Opening message....

Greetings administrators and all others who this message is entitled too,

Today i witnessed yet another act of brutality from the Core. Specifically, they assaulted a Zoner Colony ship within the Freeports NFZ, with several warships deployed.
Freeport defense vessels engaged the Core ships in defense of the Colony ship, but were overwhelmed and either destroyed or fled, like myself.
We managed to gather several camera shots of the ships being engaged, and a blackbox log is attached to this message aswell.

Kind regards,

Jane Shepard

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Ms Shepard;

Diana Starr here, of the Paladin's Wake. First of all, thank you for your assistance in that fight, and for taking far better records of it than we did.

Secondly, I'd like to ask you to forward your documentation to a comm channel I just opened:

-forward here-

It's a shame we couldn't talk longer before those thugs attacked. I hope we will be able to rid our Freeports of them entirely soon, but it requires cooperation and diligent record-taking.

Topic: Core Attack against Zoners & Violations of CoF Laws at Freeport 11 in Delta

---

Today, many attacks on Zoners were commenced by the Core. In response to the attacks described above, I undocked from the Freeport to inform Core that after their attacks against Zoners they should stay away until the material is checked, the incidents are investigated and everything has calmed down.

I did it in a friendly and professional manner, in order not to give them a reason to attack again - because they do that a lot.

And they did, in the end. Of course they did.

[01.05.2016 16:09:46] Sonya.Friendly: Core, please keep your distance from the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:09:54] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: 'Scuse me?
[01.05.2016 16:10:06] Sonya.Friendly: We have credible reports that you have been engaging multiple Zoner ships today.
[01.05.2016 16:10:15] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Only ship I've engaged is that robot.
[01.05.2016 16:10:28] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Now, I'm going to load up on Nanobots and then go back to bed.
[01.05.2016 16:10:28] Sonya.Friendly: Perhaps not you, but your Core| people.
[01.05.2016 16:10:35] Sonya.Friendly: Therefore, we are doing an investigation.
[01.05.2016 16:10:42] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: As if I give half a damn what the rest of the Core does.
[01.05.2016 16:10:43] Sonya.Friendly: Please stay away from the Freeport so long.
[01.05.2016 16:10:54] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I'm here for me. Now, you're gonna' let me grab my nanobots, or there's going to be trouble.
[01.05.2016 16:11:01] Caliginous: Attwater: If you didn't then why are you with them?
[01.05.2016 16:11:08] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: They pay well.
[01.05.2016 16:11:17] Sonya.Friendly: I doubt you will get Nanobots here. There is an investigation going on against Core.
[01.05.2016 16:11:25] Sonya.Friendly: So, please move to your own base.
[01.05.2016 16:11:35] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: And the dockmaster and maintenance crews on this base know full well I don't shoot Zoners.
[01.05.2016 16:11:57] Sonya.Friendly: As much as I want to believe you, you fully well know what your group members are doing on a daily basis here
[01.05.2016 16:12:08] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I've been on vacation for three weeks.
[01.05.2016 16:12:14] Sonya.Friendly: Your base is not too far away. You will hardly lose more than a little time.
[01.05.2016 16:12:16] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I've got no idea what the rest of the Core has been doing.
[01.05.2016 16:12:27] Sonya.Friendly: I'll keep it short: harrassing and attacking Zoners daily.
[01.05.2016 16:12:28] Caliginous: Attwater: It's not like Yaren is far away, well captured by you people for the sake of resupplies.
[01.05.2016 16:12:44] Sonya.Friendly: Indeed. I am personally sorry, but you need to move to Yaren.
[01.05.2016 16:12:52] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: And if I don't?

---

Here we have it already. What is so difficult to just fly to Yaren and restock there? They shot us just 1 hour ago. And they still think, we are here to service their ships? When they meet resistance, there is always an escalation of tension coming from their sides, hinting at the bad consequences for Zoners if we do not back down and let them do what they want.

[01.05.2016 16:12:59] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Oh, hey Raven.
[01.05.2016 16:13:02] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Did you hear?
[01.05.2016 16:13:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Hello.
[01.05.2016 16:13:05] Sonya.Friendly: Then I assume there might be trouble, if you force our hand.
[01.05.2016 16:13:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: What?
[01.05.2016 16:13:11] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I ain't allowed on the Freeport any more.
[01.05.2016 16:13:15] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Oh.
[01.05.2016 16:13:18] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Something about an investigation against the Core.
[01.05.2016 16:13:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Oh.
[01.05.2016 16:13:27] Sonya.Friendly: There is an investigation against Core after multiple attacks of Core against Zoners.
[01.05.2016 16:13:34] Sonya.Friendly: And for now, it is against Core|.
[01.05.2016 16:13:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I do believe it is ... concerning that.
[01.05.2016 16:13:54] Sonya.Friendly: So, I ask you again, politely, to move to Yaren for repairs.
[01.05.2016 16:13:54] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: You and I both know I don't shoot the Zoners. It's counterproductive.
[01.05.2016 16:14:01] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Ain't that right, Raven?
[01.05.2016 16:14:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: She doesn't.
[01.05.2016 16:14:20] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Only people I shoot are Corsairs and Order, and the occasional toaster.
[01.05.2016 16:14:24] Sonya.Friendly: Not in my power to decide. I am here to inform Core vessels to stay off.
[01.05.2016 16:14:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *shudders slightly, muttering* "Damn implant. *
[01.05.2016 16:14:47] Sonya.Friendly: And right after shooting Zoners, you cannot expect us to be happy about you here.
[01.05.2016 16:14:54] Apahanta: Vertiga: We saw what happened, Zoner. I can explain, if you want.

