~ Loading Message ~
As the tittle says "Four Thousand Fresh Workers" have arrived on Malta. I've heard that the plantations of our Administrator - Dante Maria are in a need of workers as he lost some of them.
I myself went to Liberty in order to get those workers. I won't say that I don't trust others, but this I wanted to be one hundred percent right and I wanted to see those workers in person. I had room for some food so I loaded that as well and left the Beaumont Base soon after.
The flight was alright, I didn't encounter anyone and arrived on Malta safely. The workers will be starting their work tomorrow, but for now I have to get ready for what is coming tonight.

~ Loading Message ~
Evening,
I bring reports from today's Omicron Gamma battle that finished not so long ago. Our fleet that consisted of seven or more snubs, went to Omicron Gamma and payed a visit to Corsairs. Some of us took the route from Beta-Sigmas and others went the other way through Omicron Eta.
Our fleet re-grouped at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta and from there attacked Corsairs that were in Gamma. Now, when we arrived the, Corsairs were somewhat silent as only few of them appeared on our scanners. After a few moments Corsairs came and the battle between our two groups began.
We quickly took down their Gunboat which wasn't that hard considering the numbers of fighters that we had at the time. The battle was hard, very hard, but we managed to destroy a lot of theirs ships. The ship that I was flying got heavily damaged so I had to retreat. However, I can proudly say that our Brigade showed a lot today to Corsairs. We will get stronger, day by day, we will!
That is all for today's Flight Report.

'Ola.
Another report from Liberty. I have to admit, I'm really liking it here so far. The systems are beautiful and there's much more ships of all kinds of factions than in our home systems. Today I went to Pennsylvania where I met a Hacker gunboat and a Rogue bomber near the lanes. I had a little chat with them and joined them in case they'd get shot by the lawfuls. Just as I anticipated, after 10 minutes the lawfuls brought around 5 fighters as well as a gunboat, and engaged us. We got another Hacker fighter and I hired a mercenary that was around as backup. Overall we lost a bomber but killed all of them eventually, scoring a great victory. Guncams in the attachment.
For Dante Maria's eyes only
Before the fight I was approached by a mysterious LSF pilot named Sonja Kerensky, who wanted to talk to me. She disappeared before the fight and came back as it finished, probably lurking on the edge. She asked questions about our new group, as it's not known in Liberty yet. One of the questions was how do we look at the Nomads, to which I didn't give a definitive answer. Another one was our goals and ability if we could one day unite all Outcasts, which has been an impossible task ever since the 101st fell apart. I told her I'm not the one that knows answers to the questions, so she asked me to tell you to contact her. Here's the whole conversation:
[22.04.2016 14:07:59] Death: blu.srbeam was put out of action by ~V~Lia.Verratti (Gun).
[22.04.2016 14:08:41] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Now.
[22.04.2016 14:08:48] ~V~Lia.Verratti: What did I miss in the meantime.
[22.04.2016 14:09:21] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Well I mean, you didn't miss much. I, we, just wanted to see who the new Outcast player on the block was.
[22.04.2016 14:09:48] Sonja.Kerensky:404: And hopefully not to find you engaging in piracy, but you can't have everything.
[22.04.2016 14:10:07] ~V~Lia.Verratti: What?
[22.04.2016 14:10:16] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Who said I was pirating?
[22.04.2016 14:10:30] ~V~Lia.Verratti: And how did you come to that thought in the first place?
[22.04.2016 14:10:37] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Well, it's either that or looking to stir the pot and prove yourself against Liberty's finest.
[22.04.2016 14:10:41] Sonja.Kerensky:404: So which one is it?
[22.04.2016 14:10:45] ~V~Lia.Verratti: None.
[22.04.2016 14:10:51] Sonja.Kerensky:404: In that case, I'm all ears.
[22.04.2016 14:10:55] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Why I'm here is none of your business.
[22.04.2016 14:11:19] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I'm sightseeing Liberty.
[22.04.2016 14:11:34] ~V~Lia.Verratti: It's beautiful so far.
[22.04.2016 14:11:50] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Maybe we can make it our business, Lia. In a friendly kind of way.
[22.04.2016 14:12:09] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Gent named Horrigan told me you folk arent the most unified at the moment, way up in the Edge.
[22.04.2016 14:12:13] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I'm not joking. I'm sightseeing Liberty.
