With the recent developments clearly spreading beyond a small war, I feel it necessary to inform you given your past aid with the Battlegroup. Following the build up of tension between Harmony and the Unioners and finally the detonating powder keg of us not allowing a Hellfire ship to be utterly destroyed infront of Marshall Station, the Unioners had decided to not only withhold a Hel we supplied the resources to construct, but use this warship against us when we had come to collect what was ours by agreement.
With this, alongside the Hellfire Legion successfully reconciling with the Battlegroup, we've been forced to take drastic action to defend our holdings and new friendships, ultimately culminating in open warfare with the Alster Union. I heavily doubt this came as a shock to the Unioners, but merely a plan to wipe out and seize technology of a perceived 'Rogue' Navy force to bolster their own means. I wouldn't doubt if this was planned to happen, and merely they waited until we were vulnerable to strike. Now they have, and so have we.
In conjunction with the Hellfire Legion logistics, we've formed a blockade against the Unioners around Pacifica base for their treason. To this end. We have decided to declare a full blockade around Pacifica and not allowing any supplies to be sent through. Despite wishes for third parties to remain neutral, only two have done so. The Gaians have attempted to run the blockade and provide supplies to the Alster Union and fund their war effort, effectively declaring themselves allies of the Union and enemies of the Battlegroup.
While I don't expect anything of you given your current position and resources, I do ask that at the very least, you remain neutral in this war, but given the position that the Unioners attempt to turn mostly neutral thinking factions into enemies, it would be beneficial if you would remain neutral or become a potential ally in this war. Should you decide to ally with Harmony, we will provide necessary logistical and docking points for any time you would be within the system.
Captain, This is indeed frighting news and I would have never guessed the strong ties you held with The Union would be lost. This is an unfortunate timing as the Nomad threat in Liberty is only gaining momentum. Its with a heavy heart that I condemn the hostile actions The Union has done to you and the rest of Harmony. I also Condemn their actions against the Legion Vessel as I have good relations with Lord Commander Locklear. The Unioners dealt a blow to two respectable organizations that are willing to combat the Nomad Threat and I can't allow Harmony or the Legion, to be weakened by their greed and paranoia. The Amenhotep will make its way to Marshall Station to bolster its defenses and ensure the blockade around Pacifica is upheld, With your permission that is. Consider The Amenhotep an ally in the war effort to minimize the losses of Harmony and the Legion.
You'll find plenty of space at Marshall's drydock for the Amenhotep. I look forward to being able to talk to you in person about the current situation.
Captain, As I made my way to Marshall I met with Felicity, she seems to have the impression that I will do what she says and I am bound to the Lane Hackers or whatever. Point is I am not going to play along and betray Harmony by leaking Intel to the Lane Hackers so they can use it against you in the future. Honestly I feel disrespected, the audacity to come to me and ask me to pretty much spy and influence you to make decisions that would benefit the Lane Hackers is insane. Do with this what you will. Just know, The Lane Hackers are NOT your friends and they are NOT as they seem.
[19.08.2018 04:33:19] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: We have you on approach Felicity. Welcome.
[19.08.2018 04:34:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: Good afternoon, Mr.Kalh.
[19.08.2018 04:34:18] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Always a pleasure.
[19.08.2018 04:34:33] LH~Felicity.Willing: Honestly, it is a little surprising to see you here.
[19.08.2018 04:35:04] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: How so? You know Harmony see eye to eye.
[19.08.2018 04:35:15] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: With The Amenhotep.
[19.08.2018 04:35:46] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, Harmony requested your presence?
[19.08.2018 04:36:47] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Negative, I dont requier permission to visit. I am here merely "checking in" per say.
[19.08.2018 04:37:32] LH~Felicity.Willing: I see. A mere visit of pure friendship, is it?
[19.08.2018 04:38:30] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: You took the words right out of my mouth. I also wanted to see if Harmony has any updates on the Nomads in
[19.08.2018 04:38:32] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Liberty.
[19.08.2018 04:39:11] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, you are not aware of the recent drama occurance right under their noses, here, in Bering?
