Buongiorno mia familia
: ::we will not be able to resist them::
: ::we have to relocate::
Those were the words of a visitor, the one I have never seen before. As he said, humans call him " Minerva " . When I was about to leave Alpha and head to Liberty to deliver some Cardamine, that one appeared. He said that he has a " peaceful task ". As I have never seen his kind let alone in Alpha I was eager to listen to him, felt I had to .... that I should. He was talking about " warmachines " getting closer and closer each day. Those warmachies are The Core, I think we know who they are and what they are capable of.
Later, Inquisitor Erika of the Crimson Cross joined us and our conversation. It appears that Inquisitor Erika had contact with " Minerva " of as they call themselves <PRIME> . It seems that Omicron Beta caught Primes's eyes. Inquisitor Erika received a blueprint of a Prime's Thruster. We might get our hands on that one, if Inquisitor decides to share the document with us.
-/ You can find the recorded conversation down there, the password to that document is: br45553 \-
After that I was on my way to Liberty to deliver a full cargo of Cardamine. It seemed that I fell a sleep while flying in Omicron-80, it usually don't happen to me, but....
Anyway, upon entering Tau 23 and getting closer to Cali base, someone contacted me in secure comms. It was Inquisitor Erika. She demanded to follow her and be quiet, because she was about to reveal something very important to me which was a top secret. It was about one base in Ta^ %^$ system.Somewhere near ##^%$ (coordinates unavailable). I agreed to supply the base, we are also able to dock there. Inquisitor Erika sad that SPS) callsigned ship(s) are not to be engaged as they are friends. That base sells Black Market munitions shipped from either Liberty or Rheinland, it does not matter.

Minerva <PRIME>Minerva.: ::[humans] call us [artificial or mechanic intelligence] (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Never heard of you. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: You come here in peace, si? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::This is not surprising [outcast] we have not discovered [sirius] actively yet:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: I have a feeling that you are far from home... Minerva, si? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::our first visit in this system had happened some time ago:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: For what purpose? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::We are seeking understanding, assistance and a new shelter:: (@)-ET-Virgo: *starts scanning it's ship* <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we know about the [outcast] culture:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: I am sure you do, Minerva. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Now, why would you look for "shelter" as you say? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we were thrown into a chaotic system:: <PRIME>Minerva.: ::the environment around our current position is filled with chaos and threats:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: And your current position is? (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: I guess Omicrons? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::affirmative:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Where exactly, if I may ask, Minerva? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::We are located in far unknown surrounding system of [omicron delta]:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Delta *starts repeating* (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Ugh, that is "far" . <PRIME>Minerva.: ::it is, but it gets closer day by day. there [human] warmachine spreads:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: "warmachine", what are you....? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::denial:: <PRIME>Minerva.: ::the warmachine is [the core]:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: *sighs* <PRIME>Minerva.: ::it is just about time [the core] will also arrive your shelter:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: I can assure you, if they choose to do so, they will face something they have never faced before. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Therefore, we will be ready. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: but... (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Why would they come here, Minerva? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::are you willing to let a potential risk open?:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Of course not. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we do not actually know the exact reason, but the most logic reason is force-addiction:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: What are you suggesting? (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: You said you have a "peaceful task" , si? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::exterminate the threat before it will spread:: <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we know that your culture depends this planet, this element in your cargohold to survive:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: That is correct (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Extermination, as you say, is not going to be easy. <PRIME>Minerva. ::exact it is not easy:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Do you have any more suggestions, Minerva? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::but it will be even harder to adapt your biology for another home:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Everything is possible, Minerva. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Oh good, you're back. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Inquisitor, buongiorno. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::Hello [crimson cross]:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Ciao. Now, Minerva, was our Neural-Net link down or something? (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: I see you know Minerva, don't you Inquisitor? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Sisi. We've had words with the AI's kind before. It seems they seek friends. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::the distances between our homeworlds are to far for a an immediate transmission:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar:Erika: you'd do well to treat them with the respect of a partner to Malta in future. Capiche? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: and fair enough then. To what do we owe the pleasure "Minerva" (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: As I was doing the whole time, Inqusitor. