Assassin Three, patrol report.

I was on my regular duty around Pennsylvania system, checking for traffic and seeing if I could collect some funds for our organisation.

I decided to visit Kansas hole in same system, and perhaps see if there are any greedy miners. But, instead of miner, I caught a DSE) transport, hauling some food rations, oxygen and water. Probably for their base in Kansas, therefore I demanded all the cargo to be jettisoned, in order to destroy it.

After that, I headed to check out the hole. And there was again, same transport but this time, with the alloys in it's hold. Again, probably for their installation in Kansas and thus, I demanded the cargo to be jettisoned, in order so it could be destroyed.

While I was dealing with the transport, I noticed sneaky miner who tried to run away from Kansas. I went into pursue and eventually, as I managed to reach him, I ended up being fired and thus, the miner was terminated and the ore was destroyed.

I usually question myself, why do people think they are superior, just because they have larger vessel, and more funds. It does not end good for them anyway.

After I've dealt with the miner, I headed back to Kansas jump hole once again, to check in for the more. Same transport, once again and full with alloys. However, I am suspicious about them developing some special top grade technology, that makes them invulnerable to our cruise disruptors, and they even disappear as I followed them trough the hole. As I was standing by on the other side, and believed how they are already gone since nobody was in scanner range, they showed up all of sudden from the jump hole. Were they able to control the time of travelling on their own?

As soon as they jumped, they magically dissappeared at speed of light toward their base! I wasn't able to capture anything that would show us this technology so we could study it but, they've sent a Waran to stop me. Good, but not good enough for them.

After I've dealt with the Waran, I went to meet up with Honey Badger and proceed to patrol further. We went back into Pennsylvania and then we proceeded toward New York gate. While we were on cruise, Badger was contacted by individual identified as "Golden Knot". This one mentioned how he saved one of ours, Ossari and thus, we went to meet up with it in the badlands.

However, right as we met we spotted something unusual. A Raba, with Hogosha identifications. We proceeded to scan it, and see what is going on but the captain was very agressive and we found ourselves under fire. The vessel was terminated shortly after, and Badger took rest of the ale for himself. "Golden Knot" offered us aid against this captain but, I didn't want to accept it, before I hear your words, Overlord on this matter. The individual was equipped with standard Bounty Hunter gear, but it appeared to be cooperating with us, and mentioning "Them".

We after that proceeded onwards to the lanes leading to Texas gate, where we encountered Navy officer. I told Badger that I could handle it and he went to block the lanes. Officer was shot down shortly after.

After that, we decided to take a break and went to Buffalo. We didn't wanted to risk to see whole fleet of Navy and cops around us. I will attach the audio logs of that badlands mess so you could hear it by yourself. I will be awaiting your word on it, Overlord.

[13.04.2017 10:06:09] ''Gordian.Knot'': Hm hmm.
[13.04.2017 10:06:41] ''Gordian.Knot'': I've tried to talk with Nomak on Penny yesterday, but he ran off from the Navy, or something.
[13.04.2017 10:06:46] ''Gordian.Knot'': There were too many of them.
[13.04.2017 10:06:59] (C~Assassin.03: Overlord is popular these days.
[13.04.2017 10:07:21] ''Gordian.Knot'': Way too popular, to the point where Ossari nearly died.
[13.04.2017 10:07:45] ''Gordian.Knot'': I'm here for a reason.
[13.04.2017 10:07:59] (C~Assassin.03: Well, tell us the reason.
[13.04.2017 10:08:36] ''Gordian.Knot'': To warn you, a large coalition of lawful forces from the Border Worlds are planning to eradicate the Commune.
[13.04.2017 10:08:47] ''Gordian.Knot'': Just like the Auxesia forces.
[13.04.2017 10:09:02] (C~Assassin.03: And who would that be?
[13.04.2017 10:09:07] ''Gordian.Knot'': Whom?
[13.04.2017 10:09:16] (C~Assassin.03: Yes, whom.
[13.04.2017 10:09:22] ''Gordian.Knot'': I can't understand.
[13.04.2017 10:09:35] (C~Assassin.03: The coalition you mentioned.
[13.04.2017 10:09:42] ''Gordian.Knot'': It has no name.
[13.04.2017 10:09:52] (C~Assassin.03: Any known individuals?
[13.04.2017 10:09:57] ''Gordian.Knot'': Just a bunch of bold 'tards wanting your asses.
[13.04.2017 10:10:15] (C~Assassin.03: Well they need to have reason, don't they?
[13.04.2017 10:10:24] ''Gordian.Knot'': Check out the Bounty Board.
[13.04.2017 10:10:36] ''Gordian.Knot'': I've seen like, 3 bounties on Jared.
[13.04.2017 10:10:37] (C~Assassin.03: Which one? *he laughed*
[13.04.2017 10:10:50] ''Gordian.Knot'': I'm not looking forward to claim them.
[13.04.2017 10:11:04] (C~Assassin.03: Well, you could as well explain yourself.
[13.04.2017 10:11:11] (C~The-Honey.Badger: Do you know who placed da bounties?
[13.04.2017 10:11:16] (C~Assassin.03: Why would some hunter talk with us, instead of claiming the bounties.
[13.04.2017 10:11:17] ''Gordian.Knot'': Because you see, it would be foolish to hunt down their /allies/, don't you think?
[13.04.2017 10:11:27] (C~Assassin.03: Their?
[13.04.2017 10:11:30] (C~Assassin.03: Who are they?
[13.04.2017 10:11:52] ''Gordian.Knot'': Nevermind. Look, i'll just make it short.
[13.04.2017 10:11:57] (C~Assassin.03: You need to speak more. We do not have abilities to read your mind.
[13.04.2017 10:12:13] ''Gordian.Knot'': Count on my help. I know what's going on the ''Lawful side''.
[13.04.2017 10:12:25] (C~The-Honey.Badger: Eyyy dis is more Jackie's area
[13.04.2017 10:12:40] ''Gordian.Knot'': You shall hear me, in the future ahead.
[13.04.2017 10:12:51] (C~Assassin.03: *nods in approvement*
[13.04.2017 10:13:00] (C~The-Honey.Badger: Ey Gordian

[13.04.2017 10:13:34] ''Gordian.Knot'': Oh, and by the way.
[13.04.2017 10:13:53] ''Gordian.Knot'': There was some guy that you gave me for Ossari's location.
[13.04.2017 10:14:07] ''Gordian.Knot'': I can't find him, that is why I'm basically bothering you.
[13.04.2017 10:14:23] (C~Assassin.03: Well, what we could do about it?
[13.04.2017 10:14:39] (C~The-Honey.Badger: Ye can't find who now.... Ossari is it?
[13.04.2017 10:15:22] ''Gordian.Knot'': No. (Sighs) Look, I just wanted a payment for Ossari, but whatever. Guess I'll talk to Nomak, instead.
