[message.loads - opening.visual-transmission - reads] ![]() Hola.
You'll question yourself as to why you get a transmission sourced out of maltese territory directly to your doorstep, but the answer lies not far would you ask the right one. You've definitly heard about the ongoing conflict within the Nacion, there's no need for denial as we've sent communications calling for all maltese people over open broadcasts sirius-wide, which we're sure you've intercepted. You've taken the offer and there's more of Orders ships seen in maltese space as before. Following your own agenda, alongside various other topics on your list to achieve - Ghost Administration is requesting a meeting with one of your pilots, one we all know very well, one who Order publically rejects being still alive. Golanski. On a neutral ground, without major Fleet and with a minimum of Special-Forces. We've to talk. Reason? Because I want to talk to the one person who'll soon enough be my most vicious enemy. Call it military courtesy to've spoken with the opponent you respect. For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts. Salutes. 'Stefania Casta.

Could it be that I single handedly replaced your lost cousins from Crete and those overambitious kids from Contari? You are well aware that if this could ever work, it would have been arranged on neutral ground... something like Freeport 10 when it is not in the middle of the warzone for a change. Golanski out.

[message.loads - opening.visual-transmission - reads] ![]() Surprising move, that undelayed response accepting my offer. Catched me for a moment. Anyways... neutral ground is Freeport Ten sure not, for the immediate proximity where you could have Fleet by without much of an issue.
I'd rather have it a facility placed within surrounding hostile environment to both of us, where people want to see you just as unliving as me. So that makes libertonian territory. Freeport Fourteen or any of the Junker installations. I'd personally prefer Fourteen, nothing will be there 'cept our squadrons. You'd want a peaceful atmosphere over a place where we'd have to make out our way together should we be cornered... then the Shasta Skyhook. Number of soldiers is limited to seven on each side. I take we agree that failure to comply with this condition by either side may result in instant combat engagement. I'll await your answer. And you'll have to have a gift with you, as it's an act of decency. For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts. Salutes. 'Stefania Casta. [visual-transmission.canceled - message.closed] [encrypting.signal] [signal.lost] RE: To: Order| - High Command - Omicron - 09-17-2013 ![]() Change of plans.
Freeport Fourteen is out of question. Delay in answer was caused by reports and verification of entire Navy battlegroup entering Alberta. That saying, Ames appears to be most suitable choice as of current. Security will be bigger but Zoners there can respect privacy. Golanski out.

[visual-transmission.canceled - message.closed] [encrypting.signal] [signal.lost] RE: To: Order| - High Command - Omicron - 09-20-2013 Kepler, a gap in treacherous interstellar nebula hostile to all life. In the relatively safe void between the clouds, Ames station stands as the only safe heaven for anyone needing to cross the dangerous wall between houses of Liberty and Kusari. The Order's party in silence arrives into perimeter of base. Four Bastet escort accompanying Hathor class gunboat, this time serving as a shuttle for dignitaries rather than tool of war. "Ames station, this is The Order gunboat Hammer. We are requesting permission to moor. We bring in the guests over."
Administrator's McCool promise of temporarily locking down the system brought The Order's party easier time sneaking in than ussual even if no one sane would seek them through the nebula. Safely permitted to moor, dark texture of Hathor's hull joined in with station itself. Admiral Golanski left the ship, leading unit of his soldiers through the corridor to greet local Zoners and discuss the last-momenth details that arose over time of their travel. It was commonly agreed between admiral and administrator to disarm all guests for the time being. Their personnal armors would be sufficient defense if meeting turned fiasco - enough for security forces to intervene. Only one thing was smuggled through, a so called "present" Casta requested. Personnaly requested to see place of a meeting arranged beforehand, admiral entered room with long table and two chairs. Admiral sits in chair designated for him, opposite of unnocupied equivalent on the other side in for now half-dark room. Deep in his thoughts, he calculates every likely possibility and consequences of meeting 101st or simply "Ghost" - as he called them - leader face to face. RE: To: Order| - High Command - Casta - 09-20-2013 [Four-Seven inbound calling Ames Research to initialise docking sequence patterns for immediate mooring procedure.]
Ames surrounding environment is not showing any sign of a ship, station radars would not catch any signature, yet the transmission was instantly repeated as no reply was given within a matter of what must have just been seconds. [Four-Seven inbound calling Ames Research to initialise docking sequence patterns for immediate mooring procedure.]
