Greetings, sirs.
While dealing with a [color=#FF9900]Reaver over Manhattan today I received a communication from the
LNS Crystal River with regards to a breach of the Alaska system by a Freelancer with an
Order made Hathor class Gunboat. When I finished my enemy after a brief, but intense, fight I transferred to the
LNF Paradise and made to assist the Liberty vessel. What makes this more than the usual dust off on the target was that pilot of the Hathor was looking to peddle information on the
***UNKOWN*** system in exchange for letting him depart Liberty. Usually I am skeptical of those who try to trade for their lives out there, but I was able to convince him to put in and await questioning on Prison Station Mitchell. I've been informed that the Warden of the station has provided the prisoner, one
Valandil Darkmun, with a recording device so that he may make whatever statement he needs to make. His vessel has been put on lockdown and will not depart unless given clearance by High Command personnel.

Recording of Prisoner xv-1786 "Valandil Darkmun"
--------slight static and the click of the recording device---------
Is this thing on?
Oh I guess so. Well where do I start well my name Is Valandil Darkmun, I like long walks on the beach and tall blondes and I could go for a nice meal and shower right now.
-------Static and first recording ends---------
Picking up from my last transmission I know whats on the other side of the Alien gate in Kansas none of your probes can detect anything because there are to many dang anomalies even my scanner couldn't read anything nor my nav map. I went here looking for my sister after Toledo was destroyed don't know why I went looking for her that way....
-----Deep breath and silence for awhile---------
Once I found a derelict ship called "Rattlesnake" I noticed it was pointing twords something then a Ion flash lit up the nebula and I saw it I don't know why but I went though it. It was different from normal gates it seemed to take longer. Once I was though the first thing I did was look around I didn't recognize any of the star system's off in the distance either. The reason why no ships return is because the gate is one way and once they get to the other side its only a matter of time before the radiation in this system.
-------Another deep breath and a click ending 2nd recording--------
I flew around for awhile till a structure came into view as I got closer I noticed it was of Nomad design but the weapons didn't come on I didn't dare dock I started looking for a way out just in case who ever lived there came home. After flying around for awhile well...This is where I negotiate for my freedom ill give you the Location and guide you there and out. The jump gate leaving that system is one way and ends up in Penn.

Greetings, sirs.
After much discussion, the prisoner, one [color=#FFFF00]Valandil Darkmun, will be interrogated by myself and the captain of the LNS Crystal River at 05:00 SMT on Tuesday, July 31st. We'll see how it is this man came to be in possession of a Hathor, what ties with the Order he has, and we'll verify the authenticity of his "intel" on that previously stated area. A full log of the interrogation will be posted when we've concluded the matter.

[31.07.819 AS 05:33:16] Valandil Darkmun: Yes I was in a place that doesn't exsist but yet it has laws.
[31.07.819 AS 05:33:27] Alan Polstari: Something like that, yes.
[31.07.819 AS 05:33:47] Alan Polstari: And I would point out that you were found captaining a vessel manufactured by the Order.
[31.07.819 AS 05:33:59] Valandil Darkmun: Yes it is.

[31.07.819 AS 05:36:21] Alan Polstari: Understood.
[31.07.819 AS 05:36:34] Alan Polstari: Are there any "devices" we should be aware of on your vessel?
[31.07.819 AS 05:36:38] Alan Polstari: Let it be known.
[31.07.819 AS 05:36:52] Alan Polstari: We can and will jettison it to space and blast it to pieces if we need to.
[31.07.819 AS 05:36:52] Valandil Darkmun: Yes a password locked Nav chart.
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:08] Alan Polstari: And you are the sole keeper of this password?
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:14] Valandil Darkmun: Yes.
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:21] Alan Polstari: Right then.
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:23] Valandil Darkmun: Any attempts to hack it and all the information will be deleted.
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:32] Alan Polstari: Noted.
[31.07.819 AS 05:37:50] Alan Polstari: *takes a drink of water from his own glass*
[31.07.819 AS 05:38:05] Alan Polstari: Now then, what if any associations do you have with the Order, Mr. Darkmun?
[31.07.819 AS 05:38:09] Alan Polstari: Aside from your sister, that is.
[31.07.819 AS 05:38:38] Valandil Darkmun: Thats it.
[31.07.819 AS 05:38:57] Alan Polstari: That's it? You've not been contacted by any member of the Order at all?
