With the active stage of the so-called Orange Hammer coming over, the system of Tau-44 remains under the Outcast blockade. The Colonial forces, even supported by the Guild, barely holding the line. They are almost defeated and ready to retreat while IMG keeps running to hide in the Sumatra cloud and reach Jakarta. It is closing to become an absolute defeat, and the only thing we can hope for is Outcasts won't apply scorched earth tactics to the planet Borneo as Gauls did to Leeds. After all, there is no much on the surface, so perhaps they'll limit themselves for rapid orbital bombardment. Anyway, the future will show.
Nevertheless, the Syndicate forces keep gathering on Jakarta, where we deployed our temporal headquarters. As a pleasant surprise: one damaged Deimos dreadnought with the almost minimal crew has sworn their allegiance to us after the Colonial command decided to withdraw their forces. It's a good start for gaining members, but not going to be beneficial for our business until Outcasts not pushed out. Therefore, we need to start restoring our control over the system, and the first step is restoring supply lines.
We are too weak for a confrontation right now, and the Sumatra gives us the cover we need so badly. Also, it covers the way for re-routing our supply lines, at least on a temporal basis. The old wormhole to Roussillon appears still exist and should be stable enough. As some of the older reports tell, the Gallic royalists used the Roussillon - Provence pathway before. Scouts reporting it's stable enough and according to their recon should lead to the system of Provence. So, we have two options: Roussillon and then to Bretonia, or straight to Gallia. We know that our chances for striking a good deal with the Gauls are higher than with Brets, but they remain low. Perhaps, sending an ambassador prior to this can give us better chances for success, as Gauls don't seem to be the most hospitable nation.

I sure don't like big governments sticking noses into my business. Don't trust them, never have, and I especially don't like when they spy on me and just watch as the vile Outcasts go after us. What is he doing in Tau-23? Are they after our Ore? Take over our freedom? Something doesn't smell right.
Speaking of bad smells...The Outcasts, who took so much from me...Hand in hand with the GC- bunch that fight with no honour. I was outnumbered, assumed to be swarmed like usual by them, when someone...new...came. Someone I haven't seen before. Now I don't like strangers in general. They bear the insignia of |T|, whatever that damn means, and they seem to go after the outcasts with almost the same vigour as I am.
We stood with them against The Enemy, who had more and more ships pouring in, and my ship's hull integrity didn't last long enough to thank them for at least trying.
These strangers, all things considered, actually seem all-right. Maybe one day I will actually get a chance to talk to them, without being in a heavy firefight.

The Outcast forces have left the Tau-44 after the joint Guild and Republic fleet was defeated near Borneo. Minato and Sulawesi suffered damage but nothing that could not be repaired. The Colonial forces were limited to several local garrisons with no heavy support. Meanwhile, our secondary supply routes managed to partially replace the primary Tau-23 flow: we are making supplies from Gallia through Provence, since their visa mode is withdrawn.
Sulawesi Citadel. Damage status: Medium
On a side note: Gateway, despite shown disrespect toward us, agreed to sell us one of their armoured liners. We shall find a good use for it, especially if their BMM attempt to enter our Taus and perform 'illegal' mining operations within our space. As well, great news: seems like the primary branch of the Guild managed to convince the Gauls to help them in restoring control over Dounby: the station is ours once again. We would deploy our branch to this station.

The Sycorax had just come to docks at Java Station last night when Syndicate comms alert made us aware of a vile threat. Guild mining vessels had spotted Nomad capital vessels lurking in the asteroid fields near Planet Egilsay in Orkeny. Minutes later, the heavy Sagarmatha-class battlecruiser made wake for the jump anomaly to deal with the enemy. Enroute, we received comms from a Zoner dreadnought identifying as the Flash Magnus who was already heading in to crush the enemy. The Zoners were accompanied by a Maltese Storta-class cruiser El Cid of the Hyperspace Starfleet, who although a warship of the enemy, stood with us to deal with the enemy of Mankind.
Sycorax arrived last and quickly primed all batteries to lay into the alien vessels. Flash Magnus opened a barrage of laser fire upon the first unknown, tearing through her shields in seconds, One of the enemies broke to try and split our ranks and was pursued by the Zoners while El Cid and our ship ran down the other and continued to rake her with our guns. Our Zoner friend rejoined us and our combined weaponry downed our prey in a spectacular display or expanding gas and debris. The second unkown vessel immediately engaged her cruise engines before we could come about and disrupt her engines and although all three of us followed, the unknown warship was headed for systems edge and would not be caught.
