Surely, my state of mind is as clouded as ever. Pay no mind to that, however. I apologize for the delay. I wished to relay this message to you quicker, but, there's a reason why that didn't happen.
I didn't want to come empty handed. Allow me to add a summary of my "findings" to this message.
Narrative 1#
During a regular visit to the Tau regions, I have spotted a rather interesting sight. Sadly, the conversation was resembling gibberish on his side, so I'd rather not include that, to prevent unnecessary headaches. Additional scan of the vessel can be found here. As much as I could make out from his.... "speech", I managed to at least have a guess at his motives. Shooting Cardamine transports are one. Luckily, the pilot isn't exactly adept in gunboat piloting. Still, the sheer power of the vessel can be troublesome. He did try to shoot at me, with the least possible success.
Narrative 2#
The second encounter happened a few days ago, on my way back, in the Coronado system. Just in case the guncams wouldn't be enough to determine the location. I had encountered this vessel about a year ago, while it was still flying under the colors of the 5th fleet. Things have changed apparently. Find the logs included below. My trash-talking could have revealed some important information.
Detailed scans on the vessel: 1#2#3#4#
Due to a guncam malfunction, the last picture was lost. It featured the scan of the vessel's armor, which was the highest grade capital armor.
[11.02.2016 21:47:47] Dorian.Ravenfell: Borrowed... why would you steal a Dreadnought?
[11.02.2016 21:47:59] The.Cincinnati: Mav: To be fair, he didn't steal it.
[11.02.2016 21:48:01] The.Cincinnati: Mav: I did.
[11.02.2016 21:48:01] Dorian.Ravenfell: Ahh... let me resupply. Be right back.

[11.02.2016 21:48:41] Kurumi.Saeki: That's a... familiar vessel.
[11.02.2016 21:48:49] Hornet-1: ?: Oh, hello, Hacker.
[11.02.2016 21:49:08] Kurumi.Saeki: I think I had the luck to shoot this Overlord class... about a year ago.
[11.02.2016 21:49:17] Hornet-1: ?: Probably.
[11.02.2016 21:49:18] The.Cincinnati: Mav: May have.
[11.02.2016 21:49:37] I-I-I-I: Greetings

[11.02.2016 21:50:22] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well, If you can't tell, I guess we have.
[11.02.2016 21:50:30] The.Cincinnati: Mav: You know, being out of Liberty and all.
[11.02.2016 21:50:38] The.Cincinnati rolled 5 / 6
[11.02.2016 21:50:55] Kurumi.Saeki: I can't blame you for that, to be honest with you.
[11.02.2016 21:50:59] Death: Severe.Cry was put out of action by Assailant. (Gun).
[11.02.2016 21:51:17] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: All of us on the nasty 'nati agreed to leave with the Captain and the ship.
[11.02.2016 21:51:36] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Since then, we've left and seen the Omicrons, Tau's, Omegas...
[11.02.2016 21:51:50] Kurumi.Saeki: How did you put it back then... Oh right. "I'm not like the others." And muttering about your age, and experience.
[11.02.2016 21:51:53] Death: The.Princess.of.Dublin was put out of action by SCRA|Genrich.Blazkov; (Gun).

[11.02.2016 21:52:45] Kurumi.Saeki: At least now, I feel less of an urge to murder you.
[11.02.2016 21:53:00] Kurumi.Saeki: Not like I had much at first, to begin with.
[11.02.2016 21:53:08] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Weren't you the one who sat on the prow of the ship?
[11.02.2016 21:53:09] The.Artemis: ?: your in a fighter.
[11.02.2016 21:53:23] 2016-02-11 20:53:28 SMT Traffic control alert: Eagle_John has requested to dock
[11.02.2016 21:53:23] Kurumi.Saeki: I guess I was.
[11.02.2016 21:53:36] The.Cincinnati: Mav: in some gunboat.
[11.02.2016 21:53:49] Kurumi.Saeki: That's your luck. Me not being on board of any of you vessels.
[11.02.2016 21:54:01] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by BAF|Cdr.Nicole.Brennan (Gun).
[11.02.2016 21:54:11] Kurumi.Saeki: And hai, you are correct with that one Mav.
[11.02.2016 21:54:14] Death: Omicron_ was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2016 21:54:42] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[11.02.2016 21:54:48] Kurumi.Saeki: Well, times change.
[11.02.2016 21:54:58] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Sure do. Look at you now. Look at us.
[11.02.2016 21:55:09] The.Cincinnati: Stevens: Wait, that was the Gunboat?!
[11.02.2016 21:55:13] The.Cincinnati: Mav: It was.
