The recent days have been quite colorful, to say the least.
But let me start with something less valuable - before i get to the main part.
Deadliness.
LN-Lawbringer Seemed to be quite a pathetic weenie, popped before it even realized it was shot. [1]
|>PRD<|-Fo.Hybrid. Those LSF departments pop one after another with immense speed. This one claims to be supplying Navy with new weapon developments. This did not help him to take up a worthy fight.
Today, at 17:43:47 SST, The Union have used a Nuclear EMP payload against Marshall. Prior to this event, as per request of Miss Linford, i have delivered certain goods directly to Marshall to construct extensive armor plating, which should have decreased the damage in case of actual Nuclear EMP strike.
That would be a major disappointment for old man Corin.
As a final accord - i have caught a small, nimble Apostatas fighter - in the essence, they are voluntarily exiles from Crete opposing the wealthy Elders who exploit and abuse their people. Not only that was an exciting matter that made me follow them, but also a thing i have discovered during our small conversation. It seems like Harmony is maintaining Artifact trade business and is keeping low profile about this.
I am still waiting for the evidence to be forwarded to me, but i will provide it as soon as it will be handed over to me.
I would also highly encourage one of the Professors to attend the contact with this group. Their opposition of the artifact trade and honest desire to lock it down would come in handy for us.

[21.09.2018 17:49:55] LH~Static: Wait, a Corsair?
[21.09.2018 17:50:03] UN|Empress.Leicht: "No. Marshall is heavily reinforced."
[21.09.2018 17:50:10] LH~Static: I don't recall the callsign.
[21.09.2018 17:50:17] LH~Static: Care to stop and have a talk?
[21.09.2018 17:50:22] UN|Empress.Leicht: "We doubt we have done more than incapacitate their armory and storage facillities.
[21.09.2018 17:50:35] ApS|Negocio-07: ?: Apologies
[21.09.2018 17:50:38] LH~Static: Very well.
[21.09.2018 17:50:45] LH~Static: Powering down weapons.
[21.09.2018 17:50:46] ApS|Negocio-07: ?: You seemed to be in an intercept course.
[21.09.2018 17:50:52] UN|Empress.Leicht: "However, their warfighting capacity is lost. They must rely on outside supply, till the damage is repaired, much as...
[21.09.2018 17:50:53] UN|Travis.Doyle[LWB]: "Oh, good. They probably hided in their ion storm bunkers then"
[21.09.2018 17:50:55] ApS|Negocio-07: ?: To whom to I owe the pleasure.
[21.09.2018 17:50:55] UN|Empress.Leicht: "Pacifica did."
[21.09.2018 17:50:59] ApS|Negocio-07: //*do
[21.09.2018 17:51:18] LH~Static: Miss Willing, of the Lane Hackers Inner Cicrle. And you are?...
[21.09.2018 17:51:33] ApS|Negocio-07: Valeria Santiago of the Apostatas
[21.09.2018 17:52:02] LH~Static: A pleasure to make your acquitance, even despite... i am honestly surprised to see a Corsair here.
[21.09.2018 17:52:06] ApS|Negocio-07: V: I must say, this is our first contact with your organisation mam.
[21.09.2018 17:52:26] LH~Static: Yet, The Apostatas... i don't recall such a 'cell', if you please - among the Cretans.
[21.09.2018 17:52:40] ApS|Negocio-07: V: I may be of corsair origin but I most certainly am not like by savage bretheren.
[21.09.2018 17:52:46] ApS|Negocio-07: //*my
[21.09.2018 17:52:59] LH~Static: So, what exactly are you that makes you outstanding from your bretheren?
[21.09.2018 17:53:20] ApS|Negocio-07: V: For one, we are speaking. The others would have opened fire long back
[21.09.2018 17:53:31] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We represent the will of the people of Crete.
[21.09.2018 17:54:02] ApS|Negocio-07: V: In essense, our becoming was long overdue. The people have suffered long enough.
[21.09.2018 17:54:16] LH~Static: So, you are, somehow - not with the rest of your Elders. Exiles?
[21.09.2018 17:55:01] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Exiled would imply, removal by force. We left on our own as our operations would naturally be detrimental to the current-
[21.09.2018 17:55:08] ApS|Negocio-07: V:-leadership.
[21.09.2018 17:55:19] ApS|Negocio-07: V: But yes, you could call us that.