Ames overwatch technicians, unable to trace source of the incoming transmission, swiftly replied asking for identification, current position, status and intention. Regular line of action with incoming ships. Without further notice, directly infront of the stasis-field separating Ames control from outside space, the intruding ship shifts out of cloak. ['HundredFirst Orbital Dropship Four-Seven requesting clearence. Official convention with frames already aboard station.]
With permission granted and the gunship anchored, Ghost soldiers enter Ames and without delay, just as they passed the compression chamber, collide with the stations guards as they are requested to hand over their weaponry. Movement stops and Ghosts already prepare for an infiltraing push to take over entrance hall, as a sharp whistle could be heard coming from the background. Kelly. With a scant nod she orders the soldiers to comply, giving in their weapons. With no hesitation Razgriz' soldiers conduct the order given, then taking positions securing the hall and access to the pathways leading deeper into the station. Two proceed, following a Zoner guiding them to the conference room assigned for this meeting, a room in shouting reach to the entrance hall. Their guide explicates that they have reached their destination. A metallic door, more like an airlock as an actual stations internal door, indicating a room sealed off from the outside. Both are about to step in, yet right after the first passed the door, the second was ordered by a short signal to stay outside. The doors close with Kelly positioning herself right at the opposite side of the corridor. Estefania takes off her helmet. It is an unusual sight to have a Ghost Administrator appear in full combat armour same as the flying squads got. Though, it is not unusual to her. Every Ghost is a soldier. And every Ghost is to wear the complete armament since the transition that had put her into the position she holds. Estefania deposits the helmet on the table infront, then taking the seat facing Golanski on the opposite. An emotionless, a mechanical cold voice as she starts to talk... So that's the one Golanski everyone talks about, the fearless one leading Order to might, ensuring significant influence and executing power within their territory on the other side of the Keepers grounds. Quite young for such a rank, nothing unusual these days it seems. Won't mind I'll call you Michal, si?
Name's Casta, Estefania. Current Ghost Administrator. I respect your courage of honouring this convention with your actual attendance. Her view turns towards the door, knowing Kelly is there ready to ambush the situation at any given time and annihilating everything in her way should complications arise. Estefania concentrates her attention on Golanski again, a piercing look coincides with his, persuasively demaning him to take up the argument. RE: To: Order| - High Command - Omicron - 09-21-2013 Fully armored Golanski was already awaiting her, his helmet residing to his left on the table. Tracking the newcommer's all moves in the room from the beginning, Admiral listens in to her initial monologue talking about The Order executing their power in respective territory of theirs. It was to be expected for Michal that 101st will not take any chances either, for which he ordered disarment of both sides beforehand. Addressing one particular part of her speech, admiral clearly intends to state a one thing about his age.
"Appearance and first impressions may be fatal. Everything can be a lie or a deception. What makes it difference whether one gets killed by a child or an oldman... everyone can be a threat if given inssuficient attention." His voice meant serious business, no joking or making any impression of relaxed attitude. Until now, he was very stationary as he remained in almost no move. Now putting his hands on the table to support himself as he leans for a closer look, he answers her question. "I assume it is acceptable as long I can call you Estefania..." He took a brief momenth of silence. "The Ghosts... so you are the one who took over power vacuum created by inadequate individual to say it nicely, by name of Perez." Golanski held nothing back, freely insulting the one Casta took office from, himself expecting she didn't approved of him much either. "You are an administrator, successing not only him but Mancini, Garrison, Jameson... colorful individuals, especially last one on the list with his famous - beyond Malta - outbursts." There are two glasses of water on the each side of the table, admiral taking a sip from his own. He had his own ice cold with remains of the cubes still floating among the crystal clear fluid. Seeking to find out real purpose behind this conversation, he got to the point. "It is obvious that there are matters of utmost importance you wish to discuss, given you took the time and accepted all dangers related with getting in touch with 'most vicious enemy' of yours." He nods, in approval for Casta to say her part and explain the reason behind this highly confident meeting between the two hostile parties. "Please, continue." RE: To: Order| - High Command - Casta - 09-26-2013 Estefania, listening to Michals words, scans the room for any unusual aspect. This surrounding still is not to her likings, she is given an unknown environment, a location not secured by a battalion Ghost soldiers. Anything could happen, and everything she expects to happen given she is meeting Golanski, Order Admiral known for his ruthless attemps to eliminate any possible encounter he personally lists as a threat. Her hand hovers over her helmet, her look focused the visor as it mirrors her appearance. Most vicious enemy...
