Subject: 100% of the situation
I will try to be short and sweet.
I spoke with the harvesters about their intentions... For almost two hours... From what i hear, any zoner getting close to them for two seconds is attacked with intent to capture and mind probe, then mulch. They also do this to nomads i hear because their ships make for good bio material. Guess what? Guess what IFF i fly, guess what ports i call home, and guess what ship i was flying?
I was a harvester ham sammitch with some fracking golumpky on the side and i still tried to get some viable information out of them with risk of death, maiming, removal of freedom, violation of all that i call dear, and to top it all off lack of any of the answers to my own pitiful existence yet again.
Ok... sorry flying off the handle a bit... Its not your fault for anything past not opening a comm line to me. I mean i stayed in new Berlin until the harvesters were well into omicron theta, you could have just asked me about your concerns... Let alone try and find me and notice my lovely docking pass to the heaven that is called gran canaria. Sorry, getting mad again... Its childish i know... Cant help that much, body and all... You wouldn't know that either, and thats why its not your fault.
Let me fix that, so next time it will be.
Zoner people, My name is Alice Spire.
I have been working behind the scenes for months on preserving the zoner way in ways that zoners simply cannot. While my efforts continually are plagued by things i cannot control, they have been there and some key players know about them. I am a registered council member, though i have never made an appearance on anything other than the guest list, but perhaps some of you have met some of my associates. The Sweet Dreams cruiser, or the poor lost little thing called Fenris. There is also the soyokaze that continues to buy and trade zoner goods to support the maintained interest of mine in keeping things such as the "iron pants" wearing house police from jumping the gun on situations.
From investigating the ways that nomads work to attempts to divert attention to what really matters instead of stupid accidents i have done what one small thing can do to help. Now is time to do that again. While you all run around in the foreground trying to solve this in ways that work for you, i will maintain my method of trying to aid from the shadows. You wouldnt beleive most of my reasons for why i need to do things this way, so i wont try to explain them. Just dont judge me without knowing me, and if you do wish to get to know me just ask. I would be oh so happy to meet somewhere on a freeport to say hello in person.
Now onto the topic at hand. I am still beginning my research on what all i somehow missed while on planet gammu... yes gammu, don't ask how i didn't notice all of this start... I don't understand how i missed it either... anyways, i am starting my research on this current debacle with the harvesters. Until i get a firm grasp on all angels i wont be doing anything hasty. I wish to stop the harvest of zoners and grinding into mulch as much as all of you do, but i need first to ask a bunch of questions and get some form of an understanding with them in order to understand them at all.
I do hope to help the harvesters, but what was missed in that intent was the hope is to help them in understanding that what they are doing is oh so wrong, and that they need to stop. If recovering this alpha code will help, then thats what im going to go about. If it will only make things worse, then i will try to find a way to make it work without making things worse. What i will not be doing is lying to anyone about any of this, or any aspect of this. That seems to be one of the things these harvesters have taken hold of. Any form of deception is hostility, and well you get mulched...
Not exactly short, but i hope its sweet. If not, hugs and kisses from the sidelines.. Send me a commune sometime, i need to see a friendly face again.
Now onto what i should be relaying
1: Harvester conversation results.
You all may already know this, they want the alpha code! They also will stop the harvest if you give back the "Sunscorn Unit" or something or other, or allow a intel fusing with discordia. I was not able to get the confirmation that after the intel link they would release discordia, or was i able to get any information on would discordia be released after the alpha code was retrieved... Needless to say all of that sounds like a bad idea to just go with so i'll be trying to find either more information, or a better idea....
2: The keepers say hello...
I spoke with them for around an hour today as well... No more understanding came from it than normal, but i think i got my foot in the door for further conversation at least.. Did you all know that they know what dogs look like? I certainly didn't, and im kind of bummed that they do but.... either way im still glad that conversation happened. Ship status checked out too, all systems go for communications on literally all spectrums...
3: I left that burrito in the microwave.....
Its been like three weeks and im just now remembering... When i do get back to gammu that is going to stink something FIERCE...... Sooooo not important to you all, but if you had to clean it up it would be soooooo important....
4: And this one is important to me... Really important.
If any of you see a Zoner IFF bearing Viper with the name "Fenris" and no other colonial markings with the exception of maybe saying "Adriadic" on its hull, please tell the pilot that Alice is worried about him... I have not seen or heard from him since i asked him to keep an eye out for pirates preying on zoner traders, and im worried that he may have gone back to his attempts at getting recognition for what has happened to him... Long story, but please... If you see him, tell him im worried, and let me know if he is ok.
5: You didnt see me, hear from me, or in any way get this message... go back to pretending i dont exist.
Thats right, i still have people out to get me. Today the sequence of events just lead right up into a constant face full of bounty hunter, so.... yea. I'll be back in the shadows again... Alice out.
