Reporting Officer: James Robinson Date: November 18, 829 Location: TAU-44 Contents: Intelligence Report
Synopsis: Met with a member of the Golden Chrysanthemums (“GC”) and a member of the Outcasts to inquire about the Kusari Office of Intelligence. Obtained information about a new faction within the KOI (the =KUI=), KOI operations in the Kepler System, and shifts in Kusari Politics. Paid GC 10,000,000 for information. Outcast refused payment. Long-term recruitment of GC as an asset possible, Outcast less likely, but may be willing to pass information on occasion of our interests align.
Full Report: On November 17, 829 at approximately 1700 hours contact was made between Officer Robinson and GC, a pilot named redacted in the debris field of Tau-44. As Officer Robinson made contact with GC, MNS Amalfi (“Amalfi”), an Outcast vessel. It is likely Amalfi was shadowing GC to ensure they had no problems with the authorities as Officer Robinson had requested this meeting in advance. Once Amalfi confirmed that GC was in no danger, Amalfi joined the conversation as well.
Following the Kusari incident and the directive that followed, Officer Robinson sought information on the sudden shift in Kusari disposition and policies. Officer Robinson was given information on three different subjects.
First, there is a new faction within the Kusari Office of Intelligence, the =KUI=. The =KUI= consists of Azuri (their most prominent member), Yanagi, and Kampacha (there are no doubt more but these are the only confirmed members). It was related that these pilots are particularly lethal in combat, being able to take down elite Blood Dragon pilot with considerable ease (although they did sustain losses in conflicts with the Xenos). They are reported to be extremely belligerent and aggressive.
Second, the Kusari Office of Intelligence has been seen to make numerous forays into the Kepler System. Of particular note is their interest in the anomalies in that system and the wreck of a ship named Three Eyed Profit. This ship was torn apart by three Baxter-class anomalies. The CO of Amalfi said of the wreck, “The dead are still there, watching from the blackened windows.” The Nomads and their thrall have also been seen studying the wreck, at this time it is unknown if the ship's destruction was caused by the Nomads or if they are simply drawn to it. Also of note is the fact that two Amalfi’s knowledge, KOI operatives have not had contact with the Nomads.
Third, There has been a shift in Kusari politics, particularly in the Honsu system. The government of Honshu has been taken over by the Shimamori clan, governed by the clan’s namesake. The government can best be classified as a group of gangsters. The clan regularly hires thugs to do their dirty work, extorts merchants, and falsely accuse them of crimes. Their flagship is the Zuiryu, commanded by Shimamori, who is (for him) a rather unfortunate combination of arrogant, ignorant, and naive. He loves the sound of his own voice (useful if any of our assets ever need to stall for reinforcements). Other ships include the Zuiaku and slavelabor (an interesting aesthetic choice to be sure).
Also of note, the Gas Miners Guild has increased activity in the Sigma systems. They have become very authoritarian and belligerent towards all in the Sigmas.
Assets: With time GC could probably be turned into an asset for us, so long as we don’t request information on the GC or their allies. GC was paid 10,000,000 for her information. Amalfi is likely to only share information when it is mutually beneficial to us, and refused payment for information.

[17.11.2022 22:02:59] [SIS]-James,Robinson: good day to you
[17.11.2022 22:03:14] [SIS]-James,Robinson: i wonder if i could have a moment of your time
[17.11.2022 22:03:19] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Just exploring these wrecks out there
[17.11.2022 22:03:43] GC-Komadori: Must have been a big battle
[17.11.2022 22:04:14] [SIS]-James,Robinson: They do tend to be out here
[17.11.2022 22:04:33] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I wonder if I could interest you in a mutually beneficial exchange of information
[17.11.2022 22:04:40] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Seems like a Junker paradise
[17.11.2022 22:05:12] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Well... What kind of information. I am not that much of an intel expert
[17.11.2022 22:05:35] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I'm just looking for any information you might have on Kusari Naval Intelligence
[17.11.2022 22:06:14] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Hmm... Havent seen those lately.
[17.11.2022 22:06:32] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Occasionaly one of them ambushes us though
[17.11.2022 22:07:29] [SIS]-James,Robinson: One such, well I'm actually I'm sorry I just realized that in my haste I never introduced myself, James Robinson
[17.11.2022 22:08:09] GC-Komadori: Misaki: I am Yunoki Misaki. I am trying to think back when the last issues with Koi was
[17.11.2022 22:08:42] [SIS]-James,Robinson: A pleasure to meet you.
[17.11.2022 22:09:10] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Buonasera again, Gen'an. I hope you do not have any issues with this Bretonian over here.
[17.11.2022 22:09:32] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Not at all
[17.11.2022 22:09:40] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Good day to you, I certainly hope not, just a friendly conversation. You're welcome to join us, nothing nefarious I assure you.
[17.11.2022 22:10:55] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Molto bene.
[17.11.2022 22:11:00] GC-Komadori: Misaki: He was asking me about the KOI in Kusari, but lately they have been quiet
[17.11.2022 22:11:42] MNS-Amalfi: CO: They have been in Kepler several days ago.
[17.11.2022 22:12:19] [SIS]-James,Robinson: After anything specific or just general patrols?
[17.11.2022 22:12:39] MNS-Amalfi: CO: They have appeared to be interested in anomalies in there.
[17.11.2022 22:13:10] GC-Komadori: Misaki: that is new to me
[17.11.2022 22:13:13] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Like almost anyone - especially with Three Eyed Prophet.
[17.11.2022 22:13:39] MNS-Amalfi: //* the Three Eyed Prophet.
[17.11.2022 22:14:48] [SIS]-James,Robinson: New to me as well... I've recently come out of retirement. Who... or what is the Three Eyed Prophet?
[17.11.2022 22:15:24] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is a ship torn apart by the constellation of three Baxter-class space anomalies.
[17.11.2022 22:16:31] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is not natural - the dead are still in there, watching from the blackened windows.
[17.11.2022 22:16:58] [SIS]-James,Robinson: That is... both fascinating... and unsettling. I can certainly understand the interest.
[17.11.2022 22:17:13] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Probably unrelated to my inquiry but of interest nonetheless.
[17.11.2022 22:17:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: There is more than that.
[17.11.2022 22:18:15] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The aliens and their thralls can be see around it at times.
[17.11.2022 22:18:28] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Excuse me, aliens?
[17.11.2022 22:18:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: They are either attracted to it or it is their making.
[17.11.2022 22:19:01] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Si, the Nomads, the Spirits.
[17.11.2022 22:19:28] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Just how close have the Kusari been getting to the nomads? If you know.
[17.11.2022 22:19:57] GC-Komadori: Oh one thing I can you. A problematic group of KOI had been formed a while back called =KUI=
[17.11.2022 22:20:05] MNS-Amalfi: CO: There are not always there and they have not met any aliens.
[17.11.2022 22:20:14] GC-Komadori: They are pretty capable in combat
[17.11.2022 22:20:32] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Yet, one understand their interest in the are - it is on their borders, after all.
[17.11.2022 22:21:24] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Certainly understandable. Nomads never add anything to the property value..
