To the attention of all OSC Captains
First I would like to thank Mr Wells and all of our staff for their reports on this matter, both present and forthcoming.
Unfortunately based upon the facts at hand and the reports currently submitted, there is little doubt in my mind that our famous Enterprise liners are reaching the end of their operational service. It is a sad day indeed to see our stoic workhorses beginning to fail and one I never envisioned coming to pass during my time here.
I have requested a projected outlook from both economic and service departments on gain an understanding of what impact this would have upon our company and how long we can maintain our current services, including the request of Mr Wells which I fully endorse and enact immediately.
I will take this opportunity to remind all staff that discussion of these reports are strictly prohibited outside our main offices, the last thing we need now is bad press.
Mr Wells, I must call upon you and your team to find a solution to this ever encroaching dilemma. Any current projects are to be considered frozen and top priority assigned to this task, the resources of OSC are at your disposal.

Message Beginning:
Good Morning!
After recieving word from something happening in Newcastle from both multiple neural net channels and the Shetland itself, I've moved out from Curacao to support our not anymore luxury liner in case anything happens. Getting there was already difficult enough, I was halted by a group of BPA and BAF vessels at the Newcastle gate in New London, but after a bit of talk and them realizing why I need o get trough ( and promising a weekend on Curacao for the officer in charge ) I was able to get past.
[08.01.2016 20:05:15] Angus.MacDougall: Spa and Cruise vessel
[08.01.2016 20:05:17] Angus.MacDougall: This is restricted space
[08.01.2016 20:05:21] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Easy here. Cut your engines.
[08.01.2016 20:05:22] HMS-Canterbury: OSC Cut your engines ASAP
[08.01.2016 20:05:31] Angus.MacDougall: We have tae ask ye to turn back I'm afraid
[08.01.2016 20:05:38] Angus.MacDougall: Admiral's orders and whatnot
[08.01.2016 20:05:44] OSC|Kira.Shino: Holy molly .. and was told pirates have no manners ..
[08.01.2016 20:05:44] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Newcastle is restricted currently
[08.01.2016 20:05:55] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Sorry, Kira-chan.
[08.01.2016 20:06:02] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Return to Southampton
[08.01.2016 20:06:06] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: MacAngus can be quite mean, I agree.
[08.01.2016 20:06:24] Angus.MacDougall: Miss Sandpaper, please be professional
[08.01.2016 20:06:33] OSC|Kira.Shino: Well, dear .. whoever you may be, the humble admiral must talk with my superiors on that matter, I was ordered to move to
[08.01.2016 20:06:54] OSC|Kira.Shino: Shetland to ensure security. Two of our security fightes are already present, I1m the third to arrive
[08.01.2016 20:07:03] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Unless we have proff of this. Then its not happening
[08.01.2016 20:07:11] Angus.MacDougall: I'm confirming it now
[08.01.2016 20:07:46] OSC|Kira.Shino: Well, don't get me wrong, but the Armed Forces already turned our Luxury Lner to a half-star student hostel,
[08.01.2016 20:07:56] OSC|Kira.Shino: so we don't really expect you would look after it much .
[08.01.2016 20:08:09] OSC|Kira.Shino: Thus we have to look after the old lady by ourselves
[08.01.2016 20:08:12] Angus.MacDougall: The Armed Forces have everything under control
[08.01.2016 20:08:17] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: The Bafies are there, Kira. I'm sure they are hard enough to protect the shiny liner, hm?
[08.01.2016 20:08:53] Angus.MacDougall: Proceed, Ms. Shino
[08.01.2016 20:09:00] Angus.MacDougall: Also watch out for the gunboat right next to you
[08.01.2016 20:09:02] OSC|Kira.Shino: Junko, with all due, if that would be true, we would have never had to evacuate it from Edinbourgh
[08.01.2016 20:09:04] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Hail, Londrian.

[08.01.2016 20:09:37] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Baf, that is.

[08.01.2016 20:10:29] OSC|Kira.Shino: Furhter more, the Armed Forces act like people don't know already what's happening in there.
[08.01.2016 20:10:36] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Since McAngus let you in. You can give us all a free hotel vacation on Curacao, can you not.
[08.01.2016 20:10:45] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Because we're nice, and all that sort of things.
[08.01.2016 20:10:56] Angus.MacDougall: As long as ye don't touch the things