[22.04.2016 14:12:39] Sonja.Kerensky:404: I notice he wasn't lying, since Outcasts of all different stripes seem to be flying out of the woodwork.
[22.04.2016 14:13:08] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Care to enlighten me?
[22.04.2016 14:14:40] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Not much for talking are we...
[22.04.2016 14:14:46] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Let me try another tack then.
[22.04.2016 14:14:55] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Like nomads? Yes or no will be good.
[22.04.2016 14:15:38] ~V~Lia.Verratti: No.
[22.04.2016 14:15:50] ~V~Lia.Verratti: If you mean worshipping, that is.
[22.04.2016 14:15:56] Sonja.Kerensky:404: We did.
[22.04.2016 14:16:03] Sonja.Kerensky:404: That's great to hear.
[22.04.2016 14:16:13] Sonja.Kerensky:404: When this confrontation is over
[22.04.2016 14:16:24] Sonja.Kerensky:404: We'd like a word if that's okay Lia. No strings.
[22.04.2016 14:16:38] Sonja.Kerensky:404: A-and I think we're done here, Meg.
[22.04.2016 14:16:43] WiId.Wind:404: Yes.
[22.04.2016 14:16:48] WiId.Wind:404: Lead on.
[22.04.2016 14:16:54] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Go on.
[22.04.2016 14:16:58] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Call us when you get out of this mess Lia.
[22.04.2016 14:17:06] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Looks like our finest is bringing its biggest.
[22.04.2016 14:21:09] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I lost you there, why should I contact you and who are you?
[22.04.2016 14:21:13] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Do I know you from somewhere?
[22.04.2016 14:21:35] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Not at all.
[22.04.2016 14:21:37] Sonja.Kerensky:404: We've never met.
[22.04.2016 14:21:55] Sonja.Kerensky:404: But hopefully curiousity gets the better of you and you decide to take some of your time to find out
[22.04.2016 14:21:59] Sonja.Kerensky:404: why I want to speak with you.
-The fight between us and the Liberty lawfuls happened here-
[22.04.2016 14:35:08] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Alright, the distraction is done.
[22.04.2016 14:35:39] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I usually wouldn't do this, but go ahead. Talk.
[22.04.2016 14:35:47] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Thanks.
[22.04.2016 14:36:35] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Right, so, I thought Outcasts liked the nomads. But I've met a lot that don't recently.
[22.04.2016 14:37:01] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Further to this, I've been told by a gentleman that Outcasts are very split on this issue.
[22.04.2016 14:37:34] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I only said we don't worship them.
[22.04.2016 14:37:42] Sonja.Kerensky:404: It's a start.
[22.04.2016 14:38:12] ~V~Lia.Verratti: A start?
[22.04.2016 14:38:30] Sonja.Kerensky:404: The way we see it, the Outcasts occupy a position in Sirius that may be quite helpful to everybody as a whole.
[22.04.2016 14:38:37] Sonja.Kerensky:404: But of course, Liberty in particular.
[22.04.2016 14:38:58] Sonja.Kerensky:404: If only you could take unified action, one way or another.
[22.04.2016 14:39:35] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Do you think that's right?
[22.04.2016 14:40:02] ~V~Lia.Verratti: We aren't seeking an unification. At least not that I'm aware of. I'm merely a member of the Vesuvius Brigade.
[22.04.2016 14:41:28] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Hold on a second, why are you talking to me like that, as an LSF pilot?
[22.04.2016 14:41:29] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Do you think you could put a word in for us?
[22.04.2016 14:41:32] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Isn't that against your orders?
[22.04.2016 14:41:55] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Depends on the word.
[22.04.2016 14:42:11] Sonja.Kerensky:404: My orders are to strengthen Liberty by any means. Any means. If that means compromise, so be it.
[22.04.2016 14:42:45] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Interesting.
[22.04.2016 14:42:47] Sonja.Kerensky:404: A word to hear us out when we talk, not simply to ignore us instead.
[22.04.2016 14:43:11] ~V~Lia.Verratti: By "us" you mean the... 404.. group?
[22.04.2016 14:43:21] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Our agency, yes.
[22.04.2016 14:44:24] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Fair enough.
[22.04.2016 14:44:27] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Hmph.
[22.04.2016 14:44:34] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Give me a reason why I should do that.
[22.04.2016 14:44:38] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I don't know anything about you.