[17.11.2022 22:21:52] [SIS]-James,Robinson: What can you tell me about these KUI chaps?
[17.11.2022 22:21:56] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Si, I have seen those kusarians in actions. They shot down a few Blood Dragons rather easily.
[17.11.2022 22:22:15] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Yet, on the other hand, I believe that they have been also slaughtered by the Xenos once or twice.
[17.11.2022 22:22:52] GC-Komadori: They showed up out of nowhere basicly.
[17.11.2022 22:23:18] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Our houses are ostensibly allies yet their intelligences services have become increasingly hostile, this KUI could explain it.
[17.11.2022 22:23:28] GC-Komadori: Azuri seems to be their most prominent member
[17.11.2022 22:23:36] MNS-Amalfi: CO: And they, as you sirians put it, 'mean business'.
[17.11.2022 22:23:40] GC-Komadori: But there is also Yanagi and Kempacha
[17.11.2022 22:24:00] MNS-Amalfi: CO: They do not waste time with needless words.
[17.11.2022 22:24:31] [SIS]-James,Robinson: This certainly sounds like the people my colleagues have encountered.
[17.11.2022 22:24:43] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Your Houses and their complicated organisation.
[17.11.2022 22:25:25] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Don't get me started on my house... but I digress. Thank you both for the information. I believe I have some more pieces now.
[17.11.2022 22:25:29] GC-Komadori: Those =KUI= don't seem to care for intel. More like a hitsquad
[17.11.2022 22:25:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do wonder why are you doing it to yourselves, but perhaps you like it.
[17.11.2022 22:25:44] /givecash gc-komadori 10000000
[17.11.2022 22:25:44] [2022-11-17] 22:25:47 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to GC-Komadori.
[17.11.2022 22:25:56] /givecash mns-amalfi 10000000
[17.11.2022 22:25:56] [2022-11-17] 22:25:58 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to MNS-Amalfi.
[17.11.2022 22:26:09] GC-Komadori: Arigato
[17.11.2022 22:26:26] [2022-11-17] 22:26:28 You have received 10.000.000 credits from MNS-Amalfi
[17.11.2022 22:26:29] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Well I served during the Gallic War and came out of retirement. So I'm clearly a glutton for punishment.
[17.11.2022 22:26:50] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I am not interested in your credits, Signor Robinson.
[17.11.2022 22:27:19] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Fair enough. I always at least extended the offer of compensation for valuable information.
[17.11.2022 22:27:38] GC-Komadori: I can use it.
[17.11.2022 22:28:00] GC-Komadori: So how is business in Bretonia?
[17.11.2022 22:28:08] [SIS]-James,Robinson: If any of you get anymore information on the KUI I would greatly like to hear it. I, of course, would never ask you to report--
[17.11.2022 22:28:10] MNS-Amalfi: CO: We just had a talk - and I am wealthy enough to not need it.
[17.11.2022 22:28:22] [SIS]-James,Robinson: on your own organizations or allies.
[17.11.2022 22:28:45] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Bretonia is... concerning. I can't say too much but I... I'm afraid there's a storm coming.
[17.11.2022 22:29:02] [SIS]-James,Robinson: It's the reason I came out of retirement.
[17.11.2022 22:29:14] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Your Houses is a broken engine.
[17.11.2022 22:30:02] GC-Komadori: If I get more intel on KUI I will let you know. Throwing a wrench in their dealings will benefit us too
[17.11.2022 22:30:13] MNS-Amalfi: CO:
[17.11.2022 22:30:19] MNS-Amalfi: //* Your House
[17.11.2022 22:30:59] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Why are you so interested in them, I wonder?
[17.11.2022 22:31:57] [SIS]-James,Robinson: It certainly feels broken at the moment... and to answer your question, a short time ago one of my colleagues was arrested and-
[17.11.2022 22:32:15] [SIS]-James,Robinson: interrogated by Kusari Intelligence... as I said... our supposed ally
[17.11.2022 22:32:40] [SIS]-James,Robinson: If these KUI people were the culprits, it makes a bit more sense
[17.11.2022 22:32:46] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The kusarians never liked outsiders in their House.
[17.11.2022 22:33:28] [SIS]-James,Robinson: This is very true, normally in the past if caught in there space they'd "ask" us to leave and escort us out
[17.11.2022 22:33:35] [SIS]-James,Robinson: As we would if they were in ours.
[17.11.2022 22:33:46] [SIS]-James,Robinson: This escalation was quite unsettling.
[17.11.2022 22:34:28] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Maybe they are not as good allies as they have thought. Maybe there is something you should not see.
[17.11.2022 22:34:36] GC-Komadori: Kusari itself had a weird shift of politics lately. They got people like Shimamori as governor and such
[17.11.2022 22:35:03] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Those are my concerns exactly.
[17.11.2022 22:35:29] [SIS]-James,Robinson: That's the problem with my business... keeping an eye your enemies, that's easy. It's much harder to keep an eye on your-
[17.11.2022 22:35:32] [SIS]-James,Robinson: friends.
[17.11.2022 22:35:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: And they had to be sure to know what exactly your agent has seen before they released him back.
[17.11.2022 22:37:43] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Not an unreasonable assumption.
[17.11.2022 22:38:03] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I thank you both for the conversation, and the information. I need to report in to my superiors.
[17.11.2022 22:38:07] GC-Komadori: Also keep an eye out for the Shimamori clan
[17.11.2022 22:38:17] GC-Komadori: They hire thugs to do their work
[17.11.2022 22:38:29] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Are they political?
[17.11.2022 22:38:33] MNS-Amalfi: CO: What is the Shinamori clan?
[17.11.2022 22:38:42] GC-Komadori: They are
[17.11.2022 22:39:04] GC-Komadori: I think they are they governor of Honshu
[17.11.2022 22:39:18] GC-Komadori: Their flagship is the Zuiryu
[17.11.2022 22:39:27] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Given that they are hiring thugs, I'm assuming they're not the peace loving, democratic, hug it out types?
[17.11.2022 22:39:40] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Ah... I already had my pleasure with the Zuiryu.
[17.11.2022 22:39:51] GC-Komadori: No, they even threaten merchants
[17.11.2022 22:40:05] GC-Komadori: And falsely accuse them of crimes
[17.11.2022 22:41:08] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Sound like lovely people... We'll try to keep tabs on them, see if they try to expand their influence to other systems.
[17.11.2022 22:41:27] GC-Komadori: Last time they targetted an OSC ship for selling me a travel up
[17.11.2022 22:41:32] GC-Komadori: cup*
[17.11.2022 22:41:50] [SIS]-James,Robinson: And by that of course I mean the SIS has no intentions whatsoever of violating sovereign Kusari space.
[17.11.2022 22:42:44] GC-Komadori: Havent seen them outside of house space
[17.11.2022 22:43:46] [SIS]-James,Robinson: If they're intent on expanding they'll consolidate their power in system first before they branch out.
