Halpert's report of the Baffin system has left me quite curious. Decided to check it out for myself and look around for a suitable position whilst Halpert communicates with the local zoners. All of a sudden an alien decides to intercept and... have a chat with me. They seem to know about us already and have said that they wish to protect us from whatever is happening in Kepler. Something to do with those spikey things located 20ks away from home. This alien, Eris they call themselves, started powering up something, and soon I realised it was a rift-generator of sorts. To convince me that they weren't hostile outside of Baffin, they pulled me into their jump and landed me in an unknown sector... their home. They tell me I'm a guest, but I know nothing about them. I jumped home shortly after... what a day.

Two systems strike me as good spots to relocate our base. Reading through the Map-Data reports lead me to scout out Tau-37 once again. Calming system, nearby freeport with all necessities, only two ways out of the system. Then a Starfleet capital ship appeared, a good chance to tell them of what the Starfliers are doing in Tau-37...

[14.02.2022 00:07:41] HS>Reconquista: Yes, I visited it myself a few months ago.
[14.02.2022 00:08:00] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: We've spent months in that hell of a storm. A few of us getting irradiated living there.
[14.02.2022 00:08:28] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: My job out here is to find a suitable spot to relocate our base of operations.
[14.02.2022 00:08:49] HS>Reconquista: Interesting
[14.02.2022 00:09:00] HS>Reconquista: And you're thinking of Tau-37?
[14.02.2022 00:09:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've found two suitable systems. Tau-37 is one of them.
[14.02.2022 00:10:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've seen the comms about not entering the northern jump hole, be assured that will continue to be respected.
[14.02.2022 00:10:31] HS>Reconquista: Good. What sort of visitors do you expect at your base?
[14.02.2022 00:10:43] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Though, since you're here. It's a chance to get your... opinion on the matter.
[14.02.2022 00:10:51] HS>Reconquista: We would look dimly upon it becoming a staging ground for bounty hunters and their ilk
[14.02.2022 00:11:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hmm, I'll relay all conditions to Leon, for now we'll get everything out.
[14.02.2022 00:12:05] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So, restricted docking access for certain groups?
[14.02.2022 00:12:55] HS>Reconquista: We cannot come to a formal agreement here, but I believe we can come to an understanding. To be formalized if you do intend
[14.02.2022 00:12:58] HS>Reconquista: to relocate here
[14.02.2022 00:13:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: From our side, all we want is to get out of the storm. How do you propose we proceed?
[14.02.2022 00:13:49] HS>Reconquista: We would request docking rights for our personel, to facilitate inspections, and a restriction on some commodities. Such as
[14.02.2022 00:13:54] HS>Reconquista: that ageria trash.
[14.02.2022 00:14:26] HS>Reconquista: But no monetary "tax" like the house governments would impose.
[14.02.2022 00:14:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I don't need Leon to agree to that. We don't sell any material goods anyways.
[14.02.2022 00:15:32] HS>Reconquista: That simplifies mattters.
[14.02.2022 00:16:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Any other main conditions? What you have mentioned so far is very easy to work with.
[14.02.2022 00:16:31] HS>Reconquista: Those are the major points.
[14.02.2022 00:16:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I will say, certain wings of our base will be unavailable during these inspections.
[14.02.2022 00:17:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Proprietary hardware, information and the like.
[14.02.2022 00:17:21] HS>Reconquista: That is acceptable
[14.02.2022 00:18:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I may have Leon contact Starfleet for additional discussions.
[14.02.2022 00:18:54] HS>Reconquista: We will watch for the message.
[14.02.2022 00:18:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: But, good to see this isn't shot down. Peaceful system for a peaceful group.
[14.02.2022 00:19:50] HS>Reconquista: It's peaceful now. I'd reccomend staying clear of the Lorraine jump hole. The Gauls have been quiet lately, but they may not
[14.02.2022 00:19:52] HS>Reconquista: stay that way
[14.02.2022 00:20:18] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'll make a record of that. Thank you.
[14.02.2022 00:21:32] HS>Reconquista: Is that all you need?
[14.02.2022 00:21:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'll forward this to our base, and expect a message soon.
[14.02.2022 00:22:03] HS>Reconquista: Very well. Fly safe
[14.02.2022 00:22:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Mmmhmm. Godspeed, Montalban.
Took the '\S/'Novae to Picardy to sell Ice, got lost. Ship is returned to Cortez and reloaded with Pristine Ice.
Total takings at the end of the day: 31 million.
Umm... My name is Muliah Taana.
I am new to the Starfliers and this is my first flight as a member. I was told to collect a Starflier transport from the Cortez system and deliver its cargo.
Thankfully, this is a line of work that I am familiar with. The cargo was Pristine Ice, something I have never heard of before. I wasn't told where to sell the cargo, so I checked the neural net. The only place name I recognised with an open contract for the cargo was Sigma-13's Newport Station.
However, the Neural Net listed Planet Amiens in Picardy and Planet Nauru in Omicron Delta as offering better prices.
I know that the Starfliers are about finding new things, so I decided to take a risk and try going to one of those... Plus I was warned to avoid the Sigmas.
I looked in the Novae's navigation computer and saw that Picardy was in there. Someone has previously flown the ship out that way, but I couldn't find any of the Omicrons on the computer. Since I don't even have a lead on how to get there, I figure I'm going to Picardy.
When I get back to the base in Kepler, I'll study some of their star maps and see what I can learn.
Unfortunately, it seems I made an oversight. I have never been to Gallia before and didn't know what to bring back as my return cargo. Thankfully, a kind trader from GMS was around to give me some advice and directions.
While I carefully monitored the H-fuel reserves, flying empty is a huge fuel saving, I managed to take a look at Orleanais and add it to the Nav-Computer of the Novae. Though I couldn't explore the whole system, transports aren't that efficient, I did manage to get all the trade lanes.
I later found H-Fuel was avaliable on Planet New Paris (which is now in the Novae's Nav-Computer) but it's at an absolute premium out here. The "good cargo" for New Berlin that the GMS trader mentioned was "Tawny Port". I ended up carrying the Military Salvage he suggested though, especially after I saw it wasn't guns, but rather old circuit boards and damaged hull panels.
The rest of the trip went smoothly and I returned the transport to Cortez without incident.

As some of you know, Starflier Base has been busy creating what Albert calls "Starflier Network Beacons." These items will help us create a rift network within Sirius, for the NX-01 and other ships to use. The idea behind this is to make a profit creating and selling them, but to also have a system that the Starfliers have created be set up within Sirius. This is a high profile project, more of these SNBs we sell, the better the network becomes!
In other news: We have a few Albatross-Class transports sitting in the docking bay. After reviewing our assets and thinking about what this group is about, I have decided to abandon these ships. The technicians will turn them into spare parts for our own ships. I know for a fact that Rex will not be happy, however there are other ventures we can all pursue to learn more about the place we live in
Our time and money will be directed towards these new Corvo-Class ships and to supply new pilots with personalised leased light fighters.
The Order... I don't know too much about them. They're very much against the Nomads, wanting to eradicate them. Knowing as much as I do about them, they can do all they wish against the newer breeds. The ones before, the variant I'm familiar with, I'll keep my relationship with them quiet. Don't want to attract any unwanted attention. After this conversation with an Order pilot, I may need to get permission to fly around in their space. The Omicron system I found myself in looks to be quite established. In any case, further contact is needed.

