Updating the Technocracy of our Situation

It has been quite some time since the Technocracy and us had a chat, or at least the kind of interaction where they are updated on our operations and what we're generally doing. Tied up on the dock at Valravn Citadel alongside '\S/'Cygnus for general repairs before our next stop. It's very likely that our signatures were noticed as soon as we entered the system, as soon as we disembarked, a small group of Technocracy vessels met us in space right above the Citadel. Better time than any to give them some updates. We had a chat, info was shared, and just like our former base in Kepler, they fully support our plans to rebuild, this time within their home system. Guess they want their partners close, don't blame them.

After our chat, another Freelancer crashed the party. I didn't stay long enough to find out who Rebecca.Harper was, but hey, not my problem. I moved to the Freeport then later initiated a blind jump into Leeds.

[28.06.2023 22:43:19] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: Operator to Starfliers, we greet you.

[28.06.2023 22:43:35] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Jesus... what kind of ship is that? Also, hello.

[28.06.2023 22:43:37] A/)-ACV-Achlys:  O: What is the purpose of your visit?

[28.06.2023 22:44:02] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Looks interesting.

[28.06.2023 22:44:19] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Undergoing slight repairs on your dock. Also wanting to update you on operations.

[28.06.2023 22:44:40] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: Very well. Proceed. We will be wiring up a private link.

[28.06.2023 22:45:10] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Starfliers.

[28.06.2023 22:45:42] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: You mentioned a status update, hm?

[28.06.2023 22:46:05] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Yes, just wanting to make it concise, as you to appreciate this.

[28.06.2023 22:46:25] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Well, let's hear it then.

[28.06.2023 22:46:48] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We have purchased some transports, to aid our research fleet with fuel when it comes to surveying.

[28.06.2023 22:46:59] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: This means our work has become more efficient.

[28.06.2023 22:47:25] A/)-RV-Pentation: Salutations, Starflier vessels!

[28.06.2023 22:47:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: An excellent development. What of your home?

[28.06.2023 22:47:41] A/)-RV-Pentation: Research vessel Pentation en route to Valravn, over

[28.06.2023 22:47:58] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: But the bigger news is... we have obtained a "Hercules"-Class construction platform.

[28.06.2023 22:48:16] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Hello there!

[28.06.2023 22:48:21] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Ambitious.

[28.06.2023 22:48:36] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Greetings.

[28.06.2023 22:48:37] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We intend on rebuilding. I... intend on rebuilding.

[28.06.2023 22:49:04] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: I can help too, if you wish. In rebuilding, I mean.

[28.06.2023 22:49:35] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Do you have a location in mind?

[28.06.2023 22:49:50] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Appreciated, Harrison.

[28.06.2023 22:49:55] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I do.

[28.06.2023 22:50:38] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Within this system. Northern end, near the Cortez rift.

[28.06.2023 22:51:10] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Not a location we can recommend, if you mean next to the Cortez anomaly itsef.

[28.06.2023 22:51:36] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Close, but not within the minefield. I'm not trading radiation for explosives.

[28.06.2023 22:51:38] A/)-ACV-Achlys: C: However, we suggest it to be located in a more open space area

[28.06.2023 22:51:45] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The Ice Field may be detrimental

[28.06.2023 22:52:31] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I've had a pilot of mine fly around to get some data. We're thinking Sector F3, between that Junker spaceport...

[28.06.2023 22:52:40] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And the Cortez rift.

[28.06.2023 22:52:47] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: That's open space.

[28.06.2023 22:52:48] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: We will fully support your endeavour, however if you wish to construct more closer to Technocrat facilities, such as near 

[28.06.2023 22:52:49] A/)-ACV-Achlys: Elgin

[28.06.2023 22:53:24] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: There must be Technocat Representative permitted to work aboard to ensure communication.

[28.06.2023 22:53:45] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Do you have any construction plans in mind? Or is this just a general hub for housing?

[28.06.2023 22:53:53] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I agree, as that is no different to our agreement within Kepler.

[28.06.2023 22:54:34] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: No construction of any hardware, more a hub for information and research.

[28.06.2023 22:54:57] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Understood.

[28.06.2023 22:54:58] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Albert complains about not having his research wing anymore, since our exodus.