[21.09.2018 17:55:54] LH~Static: Now that is quite a view. A group of Corsair opposing their very nature on their own accord.
[21.09.2018 17:56:08] LH~Static: I am mildly confused. And excited, in the meantime.
[21.09.2018 17:56:28] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Would you really call those accords though mam? Your ancestors were lucky to have reached this part of sirius.
[21.09.2018 17:57:38] ApS|Negocio-07: V: This place has the basic luxuries of life like food, clean water and a safe place to sleep at. Our people have had none-
[21.09.2018 17:57:43] ApS|Negocio-07: V:-For generations.
[21.09.2018 17:58:18] ApS|Negocio-07: V: A name solidified in stone as the largest group of organised pirates of Sirius.
[21.09.2018 17:58:39] LH~Static: How comes? I am not too familiar with Corsair history, but... you have landed on an actually habitable planet, aren't you?
[21.09.2018 17:59:02] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Correct, but habitable to a degree.
[21.09.2018 17:59:14] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We have little to no farmable land on Crete.
[21.09.2018 17:59:35] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Starvation is as common as radiation poisoning on Crete.
[21.09.2018 18:00:05] LH~Static: And no one ever tried to handle these issues through centuries? I mean... there are ways.
[21.09.2018 18:00:10] ApS|Negocio-07: V: It is a true monument to human survivability that us Cretans have lived this long mam.
[21.09.2018 18:00:33] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Yes, they resorted to theft, looting and murder.
[21.09.2018 18:00:58] LH~Static: So, basically, you took all the people who is tired of tyranny and awful life conditions to seek a better place under the suns-
[21.09.2018 18:01:05] LH~Static: -of Sirius?
[21.09.2018 18:01:34] ApS|Negocio-07: V: In essence, yes.
[21.09.2018 18:01:49] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The citizens of the Apostatas are, to say the least, safe.
[21.09.2018 18:02:22] LH~Static: And, let me give it a guess, the divide you're standing at the edge of was enforced by your approach?
[21.09.2018 18:02:23] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The volunteers from those citizens make up our ranks, our engineers, our scientists and other essentials for our rebellion
[21.09.2018 18:02:54] LH~Static: A rebellion. You seek to make Crete more of a... civilised place, i assume?
[21.09.2018 18:03:20] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We seek to give our people the future that was promised.
[21.09.2018 18:03:51] LH~Static: Believe it or not, but we are going after similiar goal here, in Liberty.
[21.09.2018 18:04:26] LH~Static: Even through we are working from the underworld and what we do is limiting the influence of corporate swines feasting on-
[21.09.2018 18:04:30] LH~Static: -common folk.
[21.09.2018 18:05:18] LH~Static: Their money and influence gave them power. A power to feel safe while making even more 'dirty' money.
[21.09.2018 18:05:22] ApS|Negocio-07: V: It is a true honour to meet one who shares our sentiments about human life.
[21.09.2018 18:05:45] LH~Static: We are those who make these weenies cry, and to not feel safe.
[21.09.2018 18:06:23] LH~Static: As i have mentioned - with such an approach we could work something out.
[21.09.2018 18:06:32] ApS|Negocio-07: V: You fight a war on the digital frontier mam?
[21.09.2018 18:06:50] ApS|Negocio-07: V: I have only heard rumours of this "Cyber" based attacks.
[21.09.2018 18:07:08] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Do correct me if I have made a mistake.
[21.09.2018 18:07:50] ApS|Negocio-07: V: You attack the few rich men who satiate their greed by exploiting the common poorer man.
[21.09.2018 18:08:09] LH~Static: Look at the vessel you see before you. The Vindicator. I will not be getting into details, but it is packed to the brim with EM
[21.09.2018 18:08:15] LH~Static: -warfare hardware.
[21.09.2018 18:08:40] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The elders of Crete prey on such common people on our home as well mam *sigh I lost....my family....to this.
[21.09.2018 18:09:16] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[21.09.2018 18:09:17] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Indeed, I must say the initial scans gave me a fright. Hence my running away earlier.
[21.09.2018 18:09:39] ApS|Negocio-07: V: From one engineer to another, that design is truly magnificant.
[21.09.2018 18:09:55] LH~Static: Understandable. However, we, Hackers, are no fools who shoot everything that's hostile to us.
[21.09.2018 18:10:32] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We bare no ill will to any who are not associated with the Brotherhood and Custtodi mam.
