Omicron Delta Patrol, After Action Report
During a field test of the long range drone control program of the AESIR array the remote operator of the U-33 encountered a Wild gunboat and fighter posing as MND assets testing prototype weaponry. The Asset known Caliban was also there - and revealed the two units to be Wild infiltrators. Following our anti-Wild standing orders, we engaged and destroyed the Wild gunboat, while Caliban destroyed both the Wild fighter and two fighter class alien vessels that engaged us.

Extended Operations Report
In the process of attempting to maintain Rheinland superiority in the Earhart system, I encountered a Nomad ship. Interrogation was attempted, and may have been partially successful. I have no metrics to compare to to judge the quality of an interrogation directed at an alien.
Relevant information: Nomads do not have control over Earhart structures. There are possibly other such structures which Nomads hold no control over.
[22.09.2024 21:13:49] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Alien organism sighted.
[22.09.2024 21:14:34] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: ***(Amused)***
[22.09.2024 21:14:48] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Can communicate.
[22.09.2024 21:15:00] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Neat. Disclose information on the nearby structure.
[22.09.2024 21:15:16] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **{Shadowlings} ~Yet disrupt Our intent~**
[22.09.2024 21:15:36] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Confirmed. That is what disruptors do.
[22.09.2024 21:16:36] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You desire to [Dance] with Us~ *(Curiosity, amusement)***
[22.09.2024 21:17:00] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Not specifically. I'd rather actionable information first.
[22.09.2024 21:17:49] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You swim within Our seas; yet You demand Our thoughts~ *(Mocking)***
[22.09.2024 21:18:08] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Where else but aliens to ask information about alien constructs?
[22.09.2024 21:18:53] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<the amusement seems to emanate significantly, along with the glowing from its core. it almost seemed playful>**
[22.09.2024 21:19:57] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: I will never understand how idiots claim to reason with these things.
[22.09.2024 21:20:10] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Listen. Slowly this time.
[22.09.2024 21:20:21] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<a vision flashed between the pair, a vision of the previously observed demise of a craft not unlike your own, against-
[22.09.2024 21:20:36] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: -several flashes of green orbs, and a freightercraft>**
[22.09.2024 21:22:11] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Yes, yes, you saw that, very neat.
[22.09.2024 21:22:34] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: That does not answer what the structure at the center of this space is.
[22.09.2024 21:23:37] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<the form rests in relative silence for a moment, pondering the query>**
[22.09.2024 21:25:12] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<it considers all options, deep in thought, yet it chooses to disclose nothing to the agent>**
[22.09.2024 21:25:57] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: These animals genuinely frustrate me...
[22.09.2024 21:26:04] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Look. Rock. Why?
[22.09.2024 21:26:15] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You shall never [Understand] that which remains beyond Your [Grasp]~*(Amusement)***
[22.09.2024 21:26:39] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Uh, yes, that is why questions were invented.
[22.09.2024 21:27:09] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: How are these the "highly intelligent predators" the Order is so afraid of?
[22.09.2024 21:27:23] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You shall depart from Our seas; [Cower] elsewhere~**
[22.09.2024 21:27:40] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: I think not.
[22.09.2024 21:27:50] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: This is Buro territory now.
[22.09.2024 21:28:24] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<The glow of the craft intenisfies, ready to fight if it came to such. Yet there still remained the seemingly endless-
[22.09.2024 21:28:35] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: -amusement that welled up and out from its core>**
[22.09.2024 21:28:54] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Artificial intelligence will never hold a candle to Natural Stupidity...
[22.09.2024 21:29:50] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Alright. Primary interrogation failed. Secondary interrogation, then.
[22.09.2024 21:30:47] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Lets put a little hurt on it, see if that reminds it how to disclose information.
[22.09.2024 21:31:07] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: ***(Amused)* ~We shall dance~**
[22.09.2024 21:31:25] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<it glows brighter, anger surging>**
-
[22.09.2024 21:43:48] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Alright.
[22.09.2024 21:44:00] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Willing to disclose information on the alien structures now?
[22.09.2024 21:44:36] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: This IS an interrogation.
[22.09.2024 21:44:56] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: ***(Amusement)***
[22.09.2024 21:45:21] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: You can be amused all you like. Disclose information on the structure.
[22.09.2024 21:46:05] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You seek that which remains beyond Your capacity of control~**
[22.09.2024 21:46:19] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Yes, yes.
[22.09.2024 21:46:30] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: That is precisely why I'm asking.
[22.09.2024 21:46:39] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: It's within our grasp.
[22.09.2024 21:46:52] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: The structure is right there.
[22.09.2024 21:47:35] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~yet You remain without~**
[22.09.2024 21:48:11] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: That doesn't change the fact that we remain WITH the structure.
