At first I have to excuse for not making a report sooner, however the operations in Kusari and Taus are taking a great deal of time. The first step of my assignment seems to be done - I have talked to the Kusari Naval Forces officers and it seems they are as concerned with the evergrowing threat of Cardamine as we are. The GC and Outcast influence in Kusari seems to be spreading and we must help to put an end to it. I will contact them in due course and maybe direct their attention to where we need it.
I also did some operations around the Taus, looking to talk to the IMG and maybe even GRN, but none of this has succeeded as of yet. The people met there are either too powerless or too busy with their matters. I hope we can make contact with them though. And, if I may suggest something, we also should be in contact with our neighbors around Sigmas and closer Omicrons.
I got our vessels registered on Samura Heavy Industries bounty board and made the first claim - they pay well for Outcasts and GC, we should be able to maximize our profits by exterminating them.
As for AlderFluid testing, it's been working flawlessly for now. The results are as expected, during more challenging combat tasks I find that it helps with concentration and keeping cold blood. I haven't noticed any side effects.
I wasn't planning on patrolling today, however it turned out to be a lot more interesting than I thought. First, a Rogue, then a Chrysanthemum (in Liberty!) and finally some infected forces. With that last matter, I believe, our Liberty Navy friends dealt with more than satisfactorily. I unfortunately didn't manage to secure any interesting cargo off the infected ships, but there will be more opportunities in the future I'm sure.
Oh, I don't know if that's important, but the GC was talking something about a book that is supposedly being kept in the Liberty national archives or something. The book had something to do with Golden Chrysanthemums, but I paid little attention to that blabbering.

Atka Research Station, Sigma-17
Sender: Jera, Wisp Innovations Recipient: Wisp Innovations Communications Centre Subject: What a day.
Greetings,
I launched from Atka earlier today and went around for a patrol through Kusari. I contacted a KNF officer that was engaged by GC outside Shinagawa Station in New Tokyo and along with Bennet rushed to help him. We managed to successfully fend off the assault, but my ship was heavily damaged and had to be serviced on Shinagawa.
After that was done, I had a meeting scheduled with an Order gentleman going by Axisdeus (all the relevant NN links are attached). Before that though, going through the nebula in Sigma-13 I found several freelancers with whom I had a short chat. At least one of them - the most interesting one for me, cause she carried Cardamine - was an ex-criminal (I would suppose GC) that decided to return back to the proper, socially-acceptable life. How noble. She even played along and received a bit of Stabiline samples in exchange for the Cardamine.
Later, I managed to talk to that Order gentleman. He said he talked to another Cryer group and a fellow by the name of Bob Clamor in regards to some alien organisms. I don't exactly know what they would be, but I suppose our research division would be interested. In the meantime a GMG transport was sniffing around Atka, I stopped him and questioned.
The meeting was disturbed by a group of Chrysanthemums that engaged just under Atka. The Order ran away, while I managed to take down two of their ships, before I had to eject myself. Fortunately some Corsairs found my escape pod and took it to Lagos and from there to Atka.
[W]-''Jera'': "Hello."
Flora: Good day.
Flora: Well, there is a Green Party in bretonian parliment.
[W]-''Jera'': "So what did I just find here?"
Flora: But we aren't technically working together.
Red.like.Roses: At least a try from the gaian party.
Flora: Just the same goal.
[W]-''Jera'': *clears throat*
Hana.Ken: Ah, I see. I think I'll visit these people at some point. *looks at Jera* Kon'nichiwa...
Flora: Okay.
[W]-''Jera'': "You have some rather disturbing stuff on your ship, Hana."
[W]-''Jera'': "Mind explaining how that orange dream got in there?"
Hana.Ken: The bare minimum to survive... Jera-san.
[W]-''Jera'': "Bare minimum is none."
Flora: Uhm.
Hana.Ken: None would kill me now, wouldn't it. *frowns*
Flora: Do you even know how Cardamine works?
[W]-''Jera'': "Stabiline exists for the people that got enough sense to try and stop the addiction."
Red.like.Roses: The problem is, you are still addicted even with stabiline.
Flora: it's like you'd try to stop your "addiction" to oxygen, eh.
Red.like.Roses: And cardamine is less expensive as stabiline for those who need it.