[17.11.2022 22:43:46] GC-Komadori: There is Zuiryu, Zuikaku and slavelabor
[17.11.2022 22:44:01] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Perhaps because they do enjoy their privileges only in Kusari and nowhere else.
[17.11.2022 22:44:13] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Slave labor? This just keeps getting better and better.
[17.11.2022 22:44:45] GC-Komadori: That is the call sign of one of their thugs
[17.11.2022 22:45:02] GC-Komadori: apparently he is after bounties
[17.11.2022 22:46:04] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I am glad that I live in the Edgeworlds and not in Kusari.
[17.11.2022 22:46:11] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Sounds like an excellent candidate to get spaced.
[17.11.2022 22:46:40] GC-Komadori: He is
[17.11.2022 22:47:16] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do believe that these thugs will be easily replaceable.
[17.11.2022 22:47:49] [SIS]-James,Robinson: The further they get entrenched the harder they'll be to excise.
[17.11.2022 22:48:42] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The Gen'an have their ways how to outsmart them.
[17.11.2022 22:49:20] GC-Komadori: Well yes. He doesn't even know Kusari history that well
[17.11.2022 22:49:26] GC-Komadori: Shimamori that is
[17.11.2022 22:49:27] MNS-Amalfi: CO: If they would not, the Golden Chrysanthemums would be just a memory by now.
[17.11.2022 22:50:30] GC-Komadori: He studied in Liberty
[17.11.2022 22:50:47] GC-Komadori: So in a way he is an outsider in his own circles
[17.11.2022 22:50:50] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The Zuiryu was lecturing me on the ways of my people. How ironic.
[17.11.2022 22:51:11] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Yes he does that to hide his own insecurities
[17.11.2022 22:51:48] GC-Komadori: Misaki: I talked him into a corner when he didn't even know what a geisha was. He confused them with prostitutes
[17.11.2022 22:52:01] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Rather entertaining
[17.11.2022 22:52:07] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Ignorance and arrogance as two dangerous traits to have, especially in common. A weakness to be exploited.
[17.11.2022 22:52:21] [SIS]-James,Robinson: //*are
[17.11.2022 22:52:42] GC-Komadori: Misaki: So if you ever need to tackle Shimamori, you know his weakness.
[17.11.2022 22:53:06] [SIS]-James,Robinson: And so do you.
[17.11.2022 22:54:02] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Yet, he also seems to be quite naive.
[17.11.2022 22:54:44] [SIS]-James,Robinson: When you believe you understand the enemy you're fighting but don't, you tend to be.
[17.11.2022 22:55:13] [SIS]-James,Robinson: You underestimate them. Often a fatal mistake.
[17.11.2022 22:56:25] MNS-Amalfi: CO: That is correct.
[17.11.2022 22:56:41] GC-Komadori: You know when you make him angry. He will yell Kusarian at you. Even to foreigners. I saw him rant to an Outcast like that
[17.11.2022 22:58:06] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I would just let him rant until he blows himself out, a placid smile on my face the whole time.
[17.11.2022 22:58:28] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I am sure that I will meet him again.
[17.11.2022 22:59:20] GC-Komadori: That is what we do. We whistle victory tunes and fly off.
[17.11.2022 22:59:53] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I look forward to meeting him... I have this... uncanny ability to antagonize peple. Must be my winning personality.
[17.11.2022 23:00:29] GC-Komadori: You won't be disappointed
[17.11.2022 23:00:54] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I already had a discussion with him as well. A lengthy one, I must add.
[17.11.2022 23:01:43] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I do hope it ended with him leaving with his tail between his legs.
[17.11.2022 23:02:35] MNS-Amalfi: CO: No, it did not, it was interrupted by the GMG.
[17.11.2022 23:02:49] GC-Komadori: Namura's gang?
[17.11.2022 23:02:55] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I'd imagine that was most unfortunate for you.
[17.11.2022 23:03:17] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It was not. They did not brought enough firepower.
[17.11.2022 23:03:50] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Unfortunate was probably the wrong assumption given that we're having this conversation.
[17.11.2022 23:04:37] GC-Komadori: GMG is just very authoritarian these days
[17.11.2022 23:04:54] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I haven't crossed paths with them since my reinstatement.
[17.11.2022 23:04:57] GC-Komadori: They antagonise anyone in the sigmas
[17.11.2022 23:05:08] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It will be their fall.
[17.11.2022 23:08:08] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I spent some time in the Edgeworlds during my retirement... Sure feels like a lot's changed in the short time I was gone.
[17.11.2022 23:08:38] [SIS]-James,Robinson: GMG, these new Kusari friends... I need a program to keep up with all the players.
[17.11.2022 23:08:58] GC-Komadori: Well regarding the GMG, they act like a house with supreme dominion over the sigmas
[17.11.2022 23:09:05] MNS-Amalfi: CO: A retirement in the Edgeworlds?
[17.11.2022 23:09:28] GC-Komadori: Anyone else trying to settle there is attacked
[17.11.2022 23:10:02] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Retirement is a euphemism. I was captured during the Gallic War... When things started to collapse for them and I took the--
[17.11.2022 23:10:08] [SIS]-James,Robinson: opportunity to disappear.
[17.11.2022 23:10:30] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Well good thing you did
[17.11.2022 23:11:39] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I started to hear things from the few informants I still reached out to and was deeply troubled... and here I am.
[17.11.2022 23:13:23] MNS-Amalfi: CO: We will depart. Arrivederci, to both of you.
[17.11.2022 23:13:36] [SIS]-James,Robinson: To you as well. Safe travels to you and your crew.
[17.11.2022 23:13:44] GC-Komadori: Misaki: I guess I should move too
[17.11.2022 23:13:55] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Unless you have more questions
[17.11.2022 23:14:14] [SIS]-James,Robinson: If you see me alone you have nothing to fear from me but if you see me with the BAF I may have to... play along.
[17.11.2022 23:14:17] [SIS]-James,Robinson: I can't say anymore.
[17.11.2022 23:15:09] [SIS]-James,Robinson: No, you've been very helpful to me and I'm deeply appreciative. Safe travels to you and your sisters.
[17.11.2022 23:15:31] GC-Komadori: Misaki: To you too. I will contact you if I know more about KUI
[17.11.2022 23:15:47] GC-Komadori: Misaki: Or get some visual data you can use
[17.11.2022 23:16:01] [SIS]-James,Robinson: Either would be most appreciated but don't put yourself in danger to get it.
[17.11.2022 23:16:06] GC-Komadori: Ja ne
[17.11.2022 23:16:14] GC-Komadori: Misaki: I wont

A number of curious events have unfolded in recent days concerning the Corsairs both of The Brotherhood and of a relatively new group known as DTR. Preliminary contact has been tentatively established with both groups through chance encounters. The first was with a pilot of the The Brotherhood known as ''Nina Rodriguez'' who, after a brief encounter earlier during the day returned to Cambridge where I ran into her again. After a brief scuffle she invited me to talk, expressing a desire to know more about Auxesia, claiming she was no friend of theirs. An arrangement was struck where she would provide information to me concerning Auxesian operations she may encounter in return I would provide her with the same. During our exchange another individual made themselves known, flying under the alias 'Moonmoth' this man identified himself as Edwin Pennybrooke, records indicate he was once associated with our predecessor agency, the BIS. Contact is pending.