[08.01.2016 20:12:49] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Negative
[08.01.2016 20:12:51] Angus.MacDougall: We've got strict orders not to let trading vessels in
[08.01.2016 20:12:55] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: No civilian entry.
[08.01.2016 20:12:55] Angus.MacDougall: You may pass, but not the others
[08.01.2016 20:13:20] OSC|Kira.Shino: This is such a comedy...
[08.01.2016 20:13:32] Kashija.Careena: Are you telling me that there is something I couldn't handle behind that gate?
[08.01.2016 20:13:40] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Is there a problem, Kira?
[08.01.2016 20:13:40] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Yes
[08.01.2016 20:13:47] Angus.MacDougall: We're saying that no civilian vessels are allowed in or out of the system
[08.01.2016 20:13:47] Kashija.Careena: *laughs* Ridiculous.
[08.01.2016 20:13:52] Kashija.Careena: And why would that be?
[08.01.2016 20:13:56] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: We dont care who you are or what you're doing. No Civilian Entry
[08.01.2016 20:14:10] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Oh nice. Order.
[08.01.2016 20:14:13] OSC|Kira.Shino: I wonder if the great Admiral will pay me my salary if I get fired for not reporting for duty on Shetland ..
[08.01.2016 20:14:17] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Order ship. Procceed through the gate
[08.01.2016 20:14:22] Angus.MacDougall: We already said you could go Kkira
[08.01.2016 20:14:29] Kashija.Careena: Order may proceed but not my clients?
[08.01.2016 20:14:29] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Go ahead Kira. You are free to move in, you know?
[08.01.2016 20:14:37] Angus.MacDougall: Your clients are civilian vessels
[08.01.2016 20:14:40] Angus.MacDougall: They may not pass
[08.01.2016 20:14:48] Kashija.Careena: You still didn't give me a reason.
[08.01.2016 20:14:49] Angus.MacDougall: Fragnar you must also turn back
[08.01.2016 20:14:52] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: Fragnar cut
[08.01.2016 20:14:58] Angus.MacDougall: The Armed Forces have the system on lockdown
[08.01.2016 20:15:01] Angus.MacDougall: That's all the reason you need
[08.01.2016 20:15:02] OSC|Kira.Shino: Ahh, all this chatter, I missed that part. Have fun then, I have to rush, I'm already late.
[08.01.2016 20:15:04] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: That said, you did not answer about Curacao.
[08.01.2016 20:15:19] Fragnar: what's going on?
[08.01.2016 20:15:19] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: No worries. Try to not get killed, hm?
[08.01.2016 20:15:27] Angus.MacDougall: System is on lockdown
[08.01.2016 20:15:28] Kashija.Careena: All the reason I need? Did you fall on your head? You would let me through but not tell me whats up?
[08.01.2016 20:15:33] Angus.MacDougall: No civilians may pass beyond this point
[08.01.2016 20:15:33] HMS-Canterbury: Lenzu: The System is on lock down
[08.01.2016 20:15:44] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Stop arguing with Angus, you fool.
[08.01.2016 20:15:45] Kashija.Careena: If I hear that one more time I will shoot you.
[08.01.2016 20:15:46] OSC|Kira.Shino: Junko, I'll personally arrange you a room for two with the best view on the ocean and the beach *smiles*
[08.01.2016 20:15:47] Fragnar: odd. ok
[08.01.2016 20:15:52] Angus.MacDougall: That'd be a bad idea
[08.01.2016 20:15:59] Angus.MacDougall: Thank ye very much Kira
[08.01.2016 20:16:08] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: You're an angel, Kira.
[08.01.2016 20:16:11] Bowex)Junko.Sanada: Arigato.
[08.01.2016 20:16:18] OSC|Kira.Shino: Nah, many tried to shoot me, and I'm still here *giggles* Sayonara !
As I got to Shetland, things started to get pretty interesting. Ran into a BMM freighter flying civlians out of the "military restircted" area, although people didn't seem to know exactly what's happening. I personally was suspecting the Gallics to be at it again, but after more and more vessels appeared which are usually not regular in the area, I was sure I'm wrong. First one was an Oucast battleship, Sarissa class, flying around like they are on a vacation, then came an entire Liberty Security Force welcome party and multiple Armed Forces vessels.
Then all of the sudden, neural net connecton in the system went black, we've lost waypoint bouy signals and radar connection, so we were basically blind. Scrange noises came through the coms for a few seconds, then connection got reestablished. From that point, Armed Forces vessels kept sending a message to all civilian vessels to evacuate the area.
Driven by curiosity, I went further on the lane to take a look at what is actually happening that made so many warships gather around the area. What I found wasn't really what I was expecting. Multiple warships were gathering near South Shield Refinery.
They seemd to be waiting for something, when my scanners showed something I've only saw on records before. If I may comment, it looked pretty much like something I saw related to the Nomad wars of 800 A.S. , but still something different. After a few minutes I've decided it's much safer to return to Shetland and warn their security teams to get ready for anything. I am on alert docked on Shetland in case anything we don't want to be here comes around.
Best regards:
Kira Shino
Security Officer

Good day everyone this is Director Kiko Saguma reporting to the Executive Board from Luxury Liner Shetland. Since my arrival due to the reports of the incident in New Castle there have been strange incidents happening on the Liner. Ranging from reactor fluctuation to full system failures. I am requesting we send our best engineers to see if the problem can be resolved.
Computer:ALERT! All systems down.
Reserve Oxygen: 90%
Back up power: 50%
Time to total failure 48 hours.
Damn it...please get them here fast ill do what I can from here.