Hana.Ken: Funny you offer it... I cant seem to be able to purchase it from anywhere - so... you're trying to make a Catch-22, hai?
[W]-''Jera'': "Most lawful stations sell it. Including Atka, which is only a few clicks and one jumphole away."
Hana.Ken: They do indeed. They tend to shoot me, sadly. Makes purchasing it a little difficult at the moment.
[W]-''Jera'': "What a goddamn shame."
Hana.Ken: Quite. *raises an eyebrow*
[W]-''Jera'': "I somehow refuse to believe that a criminal who suddenly has a change of heart-
[W]-''Jera'': -can't find a way to return to a normal, socially acceptable lifestyle."
Flora: It's quite hard sometimes.
[W]-''Jera'': "Unless they don't try hard enough."
Red.like.Roses: That depends on the people too.
Hana.Ken: Give an ex-criminal a break, hai? *chuckles slightly* A couple of days is not a long time to rebuild a life.
[W]-''Jera'': *raises an eyebrow* "Obviously."
[W]-''Jera'': "But you will have to drop that Cardamine, like it or not."
Flora: Do you fly around and ask people to drop their oxygen tanks either?
Hana.Ken: If you replace it with a little stabaline to make sure I don't die... sure.
Red.like.Roses: *Giggles*
[W]-''Jera'': "You can come to Atka with me to ensure that."
Red.like.Roses: Now that sounds like a fair offer.
Flora: Sounds like a trap to me.
Red.like.Roses: Well, no risk, no fu.
Hana.Ken: *scratches her neck* Indeed it does. Agreed... and no surprise ambush or funny business, hai?
Red.like.Roses: *fun
Flora: Her call.
[W]-''Jera'': "Well, you don't have a guarantee."
[W]-''Jera'': "But it is better for you."
Flora: See?
Red.like.Roses: Don't worry Hana-san. I own a whole planet with that stuff. *smugs*
[W]-''Jera'': "So what's it gonna be, hm?"
Hana.Ken: In our business, there never is... *sighs* Very well. Let's try this Stabaline of yours.
[W]-''Jera'': "Very well. Follow me."
Flora: This is going to end up badly...
Red.like.Roses: Hm.
Hana.Ken: Must say... you are surprisingly proactive for a Cryer employee
[W]-''Jera'': "Elaborate?"
Hana.Ken: I do not think I've been approached as you did... almost like a patrol *chuckles slightly*
[W]-''Jera'': "I get paid for that."
Red.like.Roses: Oh well, that is the usual way of a worker.
Hana.Ken: *bows her head deeply* I appreciate this. Arigato.
[W]-''Jera'': *she nods* "Well."
[W]-''Jera'': "It should last you for a while. In the meantime, you should figure out a way to stop the lawfuls from hating you."
Hana.Ken: Agreed. *sighs* Turns out harder than I thought, but given time... *nods*
Red.like.Roses: A good start afterall.
Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[W]-''Jera'': *clears throat* "Seems I have a meeting underway..."
Red.like.Roses: Kon'nichiwa Order!
[W]-''Jera'': "Good day."
[W]-''Jera'': "Are you the man identifying himself as Axisdeus?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: *looks over to the group and wonders if now is a good time* Hello...
Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow* If, ur.... *scratches her neck* May I contact you for Stabline supply in case things... go south?
Red.like.Roses: Don't be so shy. *smugs slightly*
[W]-''Jera'': "I think so, yes."
[W]-''Jera'': "Though, mind you, I'm not always here."
[W]-''Jera'': "I'm a busy woman."
Hana.Ken: Understandable. We'll leave you to it *bows her head*
[W]-''Jera'': *she nods* "Good."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: *receives the call and adds* I might be...who's asking?
[W]-''Jera'': "I think that's all the time I can devote to you, good bye."
[W]-''Jera'': "My name is Jera. I responded to your transmission."
[W]-''Jera'': "You said you have a business proposition of some description."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: In that case, I am Axisdeus. Good to see you.
[W]-''Jera'': "I am eager to hear it."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might. I had a most pleasent pre-deal talk iwht a certain Bob Clamor...he said he was a high ranking in your ranks.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Seems I might have been mislead...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anyways, I am here to talk the deal not what has been, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "I am not quite sure who you speak of."
