Greetings, my name is Sarah Zierra.

I have recently acquired on of your ships without permission. A Nyx, to be more precise. It seems that people are not very happy about it, so, I am now apologizing for causing any trouble.

Now, It seems that I am not allowed to fly it under civilian papers so I am requesting something from you. It seems we share a common enemy and for that I would like to fight by your side against those Outcast smugglers/slavers. I have decent piloting skills and I am good at gathering information.

If you don't want an outsider like me to join your ranks I would like to ask you to keep the ship. I can tell you how I got into Sarawak Station and "stole" the Nyx. It reveals many security issues with Sarawak.

Again, my sincere apologies for the situation.

S.

Greetings miss Zierra. I am Paul Atreides , Consul of the Republic.

I don't know who told you that we don't accept new recruits in our academy. The one that did that must be a traitor working for those Freedom Fighters.

The Republic gladly accept anyone in the Academy and in their nation , of course after a security check.
If you want to join our nation or the Fleet , you just have to fill some pages. Operation doesn't take long , maximum 10 minutes.

If you don't want to join the Fleet , you can request the Residency in the Republic. Safe place to stay , access to equipment.

Now if you refuse that opportunity as well , i am sure that the Armaments minister will allow you to use the nyx, of course , not against the Republic and our allies.

That would be all. If you have anything else to ask me about , please do so.

Greetings, Mr. Atreides.

Since you gave me the opportunity to keep flying the Nyx with my current papers, well, that's my choice. The Nyx will not be used to fight against you or your allies, so no need to worry.

One day I might even join your ranks, but for now, I would like to keep independent from any conflict.

Thank you for this opportunity.

S.