Director Saguma we've dispatched a team of engineers to the Shetland, they should be with you in two hours along with a shipment of parts and oxygen that should hopefully stabilise the situation or at the very least buy you some time. If the issues have not been resolved before the 24 hour warning you are to follow the biohazard protocols and evacuate, I will ready the St. Lucia to handle the transportation and have her at your call within the hour.
Miss Shino reported a sizable military action taking place in Newcastle several days ago, has the Shetland taken aboard any personel or patients since that time? If so, we may need to involve the BAF and possibly the BIS.
Keep me informed of any new developments.

Kiko Saguma here reporting in that all ship functions are restored....but there is something strange happening here Mr. Pines. After the incident some what near Shetland it seems we received three individuals claiming to be Bretonian Armed Forces, yet they seem to have no form of Identification on them. They also seem to be very confused and keep demanding transport to Planet New London. As part of protocol 9 I have placed them under guard in the medical ward to be evaluated. I have tried to contact the Armed Forces but our Comm's Relay is down and am only able to broadcast from our private channels. Until I receive further order's the three will remain under guard till.....
A man stumbles through the door.
Ma'am one of the three men you had placed under guard has escaped and we cannot locate him...
What do you mean escaped...never mind I am initializing protocol 5 lock this place down and secure the entrances to our clients aboard.
Yes Ma'am!
Computer:Attention! This is a mandatory lockdown. This is not a drill all personnel are to secure all passengers to sector 4. Again this is not a drill.
I apologize sir seems we have a crisis. If you can reach out to the Armed Forces we may need them to figure out was is happening with those individuals.
Kiko Saguma out.

Security Commander Tyler Reks here!
After getting word from Director Saguma, I got some of my boys in shape , loaded all the fun stuff up along with a bunch of scrap metal to fill the holes of that rust bucket we call a Luxury Liner and headed out. We will be mooring to the Left B2 airlock and begin cleaning this mess up in no time. Just make sure no civilian gets in the way when we roll out!

Commander Reks and his team should be with you shortly to reinforce your position, we have transports and the St Lucia on standby should you need them. The Bretonian government will be notified immediately, however I would prefer to resolve this without involving the BAF directly as any potential contact with either Liberty or Bretonia could place our entire company under Gallic scrutiny, an unviting prospect given their proximity.
As for the individuals, I will defer to your judgement. If they can be taken alive without great risk then do so, if not you and your team have my authority to use lethal force if necessary.
In the meantime I would advise deploying the laser anntena to communicate with the Battleship MacDuff should the situation worsen, hopefully the Armed Forces haven't removed all the archaic systems from their fleet.
Good luck.

Dear OSC command,
I am contacting you to report a breach of security on-board the luxury liner Hawaii. It appears smugglers have managed to by-pass the scanners used during passenger boarding.
The issue came to light during a routine flight between the Luxury Liner Hawaii and Planet Manhattan. After i entered the New York system I was ordered to halt by a number of police ships. Their scanners had picked up a number of sorted artifacts on-board, these had not been identified or flagged up by our systems. Thankfully the objects were inert and the smugglers were apprehended by our security team and handed over to the Liberty police for questioning.
This is either a failing of our protocols or the systems aboard our current Enterprise class vessels. I urge other captains to be vigilant and keep security staff well drilled and suggest an investigation into the cause of the breach. Next time it might not be some inert artifacts!
Regards
Cpt. Daniel T Simpson

Captain Simpson,
I have just read your report and quite frankly I am shocked that our systems failed to detect the contraband on both the Hawaii and the Ascension. You and your staff are to be commended for your handling of the incident, though I suspect our tax bracket in Liberty may see a small rise in response.
I have actioned this issue for immediate investigation by our security department, the last thing we need is our liners becoming smuggler havens.

Chairman,
Today we almost lost the Atlantis, 3000+ passengers and over 100 VIP guests. While entering the Colorado system the Atlantis had a full reactor shutdown. At the same time we were jumped by a group of Lane Hackers, as if they knew the array was going to fail. Luckily A Liberty Navy Patrol and LPI interceptors came and saved the day. I've taken the Atlantis to Baltimore Shipyard for repairs. However I would like to contact both the Navy group and LPI group and offer them complementary vacations at our expense, given how expensive it would have been if they hadn't arrived in time.