[21.09.2018 18:11:02] LH~Static: We are in no way associated with these entities.
[21.09.2018 18:11:24] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Those unioner bunch at Pacifica betrayed our leader Alexander Cordoba, one Mary Dross falsified evidence at the high court.
[21.09.2018 18:12:02] LH~Static: The Union have always been... questionable supporters.
[21.09.2018 18:12:07] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Our leader was a fearless man, an inspiration to us all and even when betrayed, he did not go down without a fight.
[21.09.2018 18:13:00] LH~Static: I see. A true leader, a pride for his people.
[21.09.2018 18:13:19] ApS|Negocio-07: V: A martyr as well mam.
[21.09.2018 18:13:37] LH~Static: We, Hackers, respect these traits.
[21.09.2018 18:13:48] ApS|Negocio-07: V: He landed on Crete for the Trial of the Apostatas. We haven't seen him since *frowns*
[21.09.2018 18:14:41] LH~Static: From what i heard - he was a man of a big spirit, and infinite bravery.
[21.09.2018 18:15:27] LH~Static: However, i heard you mentioning The Union falsified some evidence against him. It might be an unpleasant matter to discuss -
[21.09.2018 18:15:32] ApS|Negocio-07: V: That makes me a tad happy to hear. His bravery being known this far from home.
[21.09.2018 18:16:23] LH~Static: We, Hackers, tend to know things.
[21.09.2018 18:16:39] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: Pindl
[21.09.2018 18:17:01] LH~Static: However... speaking of those evidence falsification - could you, perhaps, tell me more? By no means i insist, but hearing the-
[21.09.2018 18:17:17] LH~Static: -whole story would come in handy for me, believe it or not.
[21.09.2018 18:17:50] LH~Static: Believe it or not, The Union dug themselves a grave in Bering.
[21.09.2018 18:18:29] LH~Static: And i personally want to hammer few nails into the lid of their coffin.
[21.09.2018 18:18:32] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Mam, I would gladly explain the details but I believe in the saying " The walls have ears". We are rather close to Pacifica.
[21.09.2018 18:19:00] ApS|Negocio-07: V: You know these systems better than me, perhaps a cloud could mask our transmissions.
[21.09.2018 18:19:13] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Even a radiation field could work.
[21.09.2018 18:19:14] LH~Static: I read no EM emissions in the area, most likely we're not observed.
[21.09.2018 18:19:23] LH~Static: But you are right, better safe than sorry.
[21.09.2018 18:19:51] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Permission to enter formation?
[21.09.2018 18:19:52] Death: Unterwerfung was put out of action by Alex.Williams (Wasp/Hornet).
[21.09.2018 18:20:13] LH~Static: Granted. Course to grid square 1A. This will take us far enough.
[21.09.2018 18:21:02] ApS|Negocio-07: V: High command has deployed a team of three ships to scan Bering for local Unioner activity and update our records mam.
[21.09.2018 18:21:26] LH~Static: The Union activity... then, you have missed a lot.
[21.09.2018 18:21:28] ApS|Negocio-07: V: I just want you to know as two of my bretheren might enter this system soon.
[21.09.2018 18:21:51] ApS|Negocio-07: V: What's been going on here? I'm picking up more wrecks here than usual.
[21.09.2018 18:21:51] LH~Static: Noted. You have my gratitude for your honesty.
[21.09.2018 18:22:25] LH~Static: The Union is in the state of war with local rogue Navy battlegroup.
[21.09.2018 18:23:04] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Ofcourse, we have nothing to hide from you.
[21.09.2018 18:23:28] LH~Static: And this is appreciated. This is what going to lead you to mutual trust.
[21.09.2018 18:23:30] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Powering down engines to mask ion signatures.
[21.09.2018 18:24:04] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Apologies for disrupting, you were saying mam.
[21.09.2018 18:24:45] LH~Static: Approximately fourty minutes ago, The Union have launched a Nuclear EMP payload on local Separatists installation.
[21.09.2018 18:25:19] LH~Static: This was a result of continuous armed conflict between the two groups, with Battlegroup Harmony on one side, and The Union-
[21.09.2018 18:25:21] LH~Static: -on the other.
[21.09.2018 18:25:54] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Mam, do you mean these ships with the H|- symbol?
[21.09.2018 18:26:06] LH~Static: That is correct.
