Quite an interesting occasion i have observed this morning in Bering. It was the vessel infamous among the rotten ranks of the corporate patsies calling themselves Liberty Navy - The Amenhotep itself floating above the Marshall Station.
It's captain greeted me as i have approached, and we've had a pleasing and fruitful conversation.
Guncam recording and network logs will be applied below. It appears that he soon will hold a discussion with Miss Jade Linford in regards to the current situation in Bering, and i expect to receive the logs of that discussion soon enough, and that is hopefully going to be not the last package of information that will help us to affect the current state of affairs there.
[19.08.2018 04:33:21] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: We have you on approach Felicity. Welcome.
[19.08.2018 04:34:11] LH~Felicity.Willing: Good afternoon, Mr.Kalh. [19.08.2018 04:34:20] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Always a pleasure.
[19.08.2018 04:34:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: Honestly, it is a little surprising to see you here. [19.08.2018 04:35:06] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: How so? You know Harmony see eye to eye.
[19.08.2018 04:35:17] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: With The Amenhotep.
[19.08.2018 04:35:48] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, Harmony requested your presence? [19.08.2018 04:36:49] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Negative, I dont requier permission to visit. I am here merely "checking in" per say.
[19.08.2018 04:37:33] LH~Felicity.Willing: I see. A mere visit of pure friendship, is it? [19.08.2018 04:38:32] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: You took the words right out of my mouth. I also wanted to see if Harmony has any updates on the Nomads in
[19.08.2018 04:38:34] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Liberty.
[19.08.2018 04:39:13] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, you are not aware of the recent drama occurance right under their noses, here, in Bering? [19.08.2018 04:39:53] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I have heard the Rumors, I am sure with my visid, Captain Linford will fill me in.
[19.08.2018 04:40:44] LH~Felicity.Willing: I could 'fill you in' right away, if you desire. From a standpoint of a certain person who have been eager to share what he-
[19.08.2018 04:40:52] LH~Felicity.Willing: -withnessed back in the day. [19.08.2018 04:41:40] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: You have my attention Felicity, please continue.
[19.08.2018 04:42:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: In short - after a long and heated argument, Harmony command personel gave an order to openly engage Alster Union agent.
[19.08.2018 04:43:26] LH~Felicity.Willing: The reason for this were the Alster Union acquiring certain... incriminating evidence against the Battlegroup.
[19.08.2018 04:44:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: Soon after, a Nuclear EMP payload have struck Pacifica. Launched by Hellfire Legion.
[19.08.2018 04:45:13] LH~Felicity.Willing: So, basically - Harmony turned their backs on those who once ensured their survival and granted them refuge.
[19.08.2018 04:45:22] LH~Felicity.Willing: In attempt to hide their own flaws. [19.08.2018 04:45:35] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: What incriminating evidence did the Union have?
[19.08.2018 04:46:17] LH~Felicity.Willing: Of Harmony falling to collaborate with Hellfire Legion. The latter occurance have only prooven that stance.
[19.08.2018 04:46:57] LH~Felicity.Willing: Like, why else would a person in his sane mind utilize a nuclear EMP warhead?
[19.08.2018 04:47:19] LH~Felicity.Willing: If they were not provoked to do this - they were asked to do this.
[19.08.2018 04:47:44] LH~Felicity.Willing: And they considered it a good opportunity to 'get rid of the scum' at the Liberty's backyard. [19.08.2018 04:48:19] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I dont really know what to say... This is unfortunate at best.
[19.08.2018 04:48:51] LH~Felicity.Willing: This is not the smartest move from Harmony - at best. [19.08.2018 04:49:23] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Bering is now weaker for it, once Liberty finds out the discord between Harmony and The Unioners they will strike.
[19.08.2018 04:50:30] LH~Felicity.Willing: This might be the end of Liberty separatists, as the Navy is known for capability of assembling... an overwhelming force.
[19.08.2018 04:50:57] LH~Felicity.Willing: I am also certain about mercenary groups will be eager to mess around for their paychecks. [19.08.2018 04:51:21] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: If I may ask, what is the Lane Hackers view point on this issue?
[19.08.2018 04:51:24] LH~Felicity.Willing: War is the creed of soldiers - and mercenaries.
[19.08.2018 04:51:52] LH~Felicity.Willing: Professors have decided to maintain neutral stance and pick no sides. [19.08.2018 04:52:15] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: A fair and just move.
