no indication of co-operating with us on anything. So, no. We will not do work for a hostile group as formidable as the Nomads. As for Sentient Artificial Intelligence, I have had extremely limited experience with them. Ultimately undecided if we will do work for them or not. I feel nothing more needs to be said, the ball is now in your court, Baron Mainfred Quentin Bourreau. . .

Bonjour, Monsieur Leon. Bon - I will consider this interview as concluded and make a report for my superiors. I must say that I was surprised by your openness despite direct questions I have been asking.

My work in here is done and now it will be up to the proper authorities to decide. Au revoir, Monsieur Leon.