[28.06.2023 22:55:25] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And this time we may stick to a crew of 400. 800 in Kepler... too many lives at risk.

[28.06.2023 22:55:38] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Be wary of the possibility of Crayter and Bretonians harassing you. Though, arguably, more tolerable than a death storm.

[28.06.2023 22:55:57] A/)-RV-Pentation: Variant here. You do have a base in Kepler, Leon?

[28.06.2023 22:55:58] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Be sure to pass on information of the facility name on our private relay.

[28.06.2023 22:56:04] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: They had one.

[28.06.2023 22:56:17] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We essentially abandoned it.

[28.06.2023 22:56:25] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The ah... tsch... The other large facility behind Ames.

[28.06.2023 22:56:42] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: There's another?

[28.06.2023 22:56:50] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Your old one.

[28.06.2023 22:56:54] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Doesn't matter. I'm not going back there.

[28.06.2023 22:57:05] A/)-RV-Pentation: Why the decision to abandon your old base there?

[28.06.2023 22:57:18] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The storm.

[28.06.2023 22:57:42] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And the logitstical gymnastics for an independent group like ourselves.

[28.06.2023 22:58:03] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We simply could not move that base, even piece by piece.

[28.06.2023 22:58:51] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Bright side is, we know what we're doing now with this. I'm glad I have your support on it.

[28.06.2023 22:59:28] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Of course. Do not forget to forward the details on our secure network.

[28.06.2023 22:59:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Was there anything else you needed?

[28.06.2023 23:00:09] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Not quite... just the operations update and about the new deployment prospect.

[28.06.2023 23:00:18] A/)-ACV-Cepheus: O: Patrol concluded, returning to the main platform for refueling and processing.

[28.06.2023 23:00:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Wonderful.

[28.06.2023 23:00:45] A/)-RV-Pentation: Salutations, freelancer

[28.06.2023 23:00:48] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Hello, pilot!

[28.06.2023 23:00:52] Rebecca.Harper: Auxesian.

[28.06.2023 23:00:55] Rebecca.Harper: Uh,,,

[28.06.2023 23:01:00] A/)-Lazurith: New contact in-- oh.

[28.06.2023 23:01:00] Rebecca.Harper: Whoever the others are.

[28.06.2023 23:01:02] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: We'll be mooring now. 

[28.06.2023 23:01:06] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Inquire as to why Harper is here.

[28.06.2023 23:01:08] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Explorers.

[28.06.2023 23:01:21] A/)-RV-Pentation: Explain your presence here, freelancer

[28.06.2023 23:01:26] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Wrong place wrong time for us, we'll be going.

[28.06.2023 23:01:41] Rebecca.Harper: Same thing as those guys.

[28.06.2023 23:01:53] Rebecca.Harper: Just "exploring".

[28.06.2023 23:02:12] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Best leave then, like us.

[28.06.2023 23:02:14] A/)-RV-Pentation: And by chance, you'd stumble near to Valravn willingly?

[28.06.2023 23:02:21] Rebecca.Harper: Valravn?

[28.06.2023 23:02:28] Rebecca.Harper: That's what you call this place?

[28.06.2023 23:02:35] Rebecca.Harper: Or is that the planet?

[28.06.2023 23:02:38] A/)-Revenant: Oh, the drinking partner of yours, Laz?

[28.06.2023 23:02:56] A/)-Lazurith: I don't... remember ever mentioning that little detail. But yes.

[28.06.2023 23:03:00] A/)-Lazurith: Hello, 'Becca.

[28.06.2023 23:03:02] A/)-Revenant: New Tokyo.

[28.06.2023 23:03:05] A/)-Revenant: That's when.

[28.06.2023 23:03:07] A/)-Lazurith: Been a while.

[28.06.2023 23:03:42] A/)-Revenant: You should probably move on over to the Freeport.

[28.06.2023 23:04:07] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Revenant...? I guess their cloaked. Sure thing.

