It's been awhile since anyone from our group has encountered even a member of the Gallic Brigands. Since I'm unsure if word of our own group has spread, allow me to tell you what I feel to be the most relevant details about us. We have issues with the Gallic Royal Navy for a variety of reasons, including them shooting at us on multiple occasions. We have no problems shooting them or anyone supporting them back and have access to a number of markets that you may find interesting.
Rather than give you a bunch of words that for all you know could be a blatant lie, I would like to prove both our intent and our competency by offering to transfer to you a shipment of roughly 4000 crates of unmarked munitions for either your own use or to be sold in your own markets. We are more than willing to submit to an escort to a base of your choosing or to transfer the cargo directly to one of your ships or whatever other arrangements you may require. Please let me know what you think.

Straight to the point, huh? Bien, I like that. The name's Claude Bertrand, first lieutenant of Les Damnés. You got us all interested when you mentioned those markets. I also like the idea with that shipment of munitions. We're always open for business opportunities, so give us some time to figure out the details like "how", "when" and "where" and then we'll contact you about the goods.
If you happen to fly near Boulogne at some point, feel free to drop by. "Le Chat Noir" is always open for potential partners, just tell the bartender that I invited you. With that being said, we'll be in touch.
I'm glad to gain a favorable response. We too are always open for good business and hope to forge a mutually beneficial relationship. To make the transfer go smoother I've had the transport moved into as neutral and close of a position as I could think of, so the transport is currently docked at the Freeport in Tau 37. Whenever you get those details worked out it should be a relatively simple matter on our part to move the goods to you. I would recommend a more secure location for the transfer than the Freeport itself though, being open to you and I means it's open for everyone else as well.
Sorry for the late reply. We had some problems with people who wanted to get our stuff.
But the problem is settled, so we can continue our talk about the those munitions.
We don't have the transports with the cargo hold large enough to pick the cargo up in one go. So we will have to do two runs if you don't mind.
My transport can carry up to 3500 units of cargo. We can pick up the remaining cargo next time or figure something out; we'll discuss the details in person.
My offer is to meet in Tau-44, Sector E3. I'll be there tomorrow at 19:00 SMT.
There'd better be no surprises.
It's good to hear that business is moving along, although I am a little concerned about your vessels cargo limitations. More trips means more exposure and more danger. Still, we'll manage to work around it somehow. I've already had one of our ships survey the meeting location and while I feel the system is adequate it is worryingly close to a Royal Navy battleship. I have every intention of ensuring that the transport is there for the transfer, however it would be best if both vessels do not linger in the area for too long.
I am happy to say at least from our perspective the exchange was successful and hopefully mutually profitable. However I would like to bring up another point for discussion which happened later after our transports had parted ways.
While flying through the Taus looking for salvage one of our transports managed to locate two vessels with the GRP| transponder hauling Nox. Though I dont particularly believe their story that they had confiscated it since it was flying OUT of Gallia, the cargo itself is of interest to me. After doing some probing of the market it seems that Nox is in high demand throughout much of Sirius and I was hoping that perhaps if the munitions we have provided you are of adequate value an exchange of these two goods could be made. If this is an issue for you in anyway I'm sure there are other goods you may wish to see making their way onto certain markets.
Oh, here are the cargo scan recordings in case you are interested. 1234
*The viewscreen flickers to life revealing a sturdy dark-haired man in his early thirties sitting in a dimly-lit luxury furnished room, apparently in a club somewhere.*
Bonjour, it's Claude Bertrand again. Oui, the exchange was profitable for us both. Regarding Nox... well, it has proven to be a steady source of income for Brigands and Corse here in Gallia. It's no wonder that some Sirians want it badly, and even the Royal Police... Wait, what am I saying, -especially- the Royal Police can be tempted by the profits. Those scans might work as a nice leverage under the right circumstances.
But I digress, let's get back to business. Since the last exchange went smoothly, we'd be interested in more deals. It'd probably be more convenient to arrange meeting times on other channels though.
It's been awhile since we've seen your ships in space or really had any contact at all, so I hope this transmission reaches you safe and sound. It seems that a particular group is interested in acquiring 15,000 units of your Hypnotainment Bands. While we can from time to time obtain some from secondhand markets, we are unable to gather this amount and deliver them ourselves in a timely manner. With that said, I was hoping you could perhaps sell them to us. Should you see the value of this exchange, I can ensure that an equal amount of quality munitions are set aside to be handed over as payment.
*The viewscreen flickers to life revealing the same sturdy dark-haired man in his early thirties. The man hasn't shaved for a while, his has a couple of old scars, and an eyepatch covers his right eye. The transmission is occasionally interrupted by static. It appears that it comes from a ship moving through a dust field*
Bonjour. Oui, we're fine, merci. Had a a little problem back at the club, and it took us a lot of effort to solve it. But on to business: we can help you source some of those bands, but that's quite the number you're talking about... *sighs* Munitions are always nice though.
Anyway, L'Indomptable is still flying, so we can send some bands your way. Let's leave the time and place for other channels.
Apologies for the long quiet, we've had some issues of our own with obtaining such a large amount of munitions for trade, which I am thankfully able to say are in position and can be transferred at any time. Beyond that, a certain incident has reached me regarding one of our pilots finding one of your own transport captains lost and apparently very very confused. I'll be sending the full details in just a moment, but before I do I would like to offer my opinion that you should be very very cautious towards the person was flying that ship, and to the Omicrons in general. Hopefully this isn't overdue and they've made it home safely.
[06.03.2016 08:06:19] Rocky.Road: Hold up.
[06.03.2016 08:06:30] LD|L'ecureuil: Well
[06.03.2016 08:06:40] Rocky.Road: Oh hey, it's one of you guys.
[06.03.2016 08:06:48] Rocky.Road: Bit different from what I usually catch around here.
[06.03.2016 08:07:06] LD|L'ecureuil: Just some mission...
[06.03.2016 08:07:16] LD|L'ecureuil: Looking for Gallic Traders