Secondly, the group known as DTR was encountered in Omega-49 where, after a rather unfriendly introduction, agreement was reached regarding information exchange on Nomads. Contact is pending.
[19.11.2022 13:35:51] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Poole seems livelier than normal these days
[19.11.2022 13:36:11] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: I rarely come here.
[19.11.2022 13:36:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You strike me as someone who really is only interested in one thing.
[19.11.2022 13:37:10] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Is that so?
[19.11.2022 13:37:32] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Lets be honest sweets, you didn't come to Bretonia for the food.
[19.11.2022 13:38:05] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You came for a fight, and for whatever reason you didn't smoke me yesterday, now today I hold some of your interest.
[19.11.2022 13:38:45] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Yesterday I was on my guards. I felt a trap but at the end it ended nicely.
[19.11.2022 13:39:05] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So today?
[19.11.2022 13:39:46] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: You probably catched my attention. Who knows. But right now, I want to know what you know on those Auxesia.
[19.11.2022 13:40:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Ask your questions
[19.11.2022 13:41:13] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: How do you consider them? Are they the most dangerous group we can meet?
[19.11.2022 13:42:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Dangerous is relative. You're dangerous because of your skill
[19.11.2022 13:42:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: they are dangerous because of what they know and what they want
[19.11.2022 13:42:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yes, in short, they are.
[19.11.2022 13:43:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Why? Partly ideology, partly who they work with
[19.11.2022 13:43:48] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: You see, each time I have encountered one, weird situations come.
[19.11.2022 13:43:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Like what?
[19.11.2022 13:44:10] Moonmoth: Er....hello.
[19.11.2022 13:44:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yeah...g-day..
[19.11.2022 13:44:26] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Once in-
[19.11.2022 13:44:44] Moonmoth: I don't mean to butt in. Were you having a private conversation?
[19.11.2022 13:44:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Who...are you?
[19.11.2022 13:45:05] Moonmoth: A resident of these parts.
[19.11.2022 13:45:09] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: *She seems clearly irritated.*
[19.11.2022 13:45:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That doesn't narrow it down. Your name?
[19.11.2022 13:45:33] Moonmoth: Edwin Pennybrooke.
[19.11.2022 13:45:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That name sounds....strangely familiar
[19.11.2022 13:46:23] Moonmoth: That's likely because- well. Probably shouldn't go into details on some aspects of my past with...spectators around.
[19.11.2022 13:47:14] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Well, you see, I was there first. Wait your turn.
[19.11.2022 13:47:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Mister Pennybroke, I'd be much obliged sir if you would...kindly give us a few minutes to sort something of a...
[19.11.2022 13:47:35] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Personal nature, out.
[19.11.2022 13:47:56] Moonmoth: Of course. If you're really curious, you can probably find something about me in old BIS archives.
[19.11.2022 13:47:59] Moonmoth: Very, very old archives.
[19.11.2022 13:48:02] Moonmoth: Good day!
[19.11.2022 13:48:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Thank you sir.
[19.11.2022 13:48:11] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Adios.
[19.11.2022 13:48:54] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: So... in Sigma-15, a weird ship was there and not only that but an Auxesia too.
[19.11.2022 13:49:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Come with me for a moment my dear.
[19.11.2022 13:49:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Define, weird
[19.11.2022 13:50:20] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Something as amalgam they said? Well, the ship had nomad weapons and weird transponding.
[19.11.2022 13:51:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: There are....whispers, nothing proven, nothing solid, but the story goes that Auxesia had advance technology because
[19.11.2022 13:51:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: they made deals with Nomads.
[19.11.2022 13:51:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That's the story, it's conveinient but not really provable
[19.11.2022 13:51:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Odd technology, odd company, odd rumors.
[19.11.2022 13:52:19] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Heh. Now I can have a good reason to kill them in the future days if I see one.
[19.11.2022 13:52:33] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Do the Corsairs deal with Auxesia?
[19.11.2022 13:52:41] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: No. Big no.
[19.11.2022 13:52:50] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Order?
[19.11.2022 13:52:56] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Core?
[19.11.2022 13:53:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We've seen them in the Omicrons often enough.
[19.11.2022 13:53:48] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Core no. Order, I don't know. It's not to me to say if we do deal with Order.
[19.11.2022 13:54:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You know revenant?
[19.11.2022 13:54:38] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: I saw this one several times.
[19.11.2022 13:55:00] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You know Sapphire Raven?
[19.11.2022 13:55:07] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: No.
[19.11.2022 13:55:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Same person.
[19.11.2022 13:55:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: She's the leader.
[19.11.2022 13:55:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Or as close as they have to having a leader.
[19.11.2022 13:56:07] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Then, it will be my priority target.
[19.11.2022 13:56:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Why are you so concerned about Auxesia?
[19.11.2022 13:56:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What did they do to you?
[19.11.2022 13:57:47] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Let's say I don't like them because that Revenant's presence makes me sick and well, they always talk bad of our people.
[19.11.2022 13:58:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: They talk bad of everyone.
[19.11.2022 13:58:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Trust me, Director Steiner has had much slander
[19.11.2022 13:59:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Look, you want to get back at Auxesia?
[19.11.2022 13:59:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You want to hurt them?
[19.11.2022 13:59:50] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Pretty much, si.
[19.11.2022 14:00:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Follow them. Anyone they deal with, anywhere they go, conversations, rumors, photographs
[19.11.2022 14:00:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Information is their weakness.
[19.11.2022 14:00:54] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Pass is along to me and I'll pass what I find along to you.
[19.11.2022 14:01:31] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Sounds like a deal.
[19.11.2022 14:01:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well then Lady Nina.
[19.11.2022 14:02:11] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I shall pass what I find along to you. Was there anything else?
[19.11.2022 14:02:44] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: No. It was all I wanted.
[19.11.2022 14:02:59] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then I shall bid you farewell.
[19.11.2022 14:03:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'd ask for a kiss, but I think I'll settle for my life.
[19.11.2022 14:03:23] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Tough choice all the same.
[19.11.2022 14:03:31] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: heh...
[19.11.2022 14:03:39] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Until next time.
[19.11.2022 14:03:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I eagerly await next time.
[19.11.2022 10:48:48] DTR-Sombra: Identify yourself.
[19.11.2022 10:49:17] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Certainly. James Skirka, Intelligence Officer, Her Majesties SIS
[19.11.2022 10:49:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: How do you do?
[19.11.2022 10:49:45] DTR-Sombra: What are you doing in our teritorry Bretonian?
[19.11.2022 10:49:53] DTR-Sombra: you far away from home
[19.11.2022 10:50:03] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Passing through, dropping these lads off on my way.
[19.11.2022 10:50:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Not that far my good man.
[19.11.2022 10:50:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: May I ask who you are?
[19.11.2022 10:50:34] DTR-Sombra: You must not be a good intelligence man if you dont know who we are.
