Since we moved out of the Kepler System to Omega-3, my curiosity of the Border Worlds took me to the Omega-48 system. There, in orbit of Gran Canaria, I met a Zoner flying a Nephilim-Class Colony Ship. That ship overshadowed my Bustard's in size. The captain of this ship, Zane, explained a brief history of his ship. This got me to talk about my history with my own vessel, and how my company was born. Reliving old memories was nice, this lead me to showing what a blind jump was to Zane. I initiated an unguided rift-leap and disappeared. Though, I am not ready to talk about where I ended up just yet...

[06.05.2022 11:31:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That looks familiar..
[06.05.2022 11:31:48] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Salutations, NX-01. What's your purpose here this wonderful evening.
[06.05.2022 11:32:10] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: No... your signature doesn't match. Ah well.
[06.05.2022 11:32:30] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Good day, Zoner. I'm just here to fly around.
[06.05.2022 11:33:05] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Ah, well, enjoy the sights. Just remember the NFZ rules.
[06.05.2022 11:33:15] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Ah, disregard. I see you're...unarmed.
[06.05.2022 11:33:30] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Comm. are the scanners malfunctioning?
[06.05.2022 11:33:32] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I'm well aware of the no fire zone. Don't have to worry about that with me.
[06.05.2022 11:33:52] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Your scanners are correct, I am unarmed.
[06.05.2022 11:34:10] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Interesting. Pretty brave out here.
[06.05.2022 11:34:54] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Salutations, Toke. How are we this evening?
[06.05.2022 11:34:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Yes, well... it's my mandate for the Starfliers.
[06.05.2022 11:35:06] Toke: Very well your good self?
[06.05.2022 11:35:27] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Good good. Just doing our rounds. Speaking with this lovely gentlemen here.
[06.05.2022 11:36:20] 2022-05-06 11:36:21 SMT Traffic control alert: Toke has requested to dock
[06.05.2022 11:36:49] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Your ship looks familiar... are you sure we haven't met before?
[06.05.2022 11:37:17] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not sure. The name's Commander Zane McAllister.
[06.05.2022 11:37:46] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Commander of Zoner Defense Fleet. I have been around in my trading vessel, the Albus Lepus, you may know me from there.
[06.05.2022 11:38:06] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: ...that was before--*Ahem* Well, anyway.
[06.05.2022 11:38:12] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Lepus, yes. I have seen your name before.
[06.05.2022 11:38:33] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Supplied our home in Kepler, right?
[06.05.2022 11:38:34] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Ah yes, the Starflyers. I remember I restocked your base in Kepler.
[06.05.2022 11:38:40] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Haha, yep. That's it.
[06.05.2022 11:38:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I must be remembering someone else. Your ship and theirs are smiliar.
[06.05.2022 11:39:00] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: I like to fly my Freelancer ships from time to time. It's nice to be anonymous every so often.
[06.05.2022 11:39:04] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: If not the same.
[06.05.2022 11:39:28] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Nephilim's are fairly rare. The Zoners don't make many of them due to the expense. This one was recovered from outside...
[06.05.2022 11:39:41] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: ...Sirius space.
[06.05.2022 11:40:02] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Outside known space? That's somewhere I'd like to go.
[06.05.2022 11:40:24] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Well...maybe if you've got a jumpdrive. I was thrown outside of known space by an unstable jumphole.
[06.05.2022 11:40:35] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Salutations, RoyalUlsterRifles. How are we this evening?
[06.05.2022 11:40:48] RoyalUlsterRifles: Very well how's you?
[06.05.2022 11:40:51] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Good day, pilot.
[06.05.2022 11:41:05] 2022-05-06 11:41:06 SMT Traffic control alert: RoyalUlsterRifles has requested to dock
[06.05.2022 11:41:10] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Just doing our patrols.
[06.05.2022 11:43:20] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So, what's your story then? Found this Nephilim-Class just floating there in space?
[06.05.2022 11:43:49] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Let me tell you. I thought I was dead. Managed to get it powered up enough after 20 years and jumped it here by luck.
[06.05.2022 11:44:07] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Was the original Nephilim prototype it turns out. Found it by sheer luck...and...
[06.05.2022 11:44:19] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: *Zane grows quiet for a moment*
[06.05.2022 11:44:33] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Turns out my dad was the original commander. He and the ship were lost for 20 years after an accident.
[06.05.2022 11:44:47] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: It's a...long story.
[06.05.2022 11:45:04] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: No need to go down that rabbit hole if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
[06.05.2022 11:45:32] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Haha, rabbit hole. White rabbit. Funny.
[06.05.2022 11:46:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Oh... oh! I didn't even notice the transponder. Too distracted by the ship itself.
[06.05.2022 11:49:42] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Suppose you'd wanna know what the Starfliers are about? Me being unarmed surely has sparked a few.
[06.05.2022 11:50:05] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sure, sounds like an interesting story.
[06.05.2022 11:50:13] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sorry was...sort of in my own head there for a bit.