Turning our bow towards home, we gave a warning to the Outcast warship but let them off. Those men and women aboard the El Cid, though our enemies, aided us against the greatest foe of all.

Today was a profitable one for the Syndicate. Our new friends within Gallia are proving most helpful. Unione Corse l'Ane transports met our mining team afield in Tau 23 and tens of thousands of tons of Niobium ore were brought aboard Makassar Station for distribution.
With this early work done, we had time to arrange an impromptu Convoy down to a contact we have aboard Pueblo Station, Colorado. After refuelling and chatting with the locals we found out that Planet Manhattan grape growers are in dire need of getting their product offworld to wine makers and my Gallic friends were able to find us a buyer over comms on New Paris so off we went again, this time taking the Zurich corridor back to Gallia.
Our littel arrangement is certainly showing its profitability and I look forward to further work with teh Corsicans.

Busy day indeed today. It started facing a challenge that was way above my head - The Outcast presence in Tau-37 is indeed unsurmountable. All I could do is observe MNS-Allesandria and her partner dreadnought. Not much my Lhotse could do there.
Then I have seen the Carrier Hades The sniffers parade like a trophy in T-37. Dusgusting. How can The Crayterians sit idly by as their main pride is displayed like this?
Then finally I have discovered a tough but challengeable target. The Heavily armored Sorairo Chrysanthemum Aspis.
What was she hauling?
Only thanks to The Corsican that arrived later we took her down. Needless to say, I am very proud of myself!
And I could finally rest for the day happy - back to Niobium Hauling it was.

Our engineers have been busy! Seems like my Warhammer got some signifficant upgrades on Jakarta! They call it Claymore now!
We immediately tested it against some sniffers called the 101st I have no idea who they are, but they seemed to like something calles Ishmael.
Quote:[] Malachite[101st]: CIC: For Ishmael!
[] Ademar.Argueda[101st]: For Ishmael!
[] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: For Ishmael!
It was a strange battle, we almost disabled their Dreadnought, but it wasn't enough. I blame myself really - Jakarta's efforts are excellent and should be commended - but I had no practice on the vessel, and if I did just alittle bit better, we'd send the dreadnought back to well...Ishmael.

Today I was despatched from Jakarta for a Niobium run. I felt some strange tingling in my bones today, so I have used the agile Nanga Parbat transport.
Lucky I did that - it seems that Tau-23 is becoming a hotbed of criminal activity. Not just the Outcasts - it seems also some independent pirate swarms are threatening our operation - I found my ship under fire shortly after entering Tau-23!
Just when all seemed lost the freelancer Abyssal arrived to save the day in his gunboat - talk about a lucky break!
I managed to score some valuable loot from The Pirate ships, and decided to head back for repairs. Upon entering Tau-44 I thought I will get a second heart attack - out of the blue a Maquis battlecruiser came speeding past my humble trade ship. I have never met one of these people - I do hear rumors from Gallia that they are vile misguided terrorists that should be avoided at all costs. I was ready to start saying my goodbyes when the massive ship appeared to my starboard bow.
Alas, this man either isn't what I've heard, or he was off to commit some vile crimes elsewhere if The Gauls are to be believed. Kinda think of it - I can't remember the last time I heard of some random terrorists having military structures with Executive Officers and everything - I was both confused and relieved to say the least.
Code:
[] MVG-Pasquale.Paoli: ?: This is the Pasquale Paoli, latest warship in the glorious Maquis forces!
[] MVG-Pasquale.Paoli: XO: We are not after you.
[] MVG-Pasquale.Paoli: ?: Civilians from all nations are nothing but civilians, they should not be dragged into conflict!
After all this I finally made it back to Jakarta to drop off the loot I captured from The Pirates, and will request the rest of the afternoon off.
After what I have been through today, I believe I deserve it.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION COMM-ID: Tarik Torren
Today the Sycorax and Borneo were executing training exercises not far from Jakarta when we happened upon a pilot of the Royalist forces known as the La Maréchaussée de Gaule MdG/- and attempted to make an amicable exchange of greetings and information. Scouts and commercial teams have informed us that their presence has grown considerably in the neighboring Tau 115 system and it was time we made acquaintance. Within a few minutes several more pilots joined the lone flyer and the conversation got- excited for sure.
