Sisters of the abyss,
You know me well, and my dreams guided me to you. We crossed paths briefly in the void just the other night, passing ships in literal and figurative senses. I am on a mission, orders given by more than one commander. The consort you've taken, the scarlet one, I need information on her. From there, I'll need as much information as possible on the devices and artifacts in her possession. Anything that has been around the entity or been retrieved from the most anomalous sites known to light and dark needs to be cataloged and made safe. At the very least, we have to act to make sure whatever destructive potential lies in these objects doesn't fall into the wrong hands, be they malicious or foolish.
I know you're close. And I know what that feels like. I have no intent to bring harm, and neither do the parties involved. I want to work with you to ensure that outcome doesn't happen. And the best way to make that so is to assist me with intel and guidance.

Strider.
The light sparkles dim within you, 'sister'. I know who you are, I know what you are, but I can barely see or hear you. I shall not hide it from you but I have grown suspicious of the Technocracy you hail from. I can assure you and our dear 'mother' that the Crimson Princess is not to underestimate, yet, she would not lay hands on the Abyss. She is a child of Ageira experiments. One of many children they have experimented on to create a weapon against the Light. I do not wish to go into detail over the neural net and I do not feel comfortable to share too much intimate information about the one I hold close either. She should speak for herself on her own behalf. I hope you can see and respect my reasoning for this. I can assure you, dear sister, that she means no harm to the the Abyss. She knows that if she harms on of us or goes against us, she will lose me. And in all honesty, I am her everything, and so is she to me. She is indeed my Chosen Consort.
I do not remember if she has any greater artefacts in her possession. I will lean towards a no except for some ship weaponry she collected. I have the assumption she is tinkering on something in the background to keep her new home safe, Cologne, Saverne. I can't blame her if she is. But once again, nothing of this will harm the Abyss.
The journey we went on to retrieve one of these weapons was planned to be only us, herself, Civil Servant and lastly Revenant. We wanted to move quietly, low, unseen. However, we did not expect to have a massive signature with us that seemingly attracted the attention of our brethren. It is one of the reasons we did not take the Falkenhorst. I do not appreciate the blame my Chosen Consort took for the attack on us. I am unsure if they would have actually noticed us if it wasn't for the large cruiser-class vessel with us. But then again, the final destination of the journey stayed hidden even from the Crimson Princess until we actually arrived.
I shall not lie to you. Harbinger has revealed himself, seemingly being interested in her and the Platform for whatever reason. He is causing an uproar in Rheinland. He is very dangerous and he does not even care if we are of the Abyss. He is either playing with us, or he is simply not caring, knowing he is more powerful than anything else in Sirius.
If you wish to know more specifics, I would ask for a meeting. Away from prying eyes. Only you, me and my chosen one.
The Light of the Abyss shines bright, always. May it guide you.

Lucia,
I appreciate what you've given thus far. I'm amenable to meeting to discuss further, and possibly seeing the item in question for myself. I assume there's a way you've managed to safely enter these installations yourself that could aid me?

Strider.
Sadly we are unable to assist with Tennstedt. Me and Falke, we both avoid stepping on the station for several reasons. With the Banishers present, it is far too dangerous, not just for ourselves but for everyone close to us. The security is tight and understandably so with the increasing presence of our brethren's mindless drones and infiltrators. Whenever the Falkenhorst anchors at Tennstedt, we remain on the ship. We can't risk being revealed.
You probably have more luck asking CS. Apologies, 'sister'.
