Encryption:ONI-OMEGA78-A Origin: The Office of Naval Intelligence Handler 36 Subject: Not all is black and white? Message bulk:
It would appear the infestation of Rheinland is not as complete as previously assumed - today we encountered the Donau Class Cruiser [RM]KKS-Suebi near Durban, they were promptly attacked by a massive Nomad war form when we mentioned the Einbeck.
I promptly provided assistance, but the Nomad was too much for the Cruiser and yours truly and we both had to retreat. This follows the relatively cordial interaction with the [RM] forces in Hudson of the Main Forces,

[26.03.2024 18:42:48] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I'd expect we will raise some eyebrows *laughs*
[26.03.2024 18:43:04] 1st|ONI-Ptah: What brings you to Delta? This is Handler 36 from the Office of Naval Intelligence

[26.03.2024 18:43:44] [RM]KKS-Suebi: I was told Durban had custom hammers but they do not
[26.03.2024 18:44:01] 1st|ONI-Ptah: The Core should have their weapons for sale
[26.03.2024 18:44:10] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I would ask at the Drydock
[26.03.2024 18:44:32] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Looking for light arms, and I can't exactly pull up in detroit *winks*
[26.03.2024 18:44:45] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I hope you wouldn't *squints eyes*
[26.03.2024 18:44:52] 1st|ONI-Ptah: We had issues with your BDM breaking protocol
[26.03.2024 18:44:59] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Strutting around New York!
[26.03.2024 18:45:07] [RM]KKS-Suebi: I'm not BDM
[26.03.2024 18:45:11] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I see that!
[26.03.2024 18:45:22] [RM]KKS-Suebi: SUPERIOR FIREPOWER
[26.03.2024 18:45:25] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Yesterday we have seen a Bismarck side by side with nomads
[26.03.2024 18:45:33] Hapi: ***...(curiosity) ~another~ from 'Rheinland' / 'We' -shall- ~assist~ 'Theirs' against 'Ptah'...***
[26.03.2024 18:45:43] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Whaaat
[26.03.2024 18:45:43] 1st|ONI-Ptah: What the hell?
[26.03.2024 18:45:56] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Seems like Someone wants to assist you against me?
[26.03.2024 18:46:00] [RM]KKS-Suebi: That is a very serious accusation!
[26.03.2024 18:46:01] 1st|ONI-Ptah: *scratches head*
[26.03.2024 18:46:17] Hapi: [The message didn't take long to be delivered. Truth be told, neither did the sender take long to make an appeareance.]
[26.03.2024 18:46:18] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Well, I know what I saw
[26.03.2024 18:46:19] [RM]KKS-Suebi: What was this Bismarck's callsign?
[26.03.2024 18:46:32] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I can't recall, now
[26.03.2024 18:46:37] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Let me check
[26.03.2024 18:46:45] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Careful
[26.03.2024 18:46:46] 1st|ONI-Ptah: a nomad is here
[26.03.2024 18:46:49] [RM]KKS-Suebi: *weapons powering down*
[26.03.2024 18:47:01] [RM]KKS-Suebi: *weapons powering up*
[26.03.2024 18:47:03] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Move!
[26.03.2024 18:47:12] Hapi: [The voidform shifted closer, inspecting the Donau.]
[26.03.2024 18:47:20] 1st|ONI-Ptah: You are outclassed, I wouldnt provokeit
[26.03.2024 18:47:34] 1st|ONI-Ptah: If it attacks you however, I will assist
[26.03.2024 18:47:35] Changing screen mode=windowed
[26.03.2024 18:47:43] [RM]KKS-Suebi: That's fine
[26.03.2024 18:48:13] 1st|ONI-Ptah: The callsign of the Bismarck is the Shiller
[26.03.2024 18:48:23] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Thank you
[26.03.2024 18:48:24] Death: Corby.corp.VHF was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.03.2024 18:48:30] Hapi: ***...-know- 'You' / 'Ptah' of 'Theirs' ~work~ with 'Ours' (?)...***
[26.03.2024 18:48:31] 1st|ONI-Ptah: They even had nomad Equipment onboard
[26.03.2024 18:49:28] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Were flying side by side with an alien, attacked the Order
[26.03.2024 18:49:55] 1st|ONI-Ptah: They were seen with the Einbeck
[26.03.2024 18:50:26] Hapi: [The mention of the Einbeck sent the voidform into a craze. It lit up like nothing they'd seen before, preparing to strike.]
[26.03.2024 18:50:40] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Seems like the thing doesn't like the Einbeck
[26.03.2024 18:51:07] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Anyways, the warships were together
[26.03.2024 18:51:16] [RM]KKS-Suebi: It's logged now
[26.03.2024 18:51:35] [RM]KKS-Suebi: We clean up our own messes
[26.03.2024 18:51:53] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Well, I am here to investigate, to prevent threats to Liberty
[26.03.2024 18:52:00] Hapi: [Still, it made no true attempt to fight, for now, only sending stray shots into the shields of the cruiser.]
[26.03.2024 18:52:13] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Did that thing shoot you?