---

Miss Rose here admits that she was involved in the incident before. This is of course an act of blatant and blunt provocation in this situation. You have the first threats there already.

[01.05.2016 16:15:06] Core|Alexandra.Rose: I saw what happened, my guns hit it.
[01.05.2016 16:15:07] Sonya.Friendly: There is an investigation. That's all.
[01.05.2016 16:15:08] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Did I shoot Zoners? I don't think so. I couldn't give less of a damn about what the rest of the Core does.
[01.05.2016 16:15:13] Sonya.Friendly: I am not here to draw conclusions.
[01.05.2016 16:15:19] Core|Alexandra.Rose: I shot it.
[01.05.2016 16:15:24] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I'll remember this.
[01.05.2016 16:15:38] Sonya.Friendly: Rember it, yes. And - as I said - it is not personal.
[01.05.2016 16:15:44] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: It is now.
[01.05.2016 16:15:55] Sonya.Friendly: It is respect. Mutual respect.
[01.05.2016 16:15:56] Caliginous: Attwater: Your fault for chasing money.
[01.05.2016 16:16:14] Valkyrja.Yrisdottir: "Are the Core causing trouble, Zoners?"
[01.05.2016 16:16:18] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: The Zoners had my respect up until this very second.
[01.05.2016 16:16:20] Sonya.Friendly: As always, yes.
[01.05.2016 16:16:38] Sonya.Friendly: The Core| has not respected Zoners for months.
[01.05.2016 16:16:43] Valkyrja.Yrisdottir: "Naturally... if you need combat assistance, I can remain on-guard."
[01.05.2016 16:16:45] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: You should show them who's the boss of that brothel.
[01.05.2016 16:16:47] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Let me spell it out for ya', moron.
[01.05.2016 16:16:53] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I. Aint. The. Core.
[01.05.2016 16:16:56] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: They just pay me.
[01.05.2016 16:16:58] Caliginous: Attwater: I'm sure it will be kept short, and if you behave you'll get to use the Freeport once more.

---

Of course at some point the threat of destruction would follow. It nearly always does. Here it comes.

[01.05.2016 16:17:15] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I'll use the Freeport when it's a smoking, smouldering wreck.
[01.05.2016 16:17:29] Caliginous: Attwater: If that's what your credits tell you.
[01.05.2016 16:17:30] Sonya.Friendly: Then, Miss Jess, I am sorry for your personally. However your words are very telling.
[01.05.2016 16:17:41] Apahanta: Vertiga: Boy, Captain Jess is really pissed right now.
[01.05.2016 16:17:57] Sonya.Friendly: You were turned away to cruise to your own base some 30 k, while no enemies are close, and you threaten the Freeport
[01.05.2016 16:17:57] Caliginous: Attwater: Isn't she always when something doesn't go her way?
[01.05.2016 16:18:04] Apahanta: Vertiga: True.

---

This is also interesting. Core claims - in their rhetoric - that they "protect" us. I severely doubt that we can call a force "protectors", that today destroyed at least 4 Zoner ships directly near or at the Freeport and violantes our laws blatantly and on purpose.

[01.05.2016 16:18:08] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We protect you, and you treat us like enemies.
[01.05.2016 16:18:11] Sonya.Friendly: This is exactly what the Core has been doing for long. And this ends.
[01.05.2016 16:18:20] Core|Alexandra.Rose: It ends?
[01.05.2016 16:18:21] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: You cannot except us to give you respect if you do not give us respect.
[01.05.2016 16:18:26] Sonya.Friendly: Your role is under discussion at the moment.
[01.05.2016 16:18:40] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: If we - all of us - are to survive, we must show mutual respect for each other.
[01.05.2016 16:18:45] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Zoners - you ask for your own kinds bloodshed, be wary of what you do.
[01.05.2016 16:18:57] Apahanta: Vertiga: Well, as far as I see it, that's not going to go well.
[01.05.2016 16:19:03] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Core protects Zoners from foul Nomad incursions. We pushed the Corsairs out of Delta for your sake. We fight to-
[01.05.2016 16:19:04] Sonya.Friendly: Credible reports state that Core| attacked multiple Zoner vessels again.
[01.05.2016 16:19:13] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Ensure the warmongering of the Order does not reach Delta.
[01.05.2016 16:19:27] Valkyrja.Yrisdottir: "It is hardly the Order who engage in 'war-mongering'."
[01.05.2016 16:19:33] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We tirelessly supply the Freeport with Iridium, as well as other goods. We are an organization that seeks to instal-
[01.05.2016 16:19:39] Valkyrja.Yrisdottir: "All those who dwell in the Omicrons know this to be true."
[01.05.2016 16:19:45] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Peace and improve the quality of life in the Edge Worlds.
[01.05.2016 16:19:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Both of their kinds are warmongering within this sector.