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, that might have been someone from Cryer, we have little dealings with them apart from being able to rent a third-
[W]-''Jera'': -of Atka."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: *scratches his head* Well, what has been has been. Now matters what can be...
[W]-''Jera'': "Well. I'm listening."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: So, are you into research like your 'unknown' buddy I've talked to a while back?
[W]-''Jera'': "We are, indeed, focused on researching new pharmaceuticals."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And I guess you could use research materials, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "Naturally."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Your buddy there told me of how valuable Alien Organisms can be...
[W]-''Jera'': "They are indeed."
[W]-''Jera'': "Though, they aren't really used for research."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might have a whoel filed of them, untapped yet...fresh...unspoiled...
[W]-''Jera'': "Cryer in the past studied quite extensively one particular branch of alien bacteria...
[W]-''Jera'': The name escapes me, but it's one of the key ingredients of Stabiline."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I see...so you used them for soemthing at least, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "We did and we continue to do so, yes."
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, the organisms you have may not be the same as the ones we've already researched..."
[W]-''Jera'': "Hold on a second."
[W]-''Jera'': "GMG, what are you doing here?"
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: That's strange. Why would you question the GMGs presense in the Sigmas?
[W]-''Jera'': "I am questioning your presence at Atka."
[W]-''Jera'': "You have to excuse me, that's my job."
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: Samura doesn't like us poking around here much, so I came here to see if there were any cryer reps who could...better our...
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: ...relations
[W]-''Jera'': "Our relations will not be any better until GMG stops tolerating or even endorsing GC presence in the Sigmas."
[W]-''Jera'': "Now, I suggest you get out of here."
Ashigawa.Ryuushiro: Do not misinterpret my actions as compliance, Cryer agent. I simply have better work elsewhere.
[W]-''Jera'': "I don't really care."
[W]-''Jera'': "Anyway."
[W]-''Jera'': "As I said, the organisms you have might be the same or might be completely different than the ones we already know."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I understand the organisms we have might not be what you;ve already studied
[W]-''Jera'': "Exactly."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: But may as well be those, or others or many more...
[W]-''Jera'': "Then again, they might be something we /have/ studied and proven to be worthless."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: So, the bottom line question is...are you willing to put some effort into finding out?
[W]-''Jera'': "Surely."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: You must know I got no way to figure that for myself.
[W]-''Jera'': "We will see if these are something we already know, and if they aren't, well look into how they could be used."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: All I have is a whole space filled with that slimy stuff that cloggs our exhausts...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And your buddy told me they might be quite usefull.
[W]-''Jera'': "Slimey?"
[W]-''Jera'': "Are you 100% sure we're on the same page here?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Aren't we.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I might be wrong...
[W]-''Jera'': "Well, the alien organisms we've researched are bacteria, as they are the only lifeform that can be alive in space."
[W]-''Jera'': "Apart from the Nomads... of course."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anyways...I have a whole 'field' of those.
[W]-''Jera'': "'Slime' doesn't exactly sound like anything that could be alive.
[W]-''Jera'': *sighs*

Atka Research Station, Sigma-17
Sender: Jera, Wisp Innovations Recipient: Wisp Innovations Communications Centre Subject: A meeting with O'Rhu.
Good day.
Yesterday I conducted a meeting with an O'Rhu operative, as a continuation of the one that was interrupted by the GC. The conclusion is that we received a sample of something that could be a new branch of alien organisms. That O'Rhu encouraged us to have a look at them, since it seems that those organisms could be something interesting. I'd recommend passing those samples to our research division, I left them in the usual place.
[W]-''Jera'': "Oh."
[W]-''Jera'': "Hello there."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Hello, Doc.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Mind if we go a bit off from the regular patrol routes?
[W]-''Jera'': "I suppose so."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: This suffices...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I hope you got my message...
[W]-''Jera'': "I did, yes."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: The other Doc said it would be best to first analyze the organisms, so he asked for soem samples.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I presumed this is standard for your job...I hope I am not mistaking.
[W]-''Jera'': "I agree, we will pass this through to our researchers."
[W]-''Jera'': "Not for me personally."
[W]-''Jera'': "I'm a security division pilot."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I see...sorry then for calling you Doc...earlier..
