Wow, this one is even older. Early days after purchasing the Bustard. Met up with an Osiris-Class warship, Akhetaten, controlled by the Liberty Navy. They introduced themselves as Christopher Edwards, we had a nice chat. He got himself an accurate scan of the area around West Point, and this lead to me applying for a modular installation within Liberty Space. They declined. . .
Code:
[30.03.2021 12:41:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good day.
[30.03.2021 12:41:26] SR-45: Hail, Officer.
[30.03.2021 12:41:50] SR-45: I seem to have a bit of a problem. Eould you mind taking a gander?
[30.03.2021 12:41:53] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's not often I see a Bustard around here.
[30.03.2021 12:42:13] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: What may the problem be, Captain?
[30.03.2021 12:42:46] SR-45: My computer says a piece of my hull is out of place. It may be interfering with my Survey module.
[30.03.2021 12:43:12] SR-45: Care to scan and see if it's causing any trouble? I'm afraid it'll take me 10 minutes to run down to that deck myself.
[30.03.2021 12:43:20] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Our onboard scanners aren't detecting any abnormalities on the ship's hull.
[30.03.2021 12:43:43] SR-45: Seems my scans are faulty... strange.
[30.03.2021 12:44:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: The survey module aboard your vessel could be problematic.
[30.03.2021 12:44:17] SR-45: Can't have that happening. Trying to gather up-to-date info on certain areas.
[30.03.2021 12:44:35] SR-45: You won't mind if I try to use my equipment in Liberty?
[30.03.2021 12:45:19] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Jumpdrives and survey modules are not illegal in Liberty as long as you're not using them to help out our enemies.
[30.03.2021 12:45:33] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: And as long as you operate your jumpdrive away from high-traffic areas.
[30.03.2021 12:45:57] SR-45: Well, unlike you, my class of drive doesn't pull in material around me.
[30.03.2021 12:46:48] SR-45: So it'll be hard to pull in anyone else. Won't have to worry about that.
[30.03.2021 12:47:03] SR-45: I mean no offense, officer.
[30.03.2021 12:47:23] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: No offense taken, Captain. I hadn't viewed the size of your onboard jumpdrive.
[30.03.2021 12:47:36] SR-45: Greetings, Freelancer.
[30.03.2021 12:48:38] SR-45: I've gathered information from points all throughout Sirius.
[30.03.2021 12:48:51] SR-45: Would you like info on points of interest in Liberty space?
[30.03.2021 12:49:39] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I could be interested in receiving coordinates of points of interest around Liberty space indeed.
[30.03.2021 12:49:45] SR-45: Can I do something for you, Freelancer?
[30.03.2021 12:50:20] SR-45: I'm able to provide.
[30.03.2021 12:50:37] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I understand there's a price per pair of coordinates.
[30.03.2021 12:50:45] SR-45: I have to warn you, as my ship's core is only so powerful, so is the accuracy of my Survey Matrix.
[30.03.2021 12:50:59] SR-45: Ah, see I have something in mind for that.
[30.03.2021 12:51:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: The coordinates saved on the on-board computers are months if not years old.
[30.03.2021 12:51:46] SR-45: I travel all over Sirius to survey. My last scan was in the Omicrons. About three days ago.
[30.03.2021 12:52:28] SR-45: I'll get you a scan for no price, as a show of good faith. But I do have an inquiry.
[30.03.2021 12:52:46] SR-45: I'll give you more details when I return.
[30.03.2021 12:52:53] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I am only interested in coordinate scans of New York, so I won't burgain you with a lot of work.
[30.03.2021 12:53:18] SR-45: Not a problem. Where abouts within the system?
[30.03.2021 12:53:42] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Any lane intersection will do.
[30.03.2021 12:54:16] SR-45: Alright, officer.
[30.03.2021 12:54:25] SR-45: My computer says West Point is the best choice.
[30.03.2021 12:54:36] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Works for me, Captain.
[30.03.2021 12:54:43] SR-45: I'll be back in a couple hours.
[30.03.2021 12:54:53] SR-45: Where shall I find you?
[30.03.2021 12:55:16] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: If the Akhetaten isn't in space at the time feel free to send a communication my way.
[30.03.2021 12:55:27] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Commodore Christopher Edwards, Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet.
[30.03.2021 12:55:54] SR-45: Nice to meet you, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 12:55:58] SR-45: Name's Leon here.
[30.03.2021 12:56:12] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Pleasure's all mine, Leon.
[30.03.2021 12:56:24] SR-45: Godspeed.
[30.03.2021 12:56:48] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good day, Ageira vessel.
[30.03.2021 12:56:56] SR-45: Hail, Ageira.
[30.03.2021 13:01:09] SR-45: Good day, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 13:01:14] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Welcome back.
[30.03.2021 13:01:52] SR-45: West Point had a look at my problem. Seems that hull plating was causing my port engine to use more power.
[30.03.2021 13:02:11] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: So it was a hull plating issue?
[30.03.2021 13:02:36] SR-45: It was. They fixed it for a small fee.
[30.03.2021 13:02:57] SR-45: While I was over there, I did manage to get the scan done.
[30.03.2021 13:03:16] SR-45: The Cali and Penn gates were causing delays, but I got it in the end.
[30.03.2021 13:03:47] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good to know you got it handled.
[30.03.2021 13:03:57] SR-45: About my inquiry...
[30.03.2021 13:04:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Go ahead.
[30.03.2021 13:04:44] SR-45: Since I have many scans from multiple systems, I'm afraid of this ship getting stolen or destroyed.
[30.03.2021 13:05:06] SR-45: The prospect of losing all my work isn't a great thing to think about.
[30.03.2021 13:05:36] SR-45: I was going to ask permission to maybe have an installation built
[30.03.2021 13:05:45] SR-45: So I can transfer my data to.
[30.03.2021 13:05:49] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: You can't receive that permission from me, Leon.
[30.03.2021 13:05:58] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's the Government you should ask.
[30.03.2021 13:06:15] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: There's a specific Government channel for this purpose.
[30.03.2021 13:06:53] SR-45: Understood. Maybe via this frequency I can forward the scans to you aswell.
[30.03.2021 13:08:06] SR-45: Unless I could perhaps join the Navy in a semi-official capacity?
[30.03.2021 13:08:22] SR-45: Still freelance, but gather scans when requested.
[30.03.2021 13:08:45] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: You'd have to contact the Fifth Fleet's High Command for that proposal.
[30.03.2021 13:09:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's not a proposal that comes up often, so I cannot give you a response as to what the result may be.
[30.03.2021 13:09:41] SR-45: Well, in that case I'll have to make myself look very nice if I have to talk to your superiors.
[30.03.2021 13:09:56] SR-45: With this ship, it's gonna be a little hard.
[30.03.2021 13:10:44] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Bustards don't cause us much trouble here.
[30.03.2021 13:10:54] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I doubt your ship will effect the response.
[30.03.2021 13:11:22] SR-45: I'm sure the 5th have standard, right?
[30.03.2021 13:11:40] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: We wouldn't be a primary fleet if we didn't.
[30.03.2021 13:12:26] SR-45: Well, I'll try compose something to send to your superiors.
[30.03.2021 13:12:58] SR-45: If you could perhaps let them know that something is coming, I'd appreciate it.
[30.03.2021 13:13:35] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I'll be doing that shortly.
[30.03.2021 13:13:46] SR-45: Thank you, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 13:13:58] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Pleasure's all mine.
[30.03.2021 13:14:15] SR-45: I'll be taking my leave now. Got family to return to.
[30.03.2021 13:14:23] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Safe flights, Leon.