These guys seemed really paranoid and guarded when we explained our interests were solely focused on keeping the Taus free of Maltese shits and Bretonian corporate exploitationists. They reaaallly didn't like seeing Crayterian tech for some reason heh, though they have no clue that we are quite wary of the Coronado government and really only trust those Colonials that live out here on the edge. Alas, what can we do?
The Royalists reserved stating anything that would reveal their stance towards us but kept reminding us of their prior conquests and former military might in the area, a long dead fact that has nothing to do with us. They provided as much help during the Maltese Orange Hammer invasion as the other supposed "great powers" and one of their pilots even asked what Orange Hammer was???
We'll see how they treat our commercial vessels but will dispatch additional escorts and security in the meantime to guarantee safety is priority. I'm putting additional patrols around Jakarta for the time being.

[24.04.2021 18:36:11] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Torren: Well, as a overview, we are the Borneo Mining Syndicate, we mine and fight for the Taus
[24.04.2021 18:36:16] BMS|CV-Borneo: :His hatred for the outcasts and Niobium haling carreer never allowed his mind to wander to consider other avenues:
[24.04.2021 18:36:26] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Never dealing with Gallia ? how ?
[24.04.2021 18:36:55] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Our organization is fairly young having coalesced after the Orange Hammer incursion
[24.04.2021 18:37:06] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We have recent commercial interests within House Gallia
[24.04.2021 18:37:07] BMS|CV-Borneo: You speak to me? I was but a lowly hauler in far flung reacher of sirius before The Syndicate accepted me
[24.04.2021 18:37:14] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Hmmm.... What is the Orange Hammer ?
[24.04.2021 18:37:29] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy spits at the cunts that did that to his family:
[24.04.2021 18:37:33] BMS|CV-Sycorax: The Orange Hammer was when the wrteched Maltese invaded Tau 44 about 6 months ago
[24.04.2021 18:37:42] BMS|CV-Borneo: It's the Outcasts abominations attacking this system
[24.04.2021 18:37:46] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and caused much devastation and death to the Taus
[24.04.2021 18:39:08] BMS|CV-Borneo: Anyway sir - I believe I have put your contact together with this here gentleman's High command
[24.04.2021 18:39:41] BMS|CV-Borneo: Like I said, I am way over my head here, affairs of Gallia are not my forte - I believe the official channel is open
[24.04.2021 18:39:41] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Torren: It was good of you to establish contact capt. yes
[24.04.2021 18:40:12] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Monsieur, to whom do we direct official communique's too?
[24.04.2021 18:40:16] BMS|CV-Borneo: I am awaiting orders and instructions. For me personally - who stands against The Oucasts can stand by my side

[24.04.2021 18:44:54] BMS|CV-Borneo: Roy: Sadly, I don't call the shots and couldn't agree on anything , unlike Prospector General Torren here
[24.04.2021 18:45:12] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: But unfortunately the Union of Gallia preferred to betray the King.
[24.04.2021 18:45:34] BMS|CV-Sycorax: None of our concern I'm afraid. Far greater threat are the Maltese to the north
[24.04.2021 18:45:45] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: I would know i thing . What do you think about the Union ?
[24.04.2021 18:46:13] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy thinks hard to himself - besides profit and who he can haul to, nobody but the Outcasts that took so much from him
[24.04.2021 18:46:14] BMS|CV-Sycorax: The Union recently has extended commercial willingness to the Syndicate.
[24.04.2021 18:46:21] BMS|CV-Borneo: Are occupying his mind:
[24.04.2021 18:46:29] BMS|CV-Sycorax: They have aided our miners in the the Taus vs our Outcast nemesis
[24.04.2021 18:46:47] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Ah, Oui Marc, we have stumbled upon these BMS vessels, I believe you met with one the other day?
[24.04.2021 18:46:51] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Oh really ? so what they don't help you here ?
[24.04.2021 18:46:51] BMS|CV-Sycorax: For that we are grateful
[24.04.2021 18:47:05] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Angaist the Orange Hammer
[24.04.2021 18:47:11] BMS|CV-Borneo: I didn't see them helping us, no.
