Internal communications throughout the Cross are routed through this channel. All comms are monitored by officials of the Inquisitor's Guild.

In accordance with Δ-73, a new reward system is now in effect for all pilots flying the Cross Identification.

The Rewards are as follows:

Quote://
Blue messages with your name attached
:: 6 mil
Hostile docking messages
:: 3 mil
Quality RP (as judged by leadership)
:: 10 mil
Successful Piracy
:: 3 mil
//

Further modifiers

Quote://
Official tagged hostile faction
:: add 3 mil
Capital Armor Upgrade (CAP6+) on destroyed/pirated/docked vessel
:: add 3 mil
Quality RP (determined by command) prior to engagement
:: add 5 mil
//

// All claims are required to have a valid ID scan with a timestamp. In the case of piracy, the more screenshots the better.
Command reserves the right to deny payment to anyone under the suspicion of foul play or attempting to cheat the system.
Prior RP of Cross-quality is required prior to an engagement, and can earn individuals of higher caliber RP extra credits not otherwise available through the board. Full amounts owed need to be at the end of your post. Do not attempt to cheat the system here either. We will be checking using the almighty power of maths

This system is entirely experimental, and may go down at any time due to lack of funding, or other prior reasons.

Furthermore, all new members may request a transport vessel for themselves that will enable them to earn credits on their own power. All that needs be done for this is to make mention of requesting a separate assignment in some way inRP in a MD post.

Finally, bounties on system scans and other intelligence-gathering jobs is a second system that will work in conjunction with the reward system will be posted soon, likely for on a separate post.

Hola Command

As expected, the El.Camino, like the Syracuse has the wear-and-tear of a century old ship.. So after a few days at Valetta for some touch-up repairs to the plating, she was moved to Cali, for the final stages.

While the repairs were being finished, I took my Bayonet down into house space, breifly passing some Junkers Congress along the way. This path eventually led me into Leeds, where I encountered a good number of Commonwealth vessels on their way to Baffin. I assumed the guise of an escort pilot and gathered what information I could on their vessels. The only thing of note, however is their lack of armament.. It dosent matter what part of space you're in... at least one gun is advised, yet the group forgoes this almost entirely, presumably as a more diplomatic move, but I still fail to see the benefit... Then again, this is coming from the one who sleeps with at least two Archon blasters within arms reach... but I digress.

After a time with the group, I receive the message from Cali that I've been waiting for since we found the El.Camino; "The El.Camino has finished her repairs, and is now ready for service." I immediately broke off and made my way for Cali.

One short landing-sequence later, and after grabbing my gear out of my room on Cali, the El.Camino detached from Cali's docking arm, ready for her first mission in over 100 years.

While I'm never against the use of a show of force, I decided against my first idea ( a test of Java's defense capabilities) in favor of one that would likely be of more use. The Commonwealth were heading for what they referred to as a "Zoner Conference" ( a phrase that struck me as odd, given the designation of their gunboat-class craft) in Baffin.

Two jumps later, and we had somehow beaten the Commonwealth flotilla to the Orbital Skyhook. I exchanged some brief comms chatter a number of the many vessels surrounding the base, as well as some of the control-tower's crew before a number of Colonial vessels arrived.. thankfully waved off and distracted by the arrival of the Commonwealth flotilla, whom we then escorted to the Skyhook's defense perimeter.

We approached cautiously, and amidst the massive charade of vessels, were two familiar forms... one, being that of the Ingenuus, and the other, another Persephone, bearing the TAZ designation. (This may not be of relevance.. but I swear I could faintly hear the Song of the Spirits aboard the two vessels..) We briefly exchanged words, and asked for access to one of the few free docking locations to moor.

The fleet of vessels parked outside of Shasta.

While we did just finish repairs, we weren't entirely fully stocked for supplies and Cali didn't have an abundance for us to take with us, so, I am here presently at the terminal, waiting for my requisition orders for food and water to be filled... they're blocking access to the rest of the station so we can't find out about this "conference."

In conclusion, I advise further contact with the following:

TAZ: These Temporary Autonomous Zoners seem to present an interesting opportunity for us.. I advise further cooperation, even if they do not follow the Truth of the Spirits... I will continue to keep an eye on them in the coming months.
Commonwealth: Furthermore, the Commonwealth could be used as a possible platform for smuggling Cardamine into Gallia... I have a few contacts in the house that could likely find dealers on many of their planets and stations, and I imagine Olmos does as well. We shall have to see.

With regards,

--Inquisitor Erika Espinosa

Inquisitor Espinosa reporting in,

Hola command.

Our recent incursions into TAZ space and beyond into Liberty territories has been... well interesting to put it simply.

