Bonjour, fellow pilots.
The morning in New London appeared to be rather peaceful compared to yesterday, so i took some freedom on exploring the surrounding space. Upon undocking, i have headed through the trade lane to discover the Jump Gates that led me to Dublin system and, after some time of flying around the place - an anomaly have been discovered.
It brought me to previously uncharted part of space, where i have encountered quite a spectacular view.
A warship, previously unseen, along with it's escort, introducing themselves as the Coalition.
According to their wording - they hold a major grudge towards the Gauls, and have a proposition of cooperation for us.
[25.11.2018 08:10:02] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: ah, Border Control Service. Nice to see you again
[25.11.2018 08:10:20] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: Zdravia zhelayu, Comrade Belov
[25.11.2018 08:10:25] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Now that is quite a big vessel.
[25.11.2018 08:10:39] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: a gallic vessel, here?
[25.11.2018 08:10:41] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: This is an Honor to meet you
[25.11.2018 08:10:42] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: The transponders, however, return no recorded signal.
[25.11.2018 08:10:52] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: you are quite far from home
[25.11.2018 08:11:14] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Quite close to punching Gauls, that is enough, if you ask me.
[25.11.2018 08:11:37] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Or... for punching, i am not rather certain on how this is pronounced in Sirian.
[25.11.2018 08:11:49] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: i believe, we witnessed the IFF identical to yours yesterday in Leeds
[25.11.2018 08:11:57] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: your comrades fought bravely
[25.11.2018 08:12:14] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: but you are not the part of the Council
[25.11.2018 08:12:29] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: or are you?
[25.11.2018 08:12:33] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: We once were a part of it. We are Maquis.
[25.11.2018 08:12:58] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Let's say... we are a more radical part of it, that turned into a split cell one day.
[25.11.2018 08:13:13] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: is that so? We encountered your kind during our expeditions into deep Taus
[25.11.2018 08:13:46] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: if you seek to overthrow the Gallic Monarchy, we might have a proposal for you
[25.11.2018 08:14:13] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Indeed, we do. I personally have a dream of gut punching Charles, but that's another story...
[25.11.2018 08:14:18] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: the Coalition, which we represent, are also "radicals" in general perception
[25.11.2018 08:14:19] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: I am all ears, monsieur.
[25.11.2018 08:14:28] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: just left-inclined
[25.11.2018 08:14:46] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: I assume, forming a formal relations of amity can benefit us both
[25.11.2018 08:15:06] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Coalition specialises in rapid guerrilla strikes in the back lines.
[25.11.2018 08:15:22] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: with the support of the Maquis, we can bleed the Gauls back home while they fight here
[25.11.2018 08:15:49] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: perhaps, the friendship with the Maquis will even develop into something more in the future
[25.11.2018 08:15:59] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: That's pretty much what we're aiming for. Their supply lines are already long and complicated enough to operate.
[25.11.2018 08:16:09] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: You may strike them wherever you please.
[25.11.2018 08:16:11] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we have a loophole, comrade
[25.11.2018 08:16:42] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: a recently discovered jump hole allows to strike the very heart of Gallia
[25.11.2018 08:16:44] --Tiberius--: hello
[25.11.2018 08:16:52] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: greetings, Freelancer
[25.11.2018 08:16:56] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: I suggest you relay your proposition to our leadership, i suppose they'll be open for that kind of cooperation.
[25.11.2018 08:16:56] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: Dobry den'
[25.11.2018 08:17:13] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: can you provide us with the proper diplomatic channel?
[25.11.2018 08:17:26] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: I assume formalisation of the relations can benefit us both
[25.11.2018 08:17:52] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: I will properly establish such channel once i am back to our current base of operations.
[25.11.2018 08:18:17] Death: Ayanami suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[25.11.2018 08:18:17] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: understood. We cannot ask of more, monsenior
[25.11.2018 08:18:46] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: I must correct you there. You are speaking to a fine Gallic lady.
