Incoming transmission
Atka Research Station, Sigma-17
Sender: Jera, Wisp Innovations Recipient: Wisp Innovations Communications Centre Subject: What a day.
Greetings,
I launched from Atka earlier today and went around for a patrol through Kusari. I contacted a KNF officer that was engaged by GC outside Shinagawa Station in New Tokyo and along with Bennet rushed to help him. We managed to successfully fend off the assault, but my ship was heavily damaged and had to be serviced on Shinagawa.
After that was done, I had a meeting scheduled with an Order gentleman going by Axisdeus (all the relevant NN links are attached). Before that though, going through the nebula in Sigma-13 I found several freelancers with whom I had a short chat. At least one of them - the most interesting one for me, cause she carried Cardamine - was an ex-criminal (I would suppose GC) that decided to return back to the proper, socially-acceptable life. How noble. She even played along and received a bit of Stabiline samples in exchange for the Cardamine.
Later, I managed to talk to that Order gentleman. He said he talked to another Cryer group and a fellow by the name of Bob Clamor in regards to some alien organisms. I don't exactly know what they would be, but I suppose our research division would be interested. In the meantime a GMG transport was sniffing around Atka, I stopped him and questioned.
The meeting was disturbed by a group of Chrysanthemums that engaged just under Atka. The Order ran away, while I managed to take down two of their ships, before I had to eject myself. Fortunately some Corsairs found my escape pod and took it to Lagos and from there to Atka.
[W]-''Jera'': "Hello."
Flora: Good day.
Flora: Well, there is a Green Party in bretonian parliment.
[W]-''Jera'': "So what did I just find here?"
Flora: But we aren't technically working together.
Red.like.Roses: At least a try from the gaian party.
Flora: Just the same goal.
[W]-''Jera'': *clears throat*
Hana.Ken: Ah, I see. I think I'll visit these people at some point. *looks at Jera* Kon'nichiwa...
Flora: Okay.
[W]-''Jera'': "You have some rather disturbing stuff on your ship, Hana."
[W]-''Jera'': "Mind explaining how that orange dream got in there?"
Hana.Ken: The bare minimum to survive... Jera-san.
[W]-''Jera'': "Bare minimum is none."
Flora: Uhm.
Hana.Ken: None would kill me now, wouldn't it. *frowns*
Flora: Do you even know how Cardamine works?
[W]-''Jera'': "Stabiline exists for the people that got enough sense to try and stop the addiction."
Red.like.Roses: The problem is, you are still addicted even with stabiline.
Flora: it's like you'd try to stop your "addiction" to oxygen, eh.
Red.like.Roses: And cardamine is less expensive as stabiline for those who need it.
Hana.Ken: Funny you offer it... I cant seem to be able to purchase it from anywhere - so... you're trying to make a Catch-22, hai?
[W]-''Jera'': "Most lawful stations sell it. Including Atka, which is only a few clicks and one jumphole away."
Hana.Ken: They do indeed. They tend to shoot me, sadly. Makes purchasing it a little difficult at the moment.
[W]-''Jera'': "What a goddamn shame."
Hana.Ken: Quite. *raises an eyebrow*
[W]-''Jera'': "I somehow refuse to believe that a criminal who suddenly has a change of heart-
[W]-''Jera'': -can't find a way to return to a normal, socially acceptable lifestyle."
Flora: It's quite hard sometimes.
[W]-''Jera'': "Unless they don't try hard enough."
Red.like.Roses: That depends on the people too.
Hana.Ken: Give an ex-criminal a break, hai? *chuckles slightly* A couple of days is not a long time to rebuild a life.
[W]-''Jera'': *raises an eyebrow* "Obviously."
[W]-''Jera'': "But you will have to drop that Cardamine, like it or not."
Flora: Do you fly around and ask people to drop their oxygen tanks either?
Hana.Ken: If you replace it with a little stabaline to make sure I don't die... sure.
Red.like.Roses: *Giggles*
[W]-''Jera'': "You can come to Atka with me to ensure that."
Red.like.Roses: Now that sounds like a fair offer.
Flora: Sounds like a trap to me.
Red.like.Roses: Well, no risk, no fu.
Hana.Ken: *scratches her neck* Indeed it does. Agreed... and no surprise ambush or funny business, hai?
Red.like.Roses: *fun
Flora: Her call.
[W]-''Jera'': "Well, you don't have a guarantee."
[W]-''Jera'': "But it is better for you."
Flora: See?
Red.like.Roses: Don't worry Hana-san. I own a whole planet with that stuff. *smugs*
[W]-''Jera'': "So what's it gonna be, hm?"
Hana.Ken: In our business, there never is... *sighs* Very well. Let's try this Stabaline of yours.
[W]-''Jera'': "Very well. Follow me."
Flora: This is going to end up badly...
Red.like.Roses: Hm.
Hana.Ken: Must say... you are surprisingly proactive for a Cryer employee
[W]-''Jera'': "Elaborate?"
