Sender: Lucien Sarti, Sindacatu Corse Recipient: Corse Diaries Subject: A chat with an Outcast
Misunderstood. That we Corsicans are. By our "enemies", by our "allies" even by some of our famiglie. A true Corsican does not feel hate, envy or go after their own egoistical desires irrationally Nò, ch'è cazzate! We do what is right, for Corse.
Today I spoke with an Outcast in Burgundy - in the end, weapons did the talking, but we have discussed in length the possibilities of cooperation between Unione Corse and the Outcasts, word came to a mutual analysis of our respective products, the economics of distribution networks and monopolies, and we agreed we are not very different after all. And it certainly is nothing personal between us.
I don't know about you, but I for one don't see why two people can't have a concrete, civilised and substantial conversation right before they try to kill each other, I certainly enjoyed it, and despite attempts at each other's life, and agreement that a joint venture likely is not in the cards, I believe we parted with mutual respect for each other's goals and aims.
[20.03.2024 23:19:05] Corse-L.Sarti: Well well
[20.03.2024 23:19:12] HS>Inferno: ?: Saludos.
[20.03.2024 23:19:12] Corse-L.Sarti: Saluti Outcast
[20.03.2024 23:19:24] Corse-L.Sarti: You came to the wrong side of the jump hole
[20.03.2024 23:19:34] HS>Inferno: Hm. Did I now?
[20.03.2024 23:19:42] Corse-L.Sarti: I think so, Si *laughs*
[20.03.2024 23:19:48] Corse-L.Sarti: What the hell do you want here
[20.03.2024 23:19:56] HS>Inferno: Just taking a look around
[20.03.2024 23:20:07] Corse-L.Sarti: Oh, looking for some Nox ?
[20.03.2024 23:20:30] HS>Inferno: Obviously. Why else would I be here?
[20.03.2024 23:20:35] [OOC] GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: That's the mimium that we tought to new recruitss in UC/-; seems like it didn't go well for you, thank god there was no*
[20.03.2024 23:20:36] Corse-L.Sarti: naturally
[20.03.2024 23:20:53] Corse-L.Sarti: Do you hear some strange noises?
[20.03.2024 23:20:59] Corse-L.Sarti: *looks around*
[20.03.2024 23:21:00] HS>Inferno: No, I can't say I do
[20.03.2024 23:21:08] Corse-L.Sarti: Must have been my imagination
[20.03.2024 23:21:15] HS>Inferno: Must have been Nox.
[20.03.2024 23:21:16] Corse-L.Sarti: Well anyways, so you came the way of Nox ?
[20.03.2024 23:21:23] HS>Inferno: You know, Cardamine does not have such side effects.
[20.03.2024 23:21:28] Corse-L.Sarti: Side effects
[20.03.2024 23:21:32] Corse-L.Sarti: you don't know what you are missing
[20.03.2024 23:21:43] HS>Inferno: I'm sure.
[20.03.2024 23:21:58] HS>Inferno: Why don't we stop beating around the bush, Corsican?
[20.03.2024 23:22:02] Corse-L.Sarti: Well anywho, so how much are we talking
[20.03.2024 23:22:07] HS>Inferno: We both know well why we are here.
[20.03.2024 23:22:08] Corse-L.Sarti: How many tonnes do you want
[20.03.2024 23:22:31] Corse-L.Sarti: You LIED about our merchandise?
[20.03.2024 23:22:42] Corse-L.Sarti: Well I never !
[20.03.2024 23:22:55] Corse-L.Sarti: Are you just a hoodlum who came for a fight
[20.03.2024 23:23:07] HS>Inferno: I came for a little more
[20.03.2024 23:23:13] Corse-L.Sarti: and that is?
[20.03.2024 23:23:14] HS>Inferno: But with you here...
[20.03.2024 23:23:18] HS>Inferno: That complicates things.
[20.03.2024 23:23:27] Corse-L.Sarti: The hell else you come for Outcast!
[20.03.2024 23:23:34] HS>Inferno: [smiles]
[20.03.2024 23:23:45] Corse-L.Sarti: You sure as hell are not taking our women
[20.03.2024 23:23:52] HS>Inferno: As if I would let the Corsicans know.
