It has been a while now, Professor Diogenes Heinlein still hasn't been in contact with me. It wouldn't surprise me if he catastrophically died from a chemical imbalance caused within his laboratory. Nevertheless, I have put the Wraith to good use, It seems working under the veil of Rheinland Engineering has it's perks. I have not yet been apprehended by the Federal Polize here in Rheinland. In fact, the majority of people here haven't taken a second glance at me. It seems this has fit well in to my plans.
I came across a Red Hessian, Quite the suicidal chap. Mind you I suppose he compensated in skill, Given he already killed one pilot, in doing so, the other pilot fled.

Ryan.Bishop: Well..
Ryan.Bishop: I have some business here, that I need to attend too.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: Do you like what you see? This society around you?
Ryan.Bishop: It's odd.
Ryan.Bishop: For anyone to openly engage a target near a station opposing you, that seems pretty bizarre for one.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: One of them still died.
Ryan.Bishop: Ah, then I suppose you compensate in skill.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: It's not hard to disperse the hull of those with an ego the size of a planet.
Ryan.Bishop: Mind you, it's not hard to rid of a pilot that couldn't hit the broad side of a battle transport.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: The entire Rheinland Military.
Ryan.Bishop: I see that you have managed to pressure them enough by yourself.
Ryan.Bishop: I would imagine a group of you could keep this system on lock down for a short time too.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: When we band together, it sometimes seems possible, ja.
RNC-Spiegelei: What's going on here?
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: Idle conversation.
Ryan.Bishop: I wouldn't mind accompanying you to your home.
Ryan.Bishop: So that I may meet your peers.
Ryan.Bishop: Thats if you wouldn't mind.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: Perhaps that can be arranged. For now I have business to attend to. You may contact me at any time via the neural net.
Ryan.Bishop: Good.
Ryan.Bishop: I will be in contact with you.
[RHA]Lukas.Olker: Gut. Until next time.
Perhaps If I develop a friendship with the Hessians, they could assist me if I cause a mess within Rheinland. I suppose there is nothing wrong with having a few back up plans put in place. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to go out of my way to cause as much noise as I can whilst I'm here. Who knows, I may have to escape Rheinland once I'm done here. You can never be too careful.
He didn't exactly give me a secure channel to contact him on, I wouldn't want the Rheinland Military monitoring everything I do. I didn't fancy chasing him around Rheinland to obtain them either. So I decided to venture out to Omega 11, after over hearing a conversation between a bunch of Rheinland Federal Polize representatives within the bar on Brandenburg Border Station. A Distress call suggesting there was Red Hessian activity within Omega 11. Upon arrival I was greeted by an entire capital fleet, It seems the Red Hessians are well armed, They were sieging a base too, a Café of some sort.

Ryan.Bishop: But would you perhaps spare some time after you have dealt with this.
Ryan.Bishop: So that we may converse in a more comfortable manner.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Certainly, herr Bishop
Ryan.Bishop: Thank you Captain.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: So, you wanted something, herr Bishop?
Ryan.Bishop: Yes.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: I'm listening
Ryan.Bishop: I will be in contact with Lucas very soon.
Ryan.Bishop: In regards to establishing communications.
Ryan.Bishop: However, I require a secure channel
Ryan.Bishop: To transmit from Rheinland.
Ryan.Bishop: I would not want my position nor the Hessians position to be compromised whilst I am in contact with you.
Ryan.Bishop: Is there perhaps, a station I can feed a secure line through?
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: We are the Red Hessian Army
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Every Junker will tell you, that our main base is Vogtland
Ryan.Bishop: Will you be able to provide me with access codes to a secure channel their.
Ryan.Bishop: So that I may transmit a message to Lucas in regards to a private matter.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: I will be able to do that. But who the hell are you? And who's that Lucas you're talking about?
Ryan.Bishop: He is an operative within the Red Hessian Army, I only caught his first name.
Ryan.Bishop: Hence my predicament.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: I know only Lucas Olker and he's definitely not the one in charge
Ryan.Bishop: That may be him, This is of low priority, Don't worry yourself.