[22.09.2024 21:48:50] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: I'm certain you've noticed, right?
[22.09.2024 21:49:00] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Humanity is everywhere.
[22.09.2024 21:49:23] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: If you care so much about what the structure is, then who better than humanity to maintain it?
[22.09.2024 21:49:36] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **{Shadowlings} ~seek control that of which They remain [Unable]~ *(Amused)***
[22.09.2024 21:50:29] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Right. So either we control it with knowledge, or we control it without knowledge.
[22.09.2024 21:50:39] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Which do you think is in your best interests?
[22.09.2024 21:50:57] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Which do you think is in the best interests of the structure?
[22.09.2024 21:50:57] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<a vision is shared, one of Toledo, and the Order. it then flashes to Sol, and the destruction of two warring side. Two-
[22.09.2024 21:51:19] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: -parallels of Humanity, both caused by their own desires and beliefs>**
[22.09.2024 21:52:06] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Yes, yes, eternal doomsaying of human nature. I studied the writings of psychologist and philosopher Nikolaus Strauss.
[22.09.2024 21:52:37] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Fear of the future only hinders the present.
[22.09.2024 21:52:50] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Worrying is the art of praying for what you do not want.
[22.09.2024 21:53:24] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: So, now that we have crossed the fatalism, can you disclose the nature of the structure at the center of Earhart?
[22.09.2024 21:53:52] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~You remain incapable of such which remains [Remnants] of They who swam before Us~*(Mockery)***
[22.09.2024 21:55:27] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Yes, yes, and as the dominant force in the Sirius sector, it remains fairly obvious that we will be opperating the structure.
[22.09.2024 21:56:42] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: So, isn't it rather foolish to have an "incapable" being in control of the structure?
[22.09.2024 21:57:07] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: It seems that the primary logical answer is simply that humans should be properly informed on how to control the structure.
[22.09.2024 21:57:58] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<the form shares another vision, one of the shells that litter the inner ring of the Earhart system>**
[22.09.2024 21:58:46] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Yes, the weapons systems attack anything that enters firing range.
[22.09.2024 21:58:53] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Last I checked, that includes you.
[22.09.2024 21:58:59] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<it seems to draw attention to the lack of the Light's remains, or discarded remnants within the same sphere>**
[22.09.2024 22:00:26] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Decay is expected. What is your point?
[22.09.2024 22:03:39] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~Yours [Assume] that which remains is Ours~ *(Mockery)***
[22.09.2024 22:04:40] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: All of the previous Precursor structures are inactive. Logically, it concludes that active structures belong to or are managed-
[22.09.2024 22:04:43] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: -by Nomads.
[22.09.2024 22:06:38] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **{Shadowlings} ~[Fail] in knowing what remains Ours~**
[22.09.2024 22:07:54] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: So then there are active structures that are Precursor in origin. Possibly, there are inactive structures that are Nomad also.
[22.09.2024 22:08:56] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **{Lightless} ~defile Our space; that which remains Ours~**
[22.09.2024 22:09:58] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Right, right. Back to the beginning.
[22.09.2024 22:10:18] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **<there was an aparrent glow from the form, yet its emotions remained in check>**
[22.09.2024 22:10:35] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: The structure is an active Precursor structure. More likely than not, you have little to no control over it.
[22.09.2024 22:10:39] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~Your darkness shall perish in time; Our Light shall remain~**
[22.09.2024 22:10:52] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r tossed tails
[22.09.2024 22:10:57] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Every star burns through its fuel.
[22.09.2024 22:11:16] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: What is left at the end is, inevitably, darkness.
[22.09.2024 22:11:27] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Entropy is a basic universal law.
[22.09.2024 22:12:57] K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r: **~Light yet emerges from shadow~**
[22.09.2024 22:13:11] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Thats... thats not how the laws of physics work.
[22.09.2024 22:13:46] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: [Mutters] I think that counts as successful.
[22.09.2024 22:14:14] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: Fine, I got what I needed.
[22.09.2024 22:14:58] BDM|Agent-R.Konig: It stands to reason that standard interrogation techniques wouldn't apply normally to aliens.

OSC Barge encountered leaving Omicron Gamma
Kpt Trager Reporting.
While on patrol in Omicron Theta, we encountered an OSC BARGE class superheavy transport jumping in from Omicron Gamma. It then opened a jumphole directly to New Berlin, where we pursued the vessel to continue our investigation. Full communication log appended below.
