Greetings from one research organization to another. My name is Dr. Leo Morningstar. Following SLRC's restructuring, I've been promoted to the Directorship.

Lucky me.

[A mirthful smile briefly crosses his facial features.]

I've been watching the news over the past few cycles and noted that the Core were bringing in many Relics to Liberty space for various projects. The amount moved was estimated to be quite impressive considering the distance traveled by your transport vessels, and we hope that you're willing to make another trip to the Taus to aid our projects.

We're currently in the process of expanding Ikarus Station beyond its current capabilities and are in need of Xeno Relics. We're aware of the location from which they are sourced, but considering our other ongoing projects and diminished footprint, we're unable to task a ship to ferry these Relics back and forth from the Omicrons. Traveling through Outcast space and risking having our limited fleet destroyed by pirates, dealing with the Savages in Gamma, or risking being apprehended by the Houses while traveling through their space without a license for carrying these items is too much of a risk at this juncture as we work through restructuring our operations and replenishing our manpower.

We're hoping that you're able to source us 2,500 Xeno Relics to Ikarus Station in Tau-23 near the anomaly in the system. We are willing to pay handsomely on top of what our Dockmaster has the price listed at in exchange for this service. We may need more in the future and hope that you are willing to aid us in this task as well. In addition to credits, we're willing to provide any services that SLRC might be able to undertake for you in exchange. Simply give us the details, and we can accomplish it as necessary.

Looking forward to hearing back.

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.

I suppose the Core is quite busy dealing with ongoing troubles in the Omicrons. Not to worry.

We're pivoting directions with this project and have decided to source the Xeno Relics from an alternative party. You can safely ignore this communication.