Ryan.Bishop: I'm sure whatever message I send to him in good faith will be freely conveyed back to your group regardless.
Ryan.Bishop: I am only in Rheinland for a short time.
Ryan.Bishop: I would like to make good use of my time here, by establishing contacts.
Ryan.Bishop: That may be of some use to me in the future.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Guess you'll be able to dock at Vogtland, but only under our direct control. Having friends like
fraulein Steffanie...
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Is not something that works within your favour.
Ryan.Bishop: I don't know her, Nor is "she" an acqaintance of mine.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Fine, follow me
Ryan.Bishop: On your wing captain.
Ryan.Bishop: It seems my IFF may be inclined to prevent me from docking on said base.
Ryan.Bishop: Perhaps you know of someone who can alter this for me?
Ryan.Bishop: I would like a good reputuation with the Hessians, after all, So that I don't cause any unnecessary problems.
Ryan.Bishop: If you show me the location of your station
Ryan.Bishop: I will be quite happy to revisit at a time when my reputation is some what adequate.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: I will
Ryan.Bishop: Thank you for your kindness captain.
Ryan.Bishop: It is appreciated.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Here it is
Ryan.Bishop: Ah, Excellent.
Ryan.Bishop: Once again I appreciate it.
Ryan.Bishop: Will you be able to get the access codes for me now.
Ryan.Bishop: I'm sure if you speak with a represenatative aboard Vogtland, they will provide me with one.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Vogtland comm officer, this is Siegfried Draay, personal code - ******. Inform Oberkommando that the removal operation was successful
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: Plus, a ship under the call sign - Ryan.Bishop is cleared to dock. Make sure he is closely monitored.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: He will be my responsibility.
[RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung: That is all for now herr Bishop. If you cause any trouble. Well, you won't like the outcome, capiche?
Ryan.Bishop: Absolutely.
Ryan.Bishop: I will be in contact very soon.
Vogtland Station Traffic Control Alert: [RHA]RHB-Gotterdamerung has requested to dock.
Finally, Professor Diogenes Heinlein has replied to my transmission and has granted me access to laboratory space aboard the BDM|LV-Eir. Of course a laboratory within planetary confinement would be disapproved, any tampering with a nomad power cell could result in a catastrophic turn of events. I imagine we could contain the blast aboard the BDM|LV-Eir.
I will have to contact aerelm to do some more work for me, It seems the Padua Liberty Rogues are getting tiresome of my efforts to establish some sort of trust with them. Time consumption weighs a heavy burden amongst my shoulders, hopefully that will soon change.
It seems I may have to return to Liberty for a brief time. I need to contact Lord Moka and see if I can some how render our little agreement. I may be in need of a safe house much sooner than I originally anticipated. Perhaps if I offer something else that may be of some interest to him, he will be confident enough to allow me the privilege to access a safe house much sooner. Once I have finished my business there, I will return to Rheinland.
I managed to track a signal from Rheinland into Liberty, It lead me to an operative of the Padua Liberty Rogues. Hopefully he will be able to direct me to Lord Moka. I suppose it would be ideal for me to contact him prior to my arrival in Liberty. The vessel I am in isn't exactly fitting for venturing through said House, especially since it is against Liberty Law. I'll just have to be discreet about it.

Ryan.Bishop: But I spoke to a Lord Moka.
PLRefinite.Trouble: Forgive me, but who are you?

PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Moka: Mr Bishop, have you got those heads for me yet?
Ryan.Bishop: I'm afraid not Lord Moka, I have been some what busy with pressing matters.
Ryan.Bishop: But It seems with the time I have now, I am quite capable and able to commit to the job.
Ryan.Bishop: However, there are some "minor issues"
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: This isn't starting to sound good, Mr Bishop
Ryan.Bishop: Well, allow me to explain.
Ryan.Bishop: Recently, I have been monitored by Internal Affairs.
Ryan.Bishop: I believe I was being followed.