[19.08.2018 04:52:19] LH~Felicity.Willing: However, it was made clear that we will not tolerate misuse of our technologies - against the Alster Union.
[19.08.2018 04:52:55] LH~Felicity.Willing: Hopefully, this will hinder the conflict for a while.
[19.08.2018 04:53:26] LH~Felicity.Willing: During this time i might prepare some personal 'trap cards' to end this heresy.
[19.08.2018 04:53:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: In a way beneficial for us. [19.08.2018 04:54:42] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Harmony will just use thier Naval assets if needed. Trying to stop a war is hard to acomplish, must be some heavy cards.
[19.08.2018 04:54:56] LH~Felicity.Willing: As a brief summary... Harmony should not forget it's roots and who pulled them out of the dirt they found themselves in.
[19.08.2018 04:55:37] LH~Felicity.Willing: Stopping a war was never an easy task. However, we might bring in the best conditions to accomplish the task.
[19.08.2018 04:55:52] LH~Felicity.Willing: And then - just entrust everything to the luck of the draw.
[19.08.2018 04:56:07] LH~Felicity.Willing: The game have already begun, Mr.Kalh. [19.08.2018 04:56:37] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Indeed it has, and it seems im on the fence here.
[19.08.2018 04:57:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: If everything plays along correctly - this hopefully will resolve peacefully. Defeat is unacceptable. [19.08.2018 04:59:02] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I am upset to be really honest. This conflict is going to cost time in the efforts against the Infected Forces.
[19.08.2018 04:59:48] LH~Felicity.Willing: Perhaps, you should remind Miss Linford of their true purpose. On personal meeting.
[19.08.2018 05:00:11] LH~Felicity.Willing: Remind them that these minor quarrels are harmful for Battlegroup in the first place.
[19.08.2018 05:00:56] LH~Felicity.Willing: It wouldn't take much of an effort to cut them down now and turn this system into a deserted graveyard.
[19.08.2018 05:01:22] LH~Felicity.Willing: Like it happened with Toledo, that now houses over a million of nameless graves. [19.08.2018 05:02:22] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I will present these valid points to Captain Linford.
[19.08.2018 05:03:13] LH~Felicity.Willing: If it is possible - my name should not be mentioned when doing so.
[19.08.2018 05:03:38] LH~Felicity.Willing: It is completely unnecessary for miss Linford to know someone is playing around with her mind. [19.08.2018 05:05:11] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Well, I dont think anyone would like that. I Know I will.
[19.08.2018 05:05:22] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Will not, rather.
[19.08.2018 05:05:58] LH~Felicity.Willing: That's why i would prefer my identity to stay veiled in that case. I assume you understand.
[19.08.2018 05:06:51] LH~Felicity.Willing: Also, if it is possible - i would like the results of this conversation to be transferred to me. Privately.
[19.08.2018 05:07:24] LH~Felicity.Willing: I need to have the full view before my eyes to set up correct 'trap cards' here and there.
[19.08.2018 05:07:59] LH~Felicity.Willing: *Inhales* Also - Cardamine and a bit of imagination. [19.08.2018 05:09:27] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I will see what I can do, I hope things go well during our talk. Never tried Cardamine never sparked my interest really.
[19.08.2018 05:10:27] LH~Felicity.Willing: So do i. I will be looking forward to hearing from you, Mr. Kalh.
[19.08.2018 05:10:52] LH~Felicity.Willing: Whichever the outcome will be - a small gesture of gratitude will be directed to your Neural net account.
[19.08.2018 05:11:18] LH~Felicity.Willing: After you complete your part of our agreement, of course. [19.08.2018 05:11:33] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Naturally.
[19.08.2018 05:11:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: Actually, now that i come to think of it...
[19.08.2018 05:12:25] LH~Felicity.Willing: Mr. Kalh, would you do me a little... favor of sorts, given your interest in concluding this conflict? [19.08.2018 05:12:51] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: What do you have in mind?
[19.08.2018 05:13:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: Supply me with information Harmony will be providing you with. It will allow me to act more efficient in my efforts.
[19.08.2018 05:14:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: The conclusion of this war will be our reward, yet, despite that, your efforts will be rewarded, nonetheless. [19.08.2018 05:14:31] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: This is a dangerous game you play Felicity.
