I am making a report for myself and several other pilots on recent happenings in Gallia and the surrounding space.
First, to business! Our friends in the Independent Miner's Guild had put out a request for supplies for one of their bases, a Freeport 4 in the Magellan system. As some items were quite simple to obtain within our borders, I made it my business to assist with their business. It was quite profitable over all, and I expect a healthy bonus on top of the delivery price as well! You can view my submitted manifests as attached below.
Having returned to Gallia, I decided to take my Courier freighter for a spin through the systems, with a stop to make sure that it had the top of the line weaponry installed as well. I was wandering around the Maine system when I ran across an unusual sight; Zoners! Not only that, but as I got closer, I saw that they had a warship with them! Can you imagine? These Phoenix Zoners appear to have a restricted cargo export license, but I don't think they have a license to import that kind of vessel! Anyway, I quickly discussed the matter with them and escorted their Destroyer vessel out of Gallia, making sure that they understood not to bring such a vessel to our home again, and noting that we of the Unione Corse are able to maintain a secret if need be. Attached records are below.
It seems that these Phoenix Zoners intend long term trade within Gallia as well. The last captain of the Calvi reported contact and conversation with them as well. His records are below. Some items to note are their relations to the Outcasts, or sniffers, the price of what this Phoenix Zoner brought in, and his mentioning of the work of a company called Cryer.
Code:
[26.10.2013 07:00:42] [UC]-Calvi: Salut.
[26.10.2013 07:01:33] [UC]-Calvi: Welcome to Gallia, monsieurs.
[26.10.2013 07:02:11] [UC]-Calvi: Where are you off to today?
[26.10.2013 07:03:26] [UC]-Calvi: Bonsoir?
[26.10.2013 07:03:48] (\^/)Eros: Greetings
[26.10.2013 07:03:56] [UC]-Calvi: Ah ha!
[26.10.2013 07:04:34] [UC]-Calvi: What brings you to Gallia, monsieurs?
[26.10.2013 07:05:06] [UC]-Calvi: Erm, let me ask again. What brings you to Gallia, monsieurs?
[26.10.2013 07:05:56] (\^/)Eros: taking these materials to the Shipyard in Maine
[26.10.2013 07:06:04] [UC]-Calvi: Ah!
[26.10.2013 07:06:23] [UC]-Calvi: I know you Phoenix have permission here.
[26.10.2013 07:06:41] [UC]-Calvi: I do not know about this other one, though.
[26.10.2013 07:07:34] (\^/)Eros: this pilot is accompaning me on this mission
[26.10.2013 07:07:46] (\^/)Eros: he is an ally to our family
[26.10.2013 07:08:33] [UC]-Calvi: Well, we Corse can be discrete, non?
[26.10.2013 07:08:53] (\^/)Eros: oui monsiuer
[26.10.2013 07:08:55] [UC]-Calvi: It would be best if he join your family were he to return, monsieur.
[26.10.2013 07:09:04] (\^/)Eros: oui!!!
[26.10.2013 07:09:15] (\^/)Eros: i agree!
[26.10.2013 07:09:36] [UC]-Calvi: Shall we continue on? Perhaps you can tell me of what you do outside of here.
[26.10.2013 07:09:59] (\^/)Eros: lets be on our way then
[26.10.2013 07:11:54] (\^/)Eros: Phoenix is always looking to build a safe home for our family in the Omicrons, as a result of the harsh conditions of the edge
[26.10.2013 07:12:06] (\^/)Eros: worlds we are always looking to expand our family
[26.10.2013 07:12:18] [UC]-Calvi: Ah. I don't know of these Omicrons.
[26.10.2013 07:12:25] (\^/)Eros: hence the company of this fellow Zoner pilot
[26.10.2013 07:12:25] [UC]-Calvi: Where are they?
[26.10.2013 07:12:51] [UC]-Calvi: Like Omicron Alpha? The home of the sniffers?
[26.10.2013 07:12:51] (\^/)Eros: omicrons are star systems far beyond the Gallic horizon
[26.10.2013 07:13:08] [UC]-Calvi: I think left, monsieur.
[26.10.2013 07:13:13] [UC]-Calvi: Not right.
[26.10.2013 07:13:28] [UC]-Calvi: If you want Maine, that is.
[26.10.2013 07:13:46] [UC]-Calvi: As you were saying and all.
[26.10.2013 07:13:50] (\^/)Eros: further then Omicron Alpha.
[26.10.2013 07:14:02] [UC]-Calvi: Do you deal with the sniffer scum at all?