[25.11.2018 08:18:53] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: I wonder what is the Maquis fighting for. What kind of government do you want to establish?
[25.11.2018 08:18:54] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: But worry not, no offence taken.
[25.11.2018 08:19:23] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: unfortunately, I speak poorly in Gaulic, madmuasele. I specialise in Kusarian
[25.11.2018 08:19:33] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: my sincere apologies
[25.11.2018 08:19:47] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: As most of us are former Council operatives, and Council seeks to establish a Republic... i assume you see the connection.
[25.11.2018 08:19:50] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: TSB - take care of those pesky corsairs
[25.11.2018 08:20:07] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: the Republics can be different
[25.11.2018 08:20:15] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: but nonetheless commendable
[25.11.2018 08:20:24] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: they relay the will of the People
[25.11.2018 08:20:40] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: good work, comrade
[25.11.2018 08:21:00] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: in the Coalition we have People's Republic
[25.11.2018 08:21:03] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Council itself is what relaying the will of our people. Those who are not afraid of Charles' and hit patsies.
[25.11.2018 08:21:21] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Don't get me wrong - i am not really keen on politics.
[25.11.2018 08:21:25] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: then perhaps, we are ideologically more close than you think
[25.11.2018 08:21:37] Tip: Armor Upgrades are permanent items which, when mounted, multiply your ship's base hitpoints. It is an essential item on any ship.
[25.11.2018 08:21:39] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: I would like to give you this brochure
[25.11.2018 08:21:50] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: it explains everything better
[25.11.2018 08:22:18] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: I will make sure to study it thoroughly, and to make sure it reaches my higher-ups.
[25.11.2018 08:22:26] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: these principles are the ultimate victory for the People
[25.11.2018 08:22:40] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: free education, free medicare, no predatory corporations
[25.11.2018 08:23:14] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Coalition adheres vehemently to those principles, securing welfare for our People
[25.11.2018 08:23:33] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we would be more than happy to assist liberating Gallia from the tyrant-king
[25.11.2018 08:24:00] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Megacorps, you say... a modern plague, indeed. Should one get inclined to the ill-gotten money - there is no redemption for him
[25.11.2018 08:24:17] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: there are no coporations in the Coalition
[25.11.2018 08:24:26] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we are free from their ill-influence
[25.11.2018 08:24:47] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: if we take Gallia, those corporations fund the means of the oppression of the People
[25.11.2018 08:24:57] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: this needs to be stopped
[25.11.2018 08:25:00] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: That's no big surprise. I suppose your political system is... was it Communism?...
[25.11.2018 08:25:16] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: you can call it so, although communism is hardly feasible
[25.11.2018 08:25:28] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: for now it is "a developed socialism"
[25.11.2018 08:25:50] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: but we are working hard to secure the abundance of everything neeeded for everyone
[25.11.2018 08:25:59] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: So, communism is somewhat a perfect form, a conclusion of efforts.
[25.11.2018 08:26:00] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: this is where cyber-communism comes to play
[25.11.2018 08:26:23] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: communism is surely devoid of the drawbacks existing in the current capitalistic Houses
[25.11.2018 08:26:48] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Liberty divided by separatists, Kusari torn by a civil war, Rheinland succumbing to internal strife
[25.11.2018 08:27:03] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Gallia - well, you know better than me what is going on there
[25.11.2018 08:27:13] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Pretty much.