[19.08.2018 05:14:56] LH~Felicity.Willing: No big surprise, Mr.Kalh. Life of a Hacker is dangerous as it is.
[19.08.2018 05:15:19] LH~Felicity.Willing: If i would be unprepared for this would've sit at my corner trembling in terror.
[19.08.2018 05:16:07] LH~Felicity.Willing: But you're one of those who knows best i would never afford such behavior.
[19.08.2018 05:16:31] LH~Felicity.Willing: Besides.
[19.08.2018 05:16:42] LH~Felicity.Willing: Do not forget, Mr. Kalh. I am a Lane Hacker.
[19.08.2018 05:17:02] LH~Felicity.Willing: I know how to take care of myself properly. [19.08.2018 05:17:29] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Only yourself, Lane Hackers have a knack for leaving those not fit to keep up, persay.
[19.08.2018 05:18:35] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Once of the reasons I dont leave my Osiris, we all have our ways to keep ourselves alive.
[19.08.2018 05:18:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: If this will turn me into a rogue element - so be it. I have given my promise to a man.
[19.08.2018 05:18:49] LH~Felicity.Willing: And Hackers' promises are carver in granite for anyone.
[19.08.2018 05:19:17] LH~Felicity.Willing: If following our guidelines will be considered a treason - i will just let it happen, to resolve it some other day.
[19.08.2018 05:19:34] LH~Felicity.Willing: We have other matter to attend right now.
[19.08.2018 05:19:37] LH~Felicity.Willing: Are you with me? [19.08.2018 05:20:56] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Yes, I am with you. Lets ensure this conflict ends quickly.
[19.08.2018 05:21:20] LH~Felicity.Willing: I will do my best to set things up properly.
[19.08.2018 05:21:32] LH~Felicity.Willing: I expect the same from you.
[19.08.2018 05:21:50] LH~Felicity.Willing: Well then, if it settled - i will take my leave now.
[19.08.2018 05:22:00] LH~Felicity.Willing: It was a pleasure, Mr.Kalh. I will be in touch. [19.08.2018 05:22:08] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: I look foward to it.
[19.08.2018 05:22:17] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: Safe Skies,
[19.08.2018 05:22:23] LH~Felicity.Willing: To you as well.
[19.08.2018 05:22:34] LH~Felicity.Willing: And remember - for Harmony, this meeting have never happened. [19.08.2018 05:22:44] Scarab|CV-Amenhotep: Kalh: it never does.
Yesterday myself -along with Mr.Thackeray- busted a couple Interspace corrupt corporate lackeys moving through Liberty. They were so dim-witted that they fell in our trap unconsciously. Typical for them, I dare say.
First catch of the day: a weasel callsigned Ontario.Socialist which popped out of the California gate - an unarmored Mastodon supertransport squawking IC transponders. Was halted and extorted for three million credits.
Second catch of the day: another weasel squawking IC transponders, this time a known target, callsign Timbuktu - a Stork-class advanced train. He suffered the same fate as the first prey: halted and extorted for three million credits.
Inbetween, a dim-witted freelancer reprobate callsigned POLYAR thought it was a wise idea to shoot Mr.Thackeray's vessel: needless to add, he quickly met his demise by by my own hands.
Regarding the captain of Timbuktu: it is to be added that he's a very rude (and ignorant) person. While headed to Buffalo, he tipped system-wide our location, much to our surprise. I took the occasion to taunt him a little. Here's the result: 1 - 2 - 3
The two interdictions would count for the completition of the Ruthlessness criteria.
However, I do have a question for the Professorship: since mr.Thackeray gave me a hand in completing my criteria, he might have completed his Synergy criteria - is it possible that said criteria would be completed for myself as well, since I did actually help him out with its own aforementioned criteria?
Deadliness - I assisted Ms.Willing in the assassination of a vessel belonging to Forlorn Hope. Lockdown - I assisted Mr.Blackfriar along with Mr.Pomerov in the performance of a lockdown on the Manchester system. I also scored a kill on a Bretonian Intelligence Operative. Ruthlessness - I assisted Mr.Largo with the extortion of a Gateway vessel. Relentlessness - Mr.Caiboche was assisted in the completion of his Relentlessness Criteria by the tracking and extortion of a Freelancer Luxury Liner. Entrepreneurship - Professor Scorpius was assisted with his Entrepreneurship while I was in command of Mactan Wing's Repossessor.