Never in my younger years would I have imagined waking up on Shasta, flying and fighting through Liberty space, and sleeping that night amongst the Junkers in a hidden sanctuary in the Kansas system.

Regardless, the Invencible has recently arrived at Junker's Grand Market, and we've been working on patching a few parts of the hull that were burned away by radiation. The Liner has been spending a little too much time in close orbit of stars to avoid detection so... we had the Junkers aboard the Grand Market take a look at it.

I grabbed a number of my own personal effects off the Invencible and headed back towards the fighter bays in preparation for the Crimson Council meeting a few days ago where I spoke of the situation in Baffin.

Today, I was preparing to make my return trip to the Invencible in Kansas when I heard news of incoming vessels bound for Valetta. Launching from the station, I was graced with the sight of several Salvaging vessels approaching the station bearing loads of the scrap materials the Junkers had gathered in Texas. A brief exchange with the Junker's captains and I joined the convoy on their return trip.

The flight was un-eventful, sad to say, although the Junkers seem quite more adept than we suspected at avoiding Libertonian and Colonial patrols... our product is safe in their hands if they always fly like this.

Regardless, we took a bit of a detour, but arrived at Puerto Rico unscathed once we got the automated defense systems sorted. The Crimson Council will be pleased to hear that the Congress made good on their word to allow us access to Puerto Rico, as well as docking rights to their defense platforms. Over the past hour, I've done a brief survey of the system, defense capibilities and all.. the associated images with said survey will be attached at the end of this report.

Now.. I've been told there's a place I can rest aboard La Fortazela.. It's been a long day, so that's where I'm bound for. Tomorrow, I'll poke around a little bit more, get to know some of the locals and take a look at their Cardamine storage areas. Until then, I'm gonna' to get some sleep.

Espinosa out.

Hola fellow Crimson Cross Command,

Interesting day, I must say. While being in Liberty, I decided to take a look at the Bering system, a system that is the left overs of the Liberty and Rheinland war. While being there, I found nothing interesting, and decided to head back to base.

On my way back, I saw a black dot from not too far away, being me, I went to it, disregarding it can be a hostile. When I arrived, it was...well..something of a warship class vessel. I scanned for any life forms, and found none. Whoever was on it must of abandoned it. The ship was a nice sight, nothing I have seen before. After a few minutes of looking around it, I tried seeing what was wrong with it. The ship was a little close to the star, but why would that make the crew of the ship disappear. After being there for a few more minutes, I found that the ship was slowly moving towards the star. I have caught some guncam shots of it.

The vessel is still there, and seeing as it was pretty far from anyone who would see it, should we bother doing something about it?

Greetings from Beaumont,

I am pleased to announce that the la.Naranja has successfully transferred 4235 units of cardamine to Beaumont Station. Aside from a few navigational errors, the trip was uneventful. Here’s to profits and future recruits for our cause.
Here's the proof.
Another run

Hola member of the Crimson Cross Command,
With the repair of my old Bullmastiff Transport, the Frappuccino, complete I decided it was about time I get back out in space. After I put it through a few successful test flights within Maltese space, I set out with a load of cardamine to the Junker Congress station La Fortaleza. The flight went smoothly and despite a Colonial ship attempting to catch me in Coronado, there were no major complications. The Junkers at the station were friendly enough and were more than willing to buy the cardamine I was hauling. I purchased some of their premium scrap and brought it back with me to help with the effort of strengthening the Crimson Fleet.

Hola members of the Crimson Cross Command,
I had the pleasure of meeting one of the spirits out in space during a patrol with the Furtiva. We greeted it and asked it if we could be of any assistance but it did not seem to require it.

From what I could understand from the visions it sent us it was on a mission for knowledge and it has been observing various ships throughout Sirius. It also seems like it might have been the one of the two spirits me and Cardinal Marcus Rhade observed several days ago being bothered by the OSI-Sea.Shadow which we dealt with. I am attaching a copy of my transmissions to the spirit.

Code:
[06.11.2014 20:50:11] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ bare (warmth) towards, 'yours' orange-breathern.***

[06.11.2014 20:50:45] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Hola spirit.

[06.11.2014 20:51:56] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: and what burden is this?

[06.11.2014 20:53:09] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: That doesn't sound pleasant.

[06.11.2014 20:53:37] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ fine 'yours' similar to 'our' sense.***

[06.11.2014 20:57:21] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ have crossed -with- ~yours~ before(warmth). 'ours' were in 

company with greater /spirit/***

[06.11.2014 20:57:24] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Oh have you seen one of us before?

[06.11.2014 20:58:08] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~Ours~ encounter, orange-breathern within 'ours' white void.***

[06.11.2014 20:58:10] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: I crossed paths with two of the spirits a few days ago.