[W]-''Jera'': *she smiles* "Yeah, I suppose I should have mentioned that. I didn't have the opportunities for higher education in general."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: That holds no importance what so ever out here...*smiles*
[W]-''Jera'': "Well..."
[W]-''Jera'': "I don't certainly agree, but I get your point."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Now, your guys in the labs will figure our...recovering methods are not that classy...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: As we do not have the...proper means to do so...
[W]-''Jera'': "I can understand, everything around here is pretty... well... rugged."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I do hope, in eventuality a deal is struck, you group can ...donate one craft, a small collector vessel?
[W]-''Jera'': "What kind of vessel?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I saw some...those Samura were using...
[W]-''Jera'': "Hmmm... Stinger?"
[W]-''Jera'': "Or, well, as they call it down in Kusari, 'Sutinga'."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I do not know...what are htey using for collectign these?
[W]-''Jera'': "I don't think Samura are actually collecting this from space."
[W]-''Jera'': "They get it from Kurile."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: In any case, at least the collecting equipemnt. I am sure we can make use of it in a vessel more easely acquireable -
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: -by our lot.
[W]-''Jera'': "Hm... that depends."
[W]-''Jera'': "We would probably have to develop such collection gear."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Oh...please explain.
[W]-''Jera'': "That depends from where the organisms are harvested."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Well, I was expecting your group to already have that figured by now...
[W]-''Jera'': "We have it figured out, however our collection methods are suitable for bacteria."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Thing is, the position of the filed makes it so only us could ever collect them. You will be the receiver of the goo.
[W]-''Jera'': "What you said you have seems to be a bit more sophisticated than single-cell organisms."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: god knows what I have...you can ask your Lab coats...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: All I know is there and it might be bacterial as well.
[W]-''Jera'': "I will... they will probably conduct some testing on how to collect those efficiently.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: //do ontstuck on what ?I said by slimey...just me being dumb.
[W]-''Jera'': "They might require some data on the natural environment of those organisms..."
[W]-''Jera'': "Of course I'd imagine the easiest thing to do would be to put them on a ship and have Bennet deliver them to wherever-
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: That can be arranged, but only through us.
[W]-''Jera'': -you're collecting those. But if that can't be done, you'd have to provide that data yourselves."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: The location is a bit of a sensitive matter.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: We got our guys to run soem testes, provided the proper equipment.
[W]-''Jera'': "Yeah, that should not be difficult."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: What we missing is the tech itself...you can figure why...
[W]-''Jera'': "I can imagine. Well, the survey equipment is not very sophisticated. It just collects the most basic of data."
[W]-''Jera'': "Temperature, gravity and so on."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anyways, I am not sure what others ask for these, for what is worth, I do not really care...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I see...if that is the case, that can be done...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: If this bacthes proves usefull, I presume you can finance this survey equipment?
[W]-''Jera'': "Well. Survey equipment should be readily available on Atka."
[W]-''Jera'': "Collection equipment though will only be developed if the organisms are actually worth anything."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I understand, makes sense.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: So, to keep things short, I am willing to deal my filed here in exchange of meds.
[W]-''Jera'': "What meds?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And a few credits from time to time...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Generic stuff, a few loads from time to time, lost ot the "scums in the Omicrons" .
[W]-''Jera'': "Where would you need those to be delivered?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axideus: I presume a company of your prestige won;t like to be set aside with us.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Those are details to be figured out later.
[W]-''Jera'': "Well. In the border worlds and omicrons, it really doesn't matter."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axiusdeus: Well, there are peopel looking around here.
[W]-''Jera'': "Thing is, our transport division is... uh... lacking, to say the least."
[W]-''Jera'': "We actually only have a couple of transports."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I would feel more at ease doing this under the radar.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Well, I can send my peopel to pick up stuff at the Minor anomaly.
[W]-''Jera'': *raises an eyebrow* "Hm?"
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: And you can say you lost that cargo.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: More in due time. For now, let's not get ahead of us, right?
[W]-''Jera'': "It should work, I suppose."
[W]-''Jera'': "Well, this is a sizeable endeavour. It will require some time to get through in the company."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I got the 7 batches here. I kept them as 'fresh' as I could.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I will call this a small incentive.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I do hope they are worth the trouble.