[07.04.2022 00:04:57] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Greetings
[07.04.2022 00:05:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hmm... What is the Order? First I've seen one of you.
[07.04.2022 00:06:06] Order|Abithar.Goldman: You haven't? that is suprising
[07.04.2022 00:06:16] Order|Abithar.Goldman: We keep humanity safe from nomads
[07.04.2022 00:06:29] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The aliens? Good goal.
[07.04.2022 00:06:39] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed very good goal
[07.04.2022 00:06:56] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I imagine the Houses would be on board with that too, keeping everyone safe.
[07.04.2022 00:07:24] Order|Abithar.Goldman: I sure hope so
[07.04.2022 00:07:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Should probably introduce myself I guess.
[07.04.2022 00:08:15] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Halpert Kennedy of the Starfliers.
[07.04.2022 00:08:28] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Greetings Halpert i am Lt Goldman
[07.04.2022 00:08:38] Order|Abithar.Goldman: I have heard of your group
[07.04.2022 00:08:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Word gets around it seems.
[07.04.2022 00:09:00] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed
[07.04.2022 00:09:15] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Does that mean you understand the kind of job I do?
[07.04.2022 00:09:46] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Somewhat I would like some elaboration
[07.04.2022 00:10:10] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I fly around and ping all locations within a system. Cartography.
[07.04.2022 00:10:33] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Ah yes is that what bring you here?
[07.04.2022 00:10:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You can say that. Building up our cartography database.
[07.04.2022 00:11:09] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Interesting
[07.04.2022 00:11:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I also sell these reports I make from these trips. In case one is interested in knowing hidden stuff.
[07.04.2022 00:12:22] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Not to anyone.........unfriendly i hope?
[07.04.2022 00:12:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The Starfliers do work for anyone. We're impartial.
[07.04.2022 00:13:07] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Obviously, the purple guys are off the table.
[07.04.2022 00:13:33] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Clearly they might not take kindly to any human interaction
[07.04.2022 00:14:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: That's why I fly this quick ship. A good getaway if things get hot.
[07.04.2022 00:14:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Figured you'd be anxious or firm about me being here, after that explanation.
[07.04.2022 00:14:58] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Makes sense wouldn't want to get blasted especially since you have no weaponry to speak of
[07.04.2022 00:15:32] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Our leader wants us to keep the threat level as low as possible, so no weapons.
[07.04.2022 00:16:28] Order|Abithar.Goldman: interesting idea since there are many unfriendly groups especially in the omicrons
[07.04.2022 00:17:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've noticed. Core, the Maltese, Corsairs... a growing list.
[07.04.2022 00:18:25] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed they aren't particulary friendly with anyone they don't consider allies and even then that is risky at best
[07.04.2022 00:18:51] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: If it's a risk to become anywhere close to neutral, that's one I'm willing to take.
[07.04.2022 00:19:40] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Very noble of you sir
[07.04.2022 00:20:07] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: This system seems quite populated for an Omicron sector of space... where am I?
[07.04.2022 00:20:46] Order|Abithar.Goldman: This is Omicron Mu, we have a strong presence here
[07.04.2022 00:21:08] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Strong? Is this a core Order system?
[07.04.2022 00:22:02] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed
[07.04.2022 00:22:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Just came from Minor... sorry for your organisation's loss.
[07.04.2022 00:22:54] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Thank you sir it did hurt but we have pressed on and gotten stronger
[07.04.2022 00:23:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So... is there a problem with my being in a core Order system?
[07.04.2022 00:24:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I ask this because the Maltese told us to piss off from a couple of their sectors. Might be antsy about pilots show
[07.04.2022 00:24:20] '\S/'Pulsar: showing up
[07.04.2022 00:27:02] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Apologises sir my systems seemed to have momentarily malfunctioned
[07.04.2022 00:27:30] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: It happens, these light fighters are not 100% at times too.
[07.04.2022 00:27:44] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed
[07.04.2022 00:28:18] Order|Abithar.Goldman: So you were asking about your presence here?
[07.04.2022 00:28:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Yeah, if I have the green light to fly in Order space, I guess.
[07.04.2022 00:30:16] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Wait one getting in touch with my superiors
[07.04.2022 00:30:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: If I'm not allowed, I'll leave. We operate under a permission-style thing.
[07.04.2022 00:33:00] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Don't want Battleship cannons pointed at me.
[07.04.2022 00:35:08] Order|Abithar.Goldman: *slaps comm unit* Cmon you piece of junk
[07.04.2022 00:36:20] Order|Abithar.Goldman: *comm unit starts working properly* there we go geez the nomads i recently fought messed my ship up more than i thought
[07.04.2022 00:37:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Yeah, that'll do it.
[07.04.2022 00:38:05] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed it would
[07.04.2022 00:38:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: If my link back to home base is lost I'm screwed.
[07.04.2022 00:38:41] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed
[07.04.2022 00:38:46] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: This Hacker hardware has paid off so far though.
[07.04.2022 00:39:11] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Say what you will about Hackers they do have some good tech
[07.04.2022 00:39:47] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Does the Order look down on them?
[07.04.2022 00:41:06] Order|Abithar.Goldman: No actually we are on good terms with them
[07.04.2022 00:41:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Having friends is nice. We got the Orbital guys to lean on for a bit of support.
[07.04.2022 00:42:01] Order|Abithar.Goldman: That's always a good think
[07.04.2022 00:42:16] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Thing is what i meant to say
[07.04.2022 00:42:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I guess I'll hear about this request over the secure channel? I might go and take a nap on the Starbase.
[07.04.2022 00:43:47] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Reques.....oh well command finally got back with me and have asked me to escort you out of the system
[07.04.2022 00:44:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Why does that not surprise me. Alright, which way are we going?
[07.04.2022 00:44:41] Order|Abithar.Goldman: I deeply apoligize for this you seem like a nice guy
[07.04.2022 00:44:58] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Guess i'll take you back to Minor
[07.04.2022 00:45:07] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: High Command is probably protective of their space.
[07.04.2022 00:45:13] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed they are
[07.04.2022 00:45:28] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'm not really wanting to return to a graveyard, is there a different exit?
[07.04.2022 00:45:51] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Guess we can go to Omicron Zeta
[07.04.2022 00:46:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Zeta connects to here? Good. I'm okay with that.
[07.04.2022 00:46:24] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Indeed it does if you will follow me
[07.04.2022 00:46:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Uh-huh.
[07.04.2022 00:47:10] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Cruise engines are not igniting, one moment...
[07.04.2022 00:47:30] Order|Abithar.Goldman: No worries
[07.04.2022 00:48:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Here we go...
[07.04.2022 00:48:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Might send a message out. See if I can get the green light.
[07.04.2022 00:48:50] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Good idea
[07.04.2022 00:49:16] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Watch out for the mines
[07.04.2022 00:49:27] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Yep.
[07.04.2022 00:49:38] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Sorry about that forgot those were there
[07.04.2022 00:49:45] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I can find my own way out from here. Thanks.
[07.04.2022 00:49:53] Order|Abithar.Goldman: Yes sir safe flyinh
[07.04.2022 00:50:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Godspeed.
THe meeting with Revenant went ahead above Planet Quillan in Languedoc. We discussed how we could help eachother with our respective problems and projects. It seems we have made some headway. Two Freelancers showed up who seem to know Revenant. I didn't catch much of their conversation as I made myself a coffee, however Revenant left in a hurry after their chat. With nothing much else to do, I decided to fly with the other pilots through Gallia. Quite a nice journey through the Omegas, Bretonia, Taus and now into Gallia.