[19.11.2022 10:50:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Forgive me, the Nuances of Corsair society are not known to many.
[19.11.2022 10:51:19] DTR-Sombra: What about our raids in Bretonia?
[19.11.2022 10:51:31] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Bretonian, you are not welcome in our space. State your business.
[19.11.2022 10:51:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What of them, exactly?
[19.11.2022 10:51:38] DTR-Sombra: Intelligence man.
[19.11.2022 10:51:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh, three of you!
[19.11.2022 10:51:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: My my.
[19.11.2022 10:52:01] DTR-Sombra: Drop our pilots amigo.
[19.11.2022 10:52:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Certainly
[19.11.2022 10:52:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Please do be kind enough not to shoot while my shields are down
[19.11.2022 10:52:22] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius, Hombre... Don't bandy words. He'll twist you around with mind games. My uncle told me all about the SIS.
[19.11.2022 10:52:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That would be rather unsporting.
[19.11.2022 10:52:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Who would your uncle be, if I may ask?
[19.11.2022 10:52:53] DTR-Sombra: All of them signor.
[19.11.2022 10:53:12] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Forgive me sir, I don't see any other Corsair citizens in my hold.
[19.11.2022 10:53:18] DTR-Sombra: Good man.
[19.11.2022 10:53:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Do you refer to the Nomad remains?
[19.11.2022 10:53:38] DTR-Sombra: What sort of intelligence are you gathering here signor?
[19.11.2022 10:53:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Here? None. This is not my area of interest.
[19.11.2022 10:54:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Bretonia gave up on this system when we left, and it soon became too hard to operate in.
[19.11.2022 10:54:24] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: He's telling the truth.
[19.11.2022 10:54:52] DTR-Sombra: Bretonians always lie. If he told me the sky was orange
[19.11.2022 10:54:58] DTR-Sombra: I will not trust it
[19.11.2022 10:55:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: May I ask whom I have the pleasure of addressing?
[19.11.2022 10:55:19] DTR-Sombra: At least he is polite that one.
[19.11.2022 10:55:30] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: I am Melius of the Corsair Imperio. You will not get my family name from me. I will not contribute to your logs.
[19.11.2022 10:55:50] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I understand, a pleasure Master Melius
[19.11.2022 10:56:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //terribly sorry, I'm operating like your char is male.
[19.11.2022 10:56:14] DTR-Sombra: He called you ''master'' *chuckles*
[19.11.2022 10:56:21] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Is it not so?
[19.11.2022 10:56:50] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: In your dialect, probably. Young, unmarried male... Right?
[19.11.2022 10:57:21] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Correct, although strictly speaking since you are older than ten, I should still refer to you as sir.
[19.11.2022 10:57:31] DTR-Sombra: Melius we got the advantage, should we take him? Or pirate him.
[19.11.2022 10:57:37] DTR-Sombra: We need to bring haul to the Executor
[19.11.2022 10:57:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Now now...why there is no need to turn this violent.
[19.11.2022 10:57:51] DTR-Sombra: Signora Nagash would be proud.
[19.11.2022 10:58:08] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Hombre. I don't like bandying words with this Bretonian. But operatives are rarely rich...
[19.11.2022 10:58:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Perhaps I can offer...a compromise of sorts.
[19.11.2022 10:58:26] DTR-Sombra: They get paid a lot, no?
[19.11.2022 10:58:44] DTR-Sombra: He is living it with the majesties probably.
[19.11.2022 10:58:49] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: How about we each exchange one piece of information and go on our way? Long as it's not too classified...
[19.11.2022 10:59:07] DTR-Sombra: What compromise?
[19.11.2022 10:59:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I propose an addition to your offer sir.
[19.11.2022 10:59:23] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: I am reluctantly listening.
[19.11.2022 10:59:37] DTR-Sombra: I am eagerly ready to shoot.
[19.11.2022 10:59:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I shall happily meet you at either a freeport or a neutral location, of my own free will, if one would be willing to listen to
[19.11.2022 10:59:46] DTR-Sombra: But lets hear it.
[19.11.2022 10:59:51] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A possible exchange of information.
[19.11.2022 11:00:01] DTR-Sombra: What sort of information you would have?
[19.11.2022 11:00:14] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Denied. We talk here and there are NO Corsican traitors.
[19.11.2022 11:00:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That depends entierly on what information you are seeking.
[19.11.2022 11:00:25] DTR-Sombra: Neutral location.
[19.11.2022 11:00:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Allow me to explain, in brief
[19.11.2022 11:00:29] DTR-Sombra: More like neutral ambush.
[19.11.2022 11:00:37] DTR-Sombra: where he springs his agents
[19.11.2022 11:00:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I seek not the information of your fleets or society.
[19.11.2022 11:01:00] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Certain...blue coloured fiends however.
[19.11.2022 11:01:08] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Now I understand.
[19.11.2022 11:01:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well now that poses a problem for us.
[19.11.2022 11:01:29] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Ok, I think we can see eye to eye on that a bit better.
[19.11.2022 11:01:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I will happily exchange what information we have, provided the director agrees of course.
[19.11.2022 11:01:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'm sure he will.
[19.11.2022 11:02:14] DTR-Sombra: How about an upfront payment of 1mln pesos for starters.
[19.11.2022 11:02:21] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: We have a common enemy it seems.
[19.11.2022 11:02:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A common enemy that became suddenly far too common for our liking sir.
[19.11.2022 11:03:14] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: I will tell you upfront. I have seen this enemy up close. But I will not exchange anything without approval.
[19.11.2022 11:03:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I understand completely.
[19.11.2022 11:03:28] DTR-Sombra: The Executor will need to hear this.
[19.11.2022 11:03:40] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Exactly, Hombre. You are dead on the money there.
[19.11.2022 11:04:14] /givecash dtr-sombra 5000000
[19.11.2022 11:04:14] [2022-11-19] 11:04:14 You have sent 5.000.000 credits to DTR-Sombra.
[19.11.2022 11:04:18] DTR-Sombra: I scanned his ship, nothing posing serious threat.
[19.11.2022 11:04:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: There, now we can be friends again Sombra.
[19.11.2022 11:04:26] DTR-Sombra: Got your money operative.
[19.11.2022 11:04:26] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Let me collect your "current" IFF and ID for our records.
[19.11.2022 11:04:56] [SIS]-James.Skirka: May I ask, do you have a relationship with The Brotherhood?
[19.11.2022 11:05:18] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Done. Thanks for the co-operation. I can guarantee that I will report this to my superiors.
[19.11.2022 11:05:26] DTR-Sombra: We know of them yes.
[19.11.2022 11:05:44] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: I'm not certain how, but I'm sure they will have means by which to contact you if necessary.
[19.11.2022 11:06:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You can always contact the Service Directly if needs be, Director Steiner will probably be the one to reply.
[19.11.2022 11:06:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I am always avaliable however
[19.11.2022 11:06:41] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: No communication from a Corsair will get through without clearnace codes.
