Subject: Calling the kin
To those still out there.
I believe introduction's in order. Name's Nora Rees Brennan, and our collective of bright minds elected me to manage the daily routines here, and to represent the Mull base in external matters. I haven't called sooner as I've been informed of Crownies breaching the "Maguire", and we've had our hands tied patching up the backdoor, as well as getting accustomed to intesified lawful activity here in Newcastle. But the comms should be secure for a good few moments while we're seeking a workaround.
Following Shillelagh's departure of the system, we've scaled down our operations to regular smuggling activities and assembling generic weapon, a good portion of which was frequently shipped to Arranmore in small quantities, typically on freighters, as we had to adapt our tactics to slip past the patrols and Dublin blockade alike. Smaller quantities than usual, but definitely enough to keep the gears greased, and the spirits high.
Our smugglers bring back news that our device made quite the impact, and that some Cretan rats breached in as Crownies fled with their pants down. If anything's needed for a plan to snuff them out - we're ready to take on it, but forging such an order will require time, as we're still refilling our stockpiles: even destabilising a jump gate was a daunting task that bled our storages dry. We will do what's needed and improvise, if necessary - we are the Mollys' brightest minds, and best artisans for a good reason.
This message better find someone alive. Don't keep us in the dark.

Good morning, Mr. Hornviper.
Excellent work completing these deliveries in such a short time, and good thinking in acquiring those Pharmaceuticals - our injured pilots need all the help they can get.
The fee for the first shipment has already been paid, and I am transferring the rest of your bonus now.
Godspeed,

This is the Insurrection.
We are reporting a brief but successful incursion into New London. It mostly mounted to scanning traffic around the gates in-system, but we did manage to extort a Crown transport for some funds for our movement and swiftly withdraw.
We are now moored at Trafalgar and are going to continue monitoring the situation from here. If the Corsairs, Bounty Hunters or Crown forces launch an incursion into Dublin, we will be in position to give warning and respond.

Subject: Junker Interference
Alright, chaps? Captain Granger of the Kimberly here.
We've had a tiny bit of an incident with Junkers coming in and nabbing the shinies. Wouldn't give it a second thought normally, especially since they were buyin' from a fellow kindred miner, but we've followed them out of curiosity and found out they're taking the ore out of Dublin. Not only that, they offloaded it on Forti- Fortitu-what's-its-face... FOR-TI-TU-DI-NE base. You know, that station that basically shouts "Hey, we're working for the old Crown company!" every once in a while?
Anyway, after that stunt they still came back into Dublin, despite knowing we were out there. Things you do for greed, eh? We've interrogated them, charged them a fee and instructed them to piss off, but you know Junkers, they just can't go a week without tryin' to cross someone. They're bound to be back, so maybe we ought to step up our war efforts and get rid of the source of the problem? I'm attaching the transcripts and flight logs for you lot.
Granger out.

Is this thing working? Hello, Scott here.
Just made it back to Dublin after those fights in Leeds. Had a good chat with the lads and lasses on Foyle. Seems we've taken quite a beating lately, with many of our ships in the repair docks.
It's been floating around that there's an upcoming convoy with some tech that could make our lives a whole lot harder. We need to have our ships ready to fight for the cause.
Someone mentioned that some Gallians in Orleanais were willing to trade engine components for our gold, so I pulled together a crew to fly the old Galley out there and meet them for the exchange. These engine components would come in handy, no doubt. I really hope they're as reliable as they say, because we're going to need them.
The deal went smoothly. We've got the parts now; let's hope they perform as advertised. See the details in the attached files.
Scott out.

To: All Mollys
Subject: An appeal
My friends, the crown is quickly tightening the knot around our throats!
Surely you must be thinking, "but Guy, the crownies have already been on our butts since day one", but this week was a nightmare! The Anotha Day Anotha Haul was intercepted not once, not twice, but THREE separate times! Twice by the dastardly (picture displays incident 1) Captain Archibald of the HMS Naseby, and again by this one Bounty Hunter, "Bessie the Bison". It's true that our ship doesn't have a long history to draw much of a pattern from, but let me assure you, this is most unusual (our track record otherwise was clean) - they make incursions directly into Dublin for this! Unfortunately, I couldn't capture images of the last two incidents, but I do some relevant flight logs attached below...
There seems to have been a considerable increase to the Armed Forces' efforts to block off Dublin from the rest of the sector. Most alarmingly, during one of my trips, I thought I had just evaded that pants-on-head Captain in the New London system - when he and his ship appeared right in the middle of my vector right towards Foyle, in the Dublin system! They're going as far as employing advanced transversal systems such as jump drives to stop our operations! ... To stop a SINGLE Pilgrim Liner, and who knows how many more?!
My friends, this is most troublesome. I am already making inroads to curb the Armed Forces' increased brazen aggression in the Dublin system. To each action, there must be a reaction! The Gold - OUR Gold, that WE'VE earned for OURSELVES - must flow!
See you in space - warm up your neutron batteries!

