Bonsoir, membres.

Just yesterday, a Curiassier Noir pilot and I went on a trip from the Taus through Outcast space to Lorraine. When we jumped into Berne (Omicron 80), the two of us realized that we happened to be following a Sirian Junker in a Pilgrim Liner towards Lorraine.

I managed to jump through in time to scan his cargo, and what, of all things was he carrying? Vile cardamine, that's what. I was unable to catch him, however, as his ship dived through the minefield int he direction of Luneville. I attempted to keep within sight of the Junker, but as I made my way around the twisted path in the mines, sensor contact with that vessel was lost. Furthermore, My wingman broke off to Thionville to replace a faulty piece of equipment.

Pursuing alone, I set course for the Burgundy jump point and sent out an alert to other Corsican pilots. When I jumped to Burgundy, the Junker remained out of sight, but two membres that responded to my call for assistance were soon on his tail. I do not know of the result of that encounter, however.

Instead, I proceeded back to Lorraine to dock at Thionville. After some quick repairs, I decided to sit guard by one of the various minefield entrances. To my luck, I suppose, a Junker Congress vessel jumped in a few minutes later. Entering the field, I disrupted his cruise engines and asked him to hold position so that I could scan his cargo. The scan revealed another load Cardamine amongst a few other materials. I asked that only the Cardamine be dropped, but the captain refused and taunted me in turn. Without too much hesitation, I opened fire. He attempted to shoot back, but instead he drove his Pilgrim Liner askew into the mines, where I unloaded my hellfire rockets and destroyed his ship.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