Godspeed, Pilots

First trade expedition

It wasn't long after I had reintroduced the "Albatross"-Class into our fleet that questions started flying around about making trade expeditions. Organizing this trip into Gallia from Liberty surely did solidify the fact that our pilots need to have a chat and catch up with one another. Flying long distances with a modest load or cargo to get a reasonable payout at the end of it is all worth it. I managed to get Harrison and Muliah, flying the Aries and Auriga respectively, to Texas so we could fly together and bring some Premium Scrap from Texas to the far reaches of Gallia. Travelles through Bering, through Rheinland and Zurich to Orleanais. Our travels has us bump into a pilot from the Gallic Metal Service - Patrice - who guided us the rest of the way. Space is full of amazing people, I'm happy they had the time to help us out.

[15.07.2023 11:45:05] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Ah, who is flying the Auriga today?

[15.07.2023 11:45:24] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  I have never flown anything this big before... Where are the brakes?

[15.07.2023 11:45:39] Luneburg: Hans: Quite a fleet assembling here.

[15.07.2023 11:45:40] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Pull back on the left flight stick. Nice and easy.

[15.07.2023 11:46:50] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Thank you for lending us some crap, Luneburg.

[15.07.2023 11:47:07] Luneburg: Hans: That is not nice to say about my cargo.

[15.07.2023 11:47:39] Luneburg: Hans: Okay, maybe its not the best of stuff but it sure is cheap!

[15.07.2023 11:47:40] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Ok.  This thing is massive, I think I've grown too used to my SCV.  Why did I agree to this again?  Oh yeah, rent.

[15.07.2023 11:48:03] Luneburg: Hans: Where are you guys venturing with that cargo, not that i am interested, just curious.

[15.07.2023 11:48:29] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Neural net tells us there's a market in Gallia for it. So we;re making a trading expedition out there.

[15.07.2023 11:48:54] Luneburg: Hans: Well you need to take care in the independent worlds, noone seems to care about anyone in these areas now days. These

[15.07.2023 11:49:08] Luneburg: systems are far from safe, with alsorts of wreckless behaviour going on inside them.

[15.07.2023 11:49:26] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Oh!  Hello Luneburg, sorry about missing the greeting, panicking and all.

[15.07.2023 11:49:33] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: We'll keep an eye out. Any undesrirables you have noticed in Bering at least?

[15.07.2023 11:49:47] Luneburg: Hans: Ah that is fine, such a vessel of this is not exactly keen to be seen by authorities.

[15.07.2023 11:49:57] Luneburg: Han: But rest assured i am no concern to you.

[15.07.2023 11:50:27] Luneburg: Hans: I am just looking for simple business, those who want my wares can simply have them.

[15.07.2023 11:50:47] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: We have the Aries docked on Chesterfield... they are going through pre-flight checks.

[15.07.2023 11:50:53] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Won't be too long I hope.

[15.07.2023 11:52:02] Luneburg: Hans:Seems that trip sounds rewarding i am almost tempted by it aswell, but living in the scrapfields is my place at the moment

[15.07.2023 11:52:14] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: There's our man!

[15.07.2023 11:52:25] Luneburg: Hans: I therefore wish you godspeed in the wreckless areas of your voyage.

[15.07.2023 11:52:37] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Ditto, Luneburg.

[15.07.2023 11:52:42] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Apologies, the low fuel warning was blaring across the bridge.

[15.07.2023 11:53:04] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Logistics... *scoffs* It's hard sometimes.

[15.07.2023 11:53:12] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: We all set to go?

[15.07.2023 11:53:37] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Doesn't help that Auriga took forever to get here. And yes, I am ready.

[15.07.2023 11:53:37] Luneburg: Hans: There is no logistics out here, we just manage with what we got from support from vessels wishing to voyage out here.

[15.07.2023 11:53:54] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Not even sure if these ships have a formation preset. Let's give it a try.

[15.07.2023 11:54:09] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Umm...  I think so.  I might have made a mess in the cargo pods with bad tractor aim, but it should be ok?

[15.07.2023 11:54:13] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: It works.

[15.07.2023 11:54:28] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Looks good enough to me.

[15.07.2023 11:54:37] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah: Wah!  Apparently I found the right button?

[15.07.2023 11:54:42] Luneburg: Hans: And should you require anymore of this cargo, you know where to find my ship of service.

[15.07.2023 11:55:22] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Glad to see the Auriga and Aries getting some love.

[15.07.2023 11:55:33] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  My license says I'm qualified for this ship class, but the cockpit doesn't look anything like the one in the simulator

[15.07.2023 11:56:11] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: I am also qualified, had some real world experience flying, while helping Leon here grab some coordinates.

