[INDENT][INDENT][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell][color=silver]Hello, Commander. Welcome to the Harpocrates Initiative.

As you know, we have a delicate matter that has caused us some concern in recent weeks that we need handled efficiently and without our names all over it. The Exo-Geni Corporation does not want the Systems Alliance sanctioning our business nor do we want to escalate the situation. In our business, we are about doing things that sometimes puts us in contention with galactic policies and ordinances. We have to. How else will we catch up to the rest of the galaxy?

One of our facilities was hit and our property has been stolen from us. You and the rest of your team must see that it is not compromised and optimistically, returned to our hands. This includes important data. Your predecessors tracked down some information. The people behind this attack are batarian saboteurs. We do not know if they are affiliated with the Hegemony or not. We have, however, isolated their location to [url=https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Faringor]Faringor[/url]–a planet in the Hades Gamma Cluster. You and your operators will have to continue the trail from there.

Your cover is only tangentially related to our corporation. To allow us a room of deniability in any actions you may cause in official capacity you contacted us. Any laws you break we have not ordered you to do so, they have been on your own directive. As far as the company knows, you are one of many mercenary groups looking to get a big payday. If you get caught with your pants down know that the Exo-Geni disavows anything you did in our name and that we have no official connections.

Delete this message to protect our and your security. Good luck. [/color][/cell][/row][/table][/INDENT][COLOR=silver][sup][b][color=black]❯❯❯[/color] [u]Office of Robert Deeds, ExoGeni Corporation Building - Eden Prime[/u][/b][/sup][/COLOR]

[INDENT]“I hope they do better than the previous team.”

Robert Deeds’ voice filled his office as he looked outside of the window that overlooked the landscape of Eden Prime. In his left hand was a cup of coffee as his right buried itself in one of his pockets.

“Well, that’s why we put together a team of specialists. Sir.” a female voice utters in response, calm and respectful, “Don’t want to make the same mistakes.”

He nodded in agreement.

“Though,” she began, “Is there a reason you didn’t tell them that they are holding [i]more[/i] than our data hostage?”

“I deemed it best to tell them only the essential information.”

“Right.”

We’re in the shadow of Faringor.” The voice of the helmsman came to life, echoing over the bunks of the cramped living quarters they had been assigned, “Report to the Operations HQ. I’m sure Laine wants to give you the 411.”

[color=green]Avicia Sancrius[/color], [color=F9BCC5]Antelmo Águila-Paiva[/color], and [color=A670FF]Elerlia T'natis[/color] must have thought the Harpocrates gig could’ve fared better when it came to the sleep arrangements they had been given. 

At least, all of the ‘thrill’ of waiting for them to arrive at their target destination was over. Since being picked up by the ship on Korlus it had been a long warp from the Eagle Nebula Cluster to the Hades Gamma Cluster. But it is what it was. Now it was finally time to get down to business and that meant heading over to the operations room to get the final bits of information about the job and get geared up. [color=red]Laine Severn[/color] and [color=0987d6]Marivea Sannis[/color] were probably already there. Well, if they weren’t getting some sleep themselves in their personal quarters.

The two that ExoGeni thought had the ability to lead the rest of them to get results.[/INDENT]