[25.11.2018 08:27:33] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: and Bretonia, that in the view of Gallic invasion still seeks to annex neighbouring territories
[25.11.2018 08:27:50] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: to take poor Mollys - before their uprising the lifespan of a miner was 6 years
[25.11.2018 08:28:16] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: truly, Bretonian corporations with the allowance of the Queen were massacring en mass their own people
[25.11.2018 08:28:36] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: this needs to be stopped. Coalition has nothing of it, so we propose our model to everyone
[25.11.2018 08:29:02] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we are developing thousands of machines to take care of every need of our People
[25.11.2018 08:29:20] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Bretonia should be able to deal with their internal strives on their own. If the Mollys instilled an uprising - that means-
[25.11.2018 08:29:20] Death: Tokitsu suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[25.11.2018 08:29:20] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we provide the population with food and other commodities alsmost for free
[25.11.2018 08:29:25] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: -their cause is not lost yet.
[25.11.2018 08:29:41] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Mollys have our support. Bretonia remembers that.
[25.11.2018 08:29:57] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Mollys just want their autonomy to be able to tace care of their own lives
[25.11.2018 08:30:13] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: without big wigs telling them what to do and how long to live
[25.11.2018 08:30:29] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Well, have to acknowledge - there we are on a bit of different sides, but that's just lyrics, our interests will merely be-
[25.11.2018 08:30:32] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: -crossing there.
[25.11.2018 08:30:54] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: We are out there to fight the Gauls, and plan our strikes to hinder their supply lines.
[25.11.2018 08:31:03] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: definitely, we will discuss it with our and your leadership. For now, we have a war to focus on
[25.11.2018 08:31:18] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Exactly.
[25.11.2018 08:31:29] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Glad to see we have the understanding on the matter.
[25.11.2018 08:31:30] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: and remember - deep inside Rheinland there is a loophole to the "backdoors of the King"
[25.11.2018 08:31:52] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: with your support on the other side, our combined forces can strike hard
[25.11.2018 08:32:46] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: The Council will not be exactly happy about that, but, i guess, we will figure something out.
[25.11.2018 08:33:07] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: the Council are friends of ours. I believe, they wil lsupport it
[25.11.2018 08:33:17] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: where we win, Council also wins
[25.11.2018 08:33:22] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: A small rapid-response snubcraft wing tasked with striking Gauls' vital spots won't hurt, i believe.
[25.11.2018 08:33:50] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: Will TSB be able to organise a strike squadron, comrade?
[25.11.2018 08:34:01] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: As i have mentioned before - they are quite selfish when it comes to fighting Gauls inside Gallia.
[25.11.2018 08:34:15] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: They believe it's their duty, and theirs only.
[25.11.2018 08:34:26] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?:I am only the Soldier
[25.11.2018 08:34:41] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: truly, you are. I will speak with your leadership then
[25.11.2018 08:34:50] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: Ask my commander, Doctor Belov.
[25.11.2018 08:35:30] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: I believe we outstayed our welcome. Time to get back to New Moscow
[25.11.2018 08:35:30] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: But I am sure, we can strike Gallic squadrons
[25.11.2018 08:35:47] TSB|[SO]-Charlie-4: ?: Roger that
[25.11.2018 08:35:49] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: adios, mademuaselle
[25.11.2018 08:35:57] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Farewell, and let us hope for a fruitful cooperation in the future.
[25.11.2018 08:36:12] SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk: Dr.Belov: we share this hope of yours.
I will leave this opportunity to your judgement. While we could appreciate any assistance on hindering Gallic supply lines - we should also keep in mind the opinion of our current allies on the matter.
As the flight progressed, and i have turned back to New London - i have got in touch with a person whose vessel have been returning Bretonia Intelligence Service transponders and introduced himself as Hamish Alexander Foch. Discussing the reason of our presence thoroughly - we have came to a conclusion of necessity of formalizing the relations.
[25.11.2018 09:08:10] [SIS]-Saturn: Is there are particular reason as to why the Marquis are here?
[25.11.2018 09:08:20] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: There is.
[25.11.2018 09:08:27] [SIS]-Saturn: That being?
[25.11.2018 09:08:33] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: It is pretty much the same reason why all the warships are here.
[25.11.2018 09:08:38] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Gauls.
[25.11.2018 09:08:57] [SIS]-Saturn: And you were granted permission to enter Bretonia when?