[19.11.2022 11:06:51] [SIS]-James.Skirka: *Laughs*
[19.11.2022 11:06:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Sir
[19.11.2022 11:07:14] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Intelligence... Of course. *facepalms his helmet*
[19.11.2022 11:07:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We are the SIS, we often have dealings with...those whom the Government might disaprove of.
[19.11.2022 11:07:35] DTR-Sombra: I like the world in black and white.
[19.11.2022 11:07:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Alas it is not so.
[19.11.2022 11:07:43] DTR-Sombra: Shoot bad guys, raid and pillage.
[19.11.2022 11:08:06] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: Sorry Hombre, so do I. But my Uncle warned me that this is not the case.
[19.11.2022 11:08:07] DTR-Sombra: Make sure the Imperio stays strong.
[19.11.2022 11:08:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Gentlemen you have been more than accomodating, I thank you for your time.
[19.11.2022 11:08:21] DTR-Sombra: Survival is the name of the game.
[19.11.2022 11:08:31] DTR-Sombra: Well, he did pay.
[19.11.2022 11:08:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I shan't keep you any longer.
[19.11.2022 11:08:36] DTR-Sombra: And we got our pilots.
[19.11.2022 11:08:45] DTR-Sombra: Guess you get to live another day.
[19.11.2022 11:08:52] DTR-Sombra: Good luck signor.
[19.11.2022 11:08:54] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Much obliged to you
[19.11.2022 11:08:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Cherrio
[19.11.2022 11:09:13] DTR-Ephemeral: Melius: I would say "Take Care" but instead... Just don't die except to us.

Developments from the Kusari front today, contact was made with one Fiorella Arianna de Marco, captain of the ship Amalfi who also made an appearance in Agent Robinsons report. She is still largely an unknown although our conversation ranged from the personal to the professional and even to the slightly unusual. She is believed to have information regarding the Anomalies and is apparently willing to work with us provided we can gurrantee safe passage through the Taus. A situation made slightly more complicated due to the Maltese relationship with Crayter, Kusari's expanding region of interest and influence and our own relocation of assets. Nevertheless I believe we can navigate these issues and find a solution, although it will require no small amount of statecraft.
In short, if she is who she says she is, then her information would be invaluable to the Service and Bretonia, on a more practical front she also maintains contacts with the Golden Chrysanthemums which would prove useful to us as well as contact with Malta, something we no longer have since the conclusion of the Gallic War. Caution is advised, I am taking a great deal on faith.
[22.11.2022 13:22:27] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Oh.
[22.11.2022 13:22:33] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Hello.
[22.11.2022 13:22:49] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Buongiorno, Signor Steiner.
[22.11.2022 13:23:22] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Have you come in here to honor the dead?
[22.11.2022 13:23:36] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Answer questions more like.
[22.11.2022 13:23:43] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I'm told you know more than you let on.
[22.11.2022 13:23:57] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Since the Navy is no longer here.
[22.11.2022 13:24:51] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do know a lot, that is correct.
[22.11.2022 13:25:17] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You know about the anomalies?
[22.11.2022 13:25:33] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Si, I know about them.
[22.11.2022 13:25:44] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: How do you know?
[22.11.2022 13:26:23] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I have wandered in the darkness and seen them.
[22.11.2022 13:26:53] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: What do you know?
[22.11.2022 13:27:39] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do -sense- their presence.
[22.11.2022 13:27:55] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Whos?
[22.11.2022 13:28:17] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The anomalies - if that was your question.
[22.11.2022 13:28:33] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Why did you wander into the dark?
[22.11.2022 13:29:27] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I was curious about it. I am a woman of science.
[22.11.2022 13:29:41] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: A rational mind..
[22.11.2022 13:30:11] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Forgive me I have encountered so much insanity in the wake of these...orbs .
[22.11.2022 13:30:40] MNS-Amalfi: CO: But very soon I learned that there are both the Dead and Death lurking around.
[22.11.2022 13:32:50] MNS-Amalfi: CO: There is something calming about the storm around us.
[22.11.2022 13:33:20] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If you say so.
[22.11.2022 13:33:47] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I believe that my perception is quite different from yours.
[22.11.2022 13:34:15] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Are you..
[22.11.2022 13:34:22] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You're not Auxesian...
[22.11.2022 13:34:30] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Are you?
[22.11.2022 13:34:34] MNS-Amalfi: CO: No, I am from Malta.
[22.11.2022 13:35:05] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: That's not what I asked.
[22.11.2022 13:35:29] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Auxesians will accept most folk.
[22.11.2022 13:35:43] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Yet not us.
[22.11.2022 13:36:05] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Aligned with the Kusarian girls?
[22.11.2022 13:36:37] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Golden Chrysanthemums?
[22.11.2022 13:36:51] MNS-Amalfi: CO: They are our intermediaries, si.
[22.11.2022 13:37:00] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: For what, exactly?
[22.11.2022 13:37:57] MNS-Amalfi: CO: You almost got me, Signor Steiner.
[22.11.2022 13:38:13] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I will not tell you the details of our operations.
[22.11.2022 13:38:31] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: 'Our'?
[22.11.2022 13:39:11] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Our, si. I have my people in mind, of course.
[22.11.2022 13:39:48] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Do you study the Anomalies in this system?
[22.11.2022 13:40:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Si, I do study them, yet their true nature still eludes me.
[22.11.2022 13:40:49] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I...think we have a common goal.
[22.11.2022 13:41:47] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You met with my man along with a number of Golden C's a few days ago. In it you showed him the location of a destroyed vessel.
[22.11.2022 13:42:24] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The Three Eyed Prophet?
[22.11.2022 13:42:34] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If that is what you call it.
[22.11.2022 13:43:27] Death: Tarnanis suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[22.11.2022 13:43:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: That is how I call it, si. A liner torn apard by a constellation of three anomalies, keeping it in place.
[22.11.2022 13:43:51] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Yes....are there others
[22.11.2022 13:43:53] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: ?
[22.11.2022 13:44:11] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Almost as something snatched it from the Other side.
[22.11.2022 13:44:55] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Si, there are few others.
[22.11.2022 13:45:06] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: But none like this?
[22.11.2022 13:45:35] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You speak as though something is using these things like windows, or eyes. Watching from somewhere else.
[22.11.2022 13:45:52] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I believe that the Three Eyed Prophet is something more than just a subject of study.
[22.11.2022 13:46:14] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Please explain.
[22.11.2022 13:47:20] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is a feeling I have when I am nearby. I am watched.
[22.11.2022 13:48:11] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Do you have a way to contact the Golden Cs from here?
[22.11.2022 13:48:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Only through the Neuro Net.
[22.11.2022 13:48:55] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I'd like to arrange a meeting with you and them.
[22.11.2022 13:49:36] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You see, there are developments back in Bretonia which have relevence to your field of study.
[22.11.2022 13:50:13] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Developments? Do you have your own anomalies like these?
[22.11.2022 13:50:43] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: And I am not overly thrilled at what has been happening. If there is a way to end this, I'll take it.
[22.11.2022 13:51:54] MNS-Amalfi: CO: How do the Golden Chrysanthemums fit in these issues?
