To: Juliet-Delta-One-Niner From: Agent Kephra – The Order, Omicron Recon Subject: Kemwer Armaments Requisition – Clarification Required Status: Pending Confirmation
Juliet-Delta-One-Niner,
This is Agent Kephra, VEIL-7 division.
Your request has reached us, but I’d like to verify a few details before proceeding. We don’t usually fulfill Kemwer requisitions without first confirming the nature of the recipient’s affiliation and the intended end-use.
A few points I need cleared up:
– Who is this request made on behalf of?
– What’s the operational context behind the 50-unit request?
– Ithaca Base as an exchange point is... unusual. Is this a neutral drop or coordinated with a third party?
Once these details are cleared, and provided your clearance holds, we can confirm delivery logistics.
Looking forward to your response.
– Agent Kephra
The Order, Omicron Command

I am in command of certain joint operation between the Omegas systems.
For now I will not disclose any details, yet you will come to know it as, I hope, you enlighten us in details of your presence in said sector. But you can be sure, the covered state of your meeting points and, I suppose, yourself, will not be violated. And to that:
The question is not about trust, it's more of a double-check on anything that comes in the way of our work, regarding the Order as a whole. I hope you can understand that.
My propose is - for us to meet in your designated alternative location, the Charlie-Three quadrant of Ebersfelde cloud. From there, I can assure you, as we get to know about each other, you can count on any help needed in your field of duty that our group is able to provide. In terms of it going or not against our mission - I am sure, we will be able to find a work-around.
For your request, I must clarify that the needed cargo will not be on any of our ships. At least, for our first meeting. Then, as I have said, we will see, depending on the outcome of this arrangement.
I am waiting for you to confirm the most suitable date and time.

[:: Authorisation: Foxtrot-November-Victor-Sierra-Sierra ::] [:: Authortisation Accepted ::] Salutions Lieutenant Amhrad and Agent Kephra,
There has been some interference from hostile actors and we have had to rely on scripted messaging to minimise the risk of detection via comms traffic for a period. That time is over, and I appreciate the patience you've displayed. I understand and value your initial hesitancy.
I coordinate a cell of field agents working undercover across Sirius. The long and the short of our earlier requests is that we are short on kit that allows us to do our work effectively. The longer we do not have that kit, the harder it is to provide accurate intelligence back to Carthage and yourselves. If you need play the cautious game with it's provision, so be it. We shall make do.
I accept your proposal. Give me warning of when you plan to set out for the rendevous, and I shall be there.

Appreciate the clarity you've provided. The use of scripted messaging makes sense under the circumstances, and I won’t hold caution against you — we both operate in the kind of shadows where mistakes are expensive.
That being said, the concern still stands. You understand, as I do, that supply chains within the Order aren't something we open lightly, especially when working with cells operating under deep-cover protocols. Trust is currency, and you’ve started the right conversation.
Here’s how we proceed — share with me, even in broad strokes, where your cell operates and whether your chain still links back to Carthage directly. Doesn’t need to be detailed. Just enough to validate that we’re supporting the right hands.
Once that’s in place, the rendezvous can be arranged. Give me a 24-hour window, and I’ll coordinate logistics on my end. Discretion will be maintained as priority one.
I’ll await your confirmation. Stay safe out there — the void’s getting noisier by the day.

We are going to set out for an arranged location at Ebersfelde on 29/06/835. There will be three ships you should await, which transponders labeled as "Jester", "Hertoginne" and "Anya.Seer".
Your representative will hear a phrase: "It seems quite here" the answer we are expecting to hear is "Not on night shifts". That's so you and we can be sure that the right people are gathered there.
In case of possible witnesses entering the cloud, your representative should add: "But it will get noisy soon". Then he or she will silently proceed for a backup meeting point, location of which is your choice. Engaging said witnesses is appropriate only in case of their low numbers and open aggression.
Prepare your representative with the details of your operations in this sector, we will exchage this information on spot, as well as how we can help you out.
That is it from my part. If you are willing to add any details, I will be in touch.
[:: Transmission Received ::]
[:: Authorisation: Foxtrot-November-Victor-Sierra-Sierra ::] [:: Authortisation Accepted ::] Very well. I shall inform our representative appropriately.
Agent Kephra, are you able to join the 34th Hades pilots in the rendevous? You have valid questions. I would much prefer to answer them in person.