[25.11.2018 09:09:22] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: This was the actual reason for our arrival.
[25.11.2018 09:09:28] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: To... formalise our presence.
[25.11.2018 09:09:52] [SIS]-Saturn: I see.
[25.11.2018 09:10:00] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: This, however, will be discussed by my leadership with the Admiralty Board.
[25.11.2018 09:10:26] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Until then i assume you won't be kicking a potential ally out of the war zone?
[25.11.2018 09:10:27] [SIS]-Saturn: The Admiralty won't have anything to do with you my dear.
[25.11.2018 09:10:58] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: With me? No, they probably won't. I am just a soldier. A diplomat, sometimes.
[25.11.2018 09:11:15] [SIS]-Saturn: Your organisation in general.
[25.11.2018 09:11:36] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: And what's the reason for this?
[25.11.2018 09:11:54] 2018-11-25 09:11:54 SMT Traffic control alert: The.Worker has requested to dock
[25.11.2018 09:12:01] [SIS]-Saturn: You are french and the Admirals do not deal with diplomacy
[25.11.2018 09:12:26] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Just that sole fact that "we are french" doesn't put us on the same side with those french out there.
[25.11.2018 09:12:39] [SIS]-Saturn: They don't distinguish
[25.11.2018 09:13:00] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Yet, i still assume someone competent will have something to do with our organisation.
[25.11.2018 09:13:24] 2018-11-25 09:13:25 SMT Traffic control alert: [WSC]-Exodus has requested to dock
[25.11.2018 09:13:39] [SIS]-Saturn: Yes
[25.11.2018 09:13:41] [SIS]-Saturn: Me.
[25.11.2018 09:13:48] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: You?
[25.11.2018 09:14:00] [SIS]-Saturn: You won't find anyone else
[25.11.2018 09:14:08] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Then, to start with - identify yourself.
[25.11.2018 09:14:08] 2018-11-25 09:14:09 SMT Traffic control alert: [WSC]-Exodus has requested to dock
[25.11.2018 09:15:07] [SIS]-Saturn: Hamish Alexander Foch.
[25.11.2018 09:15:28] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Annabelle du Palais of the Maquis - at your service.
[25.11.2018 09:15:44] [SIS]-Saturn: Nice to meet you
[25.11.2018 09:15:55] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: The pleasure is mine, monsieur.
[25.11.2018 09:16:02] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: How may i assist you on this quite morning?
[25.11.2018 09:16:11] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Quiet, even.
[25.11.2018 09:16:29] [SIS]-Saturn: The question is how I can help you
[25.11.2018 09:17:08] 2018-11-25 09:17:09 SMT Traffic control alert: [WSC]-Lt.Elvis.W has requested to dock
[25.11.2018 09:17:14] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Provide us with tactical information on local Gallic operations for us to plan proper countermeasures.
[25.11.2018 09:17:37] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: We might be a formidable force in combat, but our real strength is guerilla warfare.
[25.11.2018 09:18:00] [SIS]-Saturn: We can do that. Please send a letter to us, or me, and we will see what we can do. If your intention is to open diplomacy...
[25.11.2018 09:18:11] [SIS]-Saturn: then we can certainly arrange this.
[25.11.2018 09:18:19] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: This is our intention, indeed.
[25.11.2018 09:18:25] [SIS]-Saturn: Very good.
[25.11.2018 09:19:13] [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais: Expect a word from me soon.
[25.11.2018 09:19:14] 2018-11-25 09:19:15 SMT Traffic control alert: [SIS]-Saturn has requested to dock
[25.11.2018 09:19:18] [SIS]-Saturn: Yes ma'm
[25.11.2018 09:19:22] 2018-11-25 09:19:22 SMT Traffic control alert: [MQS]Anabelle.du.Palais has requested to dock
That would be all for now. Transmission terminée...
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