[01.05.2016 16:19:52] Sonya.Friendly: And credible reports state you attacked Zoner vessels not even 2 hours ago.
[01.05.2016 16:19:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: It's... somewhat... saddening. To know the real story behind all of this.
[01.05.2016 16:20:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: To know I could have done something to change this.
[01.05.2016 16:20:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I wasted opportunity - for knowledge, for self-power.
[01.05.2016 16:20:16] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Even admist these accusations, I dare you to point to a group that treats you better than we do.
[01.05.2016 16:20:17] Apahanta: Vertiga: Maybe it's not to late.
[01.05.2016 16:20:31] Sonya.Friendly: Not for me to judge. I am here to collect and to inform.
[01.05.2016 16:20:32] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: It already is.
[01.05.2016 16:20:34] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Corsairs regulate between pirating you for your goods and credits. They abuse you.
[01.05.2016 16:20:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Many people want me dead.
[01.05.2016 16:20:50] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Order has, time and time again, shown they are not to be trusted to all of Sirius. The Zoners have banned from-
[01.05.2016 16:21:04] Sonya.Friendly: It has been a long time since reports of Corsairs destroying Zoners near the Freeport were submitted.
[01.05.2016 16:21:13] Apahanta: Vertiga: I think you're a bit more helpful when alive.
[01.05.2016 16:21:19] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: And that is because we are here preventing them from doing so.
[01.05.2016 16:21:24] Sonya.Friendly: But today there were some, of repeated aggression of Core against Zoners.
[01.05.2016 16:21:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *clenches their right right, their arm shivering slightly*
[01.05.2016 16:21:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: //fist*
[01.05.2016 16:21:43] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: If you forsake our support, you will only be doingy yourselves a disservice.
[01.05.2016 16:21:58] Sonya.Friendly: I am no diplomat. I am telling you cfacts.
[01.05.2016 16:21:59] Valkyrja.Yrisdottir: "Core captain, have you heard of 'whataboutism'? That is what you are engaging in, and it is rather dishonest."

---

This likely relates to the incident in which Zoners were destroyed and which triggered the investigations, as open reports were filed and published. What Core does her is: they admit they did it.

[01.05.2016 16:22:03] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: And whilst we do try to do what's best for the Zoners, that does not mean we will be wholly oblivious to whenever a Zoner breaks the law.
[01.05.2016 16:22:14] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Neph from earlier was breaking the law.
[01.05.2016 16:22:22] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We offered the Captain a resolution.
[01.05.2016 16:22:27] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: He declined it.
[01.05.2016 16:22:22] Caliginous: Attwater: Ask yourself what you would think if your neighbour shot your Mako into bits.
[01.05.2016 16:22:44] Sonya.Friendly: This is under investigation. As long as this takes, I will turn you back from the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:22:46] Caliginous: Attwater: Whatever happened before its destruction is under investigation, hence you have to stay put and await the results.