This is Banshee Actual.
At approximately 1700 hours yesterday, a Corsair raiding party was intercepted in Dublin, likely a move against the Mining Corps' operations. Fleet Command ordered all raiders destroyed before they could threaten our miners.
Corsair Raiders

MRS-Bradford - Scylla-class destroyer - DISABLED
RPA|PRW-Golden.Republic - Scylla-class destroyer - RETURNED
RPA|PRW-Lough.Caragh - Hel-class cruiser - RETURNED
Engagement commenced near the remains of the jump gate, where allied patrols identified a Deterrence cruiser invading our territory. It was quickly reinforced by a Black Sails bomber wing. It's my understanding that the two Corsair factions are at odds with each other, unless it comes to fighting us. Fleet Command responded by deploying a destroyer escorted by a fighter patrol. However, the destroyer was quickly disabled by the enemy cruiser without inflicting significant damage.
Unexpectedly, a Black Sails battlecruiser arrived by the use of a jump tunnel and shot down one of our reserve fighters. They were then joined by another Deterrence cruiser. Fleet Command ordered some of our fighters to withdraw and authorised the deployment of the Noblesse Oblige and two additional destroyers.
All raiders were destroyed in a prolonged, bloody engagement. Hostile forces were outnumbered, but outclassed ours in terms of skill and experience, and were able to inflict heavy damage on our fleet. Despite the casualties, the PRF left no survivors on the enemy side and was able to commence search and rescue, salvage collection, and resumed regular operations in short order.
Result: Pyrrhic Molly Victory.
Long live Free Dublin.

To all soldiers of the Provisional Republic Fleet:
Due to the danger posed by the sudden activation of the New London jump gate and the unidentified anomaly forming within, all units are instructed to maintain a minimum distance of at least 5 klicks from the gate wreck at all times. All patrol paths are to be adjusted accordingly.
Any units operating in the gate wreck's vicinity will be issued additional protective equipment.

Subject: Gallic Affairs
Good evening.
We've been probing the Gallic market for gold shipping, and since we're not exactly welcome there, it seems we've garnered interest from local authorities. Said authorities ended up being Gallic National Intelligence assets with a proposition for the Assembly, which I am relaying now.
They want our intel on Bretonian movements. They also want to be able to station GNI assets on one of our bases, ostensibly to conduct recon on the Crownies.
In exchange, they're prepared to offer access to Gallia for our shipping, as well as access to an up-and-coming Gallic trading station in Tau-23. Of course, I did not agree to anything on the spot, seeing as working with spooks, especially Gallic spooks, might be a tad controversial for parts of out movement. But it may be worth considering - Gallia pays well for gold, indeed.
I am attaching the relevant logs for your review. They let us go without incident, but they're going to be expecting some form of answer in the future. Until then, further trips into Gallia may have to be suspended.
Long live Free Dublin.

[12.06.2024 21:13:41] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Yeah, sure.
[12.06.2024 21:14:03] GNI/-"Duke.V": Appreciate it.

[12.06.2024 21:14:26] GNI/-"Duke.V": Oh nothing *too* complicated.
[12.06.2024 21:14:29] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Hopefully.
[12.06.2024 21:14:34] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: I'm all ears.
[12.06.2024 21:14:58] GNI/-"Duke.V": Consider it an olive branch as it were.
[12.06.2024 21:15:29] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: An olive branch for whom?
[12.06.2024 21:15:32] GNI/-"Duke.V": You Mollys clearly don't have an issue *trading* with Gallia these days.
[12.06.2024 21:15:48] GNI/-"Duke.V": So I'm curious as to if you would be willing to trade in mmore than resources.
[12.06.2024 21:16:07] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: If Gallia happily welcomes us, then we happily come here.
[12.06.2024 21:16:11] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: These are strange times indeed.
[12.06.2024 21:16:21] GNI/-"Duke.V": Oui, that is the issue as it were.