[W]-''Jera'': "We shall see."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I will fly by Atka and drop them there...your guys can pick them up from there...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Does this work?
[W]-''Jera'': I believe so, yes.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Anything else, you can contact me on the channel established.
[W]-''Jera'': "Naturally."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: If you have nay other....unclarities?!?
[W]-''Jera'': "I don't, I'm just a messenger. I will deliver the response from the management in due course."
[W]-''Jera'': "That is, when they actually formulate it. Shouldn't be too hard."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: I see...I will wait then.
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: meanwhile, accompany me to see for the safety of the package?
[W]-''Jera'': "All right."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Package ready to release...
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Stay safe...
[W]-''Jera'': "All right."
[W]-''Jera'': "Thank you... Axisdeus."
[W]-''Jera'': "Farewell."
O'Rhu|SB-Nammer: Axisdeus: Good bye...
During a patrol in Sigma-19 the Rubedo squadron, which I led, destroyed a Sisterhood of Dreams vessel. The operation was conducted cleanly and without any major upsets. Both of us engaged, however I pulled out after the ships shield were downed. Rubedo 2 completed the entire fight on their own and didn't take any major damage.
I went on a short patrol around the Tau-37 system today and it was rather eventful. I was told that the Independent Miners Guild were transporting commodities between their installations and I made sure that nothing harassed them on the way.
The first encounter was a Golden Chrysanthemum pirate transport full to the brim with Cardamine. After some convincing that person dropped its stuff and went back to Omicron-80.
I expected it to come back and stayed at the jump hole, however instead an AM tagged ship came out. We had some previous encounters with them, I questioned it on the subject of Cardamine and the fact that their employees were rather openly using it. You can find the conversation log attached.
Then I went to swap ships with one of the Albedo squadron ones, and on the way back I found a secondary fleet Gallic Royal Navy fighter. It seems that some of the Gallic are in fact really reasonable and it's just a bit of a shame that their leaders refuse to accept some facts.
[22.11.2015 20:22:57] [W]-''Jera": Hm.
[22.11.2015 20:23:01] AM}-H-"Oranos": Good day.
[22.11.2015 20:23:04] [W]-''Jera": I quite honestly expected that GC to come back here.
[22.11.2015 20:23:09] [W]-''Jera": Greetings.
[22.11.2015 20:23:23] AM}-H-"Oranos": Those women?
[22.11.2015 20:23:34] [W]-''Jera": One of them I caught here.
[22.11.2015 20:23:38] [W]-''Jera": Right here, actually.
[22.11.2015 20:23:45] [W]-''Jera": Hauling pretty dangerous amounts of the orange menace.
[22.11.2015 20:23:57] IMG|Palawan: Heh, dangerous for her.
[22.11.2015 20:24:29] AM}-H-"Oranos": Didn't see one as i passed though.
[22.11.2015 20:24:32] [W]-''Jera": Well, one of your guys was /also/ found hauling that stuff in Kusari a while ago.
[22.11.2015 20:24:53] AM}-H-"Oranos": Yes, one of my employees is of Maltese decent.
[22.11.2015 20:25:21] [W]-''Jera": And you are also coming to this system pretty much directly from Outcast space... Quite suspicious, wouldn't you agree?
[22.11.2015 20:25:22] AM}-H-"Oranos": But I've put him on strings, I normally only let him ship to and from Bretonia unless otherwise.
[22.11.2015 20:25:43] AM}-H-"Oranos": We get passage rights, nothing more.
[22.11.2015 20:25:55] [W]-''Jera": Well, there is a good alternative to Cardamine he could be using.
[22.11.2015 20:26:06] AM}-H-"Oranos": A good alternative that takes years of steps.
[22.11.2015 20:26:26] [W]-''Jera": You have to start somewhere.
[22.11.2015 20:26:27] AM}-H-"Oranos": And i mean /good/ that man would be exiled from his family if he was caught using it.
[22.11.2015 20:26:51] AM}-H-"Oranos": I want whats best for my employees.
[22.11.2015 20:26:56] AM}-H-"Oranos": As much as you possibly do.
[22.11.2015 20:27:02] [W]-''Jera": I have no employees.
