Bonjour, monsieurs y madames.

The beginning of August was a very active time in the Taus. I managed to rack up quite a few kills on scrap haulers who decided helping the Maltese was the smart thing to do - however, it obviously was not.

Trentino - Junker Salvager
(__Orange.Express - Outcast Dromedary
(__Cesar.Rivera - Outcast Scimitar
Mike.Thompson - Junker Salvager
.:j:.~Ortog-Ashford - Junker Marauder
kratun - Junker Salvager

Myself and Narcisse (an independent Corsican who has been assisting me in the Taus) met with one of the 'Liberty Rogues', apparently an unlawful piracy group within Liberty space. They seemed a bit hostile and did not want to agree to my demands, so we tried to blow them up - unfortunately, we could only kill their outcast escorts. A shame, really.

Next, myself, Commandant Picard, and Demolir 3, as well as a GMS bomber by the name of Lucas Bossuet, successfully stopped an Outcast attempt to smuggle large amounts of Cardamine through the Lorraine minefield hole. Roughly 7,000 units of Cardamine was destroyed across two transports and a Tridente gunboat. A nomad of some form also appeared, but it was successfully offed after smashing headfirst into the windscreen of the Aleria. By the way, someone's cleaning that up.

That's all I've got to report for now, but any more sniffers or sniffer-supporters I find in the Taus will, of course, be reported here.

Au revoir,
Grayson Matthews

Bonjour!

I'm afraid I have some troubling news to report. While on Tau patrol I intercepted one of the Congress vessels coming from Tau-37. Surprisingly he was free of that disgusting Maltese product, but what he was in possession of was a shock to my Corsican heart. The man in question was captaining a l'Ane transport vessel! I could not believe my eyes that one of our ships had fallen into such disreputable hands. You would not believe the tale he spun about how he got it if I told you, so I will simply let him tell you himself.

#1 #2 #3 #4

If this man does not even know where this ship comes from I cannot help but think he is a liar and a thief! Such Sirian arrogance! Pah.

On a more interesting note, I ran across the most fascinating Sirian vessel I've yet seen not too long afterwards. It's hard to believe, but the Sirians have built a Heavy Fighter class vessel that can wield experimentals! I didn't know such things were possible! Commandant Maxim and myself had an interesting discussion with the pilot, who said that it was produced by some ingenious independent firm. Perhaps we should invest in this company and obtain some for ourselves? I believe the Commandant has some contacts he was going to use in investigating this.

That's about it for now. I have a delivery of ore from a very, very friendly IMG crew to drop off now!

Adieu!

Salut!

I had an, uh, unusual encounter today. After returning some intercepted slaves to Freeport 10, some Maltese showed up. Nothing too unusual about that, though I was really outgunned at the time. Thankfully some of the IMG around responded to assist me, and I landed a few solid hits on the Maltese gunboat. Anyway, the weird thing is this "BD|" group showed up out of nowhere and were immediately talking about shooting me! Bad enough to have sniffers shooting my hull, now I have to deal with some weird bondage people too?! I don't now who they were, but we should be warry of them in the future. They sounded Kusarian, so perhaps our Hogosha or Samura friends can help us identify them?

Anyway, I need to go let off some steam before I punch a whole in my wall!

Bonjour fellow Corsicans!

I set out on a routine patrol in Tau 23 along with Monsieur Mathieu Picard today. We came across Monsieur Narcisse Archimbaute who gave us an intel on possible Congress vessels traffic in and around Tau 23 of late. While we were discussing about this outside Java Station, a certain miner going by the name Scoot undocked from Java and started throwing out unnecessary and rather offensive accusations against the Corsicans.

Just when he was being taught about how to speak to a Corsican, our scanners picked up a vessel, of unknown origin approaching fast, from the direction of the Kyushu anomaly. We intercepted and to our surprise *coughs* not really, a Junker gunboat and fighter class vessel came to his assist. The supposed Kusarian vessel suffered an internal malfunction as he suicide rammed unto Monsieur Picard's vessel, lighting both of their ships in the process. The gunboat was terminated by Monsieur Narcisse. I chased down the Junker fighter and he docked in Java fearing his fate after his ship suffered sever damages. This was while Narcisse chased down an outcast gunboat and made him run for his life. After this, I docked at Java for repairs.