Hana.Ken: I do not think I've been approached as you did... almost like a patrol *chuckles slightly*
[W]-''Jera'': "I get paid for that."
Red.like.Roses: Oh well, that is the usual way of a worker.
Hana.Ken: *bows her head deeply* I appreciate this. Arigato.
[W]-''Jera'': *she nods* "Well."
[W]-''Jera'': "It should last you for a while. In the meantime, you should figure out a way to stop the lawfuls from hating you."
Hana.Ken: Agreed. *sighs* Turns out harder than I thought, but given time... *nods*
Red.like.Roses: A good start afterall.
Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[W]-''Jera'': *clears throat* "Seems I have a meeting underway..."
Red.like.Roses: Kon'nichiwa Order!
[W]-''Jera'': "Good day."
[W]-''Jera'': "Are you the man identifying himself as Axisdeus?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: *looks over to the group and wonders if now is a good time* Hello...
Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow* If, ur.... *scratches her neck* May I contact you for Stabline supply in case things... go south?
Red.like.Roses: Don't be so shy. *smugs slightly*
[W]-''Jera'': "I think so, yes."
[W]-''Jera'': "Though, mind you, I'm not always here."
[W]-''Jera'': "I'm a busy woman."
Hana.Ken: Understandable. We'll leave you to it *bows her head*
[W]-''Jera'': *she nods* "Good."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: *receives the call and adds* I might be...who's asking?
[W]-''Jera'': "I think that's all the time I can devote to you, good bye."
[W]-''Jera'': "My name is Jera. I responded to your transmission."
[W]-''Jera'': "You said you have a business proposition of some description."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: In that case, I am Axisdeus. Good to see you.
[W]-''Jera'': "I am eager to hear it."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might. I had a most pleasent pre-deal talk iwht a certain Bob Clamor...he said he was a high ranking in your ranks.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Seems I might have been mislead...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anyways, I am here to talk the deal not what has been, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "I am not quite sure who you speak of."
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, that might have been someone from Cryer, we have little dealings with them apart from being able to rent a third-
[W]-''Jera'': -of Atka."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: *scratches his head* Well, what has been has been. Now matters what can be...
[W]-''Jera'': "Well. I'm listening."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: So, are you into research like your 'unknown' buddy I've talked to a while back?
[W]-''Jera'': "We are, indeed, focused on researching new pharmaceuticals."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And I guess you could use research materials, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "Naturally."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Your buddy there told me of how valuable Alien Organisms can be...
[W]-''Jera'': "They are indeed."
[W]-''Jera'': "Though, they aren't really used for research."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might have a whoel filed of them, untapped yet...fresh...unspoiled...
[W]-''Jera'': "Cryer in the past studied quite extensively one particular branch of alien bacteria...
[W]-''Jera'': The name escapes me, but it's one of the key ingredients of Stabiline."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I see...so you used them for soemthing at least, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "We did and we continue to do so, yes."
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, the organisms you have may not be the same as the ones we've already researched..."
[W]-''Jera'': "Hold on a second."
[W]-''Jera'': "GMG, what are you doing here?"
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: That's strange. Why would you question the GMGs presense in the Sigmas?
[W]-''Jera'': "I am questioning your presence at Atka."
[W]-''Jera'': "You have to excuse me, that's my job."
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: Samura doesn't like us poking around here much, so I came here to see if there were any cryer reps who could...better our...
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: ...relations
[W]-''Jera'': "Our relations will not be any better until GMG stops tolerating or even endorsing GC presence in the Sigmas."
[W]-''Jera'': "Now, I suggest you get out of here."
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: Do not misinterpret my actions as compliance, Cryer agent. I simply have better work elsewhere.
[W]-''Jera'': "I don't really care."
[W]-''Jera'': "Anyway."
[W]-''Jera'': "As I said, the organisms you have might be the same or might be completely different than the ones we already know."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I understand the organisms we have might not be what you;ve already studied
[W]-''Jera'': "Exactly."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: But may as well be those, or others or many more...
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, they might be something we /have/ studied and proven to be worthless."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: So, the bottom line question is...are you willing to put some effort into finding out?
[W]-''Jera'': "Surely."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: You must know I got no way to figure that for myself.
[W]-''Jera'': "We will see if these are something we already know, and if they aren't, well look into how they could be used."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: All I have is a whole space filled with that slimy stuff that cloggs our exhausts...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And your buddy told me they might be quite usefull.
[W]-''Jera'': "Slimey?"
[W]-''Jera'': "Are you 100% sure we're on the same page here?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Aren't we.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might be wrong...
[W]-''Jera'': "Well, the alien organisms we've researched are bacteria, as they are the only lifeform that can be alive in space."
[W]-''Jera'': "Apart from the Nomads... of course."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anyways...I have a whole 'field' of those.
[W]-''Jera'': "'Slime' doesn't exactly sound like anything that could be alive.
[W]-''Jera'': *sighs*