[22.11.2015 20:27:06] [W]-''Jera": I am one myself.
[22.11.2015 20:27:19] AM}-H-"Oranos": So am I, but you got to have managers.
[22.11.2015 20:27:26] AM}-H-"Oranos": I'm a manager myself.
[22.11.2015 20:27:33] AM}-H-"Oranos": Chain would be all... Broken.
[22.11.2015 20:27:36] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Julia: Greetings, Sir.
[22.11.2015 20:27:41] AM}-H-"Oranos": Good day.
[22.11.2015 20:27:44] [W]-''Jera": But... *shakes her head* Cryer just has to perfect Stabiline for Cardamine to be completely prohibited in Bretonia.
[22.11.2015 20:27:48] [W]-''Jera": It's just a matter of time.
[22.11.2015 20:28:49] AM}-H-"Oranos": If you can perfect a stabaline, that can completely change the dependancy from the Organic substance.
[22.11.2015 20:28:56] AM}-H-"Oranos": Then i shall consider using it.
[22.11.2015 20:29:24] AM}-H-"Oranos": But for now, my employees, that are currently under the effects of it.
[22.11.2015 20:29:31] [W]-''Jera": Matter of time, as I said.
[22.11.2015 20:29:48] AM}-H-"Oranos": Matter of time, but how long that is.
[22.11.2015 20:29:53] [W]-''Jera": Stabiline research is not my area of expertise.
[22.11.2015 20:30:09] AM}-H-"Oranos": Looking at the state of Bretonia, would they even want to break their current friendships with the Maltese.
[22.11.2015 20:30:22] AM}-H-"Oranos": Especially with the Gauls at the front door.
[22.11.2015 20:30:29] [W]-''Jera": "Friendship" is an overstatement here, I would think.
[22.11.2015 20:30:33] AM}-H-"Oranos": They wouldn't want to upset a possibly friend against the fight.
[22.11.2015 20:30:53] [W]-''Jera": With Liberty withdrawing from the war with Rheinland, Gallic's days are counted.
[22.11.2015 20:30:56] AM}-H-"Oranos": They both fight the Gauls, and they are also struggling against the corsairs, it would be unwise to make another enemy.
[22.11.2015 20:31:54] AM}-H-"Oranos": But anyway, don't you think its better for those Maltese to be shipping goods and supplies other than Cardamine?
[22.11.2015 20:32:10] AM}-H-"Oranos": Because i openly employ them and give them a clean chance to do that.
[22.11.2015 20:32:28] [W]-''Jera": Maltese, in itself, have no place in Sirius.
[22.11.2015 20:32:46] AM}-H-"Oranos": Errr... Looking at its alignment with the Sector...
[22.11.2015 20:32:47] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Julia: I would agree there, definitely.
[22.11.2015 20:32:49] [W]-''Jera": What they consider their blessing, will ultimately be their undoing.
[22.11.2015 20:32:56] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: All they cause is misery in humanity.
[22.11.2015 20:33:00] AM}-H-"Oranos": It is... In sirius, and it has its place.
[22.11.2015 20:35:30] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Hello there GRN.
[22.11.2015 20:35:40] Elise.Dubois: Salut, Cryer
[22.11.2015 20:35:46] Elise.Dubois: How are you?
[22.11.2015 20:35:57] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Very well, in fact, thank you.
[22.11.2015 20:36:07] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Having made a smuggler run always makes my day brighter.
[22.11.2015 20:36:32] Elise.Dubois: Well, thats your business, not mine.
[22.11.2015 20:36:44] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Hm? I would expect quite the contrary.
[22.11.2015 20:36:54] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: After all, Cardamine is everyone's problem in this region of Sirius.
[22.11.2015 20:36:57] Elise.Dubois: It depends on what you smuggled, really.
[22.11.2015 20:38:04] Elise.Dubois: I'd take offense to it if you supplied others with Cardamine, but its medicine against cardamine, i can do nothing but approve-
[22.11.2015 20:38:06] His.Six.Hoofs: Well, well, well.
[22.11.2015 20:38:08] Elise.Dubois: in all fairness.
[22.11.2015 20:38:21] His.Six.Hoofs: Three people, drinking, and we are not invited!
[22.11.2015 20:38:47] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: There is no drinking going on here.
