____ MESSAGE
Greetings,
You remember me right? We stumbled past each other just a day ago or something if i'm wrong please correct me, and refresh my memory.
How do you know about my parents? or the whereabouts of them? I know you said you watched me be born and my mother was unwell but why didn't you do anything to save her? I want answers about all of this and i want it now.
I've been waiting so long for answers, And suddenly someone like you pops out of the blue and says personal things like this? You better have a proper explanation for this. Or i am not going to be happy at all.
And it better be true, I don't have time to mess around.

[27.08.2016 13:43:49] Alky.Long.Journeys: Klaus: You old goof, isn't that the Spiteri person you told me about?
[27.08.2016 13:44:04] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: What?! The old Spiteris?! No way! They're probably dead!
[27.08.2016 13:44:45] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Uhhh... Auxesian, do you read?
[27.08.2016 13:44:46] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Wow? What?... How do YOU know about my family? Like who are you? .. I'm confused.
[27.08.2016 13:45:28] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: The name's Leonard Victor, captain of the Long Journeys, director of Alky Ltd. I... might know you.
[27.08.2016 13:46:41] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: I'm Orlando Spiteri.. Guardian in Auxesia. I've lost my parents, and you seem to know about it? You say there dead.
[27.08.2016 13:47:22] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Good god, you're their child! Now I remember! Holy crap, how long ago was that...?! Ten... no, twenty years ago?
[27.08.2016 13:47:53] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Oh wow.. How do you know such information? Did you fly with my father? or know my mother? What is this.
[27.08.2016 13:48:02] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Where you one of them rogues?
[27.08.2016 13:48:18] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: And n-no, no, you've got me wrong, I don't know whether they're dead or not.
[27.08.2016 13:49:03] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Quite frankly, I don't even remember their names... your surname is quite peculiar, though... THAT got attached to my
[27.08.2016 13:49:06] Alky.Long.Journeys: memory..
[27.08.2016 13:50:09] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: How so can you please explain? I dont feel comftable with this.. I feel like it's a trap.
[27.08.2016 13:50:35] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: I worked with Orbital Spa & Cruise twenty years ago as a planetary vessel pilot on Planet Curacao... yes...
[27.08.2016 13:51:07] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Tell more more about yourself.
[27.08.2016 13:52:14] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Myself? I'm more perplexed at how I found you randomly during a tourist route, to be honest!
[27.08.2016 13:52:48] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: God damn, the last time I saw you, you were a wee little lad... and now you're in that Battlegroup?! Wow...
[27.08.2016 13:53:05] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: My parents where taken from me, I dont know where they are, If i could find the answers, I would do anything.
[27.08.2016 13:54:16] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: I've heard. Your parents got taken by Liberty Rogues, right? Man... that was right after the squid crisis, too...
[27.08.2016 13:54:53] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Sorta after... 3 years after, I think. Jeez, I need a drink to remember all of this again.
[27.08.2016 13:55:03] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Do you have answers? Is what i want to know, I have been waiting 20 years for them.
[27.08.2016 13:55:04] Alky.Long.Journeys: Klaus: We're in the middle of a mission, idiot.
[27.08.2016 13:55:20] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Klaaaus! Be more educated to my "friend" here!
[27.08.2016 13:55:32] Alky.Long.Journeys: Klaus: I didn't call him an idiot. I called you an idiot.
[27.08.2016 13:56:28] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: I'd like to know your name and what do you do, Spiteri; before anything.
[27.08.2016 13:56:38] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Maybe it'll jog my memory.
[27.08.2016 13:57:44] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: I told you, I work in the Battlegroup Auxesia, I came from the Crayter Republic, I moved on.. That wasn't for me.
[27.08.2016 13:57:47] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: This is.
[27.08.2016 13:58:37] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Ah, right, sorry! This is a bit surprising for me. I have not seen the likes of you for 20 years... Jeez.
[27.08.2016 13:59:15] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: I got given to the Crayterians, Because i didn't have a family.. That's why i want answers. And I KNOW you have them.
[27.08.2016 13:59:51] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: By all means! I'll tell you everything I know... if I can... Hang on, let me check the archives...
[27.08.2016 14:00:54] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Hmm, while I look... I guess I can talk about the day you were born... I played a small part in it!
[27.08.2016 14:00:57] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: If you give me them, that would mean the world, I've been on a mission.. If i could find my parents alive. I'd be ~
[27.08.2016 14:00:59] A/)-Spiteri: Happy*
[27.08.2016 14:02:46] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: In fact, your mother was looking quite ill that day, yes... now I remember! What a day that was, I was only 45...
[27.08.2016 14:03:41] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: What do you mean ill? What happened to her? ..
[27.08.2016 14:03:45] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Your father was so worried too, quite the gentleman... I took them straight to the hospital that day...
[27.08.2016 14:03:55] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: She was about to give birth! *laughs* Sorry for worrying you.
[27.08.2016 14:04:46] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: You should've seen the looks on the EMT's faces infront of the hospital, when they saw a luxury planetary vessel
[27.08.2016 14:05:05] Alky.Long.Journeys: just pulling up with only four or five people on board... Oh man...
[27.08.2016 14:05:36] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Why didn't you ever save my mother? If you though she was ill .. How dare you leave her like that?
[27.08.2016 14:05:51] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: What do you mean?! Please calm down and listen to what I've said!
[27.08.2016 14:06:17] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: I told ye: I took your oldies to the hospital in the day that you were born. I wasn't going to hang around to SEE you
[27.08.2016 14:06:24] Alky.Long.Journeys: be born! That would be weird! AND I had a job to do!
[27.08.2016 14:07:31] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: Was she sick when she had me? Do you think she died, when she had me.
[27.08.2016 14:07:52] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: My father was the one who got taken by the rogues, that's only information i have.
[27.08.2016 14:07:53] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: I don't know, I doubt it. My ex-wife had a similar experience, and she's doing fine...
[27.08.2016 14:08:36] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Klaus, get me some of that Roussillonese Wine... This is gonna be tough to remember...
[27.08.2016 14:08:44] Alky.Long.Journeys: Klaus: You haven't talked to the Council about it, yet.
[27.08.2016 14:08:47] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Damn it.
[27.08.2016 14:10:21] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: I'm going to have to get going, I will need you to contact me with ride wange comms, I need answers.
[27.08.2016 14:10:28] A/)-Spiteri: Orlando: I shall talk with you soon.
[27.08.2016 14:10:35] Alky.Long.Journeys: Leonard: Right! See you!

