Operation: "Azurblaue Flamme"
Core patrols discovered an ancient alien ruin within the Palau Ice Cloud, Omicron Delta. The area has been locked down by our allies, but we were able to obtain a permission to study the ruin. A reconnaissance drone gave us first insights into the internal structure of the object, revealing large amounts of what we believe it to be Azurite gas and also an intact defence system. Radiation made it difficult to collect more data.
Your mission is to secure us a constant supply of the Azurite gas.
What we are dealing with here is a complete different situation as in Rheinland. There is almost no infrastructure in the Omicrons... no lanes, no gates... and the next allied base - Yaren - is about 45-K away from your object.
Zoners usually stay among themselves, while there is plenty of criminal scum from all around Sirius, often just passing by. My experience is that the situation can change rapidly and become incalculable. Make sure you have a plan B ready. The Order, as I know them, will likely try to throw sand in your eyes once they have noticed your presence. And the Nomads are probably awaiting you already. Expect the worst. Also make sure your cargo does not fall into the wrong hands. An armed escort is therefore essential for this expedition.
Provide the extraction team enough time to collect Azurite gas from inside the Nomad structure. Once you have obtained enough gas, deliver it to the Westerwald facility in Frankfurt. We are able to send reinforcement from Rho, in case if your convoy is under attack. Report back when the package has reached its destination.
We have only little information on what is going on inside the alien ruin. So be carefull and keep your eyes open. Else you end up as fish food.
Before you throw yourself headlong into a disaster, it is important to know with what you're dealing with. Keep the gas within the containers provided for this purpose; do not open a single container; keep the Azurite away from fire; do not inhale it; release it into space if you have to. You should be safe as long as you follow my advice.
Azurite is a key component in many of my brilliant inventions, but i don't want to bother you with any details. Just bring me the gas. I will see what i can do to increase the efficiency of the gas collectors on your ship. Some modifications are definitely necessary. In the meantime however, you have to get along with the current modulation. Again... make no experiments with the gas, alright? We will await your first delivery at "Schatten".
Hopp Hopp!

Additional notes: Conducted a major approach to Omicron Delta with captain of Devanpelt gunboat and B-22. Inside the plant, the required gas was extracted. Then left the system without any problems. After I delivered the gas, near the station the captain of the gunboat handed me his cargo.