[01.05.2016 16:22:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Time goes on, we still learn and learn. We create. All of our efforts pouring into a better future
[01.05.2016 16:23:03] Apahanta: Vertiga: We have enough footage on this, Captains. Let's Nodtviet handle the diplomatic stuff. It's easier this way.
[01.05.2016 16:23:08] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Do not take the moral high ground here.
[01.05.2016 16:23:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Our technology is based upon the foundation of ascending ourselves.
[01.05.2016 16:23:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: To assure ourselves that we won't get wiped out.
[01.05.2016 16:23:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: To let the future educate themselves on our findings.
[01.05.2016 16:23:51] Apahanta: Vertiga: I'm a fan of not getting wiped out.
[01.05.2016 16:23:53] Sonya.Friendly: This is not about moral highground. This is about setting borders and defending them if necessary.
[01.05.2016 16:24:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Now. Core? They do it for greed. Self power.
[01.05.2016 16:24:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Order? They destroy it.
[01.05.2016 16:24:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: They don't want opportunity.
[01.05.2016 16:24:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Order wants to keep Humanity under restrictions.
[01.05.2016 16:24:31] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: You lack both borders and a defense.
[01.05.2016 16:24:36] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We are your defense.
[01.05.2016 16:24:48] Sonya.Friendly: This is under investigation.
[01.05.2016 16:24:52] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Tear us down, and you only set yourselves up for another aggressor to begin abusing you.
[01.05.2016 16:25:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Have you recently saw the Coalition's News network within the Omegas?
[01.05.2016 16:25:33] Sonya.Friendly: <chuckling> So we should better stick with you?
[01.05.2016 16:25:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Ha, I am declared a 'terrorist' - killer of civilians.
[01.05.2016 16:25:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Amusing.
[01.05.2016 16:25:49] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Well, the ball is in your court.
[01.05.2016 16:25:51] Sonya.Friendly: Because you abuse us... nicer? <laughing> Oh well. Nothing else I expected
[01.05.2016 16:26:01] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: But I do not see another lawful entity out here in the Edge Worlds.
[01.05.2016 16:26:05] 2016-05-01 16:26:09 SMT Traffic control alert: Nevian has requested to dock
[01.05.2016 16:26:10] Apahanta: Vertiga: Eh, well, a friend told me about Auxesia having trouble in the Omegas.
[01.05.2016 16:26:11] 2016-05-01 16:26:14 SMT Traffic control alert: Valkyrja.Yrisdottir has requested to dock
[01.05.2016 16:26:18] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: What we do is not abuse. It is tough love.
[01.05.2016 16:26:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: They got super angry because I stole their Nomadic materials.
[01.05.2016 16:26:49] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: They had a /massive/ cache inbound for Omega-52.
[01.05.2016 16:27:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I raided it. Took all of it. It's in containment. Safe away from dangers.

[01.05.2016 16:27:05] Sonya.Friendly: <chuckles> You have a weird sense of humour and if your people were not attacking mine, I would find you amusing.
[01.05.2016 16:27:08] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: But I'm sure you'd be more than happy to have The Order staging terror attacks against your bases.
[01.05.2016 16:27:11] Core|Alexandra.Rose: Sonja, All i hear you do is winge.
[01.05.2016 16:27:29] Attention! Stand clear. Towing Nevian
[01.05.2016 16:27:41] Apahanta: Vertiga: Well, I'm sure those nomad materials are better in your hands than in the Coalition's.
[01.05.2016 16:27:48] Sonya.Friendly: But this is just my personal opinion that does not matter here.
[01.05.2016 16:27:49] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: They had Azurite.
[01.05.2016 16:28:45] Sonya.Friendly: Sonya: Azurite?
[01.05.2016 16:28:54] Sonya.Friendly: This nomad material that Core is going crazy about?
[01.05.2016 16:29:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Rightfully so. Everyone is 'crazy' for it.
[01.05.2016 16:29:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: It physically makes people go insane.
[01.05.2016 16:29:16] Apahanta: Vertiga: Right. Even those in house space.
[01.05.2016 16:29:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: If not handled correctly.
[01.05.2016 16:29:20] 2016-05-01 16:29:23 SMT Traffic control alert: Caliginous has requested to dock
[01.05.2016 16:29:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Azurite is...
[01.05.2016 16:29:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Very important.
[01.05.2016 16:29:27] Sonya.Friendly: The one who takes what he thinks can only be controlled by him alone, is crazy in self-deceit.
[01.05.2016 16:29:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: There are two types of Azurite.
[01.05.2016 16:29:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Both crystal varieties.
[01.05.2016 16:29:48] Sonya.Friendly: Core vessel, keep your distance.
[01.05.2016 16:29:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: One is seen as useless. And another is... basically what Nomads are made out of.
[01.05.2016 16:29:59] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: And their structures.
[01.05.2016 16:30:37] Sonya.Friendly: Yes. We heard that some of this Azurite appeared on black markets.
[01.05.2016 16:30:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I could perhaps teach you more about the subject of Azurite, Vertiga.
[01.05.2016 16:30:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: But in the future maybe.

The Core ships went away for a while, communication was over system messages, but then a fighting group reappeared and loitered near the Freeport, however in acceptable distance at that moment. They later moved in before their attack. Then a Core| snub blew up near a group of their warships. Cause unknown. Of course I offered help.

[01.05.2016 16:31:06] Sonya.Friendly: Damn it. An explosion. Do you have the... salvaging/rescue covered, or do you need our help, Core?
[01.05.2016 16:31:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Oh well, now that's charming.
[01.05.2016 16:31:45] Sonya.Friendly: Let's check and find the pilot. There are aliens nearby. And he was just 10k away.
[01.05.2016 16:31:51] Apahanta: Vertiga: I look forward it. That whole Azurite thing is a whole mystery. Everyone wants it, but nobody seems to know much.
[01.05.2016 16:32:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I'll spill some secrets about it.
[01.05.2016 16:32:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: But not too much.
[01.05.2016 16:32:06] Apahanta: Vertiga: And everyone tells something else.
[01.05.2016 16:32:11] Sonya.Friendly: I guess he was near the Danger ZOne.
[01.05.2016 16:32:28] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Zoner vessel, back off.
[01.05.2016 16:32:40] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: There's an investigation going on about Zoner hostility against the Core.
[01.05.2016 16:32:43] Sonya.Friendly: Did you manage to rescue the pilot whose ship exploded?
[01.05.2016 16:32:53] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Yes. That is not your concern.
[01.05.2016 16:33:10] Sonya.Friendly: It is our concern. We keep humanity up here. But yes, I am moving off again.
[01.05.2016 16:33:22] Sonya.Friendly: As you see, I was offering help.
[01.05.2016 16:33:27] Sonya.Friendly: And you were shooting Razors at me.
[01.05.2016 16:33:38] Sonya.Friendly: I saw that one