Good morning,

Parrain Ricard is unfortunately ill at the moment, so I took it upon myself to make these announcements.

Since Tribun Orsini retired et Tribun Marquise was voted out, the Senat has been short two Tribuns. At the beginning of this month, votes were held to replace them. Senatuer Nivalgo, you were elected by a majority of families as a new Tribun. The other came as a shock to me; Senateur Poitoux, you apparently made it in by the slimmest of margins. Perhaps a portion of the Senat does indeed prefer your more aggressive tactics.

As a side note, the Armed Command has been impressed by Grayson Matthew's recent improvement in flying ability. He is now a Lieutenant within the Armed Division.

Salut!

I had an interesting run in with a Junker a few days back. I'm not really sure why she was out and about in the Taus, but she was definitely looking for trouble. Beligerant to the core, I did my best to keep our sparing verbal, given the possibility of a navy patrol sweeping by and all, but things got heated quickly. In the end I had to defend my honor and fought a tough battle that I nearly lost, but won with a moment of luck and skill!

[27.09.2014 17:13:09] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Sadly the Royalists would find such to be inconvenient.

[27.09.2014 17:13:13] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Maybe I just won't look for an excuse.

[27.09.2014 17:13:47] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: You pick that trash snub out yourself?

[27.09.2014 17:14:21] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Better than having to borrow brigand tech, so weak and dependent, the Cartel is.

[27.09.2014 17:14:29] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Looks Sirian.

[27.09.2014 17:14:46] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Pfft. Says the dog of the Royalist.

[27.09.2014 17:14:51] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Au contraire, you forget we were the first junkers.

[27.09.2014 17:14:53] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Woof woof.

[27.09.2014 17:15:12] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Aaah, maybe that explains why I dislike the Sirian version so much!

[27.09.2014 17:15:17] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: I should tear your fuselage limb from limb.

[27.09.2014 17:15:32] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Oh? How, Sirian, of you.

[27.09.2014 17:16:08] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Really, I thought your organization thought that the Royals weren;t above such savagery.

[27.09.2014 17:16:19] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: *looks confused*

[27.09.2014 17:16:22] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Uh, what?

[27.09.2014 17:16:42] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Oh, uh, right?

[27.09.2014 17:17:05] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: So then, how shall we resolve this?

[27.09.2014 17:17:22] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Uh, well, there's a battleship full of royal ass over that away.

[27.09.2014 17:17:24] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: *points*

[27.09.2014 17:17:31] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: You could go stick your nose up there perhaps?

[27.09.2014 17:18:04] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Or, there's a giant solar body over there that seems like it needs exploring.

[27.09.2014 17:18:09] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: *points to the local sun*

[27.09.2014 17:18:20] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Why don't you find your way over to that nice outcast base and mine field.

[27.09.2014 17:18:32] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: I'm sure they would welcome you with open arms.

[27.09.2014 17:18:36] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: There's a minefield around here?

[27.09.2014 17:18:43] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Oh, right.

[27.09.2014 17:18:47] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: That minefield.

[27.09.2014 17:18:57] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Oui, that minefield, idiot.

[27.09.2014 17:19:01] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Nah. Things here are fine for me.

[27.09.2014 17:19:22] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Trying to do some business and all.

[27.09.2014 17:19:53] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Sure you wouldn't like me to turn up the temperature a few hundred Kelvin?

[27.09.2014 17:20:18] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Non. My fantastically constructed Unione Corse vessel has perfect climate control. And no grease!

[27.09.2014 17:20:37] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Unlike what I assume your trash heap has.

[27.09.2014 17:21:04] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: So, do you breathe grease?

[27.09.2014 17:21:08] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Hey now!

[27.09.2014 17:21:10] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Your shield is more than pliable it seems.

[27.09.2014 17:21:23] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: I'm sure your hull is more so.

