Yesterday I alone celebrated five years as private detective in Sigma systems and fifteen years as non corsair. Some people talk about that something happened to Freeport 7 in Sigma-17, I think I will pay the right people on Freeport 9 again to let me admitted to Atka Research Station and there I’ll find out what's what, maybe there’s a job for me.
<>
There are more and more people on Atka, they say some Freeport 7 survivors were taken somewhere to the Liberty space, this is bad, if there is any job for me, I will have to look for them for witness's testimonies. Also LSF agents arrive at the station. They are unlikely to be able to detect my connection with the corsairs, but I wouldn't like to be connected with the destruction of the station after serious check.
<>
Got several orders to find people who were supposed to be on Freeport 7. Strange but the more I try to find out from LSF agents, more questions they start asking me. There are fewer and fewer people in the bar who are hotly discussing about what happened to the station.
<>
I was mistaken, conversations are not just getting fewer - people for some reason disappear! Sometimes I liked to listen to a couple who were constantly discussing who and how the destruction of the station would be in the weather, but since yesterday they were not seen and records at the station say that they were never here... Something strange is happening here.
<>
Confidants at the station say that LSF agents are looking for me. For now I am hiding in the ship on which I arrived, it's good that according to the documents, it is not connected with me in any way. I was also offered a very strange way to escape the persecution, but I refused it for now.
<>
Hell, all customers of affairs related to the Freeport 7 disappeared. LSF agents put me on the wanted list among the station guards, I will have to agree to this "experiment" - an attempt to get away from pursuit. They offer to participate in the experiment of some scientists.
<>
Ok, I'm on the ship of these scientists. A confidant among Cryer Pharmaceuticals has ensured they can be trusted and will pay. The essence of the experiment is to be a "guinea pig" for their cryogenic systems, in other words, they will "freeze" me for 25 years, and then "defrost" me. I had almost no choice ... But they promise a lot of money for this.
<>
<=====>
<>
Oh-oh-oh damn, how everything hurts after waking up ... I almost punched the scientist who awakened me when he said that I was awakened 3 years later than the planned date. They tried to justify this by the fact that difficulties arose for the life of the ship's crew, but promised to compensate for this.
<>
I closed the contract with them, as they promised - I received a bonus for these additional three years, and also allowed myself to add the "starship" for myself. The ship is so-so, but it will fly to Leon Base in the Omega-41 system. With the ship, they provided me with a complete database of all stations, systems and jump ways relevant to 800 AS... But now is 826 AS - what a freak! I think Leon Base is still there... It should be!.. Now "new life" beggins!

PESONAL ENTRY:
Well... Some weeks after I came to Leon base they contacted with me again... And now I am on Gas Miner Ogashawa. As it turned out, there were only about a dozen real "test subjects" on the ship, the rest of the "sleepers" were a large group to compare the results. Also turned out that these scientists were related to the Gas Miners Guild and discovery of some organisms in the Omicron Beta system, but as it turned out, research in this system had not begun, so all their work was almost useless. And after all the sleepers contracts were paid, they turned out to be almost bankrupt - what idiots... How I laughed when I heard this. But after that they offered me a job and also invest money in their company, or rather even become the main owner of the company.
It was intresting. A week later, they sent a ship for me to Leon - so I wonder how they even managed to get here?! Although maps that they gave me - I think it was not difficult for them. I decided to sell my Titan and fly with them, offered a job like in the past - to find someone, but being a "corsair" among GMG would be risky, ha. How do they know that before meeting with them, I had not considered myself as corsair for a very long time?! I ended up on that damn ship again. It can be seen that they have already removed some of the equipment (I hope they thrown it into open space) and now this "liner" seems even bigger. As soon as all the paperwork is finished, this huge tin will become mine, I think something will come out of this deal. In the meantime, I'm just sitting on the bridge or walking on the decks of this huge ship (I shouldn't have sold the Titan, otherwise there is simply nothing to do, but I would like to fly).

PESONAL ENTRY:
A week or so has passed. Everything turned out to be more complicated than I expected... Although the liner belongs to me, nevertheless, in order to obtain at least some benefit, I will have to obey our new "company". It turned out that all but one sleeper (who died after waking up due to his personal problems) received similar offers to invest in the company. And now, because of some influential corsair in the past, my ship and the whole company will work (I would like temporarily) under the "Corsairs" identety.
The company has started paperwork. As far as I know, we will have 5 directions: 1) the study of alien organisms in the Omicron Beta system (interested by former GMG); 2) study of diamond mining in the Omega-41 system (interested the former Zoner and Corsair); 3) study of the Unknown-Tau system (interested by the former Outcast); 4) study of the Unknown-Sigma system (interested the former Rheinland Military and BHG); 5) study of the Unknown-Omega system (interested in the former Red Hessian and rumored to be The Order). I do not yet know in which of these directions they will direct me.
What kind of "investors" ... I think they will not shoot each other (as far as I know the outcasts in our company are against the use of cardamine and, according to the company, "don`t have an addiction to any drugs").
My ship was named "Tomayo-Point", although I wanted something related to "Leon". What else will they force me to do?... I think I will still be able to make money on this. But for now, I was sent to the Omega-41 system. Eh, let's see...