[06.03.2016 08:07:49] Rocky.Road: Usually at least.
[06.03.2016 08:07:56] Rocky.Road: Right now it's uh, pretty much devoid of life.
[06.03.2016 08:08:47] Rocky.Road: Besides us obviously.
[06.03.2016 08:08:57] Rocky.Road: Unless you... arent alive?
[06.03.2016 08:09:51] LD|L'ecureuil: Uh, What Where I am?
[06.03.2016 08:10:05] LD|L'ecureuil: Who are you?

[06.03.2016 08:12:01] LD|L'ecureuil: What is going on here?
[06.03.2016 08:12:25] Rocky.Road: You okay buddy?
[06.03.2016 08:12:42] LD|L'ecureuil: (sleepy eye)
[06.03.2016 08:13:19] Rocky.Road: Who the hell would ever let someone like you fly a ship?
[06.03.2016 08:13:25] LD|L'ecureuil: Nope, Some strange filling
[06.03.2016 08:14:12] LD|L'ecureuil: I should ask someone?
[06.03.2016 08:14:19] Rocky.Road: Do you know anyone?
[06.03.2016 08:14:37] LD|L'ecureuil: Arrr
[06.03.2016 08:14:39] LD|L'ecureuil: Yep

[06.03.2016 08:15:34] LD|L'ecureuil: My leader?...
[06.03.2016 08:15:49] Rocky.Road: Do you know where they are?
[06.03.2016 08:16:19] LD|L'ecureuil: Christine....
[06.03.2016 08:16:40] Rocky.Road: That...isnt a place.
[06.03.2016 08:16:43] LD|L'ecureuil: My best girl friend
[06.03.2016 08:16:46] Rocky.Road: That's a name. I think.
[06.03.2016 08:16:46] LD|L'ecureuil: She
[06.03.2016 08:17:20] LD|L'ecureuil: She is around Burgundy I guess
[06.03.2016 08:17:27] LD|L'ecureuil: I am...