Ryan.Bishop: I had to escape to Rheinland for a time.
Ryan.Bishop: I also have some business there.
Ryan.Bishop: Anyway, I am en route to Liberty as we speak.
Ryan.Bishop: Of course, I am using a separate ship as of now.
Ryan.Bishop: A ship that may further compromise my position here within Liberty.
Ryan.Bishop: So I have to be discreet.
Ryan.Bishop: Perhaps we can meet, so we can discuss our business together more comfortably.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Hmmm, I'm en route for some interdiction operations near Pueblo, you can meet me in the Colorado system.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I'll be there in 10 minutes. Don't keep me waiting.
Well that's fortuitous, at least he is willing to meet with me again. I remember the last time I met with him and his gang. It almost lead to them following a conversation up with a battle razor to my face. Hopefully it will be a bit more pleasant this time.

PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: There is always a back up plan, my friend.
Ryan.Bishop: I have no doubt.
Ryan.Bishop: I have had to resort to asking an operative of mine to assist me in my endeavours.
Ryan.Bishop: I do hope you can empathize for my situation at current.
Ryan.Bishop: It seems, I am a wanted man.
Ryan.Bishop: Although it hasn't been publicly announced just yet.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Well, One hundred heads is a big task to fulfil.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: But on the same token, an enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?
Ryan.Bishop: True.
Ryan.Bishop: I have asked mister Aerelm to assist me.
Ryan.Bishop: Judging from the work he has done for me thus far.
Ryan.Bishop: He seems to be a trust worthy person.
Ryan.Bishop: Of course, I am still awaiting his reply.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Aerelm? I've not heard of this name before
Ryan.Bishop: You will have a chance to meet him, I'm sure.
Ryan.Bishop: I may need to use your station as a hide out, things have occurred that I did not anticipate.
Ryan.Bishop: That's if your willing to allow me such a privilege.
Ryan.Bishop: I know it's not exactly the deal we cut.
Ryan.Bishop: But I can assist you in whatever operations you may have for me.
Ryan.Bishop: Whilst spending any time their.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: So allow me to get this straight;
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: You wanted refuge, you were given a task.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: The task is not complete, yet you still seek refuge.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: It appears you're wasting my time Mr Bishop
Ryan.Bishop: Not Necessarily.
Ryan.Bishop: Rumour has it.
Ryan.Bishop: That your in possession of a Liberty Dreadnought.
Ryan.Bishop: Now, it's none of my business as to how you obtained it.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Such rumours are rumoured to be correct. What have you heard?
Ryan.Bishop: You seem to forget Lord Moka, I am an agent by nature.

Ryan.Bishop: And it has been seen.
Ryan.Bishop: Trade Lane Cameras are a delight.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Hmm, alright. Go on.
Ryan.Bishop: Well.
Ryan.Bishop: How would you like a bonus feature for that new toy of yours?
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Depends what this feature is, and what it's going to cost me.
Ryan.Bishop: Well, permanent rights to access your safe house.
Ryan.Bishop: And storage space, so that I may launch operations and conduct research upon said station.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Hmm, and this 'bonus feature'?
Ryan.Bishop: I have a number of things you may be interested in.
Ryan.Bishop: Let's just say, The Liberty Security Force isn't in short supply of blue prints.

PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Well now, that's got my attention.
Ryan.Bishop: Ah good. So we can agree on something.
Ryan.Bishop: Now Lord Moka, I do not expect you to think for one moment that I won't complete the first task you assigned to me.
Ryan.Bishop: However, Some assistance would be nice.
Ryan.Bishop: I wouldn't want to compromise our future friendship because I was bone idle.
Ryan.Bishop: You will have your heads.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I see, give me a minute.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: (A slight inaudible mumble is heard over the comm's)
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Where are your operations taking place, and will they interfere with Rogue operations?
Ryan.Bishop: They won't interfere with Rogue operations.
Ryan.Bishop: And mainly here within Liberty.
Ryan.Bishop: In fact the majority of my operations will conspire against lawful forces.