[13.04.2022 04:21:37] A/)-Revenant: Starflier. [nods]
[13.04.2022 04:21:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: Hey, it's one of those guys! Hello!
[13.04.2022 04:22:00] A/)-Revenant: ...yes, one of "those guys. "
[13.04.2022 04:22:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Rex, move aside please. This is important.
[13.04.2022 04:22:21] A/)-Revenant: What a curious little man.
[13.04.2022 04:23:00] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Excuse him. Good day, Revenant.
[13.04.2022 04:23:12] A/)-Revenant: Salutations, Albert - was it?
[13.04.2022 04:23:20] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Correct.
[13.04.2022 04:23:25] A/)-Revenant: // sec, need loo now lol
[13.04.2022 04:25:14] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This is not what I had in mind when you said to meet on Technocracy grounds. But it will do.
[13.04.2022 04:31:34] A/)-Revenant: Problems arose.
[13.04.2022 04:31:44] A/)-Revenant: I would not expect you to be particularly content with being stalked.
[13.04.2022 04:32:13] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Pirates, mostly. After this data I'm carrying. I know the feeling.
[13.04.2022 04:32:30] A/)-Revenant: Oh, there are far more sinister elements, such as the Order.
[13.04.2022 04:32:48] A/)-Revenant: But nevertheless, we did not come here to gossip.
[13.04.2022 04:32:54] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We did not.
[13.04.2022 04:33:15] A/)-Revenant: Now ... Remind me what you wish to speak of?
[13.04.2022 04:33:22] A/)-Revenant: Forgive me. I'm old.
[13.04.2022 04:33:51] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have a project in the works of artificially creating a rift in space.
[13.04.2022 04:34:05] A/)-Revenant: Ah. What of it? You require our assistance?
[13.04.2022 04:34:18] A/)-Revenant: Oh, yes, infact - we are looking into similar things.
[13.04.2022 04:34:41] A/)-Revenant: [They seemed to be a little overburdened with thought, almost struggling to find words. ]
[13.04.2022 04:34:52] A/)-Revenant: We were looking to create gateways.
[13.04.2022 04:35:02] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We have run simulations, resulting in success, though the creation of the parts needed is outside what we can-
[13.04.2022 04:35:08] A/)-Revenant: Initially, it was to connect two homes, but now?
[13.04.2022 04:35:09] '\S/'Arcturus: -accomplish.
[13.04.2022 04:35:12] A/)-Revenant: Now it is to evacuate, if necessary.
[13.04.2022 04:35:35] A/)-Revenant: We have had some previous knowledge regarding generator devices, somewhat akin to singularity in nature.
[13.04.2022 04:35:54] A/)-Revenant: The issue is that these like to follow a 'stream' - there is background energy all around us.
[13.04.2022 04:36:01] A/)-Revenant: We cannot perceive it, and normally, we cannot interact with it.
[13.04.2022 04:36:14] A/)-Revenant: The exit cannot be controlled. Not always.
[13.04.2022 04:36:38] A/)-Revenant: Bridging these "tunnels" can be particularly difficult, particularly if there is hypercharged dark matter, such as
[13.04.2022 04:36:41] A/)-Revenant: yours truly in Kepler.
[13.04.2022 04:37:22] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Kepler will not be the entry or exitway of this rift, rather we are thinking of Galileo.
[13.04.2022 04:37:29] A/)-Revenant: Terrible idea. Don't do that.
[13.04.2022 04:37:35] A/)-Revenant: I shouldn't be telling you this but...
[13.04.2022 04:37:43] A/)-Revenant: Galileo and Kepler will not be safe. And keep this to yourself.
[13.04.2022 04:37:51] A/)-Revenant: Else we will get /many/ hostiles in the region if you slip words.
[13.04.2022 04:38:14] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Suggestions, then?
[13.04.2022 04:38:35] A/)-Revenant: Move out from those regions. They are red zones.
[13.04.2022 04:38:53] A/)-Revenant: Our cell based in Kepler is also prepping for evacuation too.
[13.04.2022 04:39:05] A/)-Revenant: You may have luck in the Omega region, perhaps.
[13.04.2022 04:39:19] A/)-Revenant: Yet, I do not know of your relations pertaining to the Corsairs, Hessians or Coalition.
[13.04.2022 04:39:34] A/)-Revenant: The Corsairs are vicious, diplomacy is hard to achieve with them. They speak in the language of war.
[13.04.2022 04:39:34] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We've made headway on relocation. The Taus seem promising, but no confirmaion yet.
[13.04.2022 04:39:38] A/)-Revenant: Unless you are to subjugate.
[13.04.2022 04:39:58] A/)-Revenant: Taus are arguably worse, what with the presence of the Outcasts and other undesirables. Even alien activity
[13.04.2022 04:39:59] A/)-Revenant: is sighted.
[13.04.2022 04:40:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Baffin, specifically.
[13.04.2022 04:41:38] A/)-Revenant: It is a highway for a discreet passage.
[13.04.2022 04:42:02] A/)-Revenant: Regardless... Yes, we are seeking to create a long-shot gateway. A stabilized rift, locked in location.
[13.04.2022 04:42:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Ablert: But I digress. Our goal is simply to generate the rift, the two connected systems are of lower priority.
[13.04.2022 04:42:14] A/)-Revenant: Randomised rifts, we can do that.
[13.04.2022 04:42:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: If you have sectors in mind to connect, we will try to obtain information from both ends.
[13.04.2022 04:42:49] A/)-Revenant: But, right now, we have problems of our own, namely the gate I spoke of. We need to reconnect with a home of ours.
[13.04.2022 04:43:04] A/)-Revenant: We are currently surrounded by Liberty, Bretonia and Crayter - ...
[13.04.2022 04:43:18] A/)-Revenant: This "home" I speak of, remains within Omicron Kappa.
[13.04.2022 04:43:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: How can I assist?
[13.04.2022 04:43:21] A/)-Revenant: You may have seen it.
[13.04.2022 04:43:24] A/)-Revenant: Gammu.
[13.04.2022 04:43:53] A/)-Revenant: As far as we know, there is no lockdown on Inverness, so you will be safe to proceed there if the law enforcement sees you.
[13.04.2022 04:44:12] A/)-Revenant: We will be establishing the site at Elgin. What we need to figure out is stabilizing the connection for such a long range.
[13.04.2022 04:44:16] A/)-Revenant: We may need to build several.
[13.04.2022 04:44:45] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Elgin is located within Inverness?
[13.04.2022 04:44:52] A/)-Revenant: Yes. It is our home world.
[13.04.2022 04:45:05] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Now I see the importance.
[13.04.2022 04:45:28] A/)-Revenant: While we have done what we can to entrench against invading capital vessels, not all of it can be surpressed.
[13.04.2022 04:45:36] A/)-Revenant: And we would rather not waste our technology on such ... trivial wars.
[13.04.2022 04:46:08] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: What would you have me do?
[13.04.2022 04:46:28] A/)-Revenant: What amenities do the Starfliers have? What is your research speciality and focus?
[13.04.2022 04:47:47] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: On site, our research teams are busy perfecting hyperspace beacons.
[13.04.2022 04:48:01] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: My team here specializes in Baxter-Type anomalies.
[13.04.2022 04:48:08] A/)-Revenant: Ah. Anchors. Hm.
[13.04.2022 04:48:30] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps it may be prudent to see if you can create such beacons for a larger device.
[13.04.2022 04:48:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Leon's team locates unused rifts in space to sell to other organisations.
[13.04.2022 04:48:39] A/)-Revenant: An exit, another gate, that acts as the end point.
[13.04.2022 04:48:50] A/)-Revenant: Do you think that is feasible?
[13.04.2022 04:49:05] A/)-Revenant: Yet, if you are to work on site in Kappa, I must warn you; the Corsairs, Order, Core and all them may not take it lightly.
[13.04.2022 04:49:15] A/)-Revenant: Unless you happen to be good with your words.
[13.04.2022 04:49:21] A/)-Revenant: These people wish for our extinction too.
[13.04.2022 04:49:47] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: To create a custom beacon, to be used as a destination point for an artificially created rift?
[13.04.2022 04:50:02] A/)-Revenant: Think of it how jumpgates work. Connecting two tunnels together.
[13.04.2022 04:50:24] A/)-Revenant: The exit gate, has the beacon within it, to triangulate and to help the other gate "aim" it properly.
[13.04.2022 04:50:42] A/)-Revenant: Yes, I suppose you could also do smaller scale ones for satellites.
[13.04.2022 04:50:59] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Hmm, yes. Just what I thought. I am sure my team can research it. With proper resources, maybe develope it.
[13.04.2022 04:51:29] A/)-Revenant: We know the frequency to operate upon that may not aggravate the certain brood of Nomads.
[13.04.2022 04:51:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: Are you done yet, Albert? I wanna sit on the chair.
[13.04.2022 04:51:35] A/)-Revenant: Well, they can still sense it, mind you.
[13.04.2022 04:51:56] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Security, restrain him.
[13.04.2022 04:52:18] A/)-Revenant: Poor man. You do not have many chairs, huh?
[13.04.2022 04:52:38] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Apologies. He is upset after Leon scrapped all Starflier transports.
[13.04.2022 04:52:54] A/)-Revenant: Oh?
[13.04.2022 04:53:08] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Now made my assistant, he is not very helpful.
[13.04.2022 04:53:33] A/)-Revenant: Why did he scrap them?
[13.04.2022 04:54:03] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Spread ourselves too thin. Wanted all our crews focused on research and development.
[13.04.2022 04:54:26] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: In that process I gained a couple extra members for my team, this was appreciated.
[13.04.2022 04:55:06] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: But I digress, you have mentioned this brood of Nomads before.
[13.04.2022 04:56:02] A/)-Revenant: Ah.
[13.04.2022 04:56:13] A/)-Revenant: Yes, you may know this particular brood as the Vagrants.
[13.04.2022 04:56:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Without straying too far on the topic, Leon knows about them. In his words, "They see us."
[13.04.2022 04:56:45] A/)-Revenant: Of course. They know when you play with the hyperspatial stream.
[13.04.2022 04:57:36] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: According to Leon, they also jumped him into an unknown sector and said he's welcome there.
[13.04.2022 04:57:48] A/)-Revenant: How... Peculiar.
[13.04.2022 04:57:57] A/)-Revenant: He didn't happen to describe what it appeared like?
[13.04.2022 04:58:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I do not know where this is, it was not recorded in great detail.
[13.04.2022 04:58:27] A/)-Revenant: Did he say it looked very purple?
[13.04.2022 04:58:45] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Hmm... he did mention two suns.
[13.04.2022 04:59:09] A/)-Revenant: A giant giant? Many moons?
[13.04.2022 04:59:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I am sorry, I have no other information.
[13.04.2022 04:59:43] A/)-Revenant: I see.
[13.04.2022 04:59:47] A/)-Revenant: I hope he is well?
[13.04.2022 05:00:23] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Last I saw he was going out to Munich. He was well at that time.
[13.04.2022 05:01:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: But I digress, if your frequencies do not disturb these "Vagrants", it might be wise to use them.
[13.04.2022 05:01:36] A/)-Revenant: It is hard to determine for certainty, but we can do what we must.
[13.04.2022 05:01:54] A/)-Revenant: Regardless, do you have any other corporate links?
[13.04.2022 05:02:26] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We are close with Orbital, though I do not see how they can be of assistance.
[13.04.2022 05:03:02] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We are on neutral to favoured terms with many. Not enough however to get them on board with this.
[13.04.2022 05:03:44] A/)-Revenant: They have trade connections too. Hm.
[13.04.2022 05:03:56] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: With the Corsairs, I know that much.
[13.04.2022 05:04:02] A/)-Revenant: They do?
[13.04.2022 05:04:05] A/)-Revenant: That is ... hmm.
[13.04.2022 05:04:14] A/)-Revenant: How did you come to learn of this?
[13.04.2022 05:04:22] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Also, we are on good terms with a certain group of Corsairs too.
[13.04.2022 05:05:09] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Leon likes to chat with Orbital's chairwoman from time to time. They have been friends for a long time.
[13.04.2022 05:05:10] A/)-Revenant: Elaborate?
[13.04.2022 05:05:15] A/)-Revenant: What group?
[13.04.2022 05:05:39] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Detterence, is it? They enabled the Starfliers to learn how this Corvo ship reads anomalies.
[13.04.2022 05:05:54] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: It was thanks to them I have this ship.
[13.04.2022 05:06:01] A/)-Revenant: Fascinating. I'm surprised those cretin--- Cretans can even operate them. They were never scientists.
[13.04.2022 05:07:05] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Such information is only learned when you fly around.
[13.04.2022 05:07:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Our voyages are mostly uneventful, there are times when we learn something new though.
[13.04.2022 05:08:04] A/)-Revenant: Or, perhaps, it is made to seem they are aware. Corsairs have never been historically, nor biologically, intellectually aware.
[13.04.2022 05:08:27] A/)-Revenant: Generations of famine will reduce the average intellectual capabilities of one, especially in childhood, no
[13.04.2022 05:08:32] A/)-Revenant: development time for the brain.
[13.04.2022 05:08:33] A/)-Revenant: But alas.
[13.04.2022 05:08:41] A/)-Revenant: They more than likely were trained by the Zoners.
[13.04.2022 05:09:03] A/)-Revenant: Deterrence has made a strong stance on trying to ravage scientific sites for profit.
[13.04.2022 05:09:09] Gossamer-[Fae: O-oh my.
[13.04.2022 05:09:09] A/)-Revenant: As for what they hope to achieve, I do not know.
[13.04.2022 05:09:11] Gossamer-[Fae: Uh.
[13.04.2022 05:09:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Good day, pilot.
[13.04.2022 05:09:15] A/)-Revenant: More than likely another ploy for power.
[13.04.2022 05:09:17] Gossamer-[Fae: Was not expecting to run into you here.
[13.04.2022 05:09:20] A/)-Revenant: As per usual with the Creti-... Corsairs.
[13.04.2022 05:09:24] Magma.Wolf: Howdy!
[13.04.2022 05:09:30] A/)-Revenant: I see you two are doing well.
[13.04.2022 05:09:38] A/)-Revenant: All /is/ well, I hope?
[13.04.2022 05:09:40] Gossamer-[Fae: Well enough. Beth here has never been to Gallia.
[13.04.2022 05:09:42] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Ah, you know these freelancers?
[13.04.2022 05:09:45] Magma.Wolf: Beth: ... YEP all good!
[13.04.2022 05:09:47] A/)-Revenant: Briefly.
[13.04.2022 05:10:04] A/)-Revenant: Well, at least the Navy did not stop you in the Independent Worlds, hm?
[13.04.2022 05:10:06] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems taken aback by Beth's blurting out, but shrugs.*
[13.04.2022 05:10:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Godspeed on your jounrye through Gallia, pilots.
[13.04.2022 05:10:15] A/)-Revenant: Oh.
[13.04.2022 05:10:18] A/)-Revenant: Some advice.
[13.04.2022 05:10:28] A/)-Revenant: Port Tawney - from Ill De France, St Denis.
[13.04.2022 05:10:30] A/)-Revenant: Divine.
[13.04.2022 05:10:35] A/)-Revenant: I believe it was from the St Denis colony.
[13.04.2022 05:10:40] A/)-Revenant: If you like red wine, that is.
[13.04.2022 05:10:46] Magma.Wolf: G-good ta know? Oh, it's a wine, not a port?
[13.04.2022 05:10:48] Gossamer-[Fae: I myself do not partake in alcohol, but thank you for the recommendation.
[13.04.2022 05:11:02] Gossamer-[Fae: Port, like... oh dear, Beth...
[13.04.2022 05:11:09] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: That makes two of us, Gossamer.
[13.04.2022 05:11:19] A/)-Revenant: Tastes like a wine to me, but my perspective is likely skewed from having synthetic biotracts.
[13.04.2022 05:11:26] Gossamer-[Fae: I may not drink it, but growing up on Curacao, I do know a thing or two about it.
[13.04.2022 05:11:40] Gossamer-[Fae: Alcohol is sort of as common as water there.
[13.04.2022 05:11:46] Magma.Wolf: I've never been here! A-anyways, I hope you an' Mr. Foulke an' all are doin' good.
[13.04.2022 05:11:51] A/)-Revenant: Wh- ...
[13.04.2022 05:11:55] A/)-Revenant: Stop.
[13.04.2022 05:11:57] A/)-Revenant: What did you say?
[13.04.2022 05:12:08] Gossamer-[Fae: Foulke...? Who is that?
[13.04.2022 05:12:30] Magma.Wolf: *Definitive sound of facepalming* I uhh, wellll... ya know how he was missing?
[13.04.2022 05:12:37] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: My name is Albert KcKenzie, not this Foulke
[13.04.2022 05:12:46] A/)-Revenant: Where did you hear about him?
[13.04.2022 05:13:03] Magma.Wolf: I sorta rescued him an' a few others from an icy planetoid in the Voidstag.
[13.04.2022 05:13:17] A/)-Revenant: What? Where?
[13.04.2022 05:13:20] A/)-Revenant: When?
[13.04.2022 05:13:22] A/)-Revenant: How?
[13.04.2022 05:13:54] Magma.Wolf: A couple years ago. There were some odd signals comin' from way out where I was.
[13.04.2022 05:14:05] A/)-Revenant: I need a vector, where was this place? What direction?
[13.04.2022 05:14:21] A/)-Revenant: ... wait. A couple of others?
[13.04.2022 05:14:30] A/)-Revenant: [There was a bit of silence, obviously overthinking this. ]
[13.04.2022 05:14:39] Magma.Wolf: Past the Edge. An' only one person alive.
[13.04.2022 05:15:25] Magma.Wolf: It was- really, really far out.
[13.04.2022 05:15:39] A/)-Revenant: Who were the others?
[13.04.2022 05:15:46] '\S/'Arcturus: [Albert leaves to go make coffee, Rex jumps on.]
[13.04.2022 05:16:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: Aha, others! Hello everyone.
[13.04.2022 05:16:18] Magma.Wolf: Don't know. They were deaders when my survey team got there.
[13.04.2022 05:16:29] A/)-Revenant: Do you still have any data on that? Navigational?
[13.04.2022 05:17:14] Magma.Wolf: Nope. It was a rogue body. After I towed the fighter out, there was nothin' ta track it by.
[13.04.2022 05:17:30] Gossamer-[Fae: Those things do have a tendency to drift...
[13.04.2022 05:17:31] A/)-Revenant: Your ship had no general bearing or where you found the body?
[13.04.2022 05:17:42] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: Hello! Hi!
[13.04.2022 05:17:43] A/)-Revenant: Yes, well, we can still calculate the trajectory - ...
[13.04.2022 05:18:13] Magma.Wolf: No sun ta get a point for. If it weren't fer the fighter's distress beacon, I wouldn't have found Will an' Aria.
[13.04.2022 05:18:25] A/)-Revenant: Aria?
[13.04.2022 05:18:39] A/)-Revenant: [There was a crack in their voice, shocked, or relief. ]
[13.04.2022 05:19:13] Magma.Wolf: Yep. She was a- an interestin' one. Sounds like ya knew her well.
[13.04.2022 05:19:19] A/)-Revenant: I ...
[13.04.2022 05:19:22] A/)-Revenant: ... I did...
[13.04.2022 05:19:25] A/)-Revenant: Where did she go?
[13.04.2022 05:19:42] Magma.Wolf: Don't know. She didn't say anythin'.
[13.04.2022 05:19:58] A/)-Revenant: Where did you last see her...?
[13.04.2022 05:20:15] Magma.Wolf: Dropped her at Freeport 11 with enough money ta get anywhere.
[13.04.2022 05:20:19] A/)-Revenant: Oh for f-
[13.04.2022 05:20:28] Magma.Wolf: She never said anything. I mean, at all.
[13.04.2022 05:20:43] A/)-Revenant: [They cleared their throat, sighing through the mask, a slight reverberation was heard. ]
[13.04.2022 05:20:53] A/)-Revenant: Thank you, I suppose.
[13.04.2022 05:21:20] Magma.Wolf: Will said he'd keep around, I uhh, think he was the only one she talked to.
[13.04.2022 05:21:35] A/)-Revenant: And this Will, where was he last seen?
[13.04.2022 05:21:52] Magma.Wolf: Foulke? Uhh-... Inverness?
[13.04.2022 05:22:09] A/)-Revenant: I see. Thank you for the heads up.
[13.04.2022 05:22:14] Magma.Wolf: My friend Kira was running escort for him over there.
[13.04.2022 05:23:37] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: Fine then, don't say hello. I'll sit back down with security. Boring conversation anyways.
[13.04.2022 05:23:45] Gossamer-[Fae: Is... everything alright, ma'am?
[13.04.2022 05:23:46] Magma.Wolf: Oh, howdy there! Sorry!
[13.04.2022 05:23:53] A/)-Revenant: [There was no further response. ]
[13.04.2022 05:23:58] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems genuinely concerned.*
[13.04.2022 05:24:15] Magma.Wolf: An' it's not boring! There's extrasolar bodies, missing friends, an' maybe a reunion!
[13.04.2022 05:24:56] '\S/'Arcturus: Rex: [Sad mumbling with quiet crying]
[13.04.2022 05:25:22] A/)-Revenant: [They grasped their shoulder for a moment, brushing it off. A very very subtle murmur could be heard, "not now. " ]
[13.04.2022 05:25:49] Magma.Wolf: Hey, if you need a moment ma'am... well, we're only human after all. We have our moments.
[13.04.2022 05:26:01] Magma.Wolf: Also hey, that a Corvo? Nice!
[13.04.2022 05:26:01] A/)-Revenant: [They planted a palm upon the forehead of their mask, almost in pain. Yet, they tried to remain stoic. ]
[13.04.2022 05:26:05] A/)-Revenant: All is well.
[13.04.2022 05:26:27] '\S/'Arcturus: [Albert returns to the seat to hear words about his ship]
[13.04.2022 05:26:28] Gossamer-[Fae: If you have any need of us... we sail the same stars.
[13.04.2022 05:26:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Indeed, Corvo-Class vessel. Starflier variant.
[13.04.2022 05:26:50] A/)-Revenant: Rex, tell Albert that I appreciate his assistance.
[13.04.2022 05:27:09] A/)-Revenant: Oh, he is back, nevermind... You know how business goes, you help us, we help you.
[13.04.2022 05:27:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Hmm? *sip* Did I miss something?
[13.04.2022 05:27:48] Magma.Wolf: I mean, i personally perfer my Dundlin, but if I landed a buncha money an' a contract fer exploration, I'd take a Corvo.
[13.04.2022 05:27:58] A/)-Revenant: I would like to talk more in the future, regarding the natives of the Omicrons.
[13.04.2022 05:28:23] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I am sure we will cross paths again. Are you needed somewhere else?
[13.04.2022 05:28:46] A/)-Revenant: [They were grasping their head with their palm, seemingly in agony. ]
[13.04.2022 05:29:08] A/)-Revenant: That will be... all.
[13.04.2022 05:29:15] A/)-Revenant: Farewell.
[13.04.2022 05:29:26] Gossamer-[Fae: *She gives a bow.* Sayonara.
[13.04.2022 05:29:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Away they go. Hmm.
[13.04.2022 05:29:42] Magma.Wolf: Well, we got a cluster ta get to experiencing!
[13.04.2022 05:29:49] Magma.Wolf: Maybe we'll see eachother again!
[13.04.2022 05:29:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Well, freelancers. Since I am out here with nothing to do. Mind if I fly with you?
[13.04.2022 05:30:01] Gossamer-[Fae: That seems good to me, hm?
[13.04.2022 05:30:13] Magma.Wolf: Sure!
[13.04.2022 05:30:20] Gossamer-[Fae: We were merely taking a tour of Gallia.
[13.04.2022 05:30:26] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Otherwise it is back to either the Omegas or Kepler.
[13.04.2022 05:30:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Tour of Gallia sounds nice.
[13.04.2022 05:30:41] Gossamer-[Fae: Let us go, then.
[13.04.2022 05:31:13] Magma.Wolf: So, when you say Starflier model, that some kinda custom jobby?
[13.04.2022 05:31:58] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Somewhat. The weapon mounts have been removed and hyperspace equipment installed.
[13.04.2022 05:32:30] Gossamer-[Fae: Shall we?