[22.11.2015 20:39:01] Elise.Dubois: Mhmm
[22.11.2015 20:39:02] His.Six.Hoofs: Oh huh. Not exciting, then.
[22.11.2015 20:39:47] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: I'm glad there are some Gallic that don't openly hate us.
[22.11.2015 20:40:02] Elise.Dubois: Hmm
[22.11.2015 20:40:11] Elise.Dubois: In all fairness, i find this war to be rather pointless
[22.11.2015 20:40:13] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: After all, the frontline should know what is best for them, while the officers in their ivory towers have no idea about-
[22.11.2015 20:40:16] [W]-Albedo.1: -what's going on here.
[22.11.2015 20:40:45] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: The war is... a problem.
[22.11.2015 20:40:56] Elise.Dubois: I personally ensure that the Outcasts are put to a halt.
[22.11.2015 20:41:01] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: But it happened, so we should not consider what would be if it didn't.
[22.11.2015 20:41:10] Elise.Dubois: Mhmm
[22.11.2015 20:41:21] Elise.Dubois: Nothing we can change about the facts.
[22.11.2015 20:41:37] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: The fact that Bretonia has engaged in a rather questionable friendship with the orange scum is an issue.
[22.11.2015 20:41:45] Elise.Dubois: It is
[22.11.2015 20:42:15] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: If the Gallic onslaught stops, or at the very least wears down a little, we might push the prohibition of Cardamine again
[22.11.2015 20:42:16] Elise.Dubois: They prolly went with "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic
[22.11.2015 20:42:18] [W]-Albedo.1: into Bretonia.
[22.11.2015 20:42:56] Elise.Dubois: I specifically asked not to be put on the bretonian frontline.
[22.11.2015 20:43:33] Elise.Dubois: They mostly just send me out on a recon mission, or to fight off a group of sniffers in the taus and whatever lies beyond.
[22.11.2015 20:43:38] Elise.Dubois: Though
[22.11.2015 20:43:42] Elise.Dubois: Recently
[22.11.2015 20:43:48] Elise.Dubois: I have seen some odd things fly past
[22.11.2015 20:43:56] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Such as?
[22.11.2015 20:44:06] Elise.Dubois: Perhaps you have seen them
[22.11.2015 20:44:27] Elise.Dubois: They look like glowing, purple-pink-ish missiles with attachments to them.
[22.11.2015 20:44:33] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Nomads.
[22.11.2015 20:44:46] Elise.Dubois: Oh, is that what they mean with Nomads here?
[22.11.2015 20:44:48] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: We did see them, yes. We even killed several.
[22.11.2015 20:44:57] Elise.Dubois: Are they dangerous?
[22.11.2015 20:45:04] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Depends what you mean by dangerous.
[22.11.2015 20:45:10] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: For a stray and lone pilot, yes.
[22.11.2015 20:45:19] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: But they would likely not dare attack a larger group.
[22.11.2015 20:45:36] Elise.Dubois: All i remember is that it wanted to come close to me, and in the proceedings my head started to hurt.
[22.11.2015 20:45:40] Elise.Dubois: I flew away at that point
[22.11.2015 20:45:41] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: But, it is said, that Outcasts have engaged in somewhat of a /relationship/ with those aliens.
[22.11.2015 20:45:58] Elise.Dubois: Hmm
[22.11.2015 20:46:24] Elise.Dubois: Some of my fellow pilots met such things
[22.11.2015 20:46:29] Elise.Dubois: And acted very strangely afterwards
[22.11.2015 20:46:53] Elise.Dubois: Like, they are not themselves anymore
[22.11.2015 20:47:13] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: I would prefer not to talk about them too much...
[22.11.2015 20:47:39] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: But I would adivse you and your pilots stick as far away as possible or destroy them on sight.
[22.11.2015 20:48:07] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: They have been known to induce slight... hallucinations to some people.
[22.11.2015 20:48:14] Elise.Dubois: Okay
[22.11.2015 20:48:17] Elise.Dubois: Good to know
[22.11.2015 20:48:44] Elise.Dubois: I have never heard about your specific group before
[22.11.2015 20:49:02] Elise.Dubois: I mean, i have heard about Cryer. But your specific branche is unfamiliar to myself.