[27.09.2014 17:21:26] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Testing the waters, and i'm finding them to my liking.

[27.09.2014 17:21:47] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: That tweaked my temperature a bit.

[27.09.2014 17:22:01] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: I'm going to need compensation for that.

[27.09.2014 17:22:11] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: *laughs*

[27.09.2014 17:22:14] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Say, 50,000 francs?

[27.09.2014 17:22:22] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: No can do monsieur.

[27.09.2014 17:22:42] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: Well, only one way to get satisfaction then!

[27.09.2014 17:22:47] (GJ)-Genevieve.la.Mare: Maybe if you whiny to your Sirian buddies they'll help you out.

[27.09.2014 17:22:50] [UC]-Antoine.La'Biere.: En guarde!

Bonjour fellow Corsicans!

I launched from Java, to patrol through Tau 23, amidst various reports of Junker vessels moving cardamine through there and rising Outcast activity in that area. I was later joined by Monsieur Antoine La'Biere and Monsieur Narcisse Archimbaute. As expected, within few minutes of scouting the area, we found a Junker vessel and, to our surprise, a vessel, with Rogue idetification and in posession of cardamine, passing through Tau 23. We intercepted the vessel and proceeded to ask it to drop it's cargo. The vessel refused to do so and proceeded moving despite our attempts to stop it and make the captain drop the cargo.

We later had to initiate attack on both the vessels and they were ultimately destroyed before they could reach to a safe mooring point. Later that day, I found a Freelancer identified vessel moving in the direction of the Languedoc Jump Gate. Upon scanning, I found large quntities of Synthetic Marijuana in its cargo hold. I disrupted his cruise and asked him politely about his destination and his intentions. He kep quiet for sometime and upon further disrupting his cruise, he started to shoot me. I took care of him though, and made sure he did not reach his destination.

Salut, submitting some paperwork after today's events.

Monsieur La'Biere and I were on Patrol in the Tau region when I came across an IND vessel at the Tau-37 jumphole. As it happens, the cargo hold was full of sniffer-rubbish.

Despite what I can only surmise as the stalling of a greedy Sirian, reluctant to release the filth into a targetting solution, the contraband was released into space and promptly incinerated next to the star; I'm sure the IMG will be pleased to hear about this news, although if I'm not mistaken we've encountered this organization before, acting in a similarly suspicious manner.

La'Biere resumed patrol whilst I conversed with a Sirian Privateer, who provided a little bit of useful information before an actual Sniffer appeared on the radar. It's attempt to flee towards it's home space failed and we promptly dealt with it for another credits-claim with the IMG in the Tau-37 system.

Full transmission logs of each separate event can be found attached below, and included is the disposal of cardamine near the Tau-23 star. I'd like to add however that the IND vessel was last seen flying back in the direction of Tau-37 whilst La'Biere and I took care of the Outcast. It may be worth keeping an eye out for it.

Regards,
Selan Maxim

Salut.

I had a most intriguing pair of discussions recently while overseeing some operations within Liberte space. While directing matters upon the Cachette Secrete in Liberte, we were followed and raised on communications by a fellow identifying himself as Mr. Yoshida, who claimed to be working on behalf of the Lane Hackers. He was quite adamant about talking to us, so I allowed the capitaine of my vessel speak and listen on my behalf near the Cortez Jump Gate in the California system. The conversation was as dismal as I expected, unfortunately.