[24.04.2021 18:47:23] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We had no aid besides the Colonials
[24.04.2021 18:47:35] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and for that thousands were lost
[24.04.2021 18:47:45] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Not even the Bretonians so close
[24.04.2021 18:47:59] BMS|CV-Sycorax: So long as their bases were ignored, no hand was outstretched
[24.04.2021 18:48:16] BMS|CV-Borneo: The bretonians don't give a fuck, sitting in their palaces, protecting BMM
[24.04.2021 18:48:40] BMS|CV-Sycorax: As soon as our forces were dwindled from the invasion, their companies moved in, building new bases
[24.04.2021 18:48:50] BMS|CV-Sycorax: After our blood was spent driving back the Maltese
[24.04.2021 18:48:53] BMS|CV-Borneo: They want to claim the Taus, The BMM wants to claim the tays...Will they protect it against those that hurt people the most?
[24.04.2021 18:49:08] BMS|CV-Borneo: against those that enslave nations with cardamine?
[24.04.2021 18:49:09] BMS|CV-Borneo: No
[24.04.2021 18:49:21] BMS|CV-Sycorax: nah, fuck the Brets. They use us and the Colonials as meat shields
[24.04.2021 18:49:31] Death: Lumin was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[24.04.2021 18:49:38] BMS|CV-Borneo: I can't believe BMM dares to come back to claim our resources
[24.04.2021 18:49:44] BMS|CV-Sycorax: anyway, apologies gents I am a little emotional
[24.04.2021 18:49:51] Unsure about the regions listed in your ID? You can use the following command to access the full systems classification list - /helpmenu regions
[24.04.2021 18:50:05] BMS|CV-Borneo: Ah yes apologies, we have guests that might not care about any of this
[24.04.2021 18:50:15] BMS|CV-Borneo: What exactly is your opinion on The Outcasts strangers
[24.04.2021 18:50:23] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: They should have sent a Valor fleet to help you against these Outcasts, but they didn't because for them you are nothing.
[24.04.2021 18:50:53] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Someone should have but no one cares for the Taus. We are just seen as a place to take from
[24.04.2021 18:51:16] BMS|CV-Borneo: We stand alone, we need to protect ourselves...alone
[24.04.2021 18:51:35] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Which is why we've bulked up our military security so much of late
[24.04.2021 18:51:51] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and why the Syndicate was founded
[24.04.2021 18:51:59] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: I hope this isn't your definition of bulked up.
[24.04.2021 18:52:23] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy thinks at the bizzare prospect if being part of a carrier crew - but it is neccesary, even with his pathetic combat skills
[24.04.2021 18:52:33] BMS|CV-Borneo: :he...is necessary todefend his people in combat:
[24.04.2021 18:52:46] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Watch it sir. no need to insult
[24.04.2021 18:53:18] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: I am merely stating the fact that I have seen much worse on the front lines.
[24.04.2021 18:53:24] BMS|CV-Borneo: I have seen their ships...Our craft is formidable sir, but if I might say so...We are not exactly all trained soldiers
[24.04.2021 18:53:36] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Hmmm , Look like you use Crayter tech.... Why ?
[24.04.2021 18:53:49] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We have long history with the Colonials
[24.04.2021 18:53:57] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Our shiplines and their have been intertwined for years
[24.04.2021 18:54:02] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: I would know more.
[24.04.2021 18:54:20] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Engineers of the Taus have shared their tech for some time
[24.04.2021 18:54:30] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: Fair.
[24.04.2021 18:54:51] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: But you know Crayter. They have the slave of Bretonia.
[24.04.2021 18:54:59] BMS|CV-Borneo:
[24.04.2021 18:55:20] BMS|CV-Borneo: Many people know and have found out...at Aland.
[24.04.2021 18:55:24] BMS|CV-Sycorax: The government in Coronado often bends away from the betterment of the people here
[24.04.2021 18:55:47] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Only the local Colonials, the ones that have *lived* in the fringe harsh Taus know
[24.04.2021 18:55:59] Death: BRR!-RS-Banshee was put out of action by BAF|HMS-Black.Prince (Gun).
[24.04.2021 18:56:01] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and those are the ones that have helped join our ranks
[24.04.2021 18:56:05] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: They will influence you to be the submissive of Bretonia, while you want to be independent, Non mon ami ?
[24.04.2021 18:56:37] BMS|CV-Sycorax: As I've said, fuck the Brets. They have no true interest in the well being of the people in the Border Worlds
[24.04.2021 18:56:52] BMS|CV-Borneo: I come from an independent miner background...
[24.04.2021 18:56:57] BMS|CV-Borneo: They cannot be trusted
[24.04.2021 18:57:04] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Minato was still smoldering when they propped up their new installations for mining
[24.04.2021 18:57:07] BMS|CV-Borneo: Nobody will trust them since Aland I am sure of that
[24.04.2021 18:57:20] BMS|CV-Borneo: And now they want to take over Niobium? Especially BMM?
