Hand of Reckoning (MD) - Hand of Reckoning - 07-16-2019 Your trips into House territory are to be recorded here, even if nothing of value took place. Keeping record of our patrols is paramount to our operations. Keep the report quick and to the point to make these reports easier to catalog for head of division. Fly safe, Reckoners.

Outrider-02 and I began our patrol in Sigma-21 early the day of the 14th. Instead of a wide system sweep like we are accustomed too, we decided to make it short, skirting the Tonkin Cloud and the Northern star of the system, into the Annamese, proceeding to the edge of 6D within that same field where we maintained radio silence. As the Mekong is known for plenty of Rheinland Military and Wild sightings. However, what approached us from the cloud was something we did not expect, Two bombers from the Rheinland entity known as the "Alster Union" approached our position, the one with 'GEIST' woven into their transponder was assumed to be the higher ranking member, and was proven shortly thereafter. They remained as silent as us in a staring contest for roughly 7 minutes, whereas we decided to break radio silence, conversation went as follows.
[14.09.2019 17:54:20] :|R|:Outrider.01: New targets on the scanners, watch yourself. [14.09.2019 17:54:27] :|R|:Outrider-02: Eyes on. [14.09.2019 17:57:13] :|R|:Outrider.01: I understand there's most likely a language barrier at fault here, but why the radio silence? [14.09.2019 17:57:32] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Unknown signatures, this is Oberarbeiter of Die Alster Union "Kommerikut". Name yourselves, bitte [14.09.2019 17:58:09] :|R|:Outrider.01: Negative, We are pilots of the Hand of Reckoning, Outrider cell, that's all you need to know. [14.09.2019 17:58:52] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: An 'Outrider cell'? I've never heard of you. [14.09.2019 17:59:51] :|R|:Outrider.01: I would hope not, Rheinlanders knowing of our cell would be quite odd. [14.09.2019 18:00:02] :|R|:Outrider.01: Well, non-military Rheinlanders. [14.09.2019 18:00:29] :|R|:Outrider.01: So why are you here, Unioner. [14.09.2019 18:01:28] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: I assume I have similar things to do here. Lurking for something or someone [14.09.2019 18:02:25] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Actually The conflict between both of Rheinland and Kusari Nations has ended. [14.09.2019 18:02:35] :|R|:Outrider.01: We're well aware of that. [14.09.2019 18:03:06] :|R|:Outrider.01: Ours, however. Has not. [14.09.2019 18:05:06] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: I see an unknown siganture [14.09.2019 18:05:31] :|R|:Outrider.01: So it would seem. [14.09.2019 18:05:59] :|R|:Outrider.01: Wild are known to frequent this very cloud, would not be abnormal if an unknown signature were to turn up as such. [14.09.2019 18:06:48] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Shouldn't you catch and kill him? [14.09.2019 18:07:02] :|R|:Outrider-02: With what proof? [14.09.2019 18:07:16] :|R|:Outrider.01: Only to be lead into a possible ambush? Not to mention in a cloud that inhibits scanners. [14.09.2019 18:07:39] UN|Anton.Eins: ?: I've got an unknown contact, tag on and confirm? [14.09.2019 18:08:02] UN|Anton.Eins: ?: Heck, that's the Order. [14.09.2019 18:08:05] :|R|:Outrider.01: I suggest you keep your distance. [14.09.2019 18:08:45] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Ghost, arn't these guys terrorists? I don't have full IFF data. [14.09.2019 18:09:11] :|R|:Outrider.01: Are all order automatically assumed to be terrorists? [14.09.2019 18:09:20] :|R|:Outrider.01: The answer to that question would be, Depends who we're talking too. [14.09.2019 18:09:47] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Chill out, Arbeiter [14.09.2019 18:10:24] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *wary* You're speaking to Isaac Wojcik of the Munich Arbeitergesellschaft. [14.09.2019 18:10:34] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: This sector is full of Terrorists: Kusarians, Republicans, and the other junk coorporations [14.09.2019 18:10:58] :|R|:Outrider.01: If you're interested, we specifically target house governments for acts of 'terrorism' [14.09.2019 18:10:59] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Over there is Aktivist Kommerikut. I don't know his real name and I couldn't tell you if I did. [14.09.2019 18:11:03] :|R|:Outrider.01: You move any closer and I will open fire. [14.09.2019 18:11:19] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Uh-huh. [14.09.2019 18:11:29] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: We target corporations. Well, certain corporations. [14.09.2019 18:11:56] :|R|:Outrider.01: Corperations often contribute to House corruption, what you do with them isn't our concern. [14.09.2019 18:12:07] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *relaxes slightly.