Spoiler

[22.02.2015 23:28:36] Mr.Yoshida,: Hello Unione Corse.
[22.02.2015 23:28:58] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *raises an eyebrow*
[22.02.2015 23:29:40] Mr.Yoshida,: Please halt your vessel.
[22.02.2015 23:31:05] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Please tell me why I would do that?
[22.02.2015 23:31:16] Mr.Yoshida,: Because we need to talk.
[22.02.2015 23:31:20] Mr.Yoshida,: Proceed to Cortez JG.
[22.02.2015 23:31:20] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Oui?
[22.02.2015 23:31:26] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I can talk here.
[22.02.2015 23:32:00] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I assure you, I'm quite capable of talking from here.
[22.02.2015 23:32:19] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I'm less inclined to do so with people who shoot out my trade lane routes, though.
[22.02.2015 23:32:36] Mr.Yoshida,: You have probably missed the fact that we have nothing against the Unione Corse.
[22.02.2015 23:32:56] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I tend to focus on the things I see, such as the lane before me being brought down.
[22.02.2015 23:33:28] Mr.Yoshida,: I didn't bring nothing down. And I find Unione Corse as potential business partners.
[22.02.2015 23:34:03] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You'll need to explain that one to me, then, as I am certain I saw otherwise.
[22.02.2015 23:34:18] Mr.Yoshida,: Good. Proceed where you've been designated and I shall.
[22.02.2015 23:34:45] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: And this link is insufficient to that end how?
[22.02.2015 23:34:57] Mr.Yoshida,: Can be hacked.
[22.02.2015 23:35:09] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *raises an eyebrow*
[22.02.2015 23:35:30] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Can it now. And you believe local communications to be more secure?
[22.02.2015 23:35:49] Mr.Yoshida,: Indeed. Due to their small proximity.
[22.02.2015 23:35:58] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *laughs*
[22.02.2015 23:36:08] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Very well, we'll see what you have to say.
[22.02.2015 23:37:02] Mr.Yoshida,: Excellent.
[22.02.2015 23:37:42] Mr.Yoshida,: Would you like to enlighten me with your name and rank within the Unione Corse?
[22.02.2015 23:37:58] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: That's irrelevant.
[22.02.2015 23:38:15] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: If you have a missive to give, I'll hear it.
[22.02.2015 23:38:57] Mr.Yoshida,: I am of the opinion that there is a lot of room for business partnership with the Unione Corse.
[22.02.2015 23:39:19] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: So think many.
[22.02.2015 23:39:22] Mr.Yoshida,: You're outstanding citizens of Gallia afterall and thus valuable to us.
[22.02.2015 23:39:27] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: And you represent whom?
[22.02.2015 23:39:42] Mr.Yoshida,: The Lane Hackers, of course.
[22.02.2015 23:40:22] Mr.Yoshida,: Hello Lola.
[22.02.2015 23:40:24] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I'm not certain a single pilot is worthwhile for any purpose.
[22.02.2015 23:40:28] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Well well, Mr Yoshida, I have heard alot about you
[22.02.2015 23:40:49] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Union Corse is this Hacker bothering you.
[22.02.2015 23:40:53] Mr.Yoshida,: Do you know Montezuma Base?
[22.02.2015 23:41:07] Mr.Yoshida,: We can continue our delicate discussions there.

[22.02.2015 23:41:25] Mr.Yoshida,: Lola, why don't you start running.
[22.02.2015 23:41:32] Mr.Yoshida,: No it is not.
[22.02.2015 23:41:37] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Im not afraid of you Mr Yoshida, and I am waiting on a response.
[22.02.2015 23:41:44] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: This gentlemen does appear to be in the way of the gate, if nothing else.