[20.03.2024 23:24:03] HS>Inferno: Come a little this way...
[20.03.2024 23:24:10] HS>Inferno: And I will let you know.
[20.03.2024 23:24:19] Corse-L.Sarti: sure, tell me
[20.03.2024 23:24:30] HS>Inferno: Look at the backdrop, the scenery.
[20.03.2024 23:24:33] HS>Inferno: Isn't it wonderful?
[20.03.2024 23:24:39] Corse-L.Sarti: Oui
[20.03.2024 23:25:02] Corse-L.Sarti: So you are a tourist?
[20.03.2024 23:25:08] Corse-L.Sarti: Is that it?
[20.03.2024 23:25:10] HS>Inferno: Mm. Some have called me that before
[20.03.2024 23:25:39] Corse-L.Sarti: Si, you came to the right place
[20.03.2024 23:25:42] HS>Inferno: I was on a trip to see sights prettier than Malta. All have failed. Last time I came, some Navy patrols interrupted my sight-
[20.03.2024 23:25:44] HS>Inferno: -seeing
[20.03.2024 23:25:59] Corse-L.Sarti: Well, they can be inflexible, Si
[20.03.2024 23:25:59] HS>Inferno: And I had to show them out.
[20.03.2024 23:26:22] Corse-L.Sarti: Oh no :pretends to care: poor Navy we respect and stand behind!
[20.03.2024 23:26:34] HS>Inferno: You have at least given a chance. Ironic. The fiercest enemy is the closest to a benefactor there is.
[20.03.2024 23:27:00] Corse-L.Sarti: I don't give a damn about enemies and friends, I care about what suits the Corse
[20.03.2024 23:27:11] HS>Inferno: Corsican you know you don't hate us, deep down.
[20.03.2024 23:27:16] Corse-L.Sarti: And you damn Outcasts are an obstacle with your distribution network, nothing personal
[20.03.2024 23:27:37] Corse-L.Sarti: Hate is overrated
[20.03.2024 23:27:43] Corse-L.Sarti: So is love for that matter
[20.03.2024 23:27:48] HS>Inferno: Mhm.
[20.03.2024 23:28:03] HS>Inferno: You've even... come close, to dealing with us in the past...
[20.03.2024 23:28:14] HS>Inferno: The Corse have been... intrigued by the Orange Blessing.
[20.03.2024 23:28:19] GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: CIC: We are reinforcements. Please indicate your location.
[20.03.2024 23:28:21] Corse-L.Sarti: Well, non
[20.03.2024 23:28:28] HS>Inferno: They've... slipped visions of the Orange Dream.
[20.03.2024 23:28:37] Corse-L.Sarti: Orange dream. well let's face it
[20.03.2024 23:28:42] Corse-L.Sarti: There can be only one drug of choice
[20.03.2024 23:28:48] Corse-L.Sarti: Wouldn't you agree?
[20.03.2024 23:28:49] HS>Inferno: Can there?
[20.03.2024 23:29:00] HS>Inferno: Why so?
[20.03.2024 23:29:11] Corse-L.Sarti: Are you going to share your junkers, Rogues and the other slaves who peddle your merchandise?
[20.03.2024 23:29:18] Corse-L.Sarti: For our produce?
[20.03.2024 23:29:23] GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: CIC: .. This is for the good of Gallia, please tell us.
[20.03.2024 23:29:38] HS>Inferno: ?: [static] This is... GMS... 1-4... require... imediate.. backup! Hulll.... Buckling... [crackle]
[20.03.2024 23:29:42] Corse-L.Sarti: Seems like the lawfuls are sniffing around, no pun intended
[20.03.2024 23:29:51] HS>Inferno: ?: Please report to... G...3..~ !
[20.03.2024 23:30:07] Corse-L.Sarti: *laughs* I like your style
[20.03.2024 23:30:11] HS>Inferno: [grins]
[20.03.2024 23:30:14] HS>Inferno: That will keep them busy.
[20.03.2024 23:30:21] HS>Inferno: Now, where were we?
[20.03.2024 23:30:41] Corse-L.Sarti: Don't be a joker, like your people would be willing to share your networks with our produce
[20.03.2024 23:30:56] HS>Inferno: Hmm. You caught me, that is correct.