[13.04.2022 05:33:21] Gossamer-[Fae: Ile-de-France~
[13.04.2022 05:33:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This system looks quite calming.
[13.04.2022 05:33:47] Magma.Wolf: Oooh, it's- big. An' yeah, looks nice.
[13.04.2022 05:33:51] Gossamer-[Fae: You will nary see such a well-developed system.
[13.04.2022 05:34:18] Magma.Wolf: Oooh, pretty color gas-giant.
[13.04.2022 05:34:33] Gossamer-[Fae: Right? This place is beautiful!
[13.04.2022 05:34:43] Gossamer-[Fae: Such a lovely space...
[13.04.2022 05:35:13] Gossamer-[Fae: So, Starfliers, met one of your friends the other day.
[13.04.2022 05:35:21] Gossamer-[Fae: Think their name was... Halpert?
[13.04.2022 05:36:13] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Yes, Halpert. I trust your encounter with him went well?
[13.04.2022 05:36:32] Gossamer-[Fae: Hai. He was very pleasant, albeit fatigued. Do tell him to rest up and take care of themselves.
[13.04.2022 05:37:05] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Long flights charting systems will do that to a man suffering radiation sickness. I will remind him.
[13.04.2022 05:37:06] Magma.Wolf: Those stations- huh, this place really is developed.
[13.04.2022 05:37:18] Gossamer-[Fae: And Burgundy, to the left!
[13.04.2022 05:37:56] Gossamer-[Fae: Fun fact, this has the biggest planet in known space.
[13.04.2022 05:38:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Halpert's report on Baffin described Eris as being a big planet. THis bigger?
[13.04.2022 05:38:32] Magma.Wolf: That...
[13.04.2022 05:38:41] Gossamer-[Fae: Let's go fly in the rings!
[13.04.2022 05:38:47] Magma.Wolf: I was gonna say that!
[13.04.2022 05:39:01] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Suppose I could take a sample...
[13.04.2022 05:39:27] Gossamer-[Fae: Planet Tonerre.
[13.04.2022 05:39:29] Gossamer-[Fae: The big one.
[13.04.2022 05:39:32] Gossamer-[Fae: *Giggles*
[13.04.2022 05:39:43] Magma.Wolf: Ya know, fer bein' called Burgundy, this place is really blue.
[13.04.2022 05:39:50] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have yet to find something I do not like in Gallia.
[13.04.2022 05:40:04] Gossamer-[Fae: Burgundy was an old kingdom on Earth, I think.
[13.04.2022 05:40:59] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: 1.2 tonnes should be enough.
[13.04.2022 05:41:11] Gossamer-[Fae: *If one didn't know any better, it would seem like the pilot of the Gossamer was sticking a hand out and skimming the ring dust
[13.04.2022 05:41:18] Gossamer-[Fae: with a bare hand.*
[13.04.2022 05:41:30] Gossamer-[Fae: *It must just be the impression she gives, though.*
[13.04.2022 05:41:38] Gossamer-[Fae: It's so majestic..!
[13.04.2022 05:42:07] Magma.Wolf: Like an ocean in an ocean.
[13.04.2022 05:42:13] Gossamer-[Fae: *Her laugh is mirthful, joyous.*
[13.04.2022 05:42:20] Gossamer-[Fae: *Even childlike.*
[13.04.2022 05:43:01] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: *Chuckles* THis is quite fun.
[13.04.2022 05:43:15] Gossamer-[Fae: It's magical, like a fairy in a fog.
[13.04.2022 05:43:18] Magma.Wolf: This is what I got into explorin' for. Finding beauty in the universe.
[13.04.2022 05:43:46] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Need to send Halpert out here and see this for himself.
[13.04.2022 05:44:08] Gossamer-[Fae: Pretty much everything here may as well be a moon of Tonerre.
[13.04.2022 05:44:19] Gossamer-[Fae: If it were any bigger, it'd probably be a star!
[13.04.2022 05:44:39] Magma.Wolf: It's certainly got the gravity. Could damn near undergo fusion. Maybe.
[13.04.2022 05:45:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Points to further research. Interesting.
[13.04.2022 05:45:17] Gossamer-[Fae: Wow... you see that field up ahead?
[13.04.2022 05:45:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: A war? Now?
[13.04.2022 05:45:39] Gossamer-[Fae: From the last one.
[13.04.2022 05:45:49] Gossamer-[Fae: A graveyard.
[13.04.2022 05:45:51] Magma.Wolf: What a waste.
[13.04.2022 05:45:53] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: A graveyard...
[13.04.2022 05:46:13] Gossamer-[Fae: Ships from all over Sirius.
[13.04.2022 05:46:48] Gossamer-[Fae: ...
[13.04.2022 05:46:59] Magma.Wolf: Looks mainly like Gallia an' Kusari ships...
[13.04.2022 05:47:32] Gossamer-[Fae: All these ships... the souls aboard...
[13.04.2022 05:47:40] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems to cradle her head for a moment.*
[13.04.2022 05:47:41] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I do not like it here.
[13.04.2022 05:47:42] Magma.Wolf: We should go.
[13.04.2022 05:47:49] Gossamer-[Fae: Ach...
[13.04.2022 05:48:30] Gossamer-[Fae: Need to...
[13.04.2022 05:48:38] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems distracted, disoriented.*
[13.04.2022 05:48:40] Magma.Wolf: Hey, stay with m- us!
[13.04.2022 05:48:50] Gossamer-[Fae: Something about this place...
[13.04.2022 05:48:52] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Another minute out here and I'm leaving.
[13.04.2022 05:48:55] Magma.Wolf: I know it's cold here- but we need to go.
[13.04.2022 05:49:07] Gossamer-[Fae: *She throws a flick of the switch, and hits cruise.*
[13.04.2022 05:49:11] Gossamer-[Fae: Gah!
[13.04.2022 05:49:34] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Thank you.
[13.04.2022 05:49:44] Gossamer-[Fae: Up next... up next...
[13.04.2022 05:49:52] Magma.Wolf: Hey, you good, Kimi?
[13.04.2022 05:50:02] Gossamer-[Fae: Champagne. *She says it with the French pronunciation.*
[13.04.2022 05:50:08] Gossamer-[Fae: I think... so?
[13.04.2022 05:50:28] Gossamer-[Fae: Activating sequence...
[13.04.2022 05:51:18] Gossamer-[Fae: Here is where it all started...
[13.04.2022 05:51:30] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Hmm?
[13.04.2022 05:51:34] Gossamer-[Fae: Marne.
[13.04.2022 05:51:45] Magma.Wolf: Didn't the rebellion start there?
[13.04.2022 05:52:02] Gossamer-[Fae: Hai. Where the Council first began their war of freedom.
[13.04.2022 05:52:36] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Im afraid this is where I will stop.
[13.04.2022 05:52:40] Gossamer-[Fae: Resting?
[13.04.2022 05:52:45] Magma.Wolf: All good?
[13.04.2022 05:53:29] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Resting, yes. This coffee is not doing me any favours.
[13.04.2022 05:53:46] Magma.Wolf: I mean, I just docked the Voidstag for maintainence... *muttered* dunno why my crew kept smirking an' saying good luck. Oh?
[13.04.2022 05:54:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Appreciated the tour though Gallia so far. If we meet again, perhaps another?
[13.04.2022 05:54:10] Gossamer-[Fae: *She blushes a moment*
[13.04.2022 05:54:17] Gossamer-[Fae: Of course! Name is Kimiko.
[13.04.2022 05:54:20] Gossamer-[Fae: Kimiko Hawkins.
[13.04.2022 05:54:38] Magma.Wolf: Yeah! Anyways, if ya ever need an escort for deep recon missions, I can work that! Name's Beth, Beth Texas. Yes really.
[13.04.2022 05:54:41] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Albert McKenzie. Godspeed with the rest of your tour.
I've had multiple run ins with the Auxo guy, Revenant. It seems every time I've seen him recently, a Liberty Rogue called Hemlocke is always nearby. That Rogue has something against me... always threatening me due to me not having any weapons. I guess me telling him to throw himself into the sun took it too far last time. Revenant told me to keep it neutral, so I left before I crossed a second line, if there is such a thing.
To Leon: Revenant had a message for ya. Guess we got a new no-fly zone.
Code:
[26.04.2022 10:06:16] A/)-Revenant: Now, my little Starflier, I do have a message for you.
[26.04.2022 10:06:26] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Huh? Yeah?
[26.04.2022 10:06:38] A/)-Revenant: Please pass on the note that Kappa - primarily the radius around the frozen planet - is also off limits.
[26.04.2022 10:06:45] A/)-Revenant: We appear to have forgotten to pass that notion on
[26.04.2022 10:06:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Whatever that means. But sure.
[26.04.2022 10:08:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Surely this was not for me.
[26.04.2022 10:09:01] A/)-Revenant: Pass it on to your boss.
[26.04.2022 10:09:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Fine.