[22.04.2016 14:45:17] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Tell me, how much did you pay "Lost" over there?
[22.04.2016 14:45:24] Lost.: Four million credits.
[22.04.2016 14:45:33] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Four kills, four millions.
[22.04.2016 14:45:42] You have received 4.000.000 credits from Sonja.Kerensky:404
[22.04.2016 14:45:57] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Uhm.. gracias?
[22.04.2016 14:46:01] Sonja.Kerensky:404: I dont expect to buy the world from you. Just a word or two.
[22.04.2016 14:46:02] ~V~Lia.Verratti: What was that for.
[22.04.2016 14:46:11] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Hopefully it was for some good will.
[22.04.2016 14:46:14] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Oh.
[22.04.2016 14:46:27] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Well sure, but you still haven't answered my question.
[22.04.2016 14:46:44] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Okay then, let me lay it out for you.
[22.04.2016 14:47:02] Sonja.Kerensky:404: If you pull out a map, you can see just how far Gallia have come.
[22.04.2016 14:47:12] Sonja.Kerensky:404: They are bearing down on Liberty and it's not good.
[22.04.2016 14:47:23] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Si.
[22.04.2016 14:47:34] Sonja.Kerensky:404: They have supply lines travelling through Tau-23, where you have a base.
[22.04.2016 14:47:40] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Nothing we can do about that, I'm afraid. We're pressured hard in the Taus as well.
[22.04.2016 14:48:39] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Yeah, I know you are. Being fractured can do that. I'm not sure about your supply situation, but that might be contributing
[22.04.2016 14:48:43] Sonja.Kerensky:404: as well, if its a poor one.
[22.04.2016 14:49:47] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Personally, I would like to see an Outcast union, increase your power and increase the pressure on Gallic back lines.
[22.04.2016 14:50:02] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Now that's a whole lot to ask, so all I want right now is a word with your boss.
[22.04.2016 14:50:10] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Just to see what we can offer you, in exchange.
[22.04.2016 14:50:35] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Unifying Outcasts... a dream of almost every Outcast group. None have succeeded so far.
[22.04.2016 14:50:54] Sonja.Kerensky:404: None have had the support of a house when trying to do so.
[22.04.2016 14:51:15] Sonja.Kerensky:404: And yes, let me introduce you to one of my agents over there. That mercenary, Lost.
[22.04.2016 14:51:57] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Alright, I'll let him know.
[22.04.2016 14:52:16] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Thanks. If he's interested, please get him to contact us over the neural net.
[22.04.2016 14:52:27] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Otherwise, we can speak in person if he prefers.
[22.04.2016 14:52:36] Sonja.Kerensky:404: Or she.
[22.04.2016 14:52:39] ~V~Lia.Verratti: I'm afraid he's not in Liberty at the moment.
[22.04.2016 14:53:00] Lost.: I do know the way to O-Alpha, if that is an issue.
[22.04.2016 14:53:04] Sonja.Kerensky:404: We can go most places.
[22.04.2016 14:53:23] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Fair enough. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm being called someplace else.
[22.04.2016 14:53:29] ~V~Lia.Verratti: Be seeing you.
[22.04.2016 14:53:35] Sonja.Kerensky:404: See you later, Lia.
[22.04.2016 14:53:47] Lost.: Safe flights, Miss Verratti.

'ello
Earlier today I went to Liberty with my fighter. I didn't have anything else do to hence why I went there. I stopped on Montezuma first for some repairs after my hull got damaged by a sun corona in Tau-29. I wasn't really paying attention while flying, first time that it happens to me. Anyway, after I repaired my ship on Montezuma I went to Magellan and there encountered one Liberty Security Force pilot that was surprisingly quiet and cloaked away from me. I guess I was lucky as I found him right in front of Magellan gate in California, I guess he ran out of batteries. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I've captured 3 Liberty Police pilots and of course that LSF pilot wanted me to free them. I offered him some Coffee and Donuts that I had in my cargo, but he refused to take 'em and demanded the Police pilots. The fight was inevitable and he knew that. He engaged first and... got destroyed. After the duel I went to Alcatraz and bought myself a well deserved drink.