Ryan.Bishop: I'm sure that is pleasant news for you.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Anywhere more specific than others? I don't want to base you on the other side of the Empire.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: To where you intend to operate that is.
Ryan.Bishop: Well...
Ryan.Bishop: I operate within Rheinland also. But that is taken care of.
Ryan.Bishop: I may need access to your station in Galileo, as I may have business to attend to in Kusari too.
Ryan.Bishop: Given that is one of the border systems.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Say I put you on a base in New York, would that suit your needs? It's bang smack in the middle of Kusari and Rheinland borders.
Ryan.Bishop: It would, however, I would like access to Padua Station.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I see.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: (More inaudible murmuring is heard)
Ryan.Bishop: One more thing Lord Moka.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: (The murmuring stops)
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Yes?
Ryan.Bishop: If my position here within Liberty is compromised.
Ryan.Bishop: I may need you to bail me out of whatever situation I am in.
Ryan.Bishop: Do you think.
Ryan.Bishop: You have the necessary contacts to brake a person out of let's say..
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Or one of those secret types I've heard about?
Ryan.Bishop: I know protocol. They will likely send me to Sugarland before transporting me to Mitchell.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Hmm.
Ryan.Bishop: I'm sure the Lane Hackers will be eager to get me out too.
Ryan.Bishop: So you will have allies along side you in this effort, that's to say if this occurs.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Well, we're good at getting men out of the Laws grasps. If the fuzz don't know we're after a bad LSF pilot, it'll be a piece of cake.
Ryan.Bishop: I don't intend on being apprehended.
Ryan.Bishop: But if worst comes to worse. The Liberty Security Force don't really know about this vessel at current.
Ryan.Bishop: That should buy you some time before they figure out who I am.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I think we can safely say, I can get you out from Sugarland, it's only a holding pen for short termers.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I just need to get a contact on the inside to alert us when shuttles leave.
Ryan.Bishop: Good.
Ryan.Bishop: That's if worse comes to worst of course.
Ryan.Bishop: Also, I have business with Aerelm and another called Pennybrooke.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Am I too expect these people on my base as well?
Ryan.Bishop: If they are with me, you may have to put up with them a short time depending on the situation.
Ryan.Bishop: I will promptly leave Liberty once our business is concluded.
Ryan.Bishop: But I, on the other hand, may return in the future.
Ryan.Bishop: When I say for a short time, I mean ten minutes tops.
Ryan.Bishop: Liberty will search for me every were.
Ryan.Bishop: So I will have no intention of sticking around.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Right, I think we can arrange it.
Ryan.Bishop: Good.
Ryan.Bishop: I have some business to attend to in Rheinland.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: I also need to conclude my mission
Ryan.Bishop: Is it the jump drive you would like then?
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Yes, I want a jump drive that is able to get my Beaut out of danger quick
Ryan.Bishop: Not a problem.
Ryan.Bishop: I will have the blue prints at the ready, when I return from Rheinland.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: For that, you can utilize Padua base at your discretion. But I'll be eager for these prints, don't leave me hanging.
Ryan.Bishop: I have an automated transmission ready too.
Ryan.Bishop: It will alert you of my current whereabouts and situation, that's when I will need you to save my ass, if this occurs of course.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Very well
Ryan.Bishop: Excellent.
Ryan.Bishop: I shall let you go on your way.
Ryan.Bishop: Always a pleasure Lord Moka.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Indeed, I'll be expecting the call, Mr Bishop.
Ryan.Bishop: Take care my friend.
PLR:Ultimate.Anticlimax: Good luck on your mission.
Ryan.Bishop: To you as well.
Well I don't think that could have gone any better. Snatching the Blue prints for the Jump Drive will be easy, I can upload them to my neural net from our main storage archive. Unbelievable really, considering I'm going to all this effort to get an Avenger Class Vessel for Aerelm. But when it comes to ships they're always a pain in the ass.
I suppose I better get back to Rheinland, I'll spend some time on Brandenburg Border Station to get some rest and directions to the Koeln System. Hopefully the bartender can upload the best path to my neural net, then it's easy sailing.