[15.07.2023 11:56:29] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Largest I ever flew before this was a freighter.

[15.07.2023 11:56:39] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Are you sure it wasn't Albert?

[15.07.2023 11:57:04] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Maybe it was. My memory does sometimes play tricks on me.

[15.07.2023 11:58:42] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: I remember getting training quite some time ago to fly these ships.

[15.07.2023 11:58:49] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Umm...  Boss Leon, I've not seen you around of late.  But I did see Halpie in Tottori! 

[15.07.2023 11:58:56] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Still got it.

[15.07.2023 11:59:21] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Ah yes. I did hear of the ventures in Tottori.

[15.07.2023 11:59:33] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Enjoyed yourself out there?

[15.07.2023 11:59:52] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Yes!  But I couldn't beat Harrison.

[15.07.2023 12:00:36] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Guess the lane wasn't synced with your ship properly?

[15.07.2023 12:01:06] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Guess not.

[15.07.2023 12:02:02] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah: These are much more agile than I had expected for a ship this size.

[15.07.2023 12:02:09] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Tell me about yourselves. I saw your initial applications, but wanted to know more.

[15.07.2023 12:02:38] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Umm... You go first Harrison, I don't know much about you, either.

[15.07.2023 12:04:40] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Or...  I could go first?  

[15.07.2023 12:04:43] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Oh sure, make me go first. Gee, thanks. Well, not much to me, I love to explore, and sightseeing.

[15.07.2023 12:05:53] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  What's your favourite sight so far?

[15.07.2023 12:07:28] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Harrison? Favourite sight?

[15.07.2023 12:08:22] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: I am not sure what my favorite sight is, although I do love me som Tau backdrops.

[15.07.2023 12:08:33] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Taus are always lovely.

[15.07.2023 12:08:48] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  I agree!  But I was born there.

[15.07.2023 12:09:39] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: What about you Mult, you flew a Freighter beforehand, right?

[15.07.2023 12:10:01] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Who's Mult?

[15.07.2023 12:10:29] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Yeah, who *is* Mult?

[15.07.2023 12:11:01] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: My mistake, I saw your name come up on screen and I misspoke.

[15.07.2023 12:13:16] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Well, if you meant me?  Yes, I flew a freighter before for a small local transport company. 

[15.07.2023 12:13:47] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: And how is the Albatross treating you so far?

[15.07.2023 12:13:56] '\S/'Auriga: I was attacked and the ship disabled, causing me to breach contract and lose my job.  The freighter wasn't mine.

[15.07.2023 12:14:24] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  The chairs are bigger, but not as comfortable as in my SCV.

[15.07.2023 12:14:47] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Glad you're with us, Muliah.

[15.07.2023 12:14:54] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: I'll share my favourite sight.

[15.07.2023 12:15:25] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: Ever see a Brown Dwarf?

[15.07.2023 12:15:53] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  I don't think so, no.

[15.07.2023 12:16:30] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: A rare sun type. Halpert found one in Puerto Rico. I like going back there to stare at it.

[15.07.2023 12:16:51] '\S/'Aries: Harrison: Interesting. Think I saw one on my last visit to Poole.

[15.07.2023 12:17:09] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah: I haven't been there.  Where is Puerto Rico?  I've not seen any trade lanes going there.

[15.07.2023 12:19:20] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  This system is so pretty.

[15.07.2023 12:19:49] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: The sun reminds me of the Kansas system. And the Tau system with Planet Harris.

[15.07.2023 12:20:35] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  I like Planet Harris.  Not much there, but the weather is beautiful.

[15.07.2023 12:20:49] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Leon: As good as Curacao?

[15.07.2023 12:21:13] '\S/'Auriga: Muliah:  Hello!

Space Racing

Had this one sitting in my databanks, guess I should record it on this little handy dandy internal communications thingo. The other guys found a race track. A damn race track. Had to fly all the way out from Inverness to Kusari to have a little look see. No surprise seeing an Orbital liner a few sectors away from the northern end of the Tottoti System. Muliah and Harrison were already doing laps by the time I got there. I raced, had a bit of fun with the other pilots. Didn't expect mines though... and that's where I had this real fun idea to challenge Orbital to space racing. Ha! This is going to be fun.