[12.06.2024 21:16:42] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: I see.
[12.06.2024 21:16:48] GNI/-"Duke.V": But I don't care about that.
[12.06.2024 21:17:25] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: And is there any way to change this? So we will be allowed to enter Gallia freely in the future?!
[12.06.2024 21:17:30] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: So what do you care about?
[12.06.2024 21:17:32] GNI/-"Duke.V": I'm more interested in seeing if your movement can be of use to us. That being the GGNI.
[12.06.2024 21:17:38] [OOC] GNI/-"Duke.V": GNI*
[12.06.2024 21:18:38] GNI/-"Duke.V": Oui, I could see about letting your people have access to Gallia, but we would need something in return.
[12.06.2024 21:19:03] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: I assume that gold alone is not enough. So what are you thinking about?
[12.06.2024 21:19:35] GNI/-"Duke.V": Something far more valuable than Gold, to those that use it properly.
[12.06.2024 21:19:39] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Being used as a pawn by one of the Houses, why does that sound familiar.
[12.06.2024 21:20:05] GNI/-"Duke.V": I seek two things, one is much easier for you to give than the other.
[12.06.2024 21:20:12] GNI/-"Duke.V": Information, and access.
[12.06.2024 21:20:24] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Alright.
[12.06.2024 21:20:43] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: What sort of info?
[12.06.2024 21:20:54] GNI/-"Duke.V": On what your enemies are up to.
[12.06.2024 21:21:05] GNI/-"Duke.V": That being the Bretonian crown.
[12.06.2024 21:21:07] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: That's a long list.
[12.06.2024 21:21:29] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Oh. Well.
[12.06.2024 21:21:33] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: They want to get back Dublin. We are facing daily incursions into our home.
[12.06.2024 21:22:00] GNI/-"Duke.V": Yes, that much I can read on the news on Freport 6.
[12.06.2024 21:22:10] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: They try to hide it, but they are running slowly out of gold. They are panicking.
[12.06.2024 21:22:35] GNI/-"Duke.V": Hah, excellent.
[12.06.2024 21:22:46] GNI/-Sexarborius: Bonsoir. Six Trees reporting.
[12.06.2024 21:22:51] GNI/-Sexarborius: Gentlemen of the South.