[06.03.2016 08:17:35] LD|L'ecureuil: Right
[06.03.2016 08:17:46] LD|L'ecureuil: My name is Klara
[06.03.2016 08:17:50] LD|L'ecureuil: Ur
[06.03.2016 08:18:07] LD|L'ecureuil: I have remember something
[06.03.2016 08:18:13] Rocky.Road: Oh?
[06.03.2016 08:18:54] LD|L'ecureuil: Right. Big Omicrons Mission
[06.03.2016 08:19:22] LD|L'ecureuil: I met some blue ship
[06.03.2016 08:19:49] Rocky.Road: Right, well, I think the best choice is to get you back home.
[06.03.2016 08:19:52] Rocky.Road: Dont you agree?
[06.03.2016 08:20:00] Rocky.Road: You want to see um...christine again, right?
[06.03.2016 08:20:01] LD|L'ecureuil: Next time I last my memory
[06.03.2016 08:20:11] LD|L'ecureuil: Sure
[06.03.2016 08:20:33] Rocky.Road: Do you remember the way?
[06.03.2016 08:21:06] LD|L'ecureuil: Nav systems has the way
[06.03.2016 08:21:09] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[06.03.2016 08:21:32] Rocky.Road: Lets get you home then.
[06.03.2016 08:21:46] Rocky.Road: You dont really seem like you're in any condition to be out on your own.
[06.03.2016 08:22:14] LD|L'ecureuil: Sure I thinkg so too
[06.03.2016 08:22:30] Rocky.Road: Charge cruise and take the lead then.
[06.03.2016 08:23:44] LD|L'ecureuil: Your ship has invisible system
[06.03.2016 08:23:46] LD|L'ecureuil: ?
[06.03.2016 08:23:55] Rocky.Road: Yeah, it's called a cloaking device.
[06.03.2016 08:24:01] Rocky.Road: It's for sneaking around.
[06.03.2016 08:24:11] Rocky.Road: These arent the nicest of places for people like us.
[06.03.2016 08:24:34] LD|L'ecureuil: One os our's ship has it too.
[06.03.2016 08:24:56] LD|L'ecureuil: We calling that Blue Rage
[06.03.2016 08:25:21] Rocky.Road: What class of ship is it?
[06.03.2016 08:25:25] LD|L'ecureuil: We got that after fight with police
[06.03.2016 08:25:26] Rocky.Road: And are you sure this is the way home?
[06.03.2016 08:25:45] LD|L'ecureuil: Nav system tell about this way
[06.03.2016 08:25:59] LD|L'ecureuil: Light fighter with Blue Rage
[06.03.2016 08:26:18] Rocky.Road: Isnt gallia in the other direction?
[06.03.2016 08:26:41] LD|L'ecureuil: Yep
[06.03.2016 08:27:10] Rocky.Road: So...where are you headed?
[06.03.2016 08:27:29] LD|L'ecureuil: Lyonnais
[06.03.2016 08:27:49] Rocky.Road: Oh, we're going in that way. Alright.
[06.03.2016 08:27:51] LD|L'ecureuil: It's smoke way
[06.03.2016 08:28:37] LD|L'ecureuil: Not everyone know about this way
[06.03.2016 08:29:05] Rocky.Road: It's known, it's just a bit odd considering the system we were in when we met goes into gallia as well.
[06.03.2016 08:31:08] LD|L'ecureuil: My memory is coming back.
[06.03.2016 08:31:17] Rocky.Road: Anything important?
[06.03.2016 08:31:32] LD|L'ecureuil: Blue ships
[06.03.2016 08:31:47] LD|L'ecureuil: I met them before
[06.03.2016 08:32:39] Rocky.Road: Yeah, you should stay away from those.
[06.03.2016 08:32:53] Rocky.Road: Why was someone like you out in the Omicrons in the first place?
[06.03.2016 08:33:21] LD|L'ecureuil: Omicrons are Outcasts and Money for us
[06.03.2016 08:34:02] LD|L'ecureuil: Could you tell someone?
[06.03.2016 08:34:15] Rocky.Road: Tell someone what?
[06.03.2016 08:34:27] LD|L'ecureuil: About the Order, who they are?
[06.03.2016 08:35:27] Rocky.Road: Uh, well.
[06.03.2016 08:35:37] Rocky.Road: They're a bunch of terrorists basically.
[06.03.2016 08:35:59] Rocky.Road: They fight the blue ships you met.
[06.03.2016 08:36:03] Rocky.Road: That's about it.
[06.03.2016 08:36:25] LD|L'ecureuil: They asked about blue ships
[06.03.2016 08:36:44] LD|L'ecureuil: But we killed them
[06.03.2016 08:37:09] Rocky.Road: You killed the Order people?
[06.03.2016 08:37:14] Rocky.Road: Or the blue ships?
[06.03.2016 08:37:27] LD|L'ecureuil: Order
[06.03.2016 08:37:30] LD|L'ecureuil: And Blue
[06.03.2016 08:37:33] LD|L'ecureuil: Everyone
[06.03.2016 08:37:34] LD|L'ecureuil: ??
[06.03.2016 08:37:43] LD|L'ecureuil: 23#@#
[06.03.2016 08:38:03] LD|L'ecureuil: Uh
[06.03.2016 08:38:08] LD|L'ecureuil: I'm fine
[06.03.2016 08:38:22] Rocky.Road: I really dont think you are.
[06.03.2016 08:38:48] LD|L'ecureuil: Some coup of tea?
[06.03.2016 08:39:00] Rocky.Road: Nah, I need to head back.
[06.03.2016 08:39:13] Rocky.Road: I was a bit busy before but quite frankly I didnt think you'd make it back on your own.
[06.03.2016 08:39:16] LD|L'ecureuil: Thanks you
[06.03.2016 08:39:27] Rocky.Road: Will you be okay from here?
[06.03.2016 08:39:32] LD|L'ecureuil: Sure
[06.03.2016 08:39:53] Rocky.Road: Take care, I'll send a transmission to your people later to make sure you got back safely.
[06.03.2016 08:40:04] LD|L'ecureuil: Yep
[06.03.2016 08:40:07] LD|L'ecureuil: Good luck
[06.03.2016 08:40:14] Rocky.Road: You too, I think you need it more.
[06.03.2016 08:40:21] 2016-03-06 08:40:39 SMT Traffic control alert: LD|L'ecureuil has requested to dock
The place they parted ways was at Pelussin Base in Lyonnais, should Klara have not made it back safely. If needed we can discuss any details I may have left out during the actual transfer of goods.