[19.08.2018 04:39:52] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I have heard the Rumors, I am sure with my visid, Captain Linford will fill me in.
[19.08.2018 04:40:43] LH~Felicity.Willing: I could 'fill you in' right away, if you desire. From a standpoint of a certain person who have been eager to share what he-
[19.08.2018 04:40:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: -withnessed back in the day.
[19.08.2018 04:41:38] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: You have my attention Felicity, please continue.
[19.08.2018 04:42:47] LH~Felicity.Willing: In short - after a long and heated argument, Harmony command personel gave an order to openly engage Alster Union agent.
[19.08.2018 04:43:25] LH~Felicity.Willing: The reason for this were the Alster Union acquiring certain... incriminating evidence against the Battlegroup.
[19.08.2018 04:44:07] LH~Felicity.Willing: Soon after, a Nuclear EMP payload have struck Pacifica. Launched by Hellfire Legion.
[19.08.2018 04:45:11] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, basically - Harmony turned their backs on those who once ensured their survival and granted them refuge.
[19.08.2018 04:45:20] LH~Felicity.Willing: In attempt to hide their own flaws.
[19.08.2018 04:45:33] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: What incriminating evidence did the Union have?
[19.08.2018 04:46:16] LH~Felicity.Willing: Of Harmony falling to collaborate with Hellfire Legion. The latter occurance have only prooven that stance.
[19.08.2018 04:46:55] LH~Felicity.Willing: Like, why else would a person in his sane mind utilize a nuclear EMP warhead?
[19.08.2018 04:47:17] LH~Felicity.Willing: If they were not provoked to do this - they were asked to do this.
[19.08.2018 04:47:42] LH~Felicity.Willing: And they considered it a good opportunity to 'get rid of the scum' at the Liberty's backyard.
[19.08.2018 04:48:17] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I dont really know what to say... This is unfortunate at best.
[19.08.2018 04:48:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: This is not the smartest move from Harmony - at best.
[19.08.2018 04:49:21] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Bering is now weaker for it, once Liberty finds out the discord between Harmony and The Unioners they will strike.
[19.08.2018 04:50:28] LH~Felicity.Willing: This might be the end of Liberty separatists, as the Navy is known for capability of assembling... an overwhelming force.
[19.08.2018 04:50:55] LH~Felicity.Willing: I am also certain about mercenary groups will be eager to mess around for their paychecks.
[19.08.2018 04:51:19] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: If I may ask, what is the Lane Hackers view point on this issue?
[19.08.2018 04:51:22] LH~Felicity.Willing: War is the creed of soldiers - and mercenaries.
[19.08.2018 04:51:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: Professors have decided to maintain neutral stance and pick no sides.
[19.08.2018 04:52:13] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: A fair and just move.
[19.08.2018 04:52:17] LH~Felicity.Willing: However, it was made clear that we will not tolerate misuse of our technologies - against the Alster Union.
[19.08.2018 04:52:53] LH~Felicity.Willing: Hopefully, this will hinder the conflict for a while.
[19.08.2018 04:53:24] LH~Felicity.Willing: During this time i might prepare some personal 'trap cards' to end this heresy.
[19.08.2018 04:53:33] LH~Felicity.Willing: In a way beneficial for us.
[19.08.2018 04:54:40] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Harmony will just use thier Naval assets if needed. Trying to stop a war is hard to acomplish, must be some heavy cards.
[19.08.2018 04:54:54] LH~Felicity.Willing: As a brief summary... Harmony should not forget it's roots and who pulled them out of the dirt they found themselves in.
[19.08.2018 04:55:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: Stopping a war was never an easy task. However, we might bring in the best conditions to accomplish the task.
[19.08.2018 04:55:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: And then - just entrust everything to the luck of the draw.
[19.08.2018 04:56:05] LH~Felicity.Willing: The game have already begun, Mr.Kalh.
[19.08.2018 04:56:35] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Indeed it has, and it seems im on the fence here.