[11.02.2016 21:55:23] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by BAF|Cdr.Nicole.Brennan (Gun).
[11.02.2016 21:55:26] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Ain't that something? *chuckles*
[11.02.2016 21:55:26] Dorian.Ravenfell: What's with the Hacker?
[11.02.2016 21:55:34] Kurumi.Saeki: It seems I have left a memory in some of you.
[11.02.2016 21:55:48] Dorian.Ravenfell: I remember you not.
[11.02.2016 21:55:57] Death: Mcfish was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2016 21:55:59] The.Cincinnati: Mav: In us at least.
[11.02.2016 21:56:01] Dorian.Ravenfell: Should I?
[11.02.2016 21:56:09] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Probably not.
[11.02.2016 21:56:46] The.Artemis: ?: hello Outcast
[11.02.2016 21:56:47] Kurumi.Saeki: You hold no importance in my eyes, dear Dorian. Even if we have met before.... it's unlikely that I'd remeber you.
[11.02.2016 21:57:13] The.Cincinnati: Mav: The hunderd'n'first still lives.
[11.02.2016 21:57:14] Diego.Malasorte[101st]: I am no outcast, I am Maltese!
[11.02.2016 21:57:17] Death: Omicron_ was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2016 21:57:18] Dorian.Ravenfell: Haha... I'm quite certain if we'd ever met, you'd remember me till the day you die or beyond that as well.
[11.02.2016 21:57:30] The.Artemis: ?: same thing right?
[11.02.2016 21:57:44] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Depends on how you phrase "outcast".
[11.02.2016 21:57:57] The.Cincinnati: Mav: We're outcasts. Just on outcasts.
[11.02.2016 21:57:57] Hornet-1: Hunt: It's not anymore.
[11.02.2016 21:58:07] Kurumi.Saeki: *She chuckles lightly* I tend to remember people with such an attitude of themselves.
[11.02.2016 21:58:08] Hornet-1: Hunt: 'Cause there's the Maltesian exiles.
[11.02.2016 21:58:21] Hornet-1: Hunt: You know, Outcasts that are Outcasted.
[11.02.2016 21:58:30] The.Artemis: ?: *he laughs*
[11.02.2016 21:58:51] The.Cincinnati: Mav: *snarks*
[11.02.2016 21:58:57] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: What?
[11.02.2016 21:59:02] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Outcasted outcasts.
[11.02.2016 21:59:11] Kurumi.Saeki: Oh. I've met one of those recently.
[11.02.2016 21:59:13] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Ironic isn't it?
[11.02.2016 21:59:28] Kurumi.Saeki: Strange kind, surely.
[11.02.2016 21:59:30] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by Assailant. (Gun).
[11.02.2016 21:59:33] The.Cincinnati: Mav: If we're outcasted Navy, does that make us Hellfire? *chuckles*
[11.02.2016 22:00:00] Death: BAF|Cdr.Nicole.Brennan was put out of action by Severe.Cry (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:00:37] Kurumi.Saeki: So, what have you been up to, with that vessel of yours, Mav?
[11.02.2016 22:00:45] Hornet-1: ?: Classified.
[11.02.2016 22:00:54] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Nah, not that classified.
[11.02.2016 22:01:02] Kurumi.Saeki: Oh-how-mysterious.
[11.02.2016 22:01:02] Hornet-1: ?: Yeah...
[11.02.2016 22:01:03] The.Cincinnati: Mav: We've been seeing the sights.
[11.02.2016 22:01:13] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Branching out. Keeping off radar.
[11.02.2016 22:01:14] Hornet-1: ?: It's actually not classified at all.
[11.02.2016 22:01:39] Kurumi.Saeki: That's a fine excuse, surely.
[11.02.2016 22:01:58] Kurumi.Saeki: Flying here and there, searching for allies, if I'd have to guess.
[11.02.2016 22:02:24] The.Cincinnati: Mav: well.
[11.02.2016 22:02:29] The.Cincinnati: Mav: To a point.
[11.02.2016 22:02:40] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Seems people leave us alone. Which is a plus.
[11.02.2016 22:02:52] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by [HF]-Redeemer (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:03:47] Kurumi.Saeki: I could guess how one gets that itch on the trigger finger, upon seeing this vessel.
[11.02.2016 22:04:16] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Contrary, only one opposed us.
[11.02.2016 22:04:19] The.Cincinnati: Mav: So far that is.
[11.02.2016 22:04:29] Death: Escort-Guardian suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).
[11.02.2016 22:04:37] Kurumi.Saeki: The entire navy, for example. And who knows how far they'll reach to get back a vessel as that.
[11.02.2016 22:04:43] The.Cincinnati: Mav: The brotherhood in Omega-9.