[24.04.2021 18:57:27] BMS|CV-Borneo: Fuck them
[24.04.2021 18:57:30] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Not under our watch
[24.04.2021 18:57:58] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Actions speak louder than words.
[24.04.2021 18:58:06] BMS|CV-Borneo: unfortunately
[24.04.2021 18:58:07] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Salut Lieutenants and Cavalier.
[24.04.2021 18:58:21] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Miners...
[24.04.2021 18:58:25] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Salut Lieutenant D'Aboville.
[24.04.2021 18:58:27] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Bonjour.
[24.04.2021 18:58:35] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Ahh greetings
[24.04.2021 18:58:36] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Good to see you again.
[24.04.2021 18:58:37] MdG/-Jade.Paris..: I am sure we can help you angaist these Bret .
[24.04.2021 18:58:41] BMS|CV-Borneo: You here see an ageing IMG miner, helping to operate an outdated former Crayter ship. Our main fight is with the outcasts.
[24.04.2021 18:59:08] BMS|CV-Borneo: If we could repel the BMM and their protectors, with open military operations...believe me we could. But I don't see that
[24.04.2021 18:59:10] BMS|CV-Borneo: happening
[24.04.2021 18:59:23] BMS|CV-Borneo: now with The Outcasts being as vile as they are
[24.04.2021 18:59:28] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We have no interest in the politics of the houses as they rarely show genuine concern for our people
[24.04.2021 19:00:28] BMS|CV-Borneo: Well strangers, I am curious...how do you stand towards The Outcasts and BMM?
[24.04.2021 19:00:37] BMS|CV-Borneo: Are they someone you care about?
[24.04.2021 19:00:44] BMS|CV-Borneo: Or simply a force to be ignored
[24.04.2021 19:00:51] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: I'll let Lieutenant D'Abboville answer this.
[24.04.2021 19:01:13] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Outcasts are nothing more than a nuisance that will be eventually purged.
[24.04.2021 19:01:24] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: For now our attention is focused on more important issues.
[24.04.2021 19:01:39] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy cries a little at the sever understatement of the horrors the Outcasts are capable of:
[24.04.2021 19:02:05] BMS|CV-Sycorax: your crusade is mirrored by ours against the Maltese Nation.
[24.04.2021 19:02:27] BMS|CV-Borneo: Roy: Perhaps it is in the eye of the beholder
[24.04.2021 19:02:30] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Now I understand that you wish to come to some sort of arrangement with us?
[24.04.2021 19:02:55] BMS|CV-Sycorax: As it may your position in the neighboring Tau 115 will lead to more interactions, for that we wanted to know
[24.04.2021 19:03:05] BMS|CV-Sycorax: where our relationship is perceived by your forces
[24.04.2021 19:03:19] BMS|CV-Sycorax: So that we might prepare our commercial vessels as needed
[24.04.2021 19:03:34] BMS|CV-Sycorax: And if an opportunity arose to conduct trade, we are always open to our neighbors
[24.04.2021 19:03:52] Death: greg1003 was put out of action by GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru (Gun).
[24.04.2021 19:04:24] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Perhaps if you lend your strength upon occassion to the forces guarding your region from the Maltese raiding fleets,
[24.04.2021 19:04:30] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Mmmm I see, well I will be blunt. Your usage of Crayterion vessels is concerning.
[24.04.2021 19:04:33] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and favored hand could benefit you
[24.04.2021 19:04:57] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: I have no idea where your loyaties lie and what your goals are.
[24.04.2021 19:05:10] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Oui, that is a concern.
[24.04.2021 19:05:17] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Our goals are simple
[24.04.2021 19:05:33] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Keep Maltese out of the Taus, bring business and prosperity to its people
[24.04.2021 19:05:46] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Under your rule?
[24.04.2021 19:05:47] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Keep Bretonian corporations from swallowing up and using our people
[24.04.2021 19:05:57] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy smirks at the stranger's concern. He can't forget what Crayter have done at Aland to his cormer employer, the IMG:
[24.04.2021 19:06:18] BMS|CV-Borneo: :ever since they the relationship has been anything but straightforward with The Colonials:
[24.04.2021 19:06:26] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Under our protection
[24.04.2021 19:06:55] BMS|CV-Sycorax: The Taus people have been betrayed too many times
[24.04.2021 19:07:05] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Protection from the Outcasts?