[22.02.2015 23:42:05] Mr.Yoshida,: So will you head there?
[22.02.2015 23:42:05] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Please move away from the gate.
[22.02.2015 23:42:07] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Perhaps if he were to move off then business would progress?
[22.02.2015 23:42:33] Mr.Yoshida,: I will make sure this Interspace does not follow us.
[22.02.2015 23:42:34] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: I agree, this Hacker is well known for blocking the gates and lanes
[22.02.2015 23:42:38] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I have passengers, monsieur. Passengers who are paying for trip, not a side trip to a dangerous spot.
[22.02.2015 23:42:45] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: He has pirated a few of the Knight Transporters and DSE transporters.
[22.02.2015 23:42:48] Mr.Yoshida,: I can vouch for your safety.
[22.02.2015 23:43:10] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: And I would entertain several thousand guests in what manner while we talk? Non, I think not today.
[22.02.2015 23:43:11] Mr.Yoshida,: And I suppose you want me to focus more on your Knight ships?
[22.02.2015 23:43:17] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: No not at all
[22.02.2015 23:43:22] Mr.Yoshida,: I thought you were relieved that I stopped doing it.
[22.02.2015 23:43:26] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: I would like you to let this gentlemen go through
[22.02.2015 23:43:40] Mr.Yoshida,: I am disappointed with you.
[22.02.2015 23:43:42] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: So if you would. Please move out of the gate.
[22.02.2015 23:43:46] Mr.Yoshida,: You just ruined a good business deal.
[22.02.2015 23:43:49] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Soon as he is has gone safetly. I will be on my way.
[22.02.2015 23:43:55] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: My passengers would certainly appreciate being able to complete their journey.
[22.02.2015 23:44:21] Mr.Yoshida,: I will forward your lack of conviction to the Professors.
[22.02.2015 23:44:28] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Oui? How dour of you to say so when I've heard nothing of worth from you yet.
[22.02.2015 23:44:39] Mr.Yoshida,: That is because we haven't talk enough
[22.02.2015 23:44:49] Mr.Yoshida,: Drop those passenger and then return to find me.
[22.02.2015 23:45:05] Mr.Yoshida,: If you don't do that then I'll have my answer.
[22.02.2015 23:45:08] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I find your attitude impetuous and rude, monsieur.
[22.02.2015 23:45:18] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Bien, monsieur hacker.
[22.02.2015 23:45:19] [Knight]F-Lola.Simons: Is that enough room
[22.02.2015 23:45:21] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Adieu.
[22.02.2015 23:46:03] Mr.Yoshida,: I expect a message soon.

Regrettably, it was not to be the only trouble with this pest we would experience this day. Ferrying wounded Bretonian troopers we managed to smuggle off the surface of Leeds, helped in no small part by the cargo of Nox we brought with us I'm sure, we were accosted once more by this so called representative of the Lane Hackers. Becoming tired of his attempts to raise us on the comms I relented and had the capitaine arrange a meeting in the Kepler System in the hopes that perhaps a more private conversation would yield something fruitful, but I did not hold high hopes to that end. I believe that to be wise given the discussion between "Mr. Yoshida" and my capitaine.

