I am Vulcan. I have been officially assigned as your Traxus liaison.
The Unified Earth Space Council shipping manifest you acquired indicates abundant resources remaining on Tau Ceti IV. As the UESC is our direct competitor, their interest in these resources is a threat to our bottom line.
Physical retaliation between corporate and government signatories is limited by the Corporate Nonviolence Treaty. However, you are a noncorporate asset. Engage UESC operatives and use force as you see fit.
UESC presence on Tau Ceti IV is detrimental to Traxus corporate KPIs. Eliminate UESC operatives to improve market conditions.

Corporate vultures, sending Runners to poke around in the colony's guts. The hell with command. Activate the DIESIS protocol, we can't let this stuff fall into the wrong hands.
Your recent combat data is provoking debate among our biotech analysts. The UESC is taking unprecedented measures to preserve colony relics of dubious value, rather than focusing on quantitative resource extraction.
Our financial models can't explain their interest in a handful of ex-colonists, but perhaps the UESC knows something we don't.
Our analysts require hand-sources material samples in order to determine their unique value.
Retrieve materials of interest to the UESC so that Traxus can evaluate their potential value.
The materials your recovered have inspired a pivot to our corporate objectives. The board has terminated the previous strategy team in favor of this new direction.
Traxus has a vested interest in obtaining more colony relics and in ensuring that the UESC does not. But the UESC will not stand aside without a persuasive reason to do so.
Violence is clearly your core competency. We invite you to view this assignment as a growth opportunity for further refining your specialization.
The UESC has been overstepping their bounds. Disrupt their operations through violent escalation across Tau Ceti IV.

The UESC is hiding a major discovery on Tau Ceti IV. Requisition colony relics from UESC-secured stockpiles.
Our corporate biotech analysts have reviewed your findings. Interestingly, they've identified a significant delta between the visible age of the samples and their spectral carbon dating results. In other words, the tests indicate the samples are older than they appear.
This discrepancy is unlikely to be an error originating from proprietary Traxus lab equipment. To confirm the results, our analysts require samples that have spent less aggregate time on the surface of Tau Ceti IV.
Hostile Runners will provide an efficient source for harvesting such materials.
Traxus requires material samples for further testing. Acquire these samples from rival Runners.
We received your material samples. Our analysts are greatly interested in the possibility of temporal distortion on Tau Ceti IV. Unfortunately specimen analysis remains inconclusive. More samples are needed.
We have identified Dire Marsh as a key area for the procurement of class C anomalous materials. Definition pending. As a privileged-level temporary asset, Traxus considers you capable of assignments with a high degree of ambiguity.
Please collect class C anomalous materials, definition pending, from Dire Marsh.
Materials gathered from Tau Ceti IV display unusual properties. Traxus requests you gather "anomalous" specimens for further study.
Begin recording. Time is 0500. I've reached the Anomaly site. Temporal abnormalities persist. Begin recording. Abort mission. 0500. Time is 0500. Restrict all contact with the Anomaly! I've reached the Anomaly site. I repeat, abort! Temporal abnormalities persist. Abort!
Your investigations have revealed groundbreaking temporal abberations linked to what the colonists refer to as "the Anomaly." Due to the significance of your findings, this contract has been upgraded to restriction level "umbra."
Normally, umbra contracts are outside the clearance level of a privileged asset. However, there is no qualified asset available for this contract. I am granting you a temporary authorization change. Please hold.
Authorization granted. Informants alerted Traxus to the presence of an elite UESC unit on Tau Ceti IV. Obtain this unit's data core.
A high-security UESC unit is carrying highly valuable information. Ensure you're adequately protected, destroy the unit, and download its classified data to further Traxus research.
We have received the UESC data core. Due to the sensitive nature of your findings, your contract has been flagged and is currently being reevaluated. Queue number 90892.
Please await further instruction as to your next assignment.
As a representative of Traxus, you are encouraged to regularly upgrade your equipment. Use your next run to improve your arsenal.
