MESSAGE DECRYPTING... |||||||||||||||||||||||||| 100%
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Sarah O'Riley and I am honoured to introduce the Frumentarii to the Lane Hackers, one of our oldest secret friends.
The organisation I am representing goes back decades and consists of a network holding influence right up into the high echelons of the Independent Miners Guild. In its history, the Frumentarii have supported decisions of the Guildmastery, have swayed their decisions or have gone against it to achieve their goals.
The Guild keeps complete deniability and if you were to request information, I assume no intel would be provided. However, I can assure you that the society has the means to influence what is happening. For example, in 819 A.S the Frumentarii were instrumental in keeping a certain House influence out of the Coronado system, thereby securing its independence and preserving its function as a discreet passageway for those who need room outside of laws and police patrols.
It is about recent Coronado events that I would like to talk to the Lane Hackers: a surprise Outcast raid that damaged or destroyed Crayterian orbital infrastructure, while Crayter forces were successfully pushing Gallia out of Tau 44. The Coronado confrontation resulted in heavy combat activities that left IMG assets damaged, and also saw Lane Hacker vessels damaged.
The Guild seems to have decided to bury the incident and not do a follow up. The official conclusion was that Lane Hackers and IMG vessels did not clash directly, and that the rules of engagement on IMG side were clear and kept blue-on-blue fire from happening.
For the Frumentarii, there are some questions that are raised by the Coronado events and some suggestions to be made.
For a pretext, I should add that the main purpose of the organisation I work for is to defeat Gallia and thereby free the Taus again from occupation. We aim at preserving its freedom from House rule afterwards. The military successes against Gallia in Tau 44 mark a beginning of this effort.
Furthermore, the Frumentarii are ready to defend the independence of every system that we have a stake in from House influence, but also from a growing influence of our enemies. In Coronado, this includes the Houses of Liberty and its corporations, as well as the Outcast.
We do not mind your deals with the Outcast, and the Frumentarii do not mind a certain degree of lawlessness in Coronado. It is essential to create the environment that is needed for some activities. However we require some clarification as to the nature of this cooperation in the Coronado incident.
Can you define the role of the Lane Hacker fighter craft in the early stages of the engagements near Planet Pecos?
What is the Lane Hacker's stance on the Outcast cooperation with alien entities of gigantic mass, as encountered in the attack against the Crayter forces at Pecos? At least two gigantic creatures labelled commonly as Marduk-class were spotted in the engagement. Reports also state that more of them were alongside Outcast forces in the destruction of Minerva Research Station.
What is the Outcast's game for Coronado? Was this just a raid to take out the research installation, or is this part of a plan for Coronado? How does it involve your organisation? Because if there was a major move by the Outcast, we should align our points of view and find a middle ground that serves our mutual interests for Coronado's future.
The Frumentarii would mind any threat of our core interests in Coronado, which obviously span wider than just Planet Pecos and planetary Deuterium mining and an absence of House influence. That's why it is essential for us to share information and come to a conclusion as to how we can cooperate in a way that ensures our interests are met.
If you are interested, the Frumentarii could offer to be a mediator between you and the Crayter Republic, if a decrease of hostility after the Coronado clash seems wise to you. From our perspective, we assess that there is little appetite in the Crayter Republic to make more enemies, now that their assets will focus on the Taus. So there is a chance, despite recent confrontation, to return to a more sustainable diplomatic stance - always depending that your mission in Coronado has been completed with the destruction of this piece of infrastructure.
Furthermore, the Guild has a certain measure of influence on Crayter Republic decisions and if we can agree to a path that seems worth following, the Frumentarii could prove to be an asset in influencing decisions that shape Coronado's future.
I am looking forward to any questions and I hope I will receive some answers to my questions.