---

The Cruiser that later incapacitated my bomber tried to hit be right there. Dual Razors, but missed me as I was cruising and likely made it out of range just in time. Her claim that she was shooting at a Nomad is a straight lie. The future aggression and the way he used these razors proves malicious intent and criminal character.

[01.05.2016 16:33:38] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Shooting them at the Nomads.
[01.05.2016 16:33:47] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Maybe if you used your eyes, you'd see that.

---

Core|WV-Anassi is near the Freeport all of a sudden. I tell it to move away, in accordance with CoF Laws.

[01.05.2016 16:33:59] Sonya.Friendly: Anassi, please clear the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:34:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *chuckles*
[01.05.2016 16:34:05] Sonya.Friendly: There is an investigation going on.
[01.05.2016 16:34:10] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawke: Hm?
[01.05.2016 16:34:35] Sonya.Friendly: Investigation against Core| for multiple attacks against Zoners of Freport 11.
[01.05.2016 16:34:37] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Core's influence spans across all of Delta.
[01.05.2016 16:34:46] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: I am simply standing guard incase of a Nomad attack.
[01.05.2016 16:34:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Hum.
[01.05.2016 16:34:57] Sonya.Friendly: Until this is concluded, I must respectfully ask you to move away from our installation.
[01.05.2016 16:35:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *snaps her fingers*
[01.05.2016 16:35:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Yes? ::>
[01.05.2016 16:35:11] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Who are you again?
[01.05.2016 16:35:12] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Keep watch, incase of... you know...
[01.05.2016 16:35:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Affirmed. Will do. ::>
[01.05.2016 16:35:24] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Look at that... The toaster is back.
[01.05.2016 16:35:28] Sonya.Friendly: Me? Just a Freeport 11 pilot. Sonya, they call me "Friendly"
[01.05.2016 16:35:44] Ar.Sogan: what's happening?
[01.05.2016 16:35:48] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Well if you are not the administrator, you have no right to tell me to vacate.
[01.05.2016 16:35:57] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: You can continue your investigation.
[01.05.2016 16:36:14] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: But as of currently, I am not breaking any Freeport Laws, nor causing any infringemens upon the Zoner peoples.
[01.05.2016 16:36:14] Sonya.Friendly: I am not the administrator. But I am informing you to move off while there is an investigation against Core crimes against us
[01.05.2016 16:36:27] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: *Snore*
[01.05.2016 16:36:29] Komachi.Kurosawa: Did you say please?
[01.05.2016 16:36:34] Komachi.Kurosawa: You're not very friendly at all if you didn't say please.
[01.05.2016 16:37:00] Sonya.Friendly: <chuckles> I did not give myself that name. But yes, please, Core| vessels, vacate the area of the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:37:05] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: No.
[01.05.2016 16:37:06] Sonya.Friendly: Was that friendly?
[01.05.2016 16:37:15] Komachi.Kurosawa: Sure, but I don't think it worked.
[01.05.2016 16:37:16] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Say we don't want to leave.
[01.05.2016 16:37:24] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Say we're pretty comfortable where we are.
[01.05.2016 16:37:29] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: What are you going to do about it?

---

As the image material proves, they are all in violation of CoF laws. They know it. But they just do not care. This has been Core standard behaviour for months.

[01.05.2016 16:37:31] Sonya.Friendly: That's a pity. A report about it will be made.
[01.05.2016 16:37:41] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: A report with what evidence?
[01.05.2016 16:37:49] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: As I have said we are not breaking any Freeport laws.
[01.05.2016 16:37:52] Sonya.Friendly: And it will be added to the list of all the things the Core| does against Freeport 11 Zoners.
[01.05.2016 16:38:00] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: So now standing near you is a crime?
[01.05.2016 16:38:10] Apahanta: Vertiga: Let's not get this out of hand, Captains. Let's just let the Guildmaster handle it, right?
[01.05.2016 16:38:16] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Do we really smell that bad? Maybe you need to take a shower Rose.
[01.05.2016 16:39:29] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Nice weather we're having.
[01.05.2016 16:39:42] Sonya.Friendly: Sonya: I need to check something about the laws here.