Hello,
As you can see I am send this report from Buffalo Base. Again, I am in Liberty. I started from Alpha, first I encountered a lone Passenger Liner piloted by a female Rogue, her name was Siena Rae if I recall correctly. I encountered her in Omicron-80, she was bringing workers to Malta and bought Cardamine. I escorted her back to Liberty and had an interesting conversation while flying to Liberty.
~ Sending file ~
Alice's.Restaurant: Siena: Heya.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: 'ello there
Alice's.Restaurant: Impressive kit on that ship.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Thank you, I guess.
Alice's.Restaurant: Anyway, uh... can I help you?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: The question is, can I help you?
Alice's.Restaurant: Not really. Just doin' the runs.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: To Liberty I assume?
Alice's.Restaurant: Yeah.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Huh, what a coincidence.
Alice's.Restaurant: You headed that way yourself?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I am heading to Liberty as well
Alice's.Restaurant: Cool.
Alice's.Restaurant: Company might be nice, I suppose.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I guess I'll join you.
Alice's.Restaurant: Interesting new fighters.
Alice's.Restaurant: No more Sabres for the Maltese?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I find Rapier, more satisfying.
Alice's.Restaurant: Fair enough. More of a bomber pilot myself.
Alice's.Restaurant: So are those lighter or heavier than the classics?
Alice's.Restaurant: Switchblade and stuff, I mean.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Well for example Rapier has higher powercore than Sabre.
Alice's.Restaurant: Slower to compensate?
Alice's.Restaurant: There's always some kind of drawback, after all.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: It is faster
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Than Sabre that it.
Alice's.Restaurant: Better power /and/ faster?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: *nods*
Alice's.Restaurant: Jeez.
Alice's.Restaurant: You guys sell those things to non-Maltese?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Exactly, hence why I prefer to use it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Whoever wants to buy them.
Alice's.Restaurant: I might be giving you guys a ring about it later, then.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Just send a message to Vesuvius Brigade.
Alice's.Restaurant: Will do.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: It's either us or Cross, your choice though.
Alice's.Restaurant: You guys new? Have yet to encounter you folks.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Indeed we are.
Alice's.Restaurant: What're your, ah, goals?
Alice's.Restaurant: General furtherance of Maltese prosperity and whatnot?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Well our main goal is to gain more power and trust from Maltese people.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: And expand the Cardamine market of course.
Alice's.Restaurant: Understandable.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: The Orange Dream must be everywhere.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: And soon it shall be.
Alice's.Restaurant: For what it's worth, I'm lookin' to expand my own base of power and trust.
Alice's.Restaurant: And your people have always been reliable business partners in the past.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: The ones that are spreading the Orange Dream are and will be our friends.
Alice's.Restaurant: Well, I'm sold. *She laughs*
Alice's.Restaurant: I'll give you guys a ring sometime soon.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: *smiles* Yeah, do that.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: There's a lot of profit coming from Cardamine.
Alice's.Restaurant: You're telling me.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I myself and the rest of my Brigade perfers spreading Cardamine than pirating.
Alice's.Restaurant: The cardamine alone made the investment into the Restaurant worth it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I believe you.
Alice's.Restaurant: You wouldn't believe how much it cost to get this thing up and running, but it was worth it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I was poor you know?
Alice's.Restaurant: Was.
Alice's.Restaurant: And now?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: It is a horrible feeling.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Now... I am less poor.
Alice's.Restaurant: Less poor is good.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Indeed.
Alice's.Restaurant: Vesuvius Brigade pay well?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I am a Commandant in the Brigade
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Something that you Libertonians would say Vice President or something like that.
Alice's.Restaurant: Oh, nice.
Alice's.Restaurant: So I guess that's a yes, for your case.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: As I said, we're expanding or wish to expand Cardamine market in order to get even more money.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Yes...
Alice's.Restaurant: You got eyes on Rheinland?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: You're reading my mind *smiles*
Alice's.Restaurant: You're not the only one.
Alice's.Restaurant: I think we can be of help to each other.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Oh yes?
Alice's.Restaurant: Me and my boys are looking at Rheinland as our next area of operations, too.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Wonderful.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Your "boys" you say?
Alice's.Restaurant: Well, me and a couple friends. Nothin' too organized.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: *nods*
Alice's.Restaurant: Bearing any colors more complicated than "Rogues" tends to bring unwarranted attention, and makes things a lot less...
Alice's.Restaurant: Flexible.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Figures
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Well tell your "boys" that Vesuvius Brigade might be your chance to get rich.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: After all, money is what is important, right?