To summarize - the crew of the barge claim to have been bound from New London to the Freeport in Omicron Delta to purchase iridium for sale on Portsmouth in Cambridge. Along the way in Omega 3, they 'hit an asteroid' which caused it to jump into Omicron Gamma - which they then later changed to Omicron Theta. Once in Omicron Theta/Gamma, a freelancer appeared and gave them additional jump batteries in Omicron Theta, after which they jumped into Omicron Gamma. We encountered their ship jumping from Omicron Gamma into Omicron Theta.
The explanation given by the barge crew was quite weak and full of contradictions and acts of highly unlikely incompetencies, leading us to believe that there may be some collaboration between this barge and the Corsairs. We permitted the barge to continue with a minor fine for illegal operation of a Jump Drive into New Berlin.
[31.10.2024 00:47:20] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Curiouser and curiouser
[31.10.2024 00:47:52] BDM|LV-Bifrost: What business do you have with the Corsairs, Spa and Cruise vessel
[31.10.2024 00:47:53] Mr.Harris: Greetings Officer.
[31.10.2024 00:48:00] Mr.Harris: No one
[31.10.2024 00:48:06] Mr.Harris: I'm lost
[31.10.2024 00:48:17] BDM|LV-Bifrost: I see.
[31.10.2024 00:48:58] Mr.Harris: Ahhh, Secured Space, that feels better
[31.10.2024 00:49:20] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Yes, it's quite a bit safer which buys a lot more time for explanations
[31.10.2024 00:49:35] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Kindly cut your engines until the investigation is complete.
[31.10.2024 00:49:43] Mr.Harris: Sure
[31.10.2024 00:50:22] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, what were you doing in that nebula, Spa and Cruise vessel?
[31.10.2024 00:51:14] Mr.Harris: As i told you officer, my navigation systems are broken and needs a repair in a shipyard, i'm lucky that i got not cought by
[31.10.2024 00:51:16] Mr.Harris: corsairs
[31.10.2024 00:51:36] BDM|LV-Bifrost: And now the real reason?
[31.10.2024 00:51:49] Mr.Harris: it is the real reason officer.
[31.10.2024 00:52:54] BDM|LV-Bifrost: What was the original bearing and cargo of your vessel before your navigational systems 'broke'
[31.10.2024 00:53:49] Mr.Harris: I wasnt hauling Cargo. First we(Crew and me) need to repair our Vessel to take new contracts.
[31.10.2024 00:54:32] Rallying 1 allies to your position.
[31.10.2024 00:54:51] BDM|LV-Bifrost: If you were not hauling cargo during the voyage, what was your original destination and port of origin?
[31.10.2024 00:54:52] Rules Tip: If you die to another player, you must not only leave and not re-enter the system you died in for one hour, but you must also not attack the players you died to for one hour on ANY of your characters.
[31.10.2024 00:55:18] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Surely you weren't just flying about aimlessly through the Omicrons in a Barge class superheavy transport, no?
[31.10.2024 00:55:39] Mr.Harris: Finding a shipyard to repair our vessel?
[31.10.2024 00:56:00] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So you decided to repair your vessel at a corsair shipyard?
[31.10.2024 00:56:08] Mr.Harris: Thats the first task for me. I'M searching for new Cargo to haul after the repairs are completed officer.
[31.10.2024 00:56:43] Mr.Harris: no
[31.10.2024 00:57:10] [RM]KKS-Helle.Wolke: K: Made our sweep, got a perimeter alert from the Dresden Blockade, will head out.
[31.10.2024 00:57:14] Mr.Harris: without a functional navigation system, you are unable to navigate, makes sense to me or not?
[31.10.2024 00:57:24] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, I will ask again
[31.10.2024 00:57:26] [RM]KKS-Helle.Wolke: K: We'll leave this one to you.
[31.10.2024 00:57:34] BDM|LV-Bifrost: what was your port of origin and destination, before your navigational systems 'broke'
[31.10.2024 00:57:58] Mr.Harris: Ahhh, thats what you mean, my bad officer.
[31.10.2024 00:58:08] Mr.Harris: Delta for Iridium.
[31.10.2024 00:58:36] BDM|LV-Bifrost: That's a system, I would like details on specific ports so that we may be thorough in our logs
[31.10.2024 00:58:56] BDM|LV-Bifrost: it's not often that we find Spa and Cruise barges that jump out of Omicron Gamma, and then to New Berlin
[31.10.2024 00:59:21] Mr.Harris: Berlin has a shipyard if i remember correctly
[31.10.2024 00:59:32] Mr.Harris: Freeport 11 in Delta
[31.10.2024 01:00:01] BDM|LV-Bifrost: I hope you understand that your vessel was in a highly sensitive area and that we must be quite thorough
[31.10.2024 01:00:10] Mr.Harris: Well, i have choosen to haul Materials and not Vips or whatever
[31.10.2024 01:00:25] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Such incidents are not looked upon kindly, as it would be quite unfortunate if a vessel such as yours fell into the hands of
[31.10.2024 01:00:27] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Corsairs
[31.10.2024 01:00:27] Mr.Harris: Sure
[31.10.2024 01:00:38] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Or, perhaps was collaborating with the Corsairs
[31.10.2024 01:00:58] Mr.Harris: no thanks
[31.10.2024 01:01:09] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, your vessel was headed to Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta to purchase Irridium
[31.10.2024 01:01:11] Mr.Harris: legal money is the best money officer
[31.10.2024 01:01:17] Mr.Harris: Correct
[31.10.2024 01:01:26] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Where was it to take that irridium upon purchase?