Peaceful world with violent surroundings

Bonjour!
Today I have ventured to Shikoku to the Ocean world Junyo, where Samura is experimenting with microorganisms from some place called...Kurile. The planet is quite beautiful, a sea of tranquillity so to speak.

Its orbit is much less tranquil however, I have witnessed Sirian violence at the hands of three different Kusarian sides - those that call themselves GC, KOI and GMG, who they are I don't know just yet. Maybe I will stick around this House a little more and find out! They all seemed to be amused by my Arrow and its lack of weaponry. Maybe amused is not the right word for the KOI pilot, who tried to acquire me as a gun for hire.

Preparing Planetary Expeditions

Our routine flights around Sirius pickup various amounts of data on multiple subjects, our last one being the Neutron Star within Omega-41. After dropping off the information on our Research Complex within Inverness, I had the thought of testing our scanning suites on planets with different climates and weather to learn how to utilize our suites on many more kinds of items. Planet Elgin within Inverness proved to be the best subject at this time due to it being located not too far from our own base. Flying out there I discovered a Technocracy pilot was chatting to what I believe to be an Insurgency ship, though this ship was giving me mixed signals. Insurgency designation but Technocracy IFF. In any case this minor detail was not important enough to me to press on.

I asked the Technocracy pilot about Elgin, and to scan the planet due to it being covered in ice. I was informed that there are multiple thousand settlements on the planet, and one such settlement could interfere with my proving of Elgin. THis pilot advised to use analogue equipment as an alternative if the scans came back inconclusive or incomplete. I later landed on Valravn to pickup this equipment to start my ventures.

Cortez mapping

Good morning, colleagues. For those of you I haven't had the chance to introduce myself to yet, I'm Edward, the new employee. I've uploaded the cartographic report of the Cortez system, as per company protocols. Considering that it's one of the systems adjacent to our operational base and also the system with OS&C's main headquarters, I thought it would be a good starting point for our work. Wishing you all a pleasant day, and the first round of Liberty Ale at the SRC lounge is on me!

Dr. Batsak's Artificial Rift in Puerto Rico

Dr. Batsak. They have achieved something we have yet to do - generate an artificial rift. We had performed our own tests on the simulation suite quite some time ago, preparing to go through the process of generating one with the help from the Technocracy. Though this single researcher was able to do this by themselves. I admitted this to them in space, but I am rather impressed.

Their communication to us had us meet in Puerto Rico where they had showed us the rift. Readings of the tear showed it was unstable, and Batsak had advised the tunnel only works one way. Despite it not being part of my job, I had decided to take a leap of faith into the wormhole. My prediction was that I'd land somewhere in the Omicrons - and when I exited the hole at the other end, I was greeted with the familiar white tunnel of Omicron Kappa.

Batsak and myself talked more as we travelled towards Zurich. They intent on generating a second rift, though with careful tuning of the tech they used to choose there the exit vector is placed. I offered my help on this project, as it may be an accomplishment for the Starfliers.

Undecided if I should let the Technocracy know about this. About Batsak's success in generating an artificial rift, and about him wanting to do it again.

[30.09.2023 10:26:50] DSR-"New_Horizon": You should be able to notice as soon as we get there

[30.09.2023 10:26:55] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Constructed something? Out here? Next to the Neutron Star?

[30.09.2023 10:32:56] DSR-"New_Horizon": You can either enter the rift, or i can tell you where it ends. Your decision

[30.09.2023 10:33:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We'd usually send out our smaller ships through rifts like these.

[30.09.2023 10:41:15] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Is it concerning when the exit system isn't able to be read.

[30.09.2023 10:41:55] DSR-"New_Horizon": Well isnt this the best part of exploring the universe? Not knowing where you will be?

[30.09.2023 10:42:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: You are correct. We have a team decicated to such a task.

[30.09.2023 10:42:22] DSR-"New_Horizon": But i am working on predicting the end point for the next tests.

[30.09.2023 10:43:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Predicting? Do you mean to say you plan on creating a rift with a chosen exit vector?

[30.09.2023 10:44:13] DSR-"New_Horizon": This would be the ultimate goal. Having a fixed entry, fixed end and it beeing stabel from both sides.