I will be brief. On a routine flight through Kansas i've encountered the least expected sight: a couple of Secret Intelligence Service agents, James Skirka and Zackery Statham, have once again ventured that far from home.
Despite the initial circumstances - they have turned out to be somewhat useful.
Lyrics aside, the black box recording will provide you will the information necessary.

[29.08.2018 05:05:27] 2018-08-29 05:05:30 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:05:27] Felicity: -and delivered to one of our bases.
[29.08.2018 05:05:32] 2018-08-29 05:05:35 SMT [29.08.2018 05:05:32] [SIS]-Zackery.Statham: Oh?
[29.08.2018 05:05:57] 2018-08-29 05:05:59 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:05:57] Felicity: That have happened like... a month ago, i would say.
[29.08.2018 05:06:12] 2018-08-29 05:06:15 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:06:12] Felicity: I know about the operation because i have planned it and participated in it.
[29.08.2018 05:06:31] 2018-08-29 05:06:33 SMT [29.08.2018 05:06:31] [SIS]-Zackery.Statham: Now that is interesting, I think it would be quite useful for us to research them, would it be possible for us to obtain a box?
[29.08.2018 05:06:34] 2018-08-29 05:06:37 SMT [29.08.2018 05:06:34] [SIS]-Zackery.Statham: Or two?
[29.08.2018 05:06:52] 2018-08-29 05:06:55 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:06:52] Felicity: I see no issue in such exchange.
[29.08.2018 05:06:59] 2018-08-29 05:07:02 SMT [29.08.2018 05:06:59] [SIS]-Zackery.Statham: Excellent.
[29.08.2018 05:07:19] 2018-08-29 05:07:22 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:07:19] Felicity: Above that, i would like to extend our cooperation on that matter.
[29.08.2018 05:07:53] 2018-08-29 05:07:55 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:07:53] Felicity: You are probably observing these shipments for quite some time already, are you?
[29.08.2018 05:08:10] 2018-08-29 05:08:12 SMT [29.08.2018 05:08:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We are, through more ways than one
[29.08.2018 05:08:21] 2018-08-29 05:08:24 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:08:21] Felicity: No need to wiggle around and try trick me, we are on a mutual ground here.
[29.08.2018 05:08:36] 2018-08-29 05:08:39 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:08:36] Felicity: We have wested interest in these shipments to never reach their destination.
[29.08.2018 05:08:40] 2018-08-29 05:08:42 SMT [29.08.2018 05:08:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We have have our good friends in the Natio Octavarium.
[29.08.2018 05:09:11] 2018-08-29 05:09:14 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:09:11] Felicity: Tell me. Would you happen to seclude some sort of schedule on them?
[29.08.2018 05:09:29] 2018-08-29 05:09:32 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:09:29] Felicity: Or would you happen to be able, at least, predict when those shipments will be coming through?
[29.08.2018 05:10:01] 2018-08-29 05:10:03 SMT [29.08.2018 05:10:01] [SIS]-Zackery.Statham: Um, isn't that more your forte?
[29.08.2018 05:10:26] 2018-08-29 05:10:28 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:10:26] Felicity: Perhaps, but right now i have asked you a direct question.
[29.08.2018 05:10:34] 2018-08-29 05:10:36 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:10:34] Felicity: Please give me the direct answer on it.
[29.08.2018 05:11:00] 2018-08-29 05:11:02 SMT [29.08.2018 05:11:00] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Their schedule is...hard to predict
[29.08.2018 05:11:26] 2018-08-29 05:11:28 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:11:26] Felicity: So the shipments are mostly chaotic.
[29.08.2018 05:11:48] 2018-08-29 05:11:51 SMT [29.08.2018 05:11:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: With the Natio Octavarium, Privateers, us, and the Crayterians.
[29.08.2018 05:11:59] 2018-08-29 05:12:02 SMT [29.08.2018 05:11:59] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yes, their shipments are far and few between
[29.08.2018 05:12:18] 2018-08-29 05:12:21 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:12:18] Felicity: However, let me get to the point.
[29.08.2018 05:12:53] 2018-08-29 05:12:55 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:12:53] Felicity: Should you get any information on these shipments - would you mind providing me with it? We will intercept the shipment.
[29.08.2018 05:13:12] 2018-08-29 05:13:14 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:13:12] Felicity: Afterwards, we will provide you with... how about a half of the total cargo?