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:09] Valandil Darkmun: Just her husband.
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:14] Alan Polstari: I find that suspect, given that you're flying a top of the line Gunboat of their design.
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:23] Valandil Darkmun: Well it wasn't exactly Given to me.
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:24] Alan Polstari: *looks up*
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:29] Alan Polstari: Husband, you say?
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:38] Alan Polstari: Do explain, sir.
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:49] Valandil Darkmun: Yes his name is James ohh I forget his last name.
[31.07.819 AS 05:39:59] Valandil Darkmun: He was in possesion of the gunboat.
[31.07.819 AS 05:40:17] Valandil Darkmun: That once I found the Nav chart where my sister might of gone I took it.
[31.07.819 AS 05:40:23] Valandil Darkmun: They made little effort to stop me.
[31.07.819 AS 05:40:41] Alan Polstari: Are you sure you forgot the name of your sister's husband, sir?
[31.07.819 AS 05:40:47] Alan Polstari: *hovers a hand over a button*
[31.07.819 AS 05:40:59] Valandil Darkmun: His name is James odd last name.
[31.07.819 AS 05:41:28] Valandil Darkmun: It wasn't exactly a long conversation.
[31.07.819 AS 05:41:33] Alan Polstari: *presses the button, and a jolt of electricity runs through Darkmun's chair, giving him an instance of pain*
[31.07.819 AS 05:41:46] Alan Polstari: I'll ask again.
[31.07.819 AS 05:41:47] Valandil Darkmun: *YATZ Jumps up a bit*
[31.07.819 AS 05:41:54] Alan Polstari: What's his last name?
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:01] Valandil Darkmun: Skywalker.
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:06] Alan Polstari: There now?
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:11] Alan Polstari: See how easy that was?
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:24] Alan Polstari: I'd like to avoid this method in the future.
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:46] Alan Polstari: The less, absences, shall we say, of memory you have, the better off this will be for the both of us.
[31.07.819 AS 05:42:46] Valandil Darkmun: *A slight smirk arises on my face and is quicky repressed*
[31.07.819 AS 05:43:33] Alan Polstari: Now then. James Skywalker, wife of your sister, Ashla.
[31.07.819 AS 05:43:53] Alan Polstari: And he and his group didn't give a damn when you took their vessel and made off with it?
[31.07.819 AS 05:44:20] Valandil Darkmun: A flight of ships chased me at first. But they where called off.
[31.07.819 AS 05:44:25] Valandil Darkmun: I think he knew Id find something he couldn't.
[31.07.819 AS 05:44:46] Alan Polstari: Noted.
[31.07.819 AS 05:44:52] Alan Polstari: Now then.
[31.07.819 AS 05:45:11] Alan Polstari: We're here today, and you're not rotting endlessly in a cell because you claimed you had particular information.
[31.07.819 AS 05:45:34] Alan Polstari: Information about what's beyond a certain structure located in the Kansas system.
[31.07.819 AS 05:46:00] Alan Polstari: *A cold look crosses his face*
[31.07.819 AS 05:46:45] Alan Polstari: I'd like it very much if you would share what you think will save your life from an endless existance in a cell...
[31.07.819 AS 05:46:53] Alan Polstari: Here on Mitchell Prison Station.
[31.07.819 AS 05:47:25] Alan Polstari: Non-compliance, well--
[31.07.819 AS 05:47:32] Alan Polstari: *hover hand over the button again*
[31.07.819 AS 05:47:37] Valandil Darkmun: Now what?
[31.07.819 AS 05:47:40] Alan Polstari: That can be, unpleasant.
[31.07.819 AS 05:47:44] Alan Polstari: So then.
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:09] Valandil Darkmun: Well.
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:13] Valandil Darkmun: You what to know what I saw?
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:19] Valandil Darkmun: Nomad design.
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:20] Alan Polstari: What do you have to say about what's beyond that structure.
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:32] Alan Polstari: I'm aware of it, sir. I saw it myself, once.
[31.07.819 AS 05:48:35] Valandil Darkmun: A jump hole that comes out in the Penn but vanishes behind you.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:01] Valandil Darkmun: You can get lost in that system easily.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:01] Alan Polstari: I'll need to know the exit location, of course.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:14] Valandil Darkmun: Let me go first.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:23] Alan Polstari: And where in this "Unknown" system you can find the Jump Hole out.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:28] Valandil Darkmun: Scanners wont pick it up unless you know where to look.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:38] Alan Polstari: Mr. Darkmun, you seem to think you have an advantage here.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:45] Alan Polstari: *he leans forward*
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:47] Alan Polstari: You don't.