[22.11.2022 13:52:26] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You and them took my man along, they know of it. They also might know what interest, if any, the Kusari government has.
[22.11.2022 13:53:33] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: This is also their home. They would be familiar with...well those who live here.
[22.11.2022 13:53:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: And why should we be bothered by whatever is happening in your House, Signor Steiner.
[22.11.2022 13:54:12] MNS-Amalfi: CO: If anything, your House complicates our matters.
[22.11.2022 13:54:20] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: How's that?
[22.11.2022 13:55:08] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Your incursions in the Tau Region.
[22.11.2022 13:55:34] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You're going to have to narrow that down a little I'm sorry.
[22.11.2022 13:56:23] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The blockade of Gallia which is enforced by your dear House, Kusari and the Crayterians.
[22.11.2022 13:56:42] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Er...yes..what of it exactly?
[22.11.2022 13:57:33] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Our operations have to take into the consideration.
[22.11.2022 13:57:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: We are not pleased by it, to word it simply.
[22.11.2022 13:58:20] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I could lessen the burden on you.
[22.11.2022 13:58:49] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I am aware that you, Sirians, do not care much about the lives of your kin, yet - for us - every life is precious.
[22.11.2022 14:00:02] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: What would you have me do?
[22.11.2022 14:01:09] MNS-Amalfi: CO: What -can- you do, Signor Steiner?
[22.11.2022 14:01:54] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Perhaps I did not introduce myself properly. Victor Steiner, Head of Bretonian Intelligence.
[22.11.2022 14:02:21] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: In answer to your question, a great deal if given time and a reason.
[22.11.2022 14:02:34] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Let me be....very honest with you my dear.
[22.11.2022 14:03:11] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I do not know what your interest in Gallia or the GC's is exactly, but if you can potentially assist me in my investigation
[22.11.2022 14:03:55] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Not only will you receive information you yourself may find interesting but perhaps a slightly easier time in traversing the
[22.11.2022 14:04:04] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: blockade. If that is your wish.
[22.11.2022 14:04:14] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If not, then you are going to have to be more specific
[22.11.2022 14:04:24] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Gallia is encroaching deep into our territory and do not see as humans - it is very simple.
[22.11.2022 14:04:42] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Ah
[22.11.2022 14:04:55] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well now *That* is something I can absolutely assist with.
[22.11.2022 14:06:21] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Weapons, intelligence, support, safe haven even.
[22.11.2022 14:06:36] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If that is not to your liking....name something that is
[22.11.2022 14:06:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Molto bene - it appears we have an understanding.
[22.11.2022 14:07:12] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Understand two things.
[22.11.2022 14:07:29] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: One, this offer is also extended to the GCs if they are in any way interested.
[22.11.2022 14:07:57] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Two, I do not give this entirely free, I do wish for something in return
[22.11.2022 14:08:22] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is a business, Signor Steiner. I am well aware.
[22.11.2022 14:08:52] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Time may reveal things to us both my dear.
[22.11.2022 14:09:35] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I have a lot of time. I am in no hurry with my matters.
[22.11.2022 14:10:30] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If you want to inform your allies, I assume they are allies, within the GCs then my man will be in touch.
[22.11.2022 14:11:01] MNS-Amalfi: CO: If I would do everything right now, then the next few centuries could prove to be rather boring for me.
[22.11.2022 14:11:02] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: In the meantime, take stock of what you need from me and write a letter. I'm not hard to find.
[22.11.2022 14:11:17] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Ah.
[22.11.2022 14:11:24] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I forget the age of the Maltese.
[22.11.2022 14:11:41] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Young, and yet so very wise and...ethereal
[22.11.2022 14:12:51] MNS-Amalfi: CO: That is true in some way.
[22.11.2022 14:13:50] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: How old are you, exactly?
[22.11.2022 14:14:26] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do believe that this is a quite rude question to ask if I happen to be a lady.
[22.11.2022 14:15:19] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: On the contrary, it is a question, designed not as insult, but rather as a manifestation of curiosity.
[22.11.2022 14:16:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: While I do not have any formal title in my name, I do happen to own my own estate and surrounding countryside.
[22.11.2022 14:17:07] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: So....twenty one then.
[22.11.2022 14:17:35] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I have passed thirty years.
[22.11.2022 14:18:18] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well good Lord my dear, I should expect so.
[22.11.2022 14:18:27] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: No teenager ever commands a ship quite that large.
[22.11.2022 14:19:25] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Our ships are owned by families - it is up to them who will command them.
[22.11.2022 14:19:56] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I'd love to see this estate of yours but alas I feel it would be on Malta.
[22.11.2022 14:20:27] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is. I would not own land anywhere else - even if I could.
[22.11.2022 14:20:52] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I should like to invite you to mine as well. Although I suspect you may not feel as at home.
[22.11.2022 14:21:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: No planet is like Malta for me - our world is a paradise.
[22.11.2022 14:21:57] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well I'll take your word for it.
[22.11.2022 14:22:23] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Send me a photo
[22.11.2022 14:22:55] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Swathes of sunny dark golden plains up to the horizon.
[22.11.2022 14:23:28] MNS-Amalfi: //* strehcting up to the horizon.
[22.11.2022 14:24:02] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I'm sure you've made it home with your partner.
[22.11.2022 14:24:46] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Our cities, towns and villages have their own unique cultures, depending on the familes and clans living in them.
[22.11.2022 14:25:31] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Our buildings have only a few stories at best, with large windows and brightly colored walls.
[22.11.2022 14:26:11] MNS-Amalfi: CO: No pollution, no poverty, no crime and we are all worthy for our society.
[22.11.2022 14:26:37] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Sounds almost too good to be true
[22.11.2022 14:26:44] MNS-Amalfi: CO: That is my homeworld and I have not seen a planet like it.
[22.11.2022 14:27:22] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It took us several centuries to turn into the world it is now.
[22.11.2022 14:27:30] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: And what of Loyola?
[22.11.2022 14:27:47] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do not know her, personally.
[22.11.2022 14:28:14] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Hm.
[22.11.2022 14:28:25] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: By reputation eh?
[22.11.2022 14:28:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do, she is quite famous.
[22.11.2022 14:28:59] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Or infamous.
[22.11.2022 14:29:09] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: depending on one's perspective.
[22.11.2022 14:29:09] MNS-Amalfi: CO: But Signora Loyola is not my role model in any way.
[22.11.2022 14:29:22] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Who is?
[22.11.2022 14:29:54] MNS-Amalfi: CO: My mother, as it should be.
[22.11.2022 14:30:49] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I do not respect women who have to use curses and insults to make their point.
[22.11.2022 14:31:09] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well...I must be doing alright then.
[22.11.2022 14:31:17] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Although I'm not a woman so...it doesn't count.
[22.11.2022 14:32:09] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Signora Loyola was not very feminine by the my understanding of the term itself. That is all I can say.
[22.11.2022 14:33:05] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well I suppose you would know.
[22.11.2022 14:33:23] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: And if that is not the done thing according to the morals you abide by, who am I to say different
[22.11.2022 14:34:44] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Now then my dear. I shall have to love you and leave you.