Spoiler

[23.02.2015 00:37:42] Mr.Yoshida,: I hope you're not carrying any human cargo again.
[23.02.2015 00:44:43] Mr.Yoshida,: So?
[23.02.2015 00:45:10] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: So what, monsieur? I'm tasked with delivering critically wounded men to a hospital right now.
[23.02.2015 00:45:22] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Would you have me let them expire?
[23.02.2015 00:45:30] Mr.Yoshida,: So I think you're interested to talk business then.
[23.02.2015 00:45:33] Mr.Yoshida,: you're not*
[23.02.2015 00:45:56] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I haven't even heard the vaguest insinuation of what said business is about, monsieur.
[23.02.2015 00:46:20] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You cannot expect me to divert without reason, now can you?
[23.02.2015 00:47:11] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I will be passing Ames rather soon. Say what you hae to say there.
[23.02.2015 00:47:16] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *have
[23.02.2015 00:47:43] Mr.Yoshida,: I shall meet you there, then.
*here the identifier switches*
[23.02.2015 00:56:14] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Greetings.
[23.02.2015 00:56:22] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *raises an eyebrow*
[23.02.2015 00:56:33] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Salut.
[23.02.2015 00:56:50] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: And you are?
[23.02.2015 00:56:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I am Mr Yoshida.
[23.02.2015 00:57:05] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Pfft.
[23.02.2015 00:57:09] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Prove it.
[23.02.2015 00:57:27] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: This is getting annoying.
[23.02.2015 00:57:35] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: So let me put this
[23.02.2015 00:57:46] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I do enjoy the simple things in life, monsieur.
[23.02.2015 00:57:53] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Consistency being one of them.
[23.02.2015 00:58:15] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: We view the Unione Corse as potential business partners. If you think that you do not want to deal with the Hackers,
[23.02.2015 00:58:54] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: then I think your transports in Liberty can become fine targets for our interdiction operations.
[23.02.2015 00:59:06] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Aren't you blunt.
[23.02.2015 00:59:20] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I am. But that is because you exhausted my patience.
[23.02.2015 00:59:30] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Perhaps you are unaware of previous attempts to deal in business between your organization and ours?
[23.02.2015 00:59:34] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: With passengers, wounded men and now questioning who I am.
[23.02.2015 00:59:57] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: And what happened to the previous attempts?
[23.02.2015 01:00:00] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You do not bear the same identity I last saw of a whom you claim to be, monsieur.
[23.02.2015 01:00:09] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *shrugs*
[23.02.2015 01:00:19] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: They fell through, I believe.
[23.02.2015 01:00:42] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I am currently searching the neural net as we speak.
[23.02.2015 01:00:57] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Entirely up to you.
[23.02.2015 01:01:02] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I wasn't involved.
[23.02.2015 01:01:28] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: And I cannot find anything.
[23.02.2015 01:02:03] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Are you aware of the Blackport 66 in this system?
*an attack by a passing convoy interrupted us for a moment*
[23.02.2015 01:03:37] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Violent, aren't they?
[23.02.2015 01:03:43] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Indeed.
[23.02.2015 01:03:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: They should be glad that you're my operations' target.
[23.02.2015 01:04:06] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *laughs*
[23.02.2015 01:04:36] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: So. I couldn't find anything related.
[23.02.2015 01:04:48] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I'm sorry, monsieur, but I'm not interested in following you off of the beaten path.
[23.02.2015 01:04:58] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: If you have anything meaningful to say, say it here.
[23.02.2015 01:05:17] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: *sighs*
[23.02.2015 01:05:30] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I want you to tell me what happened in the previous attempts.
[23.02.2015 01:05:40] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *shrugs*
[23.02.2015 01:06:04] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I wasn't involved, monsieur. I wouldn't know. I'm only passingly familiar of an attempt to broach a deal that didn't make it.
[23.02.2015 01:06:25] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Very well.
[23.02.2015 01:06:32] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Can you pass this to your higher-ups then?
[23.02.2015 01:06:54] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: All I've heard is a threat to be bellicose from you.
[23.02.2015 01:06:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Our meeting and the prospect of a business deal?
[23.02.2015 01:06:59] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: That's hardly a business proposition.
[23.02.2015 01:07:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: So?
[23.02.2015 01:08:37] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I only want a yes or no from you.
[23.02.2015 01:08:55] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Is your entire business proposal to shoot us when we make our appearance here?
[23.02.2015 01:09:08] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Because that's the only proposition I've yet heard, mon ami.
[23.02.2015 01:09:46] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is the only proposition that YOU want to hear.
[23.02.2015 01:09:52] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is totally inaccurate.
[23.02.2015 01:10:18] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You said something along the lines of, and I pseudo-quote here, "Be our partner or get shot."
[23.02.2015 01:10:56] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I am not exactly familiar with Unione Corse
[23.02.2015 01:11:08] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Timestamp SMT of 00:58:22 through 00:59:01, monsieur.
[23.02.2015 01:11:20] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *laughs*
[23.02.2015 01:11:36] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You propose that we would be good business partners for you and you don't even know who we are?
