Re: The creation of the ASB (ADMIN Sightings Bureau)
Sirs, for years, furtive rumours have been heard of the existence of great, omnipotent space-faring beings dwelling in this area of the galaxy. For years, sightings of these creatures where few-and-far-between, and solid proof of the existence of these creatures has been difficult to come by.
However, I have scoured the records of factions friendly to the Jupiter Guild and have compiled incontrovertible evidence proving the existence of these creatures. I hereby refer you to some significant case-studies;
These are a few of the many, many stories that can be found across Sirius, from members of just about every faction and sect, both police and criminal alike, that suggest the malevolence of these entities.
Over the past 6 months, the behaviour of the creatures has altered, and reports have changed. Once frequent, no sightings of the "BULLDOGNK" have been made over the past 3 months, though Corsair children still fear the creature.
Sightings of the trickster; "The Hoodlum" have become less frequent, though occasionally, traders do still credit the creature for inexplicable malfunctions when they occur. Since the printing of my book, the LSF pilot mentioned is still on medication.
Those first to encounter a being are given the opportunity to give it a nickname, and reports from all over Sirius have reached me regarding supposed benevolent organisms. One, known by many names but most commonly "Caylith" is part of many myths across the sector, with some peoples even believing sightings of this creature bring good luck.
Reports received in recent weeks, perhaps even more shocking than those from the Corsairs concerning "BULLDOGNK" concern a being which has been dubbed "Korrd" by the Indipendant Miners Guild. Some pilots have claimed to have been contacted "telepathicly" by the being, and some even claim to have held conversations with the creature.
However, contradicting a number of other reports of actions by these creatures, those who claim to have spoken to "Korrd" claimed the being seemed both friendly and benevolent.
However, the time for quiet curiosity and acceptance of these creatures as a "mystery of the universe" is at an end.
Over the past week, I have received more reports about activity of these beings than I have done in the past 12 months investigating these phenomena.
Encounters with the entities are on the rise, and over the past week at least 4 previously un-encountered beings have been identified.
Due to reports of destruction following in the wake of these creatures, we must be mindful of the potential threat. As yet, no-one yet in Sirius has come forward with a weapon or technology that might be of use against these entities, and if they are hostile and choose to strike soon, we will be totally un-prepared.
The classification of this species, if it IS just one species, is currently not settled upon. However, I and my colleagues favour the identification acronym used by the LSF.
Due to the surge in activity observed, I, and my colleagues have chosen to create the "ADMINS Sightings Bureau" (ASB) to enable the keeping of a proper record of the entities' activity in our region of space, and in order to discern if they are a threat to us.
If our findings are that they ARE a danger to humanity, we will transmit our findings to all major forces in Sirius so that research can be conducted into a means of combating these organisms.
If possible, we would request that all those who encounter the Non-corporeal space-faring organisms report the events to the Bureau.
Enclosed with this transmission is a database containing sensor-codes and the "nickname" assoceated with each disturbance.
This should enable those who encounter these organisms to be able to identify them by their widely recognised "nicknames".
Thankyou for your time, and good luck to us all,
Aed Chase.

Firstly, my RP post above is not meant in any disrespect to present and former admins.
For a fair while now, when I've encountered an admin in-game, I've RPd with them in some way.
=LSF=Corbin has been known to go up to the "sensor disturbances", fly around them, shout that they can't be real, and then resolve to take more medication.
Carlos Benitez, in his wisdom, came to the conclusion that Admins must be some kind of previously un-discovered extra-dimensional and ethereal space faring organism, and has even held conversations with them before. (Korrd).
Devoted to RP, my characters find it difficult to ignore the admin presence, which is now growing thanks to the new batch (congratulations, sirs). This has lead to some interesting conversations with otherwise un-occupied admins, and some very fun RP. Hopefully, this can continue.
If an Admin pops up on your scanner, come on here and tell us about it! Have an RP theory about them? Tell us!
I should however stress that I do not advocate hassling otherwise busy admins, and that RP with them should only be attempted if they are not otherwise occupied with server business.

Sirs, for years, furtive rumours have been heard of the existence of great, omnipotent space-faring beings dwelling in this area of the galaxy. For years, sightings of these creatures where few-and-far-between, and solid proof of the existence of these creatures has been difficult to come by.
However, I have scoured the records of factions friendly to the Jupiter Guild and have compiled incontrovertible evidence proving the existence of these creatures. I hereby refer you to some significant case-studies;
Quote:Sourced from AEd Chase's book "ADMINS; Theory or Threat?"
In September of last year, a Corsair battlefleet clashed with forces belonging to the Outcast-sympathising Zoner Security force "AW". Logs from members of both fleets confirmed that they detected an unknown presence dubbed "BULLDOGNK" at the battlefield in Omicron Theta. These sensor readings where recorded in the logs of surviving ships belonging to both fleets, but dismissed as a "malfunction".
During the battle, an energy-pulse emanated from the location of the sensor-disturbance and seconds later a Corsair-controlled Osiris class warship (previously undamaged) exploded spontaniously, leading to the death of the 70 crewmen on-board.
In November last year, the "BULLDOGNK" presence struck again, this time during a battle involving Outcast, Corsair and alien forces in Omega-5.
The Corsair report I studied specifically stated that they found a sensor disturbance with the same characteristics as the previous "BULLDOGNK" presence found in Theta 2 months before. With the threat posed by the alien creatures, the Outcasts and Corsairs chose to focus their efforts on extinguishing that threat, momentarily putting their own differences aside.
The Corsair report, written by one of the survivers of the incident, reported that he suddenly felt "overwhelmed by an invisible force" and "unable to control his body". In a shocking turn of events, seemingly possessed by the force, the Outcasts and Corsairs turned on each-other and allowed the aliens to escape. Shortly after the Outcast ships had been eliminated, the sensor disturbance dissipated.
"BULLDOGNK", so well known and feared among the Corsairs, became part of Cretian' mythology as the "Harbinger of Nightmares" mentioned to children to explain bad dreams.
In December of last year, ships in the orbit of Planet Manhattan reported an unknown and invisible object on sensors, dubbed by the Captain of a Liberty Cruiser as "The Hoodlum Fellow" due to the mischief that his crew credited to the presence, which included engine and weapons malfunctions.
Unlike some previous sightings, "The Hoodlum Fellow" presence detected in December was not connected to the destruction of any ships.
Unbeknownst to the people of Liberty, the Liberty Security Force where issued orders to investigate this presence, but the operation was quickly called off when no findings where obtained. Some agents reported hallucinations after prolonged exposure to the "presence", and one LSF agent, according to my source "is still taking anti-hallucinogenic drugs".
These are a few of the many, many stories that can be found across Sirius, from members of just about every faction and sect, both police and criminal alike, that suggest the malevolence of these entities.
Over the past 6 months, the behaviour of the creatures has altered, and reports have changed. Once frequent, no sightings of the "BULLDOGNK" have been made over the past 3 months, though Corsair children still fear the creature.