* [14.09.2019 18:12:28] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Good. We're not here to stick up for the status quo. We're Unioners. We look out for each other. [14.09.2019 18:12:38] :|R|:Outrider.01: So we've heard. [14.09.2019 18:12:58] :|R|:Outrider.01: Forgive my highly agitated and defensive stance, it is rather uncommon to find you here in Sigma-21, at least for us [14.09.2019 18:13:09] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: It's uncommon to find you people anywhere. [14.09.2019 18:13:09] :|R|:Outrider.01: We're quite accustomed to being shot at. [14.09.2019 18:13:17] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: You're rumours, mostly. [14.09.2019 18:13:26] :|R|:Outrider-02: For a good reason [14.09.2019 18:13:26] :|R|:Outrider.01: That is the way we like it, yes. [14.09.2019 18:14:01] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: A squadron of the Chort's Hammer cell, or maybe the Alster Union; their Gruen wing ran into a cadre of your operatives.. [14.09.2019 18:14:05] UN|Anton.Eins: out in Hamburg. There was gunfire. [14.09.2019 18:14:08] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: There is Rheinland - There is Unioner [14.09.2019 18:14:23] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: So we're not sure what to make of anybody who wears your flight suits. [14.09.2019 18:14:54] :|R|:Outrider.01: We do not represent the major Order powers as it were. We approach every situation with neutral standing. [14.09.2019 18:15:04] :|R|:Outrider.01: Unless of course, we're dealing with House governmental entities. [14.09.2019 18:15:14] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *He hesitates.* [14.09.2019 18:15:21] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: ... Huh. [14.09.2019 18:15:54] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Well, we're not a goverment. We don't try to be one either. [14.09.2019 18:16:20] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: You'd have to go to the Omegas, or across to Frankfurt, to find men like that. [14.09.2019 18:16:31] :|R|:Outrider.01: We vaguely understand who you are, But we deal in Kusari matters mostly, the Templar cell would have.... [14.09.2019 18:16:33] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Your skills could be come in handy, I assume [14.09.2019 18:16:35] :|R|:Outrider.01: a better understanding on the matter. [14.09.2019 18:16:45] :|R|:Outrider-02: Excuse me? [14.09.2019 18:16:49] :|R|:Outrider-02: Our skills? [14.09.2019 18:16:50] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Templar cell? [14.09.2019 18:16:57] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Sure. You're spooks, right? [14.09.2019 18:17:16] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Have you been in Sigma-Funfundfunfzehn? [14.09.2019 18:17:26] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: We've got an interest in sigma fifteen. Sigma twenty one. [14.09.2019 18:17:31] :|R|:Outrider.01: The Hand of Reckoning is comprised of three cells. Templar, Rheinland. Vanguard, Liberty. Outrider, Kusari. [14.09.2019 18:17:48] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Huh. So you're split into categories. [14.09.2019 18:18:05] :|R|:Outrider.01: Each cell has it's respective figurehead, makes managing our numbers much easier. [14.09.2019 18:18:09] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: We're the same; 'cept we're hundreds of cells with space-based capabillity; thousands more elsewhere. [14.09.2019 18:18:18] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Only the syndicates of the most powerful cells co-ordinate. [14.09.2019 18:18:39] :|R|:Outrider.01: That would be where we differ, the only time the cells interact is in regards to inter-house nomad activity and supplies. [14.09.2019 18:18:47] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: I'm of a cell; mine hails from Nuremburg - we're the Schattenjagers. [14.09.2019 18:19:16] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: That guy over there with the mysterious callsign? He's from the General Exingency for Informed Societal Trajectories. [14.09.2019 18:19:33] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: He's a spook, like you - keeps the rest of us working together and not at each other's throats. [14.09.2019 18:20:05] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *rueful* The only man who pays his bills is the Arbeitsdirektor. So much for Syndicalism. [14.09.2019 18:20:25] :|R|:Outrider.01: I would prefer every House burn to the ground before my very eyes. Anarchy is what is required to bring a government down. [14.09.2019 18:20:31] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: As Isaac said, we have an interest in Simga-fithteen [14.09.2019 18:20:37] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Yeah, we