It seems I have had to return to Liberty once again. I have my team of technicians standing by on Ames Research Station, ready to collect the Avenger that the Liberty Navy graciously permitted to myself as a means to improve it. Fact of the matter is, We will be manufacturing a replica Avenger and analysing the vessel's blue prints. I am sure Tommy Taylor, can some how keep the Liberty Navy satisfied by making some improvement's on the vessel. But if not, It doesn't matter, because I will be in Rheinland, away from any stress that befalls me.
aerelm has made great head way in regards to establishing contact with Pennybrooke and he has even offered to assist me with some of my other assignments. Of course, being within the Liberty Security Force has it's perks, monitoring everything mister aerelm does, has some what landed a potential contact for me later on.
I trust that aerelm's contact will have the job done for me in a timely manner. Once the task has been completed, I will be trusted by the Padua Liberty Rogues. I have also taken the liberty of downloading the Jump Drive blue prints that Lord Moka requested of me from the Liberty Security Forces main archive. It wasn't exactly hard, my promotion to Sergeant within the Liberty Security Force granted me access and influence to a number of different databases. This will also put me in a much better position with the Padua Liberty Rogues, allowing me to expand my wings further.
All this back and forth between Rheinland and Liberty is driving me crazy. An operative of mine within the Liberty Security Force has conveyed a message back to me from the directorate. Apparently I will be playing body guard for a group of Ageira technicians that want to venture into Gallia to run some scans on Gallic Trade Lanes and Gallic Jump Gates. Apparently I'm the man for the job. Oh well, I guess I better crack on with it.

The operation was a success, it was a long journey. It kind of feels nice to be back home for a change. It's too bad I'll be heading back to Rheinland tomorrow. At times like these you learn to appreciate what you have always had. Venturing into hostile territory, fighting off nomad incubi and becoming a fugitive in my home is something I never set out to do. Yet I can't just throw away everything I have learned. Mind you, recently I can't help but utter the words "I must find it." Perhaps I am insane after all.
Upon arrival of the New London system I came across a "Rheinlander" named Franziska Kuhn, I was unfamiliar with this particular person, but "it" was all but familiar with me now. I had originally travelled to Bretonia once again to meet with an operative of mine. But when I got there I received news that he had disappeared. None of this made any sense. How can someone just disappear, it wasn't too long ago that he had contacted me, telling me he found something. What was this all about. I'll have to do some digging after I have finalised my studies within Rheinland. There is something really wrong going on here.
Upon returning back to Liberty, I found that Mister Taylor had successfully processed the blue prints for me. Mister aerelm seemed some what relieved. Now that the easy work was over, it was time to steal the Avenger. Rheinland is my safest bet right now, I will have to notify mister aerelm of the sudden change of plans. I'm sure he will be pleased to get out of Liberty. It seems we will have to arrange to meet Pennybrooke within Rheinland too. This is convenient as I can now experiment on the rare nomad power cell I have within my possession along side Pennybrooke and quite possibly Professor Diogenes Heinlein.
I am feeling uneasy about all of this. I sense that I won't be able to return to Liberty. It won't take them long to click on to what we are doing. I firmly believe that the Liberty Security Force will try to apprehend me at once. I will have to reach my safe house and operate within my Wraith class vessel. This is it now...
I have been trying to contact my operative within Bretonia now for one week. After hearing about his sudden disappearance, I took it upon myself to travel to the Kansas system. I had received Intel from his associate, that this was his last known location. This was rather fortuitous, As a research team wanted to conduct studies into that system. It seemed like an ideal way to make some more money and conduct some research of my own. They insisted on having protection with them, so I hired some Lane Hackers for the job. Some friends so to speak. They where all but familiar with what I was getting up to, well to an extent anyway. It seems my name got around quite fast.
A voice is heard in the background.
Well it looks like it's time to crack on. I'll be recording everything on the way.

Kansas Operation #907876-32423-T9 Wrote:Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Mister Bishop, I am picking up strange signals within this area.