[31.10.2024 01:02:28] Mr.Harris: Cambridge
[31.10.2024 01:02:42] BDM|LV-Bifrost: What port, specifically?
[31.10.2024 01:02:43] Mr.Harris: Portmouth shipyard
[31.10.2024 01:02:52] Mr.Harris: BMM Station
[31.10.2024 01:03:21] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Where did you depart from before you lost navigational control?
[31.10.2024 01:04:17] Mr.Harris: It must be O-3
[31.10.2024 01:04:31] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Please be more specific
[31.10.2024 01:04:59] Mr.Harris: in a cloud in o-3 we lost our navigation system
[31.10.2024 01:05:29] BDM|LV-Bifrost: We'll get to where the point of failure was in due time - but I would like to know what port you last visited before the
[31.10.2024 01:05:31] BDM|LV-Bifrost: malfunction
[31.10.2024 01:06:02] Mr.Harris: New London to take a rest
[31.10.2024 01:06:49] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So you departed from New London with a bearing to Omicron Delta to purchase Irridium, and then to Portsmouth in Cambridge
[31.10.2024 01:06:53] BDM|LV-Bifrost: oof wrong chat
[31.10.2024 01:07:19] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So you departed from New London with a bearing to Omicron Delta to purchase Irridium, and then to Portsmouth in Cambridge
[31.10.2024 01:07:22] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Is that correct?
[31.10.2024 01:07:32] Mr.Harris: yeah
[31.10.2024 01:08:17] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Very good.
[31.10.2024 01:08:18] Mr.Harris: navigation malfunction plus jumpdrive= you get lost. We are faster with our Jumpdrive.
[31.10.2024 01:08:22] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Regarding the navigational error
[31.10.2024 01:08:35] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You mentioned that the malfunction happened in a nebula in Omega 3, is that correct?
[31.10.2024 01:08:52] Mr.Harris: Yeah, i think we hit a big asteroid or something like that
[31.10.2024 01:09:22] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You hit a big asteroid in Omega-3, which you believe led to the navigational failure that resulted in your relocation to
[31.10.2024 01:09:25] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Omicron Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:09:52] Mr.Harris: Correct, cuz the jumpdrive has selected from coord from the navigationsystem
[31.10.2024 01:10:26] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Ah, so the big asteroid caused your jumpdrive to activate and take you to Omicron Gamma in addition to messing with your
[31.10.2024 01:10:27] BDM|LV-Bifrost: nav charts?
[31.10.2024 01:10:55] Mr.Harris: Correct
[31.10.2024 01:11:18] BDM|LV-Bifrost: The same jumpdrive which you then used to jump to New Berlin, is that correct?
[31.10.2024 01:11:42] Mr.Harris: Yes
[31.10.2024 01:11:58] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Strange, that's quite a distance to jump without replenishment of jump batteries
[31.10.2024 01:12:00] Mr.Harris: Luckly that the JD selected the correct coords
[31.10.2024 01:12:25] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Did you happen to do business with the Corsairs while you were in Omicron Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:12:32] Mr.Harris: No
[31.10.2024 01:12:56] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, how did you come into possession of additional jump batteries between your jump malfunction from Omega 3 to Gamma
[31.10.2024 01:13:05] BDM|LV-Bifrost: and then your jump from the Gamma jumphole to New Berlin?
[31.10.2024 01:13:41] Mr.Harris: A freelancer delivered a few to our position in Theta
[31.10.2024 01:14:01] Mr.Harris: i cant remeber the name of the vessel if you want to ask
[31.10.2024 01:14:09] BDM|LV-Bifrost: We encountered your vessel jumping directly into Theta from Gamma, we encountered no freelancer vessel
[31.10.2024 01:14:23] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Did you leave Omicron Gamma to Theta, then return to Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:14:32] Mr.Harris: huh, which kind of scanner you have??
[31.10.2024 01:14:51] Mr.Harris: its not possible to scan though systems
[31.10.2024 01:15:12] BDM|LV-Bifrost: There was no scan through systems, we encountered your vessel at the Omicron Gamma jumphole in Theta
[31.10.2024 01:15:24] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Do you remember?
