Greetings and salutations we are the Exploration and Research Corporation.
I am Miranda Gains and we offer our services to all those interested in deep space operations. As of now we have vessels traveling all throughout the borderworlds of Sirius.
Our goal is to explore further than anyone else has ever explored before. To accomplish this we will need more supporters and so we are available for hire. Our research team is some of the greatest scientists that Sirius has to offer. They work diligently to identify and experiment on all new discoveries. With this information we hope to gain new cures, vaccines and medications to allow everyone a life in a better world.
Right now a private contractor has allowed us to explore further than we ever had before.
If you wish to hire us please contact us privately on this net.
We thank our supporters and look forward to further expansion.. Thank you!

Greetings, miss Gains.
Deep space exploration is something the Independant Miners Guild is heavily involved in. We frequently send sorties to previously unexplored systems in order to prospect them for possible resource exploitation. While we prefer to do most of this ourselves, we're not above contracting out to contractors that are in the same hazardous business. For lets face it: Deep space exploration, once you leave the known network of jumpholes and gates, means you're literally on your own.
We'd like some more information on your operation. What specifically do you have at your disposal, what is your maximum operational range in lightyears, what are your rates? Basically, the details of what you are offering and capable of.
I look forward to hearing back from you, but until I know these details I cannot say if the Guild will decide to peruse your services.
Regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independant Miners Guild.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
Hello Johnathan Sander of the IMG R&D Division; It is a great pleasure to meet you sir.
To answer your questions we are involved in system mapping, wreck salvaging and uncharted system explorations.
As to our rate we do not have set rates as we work on charitable donations given to us by those wanting to help us in our work. We share our information with any of our supporters and the contributions range from one hundred million and up.
While originally our corporation was founded in Kusari, we have been able to transfer all of our facilities onto a custom liner. We maintain a small fleet of exploration vessels, such as the Auhodori Exploration ship.
Thankfully our brokered deals with our third party have allowed us to focus less energy on defending our operations.
Since we are no longer land based we now communicate directly with each other and report our findings by ship to ship communications.
Now if you would like more information or to perhaps talk more about being a sponsor please send us a communication to one of our vessels.
They are clearly identifiable by the E & R prefix.
Thank you for your inquiry and we look forward to hearing from you in space!
We are happy to announce several new discoveries have been made and believe to have found something of incredible importance. This one particular find is so amazing we think it could very well be the backbone for all of our future research.
As we are still unsure of this object's origins it seems to be a missing link with limitless possibilities. We are conducting experiments and research right now to help determine the object's full potential .
Once further research is done we will reveal our findings.
Thank you for watching and please stay tuned as we bring you further developments.

'Sequere Pecuniam'
Good evening, Miss Gains!
I am Captain Ian Throckmorton Searles, captain of the Independent Tradesman's Vessel Mary Celeste.
I frequently find myself in the Independent and Border Worlds, gazing out upon the boundless space that extends as far as my old eyes can see. Although I may appear old and decrepit, I've been known to have quite the adventurer's sreak in me in my younger years.
As a tradesman, I come to you offering the only thing I can: merchanting goods. I recognize that you have contractors willing to provide you with the supplies that you may need, but at any given time a trader belonging to a House shipper or another business could be occupied in port or moving cargo. That, miss Gains, is where my crew and I come into the equation. As an independent shipper, I am more than capable of moving supplies and personnel vital to your exploration efforts where they need to be, when they need to be there, as quickly and efficiently as possible, all for whatever price you may name.
If you wish to sign my crew and I to a contract, or pursue business with us, you may contact me over the Neural Net at any given time. I will do my best to answer at my earliest convenience.
With Warmest Regards,
Cpt. Ian Throckmorton Searles
ITV Mary Celeste
Greetings Captain Searles we thank you for your offer to ship goods to our deep space locations.
Right now our supplies seem to be in order and we are not in need of any deliveries as of yet. We do appreciate your offer and may take you up on it at a later date.
At current we are very busy with our current venture and must allocate a large portion of our resources to that research.
Therefore a future contract to work with you may still happen.
So we have your information and if your offer is still available later we may contract you for deliveries.
Thank you so much for contacting us and for your offer to help us.
Miranda Gains here on board the E&R liner.. we are reporting to you about an explosion occurring earlier today. We are unsure at this time how many are dead but we do know several crewmen and scientists were critically injured.
The fire has now been extinguished and we are recalling our ships to help us with further repairs. Damage to the liner extends to the outside and inside the ship the damage is clear.
The explosion which originated in the research compartment left several levels with fire damage.
What caused the explosion is still unknown but speculation points to a faulty fuel line being used in the lab.
We are assessing the damage now and once we know what all we need for sure we will be sending for resupplies. If your a transport captain and are willing to fly off the grid to our location please let us know.. we look forward to hearing from you.
If Captain Searles is reading this we may need your services after all.. please respond as soon as you get this. We urgently await your response.. thank you....
TO: Miranda Gains and the Exploration & Research Corporation FROM: Captain Ian Throckmorton Searles, ITV Mary Celeste RE: Your Request
'Sequere Pecuniam'
Miss Gains,
My crew and I recieved your message and are prepared to assist you as quickly as possible. We will hit the space lanes and begin procurement upon recieving the list of necessary supplies and the stated point of delivery.
If need be, I am also more than willing to finance a Repair Vessel that can accompany your little flotilla, to better prevent future events such as these.
I await your response eagerly.
With Warmest Regards,
Cpt. Ian Throckmorton Searles

For everyone receiving this we are in dire need of help. Its apparent that the object we found has brought about changes in several of us.
Most of us are dying by some sort of super fast moving cancer that develops under the skin.
It seems that.... well there is no other way to say this.. the flesh disintegrates and decomposes along with the internal organs.
With how horrible this is.. we are.... lucky to die..
There are others... at first seemingly immune to the effects and did not have the immediate decomposition. We know now they are not immune but they are just reacting differently.
They have been isolated and quarantined but still so many of us are left dying.
Please before its too late... we are transmitting our location now.
We need top medical scientists and additional crew to help treat the sick and injured.
Also we could use medical supplies.. specifically pharmaceuticals.
We could use a medical evacuation for those that are not yet infected.. Please someone help!
As soon as I saw this message I knew I had to help. I run a trade ship and cannot give you medical help, but I can take some of your crew to safety and bring pharmaceuticals. I am here to help you in anyway that you need.