(Leonard starts talking.) "Sometimes I wondered when this day would come, but I never imagined the child would be this impatient and forgetful! I only took your parents to the hospital shortly before your birth. That's how I met them. Good god, I was so nervous when I found you yesterday, I'm sorry for bumbling around with... words, back there. Crap, I'm doing it again. Must be age!"
(Leonard laughs, while more clicks and clacks are heard.) "Now... I'm still messing around with the archives - or at least with what I saved, from back then... twenty years is quite a long time, you see. I'm not really a data hoarder, so I've lost a lot of stuff. You should really tell me your parents' names, because looking up 'Spiteri' in the little neural net that I can access gives me little of value." (A short pause.)
"I'll stay in touch, kid. Once I find something, I'll send it straight away to you... I only ask for your cooperation so that we can get to the bottom of this. A quick summary of what you know right now could be helpful."

Greetings Again,
I will have to say i'm not very happy at all.
This feel as if it's some kind of trap, why should i tell you my parents names? So you can trace down records, Or seem to look like you are doing the friendly thing here? I refuse to give you any information, You say you know? So give me proof if so.
You could be one of them working with the rogues on my parents disappearance for all i know, Get back to me when you have proper information and don't go wasting my time or putting my hopes up.

"I'm not going to question your distrust, this is all very sudden for me, too - but! I always deliver, that's my motto. It took me way longer than it should have, but finally: I bring something to you in regards to Adrian Spiteri and Barbara Almedina! I have reason to believe that these people are your parents."
"For one, upon some meditation I distinctly remember your mother being called 'Ms. Almedina' and some affectionate nickname starting with a 'B' by your dad back in the date of your birth, with her calling him something like 'Adrian'."
(Leonard begins to wear a more concerned look.)
"Two, and this is where it gets better... sorta: I DID save a record of something about an 'Adrian Spiteri', from WAY back then... It's from a weird thing like a public news board, some smalltime self-reporting initiative that plummeted not long after it showed up. Now, I hope you brace yourself, this might not be easy to read if you haven't seen it before."

"Cortez pirate problem takes sharp turn with kidnapping of dozens of passengers" (BREAKING)
An unprecedented coordinated attack on AeroTravel Convoy One by the Liberty Rogues left authorities perplexed at how very little was concluded from initial investigations. Barely any wreckage of AeroTravel was found on scene, suggesting a deliberate attempt to erase evidence by the criminals.
Confirmation of Rogue involvement was only possible due to several of the passengers' family members being sent disturbing videos of their loved ones being assaulted by a masked man wearing pirate insignias, demanding exhorbitant amounts of credits in exchange for their freedom.

"Now... there's a few things you should know from this. One, AeroTravel was sorta like an independent space bus organization and they had a deal or two with OSC, I think; after this attack, they were completely dissolved. Second, the comment from this 'adrianS' bloke... He mentioned a 'Rockfell', I am relatively sure that he was mentioning Damon Rockfell, a Rogue pilot who wasn't super well-known but there were quite a few rumours of him hanging around at the time. It's been 20 years, but I still fear of being boarded by his little gang every time I cross through the Cortez system..."
"I don't think I need to explain my suspicions on that 'adrianS' fellow. It has to be him, that's your dad alright. As to why he made that post, on that specific place, I'm not sure. Maybe he liked the bulletin and that was his idea of a final note before he went on some sort of suicide mission, from the way he worded it. I REALLY don't know if I can get anything else from an 'adrianS' on the Neural Net, this record is almost 20 years old, it was the only one I saved at the time and not every server has good or readily-accessible archives. I doubt that the public board even exists at all today."
"This whole incident does raise a few interesting questions, though. Why did the Rogues attack AeroTravel so viciously? How did your father recognize Rockfell? What did he do, where did he go, how far has he gone? What does 'playing nice' mean? Unfortunately, I cannot provide answers to these, and I sincerely apologize. Aside from assuming that Adrian was a kickass fighter who had a thing or two running with shady people away from public eye, or at least, away enough for the entirety of the community in Curacao not to notice, I can't conclude much more."
"Speaking of eyes, I should go and get some shut-eye. I've been up quite late going through my stuff and browsing around for clues. I'll talk to you soon, Mr. Spiteri."