[29.08.2018 05:13:39] 2018-08-29 05:13:42 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:13:39] Felicity: That will be extended to any incoming shipment, not only one of these.
[29.08.2018 05:14:25] 2018-08-29 05:14:27 SMT [29.08.2018 05:14:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I think that is a fair deal
[29.08.2018 05:15:00] 2018-08-29 05:15:02 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:15:00] Felicity: It is relieving to hear that we have understanding on the matter.
[29.08.2018 05:15:29] 2018-08-29 05:15:32 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:15:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Indeed
[29.08.2018 05:15:39] 2018-08-29 05:15:42 SMT [29.08.2018 05:15:39] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Tell us, how are Hacker operations that far north?
[29.08.2018 05:15:45] 2018-08-29 05:15:48 SMT [29.08.2018 05:15:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: How far can you actually go?
[29.08.2018 05:15:54] 2018-08-29 05:15:57 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:15:54] Felicity: So, as the information about the shipment will come in - we will dispatch our assets to intercept it. Last time we checked -
[29.08.2018 05:16:08] 2018-08-29 05:16:11 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:16:08] Felicity: - they were reckless enough to travel without escort.
[29.08.2018 05:16:45] 2018-08-29 05:16:48 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:16:45] Felicity: When it comes to such a specific cargo - we might actually be stopping them anywhere, up Gallic space itself.
[29.08.2018 05:17:08] 2018-08-29 05:17:11 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:17:08] Felicity: We have some neutral parties here that are ready to give us a refuge.
[29.08.2018 05:17:20] 2018-08-29 05:17:23 SMT [29.08.2018 05:17:20] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Hmm.
[29.08.2018 05:17:38] 2018-08-29 05:17:40 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:17:38] Felicity: Not to mention that some time ago, i have discovered a source of these crates.
[29.08.2018 05:17:40] 2018-08-29 05:17:42 SMT [29.08.2018 05:17:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Our own people would be happy to assist in that endeavour if you so need it.
[29.08.2018 05:17:47] 2018-08-29 05:17:50 SMT [29.08.2018 05:17:47] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh?
[29.08.2018 05:18:11] 2018-08-29 05:18:13 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:18:11] Felicity: Your hearing did not faulter you.
[29.08.2018 05:18:40] 2018-08-29 05:18:43 SMT [29.08.2018 05:18:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Would you be willing to tell us what this source is?
[29.08.2018 05:18:55] 2018-08-29 05:18:57 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:18:55] Felicity: I have intercepted a transport within Gallic space that carried the predictable cargo.
[29.08.2018 05:19:25] 2018-08-29 05:19:28 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:19:25] Felicity: For sure. I wasn't coming close to it, but i assume it to be some research station in Picardy.
[29.08.2018 05:20:02] 2018-08-29 05:20:04 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:20:02] Felicity: It is located in grid square 2B.
[29.08.2018 05:20:50] 2018-08-29 05:20:52 SMT [29.08.2018 05:20:50] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That far north means that our influence that far north is highly limited.
[29.08.2018 05:21:04] 2018-08-29 05:21:06 SMT [29.08.2018 05:21:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Due to distance and a lack of friendly bases.
[29.08.2018 05:21:50] 2018-08-29 05:21:53 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:21:50] Felicity: I see. Perhaps, you should ask your friends of Octavarium to look over it.
[29.08.2018 05:22:12] 2018-08-29 05:22:15 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:22:12] Felicity: I have an asset specifically outfitted to deal with armored transports stationed in Picardy.
[29.08.2018 05:22:41] 2018-08-29 05:22:44 SMT [29.08.2018 05:22:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We shall do so. However, and you must forgive us, but this conversation will need to be....approved, verified by, one of your

[29.08.2018 05:23:01] 2018-08-29 05:23:03 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:23:01] Felicity: I do.
[29.08.2018 05:23:17] 2018-08-29 05:23:20 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:23:17] Felicity: However, i can predict this will pass through smoothly.
[29.08.2018 05:23:59] 2018-08-29 05:24:02 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:23:59] Felicity: In no way my influence can match one of the Professors, but i have climbed high enough to act somewhat independently.
[29.08.2018 05:24:02] 2018-08-29 05:24:04 SMT [29.08.2018 05:24:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then we will look forward to the confirmation, and the opportunity in working with you in future.
[29.08.2018 05:24:09] 2018-08-29 05:24:11 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:24:09] Felicity: Very well.