Code:
[26.04.2022 10:04:38] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Good day to you, pilot.
[26.04.2022 10:04:44] Ego: Likewise.
[26.04.2022 10:05:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Rheinland tech? Interesting. Don't see many flying that.
[26.04.2022 10:05:35] Ego: And I don't see many pilots flying an unarmed ship.
[26.04.2022 10:05:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: *sighs* The Rogues, and now you.
[26.04.2022 10:06:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Can't people just leave that alone?
[26.04.2022 10:07:25] Ego: Kill that idiot.
[26.04.2022 10:07:28] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I should always expect Hemlocke if I see you now, eh?
[26.04.2022 10:07:31] A/)-Revenant: Now-now.
[26.04.2022 10:07:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Always a great sign.
[26.04.2022 10:07:42] A/)-Revenant: Calm down, kids.
[26.04.2022 10:07:54] [R]-HemIocke: We're close to the same age.
[26.04.2022 10:08:00] A/)-Revenant: You don't know that.
[26.04.2022 10:08:08] Ego: Good riddace.
[26.04.2022 10:08:10] [R]-HemIocke: You stopped counting, close enough.
[26.04.2022 10:08:49] [R]-HemIocke: Who the hell was that Jackdaw anyway.
[26.04.2022 10:08:53] A/)-Revenant: Evans.
[26.04.2022 10:08:57] [R]-HemIocke: Of course it was.
[26.04.2022 10:09:10] A/)-Revenant: I do not remember him, not entirely.
[26.04.2022 10:09:32] [R]-HemIocke: Obnoxious idiot, overly friendly, made stupid jokes. Hung out with Myrtle all day.
[26.04.2022 10:09:42] [R]-HemIocke: He's friends with Sparks.
[26.04.2022 10:09:52] A/)-Revenant: Hm.
[26.04.2022 10:09:53] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: What? Myrtle?
[26.04.2022 10:10:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I have words for them.
[26.04.2022 10:10:11] [R]-HemIocke: Didn't ask.
[26.04.2022 10:10:26] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Didn't ask you either.
[26.04.2022 10:10:49] [R]-HemIocke: You aren't very good at running.
[26.04.2022 10:10:52] [R]-HemIocke: Remember that.
[26.04.2022 10:10:54] Ego: Odd way to start a subject.
[26.04.2022 10:11:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I have a feeling today is my lucky day.
[26.04.2022 10:13:02] Ego: Good on you.
[26.04.2022 10:13:12] Preparing to cloak...
[26.04.2022 10:13:13] Ego: I'm still waiting for such luck.
[26.04.2022 10:13:33] Cloaking device on
[26.04.2022 10:14:09] Ego: Either get away, or uncloak. I hate that noise.
[26.04.2022 10:14:22] [R]-HemIocke: Give you flashbacks does it?
[26.04.2022 10:14:34] Ego: What flashbacks?
[26.04.2022 10:14:46] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Oh? Well I'll continue to deafen Hemlocke. As long as this tech lasts.
[26.04.2022 10:14:56] A/)-Revenant: Enough, Halpert.
[26.04.2022 10:15:02] [R]-HemIocke: You do know how easy that is to turn off right?
[26.04.2022 10:15:12] Ego: Continue, and I will shoot you instead of that Rogue.
[26.04.2022 10:15:19] Ego: And trust me. One shot is enough.
[26.04.2022 10:15:23] [R]-HemIocke: Excuse me?
[26.04.2022 10:15:28] A/)-Revenant: No one is shooting anyone.
[26.04.2022 10:15:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: If you land such a hit.
[26.04.2022 10:15:36] Ego: I will.
[26.04.2022 10:15:58] A/)-Revenant: Halpert, go home, now.
[26.04.2022 10:16:18] A/)-Revenant: Lancer, no one is shoting anyone today.
[26.04.2022 10:16:20] A/)-Revenant: // shooting*
[26.04.2022 10:16:24] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You're not my boss. And home is toxic right now.
[26.04.2022 10:16:50] Ego: And the reason for cloaking is...?
[26.04.2022 10:16:52] A/)-Revenant: No, but I do have my ways to affect your job.
[26.04.2022 10:17:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: *dry chuckle* Ah, you and the Rogue now. That's nice to hear.
[26.04.2022 10:17:27] A/)-Revenant: Such hostilities all around are unnecessary.
[26.04.2022 10:17:43] A/)-Revenant: You need not to make enemies, needlessly like so.
[26.04.2022 10:17:59] A/)-Revenant: Likewise, Ego, I hope you do not go around randomly threatening people like so.
[26.04.2022 10:18:09] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Need I remind you the Rogue has a problem with me? Not the other way around.
[26.04.2022 10:18:10] Ego: Wouldn't you like to know.
[26.04.2022 10:18:18] A/)-Revenant: Of course, but do not provoke him even further.
[26.04.2022 10:18:34] A/)-Revenant: He has ... issues with those with pacifism. But, if he lays a hand upon you, you know I am forced to act.
[26.04.2022 10:18:47] A/)-Revenant: You need not encourage conflict for the sake of it.
[26.04.2022 10:18:49] [R]-HemIocke: She can't bring me down before I tear out your pod.
[26.04.2022 10:18:58] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Tall ask. But fine.
[26.04.2022 10:19:06] A/)-Revenant: Present courtesy.
[26.04.2022 10:19:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Again, tall ask.
[26.04.2022 10:19:26] A/)-Revenant: Neutrality, is all I ask for.
[26.04.2022 10:19:46] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Let me leave without... making it worse then.
[26.04.2022 10:20:11] A/)-Revenant: I'm sorry that you endured harassment for your equipment choice.
[26.04.2022 10:20:20] Ego: What equipment?
[26.04.2022 10:20:20] A/)-Revenant: but try not to make things worse.
Since we moved out of the Kepler System to Omega-3, my curiosity of the Border Worlds took me to the Omega-48 system. There, in orbit of Gran Canaria, I met a Zoner flying a Nephilim-Class Colony Ship. That ship overshadowed my Bustard's in size. The captain of this ship, Zane, explained a brief history of his ship. This got me to talk about my history with my own vessel, and how my company was born. Reliving old memories was nice, this lead me to showing what a blind jump was to Zane. I initiated an unguided rift-leap and disappeared. Though, I am not ready to talk about where I ended up just yet...