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:51] Valandil Darkmun: Well you see
[31.07.819 AS 05:49:57] Valandil Darkmun: The system is highly radioactive.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:03] Alan Polstari: I can press hit button all day long to my heart's content.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:09] Alan Polstari: *hand hovers over the button*
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:09] Valandil Darkmun: It eats away at the hull.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:18] Alan Polstari: And frankly, no one will care.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:26] Alan Polstari: Except if I don't get results, of course.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:35] Alan Polstari: So noted.
[31.07.819 AS 05:50:51] Valandil Darkmun: Press it. Coordinants are useless unless i show you.
[31.07.819 AS 05:51:19] Alan Polstari: Subject has stated that the "Unknown" system is highly radio-active, and would be a mess to search manually.
[31.07.819 AS 05:51:24] Alan Polstari: Oh, yes, of course.
[31.07.819 AS 05:51:34] Alan Polstari: *pressed the button for a few seconds longer than the last time*
[31.07.819 AS 05:51:48] Valandil Darkmun: *agh wiggles in the seat a bit*
[31.07.819 AS 05:51:58] Alan Polstari: Like I said.
[31.07.819 AS 05:52:07] Alan Polstari: All day, every day, for as long as we have you here.
[31.07.819 AS 05:52:23] Alan Polstari: It gets seriously unpleasant after ten seconds, I'm told.
[31.07.819 AS 05:52:37] Alan Polstari: Very few keep consciousness after twenty seconds.
[31.07.819 AS 05:52:42] Alan Polstari: And thirty?
[31.07.819 AS 05:52:50] Valandil Darkmun: *looks at your hand for any wedding rings*
[31.07.819 AS 05:53:01] Alan Polstari: Well, it's not called the "Executioner's Chair" for nothing.
[31.07.819 AS 05:53:08] Alan Polstari: *you find none*
[31.07.819 AS 05:53:17] Valandil Darkmun: Do you have a girlfriend?
[31.07.819 AS 05:53:30] Alan Polstari: *frowns a moment*
[31.07.819 AS 05:53:40] Valandil Darkmun: Because im purty sure thats why your last one left you.
[31.07.819 AS 05:54:02] Valandil Darkmun: Unpleasant after 10. Falling asleep after twenty.
[31.07.819 AS 05:54:12] Alan Polstari: *presses the button for an additonal second longer than previous, putting it up to four seconds*
[31.07.819 AS 05:54:23] Valandil Darkmun: *a mix of a laugh and pain come out*
[31.07.819 AS 05:54:41] Alan Polstari: My personal life is none of your concern.
[31.07.819 AS 05:55:03] Valandil Darkmun: Oh bummer thought we where becomeing friends.
[31.07.819 AS 05:55:04] Alan Polstari: And we're not on topic right now.
[31.07.819 AS 05:55:39] Alan Polstari: You will let me know what I seek to know, or you will spend the rest of your life in a cell here on Mitchell Station.
[31.07.819 AS 05:55:47] Alan Polstari: You will -never- find your sister.
[31.07.819 AS 05:55:59] Alan Polstari: And you will berate yourself endlessly for failing her.
[31.07.819 AS 05:56:09] Alan Polstari: Unless you comply, that is.
[31.07.819 AS 05:56:13] Valandil Darkmun: Well what do you want to know.
[31.07.819 AS 05:56:18] Valandil Darkmun: The exit jumphole location?
[31.07.819 AS 05:56:31] Alan Polstari: In the "Unknown" system, yes.
[31.07.819 AS 05:56:42] Alan Polstari: And where it dumps to in Pennsylvania.
[31.07.819 AS 05:57:07] Valandil Darkmun: It dumps in Penn right next to the texas jumpe hole at D6
[31.07.819 AS 05:57:16] Alan Polstari: Well then, that's a good start.
[31.07.819 AS 05:57:20] Valandil Darkmun: Nav maps are useless and scrambled in the unkown system.
[31.07.819 AS 05:57:40] Valandil Darkmun: Everything scanned comes back as unkown.
[31.07.819 AS 05:57:40] Alan Polstari: Noted.