Alice's.Restaurant: You got it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Everything circles around the money.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: People tend to say "it's not everything about the money"
Alice's.Restaurant: I think you and I are on the same page.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Even our leader
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I've been poor, I know what it looks like when you don't have anything to eat.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I don't like it.
Alice's.Restaurant: Gotta be determined to never let it happen again.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Yes - "never again"
Alice's.Restaurant: Gotta be strong and uncompromising when the situation calls for it, and know when to cut your losses so you don't end
Alice's.Restaurant: up with nothing again.
Alice's.Restaurant: But if you're good, there's no losses at all.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Just like our Brigade
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Some of us are greedy, I myself am, but I know where the line is.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: And I know when to stop.
Alice's.Restaurant: That's where a lot of Rogues mess up.
Alice's.Restaurant: They go for too much too quick and end up too dead.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Yup, I know.
Alice's.Restaurant:I don't really mind it, though - one less idiot for me to have to worry about compromising my own operations.
Alice's.Restaurant: Anyway, where in Liberty was your destination?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I was heading to Alcatraz, but the person that I was looking for isn't there.
Alice's.Restaurant: Mmh.
Alice's.Restaurant: I hate when people can't keep to a schedule.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Yeah...
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Ehm, Buffalo, a lovely place.
Alice's.Restaurant: It's safe.
Alice's.Restaurant: I just feel like gettin' behind the wheel of a snub.
Siena.Rae: You know, something with a little more firepower.
She then undocked with her heavy bomber - Barghest and told me something that I don't think you will believe either. Apparently the "Crimsion Cross" shot one of the Rogues in California or Texas. You will find everything in the conversation number two.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Oh yes.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: The firepower of that thingy is extraordinary.
Siena.Rae: You're tellin' me.
Siena.Rae: Navy, Rheinwehr, and Hellfires alike all fall before a Barghest.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Mhm...
Siena.Rae: Maltese captains who forget whose turf they're bringing those big ol' Stortas onto, too.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Heh, Storta.
Siena.Rae: Stortas, Ranseurs, Sarissas. They all depressurize about the same.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Hopefully our Brigade will aquire one Ranseur.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Imagine having that kind of firepower.
Siena.Rae: I feel it. I'm looking towards something like that myself.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: So what are you doing around here other than importing Cardi?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: You, not Rogues in general.
Siena.Rae: Well, aside from Rogue things in general?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Ye
Siena.Rae: Doing my best to put out feelers to anyone interesting.
Siena.Rae: Potential business partners.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Such as?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Be right back.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Oh, sorry for that.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Where were we?
Siena.Rae: Askin' me what I do down here.
Siena.Rae: Aside from general Roguery.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Oh yea.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: So *raises his eyebrow*
Siena.Rae: Look for less general Roguery to be done. There's some new gang, up and coming - I've got my eye on them.
Siena.Rae: Dumb name. "Sirian Rogues".
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Oh, never heard of them.
Siena.Rae: That tells me more than you might think.
Siena.Rae: Aside from that, my focus is on looking at a way to get in on Rheinland.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Yes, where to profit is.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: A lot more customers that are willing to try our products and pay quite amount of money.
Siena.Rae: Is that so?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Well yes.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I don't know why, but Crimson Cross is not going there, for whatever reason.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I've heard that from a guy that was from Malta.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Was - now he's dead.
Siena.Rae: Cross doesn't respect the Rogues.
Siena.Rae: I don't like it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Hm?
Siena.Rae: They come onto our turf and disrespect us.
Siena.Rae: *My* turf.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: What do you mean exactly?
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I am not catching up.
Siena.Rae: Convoy of theirs came through lately. We wanted to stop and talk.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: But...?
Siena.Rae: They thought it'd be smart to run and shoot at us for daring to hold up their glorious crusade or whatever the hell they're
Siena.Rae: playing it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: You're kidding me right?
Siena.Rae: Whoever was on that ship died for it.
Siena.Rae: So maybe they've learned their lesson, but I doubt it.
Siena.Rae: And get this, they even tried to moor at Alcatraz *while shooting at us*.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I mean was there something else, they can't just shoot you because you tried to stop them?
Siena.Rae: That was it.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: You didn't provoke them?
Siena.Rae: Well... I suppose we mighta come off as a bit threatening.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Tell me everything, if you wish.
