To: ALL Zoners, notice.

[Omicron]

In conclusion with latest anti-smuggling operations conducted by Order forces in recent days, we have to issue repeated warning. As all of recently confiscated illegal materials come from Zoner hands, our command has deemed it is neccesary to re-transmit our directives to entirety of your society that will ever have contact with Nomad menace or what is left of them.

Nomad materials directive

1. All ships, which do not fly with correct Zoner or Order ID signals and are caught hauling nomad remains of any kind, will have their cargo confiscated.
   
2. Ships signaling the correct Zoner ID are allowed to transport small nomad remains to research, but not more then 10 units.
   
3. Transporting nomad remains of gunboat or even battleship size is off-limits to everyone outside the Order and will be confiscated if caught smuggling.
   
4. If said bigger remains are needed, the Order High Command has to be contacted first for approval.
   
5. Using weapons of nomad origin is off-limits to everyone outside the ranks of the Order. Should we find such a ship, the weapons will be confiscated on spot.
   
6. Any ship which is caught violating these regulations and disobeys our commands will be destroyed without mercy!

Transmission from the JIVA department to the Order Headquarter

The JIVA cooperation was founded years ago and is operating under the supervision of Corinth Research Authority. We are specialized in xenobiology and are indeed focussing on alien the unknown xeno-genom, which includes the nature of the so called Nomad biology and other alien biologies.

We must question your authority regarding this "law". The JIVA department has been capable and responsible in dealing with any xenocellular bodies and it is needless to say that we depend on alien speciment for our research.

We cannot accept your authority and your threat of murder unless this new law is ratified by all three major Zoner groups, the TAZ, the OSI and the Phoenix. Until those three have confirmed and accepted this demand we must consider any threat against our ships and couriers an act of violation that may threaten the relationship between the research staff of Corinth and the Order group.

We are not dealing in research that leads to weapons and have always taken the utmost precaution when it comes to safety when conducting our experiments, instead of some of your researchers who have turned alien technology into weapon technology.

sincerely CEO of the Xenoresearch group Corinth, Dr Ásgærðr Varðrdottir

postscript:

We also do not wish to ask the Order for approval of rights. That is not why we started our research in the edgeworlds to ask yet another authority for "approval".

Kallisti Order High Command,

As for our research we will continue to do so in developing our own technology, as other Zoner groups which you seem to turn a blind eye to..also do such research...no further discussion is required on this subject.

Remember your law isnt ours! We are Zoners, not subjects of a what-not Order Empire!

You may have the Phoenix in your pocket, but we wont be your puppets!

Kallisti JIVA brother!

This is actually a rather old law of the Order, and as their allies it is one we must respect. Speaking as Phoenix's trade Guru here, I guarantee you won't see our ships hauling any medium or large Nomad remains, weapons or any other Alien technology without consulting the Order first. I understand Admiral Golanski to be quite reasonable and permissive to us Zoners. If you need to acquire such specimens I would recommend that you contact him prior to collecting or you may find yourself of the wrong end of things if you catch my drift. I will reiterate, we stand behind this law 100% in the spirit of co-exsistance and co-operation with our Order allies and neighbors.

(Edit) You would do well to remember Tri-Udent that you are a Zoner, and you must adhere to the rules that the Official Zoner representatives create or laws from other groups that we share space with. You are in our pocket Sir, don't forget that.

Wait you are informing the Zoner Alliance that we are subject to yourselves, im sorry your sadly mistaken...(please check out your history before making anymore rash statements)

Incorrect we are not subject to your approval sir, i suggest you look at the fact we are not Phoenix, however if we were dealing with OSI or TAZ then we would take their advice....

Greetings,

Isn't it was discussed before somewhere?

Anyway - we stay loyal to our allies and understand true risks of smuggling such dangerous materials, Golanski.

But in same time, these so called "brains" are unique substance, which may bring the humanity to new horizons, and as I know some Zoner group and individuals doing research on them, as we do.

Thus, I think it'll be possible to give a permission for group or individual to arise amount of Nomad substance, by official request from the Order. Of course, the decision is depends on your trust to selected group or individual, but I think this mechanism should sift smugglers from real scientists.

This sounds more reasonable, however if this was regarding going through an Order system i would happily apply on the ZA's behalf. However given history i think we would be rejected from this Request out of hand.

I have seen a similar transmission some time before. You can find it here. So basically you know our response already, but a reminder is never bad. Now I am wondering why you only address it towards the Zoner society? There are even reports on my desk with Rheinland corporation ships which are spotted within the Omicrons. But due to your addressing it only to the Zoner society I wonder what exact major incident did occur. If you are so kind to explain that to me?

Also I am aware that the order’s main bloodline and alliance comes from the Zoners. So many pilots who are within your ranks are raised as Zoner, so I can imagine you want to seal of any possible infections. As it would indirectly causes problems for your own pilots in space. Do not forget Omicron 74 may be space claimed by Zoners, but in this aspect I suspect the researchers and scientists of as for example the JIVA corporation will not be disturbed while they are trying to gain knowledge about these beings. In which not only us, but also the Order might benefit of it.

As CEO of Omicron Supply Industries, I will once again affirm my companies cooperation with the aforementioned directives. It only makes sense in my eyes to defer to a group that has greater expertise in dealing with and securing Nomad materials, rather than risk accidental infection and a resurgence of the Nomad threat.

To any dissenters among us, Despite what rumors you may have heard, we Zoners are not the end all authority on Nomads and their technology. For most, if not all, of recent recorded history the Order has devoted itself to the protecting of mankind from further Nomad threat, and these directives reflect that. The least we can do is recognize the valuable assistance that these allies provide us with when facing such a deadly foe. At least in OSI's case, The Order holds a far greater understanding in Nomad affiars, whereas we would likely hold a greater knowledge of affairs concerning the rest of Sirius. No one can be an expert in everything.

The Order has been kind enough to allow small amounts of minor organisms to remain unregulated for Zoner research purposes, and have also been known to allow for greater flexibility with Zoners. All one needs to do is make the proper requests through the proper channels.

If you find that you wish to pursue research, and that said research requires more than the 10 lesser remains allowed under the Directive, then OSI strongly suggests opening a calm and reasonable dialogue with the Order Command. You will find them to be quite open and reasonable when approached as friends and not as enemies.

[JIVA]

"The three major Zoner groups have confirmed the law. Regrettably the JIVA corporation will not conduct their own xeno-biology expeditions anymore.

We will recall our active long range expedition craft momentarily with orders to space remaining alien biomass in nearby stellar bodies.

Effords will be rerouted to the study of alien space spores and micro-organisms instead.

sincerely CEO of the Xenoresearch group Corinth, Dr Ásgærðr Varðrdottir"