[20.03.2024 23:31:10] Corse-L.Sarti: There you go - our goods might do different things
[20.03.2024 23:31:18] Corse-L.Sarti: But the rich people tend to have one drug of choice
[20.03.2024 23:31:45] HS>Inferno: Riddle me this, Corsican...
[20.03.2024 23:31:45] Corse-L.Sarti: So, I don't hate you outcasts, none of us do, it's just - we compete in the same space, si?
[20.03.2024 23:32:07] Corse-L.Sarti: And it just so happens violence when nobody is looking is our go to mean, as is yours
[20.03.2024 23:32:08] HS>Inferno: What if that drug of choice was the same?
[20.03.2024 23:32:19] Corse-L.Sarti: We both know the answer
[20.03.2024 23:32:24] HS>Inferno: There would be plenty to go around.
[20.03.2024 23:32:27] Corse-L.Sarti: We have our mnonopoly, you have yours
[20.03.2024 23:32:33] Corse-L.Sarti: Who would let go of theirs
[20.03.2024 23:32:45] Corse-L.Sarti: It sure as hell wouldn't be us
[20.03.2024 23:32:48] HS>Inferno: Cardamine is much more... desirous than Nox. You have to admit it.
[20.03.2024 23:33:18] HS>Inferno: The way it can... open the mind of even the most hard-bunkered individuals...
[20.03.2024 23:33:22] HS>Inferno: It is truly like no other.
[20.03.2024 23:33:22] Corse-L.Sarti: Desirous, well, that's true in one case, to those you got addicted to it
[20.03.2024 23:33:25] Corse-L.Sarti: I give you that
[20.03.2024 23:33:36] HS>Inferno: Why don't the Corse deal Cardamine as well?
[20.03.2024 23:33:45] Corse-L.Sarti: why don't you deal with nox?
[20.03.2024 23:33:48] HS>Inferno: It would be a... truly vaster market
[20.03.2024 23:33:55] Corse-L.Sarti: It doesn't cause addiction, slaver, maybe that's why not?
[20.03.2024 23:34:14] HS>Inferno: Tell me.
[20.03.2024 23:34:25] HS>Inferno: Have you ever... experienced the joy of the... Orange Blessing?
[20.03.2024 23:34:26] Corse-L.Sarti: At least not a physical one, people don't die of nox withdrawal!
[20.03.2024 23:34:28] HS>Inferno: Maybe that is your issue.
[20.03.2024 23:34:33] HS>Inferno: Yes... I think I may see it now.
[20.03.2024 23:34:54] HS>Inferno: You haven't experienced the Dream for yourself... haven't you?
[20.03.2024 23:35:05] Corse-L.Sarti: Of course not, I am a Corsican, not an idiot *laughs*
[20.03.2024 23:35:15] HS>Inferno: Mmmm.... I think I see the problem now..
[20.03.2024 23:35:27] Corse-L.Sarti: The profitable addictive faculties are why sharp Gauls will never touch that stuff
[20.03.2024 23:35:48] HS>Inferno: No one can ever know the joy of the Orange Blessing before they've experienced it... No....
[20.03.2024 23:35:59] Corse-L.Sarti: Our drug is consumed consciously, by those intelligent, who just want new ideas
[20.03.2024 23:36:00] HS>Inferno: Corsican... why don't you come along with me..?
[20.03.2024 23:36:45] Corse-L.Sarti: You won't get me to try your drug Outcast *laughs* we know very well what it does
[20.03.2024 23:36:49] HS>Inferno: You wont ever know the full tale until you learn of what it can do...
[20.03.2024 23:36:55] HS>Inferno: Perhaps...
[20.03.2024 23:36:57] Corse-L.Sarti: We have a good idea
[20.03.2024 23:37:04] HS>Inferno: Perhaps I may need to change that.
[20.03.2024 23:37:09] Corse-L.Sarti: I am sure your people studied what we give the world as well
[20.03.2024 23:37:40] HS>Inferno: [the weapons begin to heat up]
[20.03.2024 23:37:53] Corse-L.Sarti: Is it warmer in here?
