Mr. Mortar,
We are impressed with your work.
Freeport 5 in a way is not in a very good position, and hopefully we manage to adjust it to our best possibilities.
Your project list and your necessities for the outpost therefore have been approved, effect immediate.
If you need anything else, we will aid in all ways possible.
On the other hand, and this interests you Mr. Mortar as well,
One of our pilots, apparently ended up in the Gallic Sector. At the moment he's scouting what he can, and gathering all the information possible,included, a "friend" of his apparently donated a vessel to the Genesis, and it'll be dropped off to Freeport 5.
Mr. Mortar, you can send the vessel to Ames, so we take care of it here.
He sent us the logs of his vessel.
[26.12.2019 15:20:48] Grandid_Holmes: Evening Crete, Im here under my own power today just trying to see why this area is such a hotspot.
[26.12.2019 15:21:39] GRG|Crete: ?:Indipendent Corsair? Uh that's a new one.
[26.12.2019 15:22:20] Grandid_Holmes: Seems my bretherns have made bad names for themselves with alot of good people. Im hoping to stay neutral.
[26.12.2019 15:22:44] Grandid_Holmes: And i must show my face to do so, and to show i have no malicous intents
[26.12.2019 15:23:14] GRG|Crete: ?:I really don't know how you are. But uh, your kind is very...let's call it impulsive.
[26.12.2019 15:23:56] Grandid_Holmes: Braindead as i call them, They react then wonder why they are floating in space. Lower intelligence is what i would consider.
[26.12.2019 15:24:40] GRG|Crete: ?:I didn't know Corsair received an eduction. After all...the rumors of what happens on Crete are spread everywhere.
[26.12.2019 15:25:26] Grandid_Holmes: I stay away from crete, Enclave have tutored me some so i work to improve my intelligence.
[26.12.2019 15:26:09] GRG|Crete: ?:Enclave. Another faction with more weapons that brain cells.
[26.12.2019 15:26:22] Grandid_Holmes: But they have a higher education than crete.
[26.12.2019 15:26:43] Grandid_Holmes: That planet is collapsing on its self.
[26.12.2019 15:26:44] GRG|Crete: ?:Well, to commit genocide is not that hard you know.
[26.12.2019 15:27:20] GRG|Crete: ?:I had a flashback when I saw what happened to Leeds.
[26.12.2019 15:27:47] Grandid_Holmes: Poor souls on that planet, One thing i can never discuss. never needed to happen
[26.12.2019 15:28:30] GRG|Crete: ?:Well it wasn't the first time to happen. And I think it won't be the last.
[26.12.2019 15:28:36] Grandid_Holmes: I hear the zoners have a research station in the omicrons. Do you believe they will accept me as a student?
[26.12.2019 15:28:58] GRG|Crete: ?:Specify of what.
[26.12.2019 15:29:17] Grandid_Holmes: As i do not originate from the corsairs yet a lone freelancer who ended up in this ship
[26.12.2019 15:29:36] Grandid_Holmes: Im looking to study anything.
[26.12.2019 15:29:41] GRG|Crete: ?:So a Freelancer in a Corsair ship.
[26.12.2019 15:29:56] GRG|Crete: ?:That's cute.
[26.12.2019 15:30:13] Grandid_Holmes: Indeed, but it seems my path has gone different then what i wanted
[26.12.2019 15:30:34] Grandid_Holmes: And leaving these creatures requires me to escape their grasp
[26.12.2019 15:30:40] GRG|Crete: ?:Well, why would we trust you in the first place?
[26.12.2019 15:30:55] GRG|Crete: ?:You claim to be somebody. But your ID says another thing.
[26.12.2019 15:31:17] Grandid_Holmes: Branded for life with that until i can get free of their grasp.
[26.12.2019 15:31:30] Grandid_Holmes: I wish to change.
[26.12.2019 15:32:05] GRG|Crete: ?epends in what way. We don't like Corsairs. We already have enough troubles on our head.
[26.12.2019 15:32:22] GRG|Crete: ?:Why would we trust somebody like you?
[26.12.2019 15:32:30] Grandid_Holmes: I plan on removing all corsair markings, i plan to become a man of intelligence
[26.12.2019 15:32:54] GRG|Crete: ?:And after that?
[26.12.2019 15:33:34] Grandid_Holmes: Hands are currently occupied this ship has been giving me troubles. Its not used to being run by a man with intelligence
[26.12.2019 15:33:51] GRG|Crete: ?:My question was another.
[26.12.2019 15:34:08] Grandid_Holmes: Here i will return clear of these markings if you will let me leave to brittany
[26.12.2019 15:34:35] GRG|Crete: ?:Brittany? What the hell is that now?
[26.12.2019 15:34:47] Grandid_Holmes: That is where my funds are settling currently
[26.12.2019 15:35:04] GRG|Crete: ?:Now, this is interesting.
[26.12.2019 15:35:11] Grandid_Holmes: i travel
[26.12.2019 15:35:17] Grandid_Holmes: If they accept me i go there
[26.12.2019 15:35:28] GRG|Crete: ?:Show me this Braitany or how the hell is called.
[26.12.2019 15:35:38] Grandid_Holmes: Sure follow me
[26.12.2019 15:36:57] GRG|Crete: ?:I'm picking up something...
[26.12.2019 15:37:11] Grandid_Holmes: The cruiser in inactive

[26.12.2019 15:37:35] GRG|Crete: ?:What cruiser?
[26.12.2019 15:38:00] Grandid_Holmes: This cruiser here is inactive almost like it was void of people
[26.12.2019 15:38:24] GRG|Crete: ?:Whose cruiser is this, if you know?
[26.12.2019 15:38:25] Grandid_Holmes: Would you like to continue with me or stay here?

[26.12.2019 16:02:16] GRG|Crete: ?:This is something worth studying.
[26.12.2019 16:03:04] GRG|Crete: ?:Let's see where the hell we are.
[26.12.2019 16:03:51] Grandid_Holmes: My ship is in need of repairs i hit a mine
