Operation ‘Crystal Cuckoo’
Cryptogram NN00-118945
From: Alexis Thorne, Ellydium CEO
To: Zane Maslow
Subject: Crystal Cuckoo
Dear Mr. Maslow!
The very fact that I'm personally sending this letter should point to the fact that the issue raised in it is of extreme importance. However, I have no reason and powers to stop you from transferring the contents of our conversation to UMC. Yes, I am well aware of who you're working for, and that your undercover agent acted within our corporation.
Our corporation and I personally thank you for the information about Dr. Nemezir. It was extremely helpful during the operation to arrest him. Unfortunately, his sabotage was much deeper than we could have suspected. And now we come to the unfortunate part of this message.
Eugene Kindley is dead.
The day before yesterday a device disguised as laboratory equipment exploded in one of our laboratories. Gas infected with Liu virus was sprayed into the ventilation system. We have taken all necessary measures to prevent its spread. Biomorph emergence at the station has been prevented. Technologies and methods of Mendes family have been extremely effective. However, during the initial period of panic Mr Kindley escaped. He snuck into the laboratory and used experimental equipment used for work with the signal to transfer his last message. I'm sure you never received it.
Eugene Kindley was found dead, with no signs of violence. His body was in the same laboratory near the equipment damaged beyond repair. Unfortunately, after spraying suppressive reagents we were not able to establish whether he was exposed to Liu virus infection.
Of course, I can not disclose the specifics of our equipment. But I can tell you one thing: I know that Agnes Smith is a real person. I know that he really loved her. Tell her, wherever she is, that she has to run. Run and never stop. And this is not a threat. This is a warning.
In any case, Ellydium expects continuation of mutually beneficial cooperation with you and UMC. I hope that this unfortunate incident did not affect it.
With respect and condolences,
Alexis Thorne, CEO Ellidium
Sincerely,
Star Conflict Team
