Greetings, I am sorry for my absence, but I am
rather busy, at the moment.
*she seems to be stressed by something*
[font=Arial Black]Mr. Mikrosh, I am more than sure that you will be able to handle the operations on
your own for a while. I entrust OZ on your hands. I need to get low for some time.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't managed to draw any more credits for
your projects, the council is still debating and my accounts where compromised.
As for your personal ship, I have an old Corvo in one of my hangars. I will have it
sent to you asap. It needs some reparations though, it haven't been used for quite
a while, some cleaning won't hurt either...

I have to run now.
Stay strong!
Obsidian Zoetic my friends!

Libra out

Greetings Mikrosh

With the Council abandoning us I have taken
further measures to ensure our security Mikrosh

I see the repair of the Corvo goes well,
I believe our engineers may be able to
actually construct ships having seen their
handy work on this ship.

I will be setting our whales on delivering the
necessary things for building a facility capable
of constructing small escort ships and have
already contacted OSI in order to request
the designs for the Osprey Zoner heavy fighter.

As well as this however I fear we will need a
replacement for Prometheus as our Jump
Ship. We have already begun construction of
a Jump Drive Factory and with the surplus
supplies we had for building the weapon platforms
we have almost completed it already.

That is a further point I must raise...
Have our engineers still not discovered the cause
for the sudden changes to our Orbital Defence
platforms? And why is it that the blue prints for
the anti Capital and anti Escort weapon
platforms are missing?

This is most frustrating!

Finally, my meeting with Mr Daniels was a
failure, it seems he chose not to take my
invitation... However I have since contacted
Guildmaster DeVirgo of the BHG and hopefully
we may be able to come to a peaceful solution.

Greetings Mrs O'hanna.
The council news are quite troubling indeed.
We need to prepare for the worst. Without
them, we are quite exposed. Try and set
up the defenses as well as you can.

I've kept an eye on your attempt to make
peace with the Core. I can't pronounce
if I am glad that id didn't work out or if I am
sad. But, we will see how things will work out.


We shall build that hangar bay on Murillo as
soon as possible.


We shall maintain close communication until
we solve this mess up.

Greetings All

*The picture of Alan Captain appears on the screen
as Colin speaks.*



It is on a sombre note that this morning I must
declare our first loss to the BHG forces.

Alan Captain: Husband of a loving wife and
father of four boys, tragically lost his life
whilst carrying out his duty.

For those who did not know of his position in OZ:
he was the driving force of our small fleet of whales and
did a superb job of maintaining both their efficiency
and their moral through even the most difficult times.

On a personal level he was good company whilst in distance
systems and it was an honour working with him.

My prayers go out to his wife and children who
will need as much of our help as we can give
in their time of need.

Greetings Mikrosh

The attacks are continuing and we have currently
lost four whales to their barbarism.
Despite our Osprey repair facility being commissioned,
I have heard no news from the engineering department
since I last asked for a damn order for all parts to be
placed!

We have lost many of our bombers and fighters so far
to these attackers and I myself had to flee to SF with
the Prometheus the other evening.

This is getting serious now and I demand the resources
to defend our people! I have been speaking privately
with some of our engineers and they believe if we are
to acquire the blueprints to the Fearless they may be able
to build these cruisers by altering some of our older
whales. It may be a long shot but if we can do it then
a few cruisers to supplement our defences wouldn't go
amiss...

[Mikrosh]

Greetings Mrs O'hanna.
I am already searching for ways to acquire more credits for our cause.
Since the council left us, our treasury is running low. Soon we'll hit the
bottom of the chest if I won't manage to pull out some founds. Our trade
routes are also a bit altered by the Core blockade. I will trow a call for all
of our merchants to share anything they can spare with us.

We will find a way to pull it trough, we have to. There are countless lives
that depend on us. I will gather all the support I can in order to build a ship
factory on Murillo.


We will talk about this when I'll return from Gran Canaria.

Keep the people safe!

Dear all Obsidians,

It has been sometimes since Mikrosh left for
the Zoner Conference: I have yet to hear from
him any news of how it is going or when he
will be returning.

As you all know in his absence I have taken
his role in guiding our people as best I can
and I feel it my duty to inform you of some
of the changes I have implemented.

Firstly I have been changing the structure of
how OZ is managed in order to make our people
alot less dependent on a single leader. I did this by
diving our efforts into several separate departments
and still in the process of the Heads of these
Departments.