[06.11.2014 20:58:18] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Was one of them you?

[06.11.2014 20:58:39] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***(warmth)***

[06.11.2014 20:59:39] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Well, I am always happy to see one of the spirits.

[06.11.2014 20:59:56] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: So am I

[06.11.2014 21:00:14] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ -realish- new encounter with orange-breathern.***

[06.11.2014 21:02:44] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Is there anything we can do to help the spirits?

[06.11.2014 21:02:58] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~yours~ contain a (desired) purpose, within the present(?)***

[06.11.2014 21:03:18] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: *** 'ours' seek to observe ***

[06.11.2014 21:03:36] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: Currently, we are not busy

[06.11.2014 21:04:37] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: What are you trying to observe?

[06.11.2014 21:05:30] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: *** ~ours~ sough to -observe- dark-husks, to gain knowledge(warmth) ***

[06.11.2014 21:06:43] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Have you been successful in your search?

[06.11.2014 21:08:26] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***{Visions came to the both of them, in these visions were the images of 

vessels it had followed and interacted with,

[06.11.2014 21:09:24] |+|-Furtiva: How interesting... quite a varried array of ships

[06.11.2014 21:09:33] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: one of them being the OSI-Sea.shadow in which two |+| vessels were 

present, a Fighter and a Transport, along with a Irra

[06.11.2014 21:10:51] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ observation vary with its closing. {A small number of ships had 

been destroyed from the images}***

[06.11.2014 21:11:13] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Yeah I remember that me and Marcus saw a ship with the spirits, we 

assumed they were disturbing you.  Most people don't respect

[06.11.2014 21:11:15] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~theirs~ failed to -heed- 'ours' wishes(sadness.)***

[06.11.2014 21:11:17] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: the spirits

[06.11.2014 21:11:54] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ ceased its -traisition- through the void***

[06.11.2014 21:13:27] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: Most people fear our hate the spirits...  It is quited sad.

[06.11.2014 21:13:52] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: Indeed.

[06.11.2014 21:13:57] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~ours~ within accordance with 'yours'.***

[06.11.2014 21:15:07] K'Hara|Zul`Tharus: ***~theris~ spark 'ours'(anger) with 'theirs' intent to endure

[06.11.2014 21:15:19] |+|-Sabina.Venneri.: One day hopefully we can teach everyone their mistakes.

[06.11.2014 21:16:57] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: Indeed... Hopefully we can make some progress with the LWB and gain 

another ally.

[06.11.2014 21:19:03] |+|-Furtiva: Kenneth: We wish the spirit well in its journey.

Hola member of the Crimson Cross Command,
I have made several cardamine runs to the Junker station La Fortaleza recently on the Frappuccino. While docked there I have been given a chance to chat with some of the Junkers at the Drunken Junker bar. I won't bore you with any of the... details of most of my time there but I did come across a bit of knowledge that might be of some use to the Crimson Cross.

One of the junkers I talked to there mentioned that aside from La Fortaleza there was another station in Inverness called The Junkyard that we could sell cardamine and buy premium scrap to help with ship production of Crimson Cross ships. I took it upon myself to go check this station out and found that it was indeed another possible location for us to supply with cardamine. While it is not quite as profitable as La Fortaleza, it is not as long of a flight.

Hola members of the Crimson Cross Command,

I flew a cutlass bomber under the command of Inquisitor Erika Espinosa along with Teniente Zoe Victoria to assist the Bretonia Forces combat a Gual force in Edinburgh. The Bretonian capships outnumbered the Gauls so the Valors in the fight fell quickly. After which the usefulness of my bomber lessened and I was forced to mainly be a distraction. In the end I had to launch my escape pod to safety as several Lynxes focused their fire on my Cutlass. I am currently sending you this message from Cape Wrath Base in Newcastle as I tend to a couple scrapes and bruises. I hope to soon try and see if there is anything left of my Cutlass to salvage. I hope the two other members of the Crimson Cross made it out alright.

Hola member of the Crimson Cross Command,
First of all, I would like to thank you on granting me the promotion to Sargent. It has been an honor working for the Cross and I hope I will continue to serve you and the spirits to the best of my abilities.
On top of that I would just like to personally welcome Soldado Kaia to the Cross. I flew with you briefly as I was finishing up a patrol of Alpha and I am always glad to meet new members of the Cross. Hope to see you out in space again soon.
Last up, I would just like to let you know that I had just recently finished up a side project I had been working on. I had recently come across an old Stork for a great deal, only downside is it need a lot of repairs to get it up and functioning. Well it is finally fixed up enough to start carrying cargo so I plan on using my Bullmastiff more for gathering “donations” of cargo and the Stork will become my main cargo transport. I have name the Stork ET-Cappuccino.