[30.09.2023 10:44:28] DSR-"New_Horizon": This test was just a proof of concept

[30.09.2023 10:44:52] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I am impressed that you call creating a rift in space a... "test"

[30.09.2023 10:45:30] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: If you will allow, I am happy to work with you on this next project.

[30.09.2023 10:46:18] DSR-"New_Horizon": That why i contacted you. As far as i know, your organisation is leading in hyperspace research.

[30.09.2023 10:47:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Let us move out from here. Certain groups don't like the Starfliers operating in this sector.

[30.09.2023 10:48:13] DSR-"New_Horizon": You want to move to Omicron Delta and go Freeport 11?

[30.09.2023 10:48:41] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have a different destination. Independent worlds. Zurich specifically.

[30.09.2023 10:49:21] DSR-"New_Horizon": If you dont mind i would follow you there and move one to colonge from there.

[30.09.2023 10:49:37] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Zurich has certain anomalies that may help you with your next enterprise.

[30.09.2023 10:50:02] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Your artificial rift has inspired me to take a deeper look at Zurich.

[30.09.2023 10:52:38] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We are respected among the Houses, though this doesn't give us a free pass.

[30.09.2023 10:53:19] DSR-"New_Horizon": I am still waiting for rheinland getting back to me and allowing me to do test in rheinland space.

[30.09.2023 10:53:41] DSR-"New_Horizon": Somewhere far of Stations or populated plantes of course

[30.09.2023 10:54:12] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Tall order, my advice would be to stick within the inbetween worlds.

[30.09.2023 10:56:24] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We'll be passing New Berlin on our route. Maybe you can ask them in person.

[30.09.2023 10:57:12] DSR-"New_Horizon": I asked so often, even got in trouble for other test i have done

[30.09.2023 10:57:30] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Trouble? Other Test? How many have you done?

[30.09.2023 10:57:31] DSR-"New_Horizon": I got as far as to ask BDM and the Rheinwehr for cooperation

[30.09.2023 10:57:56] Death: WOLF_Drakon was put out of action by SCRA|Vadim.Biryukov (Gun).

[30.09.2023 10:58:01] DSR-"New_Horizon": This was the first. Was testing a new kind of equipment

[30.09.2023 10:59:30] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I see you carry similar equipment to the Starfliers own Bustard.

[30.09.2023 11:00:09] DSR-"New_Horizon": At the time of testing i didnt had all the papers. This is why i got in some trouble

[30.09.2023 11:00:22] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Trouble with licensing?

[30.09.2023 11:00:27] DSR-"New_Horizon": but now everyting is sorted out and i can performe test near my station

[30.09.2023 11:00:33] DSR-"New_Horizon": yes indeed

[30.09.2023 11:00:57] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I shall tell you about an encounter I had with the LSF.

[30.09.2023 11:01:29] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Bumped into one of their pilots in New York.

[30.09.2023 11:02:01] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Was using a visual suppressor at the time, and they fined me for using such a device.

[30.09.2023 11:02:27] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Liberty's laws allow for any pilot to use cloaking technology.

[30.09.2023 11:03:20] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I was not pleased.

[30.09.2023 11:03:55] DSR-"New_Horizon": By the way. This station here is run by me.

[30.09.2023 11:03:58] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I hope that the Government or this BDM don't do the same.

[30.09.2023 11:04:24] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: That would mean your station is... Arnsberg?

[30.09.2023 11:04:34] DSR-"New_Horizon": Had to /do some tricks/ to get the license to build it

[30.09.2023 11:05:00] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Quite the sight. Well done.

[30.09.2023 11:05:05] DSR-"New_Horizon": Yes with Arnsberg i fullfilled one of my dreams.

[30.09.2023 11:06:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: If you ever fly through Kepler, you may see the station that I was working within.

[30.09.2023 11:07:22] DSR-"New_Horizon": I havent been to Keppler for a long time. If i am there ill give it a visit

[30.09.2023 11:07:44] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Right behind Ames, Starflier Base. Our first HQ.

[30.09.2023 11:08:47] DSR-"New_Horizon": Would be interresting to do some test within the dark matter storm

[30.09.2023 11:09:09] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I am happy to permit you access to our new HQ  within Inverness.