[24.04.2021 19:07:10] BMS|CV-Sycorax: correct
[24.04.2021 19:07:10] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: What do you know of betrayal?
[24.04.2021 19:07:24] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and commercial protection from exploiting corporations
[24.04.2021 19:08:07] BMS|CV-Borneo: Like the fucking BMM greedy ass... :Roy quiets down, realising his inappropriate outburst amidst his superior's speech:
[24.04.2021 19:08:09] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: What do you know of what it's like when your comrades who swore the same oath as you turn their guns on you and side wi-
[24.04.2021 19:08:33] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: th the Confederate dogs you have been fighting and then treaty with the Kusarian invaders?
[24.04.2021 19:09:07] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Mr. Toure, that is quite tragic indeed. But like I said, during the devastating invasion of Orange Hammer, no house came to def
[24.04.2021 19:09:12] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy scratches his head - pilitics and treaties being way too comples for his understanding:
[24.04.2021 19:09:16] BMS|CV-Sycorax: even those 3 great houses benefit from the Taus
[24.04.2021 19:09:19] BMS|CV-Borneo: :complex:
[24.04.2021 19:09:35] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Tell us of your relationship with the illegitimate Gallic Union goverment.
[24.04.2021 19:09:36] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: It's Lieutenant.
[24.04.2021 19:09:51] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Lieutenant Toure.
[24.04.2021 19:09:54] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Remember that.
[24.04.2021 19:10:13] BMS|CV-Borneo: ahaha wanted to say "your majesty the lt. "
[24.04.2021 19:10:23] BMS|CV-Borneo: also I am kinda drunk, sorry for misspel :d
[24.04.2021 19:10:24] BMS|CV-Sycorax: As I explained to your comrade:
[24.04.2021 19:10:39] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Tell me.
[24.04.2021 19:10:47] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Our organization has recently been invited into trade with the new gvmt of Gallia
[24.04.2021 19:10:57] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and has aided in protecting our miners vs Maltese fleets
[24.04.2021 19:11:01] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: I see.
[24.04.2021 19:11:35] BMS|CV-Sycorax: They buy our ores upon occasion and let our vesssels traverse Gallic space
[24.04.2021 19:12:02] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: I see, that is quite concerning.
[24.04.2021 19:12:11] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Oui.
[24.04.2021 19:12:15] BMS|CV-Sycorax: When our facilities came under siege by Maltese craft they defended with us
[24.04.2021 19:12:21] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: The Crown protected IMG operations for years since our conquering of the Taus.
[24.04.2021 19:12:48] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Yes I've heard of this
[24.04.2021 19:13:21] BMS|CV-Sycorax: I do hope you no longer perceive the Taus as your "conquered territories"?
[24.04.2021 19:14:04] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: IMG flourished under our protection. Without a strong hand you will fall victims to the Outcasts, as you have mentioned.
[24.04.2021 19:14:40] BMS|CV-Sycorax: huh, and I assume you believe yourselves to be the needed "strong hand"?
[24.04.2021 19:15:08] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: You already admitted you are currently operating an aging Crayterian vessel.
[24.04.2021 19:15:10] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: The Union will grow fat and lazy, they will collapse soon enough.
[24.04.2021 19:15:13] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy scuffs at the idea of someone "protecting" by ruling him. He has seen it from The Bretonians...and it only lead to the
[24.04.2021 19:15:15] BMS|CV-Borneo: Aland disaster
[24.04.2021 19:15:17] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Do you really see yourself as a strong hand?
[24.04.2021 19:15:39] BMS|CV-Sycorax: haha I asked you first
[24.04.2021 19:16:01] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: We are the Royal fleet, of course we are.
[24.04.2021 19:16:07] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: I don't recall the IMG holding off most of Sirius single handedly.
[24.04.2021 19:16:31] BMS|CV-Sycorax: All i know is its been a long time since Gallia was united under one Royal Fleet
[24.04.2021 19:16:59] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and who rules gallia is also not my care. I care how they see the Taus
[24.04.2021 19:17:34] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Those who rule Gallia will determine the safety of the Taus.
[24.04.2021 19:17:55] BMS|CV-Sycorax: So far the Union offers a willing hand to help our people. What will you do?
[24.04.2021 19:18:21] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: You have already mentioned how dangerous the Taus are now. The Union cannot fullfil its duties.
