Hello OSI Board of Directors. Pilot David Starr reporting:
After my Whale was finally delivered, I took it for a ride to Gallia and back. Quite a while on the road. When I was back at Gran Canaria I heard news of an open firefight on Omicron 74. You all know what I'm talking about. Then I received a comm from Director VonCloud stating all security pilots should report at Livadia Shipyards for defense purposes. So I prep'd my Osprey and departed.
Next morning, the Order was barricading the ZA station near the Kappa jump hole. Then I received word that a Zoner Alliance ship appeared around Livadia wanting to negotiate a cease-fire. So I launched.
In space I found a great number of ships, from fighters to battleships, from the Order, Phoenix and several others. They all surrounded the ZA gunboat. After some conversation, in which VonCloud tried to convince the ZA pilot to try to get sense from his group mates, but with no success, he asked the pilot to get away from Livadia to avoid any hostilities around the station.
When the ZA ship was 10K away, Admiral Golanski appeared on the scene. Then I had the honor to witness the Admiral's amazing negotiation skills:
After that, it was open war. Three ZA Nephlims appeared in sequence. One after the other, the Falcon, the Drummer and the Hydra were destroyed by the combined forces leaded by the Order. I had nothing to do but watch.
After that, dialog was opened again. The Alliance agreed to deactivate and dismantle its defense turrets near the jumpholes. Later that day I went to check that. The Kappa jumphole platforms were removed, the station set to neutral defensive mode. On the Theta jumphole all was set to neutral also, but the weapons platforms were still there.
This morning all was calm when I got out for a little patrol of the system to see if the cease-fire was really in place. Then I saw this interesting moment: a [XXL] marked Barge (don't know from what group is that tag) called Flying Barrel was delivering a full load of water supplies to the ZA station. May not mean anything, but I would keep an eye open to see what's really going on with those guys.