[23.02.2015 01:11:44] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *laughs louder*
[23.02.2015 01:11:49] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Oui, this is rich, monsieur.
[23.02.2015 01:12:02] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: But I know that Corse families know what business means.
[23.02.2015 01:12:05] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Are you a travelling comedian?
[23.02.2015 01:12:10] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Oui, we know business.
[23.02.2015 01:12:15] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: That means profit.
[23.02.2015 01:12:34] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is enough. You are insulting.
[23.02.2015 01:12:34] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: That means dealing with those who share a similar interest.
[23.02.2015 01:12:45] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Monsieur, it is you who are insulting here.
[23.02.2015 01:12:53] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I don't manage to finish my sentence and you already comment upon it.
[23.02.2015 01:12:59] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You make no concrete proposal.
[23.02.2015 01:13:11] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You threaten violence if your way is not met.
[23.02.2015 01:13:25] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Why should I take you at anything beyond that?
[23.02.2015 01:13:35] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Greetings PLR.
[23.02.2015 01:13:59] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You even acknowledge you don't even know who you're dealing with.
[23.02.2015 01:14:08] PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed: Greetings
[23.02.2015 01:14:32] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Salut.
[23.02.2015 01:14:32] PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed: Sounds like a riot going on here. Don't mind me
[23.02.2015 01:14:37] 2015-02-23 01:14:45 SMT Traffic control alert: PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed has requested to dock
[23.02.2015 01:14:37] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Yes
[23.02.2015 01:14:45] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: This Gallic forgot his place.
[23.02.2015 01:15:00] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I was saying, PLR
[23.02.2015 01:15:06] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That this Gallian forgot his place.
[23.02.2015 01:15:08] PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed: I don't understand, why are you hostile to me Hacker?
[23.02.2015 01:15:09] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I arrived here because you asked me to hear a business proposition.
[23.02.2015 01:15:20] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: All I've heard are threats and bloviating.
[23.02.2015 01:15:23] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is because I flash a Guard IFF.
[23.02.2015 01:15:36] PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed: Interesting....
[23.02.2015 01:15:42] PLR:Unlawfully.Borrowed: I'll be sure to tell my Bss
[23.02.2015 01:16:15] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Will that be all for your business proposal hacker?
[23.02.2015 01:16:16] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: If you can only understand with threats, then threat it is then.
[23.02.2015 01:16:29] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: But this is not what I wanted to carry across.
[23.02.2015 01:16:37] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: And this is not my intention.
[23.02.2015 01:16:51] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Then rectify that.
[23.02.2015 01:17:15] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I want to conduct business with the Unione Corse
[23.02.2015 01:17:20] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Simple and easy.
[23.02.2015 01:17:45] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: What sort of business would you propose?
[23.02.2015 01:17:47] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: If you do not wish to deal with our kind, presumably because you want to secure your good relations with Lib Gov
[23.02.2015 01:18:02] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Then I see why we should not consider you as another corporate lackey.
[23.02.2015 01:18:11] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is what I had said. Now with more details than before.
[23.02.2015 01:18:36] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I've heard nothing new in your statement regarding what it is that you seek from us.
[23.02.2015 01:19:11] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I will not relay this to you, you apparently are a low-ranked transport captain.
[23.02.2015 01:19:21] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: This is directed to your bosses.
[23.02.2015 01:19:23] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: *laughs*
[23.02.2015 01:19:52] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Monsieur, it seems you would have been better off direction a Neural Net transmission to me.
[23.02.2015 01:20:09] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: At least then you would not be speaking to a lowly transport captain.
[23.02.2015 01:20:31] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I have no links to Unione Corse
[23.02.2015 01:20:39] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: That is why you will relay it to them
[23.02.2015 01:20:42] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I shall remind my superiors of your wish to harm our interests, however.
[23.02.2015 01:20:58] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I'm sure I can write up a missive telling them of our encounter.
[23.02.2015 01:21:49] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Will that be all?
[23.02.2015 01:22:36] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: *laughs* Well, if you relay only threats and this does not go as intended, you'll be the one to be blamed.
[23.02.2015 01:22:51] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: And I'll make sure to inform the rest of the families about this fact.
[23.02.2015 01:23:22] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: I'm quite certain they'll take your word on that over mine. I am but a lowly transport captain, after all.
[23.02.2015 01:23:37] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: Very well.
[23.02.2015 01:23:52] [UC]V-Cachette.Secrete: You are dismissed, *cough*Mister Yoshida*cough*.
[23.02.2015 01:23:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Your negative disposition is the one at fault.
[23.02.2015 01:24:07] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Good day.

I am unfortunately only passingly familiar with respect to our standing with the Lane Hackers of Liberte, and will have to dig into the Senat archives to learn more, but my impression of them does not bode well. I see no opportunity to be had with an organization that wishes to negotiate with us at the end of a weapon. I am sure that the Senat will arrive at a similar conclusion, but I leave it up to them to decide our response.

Adieu.