[11.02.2016 22:04:45] Hornet-1: ?: Not far enough.
[11.02.2016 22:04:49] The.Cincinnati: Mav: The Navy, not so much.
[11.02.2016 22:04:54] The.Cincinnati: Mav: seems they really don't care.
[11.02.2016 22:05:00] Hornet-1: ?: Takes a single file to get them off our backs. That's in Fieldson's hands right now.
[11.02.2016 22:05:04] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Except O'neil.
[11.02.2016 22:05:17] The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Who needs to go.
[11.02.2016 22:05:23] Kurumi.Saeki: Oh well. If you move a little bit far enough, their tunnel vision kicks in.
[11.02.2016 22:05:23] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Oh, right. Him.
[11.02.2016 22:05:44] Hornet-1: ?: Speaking of.
[11.02.2016 22:05:53] Hornet-1: ?: Ivan, probe the other side of the jumphole.
[11.02.2016 22:06:28] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by [HF]-Redeemer (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:06:29] Death: [HF]-Redeemer was put out of action by Escort-Guardian (Mine).
[11.02.2016 22:06:34] Kurumi.Saeki: It was... interesting to see you again.
[11.02.2016 22:06:46] Kurumi.Saeki: Who knows. We might meet again in the near future.
[11.02.2016 22:06:46] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Aye, back at you.
[11.02.2016 22:06:55] Death: Severe.Cry was put out of action by Assailant. (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:06:59] [/_\]Minerva: ::So much travellers.::
[11.02.2016 22:07:00] Kurumi.Saeki: Let's hope it won't be at gunpoint.
[11.02.2016 22:07:15] The.Cincinnati: Mav: We have no reason to shoot at you.
[11.02.2016 22:07:19] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Not anymore.
[11.02.2016 22:07:22] 2016-02-11 21:07:27 SMT : Hornet-1 is attempting to engage cloaking device
[11.02.2016 22:07:34] Kurumi.Saeki: Oh. I don't have one either. Still. I shoot with little to no reasons.
[11.02.2016 22:07:39] Kurumi.Saeki: For my own enjoyment.
[11.02.2016 22:07:49] Kurumi.Saeki: But, let that not be the case, next time.
[11.02.2016 22:07:55] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Here's hoping.
[11.02.2016 22:08:12] Kurumi.Saeki: Otherwise, I'll be taking a few of your crew.
[11.02.2016 22:08:24] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Don't.
[11.02.2016 22:08:28] The.Cincinnati: Mav: threaten.
[11.02.2016 22:08:31] The.Cincinnati: Mav: My family.
[11.02.2016 22:08:35] Death: Escort-Guardian was put out of action by Assailant. (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:08:44] Kurumi.Saeki: Was not even close to a threat.
[11.02.2016 22:08:49] 2016-02-11 21:08:54 SMT Traffic control alert: Cartesian has requested to dock
[11.02.2016 22:08:49] Cartesian: Greetings
[11.02.2016 22:09:00] Kurumi.Saeki: If I start to describe what I'd do to them. Now that would be a threat.
[11.02.2016 22:09:08] Death: [RHA]Fimbulwinter was put out of action by [HF]-Redeemer (Gun).
[11.02.2016 22:09:19] 2016-02-11 21:09:24 SMT Traffic control alert: Diego.Malasorte[101st] has requested to dock
[11.02.2016 22:09:26] The.Cincinnati: Mav: *snarks* My family stays with me and the ship. Let that be know, hacker.
[11.02.2016 22:09:32] Death: Bowex)Brett.Harper was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2016 22:09:41] Dorian.Ravenfell: That's enough of adventures for today. I'll be returning to Bretonia. I've got some errands to run there.
[11.02.2016 22:09:45] Dorian.Ravenfell: We'll be in touch...
[11.02.2016 22:09:49] The.Cincinnati: Mav: You've been fine with me so far. But the second you start talking about my crew, you start ruffling feathers.
[11.02.2016 22:10:22] Kurumi.Saeki: It was easy to see.
[11.02.2016 22:10:40] Kurumi.Saeki: Don't expose your weakness so easily. Take that as... a friendly advice.
[11.02.2016 22:10:40] Death: Mcfish was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2016 22:10:49] Kurumi.Saeki: Until next time.
[11.02.2016 22:10:54] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Indeed.
[11.02.2016 22:10:58] Kurumi.Saeki: Sayonara.
Sadly, I'll have to refuse your kind invitation to the inner circle. I prefer my current stance, as it is. If you'd wish to make my life easier slightly, I have an idea for that. I do not wish to contaminate this channel further with my reports. Should you find a method that is preferable by your group, contact me.