[26.10.2013 07:15:00] [UC]-Calvi: We of the Unione Corse despise the sniffers a great deal.
[26.10.2013 07:15:45] [UC]-Calvi: I'm sorry if you said something, I'm afraid I may have missed it.
[26.10.2013 07:17:58] [UC]-Calvi: Your home is wild, you said?
[26.10.2013 07:18:29] (\^/)Eros: i perfer the term barren myself
[26.10.2013 07:18:39] [UC]-Calvi: And the sniffers. They bother you too?
[26.10.2013 07:18:44] (\^/)Eros: a harsh enviroment
[26.10.2013 07:19:10] (\^/)Eros: no they are quite friendly with us ZOners
[26.10.2013 07:19:39] [UC]-Calvi: *raises an eyebrow*
[26.10.2013 07:19:52] [UC]-Calvi: Friendly, you say? How can this be?
[26.10.2013 07:21:05] Traffic control alert: Allelujah.Haptism has requested to dock
[26.10.2013 07:21:37] (\^/)Eros: i suppose as both of our peoples live in such a harsh area we have enough trouble without having to worry about each other
[26.10.2013 07:22:15] [UC]-Calvi: Huh.
[26.10.2013 07:22:29] [UC]-Calvi: Do they pass off that vile weed in your space as well?
[26.10.2013 07:23:53] [UC]-Calvi: I cannot think of a more vile narcotic than Cardimine.
[26.10.2013 07:24:34] Traffic control alert: (\^/)Eros has requested to dock
[26.10.2013 07:24:37] [UC]-Calvi: By the way, how much does this "iridium" go for here?
[26.10.2013 07:24:42] (\^/)Eros: The Cryer Scientists have made a drug to combat the addiction of cardamine
[26.10.2013 07:24:50] (\^/)Eros: its called stabaline
[26.10.2013 07:24:59] [UC]-Calvi: Cryer? A counter drug?
[26.10.2013 07:25:05] (\^/)Eros: 5728 per unit
[26.10.2013 07:25:06] Traffic control alert: Allelujah.Haptism has requested to dock
[26.10.2013 07:25:08] [UC]-Calvi: We shall have to investigate this.
[26.10.2013 07:25:13] [UC]-Calvi: Mon dieu!
[26.10.2013 07:25:17] [UC]-Calvi: Such a price!
[26.10.2013 07:25:24] Traffic control alert: (\^/)Eros has requested to dock
[26.10.2013 07:27:03] [UC]-Calvi: Where does one obtain this Iridium?
[26.10.2013 07:27:50] (\^/)Eros: A freeport on the edge of the universe in Omicron delta
[26.10.2013 07:28:12] [UC]-Calvi: Is it far from here then?
[26.10.2013 07:28:38] (\^/)Eros: one could say that its not close hehe
[26.10.2013 07:29:07] [UC]-Calvi: We Corse are business men at heart.
[26.10.2013 07:29:18] [UC]-Calvi: If there is opportunity for profit, we are interested.
[26.10.2013 07:29:50] [UC]-Calvi: Though if it takes you as long as you say to get here, perhaps it's not worth our time to go there.
[26.10.2013 07:30:01] [UC]-Calvi: We shall have to investigate this more.
[26.10.2013 07:30:28] (\^/)Eros: i emplore you to sir, exlporation is the heart of being a Phoenix
[26.10.2013 07:30:55] [UC]-Calvi: And business is at the heart of being a Corse.
[26.10.2013 07:31:26] (\^/)Eros: i must be on my way monsiuer
[26.10.2013 07:31:27] [UC]-Calvi: Among other things.
[26.10.2013 07:31:36] [UC]-Calvi: Oui. Where is your associate?
[26.10.2013 07:31:55] [UC]-Calvi: It would be best to see you both out.
[26.10.2013 07:32:39] (\^/)Eros: probably at the bar i would guess. i know the way back we will be fine. another phoenix is coming too.
[26.10.2013 07:34:12] [UC]-Calvi: Hmm?
[26.10.2013 07:34:46] [UC]-Calvi: Yes, well, keep safe.
[26.10.2013 07:35:29] (\^/)Eros: likewise monsiuer
And last but not least, especially given our interests, one of our pilots took up the Le Tonnerre in response to reports of a group called the Mollies, a Bretonian revolutionary group if I'm not mistaken, flying through lower Gallia. His orders were to meet and greet these newcomers on behalf of the Unione Corse. What he ran into is quite appalling, however! His records are attached below.