Ryan.Bishop: Ryan Bishop: Aye, I am picking up on it also, I have also located a vessel, all systems are none operational, no life detected.
Kansas Operation #907876-32423-T8 Wrote:Ryan.Bishop: Ryan Bishop: I am, however picking up a manifest of some sort.
Ryan.Bishop: Ryan Bishop: Uploading to neural net log.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Be advised mister Bishop, I am picking up unknown readings not to far from your position.
Ryan.Bishop: Oh dear god.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: What is it?
Ryan.Bishop: It appears to be a Jump gate of some sort.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Impossible.
Ryan.Bishop: It appears to be Uknown.
Ryan.Bishop: No further information on it so far.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Does it appear to be active at all?
Ryan.Bishop: Running scans.
Great! another Alien Gate. This is surreal, The Gate itself doesn't look to be in the best of conditions. Barely functioning in fact.
Kansas Operation #907876-32423-T7 Wrote:K'Hara|Harbinger: (as the ship would approach closer to the gate the artifact emits faint pulsating glow)
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Be advised mister Bishop, I am picking up readings from the Artifact within your hold.
Ryan.Bishop: They are faint signals, it appears to be transmitting.
Ryan.Bishop: Perhaps if I get closer to the gate.
Ryan.Bishop: What... What was that!?
Ryan.Bishop: This gate... It felt like something was blocking the entrance to it...
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Readings had shot through the roof upon collision, now they are faint again.
Ryan.Bishop: Interesting...
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Shall we deploy our energy field equipment?
Ryan.Bishop: Field Generators now online, are you reading anything?
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: I am picking up massive readings sir. But nothing visual.
Ryan.Bishop: Can you convey Generator images to my screen please, I'll see if there are any audible traces.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Certainly, Uploading now.
Ryan.Bishop: Lane Hacker: I don't like this.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: If it's anything in the interest of science you Hackers, never did "like it"
Ryan.Bishop: Lane Hacker: It's a bad omen.
K'Hara|Harbinger: (Artifact seems steadily pulsating within close proximity but still very faintly, what it runs from isn't enough)
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Hardly anything to worry about. Scanners are clear, the readings must be coming from the Gate itself.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Artifact signals are remaining stable.
Ryan.Bishop: I wonder...
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Hmm?
Ryan.Bishop: Maybe the Hacker is right and this is a "Bad Omen"
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Deploying second Field Generator.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Perhaps this will pick up on something.
Ryan.Bishop: I want all the Generators deployed around the perimeter of this gate.
Ryan.Bishop: If there is anything else here, It will surely pick up on it.
K'Hara|Harbinger: (the gate remains dormant. how long it had been like that is anyone's guess)
Ryan.Bishop: All Generators deployed.
K'Hara|Harbinger: (field equipment picks odd energy signature still present deep within the structure, it may yet have some juice)
Ryan.Bishop: Two minutes until scans of the perimeter are completed.
Ryan.Bishop: Generator three picked up on an unknown energy signature within the structure.
Ryan.Bishop: Focusing scans closer to the area.
Ryan.Bishop: Generator three and four moving in to the centre of the structure.
Ryan.Bishop: Scientist: Scans suggest the gate may still be active.
After leaving the Unknown system, myself and the team of Scientists and Lane Hackers aboard my ship decided to head for Alcatraz within the California system. The Lane Hackers had an old friend based out on Alcatraz. This old friend of theres managed to restore my ship and facilitated for us until my all the necessary repairs were completed. I spent three days on Alcatraz going over the data I recorded within that system. Only having half a clue of what it's purpose was. I began obsessing over the idea of what could be achieved by using the remnants of the technology left behind within that system. I soon received word that aerelm had finally caught up with RV-PennyBrooke. I agreed to meet them both within the Kepler system.
The Meeting #289762-2785-23875623 Wrote:RV-Pennybrooke: Someone's here...
aerelm: About the only useful thing you do, it seems. Noticing new contacts on scanners.