[30.09.2023 11:10:31] DSR-"New_Horizon": Did the Situation in inverness calmed down?

[30.09.2023 11:10:43] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I don't know what you mean.

[30.09.2023 11:11:16] DSR-"New_Horizon": wasnt there fight between Zoners, liberty and other groups in the near past?

[30.09.2023 11:11:44] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Not that I am aware of. We only just settled within the system.

[30.09.2023 11:12:36] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Want to know what we discovered in Zurich?

[30.09.2023 11:12:56] '\S/'Arcturus: just about to wrap up lol

[30.09.2023 11:13:01] DSR-"New_Horizon": Sure, always interrested in new discoverys

[30.09.2023 11:13:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Don't take the lane. It's closeby.

[30.09.2023 11:14:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Allow me to triangulate one of it's positions.

[30.09.2023 11:14:49] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Somewhere this direction.

[30.09.2023 11:15:37] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: There.

[30.09.2023 11:16:44] DSR-"New_Horizon": Interresting. Looks like an annomalie, but quit different from the once i saw in Omega 11

[30.09.2023 11:17:03] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Much more powerful, too.

[30.09.2023 11:17:20] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: There are three that surround the gate on this end.

[30.09.2023 11:17:39] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: And another three around the gate leading to Picardy.

[30.09.2023 11:18:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This is what you inspired me to look into further.

[30.09.2023 11:19:14] DSR-"New_Horizon": I am interrested if they are the reason EFL Build the Gates right here.

[30.09.2023 11:19:22] DSR-"New_Horizon": Did you already perform tests?

[30.09.2023 11:19:53] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Not yet. I will be making a proper report once I go through my readings of your artificial rift.

[30.09.2023 11:20:29] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: It will be interesting to know what your find.

[30.09.2023 11:20:42] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: For now, I shall land on the Observatory.

[30.09.2023 11:21:16] DSR-"New_Horizon": Alright ill head to Heisenberg. When i got all my date sorted out ill send them over to you to have a look at them.

[30.09.2023 11:21:38] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Understood. Godspeed, Batsak.

[30.09.2023 11:21:45] DSR-"New_Horizon": You to Mr. Albert

[30.09.2023 11:22:08] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Thank you for showing me your artificial rift.

[30.09.2023 11:22:48] DSR-"New_Horizon": No need to thank me. Sharing is key in science

Godspeed, Pilots

Omicron Pi System

Anyone flown out to Omicron Pi? New strange weird looking rift opened up recently in Delta. Took a decent lap around the system and it looks pretty deadly if you're not careful. I found a few shipwrecks of some old exploration group, all their black boxes pointed me to some distant sector. Since I fell asleep for half of it, it was a long flight, I saw a couple bits and pieces in the location described. Zapped them into my hold. Got a couple of experimental weapons and another that looks... alien? I'll pass it off to the techno guys. They seem to know a bit more than us.

I know we don't exactly deal with alien crap, but this looks... alive? Lucky I got a cloaking device. I'll bring this thing back to Inverness.

Godspeed, Pilots

SRV-Sol
New Research Ship

This one has been in the cards for a while, only until now we were able to afford it. Welcome to the Starflier Research Vessel, designation "Sol"

This was an idea I had brought up with Burton before he got arrested for stealing one of the same "Enterprise"-Class liners from Curacao a few years back. Right now, it's a freshly constructed ship, without the internal components that would normally be filled with the luxury rooms and halls of Orbital's design. Thanks to Deep Space Engineering, they were able to prepare this one for us.

[Image: image.png?ex=6569b5ff&is=655740ff&hm=ecc...eight=1404]

Our next steps with this is to design holding bays for the newly discovered materials within the Unknown sectors. The same ones have started to be charted by our pilots. This ship will serve as both a mobile research platform, better equipped than our M.R.V. fleet, with also a generous cargo capacity. Our pilots will needs to run by Orbital's flight course to fly this one. One I intend to run myself too. At the moment, the vessel has been moved to Inverness, moored on our Research Station. I intend to contact both the Junkers and the Technocracy on the construction and retrofitting of our research equipment.

I will be posting progress on the ship as it happens here. Best to keep our teams updated on new developments.

Godspeed, Pilots