Her voice calm, unlikely for the temper she is known for. ...Given the current state of Nacion, you've heard about the internal conflicts that are rifting apart our people,... you've heard because I've let you know. And still, these words couldn't be truth more,... my most vicious enemy. As I know the path Ghosts turned into, knowing what we'll face, what is awaiting us in victory or defeat.
Your people, your soldiers, your whole life, apart from maintaining your power, is centered to counter what my endeavours strive for. Estefanias look floats adrift past the sight of Michal without really getting into contact with him. She knocks on her helmet and gets up to move, while her fingertips shuffle its surface, towards the end of the table. Jameson was a genius mind. His fields of execution and his unmatched will to push through obstacles,... a legacy to uphold that's nothing for the weak or those just administrating Nacion, those you mentioned, last of them being Perez. Their thoughts bound to the present, not mentioning the far future, the unimaginable possibilities we'll just have to bend to our agenda.
You'd call it to pact with the devil I believe. She suddenly turns around, both hands on the desks edge, now directly aimed at Golanski, with a voice fully matching her inner temper she had to hold for so long over the past occuring events. You feel safe, you feel secure. Think your position holds enough significance so you're out of reach for what's coming upon mankind, think your efforts might turn the tide favouring your desired outcome. But that's not the case, that's not how it's going to be. There's times you've to stay on course and there's times you've to adapt. When your wings burn and what you see is falling up, your moves shall account on eternal measure. And with that day upfront, none what you call dangers will hold any Ghost at place when the light of delusion will finally fall upon those who had built it as their home.
Her fingertips again shuffling over the boards surface, Estefania walks around to the side Golanski is sitting, her look not leaving his eyes following her movement, until she holds next to Michal, reclining and both her hands based behind her back on the desk. Her voice contains a personal feeling, a subliminal characteristics as when friends would speak. Military courtesy. A ritual quite unknown to todays commanders. You said it yourself... Everything can be a lie or a deception. I'd take that further. Everything is deception. We're not to seek the answer, but to find the right question, si? RE: To: Order| - High Command - Omicron - 09-26-2013 Admiral Golanski smiled wide, seemingly amused hearing interpretation of The Order's purpose by 101st best and finest. Seeming to relax in his chair, his true attention has not dropped a single bit to not let his guard down in case of an ambush. He is confident enough to have a good fighting chance in his The Order made armor, looking far more durable in comparison to light Maltesan equivalent, meant for fast close quarter actions.
Putting his open helmet on to hear reports of his people standing outside alongside the main conversation in the conferention room. As she has stopped talking, changing the subject to military traditions of old, he decided to correct Casta in his own way. "I, Admiral Golanski of The Order, might perhaps be your enemy number one or at least in the very top of your list. No doubt my efforts seem to be solely related to stop everything not only Ghosts but entire Maltesan nation strives for centuries already." His tone underlined his amusement for the number one enemy fact of her, changing back to serious in order to build a momentum for the right part of his speech. Not for a single momenth he left her from his sight, his facial expressions leaving insufficient data on his emotional state besides his acting for purpose. "Unfortunatelly, I have to dissapoint you in this fact. You are indeed high on my list but you are not qualifying to be counted among the true players in this game for writing future cards of history of Sirius sector for millenias to come. You are merely higher ranked pawn on the board of chess as position of your leader is reserved for more influential entities as you would have thought." He standed up, keeping bit bigger distance to her as if not to scare her about what is about to happen, unleashing unnecesary hellstorm in effect. He reached behind him, bringing a long sheated item to the table. As he started to speak, he reveals a longer than ussual combat knife. Admiral presents it in non-aggresive manner. "But before I go deeper into the subject, this is what I have brought. It would be a blasphenemy to hand over such a symbolic gift from my hands to yours for just a subpar item in return. You see, this is not just a regular knife as million others in Sirius. This has been crafted by our best from metals taken from deeps of Toledo before Nomads laid waste to it. Be it statement that we carry on and adapt but most importantly: never forget." Without waiting for what Casta has prepared for him, he continues to speak. "Adaptation is the only thing that has kept us alive. Flexibility is the only way we can achieve our targets. This is not a duty we invented as there have been countless responsibilities akin to ours that stretch for well over four thousand years into the past. We are among the most technologically advanced entities anywhere in Sirius, capable to use our knowledge in practical ways in several applications across our line of work - let this be our statement. Can a group that blindly depends on a single plant to build their entire civilization - the cardamine - say the same?" |