[06.05.2022 11:37:17] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not sure. The name's Commander Zane McAllister.
[06.05.2022 11:37:46] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Commander of Zoner Defense Fleet. I have been around in my trading vessel, the Albus Lepus, you may know me from there.

[06.05.2022 11:38:34] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Ah yes, the Starflyers. I remember I restocked your base in Kepler.
[06.05.2022 11:38:40] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Haha, yep. That's it.
[06.05.2022 11:38:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I must be remembering someone else. Your ship and theirs are smiliar.
[06.05.2022 11:39:00] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: I like to fly my Freelancer ships from time to time. It's nice to be anonymous every so often.

[06.05.2022 11:39:28] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Nephilim's are fairly rare. The Zoners don't make many of them due to the expense. This one was recovered from outside...

[06.05.2022 11:40:02] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Outside known space? That's somewhere I'd like to go.
[06.05.2022 11:40:24] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Well...maybe if you've got a jumpdrive. I was thrown outside of known space by an unstable jumphole.

[06.05.2022 11:43:20] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So, what's your story then? Found this Nephilim-Class just floating there in space?
[06.05.2022 11:43:49] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Let me tell you. I thought I was dead. Managed to get it powered up enough after 20 years and jumped it here by luck.
[06.05.2022 11:44:07] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Was the original Nephilim prototype it turns out. Found it by sheer luck...and...
[06.05.2022 11:44:19] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: *Zane grows quiet for a moment*
[06.05.2022 11:44:33] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Turns out my dad was the original commander. He and the ship were lost for 20 years after an accident.
[06.05.2022 11:44:47] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: It's a...long story.
[06.05.2022 11:45:04] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: No need to go down that rabbit hole if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
[06.05.2022 11:45:32] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Haha, rabbit hole. White rabbit. Funny.
[06.05.2022 11:46:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Oh... oh! I didn't even notice the transponder. Too distracted by the ship itself.
[06.05.2022 11:49:42] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Suppose you'd wanna know what the Starfliers are about? Me being unarmed surely has sparked a few.
[06.05.2022 11:50:05] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sure, sounds like an interesting story.
[06.05.2022 11:50:13] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sorry was...sort of in my own head there for a bit.
[06.05.2022 11:50:36] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's alright, I'm sure you had a moment, memories and such. It happens.
[06.05.2022 11:50:49] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Mmmhmm.
[06.05.2022 11:51:02] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: My story has me in the Omicrons, funnily enough.
[06.05.2022 11:51:24] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: The Omicrons are...well...you know. Haha.
[06.05.2022 11:51:37] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Purchased this particular Bustard from a zoner station. It was all busted up, with all this equipment on board.
[06.05.2022 11:52:02] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sharp looking ship indeed.
[06.05.2022 11:52:08] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Decided to fly around and see the world. Little did I know I had a malfunctioning Jump Drive.
[06.05.2022 11:52:35] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Yeah...those are fun. Been at the receiving end of a flawed Jumpdrive. It's...not fun.
[06.05.2022 11:53:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Asteroids were my worst enemy. One knocked one of my armour plates loose on the nose of this ship.
[06.05.2022 11:53:40] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: We can't even manuver this ship out of Omega-48 right now. The jump drive in this one was in really bad shape.
[06.05.2022 11:53:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: For whatever reason, the wiring or something was off, send me blind jumping everytime that panel was impacted.
[06.05.2022 11:53:48] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Had to eject it into space.
[06.05.2022 11:54:16] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: One such area was the Hammen Hole, you ever seen it?
[06.05.2022 11:54:26] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Can't say I have.
[06.05.2022 11:54:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: One blind jump landed me there. I can show you, it's sort of nearby.
[06.05.2022 11:55:13] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It's the reason I don't use weapons... that graveyard.
[06.05.2022 11:55:30] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: We can't take the White Rabbit out of Omega-48 at the moment. She's a big girl.
[06.05.2022 11:55:45] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not practical to pilot her to other systems until we've got a new jumpdrive installed.
[06.05.2022 11:55:55] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Very big... I almost forget there are ships bigger than my Bustard.
[06.05.2022 11:56:21] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: My other vessels are at other Freeports too, sadly.
[06.05.2022 11:56:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: If you're ever curious... it's in Omega-5.
[06.05.2022 11:57:18] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not too far away from here then.
[06.05.2022 11:57:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hmm... not far, but it's quite a sight.
[06.05.2022 11:57:48] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Not long after, I started the Starfliers.
[06.05.2022 11:58:22] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Salutations L.O.S.T.
[06.05.2022 11:58:28] L.O.S.T: Hi...
[06.05.2022 11:58:39] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hmm? Unusual designation. Good day, pilot.
[06.05.2022 11:58:47] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: How are things this evening?
[06.05.2022 11:59:01] L.O.S.T: It's a long story, NX-01 actual.
[06.05.2022 11:59:08] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You can call me Leon.
[06.05.2022 11:59:25] L.O.S.T: Very well.
[06.05.2022 11:59:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So yeah, I started this company. An unarmed research group. Been a year now... a lot has happened.
[06.05.2022 12:00:04] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Interesting. What kind of research if you don't mind me asking.
[06.05.2022 12:00:32] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Started with selling survey data, it has grown since then.
[06.05.2022 12:00:57] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Very interesting. Might need some data in the future if you'd be interested.
[06.05.2022 12:01:08] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: You have my word we'd only use it for defensive purposes.
[06.05.2022 12:01:27] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I'd be pleased to gain a new client, though our ships are slowly being outfitted with Starflier Beacons.
[06.05.2022 12:01:36] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Feel free to use them too.
[06.05.2022 12:01:58] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: I'll communicate with your people once we're ready to get that particular part online. Right now we can't jump just yet.
[06.05.2022 12:02:05] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Still procuring a jump drive.
[06.05.2022 12:02:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Understood. We'll still be around when you do.
[06.05.2022 12:03:09] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sounds like a plan. We need to land the White Rabbit now. Still retrofitting old systems.
[06.05.2022 12:03:23] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: She's an old girl, but we're working on getting her all updated.
[06.05.2022 12:03:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Best of luck to you and your ship.
[06.05.2022 12:03:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Godspeed.
[06.05.2022 12:03:44] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Thanks. You too. Enjoy 48, it's a beautiful system.
[06.05.2022 12:03:45] L.O.S.T: You defined your vessel as a ''she''?
[06.05.2022 12:03:58] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I do the same.
[06.05.2022 12:04:10] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Indeed. Not sure where it originated.
[06.05.2022 12:04:11] L.O.S.T: Curious...

[06.05.2022 12:04:48] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Of course.

[06.05.2022 12:05:22] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Would you like to see a controlled blind jump, from the outside?
[06.05.2022 12:05:50] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: That sounds interesting. Let's go outside of the No Fire Zone, however.
[06.05.2022 12:06:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I can agree to that.

Boucher... he wants us in Roussillon. Can't blame him, if we situate ourselves there, then we could rally enough support to return Toulouse's status back to normal. When it comes to our base, anywhere outside from Kepler is great, though we don't want to place ourselves within House laws... so the Border and Independent Worlds is all we got. We need resources for our station to run... unfortunately, Roussillon doesn't give us that. I would like to help Boucher, but being located within this system is going to be trading away our base's integrity to help them. Something I think Leon will not agree with.
We also visited... their system. Boucher plans to build a station out there. I warned him... he's going to sign a death wish if he intends on following through with it.

