PACKET TITLE: Request

- Broadcasting message - I... see. Your request must've gotten misconstrued up with R&D's desk. Which is why I got in touch with Salvage instead - it seems we already have a few of those shards. In... different states of repair and disrepair, mind you. As of right now, we have exactly three, all in pristine condition, thanks to our salvaging efforts down in the drydocks and in open space. Though, of course, we can run a second salvage operation, and find you more. Fifty whole constructs could net you a great deal of information, and likewise, a great deal of computational and power requirements. Naturally, we will not be responsible for any damage to your hardware or software in the event of a rogue AI disruption event. We are harvesting these components in their rawest forms, and we will not be altering them in any capacity, save for the initial scanning process we perform upon salvage recovery. I can start you off with an initial offer of each Artificial Intelligence Fragment going for 50,000, going by the MSRP. We can find you all fifty of them, if you need that many. I'm up for counter offers, let me know what you think.

Vanesca Catallia Location: '\S/'DCV-Argentum To: APM-AresTech Subject: AI Personality Core 50.000 per unit sounds reasonable. Depending on your time needed I will throw a bonus of 500.000 on top as a tip for your salvaging teams. Fret not, I am not thinking of any liability scenarios, I know what I am asking for. It would be nothing but an insult if I was to attempt a mindless act such as asking for APM or AresTech to be responsible for my own mishandling. That out of the way; I will be waiting to be informed about the cargo being ready. There is no need to consider logistics from your side of the deal. I will come personally to collect the goods. Wire me the wallet's address. I will pay 1.000.000 upfront, the remaining 1.500.000 - 2.000.000 will be send once the goods are handed over. Signing off~

PACKET TITLE: Request

- Broadcasting message - Starfliers. We've received this invoice order from Salvage. Which was sent to them from Sales, which was sent to them from Management. The same Management who had suffered a major server crash which made them lose hundreds of contact lines. I'm part of Security - we're working in tandem with Salvage to get our requests finished. Especially now. You can hopefully understand why processing this request has taken this long to fulfill. Your 50 Personality Fragments are now ready for delivery, or otherwise pickup.

PACKET TITLE: Request

- Broadcasting message - Don't fret. We can meet you wherever it is most comfortable and optimal for you. We have a whole logistics division dedicated for ferrying supplies and deliveries across Sirius. Where is your main base of operations? Perhaps a delivery can be arranged there, and we could discuss our payment and conclude this contract.

Runner "1204" Location: '\S/'CEV-Xihe - System Data Not Found Subject: Request Dear Benefactor~!, The main research point is found in Tau-23. But this will be forwarded to a mobile platform called "Argentum". If you wish to convey those parts on your own then I will let my supervisor know to open up the hangar for those. As a counter offer: This one is able to meet you almost anywhere. Safe Skies, Benefactor~

Vanesca Catallia Location: '\S/'DCV-Argentum To: APM-AresTech Subject: Samples This is to be forwarded to the Sales Department. We Starfliers thank AresTech for the service. The "Samples" have been received and payment has been transferred. Mister Murphy handled them with care and we mentioned another salvaging contract for AresTech to him. All in all it was our pleasure. We can establish a new line for the second contract or use this existing one. Signing off~