[06.05.2022 11:50:36] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's alright, I'm sure you had a moment, memories and such. It happens.
[06.05.2022 11:50:49] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Mmmhmm.
[06.05.2022 11:51:02] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: My story has me in the Omicrons, funnily enough.
[06.05.2022 11:51:24] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: The Omicrons are...well...you know. Haha.
[06.05.2022 11:51:37] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Purchased this particular Bustard from a zoner station. It was all busted up, with all this equipment on board.
[06.05.2022 11:52:02] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sharp looking ship indeed.
[06.05.2022 11:52:08] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Decided to fly around and see the world. Little did I know I had a malfunctioning Jump Drive.
[06.05.2022 11:52:35] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Yeah...those are fun. Been at the receiving end of a flawed Jumpdrive. It's...not fun.
[06.05.2022 11:53:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Asteroids were my worst enemy. One knocked one of my armour plates loose on the nose of this ship.
[06.05.2022 11:53:40] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: We can't even manuver this ship out of Omega-48 right now. The jump drive in this one was in really bad shape.
[06.05.2022 11:53:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: For whatever reason, the wiring or something was off, send me blind jumping everytime that panel was impacted.
[06.05.2022 11:53:48] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Had to eject it into space.
[06.05.2022 11:54:16] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: One such area was the Hammen Hole, you ever seen it?
[06.05.2022 11:54:26] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Can't say I have.
[06.05.2022 11:54:57] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: One blind jump landed me there. I can show you, it's sort of nearby.
[06.05.2022 11:55:13] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It's the reason I don't use weapons... that graveyard.
[06.05.2022 11:55:30] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: We can't take the White Rabbit out of Omega-48 at the moment. She's a big girl.
[06.05.2022 11:55:45] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not practical to pilot her to other systems until we've got a new jumpdrive installed.
[06.05.2022 11:55:55] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Very big... I almost forget there are ships bigger than my Bustard.
[06.05.2022 11:56:21] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: My other vessels are at other Freeports too, sadly.
[06.05.2022 11:56:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: If you're ever curious... it's in Omega-5.
[06.05.2022 11:57:18] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Not too far away from here then.
[06.05.2022 11:57:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hmm... not far, but it's quite a sight.
[06.05.2022 11:57:48] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Not long after, I started the Starfliers.
[06.05.2022 11:58:22] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Salutations L.O.S.T.
[06.05.2022 11:58:28] L.O.S.T: Hi...
[06.05.2022 11:58:39] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hmm? Unusual designation. Good day, pilot.
[06.05.2022 11:58:47] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: How are things this evening?
[06.05.2022 11:59:01] L.O.S.T: It's a long story, NX-01 actual.
[06.05.2022 11:59:08] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You can call me Leon.
[06.05.2022 11:59:25] L.O.S.T: Very well.
[06.05.2022 11:59:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So yeah, I started this company. An unarmed research group. Been a year now... a lot has happened.
[06.05.2022 12:00:04] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Interesting. What kind of research if you don't mind me asking.
[06.05.2022 12:00:32] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Started with selling survey data, it has grown since then.
[06.05.2022 12:00:57] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Very interesting. Might need some data in the future if you'd be interested.
[06.05.2022 12:01:08] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: You have my word we'd only use it for defensive purposes.
[06.05.2022 12:01:27] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I'd be pleased to gain a new client, though our ships are slowly being outfitted with Starflier Beacons.
[06.05.2022 12:01:36] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Feel free to use them too.
[06.05.2022 12:01:58] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: I'll communicate with your people once we're ready to get that particular part online. Right now we can't jump just yet.
[06.05.2022 12:02:05] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Still procuring a jump drive.
[06.05.2022 12:02:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Understood. We'll still be around when you do.
[06.05.2022 12:03:09] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Sounds like a plan. We need to land the White Rabbit now. Still retrofitting old systems.
[06.05.2022 12:03:23] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: She's an old girl, but we're working on getting her all updated.
[06.05.2022 12:03:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Best of luck to you and your ship.
[06.05.2022 12:03:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Godspeed.
[06.05.2022 12:03:44] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Thanks. You too. Enjoy 48, it's a beautiful system.
[06.05.2022 12:03:45] L.O.S.T: You defined your vessel as a ''she''?
[06.05.2022 12:03:58] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I do the same.
[06.05.2022 12:04:10] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Indeed. Not sure where it originated.
[06.05.2022 12:04:11] L.O.S.T: Curious...

[06.05.2022 12:04:41] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Can I ask something of you, Zane?
[06.05.2022 12:04:48] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: Of course.
[06.05.2022 12:04:54] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Before you ground the White Rabbit.
[06.05.2022 12:05:22] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Would you like to see a controlled blind jump, from the outside?
[06.05.2022 12:05:50] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: That sounds interesting. Let's go outside of the No Fire Zone, however.
[06.05.2022 12:06:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I can agree to that.
[06.05.2022 12:06:06] |ZDF|ZCV-White_Rabbit: Zane: I'll follo you.
