Buenos Dias my fellow brothers and sisters of the Apostatas. This will be my first transmission back to HQ from Freeport 11 in the Omicron Delta star system. As per the directives of Operation Contact, I have personally volunteered to fly into this uncharted system in the hopes of finding a safe path to reach potential Allies. After the encounters of today, I believe there is indeed success of some regard here.
At 08:00 Freeport 9 standard time, I departed from the Omicron Theta star system. My ship was equipped with a simple Virtual Intelligence "Adrianna" followed by standard rations, bio-hazard scanners, reinforced hull plating, standard exo-suit and an old bottle of Whiskey. The system navigation map recommended I take a shortcut through the safer Omicron Kappa but something about Omicron Chi had me enraptured. The stories of the Radiation eating through hull plating had me curious. Besides, It gave me a reason to fly to Omicron Gamma and get a glimpse of what we fight for, Crete.
Enroute to the Xi Jumphole, I happen to run into a Cryer transport ferrying goods to and from the Brotherhood.
He was blissfully unaware of the civil war, then again who really is aware about corsair politics, the brotherhood have seen to us having more enemies than allies. After a swift warning to said pilot, I proceeded to Omicron Chi.
To put a long story short, the rumors of the radiation intensity in that system was very much true and it's a sheer miracle I even survived. Perhaps the key was those reinforced hull plating over the exterior hull of the ship. Upon detection of the Delta jump hole, I flew straight into it and arrived. A war torn system is what I beckoned with my eyes. Upon arrival, I picked up what appeared to be a large vessel roughly 15 clicks from my position with what I assumed to be a corporation's callsign THP|"Legal".Commerce. It took me a while to realized that THP| was one of the few tagged ships that helped construct our previous home in Sigma 17. "Maybe there might be something in business we can barter with these gentlemen" was my first thoughts on this and perhaps a wise decision considering my discussion with him which you will find here :

[17.06.2018 17:17:59] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: The pestilence bothers you I presume

[17.06.2018 17:22:03] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Copy that, the radiation is not making this easy *laughs
[17.06.2018 17:24:15] Death: LNS-Ottawa was put out of action by HFB-Dominatrix (Gun).