[22.11.2015 20:49:08] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: We are a subsidiary of Cryer, called Wisp Innovations.
[22.11.2015 20:49:21] Elise.Dubois: Interesting.
[22.11.2015 20:49:27] Elise.Dubois: What sets you apart from them?
[22.11.2015 20:49:40] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: As Cryer generally is affiliated with Liberty, we operate directly from the Sigmas and thus don't involve in politics-
[22.11.2015 20:49:42] [W]-Albedo.1: -that much.
[22.11.2015 20:50:04] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Our goal is, quite frankly, very much aligned with yours. It is disrupting and hopefully ultimately ending Cardamine-
[22.11.2015 20:50:13] [W]-Albedo.1: -influence in the Sirius borderworlds.
[22.11.2015 20:50:20] Elise.Dubois: The Sigmas... hmm. Isnt that the part of space beneath Kusari?
[22.11.2015 20:50:34] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: It is to the galactic east from Kusari, yes.
[22.11.2015 20:50:49] Elise.Dubois: Hmm, i was going to be sent there in a few weeks
[22.11.2015 20:50:57] Elise.Dubois: On a recon mission
[22.11.2015 20:51:10] Elise.Dubois: Anything you can tell me about that part of space?
[22.11.2015 20:51:33] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: GMG, Chrysanthemums, Outcasts, Corsairs...
[22.11.2015 20:51:45] Elise.Dubois: Corsairs.. yugh
[22.11.2015 20:51:51] Elise.Dubois: Savage animals
[22.11.2015 20:51:52] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: GMG are the miners that supply the rest of Sirius with fuel.
[22.11.2015 20:52:10] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Chrysanthemums are ideological terrorists of the worst sort, also tend to haul Cardamine.
[22.11.2015 20:52:22] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Outcasts, well, we have already established why they're a danger.
[22.11.2015 20:52:26] Elise.Dubois: Hmm, the GC.
[22.11.2015 20:52:41] Elise.Dubois: I fought them on several occasions.
[22.11.2015 20:52:43] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: And Corsairs... I don't particularly mind. I was actually born a Corsair.
[22.11.2015 20:52:57] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: But that information is... classified.
[22.11.2015 20:53:09] Elise.Dubois: Doesnt matter what you were born as, what matters is what you are now.
[22.11.2015 20:53:46] Elise.Dubois: I-uhhh, should get back to my patrol before im missed
[22.11.2015 20:53:51] Elise.Dubois: You stay safe, will you?
[22.11.2015 20:54:02] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Sure.
[22.11.2015 20:54:04] [W]-Albedo.1: Jera: Farewell.
[22.11.2015 20:54:08] Elise.Dubois: Good, au revoir.

Greetings,
I managed to secure a deal with the Independent Miners Guild according to which we will assist them in stopping Cardamine smugglers going through the Tau corridor and, if captured, delivering them to a rehab facility on Fort Siloso.
With that in mind, the Security Division agents and the Albedo squadron deployed in the Taus are going to stage from Falkland Base in the Malvinas Cloud, Tau-37.
The IMG have also requested deliveries of Stabiline, paying $3500 credits per unit. Transport captains will be filled in by Birch before long.
Today me and mister Birch went out on a small tour of Sirius. We started with dropping off some Stabiline at Fort Siloso. From there we took some Niobium Ores towards Planet Denver in Colorado, and went onwards to Cambridge with pharmaceuticals. Then we went towards Crete with a load of Med-Stasis bands and ended our delivery with a load of Artifacts headed for Luxury Liner Hawaii.
There wasnt much activity on the route, except for one unknown hostile vessel We made it through without any problems.
I have attached the delivery notes of the Stabiline below.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Sender: Sasha Stone, Wisp Innovations Recipient: Wisp Innovations Communications Centre Subject: Note of absence
As you have noticed I have been missing in action for a month now, with a good reason tho. As you know I live on Ames Research Station and with all the Xeno and Rogue attacks in the system, particularly Xenos getting quite active around the area this month, I had to stick around to treat emergencies. One trade vessel down means a hundred crew members that nead treatment. So I couldn't find myself around enough time to even contact you about my absence.
But as things have calmed my help isn't needed there anymore, for now. So I'm available again for any work that might be around.