---

Ms. Rose here is really trigger happy. She wanted to provoke a fight right there alrady, trying to make the Core aggressors attack Nevian right here already. I can confirm that the Cruiser was shooting at Nomads, who the Core were ignoring to make a point by proving that we need them to defend the Freeport. While buzzing around in out No Fire Zone in violation of CoF laws, some shots might have gone close. However - as per our Zoner Codex - there was of course no intention to attack.

[01.05.2016 16:39:45] Core|Alexandra.Rose: That zoner shot one of our boys!
[01.05.2016 16:39:49] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Nevian, fire on that Core pilot again and you die.
[01.05.2016 16:39:50] Sonya.Friendly: I'll be here in a moment.
[01.05.2016 16:39:52] Core|Alexandra.Rose: Did you see that Annasi?
[01.05.2016 16:40:08] Ar.Sogan: so?
[01.05.2016 16:40:08] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Mhm.
[01.05.2016 16:40:24] Sonya.Friendly: I doubt you should be threatening Zoners here, not even 1k away from our base.
[01.05.2016 16:40:26] Nevian: That would be one of your "boys" who go in the way of that nomad wave?
[01.05.2016 16:40:41] Core|Alexandra.Rose: I dont think so.
[01.05.2016 16:40:51] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: You have no right to attack our pilots who are simply minding their business.
[01.05.2016 16:41:02] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: No matterwhere they are in the Edge Worlds.

---

After rechecking, I tell the Core that their warships are not allowed, except if we ask them for assistance. Especially after Core ships attacked and destroyed numerous Zoners directly near the Freeport, I set out to enforce this, or at least tell them about it.

[01.05.2016 16:41:06] Sonya.Friendly: Core warships, I am here to inform you that by COF laws you are not permitted to be that close to the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:41:15] Komachi.Kurosawa: Ooooooooo
[01.05.2016 16:41:23] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Please stop speaking. Nobody is listening to you at this point.
[01.05.2016 16:41:28] Sonya.Friendly: You are only allowed to be her when asked to assist the COF Zoner vessels against enemies.
[01.05.2016 16:41:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Hm? Is someone still rambling?
[01.05.2016 16:41:37] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: The Freeport administrator has allowed Capital vessels to be within the vicinity of the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:41:49] Sonya.Friendly: As we have a formal investigation against you, you are not welcome here. Please vacate the no fire zone.
[01.05.2016 16:41:50] Apahanta: Vertiga: Eh, did he?
[01.05.2016 16:41:55] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: No.
[01.05.2016 16:41:55] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Admittedly, he allowed all types of Capital vessels... but still.
[01.05.2016 16:42:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Yes, capital vessels are permitted near Freeport-11.
[01.05.2016 16:42:18] Sonya.Friendly: Negative. I just checked on the COF laws on Freeports.
[01.05.2016 16:42:23] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: It is so that we can better defend the Freeport against hostile incursions.
[01.05.2016 16:42:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: It was mentioned elsewhere within a comm.
[01.05.2016 16:42:38] Sonya.Friendly: Therefore, I have to ask you again to vacate the direct vicinity of the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:42:41] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: You can continue crying us a river. We don't really care what you think, Ms. Friendly.
[01.05.2016 16:42:45] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Piss off.
[01.05.2016 16:42:53] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: It's nothing personal. You just aren't important enough.
[01.05.2016 16:43:00] Komachi.Kurosawa: That's cold.
[01.05.2016 16:43:06] Komachi.Kurosawa: Cold like steel.
[01.05.2016 16:43:09] Sonya.Friendly: <chuckles> Continue.
[01.05.2016 16:43:23] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: [chuckles] [giggles] [snorts]
[01.05.2016 16:43:25] Sonya.Friendly: I am here to inform.
[01.05.2016 16:43:35] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I'm here to kill things and chew bubble gum.
[01.05.2016 16:43:41] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: And I'm all outta' gum.
[01.05.2016 16:43:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Replace the g with b.
[01.05.2016 16:43:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: That's more accurate for you, Jess.
[01.05.2016 16:43:59] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Oh look! A Nomad!
[01.05.2016 16:44:00] Sonya.Friendly: I can hardly force you. But I can tell you that you are not welcome and in violation of the law.
[01.05.2016 16:44:01] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: It's true.
[01.05.2016 16:44:13] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Maybe we should leave guys, Friendly is telling us not to be here.
[01.05.2016 16:44:19] Core|Alexandra.Rose: You aint movin us Sonja.
[01.05.2016 16:44:23] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Seems the Freeport will be at the mercy of that Nomad.
[01.05.2016 16:44:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: A young one...
[01.05.2016 16:44:44] Sonya.Friendly: If we need your help, Core|, I would call.
[01.05.2016 16:44:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *flickers in attitude* It should be exterminated. Destroyed. Harvested. Exploited.
[01.05.2016 16:44:55] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We can't provide help I'm afraid.
[01.05.2016 16:44:59] Sonya.Friendly: But we both know that this won't happen today, after you attacked our friends.
[01.05.2016 16:45:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *shakes head* Woah. That... wasn't normal.
[01.05.2016 16:45:03] Komachi.Kurosawa: [flickers audibly]
[01.05.2016 16:45:04] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: There's a Zoner investigation underway.
[01.05.2016 16:45:11] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Bzzt.
[01.05.2016 16:45:32] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Alright, Sonya, here's the deal.
[01.05.2016 16:45:42] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: That Freeport is where I get my smokes delivered.
[01.05.2016 16:45:45] Sonya.Friendly: You Core commander do not even realize that what you are doing just at the moment is the cause of the problems.