do. [14.09.2019 18:20:44] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: So, you're anarchists? [14.09.2019 18:21:05] :|R|:Outrider.01: We insight anarchy, we're simply wronged men and women of the order. [14.09.2019 18:21:20] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *startled* ...You're... seperatists? [14.09.2019 18:21:25] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Exiles? [14.09.2019 18:21:40] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: I'm not sure what the word would be in Bretonian. [14.09.2019 18:21:57] :|R|:Outrider.01: We operate on the fringes of the Order, we don't have much contact with the bigger factions. [14.09.2019 18:22:24] :|R|:Outrider.01: We're attempting to uproot the Core's foreign supply lines, Liberty and Rheinland being the main contributors. [14.09.2019 18:22:24] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: But Rheinland goverment wants to conect Sigma-Fithteen with Frankfurt. There is an inactive Jump Gate, built by Gallic- [14.09.2019 18:22:34] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: -coorporations [14.09.2019 18:22:37] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Then we could help each other. [14.09.2019 18:22:56] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Rheinland's fostering ties with the Core - the Core themselves have filled us in on that. But not all of Rheinland. [14.09.2019 18:23:17] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: And as you know, the majority forces of Rheinland concetrates here, in Sigma Sector [14.09.2019 18:23:28] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Rheinland's divided.... I havn't seen this much politics since the days before the Nomad occupation. [14.09.2019 18:23:40] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Part of it is the sigma war. Part of it is... something else. [14.09.2019 18:24:05] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: The Unions don't know much, but we're nervous. The Military Intelligence branch of the goverment appears to be... [14.09.2019 18:24:08] UN|Anton.Eins: acting on its own. [14.09.2019 18:24:25] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: It... publically pulled out of the war early - before the rest of the goverment made peace with Kusari. [14.09.2019 18:24:32] :|R|:Outrider.01: As they often do, Kempeitai and LSF are no different. [14.09.2019 18:24:41] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *grimacing* Yeah. [14.09.2019 18:24:53] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: A secret service not accountable to its own people. [14.09.2019 18:24:59] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: It's... sickening. [14.09.2019 18:25:28] :|R|:Outrider.01: It surprises me that you didn't know secret services serve themselves and the government first, don't care about their people. [14.09.2019 18:25:40] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *grim* I do. I'm a Rheinlander. [14.09.2019 18:25:52] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Not all the kids alive today lived through the Nomad War. I did. [14.09.2019 18:26:07] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: So. While Rheinland forces are here, in Sigmas, The Core Rheinland systems are weaker to react on our activity bursts. [14.09.2019 18:26:07] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: There's a new generation that's forgotten the mistakes of the past. [14.09.2019 18:26:19] :|R|:Outrider.01: So you mentioned you have interests... stocks... whatever in Sigma-15, so why are you here? [14.09.2019 18:26:42] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: There's a Gallic jumpgate in Sigma Fifteen. We're keeping tabs on it. Plus, the Bundschuh decided they... [14.09.2019 18:26:49] UN|Anton.Eins: want to take a chunk out of us for Hessian payroll. [14.09.2019 18:26:55] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: We're guarding against them. [14.09.2019 18:27:08] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Then, there's the GMG. They've been distabilising the Sigmas for centuries. [14.09.2019 18:27:18] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: We want to let it be just like it was. I could take a responsibility to say, that We want to cooperate with your cells in - [14.09.2019 18:27:22] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: They're not accountable to any people, house, goverment, or taxpayer. [14.09.2019 18:27:31] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: They just collect money and wealth. Over and over. [14.09.2019 18:27:36] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: -Rhienland and Blow the gate, before it will be active [14.09.2019 18:27:38] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: They deal in slaves. [14.09.2019 18:27:56] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: So yea' - there's a lot of reasons