[29.08.2018 05:25:09] 2018-08-29 05:25:12 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:25:09] Felicity: As such - i bid you farewell, gentleman, as i a... yes?
[29.08.2018 05:25:22] 2018-08-29 05:25:24 SMT [29.08.2018 05:25:22] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Perhaps you could offer some insight as to what is happening in Bering
[29.08.2018 05:25:54] 2018-08-29 05:25:56 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:25:54] Felicity: So, that is your interest there, after all?
[29.08.2018 05:26:08] 2018-08-29 05:26:10 SMT [29.08.2018 05:26:08] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We have many interests in many places.
[29.08.2018 05:26:18] 2018-08-29 05:26:21 SMT [29.08.2018 05:26:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You, Bering..ect ect

[29.08.2018 05:26:46] Felicity: Me. Is it just my hearing or you are making this personal?
[29.08.2018 05:26:51] 2018-08-29 05:26:54 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:26:51] Felicity: Anyway.
[29.08.2018 05:27:26] 2018-08-29 05:27:29 SMT [29.08.2018 05:27:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You as in the Lane Hackers, but you as in...the individual infront of us who has been quite helpful
[29.08.2018 05:27:35] 2018-08-29 05:27:37 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:27:35] Felicity: I will provide you with what is currently known about the internal strife happening in Bering.
[29.08.2018 05:28:17] 2018-08-29 05:28:19 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:28:17] Felicity: This is simple, my dear gentleman. When it comes to crushing Gallic spine - we are on mutual ground.
[29.08.2018 05:28:27] 2018-08-29 05:28:30 SMT [29.08.2018 05:28:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Would it be easier to send the information in a communication or letter?
[29.08.2018 05:29:16] 2018-08-29 05:29:18 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:29:16] Felicity: I hate them even more than these Ageira patsies!... *Cough* A letter would suffice. Not that our Neural protocols would be-

[29.08.2018 05:29:27] Felicity: -compromised.... Just consider this a personal preferation.
[29.08.2018 05:29:48] 2018-08-29 05:29:51 SMT [29.08.2018 05:29:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Indeed, far easier to send everything in a letter. We shall look out for it.
[29.08.2018 05:30:17] 2018-08-29 05:30:20 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:30:17] Felicity: It will come in rather soon.

[29.08.2018 05:30:53] Felicity: No, i think that pretty much concludes our little chat.

[29.08.2018 05:31:45] 2018-08-29 05:31:48 SMT
[29.08.2018 05:31:45] Felicity: Indeed, it was a pleasure. Farewell, gentleman.
Good evening, dear colleagues, esteemed Professorship.
Took my opportunity to accept Natio's invitation to Canberra, had a dialogue with their representative. Haven't met their higher-ups yet, but requested such to be done as soon as possible.
NO-F-Saronsen: Good day.
Felicity.Willing: Good evening, rather.
NO-F-Saronsen: Ehh, my internal clock is definitely in another system. How do you fare?
Felicity.Willing: Good enough. Canberra turned out to be a hospitable place.
NO-F-Saronsen: It's been a bit of a process. I'm not sure how old the station actually is, but.
NO-F-Saronsen: Beds, bath, bar, all the necessities.
Felicity.Willing: I could realise.
NO-F-Saronsen: You'll have to forgive the lack of welcoming party, much of the fleet is spread thin currently.
Felicity.Willing: Picking something up and suiting it to be a better place is never an easy task.
Felicity.Willing: Worry not, this can be forgiven.
Felicity.Willing: The gesture itself was quite a surprisde.
Felicity.Willing: Surprise, even.
NO-F-Saronsen: I wasn't given too much information, just to make sure you're welcomed properly.
NO-F-Saronsen: There was admittedly some amount of hostility in the Natios and Lane Hackers past, but I never knew the why myself.
Felicity.Willing: Whatever the reason was - it apparently lies in the past, prior to me becoming the part of the Inner Circle.
Felicity.Willing: I don't know the whole story either.
NO-F-Saronsen: Mm. I never did get along with the inner circle myself. Mactan was less of a home and more of a pitstop.
NO-F-Saronsen: A one.. Phate wasn't particularly fond of me either if I recall.
Felicity.Willing: Well, i can't help but to inquire on the reason of the invitation.
Felicity.Willing: Natio, apparently, would want to establish some sort of a discussion?