[07.05.2022 11:57:32] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: There you are Sirian
[07.05.2022 11:57:46] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Sirian? You should know my name by now.
[07.05.2022 11:58:19] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Putain de Merde Halpert, did you come here for information or to be sassy with me
[07.05.2022 11:58:38] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Both? I wanted to discuss our relocation plan.
[07.05.2022 11:58:44] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Oui!
[07.05.2022 11:58:50] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well what did you think about what I suggested
[07.05.2022 11:58:59] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: See that rotating ball over there?
[07.05.2022 11:59:17] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Toulouse people call it
[07.05.2022 11:59:17] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: This planet?
[07.05.2022 11:59:22] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Oui
[07.05.2022 11:59:32] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: As I was saying - there is space in it's orbit
[07.05.2022 11:59:41] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Damn thing was nuked by the Council when they were leaving in a hurry
[07.05.2022 11:59:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Not as bad as Leeds.
[07.05.2022 12:00:10] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Of course not, tactical nukes on 4 settlements
[07.05.2022 12:00:31] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Not a big deal, but regardless the Atmosphere is too toxic to even walk in
[07.05.2022 12:00:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So we can't repair a docking ring, I hope you know this.
[07.05.2022 12:00:55] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: That ring is pointless, Oui
[07.05.2022 12:01:10] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Where you could come in is your neutral presence you see
[07.05.2022 12:01:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Go on.
[07.05.2022 12:01:28] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: With you here it would take much less convincing other Sirians to help take clean up the nuclear windfall
[07.05.2022 12:01:39] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: We have no resources to do that ourselves
[07.05.2022 12:01:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Nor do we.
[07.05.2022 12:02:08] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: But I do see the prospect for... snowballing.
[07.05.2022 12:02:13] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Halpert don't be sassy with me - you know what I mean
[07.05.2022 12:02:18] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Yes Sirius supports us often
[07.05.2022 12:02:31] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: but still our image tends to be one of well, very very enthusiastic bunch
[07.05.2022 12:02:46] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: so getting someone to clean this up isn't easy when it's just us and the Brigands here *smiles*
[07.05.2022 12:03:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: How will the base survive when necessities have been irradiated?
[07.05.2022 12:03:12] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: So have you give in some thought? Your base here?
[07.05.2022 12:03:32] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Your base wouldn't go on the surface
[07.05.2022 12:03:39] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: But into the Orbit itself
[07.05.2022 12:04:18] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Could be a resting point for Sirians in a way
[07.05.2022 12:04:40] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: We are not exactly keen on letting whoever will assist with the cleanup moor with Pamiers or our hidden bases *smiles*
[07.05.2022 12:04:43] Death: Ol'Oak was put out of action by L\-Ezio,Aquila (Gun).
[07.05.2022 12:05:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You have no personel to help within that ship?
[07.05.2022 12:05:32] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: It's our flagship and only battleship - it's purpose is combat and it has well, secrets on board, we wouldn't like strangers
[07.05.2022 12:05:34] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: sniffing around
[07.05.2022 12:05:49] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Why to revitalise the planet having someone neutral in the system would be favourable to us
[07.05.2022 12:06:27] Death: Older-Oak was put out of action by L\-Ezio,Aquila (Gun).
[07.05.2022 12:06:38] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hmmm...
[07.05.2022 12:07:11] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'll level with you. This system is known to me.
[07.05.2022 12:07:28] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: go on
[07.05.2022 12:07:53] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: There's no simple way to keep up with Starflier Base's demand if we were to relocate here.
[07.05.2022 12:08:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Yes, we could potentially rally help. But we have to make sure we can sustain ourselves here.
[07.05.2022 12:09:18] Death: Older-Oak was put out of action by L\-Ezio,Aquila (Gun).
[07.05.2022 12:09:28] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Touche Sirian - we could assist but not in a huge way
[07.05.2022 12:09:38] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well if it's not refuge what you seek, what is
[07.05.2022 12:09:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Make no mistake, anywhere outside of Kepler is refuge.
[07.05.2022 12:10:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Especially when we've lived there for one year.
[07.05.2022 12:10:38] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well 37 is a mess as you saw *smiles*
[07.05.2022 12:10:47] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: We still need to chat about that.
[07.05.2022 12:10:49] Death: Older-Oak was put out of action by L\-Ezio,Aquila (Gun).
[07.05.2022 12:10:54] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: There is a nearby system, Limousin
[07.05.2022 12:10:56] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Was side tracked last time.
[07.05.2022 12:11:01] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: but I suspect you would also run into the same issues
[07.05.2022 12:11:18] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well yes, 37 is a warzone and a hellhole
[07.05.2022 12:11:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Limousin?
[07.05.2022 12:11:37] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Oui, there is a jump hole we have discovered recently
[07.05.2022 12:11:47] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: We have christened the system Limousin
[07.05.2022 12:11:55] /fi [flg]
[07.05.2022 12:12:00] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Our plan B you might sya if things go wrong here
[07.05.2022 12:12:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Show me.
[07.05.2022 12:12:21] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Why not, follow me
[07.05.2022 12:12:30] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: It's largely lifeless
[07.05.2022 12:12:51] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Just some Animals were spotted, but that is a while ago
[07.05.2022 12:13:00] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Animals?
[07.05.2022 12:13:15] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Oui, Zoners keep some of them
[07.05.2022 12:13:20] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: These seemed more aggressive
[07.05.2022 12:13:54] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Limousin in all her glory
[07.05.2022 12:13:59] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: It is quiet as you can see
[07.05.2022 12:14:08] '\S/'Pulsar: *Unusual shivers*
[07.05.2022 12:14:15] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Good place to hide - we are thinking of constructing a forward base of our own here
[07.05.2022 12:14:30] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I have a bad feeling about that.
[07.05.2022 12:14:48] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: You weak Sirians *laughs*
[07.05.2022 12:14:54] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Nothing is worse than the Royalists
[07.05.2022 12:15:09] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: When you survive a genocide, Glassing, Gassing and betrayals
[07.05.2022 12:15:16] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Some wild system is nothing
[07.05.2022 12:15:37] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: I suppose thisis not good for you either
[07.05.2022 12:15:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I won't be a part of your death wish if you're wrong about this.
[07.05.2022 12:16:07] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: If the Union strikes us in Roussillon our death is all but guaranteed
[07.05.2022 12:16:26] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Death penalty for everyone they dislike and call so called "terrorists" is automatic you see
[07.05.2022 12:16:49] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: I assume since you don't consider Roussillon resources rich enough for your base
[07.05.2022 12:16:55] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Limousin is out of the question for you
[07.05.2022 12:17:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Both you and I have no idea whats out here.
[07.05.2022 12:17:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Which brings up why you think here is safe, or better, than Roussillon.
[07.05.2022 12:17:44] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Yes Halpert, you just described space *laughs*
[07.05.2022 12:17:57] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: The Royalists and Union know of Roussillon
[07.05.2022 12:18:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: This place?
[07.05.2022 12:18:08] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: that can gas glass and murder our children there
[07.05.2022 12:18:15] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: They shouldn't know of this place, Non
[07.05.2022 12:18:33] Death: L\-Ezio,Aquila suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[07.05.2022 12:18:39] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: so if things go wrong in Roussillon it makes sense to seek refuge where they haven't been already
[07.05.2022 12:19:11] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: But enough about our boring plan B
[07.05.2022 12:19:15] Death: 5th|Dayvon.Bennet' was put out of action by Breaker (Gun).
[07.05.2022 12:19:16] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: What is it you really wanted to know
[07.05.2022 12:19:26] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Let's head back, there is still nothing of interest here
[07.05.2022 12:20:10] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Good we're out of there. Was getting a familiar feeling of being watched.
[07.05.2022 12:20:35] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well?
[07.05.2022 12:20:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Good we're out of there. Was getting a familiar feeling of being watched.
[07.05.2022 12:20:58] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: By god Halpert, and you wanted to go to Tau-37?
[07.05.2022 12:21:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Listen, as much as we could help, we need to look after our own too.
[07.05.2022 12:21:34] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: The Outcasts, Navy heck even Gaians and us and those animals
[07.05.2022 12:21:40] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: even Crayter ship is there lifeless
[07.05.2022 12:21:48] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: An irradiated planet, and a couple capital ships doesn't really give us a lot to work with.
[07.05.2022 12:21:53] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: If you are spooked by one dead system what did you want to do there *laughs*
[07.05.2022 12:22:23] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Bretonia is but a stone's throw, so is Crayter territory and Provence
[07.05.2022 12:22:24] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hear your plan, see if potentially it was something we could work with.
[07.05.2022 12:22:58] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Well you heard it *laughs* we want to spruce up the place and someone neutral we can trust like you would suit us
[07.05.2022 12:23:22] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Is that all Halpert? Or anything else you were after here
[07.05.2022 12:23:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: No... I think we understand what we're both after here. I'll relay this back to Leon.
[07.05.2022 12:23:50] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: *tips hat*
[07.05.2022 12:24:12] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Bon! I will contact you if we need more places spie...errr cartographed!
[07.05.2022 12:24:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Time to hit up Tau-37 again... see if there's any chaos, like you said.
[07.05.2022 12:24:30] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Stay safe our there Sirian, and don't worry so much
[07.05.2022 12:24:36] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Stress is the biggest killer you know