[21.09.2018 18:26:27] ApS|Negocio-07: V: They feed off the Brotherhood Artifact trade. *ugh*
[21.09.2018 18:26:45] LH~Static: Oh?
[21.09.2018 18:27:04] LH~Static: My hearing did not just fail me, did it?
[21.09.2018 18:27:10] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We aim to remove this trade entirely. Those artefacts are highly unpredictable.
[21.09.2018 18:27:38] ApS|Negocio-07: V: You might as well sell an armed explosive to these so called collectors on Manhattan.
[21.09.2018 18:27:44] LH~Static: And this is another spot at which we are on a mutual ground here, in Liberty.
[21.09.2018 18:28:01] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Such devices are highly dangerous and as such, do not belong in the hands of the common man.
[21.09.2018 18:28:24] LH~Static: You don't need to tell us twice, we understand that as well as you do.
[21.09.2018 18:28:59] LH~Static: However, would you happen to have the proof of your claims of Harmony feeding off on the artifact trade with The Custodi-
[21.09.2018 18:29:04] LH~Static: -and The Brotherhood?
[21.09.2018 18:29:35] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Ah yes, for now all I have is word of mouth information from patrol group Azul mam.
[21.09.2018 18:29:43] LH~Static: I will be blunt here - such information would be of great interest to me.
[21.09.2018 18:29:57] ApS|Negocio-07: V: We can work torwards getting more evidence if you feel it will help your cause here.
[21.09.2018 18:30:33] LH~Static: This would be appreciated, but i would also like to see that report.
[21.09.2018 18:31:09] LH~Static: I sure will be open to turn in some financial assistance - or to open negotiation line with Professors.
[21.09.2018 18:31:22] LH~Static: I believe your and our leaders have something to discuss and clarify.
[21.09.2018 18:31:51] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The Apostatas are most open to this meeting mam. I will notify high command about your proposal here.
[21.09.2018 18:32:03] LH~Static: Very well.
[21.09.2018 18:32:33] ApS|Negocio-07: V: In the mean time, all patrol groups will be issued orders to capture photographs of these "Harmony" convoys.
[21.09.2018 18:32:57] LH~Static: Then - i will expect the requested information package in the near time, i assume?
[21.09.2018 18:33:07] LH~Static: The patrol report, to be precise.
[21.09.2018 18:33:41] LH~Static: And, senora. Do not mistake H|- and H)- marked vessels. These are different entities not affiliated with each other in any way.
[21.09.2018 18:33:44] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Affirmitive, we will notify you as soon as we have proper proof. Word of mouth is in my opinion, never enough.
[21.09.2018 18:34:17] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The tag however matched seeing your confirmation about their name.
[21.09.2018 18:34:23] LH~Static: It is, but if it is documented and includes at least black box recording - i would still like to take a look.
[21.09.2018 18:34:27] Death: Riptos was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[21.09.2018 18:34:32] LH~Static: Could you forward it to me anyway?
[21.09.2018 18:35:05] ApS|Negocio-07: V: The pilots involved in the patrol will be notified.
[21.09.2018 18:35:19] LH~Static: You have my gratitude, senora.
[21.09.2018 18:35:23] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Hopefully this was more than just a visual encounter mam.
[21.09.2018 18:35:47] LH~Static: I would as well assume it is time for us to part ways. I will be looking forward to our contact.
[21.09.2018 18:35:57] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Perhaps we could one day together end the artefact trade.
[21.09.2018 18:36:14] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Indeed, we both have reports to make I assume *smiles
[21.09.2018 18:36:17] LH~Static: Perhaps. And we would certainly be looking forward to that day.
[21.09.2018 18:36:34] LH~Static: This is correct. Paperwork is always relevant, senora.
[21.09.2018 18:36:41] ApS|Negocio-07: V: A true pleasure getting aquainted. I never got your name speaking of which.
[21.09.2018 18:36:53] LH~Static: Farewell. And i hope to hear from you soon.
[21.09.2018 18:37:03] LH~Static: Uh, is that so?
[21.09.2018 18:37:13] LH~Static: I believe i have introduced myself, but... oh well.
[21.09.2018 18:37:22] LH~Static: Felicity Willing is my name.
[21.09.2018 18:37:35] LH~Static: Once again - it is a pleasure to make your acquitance, senora.
[21.09.2018 18:37:38] ApS|Negocio-07: V: Noted. Safe flight mam.
[21.09.2018 18:37:48] LH~Static: Safe skies to you as well.