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: We had words about.... "The Core" |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Good to hear. I would expect nothing less, but it’s always best to assume other than one’s own assumptions. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we have calibrated a massive gravity anomaly in our homesystem in exactly 3 weeks in your timeset:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Yes the Blood Hunters have made themselves apparently quite the pain in the Southern Omicrons. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we are aware our closest threat [the core] is planning an invasion:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: *sighs* |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Ooooof course they do. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we will not be able to resist them:: <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we have to relocate:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: ....Relocate? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: and where are you planning to "relocate" to <PRIME>Minerva.: ::[humans] call it emergency escape:: <PRIME>Minerva.: ::we have located a [prime] module right in a system nearby from [omicron beta]:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Specifically... where |+|-MNS-Naxxar: out of mere curiosity: who is? (@)-ET-Virgo: u dun wanna know <PRIME>Minerva. ::This system is not documented in [human] databanks:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: ... I'm not quite happy about being told we're suddenly becoming neighbors with a entity we barely know. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: this kind of thing the Junkers or Chryshantemums could get away with. Our friendship is new Prime (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Fresh indeed. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::of course complete knowledge exchange is advised:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: That includes, examination of your ships? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Telling us is one thing, asking is another. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: I'm not so sure the Council would be so keen on giving territory so easily without some benefit of our own from it. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::It is nor telling, it is cognition:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Malta's children suffer enough already, we needn't add to the list of problems. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Also, how do we know that you and your kind won't .... stab us in our backs? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::you are seeking for a benefit?:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Si |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: ... I don't recall authorizing that <PRIME>Minerva.: ::take this as a present of trust:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: ...an explanation wouldn't go amiss amigo (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Now, Minerva, what do you have to offer us for even considering letting you be our "neighbours" ? <PRIME>Minerva.: ::this is a basic blueprint for an alternative, far more advanced engine technology:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: ... is this the promise of future exchanges or simply this alone you believe will suffice? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: I'm not the council, but something tells me they would be less than thrilled truth be told. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::to understand us, our motivation, a volunteer of trust is required:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Malta's children aren't known for being the most trusting of peoples--- |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: But we will discuss it. Nothing need be decided now.
SkiniestTree: Greetings <PRIME>Minerva.: ::discuss the matter internally::
SkiniestTree: I am requesting permision to land on Malta (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Inquisitor, I expect from you to share those blueprinst with Roses as soon as you examine them. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Ciao rogues. And you're cleared, Malta welcomes our Libertonian cousins.
SkiniestTree: Thank you |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: You would do well to remember your place Rose. We share that which we desire with our friends. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: to "expect" is to overstep your bounds. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: pardon the egotistical narccicistic character~ (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Pardon my language, I clearly did not used word well (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: What I ment was, we would be glad if you could share the knowledge with us. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Indeed. I may even have a project already underway that could... benefit from this. (@)-ET-Virgo:She's an Inquisitor after all (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Now, where were we? |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: As I said, we will discuss your "people's" future near Malta, Minerva. But I will admit, it makes for an.. interesting |+|-MNS-Naxxar: case. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::Take your time, it is advised to find a volunteer in your high ranks for a complete knowledge exchange:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: We'll be in touch with you, Minerva. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::affirmative:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: As will we. Pardon me now, I'm needed aboard Valetta and the Naxxar is due for final inspection. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: I do however wish to thank you, Minerva for respecting our wishes regarding your "cruiser" class vessel. <PRIME>Minerva. ::I request a temporary docking permission on your shipyard for the open time:: |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Docking bay D-24 will accept a vessel of your type. You'll pardon the firewalls to our internal networks however. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: A mere security precaution. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: *smiles* |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: Regardless, dock in your own time, I bid you both well and safe travel in the Light. |+|-MNS-Naxxar: Erika: All hands, thruster burn for Valetta. (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Inquisitor, Minerva, good bye. <PRIME>Minerva.: ::firewalls:: (@)-ET-Virgo: Antonio: Liberty, here I come.