---

The rest is about some cargo that was in Cargo bay 3. Some cigarettes. After Ms. Jess put up such an attitude, I decided to treat the cargo as confiscated and as a gift to our people - call it compensation or whatever. I guess that made her angry.

They first attacked Nevian, backed off when we told them, and then they destroyed my ship directly at the Freeport. Ms. Jess managed in her 2nd attempt with her razors, after trying before.

The Core then commenced attacks on two more Zoner vessels at Freeport 11, destroying one. One docked. The Core lost a snub when we fought back.

[01.05.2016 16:45:57] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: There's a pallet of custom-rolled Luckies sitting in cargo bay 3.
[01.05.2016 16:46:01] Komachi.Kurosawa: Are they Midori Tabako?
[01.05.2016 16:46:03] Komachi.Kurosawa: Oh, I guess not.
[01.05.2016 16:46:08] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: If I don't have them in... 10 minutes, things start to die.
[01.05.2016 16:46:11] Sonya.Friendly: That's sad for you. Perhaps I can bring you a few.
[01.05.2016 16:46:24] Apahanta: Vertiga: *cough*
[01.05.2016 16:46:27] Sonya.Friendly: But you cannot be near the Freeport in this ship and you cannot dock it here.
[01.05.2016 16:46:33] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: What I am doing at the moment? Please, elaborate if you will.
[01.05.2016 16:46:40] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: I can't be near it? Are you going to stop me?
[01.05.2016 16:46:46] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: It's harder for me to understand because there's a Zoner investigation underway.
[01.05.2016 16:46:54] Apahanta: Vertiga: Pilot Sogan, I think there's something you may take a look at. Over there. About ten kilometers.
[01.05.2016 16:47:13] Ar.Sogan: The nomad?
[01.05.2016 16:47:14] Sonya.Friendly: You cannot be near it. You are violating Zoner Laws and you were told and you just do not care.
[01.05.2016 16:47:29] Apahanta: Vertiga: Right.
[01.05.2016 16:47:32] Ar.Sogan: ah
[01.05.2016 16:47:34] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: That is because we are not breaking any laws.
[01.05.2016 16:47:36] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: What, is the golden hand of god going to descend from the heavens and smite me for sitting here?
[01.05.2016 16:47:43] Sonya.Friendly: Hangar bay 3 you said. Alright.
[01.05.2016 16:47:52] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Cargo.
[01.05.2016 16:48:04] Sonya.Friendly: This is Sonya to Freeport 11, Hangar 3. There are some smokes there. Send them to the bar. Free for all. Courtesy of the Core.

[01.05.2016 16:48:13] Sonya.Friendly: It's their way to say sorry for the damage they have done.
[01.05.2016 16:48:14] Komachi.Kurosawa: CARGO bay 3!
[01.05.2016 16:48:17] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Target is locked in. Preparing to engage Nevian.
[01.05.2016 16:48:18] Komachi.Kurosawa: Geez Louise.
[01.05.2016 16:48:27] Nevian: Why?
[01.05.2016 16:48:29] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: assisting.
[01.05.2016 16:48:37] Sonya.Friendly: Oh. Correction: Cargo Bay 3. Rest of the request stands.
[01.05.2016 16:48:41] Caliginous: Great.
[01.05.2016 16:48:43] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We'll teach you not to shoot at our guys!
[01.05.2016 16:48:46] Nevian: Why this unprovoked attack?
[01.05.2016 16:48:51] Sonya.Friendly: Cease fire!

---

You see here, they really wanted to kill us. They were looking for ways to finally open fire. A routine patrol Manta was grazed by fire, not even destroyed, and they jumped at us like mad. They damaged the Nevian slightly, them stood down again when it was clear that there were witnesses.

[01.05.2016 16:48:56] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Give me my smokes!
[01.05.2016 16:49:02] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Or everything dies!
[01.05.2016 16:49:02] Komachi.Kurosawa: It's kicking off!

[01.05.2016 16:49:06] Sonya.Friendly: You attacked another Zoner right at the Freeport.
[01.05.2016 16:49:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *folds her arms, observing the scenario*
[01.05.2016 16:49:11] Core|Alexandra.Rose: Get him!
[01.05.2016 16:49:16] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: or perhaps, better yet we should just merely fine the Nevian.

---

Again trying to find a way to make us make a mistake. Applying their Core "laws" directly here and in this situation.