[31.07.819 AS 05:58:12] Alan Polstari: A heading and distance from where you enter the system to the exit, then.
[31.07.819 AS 05:58:36] Valandil Darkmun: Ohh im not sure i Must of flew in circles for awhile.
[31.07.819 AS 05:58:39] Alan Polstari: That should be sufficient for our navigation purposes.
[31.07.819 AS 05:58:52] Alan Polstari: *presses the button for five seconds*
[31.07.819 AS 05:58:59] Valandil Darkmun: *bites down*
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:01] Alan Polstari: I dislike these "absences" of memory, sir.
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:21] Valandil Darkmun: There is no time in this system the only time there is the radiation.
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:31] Valandil Darkmun: Radiation and nomads.
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:47] Valandil Darkmun: I know its realtively close to a sun.
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:53] Alan Polstari: Subject finally mentions "Nomad" entities being present in the system.
[31.07.819 AS 05:59:56] Valandil Darkmun: But do you want to risk sending a ship there and not finding it?
[31.07.819 AS 06:00:45] Alan Polstari: We have rather modern sensors and electronic warfare suites, I think we can handle it.
[31.07.819 AS 06:00:54] Alan Polstari: *he raises an eyebrow*
[31.07.819 AS 06:01:02] Alan Polstari: You have a reason to suspect otherwise?
[31.07.819 AS 06:01:17] Valandil Darkmun: Like I said you can have sensors that can detect a fly on my ass it wont pick up anything.
[31.07.819 AS 06:01:26] Alan Polstari: Also, "a" sun? There are multiple suns int he system?
[31.07.819 AS 06:01:48] Valandil Darkmun: Well It might be the one on the Left when you come out of the gate That you can't go back though.
[31.07.819 AS 06:01:53] Valandil Darkmun: Id love to show you.
[31.07.819 AS 06:02:09] Alan Polstari: *he smiles flatly*
[31.07.819 AS 06:02:13] Alan Polstari: I'm sure.
[31.07.819 AS 06:03:05] Alan Polstari: And how exactly do you intend to show us where it is given your mental inability to recall anything about the system?
[31.07.819 AS 06:03:17] Valandil Darkmun: Im a visual person.
[31.07.819 AS 06:03:37] Alan Polstari: That would explain the tall blondes then, eh?
[31.07.819 AS 06:03:45] Valandil Darkmun: Yups.
[31.07.819 AS 06:03:50] Valandil Darkmun: *smirks a bit*
[31.07.819 AS 06:04:10] Alan Polstari: *he hovers his hand over the button again before retracting it*
[31.07.819 AS 06:04:23] Alan Polstari: Well then, -Mister- Darkmun.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:06] Alan Polstari: I will give you an offer.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:10] Alan Polstari: It's your only offer.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:19] Valandil Darkmun: The correct term is chance then.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:30] Alan Polstari: There are no negotiations with respect to its conditions.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:33] Alan Polstari: One.
[31.07.819 AS 06:05:49] Alan Polstari: We will place a proximity nuclear device aboard your vessel.
[31.07.819 AS 06:06:13] Alan Polstari: It will be keyed to detonate if it leaves a five klick radius of the LNF Paradise, my vessel.
[31.07.819 AS 06:06:38] Alan Polstari: You will lead myself and the Paradise to this location in the "Unkown" system.
[31.07.819 AS 06:06:51] Valandil Darkmun: Alright. And after?
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:10] Alan Polstari: We will map it, and upon confirmation of its stability and exit vector, we will disarm the device.
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:23] Alan Polstari: You will then depart Liberty to never return.
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:29] Valandil Darkmun: Alright.
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:33] Alan Polstari: In any function, capacity, or role.
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:35] Alan Polstari: Ever.
[31.07.819 AS 06:07:57] Alan Polstari: Should we find that you are a liar, we will remote detonate the device.
[31.07.819 AS 06:08:09] Alan Polstari: We may end up stranded, but -you- will end up dead.
[31.07.819 AS 06:08:33] Valandil Darkmun: Suit your self.
[31.07.819 AS 06:09:23] Valandil Darkmun: I agree to this "Offer"
[31.07.819 AS 06:09:24] Alan Polstari: We will escort you to your vessel in five minutes, where you will keep your shield down at all times unless authorized.
[31.07.819 AS 06:09:38] Alan Polstari: Failure will result in summary destruction.