[31.10.2024 01:15:26] Mr.Harris: Correct
[31.10.2024 01:15:40] BDM|LV-Bifrost: I asked you what your business was in Omicron Gamma, as you had just jumped in from there
[31.10.2024 01:16:00] BDM|LV-Bifrost: there were no freelancer vessels at the time - so if there had been a freelancer that gave you jump batteries in Theta
[31.10.2024 01:16:04] Mr.Harris: from o- to theta officer
[31.10.2024 01:16:10] BDM|LV-Bifrost: It must have been before we encountered your vessel
[31.10.2024 01:16:15] Mr.Harris: not o-3>gamma>theta
[31.10.2024 01:16:54] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So a freelancer vessel gave you jump batteries in Omega 3?
[31.10.2024 01:17:51] Mr.Harris: In theta, he has jumped to gamma and we asked him if he had a few batts for us, no gib deal in my opinion
[31.10.2024 01:18:22] Mr.Harris: *big
[31.10.2024 01:18:25] BDM|LV-Bifrost: If you received the jump batteries in Omicron Theta, it was before we encountered your vessel in Theta as you were jumping from
[31.10.2024 01:18:27] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Gamma
[31.10.2024 01:18:31] BDM|LV-Bifrost: is that correct?
[31.10.2024 01:19:21] Mr.Harris: we recived the batts in theta, correct
[31.10.2024 01:19:39] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Before we encountered your vessel as it was jumping to Theta from Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:20:07] Mr.Harris: yes
[31.10.2024 01:20:28] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So your navigational error caused you to jump into Gamma, after which you jumped into Theta
[31.10.2024 01:20:41] BDM|LV-Bifrost: recieved jump batteries from a freelancer in Theta
[31.10.2024 01:20:46] BDM|LV-Bifrost: after which you jumped back into Gamma
[31.10.2024 01:20:57] BDM|LV-Bifrost: only to jump back into Theta for our fateful encounter?
[31.10.2024 01:21:28] Mr.Harris: why fateful?
[31.10.2024 01:21:32] BDM|LV-Bifrost: lol like writing a cheesy mystery novel
[31.10.2024 01:21:39] Mr.Harris: is it fateful? nah
[31.10.2024 01:21:43] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Just a turn of phrase, please confirm if the account is correct
[31.10.2024 01:22:08] Mr.Harris: yes
[31.10.2024 01:22:15] Death: Ankher was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[31.10.2024 01:22:56] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So you willingly jumped back into Omicron Gamma after receving the jump batteries from the freelancer that happened by
[31.10.2024 01:22:57] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Why?
[31.10.2024 01:23:44] Mr.Harris: to jump back to a safe house like Berlin? But after reconizing that we cant jump from gamma we decided to jump from theta
[31.10.2024 01:23:48] BDM|LV-Bifrost: much better than messing with GPT )))
[31.10.2024 01:24:10] BDM|LV-Bifrost: No no, you said that you recieved the jump batteries in Omicron Theta, and then you returned to Gamma
[31.10.2024 01:24:23] BDM|LV-Bifrost: For what reason did you return to Omicron Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:24:35] Mr.Harris: to cehck where we can jump?
[31.10.2024 01:24:40] Mr.Harris: *check
[31.10.2024 01:24:56] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Please explain, that does not make much sense to me.
[31.10.2024 01:24:59] Mr.Harris: Cuz we want to leave the omicrons for repairs
[31.10.2024 01:25:06] Mr.Harris: sure
[31.10.2024 01:25:32] Mr.Harris: We landed in theta, recived the batts jumped to gamma, checked the systems where we can jump,
[31.10.2024 01:25:54] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So your jump navigation error took you to Omicron Theta, not gamma as you said before?
[31.10.2024 01:25:59] Mr.Harris: realised that we cant jump from gamma, so we jumped back to theta and checked theta
[31.10.2024 01:26:55] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Just to make sure I have this information correctly, your jump navigation error from hitting a large rock in O3 took you to
[31.10.2024 01:27:07] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Omicron Gamma, or Theta?
[31.10.2024 01:27:20] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Your statements seem to contradict one another
[31.10.2024 01:27:57] Mr.Harris: theta, batts recived, jump to gamma, checking jump coords, finding out that we cant jump from gamma, we jumped back to theta
[31.10.2024 01:28:28] Mr.Harris: and ye, it took a while to get back from gamma
[31.10.2024 01:28:28] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So your navigational error took you to Omicron Theta, where you received jump batteries from a freelancer
[31.10.2024 01:28:40] BDM|LV-Bifrost: After which you voluntarily entered Omicron Gamma
[31.10.2024 01:28:44] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Is this correct?