Siena.Rae: But it doesn't reflect too well on them that their first thought was "our good business partners are trying to cause
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I don't want something similar to happen to our Brigade.
Siena.Rae: problems for us".
Siena.Rae: Hey, the rules are simple.
Siena.Rae: Liberty is Rogue territory. No capitals, no disobeying the Rogues.
Siena.Rae: You'd think it'd be simple enough for even religious cultists to follow.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Don't tell me that they had capital vessels.
Siena.Rae: They broke the other rule.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: I find "religious" people such as Cross weird.
Siena.Rae: Yeah.
Siena.Rae: People who're motivated by something besides profit are less predictable.
Siena.Rae: I don't like that.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Me neither to be honest.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: But I just can't believe that they started shooting at you.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Sounds... I don't know...
Siena.Rae: Well, if anyone survived, I guess they know that doesn't fly.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Odd I think is the best word to describe that.
Siena.Rae: Disappointing, I'd say.
Siena.Rae: Anyway, I probably oughta go handle some stuff.
Siena.Rae: Pleasure meeting you.
Siena.Rae: I'll be in touch, I think.
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: *nods*
~V~Aldo.Lombardi: Have a nice day.
I will soon be on my way back to Malta. That's is all for today.

Evening.Today I sent my Frostmourne drone on a short recon to New London.Reports were of a Nomad fleet emerging there.I don't know how you people feel about them but I for one don't really like hangin' around too much around them.Anyway,I did not meet any of the Nomads that were supposedly amassing in New London,however I did meet up with two Ensigns' of the Bretonia Armed Forces.We had a small chatter,nothing special. Anyway,after that I ordered the drone to return back to Barrier Gate Station in Coronado,where it is stationed to ensure the Colonials don't think too highly of themselves and become greedy.Afterwards,I started a small recon in New York in my personally outfitted Rapier.Seeing as we have to ensure the safety of our haulers routes,I decided it would be wise to set myself up along the trade lane to Manhattan from West Point.Well,I could say I met a few Navy pilots hailing from the 5th Naval Fleet.Thankfully,they did not prove much of a threat and were...well,scrapped.I shall attach the guncams I managed to grab when their ships blew up.
That would be all for now.

Hereby the report for the excursion into the system designated as Roussillon or Tau-115. OIT Cinzia Selvaggio and myself started our way from Cali Base in Tau-23 and headed for Tau-29, where we reached the jump hole to Tau-115. Once inside Tau-115, we found ourselves inside a well-deployed mine field and proceeded with utmost caution. It should be of note that there were no defences directly next to the jump hole, but the exit of the mine field was guarded by the Battleship Pamiers, though we managed to slip past it, thanks to our light equipment. From there we proceeded into the Ariege Barrier Nebula and scoured it systematically for anything of note. The nebula itself contained three clusters of asteroid fields, which were mostly large chunks of ice floating in space. We found two uninhabited planets, Prades and Ceret as well as two bases (one of which modular), with the names Montauban, Le Boulou, and the Parisian Revolutionists HQ. Le Boulou was encased in a mine field as well, and apparently guarded a jump hole into the Newcastle system.
Leaving the nebula, we encountered the Perpignan Spaceport right outside of it, which made us believe that it is likely a refuel point for ships going to and coming from Newcastle, and it is highly likely that the Council has its influence in that system. Passing Toulouse and its moon Le Soler, we made a turn for the Tarn Barrier Nebula on the other side of the system, though this one proved to be far less interesting than the other. Containing only one large cluster of ice asteroids, this nebula hid the Cassaude Depot, Planet Elne and a jump hole to Baffin.
Once it was clear that we had been wasting our time looking through this nebula for more objects of interest, we moved out again, moving towards the system's middle. The only things of note there were three further planets, Argeles, which is a gas giant of unknown composition, and Foix, a desert planet too close to the sun to sustain an atmosphere, and another cluster of ice asteroids that seemed to be caught in the gravitational well of the small, desolated moon Tarascon. With the entire system scoured, we made our way back to the Tau-29 jump hole and left quickly, evading the battleship guarding the bottleneck leading through the mine field towards the jump hole.