[19.08.2018 04:57:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: If everything plays along correctly - this hopefully will resolve peacefully. Defeat is unacceptable.
[19.08.2018 04:59:00] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I am upset to be really honest. This conflict is going to cost time in the efforts against the Infected Forces.
[19.08.2018 04:59:46] LH~Felicity.Willing: Perhaps, you should remind Miss Linford of their true purpose. On personal meeting.
[19.08.2018 05:00:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: Remind them that these minor quarrels are harmful for Battlegroup in the first place.
[19.08.2018 05:00:54] LH~Felicity.Willing: It wouldn't take much of an effort to cut them down now and turn this system into a deserted graveyard.
[19.08.2018 05:01:20] LH~Felicity.Willing: Like it happened with Toledo, that now houses over a million of nameless graves.
[19.08.2018 05:02:20] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I will present these valid points to Captain Linford.
[19.08.2018 05:03:11] LH~Felicity.Willing: If it is possible - my name should not be mentioned when doing so.
[19.08.2018 05:03:36] LH~Felicity.Willing: It is completely unnecessary for miss Linford to know someone is playing around with her mind.
[19.08.2018 05:05:09] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Well, I dont think anyone would like that. I Know I will.
[19.08.2018 05:05:20] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Will not, rather.
[19.08.2018 05:05:57] LH~Felicity.Willing: That's why i would prefer my identity to stay veiled in that case. I assume you understand.
[19.08.2018 05:06:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: Also, if it is possible - i would like the results of this conversation to be transferred to me. Privately.
[19.08.2018 05:07:22] LH~Felicity.Willing: I need to have the full view before my eyes to set up correct 'trap cards' here and there.
[19.08.2018 05:07:57] LH~Felicity.Willing: *Inhales* Also - Cardamine and a bit of imagination.
[19.08.2018 05:09:26] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I will see what I can do, I hope things go well during our talk. Never tried Cardamine never sparked my interest really.
[19.08.2018 05:10:25] LH~Felicity.Willing: So do i. I will be looking forward to hearing from you, Mr. Kalh.
[19.08.2018 05:10:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: Whichever the outcome will be - a small gesture of gratitude will be directed to your Neural net account.
[19.08.2018 05:11:16] LH~Felicity.Willing: After you complete your part of our agreement, of course.
[19.08.2018 05:11:31] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Naturally.
[19.08.2018 05:11:47] LH~Felicity.Willing: Actually, now that i come to think of it...
[19.08.2018 05:12:23] LH~Felicity.Willing: Mr. Kalh, would you do me a little... favor of sorts, given your interest in concluding this conflict?
[19.08.2018 05:12:49] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: What do you have in mind?
[19.08.2018 05:13:34] LH~Felicity.Willing: Supply me with information Harmony will be providing you with. It will allow me to act more efficient in my efforts.
[19.08.2018 05:14:07] LH~Felicity.Willing: The conclusion of this war will be our reward, yet, despite that, your efforts will be rewarded, nonetheless.
[19.08.2018 05:14:30] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: This is a dangerous game you play Felicity.
[19.08.2018 05:14:54] LH~Felicity.Willing: No big surprise, Mr.Kalh. Life of a Hacker is dangerous as it is.
[19.08.2018 05:15:18] LH~Felicity.Willing: If i would be unprepared for this would've sit at my corner trembling in terror.
[19.08.2018 05:16:05] LH~Felicity.Willing: But you're one of those who knows best i would never afford such behavior.
[19.08.2018 05:16:29] LH~Felicity.Willing: Besides.
[19.08.2018 05:16:40] LH~Felicity.Willing: Do not forget, Mr. Kalh. I am a Lane Hacker.
[19.08.2018 05:17:00] LH~Felicity.Willing: I know how to take care of myself properly.
[19.08.2018 05:17:27] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Only yourself, Lane Hackers have a knack for leaving those not fit to keep up, persay.
[19.08.2018 05:18:08] Death: Dorabray was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[19.08.2018 05:18:33] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Once of the reasons I dont leave my Osiris, we all have our ways to keep ourselves alive.