[31.10.2024 01:29:11] Mr.Harris: to check if we can jump out of gamma, yes, no big deal
[31.10.2024 01:29:52] BDM|LV-Bifrost: It's a bigger deal than you seem to believe - but we'll cover that in due time.
[31.10.2024 01:30:02] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, just to make sure we have these details correctly
[31.10.2024 01:30:07] Mr.Harris: huhh, okay
[31.10.2024 01:30:17] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Your original port of departure was in New London
[31.10.2024 01:30:30] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You departed for Omicron Delta, Freeport 11 to purchase Iridium
[31.10.2024 01:30:45] BDM|LV-Bifrost: and you were scheduled to deliver the iridium to Portsmouth in Cambridge
[31.10.2024 01:30:51] Mr.Harris: yes
[31.10.2024 01:31:05] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Along the way from New London to Omicron Delta, you entered Omega 3
[31.10.2024 01:31:19] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Where you hit a large rock, causing your jumpdrive to activate and take you to Omicron Theta
[31.10.2024 01:31:30] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Is this correct?
[31.10.2024 01:31:59] Mr.Harris: correct, after that we meet the freelancer for the batts, jumping to gamma to check coords and jumping back to theta where meet
[31.10.2024 01:32:08] Mr.Harris: *we
[31.10.2024 01:32:20] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Why did you not proceed from Omicron Theta to Delta along the route of your planned voyage?
[31.10.2024 01:32:42] Mr.Harris: Cuz navigation malfunction?
[31.10.2024 01:33:02] Mr.Harris: and we need a shipyard?
[31.10.2024 01:33:05] Mr.Harris: Berlin has one
[31.10.2024 01:33:19] Mr.Harris: *NEw Berlin, my bad
[31.10.2024 01:33:51] BDM|LV-Bifrost: But you were more than capable of jumping into New Berlin - why was this possible and getting repairs at the Freeport in Delta
[31.10.2024 01:33:53] BDM|LV-Bifrost: not possible?
[31.10.2024 01:34:28] Mr.Harris: The freport in Delta has not the capacitiy to repair a vessel with our siz, only a shipyard has the capacity
[31.10.2024 01:34:58] Mr.Harris: and we are lucky that the jd takes the correct coord for New Berlin
[31.10.2024 01:35:15] Rules Tip: Do not disconnect from the server to escape player versus player interaction. Your ship will remain helpless in space for 2 minutes and you will not be able to reconnect during this time.
[31.10.2024 01:35:18] BDM|LV-Bifrost: The Core maintains shipyard facilities for most passersby on Durban, are you barred from the Core?
[31.10.2024 01:35:30] Mr.Harris: Sometimes you have luck, sometmes you dont have luck
[31.10.2024 01:35:46] Mr.Harris: I dont want to make business with core, thats all.
[31.10.2024 01:36:18] BDM|LV-Bifrost: I see.
[31.10.2024 01:36:30] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, what was the nature of your navigational malfunction - was it purely in your jump drive?
[31.10.2024 01:36:32] Mr.Harris: With my decision to repair my vessel in New Berlin, i gave your guys work to do, which means you are making profits
[31.10.2024 01:36:59] Death: Ankher was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[31.10.2024 01:38:43] Mr.Harris: we want to check the jd and navigtinsystems to be sure that both systems running fine
[31.10.2024 01:39:07] Mr.Harris: Navigationsystems sends wrongs coords, and the jd takes the wrong coords
[31.10.2024 01:39:29] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Presumably it was fixed when you decided to jump to New Berlin
[31.10.2024 01:39:32] Mr.Harris: with means you are not getting to your destination you want sometimes
[31.10.2024 01:39:52] Mr.Harris: temporarly fixed
[31.10.2024 01:39:56] Mr.Harris: i would say
[31.10.2024 01:40:07] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So you did not know if it would work or not?
[31.10.2024 01:40:26] Mr.Harris: correct, thats the reason we want to visit a shipyeard
[31.10.2024 01:40:31] Mr.Harris: *shipyard
[31.10.2024 01:41:02] BDM|LV-Bifrost: But you were definitely aiming to jump to New Berlin on this jumpdrive, knowing that it may malfunction again
[31.10.2024 01:42:24] Mr.Harris: without a try you dont know its working? Better to try reach New Berlin instead of sitting next to the filthy corsairs, or not?
[31.10.2024 01:42:50] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Now, there's no need to resort to racist speech about the Corsairs - this is an official investigation
[31.10.2024 01:42:59] Mr.Harris: my bad
[31.10.2024 01:43:00] BDM|LV-Bifrost: we have some level of decorum to expect of such proceedings.
