Intergalactic Summit

Many thanks, Herzog. Your discreet and disciplined methodology will be as welcome now as it has been in the past. Contact N'maro directly for registration of interest and further information.

On further review, this initiative is of interest to the PRIAN Science Division. PRIAN pilots will endeavor to collect information on advanced warp and wormhole technology as it develops, and share information to ensure the fullest understanding of this technology's development.

Further, PRIAN will be serving as an informal contact point for Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive agents in these operations. Please note that in no way is PRIAN formally representing Ishuk-Raata and cannot speak to Ishuk-Raata policy; this is merely an arrangement to centralize communication, intelligence and resources.

PRIAN has submitted for a Alkeruaku Foundation research grant, and the initial response has been positive. We will seek to establish a technology cache for use as our understanding of 'ghost site' development expands, and so will be paying the going rate of 500,000 ISK per unit of covert research tools to establish this cache. Any parties who acquire these tools and wish to sell them may contact me at their convenience, or alternatively contract these goods to me at the going rate anywhere in secure space. Technology acquisitions in unsecure space may be accepted, provided the cache is large enough to merit it.

Any State loyalists wishing to participate in this endeavor may contact me; PRIAN will naturally accept other research grants or in kind grants for an appropriate share of technological proceeds, and will operate with full regard to our fiduciary responsibility. Grantors may expect quarterly progress reports, statements of balance, and expectations on development of technology. In case that particular paths of research prove unfruitful, PRIAN will liquidate goods and pursue other viable research paths, or liquidate goods and return funds to grantors in the case that no viable research path presents itself.

N'maro Makari, please expect mail shortly.

If this is about what I think it is, I've already set all side-projects at the Mother Nest on hold for the foreseeable future. OTSI may be able to contribute.

We're saving that for now, rest assured all will become clear in the eventuality of time.

Out of curiosity, would that actually change anything at all in TS-F/SYNE engagements, or is this just more IGS piddle?

Bit premature there, Tiberious. I might help my neighbor deal with a vandal around the neigborhood, but that doesn't mean I appreciate him playing loud music after sociable hours.

The recent action by CONCORD against Serpentis/Cartel facilities is well known of.

Why, it's even mentioned in the opening post:
"Recent action against non-CONCORD signatory research facilities have allowed us to get a hold of sensitive material, which is currently being kept in a protected location, and will be part of an ongoing project."

Mhmm, sensitive material, kept protected, ongoing project.

And, the Cartel/Serpentis are not specifically excluded from participation in SYNE's thingumy.

The news indicated that during the CONCORD raid, the facilities were destroyed, but most of the research data and personnel, i.e. "Sensitive Material" was evacuated.


So then, from a certain point of view, this looks like SYNE is assisting the Cartel/Serpentis to complete the research into whatever the Serpentis/Cartel were researching.

Perhaps it is some kind of bid to make sure the Cartel/Serpentis stay ahead of their factional rivals, such as Nation or Guristas. And yes, also the Covenant.

So... Tiberious may very well be justified in thinking there is some SYNE/Cartel affiliation going on.

From a certain point of view.

Ms. Valete, some evacuation ships were destroyed and their cargo retrieved.

That said, while I can't speak on the actions or aims of other individual members of this program, I can say that PRIAN employees have raided three Serpentis research facilities in the last day alone. If the Synenose Accord is attempting to conduct research on behalf of the Cartel and the Serpentis, we're certainly not aware of it.

We've set up additional lines of communication, anyone wishing for access please mail me.