[17.06.2018 17:26:34] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: How can I assist you my fine friend.
[17.06.2018 17:27:02] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: I wanted to re-establish our organization's powerful relationship Captain
[17.06.2018 17:27:07] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I must admit I have not had many dealings with the Apostates.
[17.06.2018 17:27:23] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: The last time we met, it was to build our beloved first home in sigma 17
[17.06.2018 17:27:26] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: But if reaffirming links of trust is your goal.
[17.06.2018 17:27:38] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I am all for it.
[17.06.2018 17:27:45] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: I have simply come to meet my old friends *smiles
[17.06.2018 17:28:03] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: *Chuckles* Well the feeling is likewise.
[17.06.2018 17:28:04] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: If there is anything we can do to help you and your organization out, we are here for you
[17.06.2018 17:28:47] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: For now, the citizens of the Apostatas are safe and free, we can freely begin supporting and assisting our allies
[17.06.2018 17:28:58] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Well we can always use ablebodied miners to assist in the securement of Malvada clould Artifact shipments.
[17.06.2018 17:29:10] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: As such, military operations have begun against the Brotherhood and their watchdogs
[17.06.2018 17:29:19] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Ah.
[17.06.2018 17:29:41] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I assume you are opposed to the Artifact trade then?
[17.06.2018 17:30:07] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Frankly, it is more simply put, the elimination of their economy
[17.06.2018 17:30:26] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Hmm, this does make things... interesting to say the least.
[17.06.2018 17:30:30] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Without currency to mean any value, they cannot provide for themselves
[17.06.2018 17:30:53] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: *smiles My friend, a war may be won on multiple fronts
[17.06.2018 17:31:04] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Indeed... so it seems.
[17.06.2018 17:31:25] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: But as an avid learner of the economic arts, the power of the credit easily overpowers even the strongest of weapons
[17.06.2018 17:31:41] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: As such, to simply answer your question, Yes
[17.06.2018 17:31:55] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: We want to eliminate any trade to the Brotherhood
[17.06.2018 17:31:55] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I imagine you would not be so averse to the prospect to the profits of such Artfiact acquisition going to your own peopl
[17.06.2018 17:32:00] THP|"Legal".Commerce: //people*
[17.06.2018 17:32:11] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: TheDougveM
[17.06.2018 17:32:18] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: *smiles I see you have peered into my mind
[17.06.2018 17:32:36] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Glad to see we have reached an understanding.
[17.06.2018 17:32:38] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Indeed my business compatriot, we can be the replacement
[17.06.2018 17:32:59] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Any creditis that flows into our coffers is a credit against the Brotherhood
[17.06.2018 17:33:06] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Another ship they cannot afford to repair
[17.06.2018 17:33:06] Death: LNS-Avoca was put out of action by HFB-Dominatrix (Gun).
[17.06.2018 17:33:20] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Well, we of the League believe that a business partner can come from any corner or walk of life.
[17.06.2018 17:33:28] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: And the Apostates are no exception.
[17.06.2018 17:33:47] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: To clarify, we may be of corsair birth but we are not savages
[17.06.2018 17:34:17] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: As such, you are perhaps one of our best partners to change the credit influx in Gamma
[17.06.2018 17:35:01] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: You must appreciate this fact however, the Brotherhood is a dominant force in Gamma. Much of our shipments come through
[17.06.2018 17:35:02] THP|"Legal".Commerce: them
[17.06.2018 17:35:25] THP|"Legal".Commerce: If they were to learn of any envolvement with yourself and your organisation well...
[17.06.2018 17:35:41] THP|"Legal".Commerce: My operations may become more complicated than they already are.
[17.06.2018 17:35:49] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Indeed I am aware friend but let me ask you this one question *smiles
[17.06.2018 17:35:57] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Ask away.
[17.06.2018 17:36:16] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: When the manpower starts to dissipate, who will collect those artifacts for you?
[17.06.2018 17:36:41] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: You must certainly me aware of the living conditions of basic corsair civilians in Gamma correct?
[17.06.2018 17:36:49] Death: BAF|Lt.Cmdr.Pria.Y'berg was put out of action by Core|Jack.Burns (Collision).
[17.06.2018 17:37:05] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: We did consider internal League resources at one stage... but that was considered infeasible.
[17.06.2018 17:37:22] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: And yes I am aware of the Corsicans plight.
[17.06.2018 17:37:45] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: My point here simply being, this business deal with the Brotherhood is more short term that you thing
[17.06.2018 17:37:52] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: //*than
[17.06.2018 17:37:56] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: //*think
[17.06.2018 17:38:23] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: A possibly true point, and with change one must adapt too survive.
[17.06.2018 17:38:51] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: The Apostatas primarily fight for the people. Once the Elders are removed from power, the manpower will only increase
[17.06.2018 17:39:12] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: We offer everything to them that which they couldnt get from the *spits Brotherhood Elders
[17.06.2018 17:39:33] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: *sigh Forgive my manners *wipes his lips
[17.06.2018 17:39:47] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Oh, no need. I like your spirit.
[17.06.2018 17:40:02] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I cannot speak for the rest of the League...
[17.06.2018 17:40:18] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: But as one of its Senior Staff and Lead Merchant Captains.
[17.06.2018 17:40:18] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: One way or another, the Brotherhood will lose their hands quite literally in this business
[17.06.2018 17:40:51] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I will assure you the League is open and willing to engage in any business deal you may propose.
[17.06.2018 17:41:12] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: That is more than enough to work with for now *smiles
[17.06.2018 17:41:20] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Be it supply requirements or Artifact shipments.
[17.06.2018 17:41:33] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: But I must stress this fact.
[17.06.2018 17:42:02] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Despite myself have a certain liking towards the Corsican people over you Maltese brothers and sisters...
[17.06.2018 17:42:19] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: (Including the fact Cardimine is a poor selling export at best).
[17.06.2018 17:42:44] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I and the League must remain to be seen as Neutral in the politics of the Edgeworlds.
[17.06.2018 17:43:20] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: We will provide discreet finicial backing if required, but nothing overt as of yet.
[17.06.2018 17:43:27] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Hmm, Consider this hypothetical situation friend
[17.06.2018 17:44:06] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: What if the Apostatas could offer you a product that if exported could easily out-race both the artifacts and cardamine
[17.06.2018 17:44:26] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I would say you would have my keen interest.
[17.06.2018 17:44:30] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Will you then perhaps change allegiances? *smiles
[17.06.2018 17:44:57] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: *Sighs* Your cause is admirable... and I am biased to incline...
[17.06.2018 17:45:28] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: The House of Crete would benefit greatly from full integration into the Sirian enconomic network.
[17.06.2018 17:45:43] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: That is indeed the end game my friend
[17.06.2018 17:46:07] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: For now, I simply require time to set up a particular commodity option for your organization
[17.06.2018 17:46:19] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Hmm.
[17.06.2018 17:46:42] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Ofcourse, our transactions until the commodity viability may remain under the table
[17.06.2018 17:46:51] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Alright, I will bring this proposal to the ears of my fellow Merchant Captains for deliberation.
[17.06.2018 17:47:01] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Of course.
[17.06.2018 17:47:38] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Perhaps you could open a private comms to your higher ups and CC me in it
[17.06.2018 17:47:51] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Perhaps.
[17.06.2018 17:48:06] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: I will do my part to do business with them as well *smiles
[17.06.2018 17:48:32] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I may have to pop by the Apostates private channel to discuss things further. And of course exhange relevent details with
[17.06.2018 17:48:33] THP|"Legal".Commerce: you
[17.06.2018 17:48:46] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Excellent to hear
[17.06.2018 17:48:56] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Then our meeting has come to a good conclusion
[17.06.2018 17:49:04] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: I am glad to hear that.
[17.06.2018 17:49:14] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: I shall retire for the day at the local freeport
[17.06.2018 17:49:22] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: Until next time friend
[17.06.2018 17:49:31] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Safe travels.
[17.06.2018 17:49:54] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: You too captain, I hear this system is rather wild *laughs
[17.06.2018 17:49:58] THP|"Legal".Commerce: Anton: Alright, all hands prepare, prepare to open hyperspace laneway to New York.

[17.06.2018 17:51:10] ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen]: What a hellish place for a freeport
[17.06.2018 17:51:15] 2018-06-17 17:45:39 SMT Traffic control alert: ApS|Lanzo_Walker[Gen] has requested to dock
Thus, my first day in Delta had come to a fitting end. Adrianna recommended I sleep within the protection of my ship but what good is a General if he cannot protect himself.
I will be reporting on this channel tomorrow on Freeport 11's time. Until then, you have your orders.
This is General Lanzo Walker of the Apostatas, over and out.