PESONAL ENTRY:
Two and a half months have passed. There was no time to write something down or no mood - I don't even know. It's amazing how our "Guild" (as they decided to call it) could not self-destruct during this time. I noticed that the Don of our "ex-outcast" group treats everyone normally and does not show arrogance at all. Huh, maybe I only met such outcasts because they were all under cardamine.
As expected, I was appointed head of development diamond mining in the Omega-41 system. I thought that I would just drive in the system on new Titan class ship while my "Tomayo-Point" liner was studying "the stones" in the system, but no! Shit! Due to constant gatherings, meetings and also the need for my participation in all stages of the study (as well as substages, sub-substages and etc.) - I MUST STAY/EXIST/BE ON THE BRIDGE OR IN LABORATORIES on Tomayo-Point. At first, we stood two... TWO MONTHS 100k from the neutron star on Leon base side (because "at such a distance, radiation is not dangerous for the ship and study" of fucking stones). And now we will stand on the opposite side of the star - on the Freeport 5 side . I at least started to understand what my department is doing, but it doesn't "smell like a lot of money for diamonds" yet.
Eh...
The bottom line is that the system is dangerous not only because of radiation, but also because of possible attacks by Red Hessians, this is why so far it was decided to study distant points. Further, from this, construct models of the formation of this system (in other words, how the planetary nova arose). After that, consider all possible models and find "where the diamonds are buried" in the system.
Too much things which need my attention...

PESONAL ENTRY:
About other groups: the first group has already explored several coordinates in the Omicron Beta system. They sent alien organisms to Atka Research Station in Sigma-17 system. There, after consulting with local scientists, Guild made an appointment with some scientists from IMG. And during the meeting, the first and second (mine) groups were sent to a meeting on Freeport 10 in the Tau-37 system. Of course, I was glad to visit other systems, and when I had to fly through the outcast systems (especially through the Omicron Alpha), due to contacts of former outcasts in our guild, we managed to fly "seemingly" unnoticed. As the scientists from our two groups said, the communication was productive, but IMGs didn't tell us a lot because of our "corsair ids".
And again - I STOOD ON THE LINER ALL TIME while my group members were at the meeting.

PESONAL ENTRY:
After this flight, I realized that these studies of my group on the outskirts of the Omega-41 system allowed me to face my fear. When I was young and lived on Leon base, many unwanted persons for corsairs were thrown alone in open space to a slow death (on broken ship or escape pod) far from patrols or transports routes. I have never done this to anyone myself! And it was because of such corsairs actions that I decided to leave the corsairs and leave Leon.
But sometimes I did turning off the engine of my ship in far space and imagined that it would no longer will turn on... It scares me every time I did that, but it also "cleared my mind"...
Eh memories...

PESONAL ENTRY:
Again about the Guild: first group flew to the meeting on Freeport 10 in the armored transport "Thessia" with the second obtained batch of alien organisms. After this meeting, they sent this batch to Atka. As far as I heard "Thessia" is now helping our group in the Omega-41 system - studying "stones" closer to the neutron star, and also working as a mercenary for corsairs - "earning for the needs of the Guild."
Third, fourth and fifth groups study our three systems: the Unknown-Tau system - system of the third group, the Unknown-Sigma system - fourth group and the Unknown-Omega system - fifth group. Group of former outcasts, or as I call them "our Don's group" - the third. They restore the results of all past research and prepare a report for the guild. They had two liners at their disposal - about the same as mine, but their liners are re-equipped for "very, very long autonomous flights in space" (all that I understood from the description of these liners).
The fifth group (I will write about the fourth after) is engaged in the Unknown-Omega system, which LSF studied before Nomad War. The system even has two space bases and a small base on a habitable planet. And the funny thing is that, due to what happened on Freeport 7, The Order managed to lure everyone who was engaged in research in this system during the Nomad war and now Liberty does not even know about the existence of this system. Then they faced one problem and The Order decided to abandon this system, those who decided to stay in that system contacted with the company (which is the basis of our Guild).
The essence of the problem is that the path to the Unknown-Tau and Unknown-Omega systems lies through the Unknown-Sigma system, but now the path from this system is UNSTABLE. Fourth group of ex-Rheinland Military and "rabid" ex-Bounty Hunters Guild pilots from omicron systems are investigating this issue. In general, in the future they will have to deal with the entire Unknown-Tau system, but at the moment the topic of "unstable jump hole" is a question of the first importance. I heard that in their system there are a couple of planets and some kind of asteroid ring around the sun, someone from my group joked that if it looks like "stones" in the Omega-41 system, then they can send us there... ONLY OVER MY DEAD BODY.
In short, these three groups work together. They managed to hatch one Large Transport "Arta I". Which, after repair, flies somewhere in omicron systems. Several more similar transports are next in line, and then they will be ready to pull Don's liners out of there. Eh... As I understood it is easy to get into Unknown-Sigma, but getting out of there is problematic.
For the Guild, this is a top concern - the guild councilors said that in five years all three systems would run out of food. Over the past two years, their ration has been cut by a third. I saw photos of people from one of bases - people are very thin... But thanks to a group of ex-Red Hessians (who are in the fifth group), food supplies have resumed (surprisingly on Saber ships).
I found that The Order has a bunch of ships in the Unknown-Omega system: about 20-30 Large Transports and about the same number of old Liberty ships Patriot and Defender types, but due to the fact that the old ones are outdated - an unstable jump hole simply tears them apart during the transition. The fifth group lost 19 people who were completely desperate because of the lack of food and flew through this jump hole "for good luck".
I am so tired do nothing on this liner when other groups are busy in space... STONES, STONES and STONES.
