I am Emily Furukawa, Chief Executive Officer of Ionic Incorporated. We have done business with the Guild previously, namely purchases of silver and cobalt from your Omegas operations. It's also the Omega region I'm writing to you about today, but for an entirely different reason.
There have been hyperspace fluctuations in the region leading to stabilization and destabilization of wormhole connections to previously unmapped space, that much is relatively widely known at least in the scientific community. But details from reliable sources on these uncharted spaces are hard to come by.
We have been working for around a year now on an exploration and research task force centered around a revolutionary prototype vessel, and I intend for the southern Omegas to be one of our first targets of operation to test the craft's capabilities, and to gather information on these interesting stellographic developments.
Essentially, I need local know-how. Your people know the region, and you are realistically the only contact we have in the area. I'd like to inquire if you would be willing to provide mapping data, coordinates, risk assessments, encounter logs, this type of information - or, if you're interested in more active cooperation, personnel for this scientific endeavor.

Greetings miss Emily Furukawa,
I am Albert Schulze one of the Guildmasters of the IMG.
The guild has been aware of those systems but we haven’t organized any large-scale surveying or prospecting of those locations in the Omegas. Some Guildmembers have ventured there and from what I have heard it is rather dangerous from those that inhabit the stretch to the space it self being unstable.
Some of my peers have been against organizing a expedition into the Omegas, but I am more willing to facilitate it. If Ionic is to send a sum of credits towards this expedition it would only be fair that you would see the data we will uncover with a detailed guide on the dangers and anomalies of the sector to the same standard any of our members would be able.
Good to hear from you. I wasn't expecting full intel, which I don't believe anyone is likely to have at this time. But you have infrastructure and experience in the region, which should give us a solid basis to work from. In that case, I'd like to suggest a joint expedition. You'll provide the base of operations and whatever womanpower you have available for a task like this - given the nature of your organization, volunteers I'd assume - we will join you with our expeditionary force, and both of us can enjoy the potential fruits we may pluck.
I'm willing to write you an effectively blank cheque for the endeavor; the board, our generous benefactors the Empire of Kusari, and myself personally as CEO are highly interested in the possible yields, and you can picture our financial commitment to its success as an open ledger.
It will yet require some preparation, but if you can accommodate us, we can prepare to move.

Miss Furukawa,
I assumed that your company would wait until the guild was to conduct the surveying expedition before sending the expensive and unique prototype ship into what is the most lethal systems in the sector. We plan to send out smaller independent groups before the main fleet is to head out. Their mission would be to scout out the anomalies and probe the surroundings with a focus on the local forces in the system. I will also need to arrange funds to send to the friendly locals aimed for elimination of any present Corsair force. Your group can join the latter expedition with the ship in question.
It should take me a month or less to facilitate the plan. Additionally, I would like some specifications of your ship. It would be to our benefit to know the class of the ship to arrange proper escorts.
In terms of deployment timetables, these are somewhat flexible because of the technical capabilities of the craft. As I'm sure you're aware, our parent company has pioneered hyperspace tunneling equipment, and the Infinity is not only equipped with this technology, but it is in fact a central component of its initiation testing. We intend to use this capability to bypass Bretonian jurisdiction to avoid any diplomatic hassles, moving directly from the Taus to the Omegas.
That is to say, we can move in and out of this deployment more or less at will, given points of service at least.
The Infinity is nominally classed as a cruiser. It's derived from a naval prototype design specification that Kishiro was involved in the production of, which I cannot give much details about for obvious reasons. That said, the Infinity itself is a very heavily adapted derivation we designed ourselves to suit our purposes. There's no standardized typesheet I can provide as it is very much one of a kind, but if you have a berth that can accommodate something shaped roughly like a Takeda-class destroyer, we will manage from there. The vessel is designed to work under adverse circumstances, after all.
On another note, my commandant Riko Ose has made contact with a 'Starlight Research Consortium'. Neighbors and friends of yours, as she tells me, and another organization that may be interested in expeditions like this. I have given her the go-ahead to contact them in this matter, if they're interested.

Miss Furukawa,
So, the Infinity is a prototype cruiser with one of those fancy jumpdrives? For a ship the Infinities size we have a capable dry dock in a system close to the known entrance called Madeira. It is more then capable of a simple berth and we are willing to allow you to rent one if you deem it necessary. Well, if I was you, I would avoid mentioning that fact to the more the locals of the Omegas. The lane hackers broadcast might give them some ideas...
But otherwise, they are ready to support our endeavor. One of those locals asked for you not to interact with their pilots during your stay to avoid problems. They aren’t big fans of corporations.
The Starlight Research Consortium has reached out to me and I have CC-ed them into this conversation on your recommendation they are welcome to join us on the voyage. They should be of great use with the more dangerous anomalies considering their experience.
Now for the more technical part of this project. I believe that it would be smart to set up a logistical hub. The Guild has a bustard that could fulfill that part so it shall not be an issue. So as soon as those funds arrive, I will begin drafting a detailed plan.