Secondly I am doing my best to gain stronger
ties with other groups of people, despite our will
to work alone and to solve our own problems I
feel we are still able to benefit from the help of others
and I will be doing my very best to build relations
in as many areas as I can.

Do not feel abandoned Obsidians, our leader
will return and I will do my best to maintain
and strengthen our people until he does so.

Greetings... well... Me I suppose.

*O'hanna appears on the holo-recorder, she has made no effort to clear her
desk or straighten her uniform for the recorded message.*

Again, my apologies for the lack of contact with you... me...
It has seemed pointless to make a log of my actions with no
one hear to read them but myself, my re-shuffle has not yet
gone through due to not having the time...

Currently Mr Shieldson, Mark, is heading most of the construction
and scientific projects whilst I focus entirely on relations and
security.

I am somewhat failing in my duties however as Chief of Security:
we had our first K'hara incursion into Omicron Zeta the other night
since our colonisation of the system... The Eudoxus was caught
unaware by a far superior cruiser and my pilot was unable to shake
them off due to their superior speed.

Our allies within the Order and 141 were able to dispatch the remaining
forces despite some losses themselves and luckily me and my crew
made it back to Star Fortress alive. The Eudoxus however had to be
brought back in pieces and must again be reconstructed by our staff
aboard SF... They ...I imagine will be quite sufficient in maintaining
and repairing it by now...

Perhaps when the Docking Ring Automation is fixed we can
focus on that project I proposed... Well, I suppose...

*She seems to be confused the fact she is in charge finally dawning on her*

When we finish the docking ring, we will be working
on converting some of our Whales to combat vessels in order to
make Zeta safer.

One of our Pilots... Miss Trill, Becky, had an encounter with
a group known as the Underloch whilst making the sample
delivery to Planetform the other day. A group of militant
environmentalists if I am to believe the stories from my
childhood...

I have contacted PFI and asked for any further information
on this group and will attempt to make contact with them
once I have a reply from them.

*She pauses, then sighs...*

What else... erm...

Oh, the meetings... With the Order and Pheonix.

It went well, the Admiral was obviously in a rush
and still doesn't exactly take us seriously, not exactly
made much better by the 141 Colonel showing up late.

Doesn't matter though, they have given us X shuttles
for exploration of Murilo's surface as well as this he has
deployed some of his marines to my staff. These will
be with us until he deems they are no longer required
and will be of great assistance to use exploring the
planets surface as well as teaching our population how
to survive as an inhabitant of an ice world.

In return they wished for us to supply a few things to
Akabat for them, the most intriguing being Fertilisers,
perhaps they may share their knowledge of growing
crops on an ice world if we ever attempt to do so.

Well... I suppose that is all.

Colin O'hanna

[Mikrosh]

*Mikrosh appears on the screen. He seems to be consumed by grief...*

Greatings, friends...

As you already know I've been quite inactive in the past few weeks... Unfortunately, I'm not coming back,
not yet at least. It saddens me to leave you, but I have no other option. Somehow I've been exposed to
some alien organisms and I have an unstable medical condition. Our medics have no idea if I'll live, die, or
turn in to a bloody alien... We don't even know if the "disease" is spreadable and if sow, how can it spread.
Therefore I have decide to enter a cryo state, with my son Mykonos, since we've both been exposed. We
will be on board of vessel somewhere in Zeta.

We don't know if we will be able to return. We don't know if we will be humans for much longer, therefore we
decide to keep a safe distance. Some of our trustworthy agents have been instructed to terminate our vessel
in case that we show any sign of alien manifestation.

It saddens me that I have to leave you... You've been my friends, my family, my home, we've passed trough
good times, trough sieges and wars... We stood together...

Still, you have no time to grief, you still have a lot to accomplish, you need to build up zeta, turn it in to a safe
haven, fulfill our dream! Good luck my friends! Stay strong!


*he takes a small pause*

Since you need a capable soul to watch over you, I will empower Mrs O'hanna to the rank of Overseer.
She is a capable woman, she will lead you well and she will finish what we've all started. I trust her and
so should all of you!

Mrs O'hanna, I thank you for all of your services! Take good care of our people!
I hope that I'll be able to return!

Farewell my friends!

...Mikrosh...

*She appears on the screen her uniform clean and straight,
her face showing great concern.
O'hanna had always made fun of Mikrosh for his tears,
his showing of weakness in front of others but now
her face glistened in the light.*

I did not believe you still checked this channel...
I... I am sorry to hear about your condition sir, I hope
you and Mykonos return to our people soon.

You are a good man.
Safe skies...

Colin