NO-F-Saronsen: That does seem to be the case. It may have been more an open invitation to stop here for whatever we may be able to offer you.
NO-F-Saronsen: I'll see if I can't find out the Taskmasters true intentions.
Felicity.Willing: You know i am not forcing you to dig through their mind intentionally.
NO-F-Saronsen: Well, the more the merrier.
Felicity.Willing: Good evening.
Felicity.Willing: I've expected to be not alone either, but it seems that my colleague will not be present.
NO-F-Saronsen: So much more welcoming than me.
Felicity.Willing: Your hospitality is appreciated, Mr.Riley.
NO-F-Saronsen: Looking through the logs, we're just looking to make things less.. unfriendly, with the Lane Hackers. From what they've decided
NO-F-Saronsen: there's no actual reason for us to be hostile towards the Lane Hackers.
NO-F-Saronsen: Considering the roots of.. a number of people here, it does make sense.
Felicity.Willing: Neither there is such a reason for us. To be honest, we might even have some mutual grounds.
Felicity.Willing: Like those nasty Gauls pestering our borders.
NO-F-Saronsen: I spent years as a Mactan based Hacker myself, and a number of people in the Fleet were Hacker associates.
NO-F-Saronsen: Indeed, we've had our run ins with them out here.
NO-F-Saronsen: Particularly their intelligence branch.
Felicity.Willing: These are the most unpleasing ones.
Felicity.Willing: Sniffing around anywhere, possessing some stealth technologies.
Felicity.Willing: Quite a slippery meat to deal with.
NO-F-Saronsen: Thankfully their navy doesn't seem to actually /care/ about Canberra, or this system.
NO-F-Saronsen: Nor do the.. Colonials. Crayter now is it?
Felicity.Willing: They are more occupied with the actual war theaters.
Felicity.Willing: I believe you are partaking in one of these.
Felicity.Willing: You as Natio, that is.
NO-F-Saronsen: Indeed, we tend to be a large thorn in their side whenever possible.
NO-F-Saronsen: We have a rather large strikeforce of bombers parked comfortably in Bretonia in fact.
NO-F-Saronsen: On the border I should say, Curacao.
Felicity.Willing: That is understandable. Quite a well placed base of operations.
NO-F-Saronsen: Sure, safe skies.
Felicity.Willing: Safe skies, Mr.Riley.
NO-F-Saronsen: Of course
Felicity.Willing: Mister... Saronsen, i assume?
NO-F-Saronsen: Yeah?
Felicity.Willing: A word have been spreaded among our ranks that Natio does have connections to Alster Union, and is concerned with state of-
Felicity.Willing: -affairs in Bering?
Felicity.Willing: Is that so?
Felicity.Willing: It's one of those 'mutual grounds' i've mentioned before.
NO-F-Saronsen: Mm, something like that. We've done business before.
Felicity.Willing: To make it blunt - i am working towards the crysis being resolved.
NO-F-Saronsen: We're definitely not involved in that.. mess. Our concern is the supply of scrap that's made its way to Canberra for processing
NO-F-Saronsen: has..
NO-F-Saronsen: Dwindled, might be the right word.
Felicity.Willing: Do you have intentions of supporting Alster Union in some way? Perhaps, providing them with a temporary refuge?
Felicity.Willing: Harmony will not reach out 'that' far, and certainly not while we are... contact on scanners.
NO-F-Saronsen: Mm? Oh, yeah, she's welcome.
NO-F-Saronsen: As for the support, as far as I know, nothing direct, or indirectly beneficial.
NO-F-Saronsen: We accept refugees all the time, and I imagine if the Alster Union knows of that, they might use that.
NO-F-Saronsen: I do believe the Taskmasters mentioned they're allowed here for humanitarian purposes, whatwith the rumors of what's going on
Felicity.Willing: Given you have had business before - they are aware of this.
NO-F-Saronsen: in the Bering system.
NO-F-Saronsen: Well, most should be aware, but tend to be ignorant of what some people offer.
Felicity.Willing: Trust me, their current state of affairs is unpleasant.
Felicity.Willing: But you know that as well as i do.
NO-F-Saronsen: I'm personally ignorant of the situation, I just skim through our logs on occasion.
Felicity.Willing: If the Harmony will proceed with the current course - they will have their leash pulled.
Felicity.Willing: We find their actions rather... unpleasing.