why we're out here. [14.09.2019 18:28:12] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: The gate, the Bundschuh, the GMG - but above everything else, it boils down to money. [14.09.2019 18:28:19] :|R|:Outrider.01: You're claiming the GMG deal in slavepower? [14.09.2019 18:28:20] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Peace is good for buisness. *ruefull* [14.09.2019 18:28:47] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: You can see it yourselves. They've got plutonium mines out in the north Sigmas that import 'labour' from the Libertonian [14.09.2019 18:28:49] UN|Anton.Eins: prison system. [14.09.2019 18:28:53] UN|Anton.Eins: They even advertise it in the news. [14.09.2019 18:29:14] :|R|:Outrider.01: Ah, I thought you were referring too.... nevermind. [14.09.2019 18:29:26] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Nevermind? [14.09.2019 18:29:54] :|R|:Outrider.01: The Outrider's interests end here, at this cloud, Sigma-15 is Templar ground. [14.09.2019 18:29:59] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Anyway, GMG is not the majority point of the conversation [14.09.2019 18:30:13] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *abashed.* Apologies, Agent. [14.09.2019 18:30:19] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Didn't mean to cut you off, boss. [14.09.2019 18:30:28] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Could we somehow contact with "Templar" Cell? [14.09.2019 18:31:01] :|R|:Outrider.01: I'm not aware of any other entity known as "Templar" in Rheinland, i'm sure they'd find an encrypted comm with that title. [14.09.2019 18:31:29] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Sounds a bit above my paygrade, boss. [14.09.2019 18:31:43] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: ...Metaphysically speaking - we're all Unioners, we all get paid the same wage. [14.09.2019 18:32:32] :|R|:Outrider.01: It's plain to see you do not wish to start conflict with us, that is re-assuring. [14.09.2019 18:32:45] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *chucking* There's no money in it. [14.09.2019 18:32:57] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: I see. When tell them to wait a message from the Union. I am sure that we will be gladly to cooperate with them [14.09.2019 18:33:02] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: If you were a Republican shipping pilot, it'd be a different story. [14.09.2019 18:33:18] :|R|:Outrider.01: But for all matters Rheinland, the Templar are who you want, For all things Sigma-21 and further North, Outrider. [14.09.2019 18:35:02] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Boss, I'm ready to peel out of here. The Sigmas give me the creeps. [14.09.2019 18:35:40] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Agree. I think, we've done here. It was nice to meet a non Rheinland Patrol here [14.09.2019 18:35:50] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Amen to that. [14.09.2019 18:36:07] :|R|:Outrider.01: Plenty of Naval and Maltese scum here to meet instead of Rheinlanders, it's not always a blessing. [14.09.2019 18:36:16] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *he punches co-ordinates into his navicomputer.* Order, if you need a contact in the Sigmas, agent Kommerikut here... [14.09.2019 18:36:25] UN|Anton.Eins: is based on the Freeport at Sigma fifteen. [14.09.2019 18:36:33] UN|Anton.Eins: He'd be your first port of call. [14.09.2019 18:36:43] :|R|:Outrider.01: Taking advantage of Freeport's neutrality.... I see. [14.09.2019 18:36:56] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: *grins* We Unioners have been taking advantage of the Zoners for centuries. [14.09.2019 18:37:03] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: They do the same to us, of course. [14.09.2019 18:37:13] :|R|:Outrider.01: I'm sure. [14.09.2019 18:37:38] :|R|:Outrider.01: Outrider-2, prepare for departure, we've been here too long. [14.09.2019 18:37:41] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: It's part of our history. Without the Zoners, we wouldn't have made it out of Hamburg. [14.09.2019 18:37:43] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Okay then. You know where to find me and there to contact to us. [14.09.2019 18:37:49] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Roger. Agent, I'll move when you do. [14.09.2019 18:37:54] :|R|:Outrider-02: Copy that [14.09.2019 18:38:02] UN|GEIST-Kommerikut: ?: Isaac. Be ready to depart. Check your systems [14.09.2019 18:38:16] :|R|:Outrider-02: Engaging Cruise Engines [14.09.2019 18:38:21] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Systems are holding, apart from the thermostat being stuck two degrees lower than I'd like. [14.09.2019 18:38:32] UN|Anton.Eins: Isaac: Spooling fusion torus. [14.09.2019 18:39:02] :|R|:Outrider.01: Rheinlanders sure are chatty aren't they.