[12.06.2024 21:23:13] GNI/-"Duke.V": I take it you wouldn't mind establishing more regular updates on their activites?
[12.06.2024 21:23:48] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: About this exchange of informations, we can't decide on our own now. We have to pass this informations to those who -
[12.06.2024 21:23:53] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Probably not. But I'm not the person to ask for this sort of stuff. We're just traders.
[12.06.2024 21:23:54] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: decide about such things.
[12.06.2024 21:24:08] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Yeah. That.
[12.06.2024 21:24:25] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: But personally i see these as something which can benefit both side.
[12.06.2024 21:24:26] GNI/-"Duke.V": I understand, I had a similar interaction with some Blood Dragons not too long ago.
[12.06.2024 21:24:41] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: So what's the other bit? Something about access?
[12.06.2024 21:24:52] GNI/-Sexarborius: What an interesting thing, to meet Mollys from up close. After all these years...
[12.06.2024 21:24:57] GNI/-"Duke.V": Pass the word along to those of your movement that can speak on your groups behalf.
[12.06.2024 21:25:05] GNI/-"Duke.V": Ah, yes, the access.
[12.06.2024 21:25:26] GNI/-"Duke.V": This one is more, quid pro quo.
[12.06.2024 21:25:46] GNI/-"Duke.V": We allow access to Gallia, you allow the GNI to operate off of Molly facilities.
[12.06.2024 21:26:11] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: What, like our secret bases?
[12.06.2024 21:26:15] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Hmm.
[12.06.2024 21:26:18] GNI/-Sexarborius: It's a generous offer. One that would have served both our parties well during the conflict, I might add.
[12.06.2024 21:26:24] GNI/-"Duke.V": Well, secret is a bit of a stretchh.
[12.06.2024 21:26:27] GNI/-"Duke.V": But yes.
[12.06.2024 21:26:53] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Dunno. Leeds is still a sore spot for many.
[12.06.2024 21:27:00] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: And will be for many years.
[12.06.2024 21:27:10] GNI/-"Duke.V": I believe your movement relocated to someewhere else in Newcastle after the BAF took back Belfast.
[12.06.2024 21:27:25] GNI/-"Duke.V": That was quite fun, blowing up Belfast.
[12.06.2024 21:27:29] GNI/-"Duke.V": Good times.
[12.06.2024 21:27:42] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: You may or may not be correct.
[12.06.2024 21:27:52] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: Ehh, we feel differently about it.
[12.06.2024 21:28:07] GNI/-"Duke.V": I can understand that.
[12.06.2024 21:28:13] GNI/-Sexarborius: Leeds was the action of demented monsters. They've been dealt with since.
[12.06.2024 21:28:19] GNI/-"Duke.V": Oui.
[12.06.2024 21:28:29] GNI/-"Duke.V": We will put those ones to the sword.
[12.06.2024 21:28:40] GNI/-Sexarborius: Don't think the Union condones these actions. A lot was done to try and stop it from happening, but...
[12.06.2024 21:28:55] GNI/-Sexarborius: Eh. It was a big, big, ****ing mess.
[12.06.2024 21:29:18] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Alright. We'll see if we can work something out. How many operatives are we talking here?
[12.06.2024 21:29:21] GNI/-Sexarborius: We missed our shot working with you once. Let's not make the same mistake.
[12.06.2024 21:29:24] GNI/-"Duke.V": We would, of course, limit ourselves to only using the location in Newcastle, assuming you have one.
[12.06.2024 21:29:33] GNI/-"Duke.V": Not your home in Dublin.
[12.06.2024 21:29:38] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Naturally.
[12.06.2024 21:29:46] GNI/-"Duke.V": That depends.
[12.06.2024 21:30:09] GNI/-"Duke.V": We would send a handful of operatives at first, and possibly send no more than two dozen in total.
[12.06.2024 21:30:27] GNI/-"Duke.V": Of course, we would *supply* these agents.
[12.06.2024 21:30:35] GNI/-"Duke.V": And any extra supplies could go to your people.
[12.06.2024 21:30:39] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: I assume they are going to do more than just surveillance.
[12.06.2024 21:30:56] GNI/-Sexarborius: *Six Trees smiles* Possibly.
[12.06.2024 21:31:17] GNI/-"Duke.V": They would mostly act as observers, or possibly go furthehr into Bretonia to perform recconaisance.
[12.06.2024 21:31:26] GNI/-"Duke.V": We could send some of out more...
[12.06.2024 21:31:37] GNI/-"Duke.V": Action oriented agents to teach your own people our ways.
[12.06.2024 21:32:30] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: The Assembly will need to hear of this.
[12.06.2024 21:32:36] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Then you will have an answer.
[12.06.2024 21:32:39] GNI/-"Duke.V": Yes I expect as much.
[12.06.2024 21:32:49] GNI/-"Duke.V": Oh, also.
[12.06.2024 21:33:17] GNI/-"Duke.V": I can direct you towards a facility that is currently being used by groups like yours.
[12.06.2024 21:33:30] GNI/-"Duke.V": To access the Gallic market without going to it directly.
[12.06.2024 21:33:35] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: Oh?
[12.06.2024 21:33:39] GNI/-"Duke.V": It is located in Tau-23.
[12.06.2024 21:33:43] RPA|PRS-Aonghus: Heidi: Sounds interesting.
[12.06.2024 21:33:54] GNI/-"Duke.V": They will be opening fully soon.
[12.06.2024 21:34:30] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: I suppose we'll have to see what they have to offer.
[12.06.2024 21:34:36] GNI/-Sexarborius: Let us keep in touch, then.
[12.06.2024 21:34:38] GNI/-"Duke.V": Port d'Amelie will be used to get certain goods in and out of Gallia.
[12.06.2024 21:34:46] GNI/-"Duke.V": Such as Molly Gold.
[12.06.2024 21:34:53] GNI/-"Duke.V": Molybdenum from Marne.
[12.06.2024 21:35:06] GNI/-"Duke.V": Things such as this.
[12.06.2024 21:35:17] GNI/-"Duke.V": You should expect to see them opening their doors soon.
[12.06.2024 21:35:29] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: A trading station, nice.
[12.06.2024 21:35:54] GNI/-"Duke.V": But yes, kindly pass word along to your Assembly.
[12.06.2024 21:36:01] RPA|PRS-Birmingham: We will be in contact.
[12.06.2024 21:36:03] GNI/-"Duke.V": We look forward to hearing back from you.
[12.06.2024 21:36:25] GNI/-Sexarborius: Excellent. I'm eager to visit.