[22.11.2022 14:34:48] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I would not call it morals - it is more like 'good manners'.
[22.11.2022 14:34:54] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: HA
[22.11.2022 14:34:59] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You sound Bretonian
[22.11.2022 14:35:37] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Do I?
[22.11.2022 14:36:11] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: My dear, Bretonians have manners. Perhaps we do not employ them as frequently as we should, but we do have them.
[22.11.2022 14:37:18] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Perhaps because you do not have enough time to employ them. Life can be rather busy in Bretonia.
[22.11.2022 14:37:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Especially if you happen to be from the lower working classes.
[22.11.2022 14:38:06] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: I suspect so. But even they have their manners and honour
[22.11.2022 14:38:38] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I would not consider the Mollys to be honourable.
[22.11.2022 14:39:05] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Not every working man is a molly my dear.
[22.11.2022 14:39:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Yet they have a lot of sympathizers among them.
[22.11.2022 14:40:27] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Who wouldn't
[22.11.2022 14:40:38] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: They are like folk law outlaws
[22.11.2022 14:40:46] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Fighting the good fight.
[22.11.2022 14:40:53] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: it's not true, but that is the perception.
[22.11.2022 14:41:25] MNS-Amalfi: CO: House societies are not equal at all.
[22.11.2022 14:41:49] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Humanity is not equal to all, it is a law of nature.
[22.11.2022 14:41:52] MNS-Amalfi: CO: The Mollys or Xenos, they voice the frustration of the working classes.
[22.11.2022 14:43:08] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: The working classes must always be given the means to travel upwards
[22.11.2022 14:43:12] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: locking them into place never works
[22.11.2022 14:43:30] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Everyone knows it, but none does it.
[22.11.2022 14:44:22] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Heh. No. No they don't.
[22.11.2022 14:44:36] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: But don't fall into the trap of thinking you would be different in a position of power.
[22.11.2022 14:45:41] MNS-Amalfi: CO: My people do it differently.
[22.11.2022 14:46:29] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You may well do
[22.11.2022 14:46:33] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: But you are still human
[22.11.2022 14:46:42] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: still guilty of the same vices as I am
[22.11.2022 14:47:04] MNS-Amalfi: CO: I care about my kin, Signor Steiner. Our lives are precious to us.
[22.11.2022 14:47:20] MNS-Amalfi: CO: We are not the same in this regard.
[22.11.2022 14:47:46] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Your societies are cruel and inequal, rotting with poverty and discontent.
[22.11.2022 14:48:36] MNS-Amalfi: CO: We are all equals in our society, every life matters, every skilled worker is appreciated for his or her skills.
[22.11.2022 14:48:57] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: And the unskilled?
[22.11.2022 14:49:17] MNS-Amalfi: CO: There is none unskilled.
[22.11.2022 14:50:09] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: hm
[22.11.2022 14:50:22] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well I have nothing to disprove this assertion
[22.11.2022 14:50:42] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Even the farmers live comfortable and fulfilling lives, years of experience with the crops matter.
[22.11.2022 14:52:07] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Do you despise us?
[22.11.2022 14:53:00] MNS-Amalfi: CO: It is not as easy.
[22.11.2022 14:53:11] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: The hell it isn't/
[22.11.2022 14:53:24] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You sound like you don't like us very much
[22.11.2022 14:53:44] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: If anything you sound like you're speaking to a monkey, rather than another person.
[22.11.2022 14:53:46] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Your ways are self destructive, yet there are some things in Sirius worthy of my respect or even admiration.
[22.11.2022 14:53:59] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Just not the people.
[22.11.2022 14:54:21] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Even -some- of the people.
[22.11.2022 14:56:00] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Well maybe I will be one of them but somehow, I doubt it very much.
[22.11.2022 14:56:28] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Now. I have been on the road for a very long time and I am rather tired. I don't wish to be rude, but I should like to sleep.
[22.11.2022 14:56:57] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: You have my offer, and know how to contact me. I shall look forward to your letter.
[22.11.2022 14:57:05] [SIS]-Victor.Steiner: Good evening my lady.
[22.11.2022 14:57:12] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Arrivederci, Signor Steiner.
Recently by keeping close enough to know what, how and why something that happens in Tau 61, my crew and I went to Roussilon to have a little fun and relieve the tension that is to be Secret Agents infiltrated into hostile and tedious systems as in the inhospitable, as in the case of Tau 61.
We were about to dock at the Batlleship Palmier when we were questioned by a Maquis Bomber ship. (Well, as always, bomber ships are a good reason to stay on high alert.) After putting the crew in protisure for defense and attack, if we were assaulted, I opened the communication neural and started the dialogue. I soon realized that there was no hostility in the tone of voice on the pilot on the other side.
It happened that the dialogue was a little, if not even interesting, of course that as it is my custom to speak little, I threw the bait and harvested the fish, so that the pertinent information sending to the High Command of Intelligence to be interpreted for the purpose that takes place.

[24.11.2022 10:37:03] 2022-11-24 13:36:57 SMT Traffic control alert: [SIS]Derek.Trowne has requested to dock.
Deputy Director Statham is appointed Station Chief - Gallia
Agent Trowne has made contact with the Maquis, you are instructed to open contact with them and establish relations with the underworld in Gallia as well as open potential logistic routes within that house.
Director of Her Majesties Secret Intelligence Service
To my superiors I notify that I am even looking to establish new meetings with the Maquis, researching here and there, infiltrating my collaborators and myself sometimes mescuing between the commoners, in the brothels, and alleys of each city on the various planets and between the luxurious and varied parties, ... finally, in a tireless investigation to fulfill the mission entrusted to me by you.
In this walk I witnessed a fight that made me pansar twice in reporting. By yes and no, I decided to make notorious this subject, which I consider commonplace, but that is registered to, if by chance, one day, is of interest in some later subject.
A Nomad with K'Hara Id, without however having the usual tag and due to this detail is that I decided to report. I think in the matter of espionage the Nomads are learning to infiltrate our system undetected as such in the Private Channels of every ship of His Majesty.
I suggest attention
[To]: Defence Intelligence Staff [From]: Intelleigence Officer Derek Trowne [Subject]: Information report [Encryption]: HIgh Thought:After a lot of flying I'm delirious about what I saw. I'm not sure if what I saw was real or a dream. I don't understand how a French Gallic battleship can be where I saw it in repair. I think it's best to report to Bretonia's intelligence, to my superiors.
Gentlemen of the Secret Service;
I've been chasing an outcast spy to Alaska in Liberty. There he got rid of me and I decided to request help repairing my ship at the Juneau Shipyard. I got permission to dock. As the attraction shot directed my craft into a hangar, I noticed a battleship in the repair bay. While I was waiting for the repairs I talked to some of Jurneau's mechanics and maintenance assistants about the said leather. His name is Carcassome. After the repairs had been completed and the amounts had been deducted from my credits, I obtained permission to proceed back to Bretonia. So I got a photo that is attached to this document.
This report is only to be oriented to those who are entitled within our organization.