[26.03.2024 18:52:20] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I say we take it down
[26.03.2024 18:52:43] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Could use some backup, the core doesnt seem to mind
[26.03.2024 18:52:53] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Your call to make
[26.03.2024 18:53:05] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Alright, powering up
[26.03.2024 18:53:06] 1st|ONI-Ptah: If you decide to shoot back, we can go after it
[26.03.2024 18:53:29] 1st|ONI-Ptah: very well
[26.03.2024 18:56:23] Hapi: [It merely toyed around with the 'guests'.]
[26.03.2024 18:58:04] [RM]KKS-Suebi: Withdrawing
[26.03.2024 18:58:19] 1st|ONI-Ptah was killed by Hapi (100%)
and even a conversation with the BDM, who have insisted that their organization is NOT under the spell of the nomads. Their agent did make a solid case I must admit.
Code:
[25.03.2024 22:14:54] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Came to finish the job?
[25.03.2024 22:15:02] BDM|Viper.VII: What job?
[25.03.2024 22:15:04] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Where are your nomad masters, Rheinlander
[25.03.2024 22:15:17] BDM|Viper.VII: You're delusional.
[25.03.2024 22:15:22] BDM|Viper.VII: Hold up, let's talk.
[25.03.2024 22:15:26] BDM|Viper.VII: I want to know more.
[25.03.2024 22:15:44] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Right - and those multiple Rheinland Warships were a dream I suppose *laughs*
[25.03.2024 22:15:54] BDM|Viper.VII: What warships?
[25.03.2024 22:16:04] 1st|ONI-Ptah: You will not deceive me
[25.03.2024 22:16:14] 1st|ONI-Ptah: We know Rheinland is infected again
[25.03.2024 22:16:31] 1st|ONI-Ptah: We saw your kind in Liberty, BDM - it was obvious something was wrong
[25.03.2024 22:16:39] BDM|Viper.VII: Maybe you could - instead of insinuating this - send me what evidence you have.
[25.03.2024 22:16:50] 1st|ONI-Ptah: And why should I trust, YOU with the evidence?
[25.03.2024 22:17:01] BDM|Viper.VII: What difference does it make to you?
[25.03.2024 22:17:03] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Your own BDM people invaded New York and Texas
[25.03.2024 22:17:11] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Why should we reveal our cards
[25.03.2024 22:17:29] BDM|Viper.VII: If I were an alien it wouldn't make sense for me to talk to you at all.
[25.03.2024 22:17:42] BDM|Viper.VII: Nevermind ask for evidence that I would already know.
[25.03.2024 22:17:46] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Your "people" did talk as they ran in New York
[25.03.2024 22:17:54] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Explain that
[25.03.2024 22:18:16] 1st|ONI-Ptah: They flew your flag, violating our laws, with alien materials, running when asked to stop
[25.03.2024 22:18:17] BDM|Viper.VII: How about you send me the evidence of those infected ships.
[25.03.2024 22:18:21] BDM|Viper.VII: And I'll talk to you.
[25.03.2024 22:18:54] 1st|ONI-Ptah: We have an extensive cache of it. What benefit it is to me - you could just warn your nomad overseers for all I know?
[25.03.2024 22:19:08] BDM|Viper.VII: You're making no sense at all.
[25.03.2024 22:19:19] BDM|Viper.VII: If I were an alien why would I ask for a COPY of this evidence/
[25.03.2024 22:19:24] BDM|Viper.VII: It would make no difference.
[25.03.2024 22:19:30] 1st|ONI-Ptah: That may be, but what do you offer in return
[25.03.2024 22:19:36] BDM|Viper.VII: I'm not an Alien and I'd like to warn my people.
[25.03.2024 22:19:45] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Your people are too far gone
[25.03.2024 22:19:53] BDM|Viper.VII: Send me the evidence and we can hash out what happened in Liberty between my department and yours.
[25.03.2024 22:20:02] Rules Tip: Do not run Freelancer at a framerate above 155fps - for more information on this, please visit our forums @ Discoverygc.com.
[25.03.2024 22:20:06] BDM|Viper.VII: I think that's fair enough.
[25.03.2024 22:20:15] BDM|Hammer: Viper. Hammer reporting in.
[25.03.2024 22:20:29] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I will send you crumbs, and you prove to my you can be trusted by explaining what were you doing with the exotic materials
[25.03.2024 22:20:33] 1st|ONI-Ptah: Disrespecting us
[25.03.2024 22:20:35] BDM|Viper.VII: Good to see you, keep an eye out for more nomads.
[25.03.2024 22:20:38] 1st|ONI-Ptah: There *is* a fine issued
[25.03.2024 22:20:47] BDM|Hammer: Ja, wilco.
[25.03.2024 22:20:57] BDM|Viper.VII: I'll be waiting for the evidence.
[25.03.2024 22:20:58] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I will send you the minimum, once the fine is paid, perhaps we share the whole story
[25.03.2024 22:21:21] 1st|ONI-Ptah: I cannot see how Nomad slaves would send financial fees
There is hope yet, further investigation is required.