[20.03.2024 23:38:06] HS>Inferno: Corsican... we can make this... simple as can be...
[20.03.2024 23:38:14] Corse-L.Sarti: you are an antsy Outcast, this is why you need to try Nox
[20.03.2024 23:38:16] HS>Inferno: You just need to know...
[20.03.2024 23:38:20] Corse-L.Sarti: It won't addict you forever
[20.03.2024 23:38:32] HS>Inferno: Yes... you \will\ know...
[20.03.2024 23:38:39] HS>Inferno: And I will make sure of it.
[20.03.2024 23:51:12] Corse-L.Sarti was taken out by HS>Inferno (100%)
Nox run! I was caught in Rheinland, but wait!The patrol gunboat was completely bamboozled by my genius and I got away!
I have then met a JUNKER - and a business opportunity arose - he took the samples, and even invited us to use his base! Commmunication to the base the Junker was supplying Then in Bretonia - ANOTHER patrol, it seemed like they were waiting for me! I had to bamboozle them once more and get away!
That wasn't all though - right in the next system, TWO MORE! I think they bought my story about a malfunction, but just in case this time I did hide in one of their bases. They were for sure tipped off!

[23.03.2024 13:39:07] Black.1-"Cirno": Ready to rough up this bloody vagabond.
[23.03.2024 13:39:09] HMAV-Cheerful: Pleasure to have you, Black One.
[23.03.2024 13:39:11] Corse-Vacca.Grassa: Seems like there's a malfunction!

Taking the heat, time to unload
Having a bad feeling about this - these houses tipping each other off, I decided to bamboozle them once more. The Luxury Liner Barbados
Sure enough - 3rd house in a row, like they were waiting for me
He seemed disappointed when I had Luxury food after he aggressively attacked their own lanes and disrupted me - I am telling you, seems like we are being tipped off! So anyways, I bamboozled him hard, and tried to sell him the luxury goods, and trade them for the cigars later to no avail! That wasn't all though - Xeno and a hacker appear
Well, these officers were there only for me clearly, as they had no interest in pursuing a Xeno! Seems like they actually worked with him. Well anyway, he was interested, in me! I found a shelter with some locals, and while this bizarre madman was rambling on, I found a Hacker and tried to strike up a business conversation. Tough people to do business with these are - they seem to have everything they need already - bad news for a Corsican like me, we will find a way to get through to someone in Liberty besides the Junkers, I can feel it, and then - the sky is the limit! Just picture it - our activities and influence spread across the whole universe!

[23.03.2024 14:22:15] Corse-Vacca.Grassa: It's just business

One hell of a journey, now I am back home with the finest weapons money could buy from the Detroit Munitions.
Very few know about our purchase - it has not been recorded on their books either. When the Union sealed off the Taus with their minefield they couldn't turn a profit, and in a true GMS mining profit generating drone fashion, they sold it off to us at a fraction of what it cost to build - they saw it as an idle asset that has lost its purpose.
Ever since then, Lodeve has flourished - hidden away, forgotten by the lawfuls who have other things to worry about than an obscure GMS spaceport that is no longer on the books, we have turned it into a true freeport that is free as long as people play by our rules.
It has become a smuggling hub, the Maquisard Zealots buy our overpriced basic supplies for they both have no other choice, and are too blinded by their irrational hatred to realize the real value of money. Smugglers from Junkers to Freelancers of all kind are using it as the blockade busting resupply depot, and we make sure on every turn to offer them a great time, enhanced by a friendly Nox taste, on the house at first of course.
No chatter about it has been recorded by our moles within the Gallic Union - they are so concerned about their Rheinland lifeline they have all but forgotten about Languedoc. This should be the place where we welcome even the most unorthodox guests. Rumor has it the Brigands have been eyeing cardamine - where else could their meetings with the Outcasts be held than at such a truly neutral location as Lodeve has become? Where we can make sure we either profit from overseeing our arch competitor's dealings, or make it quietly dissappear.
Whatever the case is - I'm truly loving the concept of building a network of freeports that are secretly fully under our control - Lodeve has been a great success, and perhaps we should look for properties in Sirius where we could replicate this model.
