Good evening.

My name is Kurt and I'm told you want to enlist my crew's services in acquiring a pair of these bad boys for your own ends. That can be arranged, but we may need some time to get them. Depending on the circumstances, about three to six weeks, if that's acceptable.

So what are you offering us for this job?

Regards,
Kurt Weinbaum

Signor Weinbaum

Proprio cosi, these are exactly the ships I would like to purchase. I am well aware of the potential difficulties involved in acquiring them - can we agree on 80,000,000 credits for both bombers to grease the gears a little?


Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

Done.

We have an accord. Once the goods are in our possession, I'll get in touch with you. If I don't, we probably failed and you can consider the accord terminated. Either way, you lose nothing.

Signor Weinbaum

I believe our little verbal shootout with the Technocrat in California will require a more precise explanation and, above all, the truth. After all, I cannot stand bad liars.

Yes, my people did indeed worship the beings known as the Nomads in the past, but for most of history it was more of a sort of folk ritual tradition than anything more serious. My people called them the Spirits back then. It was only a few years ago that a group worshipping the Nomads more directly came into being. However, it is also true that for the first time in the history of our people, we took up arms against each other and got rid of them, branding the Nomads as our existential threat once and for all.

And to give due weight to my claims about the Technocrats, I will attach to this report the footage from my own ship that shows their leader, Revenant. I will not repeat the same mistake as the Order Overwatch and claim they are infected by the Nomads without any concrete evidence. However, it is at most clear from that footage that their leader is not the most mentally stable person nor the most responsible - her curiosity is clearly strong enough to suppress any morality about summoning Nomads and their infected ships into a borderworld system like Kepler.

Unless they change their ways dramatically, they and their predictable lies are a threat.


Flight Log: Kepler 13-05-829 Wrote:We have been near Ames station when we the Technocrat, A/)Revenant, arrived into the NFZ from the northern part of Kepler and freelancers Rancor and Gossamer.II joined in soon after. Suddenly, the Technocrat started moving towards the Three Eyed Prophet and others followed them. Suspicious of them, especially the Technocrat, we have decided to follow them and we were prepared to record whatever they would be doing as they stopped only a short distance away from the Prophet.
After a short while, the Technocrat opened a rift and an alien infested gallic battleship appeared at the scene and other aliens appeared from the anomaly. Their weaponry proved to be potent and we had to withdraw. Rancor ran away as soon as these events started happening, but the Technocrat and Gossamer remained on site, largerly undisturbed by the events.

Audio logs are attached bellow.


Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

Hello again.

Thanks for being upfront. I appreciate this little insight into the Technocrats' past. Their habit of observing our ships as they go about their tasks is a concern in and of itself. So is their willingness to spill whatever intel they have managed to gather on us to third parties.

As you may know, our Code forbids knowingly aiding Nomad puppets. Now, most people have never seen a living Nomad, and the events of the Nomad War are starting to fade from living memory. So we're all a little rusty at recognizing the signs, but I'd say that flight log is more than a little damning... assuming it isn't fabricated. I mean no offense, of course.

I'm willing to trust your word on this, but there's also the rest of the council to consider. I'll tell the other captains to be wary of the Technocrats and whatever "assistance" they offer, but for now, that's all I can do.

Regards,
Kurt Weinbaum

Signor Weinbaum

I admit that I understand a certain amount of skepticism about evidence like this. I myself was in a similar situation when the Hispania Imperial two years ago - a very influential faction in Malta at the time - published similar footage of the Technocrats captured in the Omicrons, declaring de facto war on them. The footage is attached to this message.

I myself did not attach much weight to it and maintained a very cool and suspicious neutrality with them. It was only after the Kepler incident, which took place almost exactly two years later, that something very, very similar came to light and I had to rule out 'coincidence' - quite logically.

I would be wary of them around Rheinland - without a broader context about their suspicious activities they are capable manipulators, but fortunately, they are rather bad liars once you know more about them.

That is all I could say about the Technocrats, for now. I will be awaiting any news about Rheinland blackmarket bombers I would like to acquire for me own needs, Signor Weinbaum.


Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

Good evening.

I admit, I thought this would be easier than it turned out to be. Trust is a rare thing around these parts, especially towards relative newcomers like us. There are a few parties in the underworld that have the goods you want, but getting them to work with us has been slow.

Still, we've hit a lucky break recently with one of our operations and have been able to put some credits toward acquiring the following from our contacts, as you requested:


My techs have inspected the ships - they appear to be in good working order if a little used. We're ready to transfer them to you. Where do you want 'em?

Signor Weinbaum

Avete fatto un buon lavoro - you have done a good job. I would like to have my ships delivered to Barrier Gate C in the Coronado system, private hangar 7. The people I hired will be expecting them - all you have to do is to just mention my name and they will take them from there.

Once you have delivered them - do tell your account so I can reward you appropriately, per favore. We have been very helpful, Signor Weinbaum.


Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

Good afternoon.

I've been notified that your package has arrived at Barrier Gate C in Coronado and was handed over to your people.

The credits can be wired to HRZ~Bank. Pleasure doing business with you.

My employees have confirmed delivery of both ships so your credits have been sent to the account you specified. Needless to say, I am happy with the service you provided.

I look forward to further mutually beneficial cooperation, Signor Weinbaum.
