Greetings,

We are the crew of the Liberty Navy Office of Naval Intelligence exploration and sample collecting vessel 1st|ONI-Shadow-1.b

We have been investigating the catastrophic jump gate blackout and its connection to mysterious uncharted systems, and it appears one of the chaotic exits from one of them leads to vessels exiting in the Sigma systems. We have had the luck of being greeted and assisted by Matsumo Yabuki after an unknown anomaly spat us out in what we found to be the Sigma-13 system. We are now en route back to Liberty, but of course, we are aware of the paragraph 3.2 of the Gas Miners Guild territorial laws we were unfortunate to find ourselves in the breach of unintentionally, we thank you for your positive and welcoming approach and showing us the right way.

A potential
Unrelated to today's incident, Part of ONI investigation of the blackouts has been a discovery very unstable connection that could potentially connect our houses - unrelated to the chaotic anomalies that forced us into your territory this time. This connection could potentially lead from the Copernicus system

As discussed with Matsumo Yabuki, if proven stable and truly connecting our territories in a predictable way, the transit zone could lead to a new era of potential cooperation, alongside combatting potential threats. The system is highly unstable, with various anomalies leading to Hazards and dangerous gas pockets, but it is something we hope could be explored.


Once again we thank you for your assistance, we are almost back home, and here's to hoping for a closer bond between our peoples!

[12.10.2023 17:18:38] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: State your business, Navy vessel.
[12.10.2023 17:18:58] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: trying to get home! We were spat out by an unknown spatial rift
[12.10.2023 17:19:15] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: What system have we found ourselves in friend?
[12.10.2023 17:19:33] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: You have found yourself within Guild space, specifically Sigma-13.
[12.10.2023 17:19:43] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Ah that's a relief!
[12.10.2023 17:19:48] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: It could have been much worse
[12.10.2023 17:20:00] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: We have been informed about a possible connection with Liberty from here
[12.10.2023 17:20:06] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Are you aware of such a thing?

[12.10.2023 17:20:20] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: Yes, your connection to Liberty will be through the Honshu System.
[12.10.2023 17:20:29] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: Please head towards the Jumpgate.
[12.10.2023 17:20:39] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Your house, your rules so to speak
[12.10.2023 17:20:39] Changing screen mode=full
[12.10.2023 17:20:50] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Proceeding as requested!
[12.10.2023 17:21:01] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: How is business in the Guild these days?
[12.10.2023 17:21:47] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: GMG vessel, do you copy?
[12.10.2023 17:21:55] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: Please take this gate, I do hope you return home safely.
[12.10.2023 17:22:06] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: We thank you - while we are here
[12.10.2023 17:22:15] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: There are rumors of an even closer connection, very unstable
[12.10.2023 17:22:42] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: I cannot confirm or deny, and probably any such endeavour shouldn't be pursued with proper research
[12.10.2023 17:22:59] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: but if found stable, perhaps cooperation with the Guild could be more ... direct?
[12.10.2023 17:23:30] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: That is not something I can answer. But, perhaps it could be possible.
[12.10.2023 17:23:39] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: Now then. On you go.
[12.10.2023 17:23:51] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Sure thing, thank you for your assistance!
[12.10.2023 17:23:59] Changing screen mode=windowed
[12.10.2023 17:25:08] GMG|Uchinaa.Maru: Oh, what's this?
[12.10.2023 17:25:19] GMG|Uchinaa.Maru: You came from the Sigmas?
[12.10.2023 17:25:20] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: Good day! One of yours sent me your way *smiles*
[12.10.2023 17:25:32] GMG|Uchinaa.Maru: Please read the Guild Laws next time.
[12.10.2023 17:25:36] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: One Matsumo Yabuki
[12.10.2023 17:25:49] 1st|ONI-Shadow.1b: why of course