[24.04.2021 19:18:51] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Treat us with respect and amicable trade will flow. And the same will be expected from our people
[24.04.2021 19:19:01] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Now you know my position
[24.04.2021 19:19:23] BMS|CV-Borneo: Hear Hear :Roy briefly forgets about outcasts and thinks about the profits that can be had:
[24.04.2021 19:19:25] Death: C_Sphere_1_RG was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[24.04.2021 19:19:38] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Im not here to deal but rather to better understand your intentions. The Marechal will determine what deal she wishes to make.
[24.04.2021 19:20:02] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Very good. What is her name for my records?
[24.04.2021 19:20:53] BMS|CV-Borneo: :Roy chuckles as he thinks of his rather dull intentions - Money and end of Outcasts. He decides not to share his simplistic
[24.04.2021 19:21:05] BMS|CV-Borneo: thought process with the strangers or his superior:
[24.04.2021 19:21:52] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: You have already sent a communication to the Marechaussee's command. Send your deal on that same channel.
[24.04.2021 19:22:52] BMS|CV-Sycorax: There is no deal. Not yet. Deals will be offered when we know how you treat the people of the Taus. Our doors remain open
[24.04.2021 19:23:03] BMS|CV-Sycorax: and hopeful but we will see.
[24.04.2021 19:23:15] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Then what was this other fool wasting our time with yesterday?
[24.04.2021 19:23:18] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We simply wanted to know your stance on the Tau people
[24.04.2021 19:23:31] BMS|CV-Sycorax: He wishes to learn your perspectve on us
[24.04.2021 19:24:01] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Look to the past, we brought peace, security and justice to the Taus.
[24.04.2021 19:24:07] BMS|CV-Sycorax: If you are the true destined rulers of Gallia it should be easy to openly trade with your neighbors and treat them well
[24.04.2021 19:24:24] BMS|CV-Sycorax: the only thing you've mentioned of the Taus has been your "Conquest" of it
[24.04.2021 19:24:26] BMS|CV-Borneo: *Roy coughs*Well that was me - Like I never hid, all I know is far flung IMG business and my hate for the Outcasts.
[24.04.2021 19:24:34] BMS|CV-Borneo: This politics game goes way over my head
[24.04.2021 19:24:45] BMS|CV-Sycorax: But alas you are military fok so that may be expected
[24.04.2021 19:24:58] BMS|CV-Sycorax: folk*
[24.04.2021 19:25:23] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: We are also the ones who kept Java from being blasted into pieces.
[24.04.2021 19:25:29] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: Remember that.
[24.04.2021 19:25:49] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Please, when you make your report to your leader, request her to explain to us how she wants our diplomacy to be. You gentlemen
[24.04.2021 19:25:58] BMS|CV-Sycorax: seem overly suspicious and unwilling to discuss it
[24.04.2021 19:26:12] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: That should not be suprising.
[24.04.2021 19:26:46] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: The Marechal will not be sending you a communcation until you explain yourself to her.
[24.04.2021 19:26:53] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Your loyalty is in question.
[24.04.2021 19:27:04] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Very well I will personally send a comm
[24.04.2021 19:27:04] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere,: Oui.
[24.04.2021 19:27:13] BMS|CV-Borneo: Do you expect us to hold loyalty to anyone but our people?
[24.04.2021 19:27:20] BMS|CV-Borneo: Would you be any different?
[24.04.2021 19:27:28] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: And they wonder why we don't trust them.
[24.04.2021 19:27:35] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Loyalty to the Crown is a loyalty to your people.
[24.04.2021 19:27:39] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Your loyalty is to your homeland as is ours
[24.04.2021 19:28:49] BMS|CV-Sycorax: We will be in contact. Good luck gentlemen, and may prosperity find you
[24.04.2021 19:29:29] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Torren: Borneo crew, let us make wake for Jakarta. Beers are waiting for us
[24.04.2021 19:29:33] BMS|CV-Borneo: Roger, following your lead :He says, confused more than when the contact started:
[24.04.2021 19:29:40] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Good, I recommend you carefully detail out your deals with both the Crayterians and the Union.
[24.04.2021 19:29:50] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: dealings*
[24.04.2021 19:29:53] BMS|CV-Sycorax: Will do captain
[24.04.2021 19:30:16] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Very well, lets go. Au revoir.
[24.04.2021 19:30:16] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: On your wing D'Aboville.
