It's definitely been a while. I couldn't find the right time or moment to have a proper conversation with you. It feels like we left things unresolved - or at least the old me did. I can't tell anymore.
What do you say? I heard Baden Baden is beautiful this time of the year. Or a distant Freeport could do just fine.
...that is, if you want to have a talk. Catch up.

I know that's you. I'm not sure why you're trying to hide your face from me, you already rejected me anyway.
I know you've been around the block for some time now. You fooled me with that sweet nervous act you used to soften everyone up. I'm not really sure what to expect from you now that you appear to be acting like an adult.
I'm sure you've a plethora of mysteries and stories to tell me, but things back home are in a very delicate state. I can't just go take a vacation for a few days on the prospect of you at least telling me something I want to hear.
I'll fly over now. This'll need to be quick, unless you give me a better reason to stay.
I have another task I need your help with, I fear my previous source is unable to complete the task - and completing it would certainly help with what we were talking about yesterday.
This task yields a lot of potential danger, I cannot task my personnel with it. If you're interested - you'll find out why.
Alright, I don't like re-assigning things - leaves lots of loose ends. But in this case the reward weighs relative to the risk.
But anyhow, this is simple and it is not at the same time. This will take several days if not several weeks to compile - but this is fine.
The Gallic Dreadnaught utilizes a forward-firing weapon called "Warwolf". This is obvious news to anyone who's lived in the past 30 years. The Gallic Navy had made no attempts to withhold the power it possesses.
I need scans, information, and schematics on the weapon's design - as well as its origins. Now, I don't know if you have contacts in Gallia or anywhere else that could take a peak at the weapon close-up. I recommend extending the branch among different people to avoid leaving a paper trail. Pay them, work for them, whatever the case might be - I will make it worth your while in return. If you're able to get me schematics or blueprints, I will be willing to pay upwards of 5,000,000 S.C.
The Unione Corse group called "Zurich Accord" was my previous goto. They've gone silent and I've since burned the paper trail on that end, so don't count on them to help you. Unless of course, they like you more than me.
If you're able to pull this off, I will strongly consider keeping you in the loop on further developments or projects I need your expertise with.

That's a tall order to give, you know. No, I don't have contacts in Gallia - which is both a good and bad thing. At the very least I can expect both the gauls and any unlawful entities to not be aware of who I am. 'Course...at the same time I'll have to improvise. A lot.
I'll check these "Zurich Accord" people. Try to be somewhat subtle about all of this. I'd like some background on these guys, though.

I don't have much to go off of other than that there are certainly multiple divisions under the "Unione Corse" banner. They work with the Corsairs here and there and seem to be at great odds with Rheinland's unlawful elements.
I am trying to work out cooperation with someone from the area, but important people from Gallia don't have the same habits as others. Most of them were either wiped out in the war or have no interest in visiting the rest of Sirius.
The Unione Corse are a difficult angle to start with it seems. I would maybe consider looking for a Gallic defector amongst the independent worlds. Thousands of Gallic troops who had a change of heart joined up with the Crayter Republic and the Bretonian Military.
I've also heard rumors that the Liberty Navy has their hands on a Gallic Dreadnought. If you still work for them, there might be someone willing to let you in on a few secrets for the right price.
Best of luck, don't do anything irrational - I'll be in touch.

Noted. I'll see what I can do with The Unione Corse. It's a much easier avenue than trying to convince the Navy to part with their knowledge on the "Warwolf".
There's hoping that my services can be useful even in Gallia.