[07.05.2022 12:24:48] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Take care of yourself.
[07.05.2022 12:24:55] [FLG]Boucher's.Jag: Will do
I was mapping Omega-7 when I received a general broadcast for Starfliers to assemble in Liberty. Putting aside my charting I made my way to New York. Unfortunately I had some engine damage received from mapping a cloud of volatile gases. By the time I reached Liberty, whatever event was supposed to happen, was over.
Mr. Halpert contacted me to warn me not to return to the Starflier Base, so I went to meet up with him in Coronado, he had found an escorted convoy that was headed into the Omicrons. Remembering my prior fascination with how to reach the Omicrons, I decided to tag along for the ride.
Mr Halpert seems to be a little grumpy, but he's sweet. He grumbled a bit about everything, but never hesitated to answer any questions that I had. He reminds me of my Ojii-san before he passed away.
The convoy consisted of multiple Freelancers being escorted by a Bounty Hunter.
Everyone was friendly, though the NHI ship "Ye Donkey" was piloted by someone who sounded a bit crude and possibly not all there in the brains department.
We were taken through to the Virginia System where I saw the largest and most impressive Jumpgate I have ever seen. Everything was marked as "restricted" but no-one seemed bothered by this fact. I attempted to take a picture with my charting camera... Only to find out that my camera was broken. Probably in the same explosion that damaged my engines in Omega-7. Halpi...err Mr Halpert had to quickly leave due to an urgent reason, but I continued on with the convoy.
Disappointed, but intent on seeing this ride through to the end, I followed everyone through the jumpgate and found a really beautiful system. Apparently called Omicron-Nu, giant green nebula pillars dominated the scenery. The system has a bright star, gas giants and pretty asteroid fields. As I followed the convoy I saw a small station, but the convoy members claimed it was just a rest-stop.
The next system was called Omicron-Minor. It was as claustrophobic and oppressive as Nu was open and impressive. Everything was in a thick green cloud of dust and asteroids that was hard to see through. There were no points of reference or directions to be made out, yet people still knew where they were going. Entering into an automated formation with Ye Donkey, tried to make sense of this system, but instead was told about scary purple aliens that live in the area and attack unwary ships.
Little did I know that they weren't ghost stories...
In the next system, Omicron-Zeta, I was again greeted by a beautiful scenery, this time purple. No sign of the oppressive green cloud could be seen. No sooner had I passed through the gate, than I was greeted by an unfamiliar ship signal. A strange nearly translucent purple vessel was performing graceful curves and circling maneuvers around the convoy. The Bounty Hunter was keen to go into battle stations, but the purple ship did not attack us. The convoy allowed me to go up close and scan the ship, which didn't work... Same problem as the camera.
I was told that this graceful and almost beautiful ship was one of the mysterious "nomad". I was told it was only a baby, which is why it did not attack, but that they are horrifying and aggressive normally. This ship allowed me to get close and examine it without attacking, but did not respond to any attempts at communication.
Returning to the convoy, I followed them through this beautiful purple space and into another drastic contrast, Omicron Delta. The system is surrounded by darkness, like it is the opposite of Omicron Zeta. The local star demonstrated that there was no dust or visual obstruction. Just that we were in a giant tunnel through a dark nebula. A quick calculation made me realise, this tunnel's width could be measured in light-years, therefore length was unfathomable. The tunnel is perfectly straight, which means either nature is really freaky or something so powerful it is mind numbing had made the tunnel.
I somewhat in shock by now I followed the convoy to Planet Nauru. At this point they started talking about a return trip. I decided that I would stop here at the planet. The Core, who own the planet, possess the technology to repair my survey equipment. This would allow me to once again take pictures, calculate coordinates and record my journey in a manner more fitting than mere words. I also figured that I could use the time to wait for Halpie... Umm... Mr Halpert to catch up.

[05.05.2022 09:03:30] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: What a waste... looks like the one in Ala-
[05.05.2022 09:03:51] '\S/'Pyxis: Sir, I have a memo here that says you're not supposed to talk about that.
[05.05.2022 09:04:18] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Memo? Must have missed that. Who have we got here?
[05.05.2022 09:04:52] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: It's Muliah, sir. You met me in Omega-11.
[05.05.2022 09:05:23] Schnellboot-151: Good day, I've been contracted to act as escort. It works for me because we might run into my bounty target along the way.
[05.05.2022 09:05:46] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Well then, a small party. Where we going?
[05.05.2022 09:06:07] '\S/'Pyxis: Greetings Schnellboot. I'm here to hitch an escorted ride. I've never been to the Omicrons before. This is new to me.
[05.05.2022 09:06:10] Schnellboot-151: Our destination is Planet Nauru in Omicron Delta.
[05.05.2022 09:06:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Sorry, Muliah. Been sleeping a lot recently. Cryer drugs are powerful.
[05.05.2022 09:06:40] Schnellboot-151: Take the Stabline in moderation. Although Cryer probably wouldn't complain.
[05.05.2022 09:06:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Stabiline? Never heard of it.
[05.05.2022 09:07:09] '\S/'Pyxis: They told me to leave Kepler sir. I'd only been there for a few days. How is the crew?
[05.05.2022 09:07:41] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Honestly, I have no idea. Been busy either sleeping or scouting a new location to move into.
[05.05.2022 09:08:15] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've had enough of Kepler.
[05.05.2022 09:08:25] '\S/'Pyxis: Are we allowed to go check on them? I was scanned as clean. I'm too new a recruit.
[05.05.2022 09:08:53] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I got no issue with it. Just don't do what I did and live there.
[05.05.2022 09:09:15] '\S/'Pyxis: It'd be nice to not have to sleep in the cockpit for once.
[05.05.2022 09:09:43] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The Freeport in Omega-3 has beds saved for us. Much comfier than on home base.
[05.05.2022 09:10:26] NHI-T>YeDonkey: oy der maties
[05.05.2022 09:10:26] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hey, Bounty Hunter, keep those guns cold, would ya?
[05.05.2022 09:11:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: *sighs*
[05.05.2022 09:12:02] '\S/'Pyxis: I have never met a Bounty Hunter who wasn't trigger happy.
[05.05.2022 09:12:56] Sammy.Nagata: Well this turned out to be a bit more painful than it was meant.
[05.05.2022 09:14:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So, Muliah. What's your story?
[05.05.2022 09:14:45] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: Oy there Pyke, I see you got me hanbdled already
[05.05.2022 09:15:09] NHI-M>Rosa.Pyke: Always ahaed of the curve, colleague.
[05.05.2022 09:15:25] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: Teamwork for victory, innit?
[05.05.2022 09:15:36] '\S/'Pyxis: I was unemployed and nearly homeless after I was shot down flying a corporate freighter. Starfliers picked me up.
[05.05.2022 09:16:55] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: Ok, this is my first time on this trip, which way are we going?
[05.05.2022 09:17:19] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: We'll be headin' ta Omicrons
[05.05.2022 09:17:28] '\S/'Pyxis: Yeah, but HOW?
[05.05.2022 09:17:56] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: We can go through Virginia, use the super gate. Not the most legit way, y'know
[05.05.2022 09:21:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Got shot down... now you're a Starflier? Okay then.
[05.05.2022 09:21:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Leon is hiring anyone it seems.
[05.05.2022 09:22:19] '\S/'Pyxis: I was supposed to fly the transports. Then they were retired.
[TEXAS]
[05.05.2022 09:24:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Raise a hand if you've ever been to the Omicrons.
[05.05.2022 09:24:32] '\S/'Pyxis: ...
[05.05.2022 09:26:06] Schnellboot-151: I've been to the Omicrons before for a Bounty Target
[05.05.2022 09:26:50] Schnellboot-151: Well, it involves capturing scumbags
[05.05.2022 09:27:42] Schnellboot-151: I'm especially embarrassed that Core in bed with those smelly Outcasts
[05.05.2022 09:29:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Huh... I love being asked to fly some ridiculous distance away.
[05.05.2022 09:29:27] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: Wow... I've never been here.
[05.05.2022 09:29:37] Schnellboot-151: And we shouldn't be in here
[05.05.2022 09:29:41] Schnellboot-151: But its a nice shortcut
[05.05.2022 09:29:46] '\S/'Pyxis: "Restricted"...
[05.05.2022 09:29:56] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: That's why I have this *chuckles*
[05.05.2022 09:30:14] Sammy.Nagata: Well you know how they say the forbidden fruit tastes the best
[05.05.2022 09:30:23] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: These restrictions mean nothing. I used this gate hundreds of times and there's never any cops around
[05.05.2022 09:30:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Speaking of... I gotta use it. I'll... be right back.
[Halbert Leaves the Convoy]
[05.05.2022 09:30:26] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: Now THAT is a big... Umm... Gate?
[05.05.2022 09:30:32] Schnellboot-151: Its okay, restricted just means you pay LPI a couple of million and they leave you alone.
[05.05.2022 09:30:41] Sammy.Nagata: Damn it reminds me of my old landlord big and wide.
[05.05.2022 09:30:42] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: Pretty much
[05.05.2022 09:31:07] '\S/'Pyxis: It accepts normal docking codes... Interesting.
[OMICRON NU]
[05.05.2022 09:32:52] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: This system is fascinating. I've never seen scenery like this before.
[05.05.2022 09:33:08] Schnellboot-151: Blame those accursed aliens.
[05.05.2022 09:33:12] Sammy.Nagata: It looks like holidays light all over again
[05.05.2022 09:33:26] '\S/'Pyxis: Aliens?
[05.05.2022 09:33:44] Sammy.Nagata: purple jelly lookin things?
[05.05.2022 09:33:44] Schnellboot-151: You'll see them in Delta.
[05.05.2022 09:33:56] '\S/'Pyxis: Is that those "Nomads" I've heard of?
[05.05.2022 09:35:24] '\S/'Pyxis: There's a base over there. Anything good? I can't check the Starflier charts while the base is locked down.
[05.05.2022 09:35:36] Schnellboot-151: Its just a pitstop

[05.05.2022 09:38:03] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: This is a contrast...
[05.05.2022 09:38:10] '\S/'Pyxis: Wait... What's that!?
[05.05.2022 09:38:17] Schnellboot-151: And there's your Alien
[05.05.2022 09:38:30] Sammy.Nagata: yup shields are tough
[05.05.2022 09:38:55] Sammy.Nagata: goddamn jellys, make my skin crawl
[05.05.2022 09:38:56] Schnellboot-151: Alright, time to get going.
[05.05.2022 09:39:24] '\S/'Pyxis: I scanned it. It didn't shoot me. I think it's scared of you all.
[05.05.2022 09:39:36] Sammy.Nagata: it has brain probably
[05.05.2022 09:39:48] Schnellboot-151: Its nothing but a baby at its size.
[05.05.2022 09:39:57] Schnellboot-151: Still dangerous if you aren't careful.
[05.05.2022 09:40:16] Sammy.Nagata: nope, not my cup of tea. The further away from me the better
[05.05.2022 09:40:28] Schnellboot-151: The real danger is when they get to gunboat size and up
[05.05.2022 09:40:35] '\S/'Pyxis: It's kinda graceful, do they talk?
[05.05.2022 09:40:48] Schnellboot-151: I've only read about the ones that are Battleship sized and up.
[05.05.2022 09:41:04] Schnellboot-151: I've never encountered a talking one.
[05.05.2022 09:41:15] Schnellboot-151: But I've heard things from Zoners at Freeport 11.
[05.05.2022 09:41:17] '\S/'Pyxis: I see more of them...
[OMICRON DELTA]
[05.05.2022 09:43:16] '\S/'Pyxis: Why is there so much contrast between all the systems out here? They are just so different from each other.
[05.05.2022 09:43:31] Sammy.Nagata: God had a drunk day maybe.
[05.05.2022 09:43:32] Schnellboot-151: Omicrons are interesting.
[05.05.2022 09:44:35] '\S/'Pyxis: Muliah: We go from beautiful, to a big green asteroid cloud, to purple aliens to dark and dim.
[05.05.2022 09:44:44] NHI-M>Mikkei.Combine: Rush: Greetings everyone
[05.05.2022 09:44:57] NHI-T>YeDonkey: Jimmy: Howdy