Buonasera,
Ever since my entry into the Council and the Flottilla I had little issues on my way to Liberty with the Orange Dream, and on the way back with workforce to replenish fragile human resources on the fields of Malta. Of course on occasion the Craytenes or Battlegroup Arrogance stood in my way, but I eventually shook them off of my tail in no time (in one instance with the help dalla egregia Signora Mercier, grazie tanto Signora).
What surprised me however is that today one of those religious lunatics from Baffin decided to take on me this time, trying to force me to unload my fellow workers I was carrying onto their station and not to carry them further, even if it would be against their will. Of course I resisted and after a chase longer than usual I managed to slip away and return to Malta with the ship in one piece and all those onboard safe and secure. Guncam was malfunctioning at that time, so all I can present is the conversation between the two of us, which is attached at the end of the message.
Such hypocrisy wouldn't surprise me from any of our enemies, but as far as I know our stance with the TAZ is neutral by the Nacion's mercy and because they were harmless to our operations until now. If I'm wrong, correct me, if I'm right, then it has changed, and the TAZ decided to turn against us. From the looks of it while they have big ships, like that Q-Ship I encountered today, they don't seem to have many. If I have any say in this matter, I'd advise removing this minor, but significant tumor from our path along the Barrier Pass, shouldn't take long, I'm sure about that.
Ho finito, signori e signore. Per La Nazione, per Malta.

[05.10.823 08:42:24] NC-ET-Orion~V: Now if you mind, I'll continue my way to the Tau systems.
[05.10.823 08:42:30] NC-ET-Orion~V: //*don't mind
[05.10.823 08:42:42] NC-ET-Orion~V: I told you to cool your guns.
[05.10.823 08:43:04] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: well, according ro my scannes you carry slaves, thats not allowed in baffin
[05.10.823 08:43:20] NC-ET-Orion~V: Your scanners are malfunctioning then.
[05.10.823 08:43:29] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: therefore i have to fine you.
[05.10.823 08:43:32] NC-ET-Orion~V: These aren't slaves, these are workers.
[05.10.823 08:44:31] NC-ET-Orion~V: Do I look like stupid enough to bring slaves into Baffin when I know local laws forbid such?
[05.10.823 08:44:32] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: you bring those slaves or workers as you call them to the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:44:37] NC-ET-Orion~V: Thoughts like that are borderline insulting.
[05.10.823 08:45:12] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: and after that you will speak a prayer for eris
[05.10.823 08:45:15] NC-ET-Orion~V: These workers have legal contracts signed by them without anyone forcing them.
[05.10.823 08:45:39] NC-ET-Orion~V: I'm not going to let you enslave them while you preach your hypocrisy.
[05.10.823 08:46:04] NC-ET-Orion~V: These are innocent people being intercepted on their way to work.
[05.10.823 08:46:25] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: your next destination is the skyhook where you let them free
[05.10.823 08:46:38] NC-ET-Orion~V: Would you really force them onto your Skyhook against their will?
[05.10.823 08:47:11] NC-ET-Orion~V: They are already free and decided to come with me to work. I'm providing them taxi service.
[05.10.823 08:47:27] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: when they are at the skyhook they are free to do what they want, if they wanna go to
[05.10.823 08:47:51] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: malta, new tokyo its on their own
[05.10.823 08:48:00] NC-ET-Orion~V: And what if they want to come with me again? Will you turn me around again and again to your skyhook?
[05.10.823 08:48:28] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: but you will carry them to the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:48:37] NC-ET-Orion~V: Your outdated scanners are malfunctioning, the only one seeing slaves here is you.
[05.10.823 08:48:46] NC-ET-Orion~V: What don't you understand?
[05.10.823 08:49:07] NC-ET-Orion~V: Is this what your Eris teaches you to do? Enslave while preaching against slavery?
[05.10.823 08:49:08] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: in that case you are a victim of my old scanner
[05.10.823 08:49:54] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: the skyhook, please
[05.10.823 08:50:02] NC-ET-Orion~V: Alright, to the skyhook then. But if they stay onboard to continue their way on my ship to Malta, they will.
[05.10.823 08:50:16] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: no
[05.10.823 08:50:29] NC-ET-Orion~V: You just admitted wanting to enslave them.
[05.10.823 08:50:44] NC-ET-Orion~V: Are they free once on the Skyhook or not?
[05.10.823 08:51:17] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: they are free and you are not allowed to bring slaves into baffin
[05.10.823 08:51:31] NC-ET-Orion~V: Are you imbecile? How many times do I have to tell you?