[31.10.2024 01:43:45] Mr.Harris: Sure
[31.10.2024 01:43:48] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You are aware that unauthorized use of Jumpdrives into Rheinland space is quite unsafe and illegal, yes?
[31.10.2024 01:44:14] Mr.Harris: oh, its not legal? I didnt knew that officer, damn
[31.10.2024 01:44:25] Mr.Harris: uhh
[31.10.2024 01:44:32] Mr.Harris: how we can solve that problem?
[31.10.2024 01:44:50] BDM|LV-Bifrost: And given that your jumpdrives were damaged from hitting a rock, that poses additional safety concerns for opening unauthorized
[31.10.2024 01:44:54] BDM|LV-Bifrost: holes in space in a populated system
[31.10.2024 01:45:03] Death: Ankher was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[31.10.2024 01:45:15] Mr.Harris: one reason more to visit your shipyard i guess
[31.10.2024 01:45:35] Mr.Harris: no one wants safety concerns
[31.10.2024 01:46:17] BDM|LV-Bifrost: The crux of this investigation is determining why your vessel elected to jump into Omicron Gamma, despite having 'temporarily
[31.10.2024 01:46:24] BDM|LV-Bifrost: functional' navigational systems in Theta
[31.10.2024 01:46:47] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Though, unauthorized use of jumpdrives into Rheinland space will also be addressed in due time
[31.10.2024 01:47:31] BDM|LV-Bifrost: If your vessel had the ability to jump after temporarily restoring jump function in Theta, why did you feel the need to jump
[31.10.2024 01:47:33] BDM|LV-Bifrost: into Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:48:34] Mr.Harris: i told you why, to check if we can jump out of gamma or theta, which system is the best opinion for that
[31.10.2024 01:48:50] BDM|LV-Bifrost: By then, your navigational systems were back online, were they not?
[31.10.2024 01:49:18] Mr.Harris: temporarly online, yes, and not working at 100%
[31.10.2024 01:49:45] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Working well enough to chart a jumphole to New Berlin - yes?
[31.10.2024 01:49:57] CONSOLE: Notice to Space Farers : Long range probes indicates approaching ION storms in 10 minutes.
[31.10.2024 01:50:14] Mr.Harris: correct, we got luck that it worked
[31.10.2024 01:50:29] Mr.Harris: and i would prefer not to sit here when the ION storm hits officers
[31.10.2024 01:50:49] Mr.Harris: dont want to damage my vessel more
[31.10.2024 01:50:58] BDM|LV-Bifrost: So, you must have known it was possible to jump from Theta to New Berlin at the time you received the batteries from the
[31.10.2024 01:51:00] BDM|LV-Bifrost: freelancer, yes?
[31.10.2024 01:51:14] Mr.Harris: we checked theta after gamma
[31.10.2024 01:51:27] BDM|LV-Bifrost: But you received the batteries in Theta, why not check then?
[31.10.2024 01:51:58] Mr.Harris: i forgot? it stressful to fly a ship with this size
[31.10.2024 01:52:11] Mr.Harris: and again officers, i prefer to dock now
[31.10.2024 01:52:14] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You forgot, so you decided to jump into Omicron Gamma?
[31.10.2024 01:52:21] Mr.Harris: dont want to get hit by the ION storm
[31.10.2024 01:52:31] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Our investigation has not concluded yet
[31.10.2024 01:52:52] Mr.Harris: ohh, so you are risking our life for a investigation????
[31.10.2024 01:52:59] Mr.Harris: really?
[31.10.2024 01:53:09] Mr.Harris: Good to know
[31.10.2024 01:53:22] [RM]KKS-Helle.Wolke: K: Libertonian lives have no meaning here, nor in the rest of Sirius.
[31.10.2024 01:53:33] Mr.Harris: wtf
[31.10.2024 01:53:36] BDM|LV-Bifrost: Very well. We will investigate suspicious OSC activities further on a later date. For now, we are issuing you a fine of 100,000
[31.10.2024 01:53:48] BDM|LV-Bifrost: credits for the illegal operation of a dangerous malfunctioning jumpdrive into New Berlin
[31.10.2024 01:53:52] [2024-10-31] 08:53:52 You have received 100.000 credits from Mr.Harris
[31.10.2024 01:53:59] BDM|LV-Bifrost: You may proceed for now, but the investigation is not over.

New Berlin LSF Encounter
Forwarded from BDM|RNC-BRYNHILDR:
While on patrol in New Berlin, the Brynhildr encountered an LSF IFF bearing BISON transport full of what appeared to be alcohol and data storage units. The vessel stopped when ordered, and stated that it was an LSF vessel hauling ale to Omicron Delta on behalf of Synthfoods - that there was some conspiracy to destroy the LSF by ordering their agents to haul for corporates, and that it would be willing to part with all of their data in exchange for escort to Sigma 13.