[19.08.2018 05:18:34] LH~Felicity.Willing: If this will turn me into a rogue element - so be it. I have given my promise to a man.
[19.08.2018 05:18:47] LH~Felicity.Willing: And Hackers' promises are carver in granite for anyone.
[19.08.2018 05:19:15] LH~Felicity.Willing: If following our guidelines will be considered a treason - i will just let it happen, to resolve it some other day.
[19.08.2018 05:19:33] LH~Felicity.Willing: We have other matter to attend right now.
[19.08.2018 05:19:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: Are you with me?
[19.08.2018 05:20:54] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Yes, I am with you. Lets ensure this conflict ends quickly.
[19.08.2018 05:21:18] LH~Felicity.Willing: I will do my best to set things up properly.
[19.08.2018 05:21:30] LH~Felicity.Willing: I expect the same from you.
[19.08.2018 05:21:48] LH~Felicity.Willing: Well then, if it settled - i will take my leave now.
[19.08.2018 05:21:58] LH~Felicity.Willing: It was a pleasure, Mr.Kalh. I will be in touch.
[19.08.2018 05:22:06] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I look foward to it.
[19.08.2018 05:22:16] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Safe Skies,
[19.08.2018 05:22:21] LH~Felicity.Willing: To you as well.
[19.08.2018 05:22:32] LH~Felicity.Willing: And remember - for Harmony, this meeting have never happened.
[19.08.2018 05:22:42] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: it never does.
The Lane Hackers are after all, working to further their own goals. Their official stance is neutrality in this matter, but on a personal level I only wonder how long it lasts. I would prefer them to not interfere, as doing so wouldn't give any substantial gain. It doesn't surprise me that Hacker agents are operating independently to put an end to this war, after all we no longer permit Unioner transports to operate within the artifact trade. Naturally this has troubled one part of the Hackers operations and ofcourse they'd prefer this situation returns to normal. I do appreciate your honesty regarding this matter. Despite the Professorships neutrality officially, I expected independent agents to pull missions like this. Trying to incriminate us.
Now, this gives a specific opportunity to act out against this agent. Whether they've been sent by the Professors or is acting of their own accord doesn't concern me. I have worst case scenario contingencies planned but I would much, much prefer the Hackers remain in their current position, rather than choosing either our or the Unioners' sides. But naturally, the Unioners intend to involve outside factors, forcing us to do the same. Now the Gaian's have made blockade runners to funnel light supplies to drip-feed the survival of Pacifica. However the infrequent and low amount of supplies to reach, it only prologues suffering. If the Unioners wish to play this field of war by involving as many other factions as possible, it's only fair we play with information warfare.
This Hacker agent may be quietly funneling information to the Unioners. Tactical assessments, fleet positions, strengths, future operations, etc. Now, how to play this game is to stage our meeting aboard Marshall. We may discuss specifics there. For now, you should know, a Hacker was assigned in oversight as per the agreement between us and them. This channel has been securely encrypted to ensure this information does not fall into the Hackers' hands.
Captain, The Gaians have joined in on this little party is quite unusual. Anyways, the Lane Hackers and their "Stance" is nothing but a farce in my opinion, They always try to be on the "winning" side of things and I to be really honest, I dont care for a bunch of out-dated individuals who think they can control everything. You see I am what they fear, They cant control me and I do as I please, I only appear to be foolish, it makes them believe they can manipulate me and to be honest I am tired of playing the peasant. Eventually they will be on the losing side.
Now that I got that rambling off my chest, When would you like to have this meeting aboard Marshall Station?
Captain, The Amenhotep is in position and I have been in somewhat contact with the Unioners. They say they have civilians hurt and cant treat them due to the blockade. I gave them the opportunity to give Harmony what is owed but they still refuse. With the Amenhotep at your side, I see no issue with the option of charging in and destroying the defence turrets on Pacifica and capturing the base. The Hel you ordered might be destroyed in the process but the price of a Hel and a shipyard is incomparable What do you think?