[05.10.823 08:51:34] NC-ET-Orion~V: They.
[05.10.823 08:51:35] NC-ET-Orion~V: Are.
[05.10.823 08:51:37] NC-ET-Orion~V: Not.
[05.10.823 08:51:39] NC-ET-Orion~V: Slaves.
[05.10.823 08:51:53] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: if they wanna go to malta they need another taxi service
[05.10.823 08:51:56] NC-ET-Orion~V: They are free people currently being forced against their will onto your skyhook by nobody else, but you.
[05.10.823 08:52:00] NC-ET-Orion~V: Why?
[05.10.823 08:52:06] NC-ET-Orion~V: Why can't they come with me if they want?
[05.10.823 08:52:13] NC-ET-Orion~V: Are you forcing them against their will?
[05.10.823 08:52:20] NC-ET-Orion~V: That's the definition of slavery, did you know?
[05.10.823 08:52:27] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: because its the wish of eris
[05.10.823 08:52:44] NC-ET-Orion~V: Wish of Eris, my balls.
[05.10.823 08:53:09] NC-ET-Orion~V: You'll regret your blindness as well as your malfunctioning scanners.
[05.10.823 08:53:29] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: maybe, but not yet
[05.10.823 08:53:36] NC-ET-Orion~V: Just a matter of time.
[05.10.823 08:55:01] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:55:27] NC-ET-Orion~V: I'm not letting you enslave any of these free people, in whomever's name you want it to do.
[05.10.823 08:56:49] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: bring them to the skyhook, say your prayer and leave baffin unharmed
[05.10.823 08:57:00] NC-ET-Orion~V: And what about these people?
[05.10.823 08:57:09] NC-ET-Orion~V: I'll not leave them in your care.
[05.10.823 08:57:15] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: otherwise you have to face the consequences
[05.10.823 08:57:27] NC-ET-Orion~V: I did not trust you too much before, now I have even less reasons to trust you.
[05.10.823 08:57:37] NC-ET-Orion~V: You better not talk about consequences.
[05.10.823 08:59:02] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: looks like you dont care about your "workers"
[05.10.823 08:59:09] NC-ET-Orion~V: I do care.
[05.10.823 08:59:17] NC-ET-Orion~V: That's why I'll not let you get them.
[05.10.823 09:00:31] NC-ET-Orion~V: And what if you catch me, but I won't submit? Will you shoot this ship open and leave all these poor souls here in open space?
[05.10.823 09:01:08] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: eris will protect them
[05.10.823 09:01:18] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[05.10.823 09:01:21] NC-ET-Orion~V: Are you religious fanatics all this dense?
[05.10.823 09:01:44] NC-ET-Orion~V: I wish the Nacion would have eradicated all of you already.
[05.10.823 09:02:12] NC-ET-Orion~V: But after this I assume it'll just be a matter of time.
[05.10.823 09:02:21] NC-ET-Orion~V: Weeks, months, and you are gone.
[05.10.823 09:03:01] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: thats the decision of eris
[05.10.823 09:03:32] NC-ET-Orion~V: No, if it happens, it'll be the decision of Malta, and your Eris won't save you.
[05.10.823 09:05:04] NC-ET-Orion~V: It seems even Eris doesn't want you to catch me.
[05.10.823 09:05:07] NC-ET-Orion~V: Why bother then?
[05.10.823 09:05:10] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet: Hagbard: you are abour to loose your ship if you dont bring them to the skyhook

Lets be fair, you did sort of run your position to go around and shoot others as a mercenary, but then again you probably have the best sense when it comes to traveling around "Hostile work environments". I need you leading the security escorts and logistics department. I suggest you take this chance to really redeem yourself within the ranks of the National Council. This position gives you the right to oversee any trade deals and security contracts that we make and any communications you can take over with my permission.
This now also permits you to fly heavy gunship craft of your choice, just like your fighter. But please be aware that you must also have it within reason as this will be an escort ship to be flown along side transports.
Good luck.

Buongiorno Signori e Signore,
It appears sufficient pressure can squish out the little sense which remained in these Discordians, the one chasing me days before has sent me a message yesterday late evening, which included an apology and some reimbursement. As long as they don't bother me again, my case with them is resolved, whatever else the rest of the Council or the Flottilla wants to do with them is up to you now.
Per La Nazione, per Malta.