[01.05.2016 16:49:29] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Hmnph.
[01.05.2016 16:49:30] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Would you prefer that, Captain?
[01.05.2016 16:49:35] Sonya.Friendly: You are to remove yourself from the no fire zone, Core vessels.
[01.05.2016 16:49:40] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Make me, bitch.
[01.05.2016 16:49:47] Nevian: For a slight graze to one of your Mantas who got in the way of a Nomad wave? Not even destroyed?
[01.05.2016 16:49:59] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Tell you what then Nevian.
[01.05.2016 16:50:06] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Since you are utterly incapable of aiming your guns properly.
[01.05.2016 16:50:12] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We will shoot the Nomads for you.
[01.05.2016 16:50:18] Sonya.Friendly: You Core| have serious issues. You attacked a Zoner right now? At this moment?

[01.05.2016 16:50:28] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: You're /stealing my cigarettes./
[01.05.2016 16:50:31] Komachi.Kurosawa: Why are you saying Core-upscore and not just Core?
[01.05.2016 16:50:41] Komachi.Kurosawa: Is that some kind of secret Zoner code?
[01.05.2016 16:50:50] Komachi.Kurosawa: Zoners are weird AF, yo.
[01.05.2016 16:50:59] Komachi.Kurosawa: With a capital everything.
[01.05.2016 16:51:05] Sonya.Friendly: Some diplomatic stuff that separates things, no code.

[01.05.2016 16:51:36] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Piss off, Nomad. I'm having some problems.

After this rather scary incident with 3 warships firing at the Zoner, damaging it, we expected everything and Core snapped and they attacked fully, not leaving us any chances.

[01.05.2016 16:51:44] Sonya.Friendly: So, I ask the Core vessels that are violating the law and also fired on a Zoner vessel directly at the Freeport to leave NFZ
[01.05.2016 16:51:45] Komachi.Kurosawa: Big troublems.
[01.05.2016 16:51:53] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: And the head of this problem is this stupid, armorless Roc over here.
[01.05.2016 16:52:25] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: We did not instigate the confrontations.
[01.05.2016 16:52:33] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: Merely, the Zoner shot one of our own.
[01.05.2016 16:52:34] Sonya.Friendly: You did. I have pictures of you opening fire.

---

The showdown occurred when Danger Zone finally went berzerk and razored my Roc bomber. In the ensuing fight, a Core snub and a Zoner ship were destroyed, one Zoner managed to take refuge on the station.

[01.05.2016 16:52:45] Sonya.Friendly: It is blatantly obvious.
[01.05.2016 16:52:50] Core|WV-Anassi: Hawken: And just as you complain about us shooting one of ours, so do we when the same happens to us.
[01.05.2016 16:52:52] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Wanna' see a picture of something else cool?
[01.05.2016 16:52:55] Komachi.Kurosawa: I have pictures of- well, I have a lot of pictures.

[01.05.2016 16:52:57] Death: Sonya.Friendly was put out of action by Core|WV-Danger.Zone (Gun).
[01.05.2016 16:53:03] Core|WV-Danger.Zone: Jess: Suck me.

[01.05.2016 16:53:49] Death: Core|Alexandra.Rose was put out of action by Caliginous (Gun).
[01.05.2016 16:54:25] 2016-05-01 16:54:28 SMT Traffic control alert: Nevian has requested to dock
[01.05.2016 16:55:56] Death: Caliginous was put out of action by Core|Rosalina.Romanov (Gun).

To sum it up: The Core ignore our laws, they ignore when they are told about in a friendly way, they look for reasons to attack us. They tried to assassinate me when I wanted to help rescue a downed Core pilot, later on showed taht when they find any reason to attack us, they hit mercilessly - and every Zoner that is close.

Their leadership talk may sound friendly or neutral, their actions are almost always hostile. And they have reached a point where not even attacks directly next to our station are off.

We went into the wilderness of the Omicrons in order not to be forced to live under the laws of oppressors. For me, it feels as if Core are the worst of the oppressors we have ever encountered. Not police force has ever done what Core has been doing every day, for weeks and months now.

Something needs to be done. I implore the CoF to take action!
If this means standing up for our freedom, so be it!

Opening message....

Greetings administrators and all others who this message is entitled too,

Just now the Core launched a blatant offensive upon Freeport 11, taking out several Freeport Defense Vessels, and firing upon the Freeport itself.
This kind of barbarism cannot go unanswered anymore. I plead you, administrators, please stop allowing them Docking Rights. They oppose everything we stand for, and shoot at Freeport 11, one of the captains proclaiming it was for a box of cigarettes! Auxesian vessels backed up the Core ships in this regard, its worth noting. My own ship was shot down by pilot Miri Keating of the battlegroup.

Kind regards,

Jane Shepard

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

It is proven. Core ships, after defeating an Order battlegroup, went to the Freeport and attacked it with Mako warships, shelling it after destroying everything that was near it. I'll let pictures speak.