The Brynhildr elected to confiscate the data and escort the ship to Sigma 13.
[10.11.2024 22:53:01] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt, you are ordered to cut your engines and prepare for inspection.
[10.11.2024 22:53:22] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Eh.. Again one of MND.
[10.11.2024 22:53:54] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Your transponder says you're quite far from home. Care to explain what you are doing in a quarantined zone?
[10.11.2024 22:53:56] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Good day. This is LSF transport ship. Lost here.
[10.11.2024 22:54:14] Death: Fire-Storm was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[10.11.2024 22:54:30] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Transporting Ale to The Core in Omicron Delsta system
[10.11.2024 22:54:46] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Through Rheinland?
[10.11.2024 22:55:29] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Yea.. For my group this is not normal - tranporting things.
[10.11.2024 22:55:37] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: And what group would that be?
[10.11.2024 22:56:30] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: LSF group under commander - Crystal Frostwear.
[10.11.2024 22:56:53] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Unexpected, so you admit to being LSF?
[10.11.2024 22:57:46] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Yes... And no. Now we take this ship for some time from Synth Foods to transport Ale.
[10.11.2024 22:58:10] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: The LSF needs to rent ships from Synthfoods so their officers can ship ale?
[10.11.2024 22:59:25] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: To be honest - I think someone in LSF try to "destroy" our commander as agent of LSF.
[10.11.2024 22:59:39] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: I see.
[10.11.2024 22:59:59] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Commander take orders - we try to complete it how we can.
[10.11.2024 23:00:18] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Just so I understand this correctly - you're an LSF agent in a Synthfoods ship on orders by someone you believe is trying to
[10.11.2024 23:00:25] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: destroy the LSF by shipping ale to Omicron Delta
[10.11.2024 23:01:37] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: About destroy my commander - just my opinion. I hate flyind throu any house space.
[10.11.2024 23:02:29] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Well... seems like your organization is in a bit of a pickle.
[10.11.2024 23:03:11] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Regarding our current predicament, there's an LSF agent in New Berlin
[10.11.2024 23:03:15] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: For now I dont working for LSF straight.
[10.11.2024 23:03:34] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: In my opinion.
[10.11.2024 23:04:03] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Complicated story. Ha.
[10.11.2024 23:05:58] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: I hope you can understand my concern, then
[10.11.2024 23:06:09] /roll 1d20
[10.11.2024 23:06:09] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr rolled 6 with the formula 1d20
[10.11.2024 23:06:09] (6)
[10.11.2024 23:06:33] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Well. Maybe I share with you info about some things - and you help me fly to Sigma-13?
[10.11.2024 23:08:26] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: I'm a large quantity of data storage on your vessel. Care to explain?
[10.11.2024 23:08:37] Tip: In order to mine ore you must have the right combination of: 1) The ship, 2) The ID, 3) The IFF, 4) Mining Lasers/Turrets. For a full list of all of these combinations as well as which factions get bonuses for what ores - please visit our forums @DiscoveryGC.com
[10.11.2024 23:09:44] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Yea. About this info I talked. This is some data that our group collected while take reaserches in Kepler system.
[10.11.2024 23:09:58] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: I see.
[10.11.2024 23:10:27] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: If you surrender the data, we can escort you to Sigma 13 with the rest of your cargo intact
[10.11.2024 23:10:44] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Good.
[10.11.2024 23:11:06] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Very well, let's make our way to S13
[10.11.2024 23:13:36] Attention! Stand clear. Towing LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt
[10.11.2024 23:15:19] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: Here we are
[10.11.2024 23:15:39] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Thanks for assist. And sorry for any problems by me\us.
[10.11.2024 23:15:40] BDM|RNC-Brynhildr: In the future, I would suggest that if you are hauling for Synthfoods, that you use an appropriately demarcated vessel
[10.11.2024 23:15:52] LSF(Fw)_SFS_Humboldt: Yea. Good fly.

Luneburg (Sigma-15) After Action Report
This is Kommissaroberrat Baldur Schmidt reporting.
The Battlecruiser Saar was deployed to the Luneburg system upon hearing reports of a massive Corsair fleet. Linking up with the local defense garrison alongside Rheinwehr reinforcements, she was tasked to lead the fleet into combat. Despite some of our ships sustaining some damage, the invasion fleet was repelled, despite their superior numbers.
Notably, the Corsairs made use of a new type of capital ship, resembling a Titan, but much larger. Although this battle ended in our victory, further recon is necessary to gauge the threat level their new ship poses to Rheinland.