NO-F-Saronsen: Haven't they successfully lost.. mmmost of their allies?
Felicity.Willing: They have had a drastical change of course, that is.
Felicity.Willing: Which is actually equal to losing allies.
Felicity.Willing: To discover support in alternative sources, that is.
NO-F-Saronsen: They're probably very fortunate Gallia is stepping on Liberty's toes.
NO-F-Saronsen: Probably would've swept through Bering with the entire navy if that wasn't the case.
Felicity.Willing: Well, our course of action is decided at this point. Perhaps we will bring Navy to a conclusion that such a sweep is necessary.
Felicity.Willing: Yet, we are more focused on different concerns.
Felicity.Willing: Specifically - Gauls stepping on Liberty's... just what the hell is that gathering?
NO-F-Saronsen: Well, we are a fairly neutral port afterall.
NO-F-Saronsen: Some people take comfort in 'reformed' scumbags instead of Zoners.
Felicity.Willing: Mister Saronsen, i would like thse individuals to be gone from the area. Temporarily.
Felicity.Willing: Or should we move away from the gathering?
NO-F-Saronsen: We could do that.
Felicity.Willing: Given the circumstances - i would encourage that.
NO-F-Saronsen: Moving
Felicity.Willing: Engage formation, Mr. Saronsen.
NO-F-Saronsen: On your wing.
NO-F-Saronsen: Be back soon folks.
NO-F-Saronsen: You can keep them company over there if you'd like
Felicity.Willing: I apologise for the sudden relocation.
NO-F-Saronsen: Fair enough
NO-F-Saronsen: It's understandable.
NO-F-Saronsen: The inner circle is rather well known for its.. secrecy. Surprising we talked about it there at all.
Felicity.Willing: There are... matters to be discussed without ears.
Felicity.Willing: Having you toe-to-toe with me will allow us to talk more freely.
NO-F-Saronsen: Of course.
Felicity.Willing: Well then, where were we?
NO-F-Saronsen: On the topic of Bering I believe.
Felicity.Willing: Gauls, Bering, somewhere around these two matters that could potentially close the gap.
Felicity.Willing: The gap between the Inner Cicrle and Natio, that is.
NO-F-Saronsen: Was there something you had in mind at this time? Or will we be hearing from the Inner Circle soon about that?
Felicity.Willing: I am working pretty much personally on the case, in tight cooperation with The Union, of course.
Felicity.Willing: Or, at least - with someone representing their interests and the one eager to conclude the conflict.
NO-F-Saronsen: I see.
Felicity.Willing: Mostly now we remain dormant, and are focused on Gallic issue.
Felicity.Willing: In particular - the big nasty construction site in Leeds.
Felicity.Willing: I believe you have seen it.
NO-F-Saronsen: With my own eyes? I have not. Is it that new Jumpgate, presumeably going to New London?
Felicity.Willing: Exactly.
Felicity.Willing: We have a confirmation of this, as well as the supplying going at a constant rate.
Felicity.Willing: Even through it is a bit... chaotic.
Felicity.Willing: So far the shipments do not look somewhat scheduled.
NO-F-Saronsen: Strange considering the rampant piracy and privateering behind Gallic lines. They must be just throwing bodies at the project.
Felicity.Willing: However, neither they bother with setting appropriate escort to the transports.
Felicity.Willing: Above that - i have discovered the source of where commodities are coming from.
NO-F-Saronsen: Oh?
Felicity.Willing: The system's called Picardy. The facility is presumably located in grid square 2B.
Felicity.Willing: A transport intercept in that system only confirmes that assumption.
Felicity.Willing: Intercepted, even.
NO-F-Saronsen: I see. I think we know a number of groups who wouldn't mind having that information as well.
Felicity.Willing: Gallic opposition, mostly.
Felicity.Willing: I would assume that.
NO-F-Saronsen: Indeed.
Felicity.Willing: Let me be honest: we are drastically interested in this shipments intercepted and extorted. Actually, we could perform the-
Felicity.Willing: -extortions ourselves.
Felicity.Willing: On a recent occasion i have discussed that matter with Bretonian intelligence.
NO-F-Saronsen: Their variety of gate and lane technology, no doubt?
Felicity.Willing: Bull's eye, Mister Saronsen.
Felicity.Willing: At this point we have retrieved only one shipment of these parts.
Felicity.Willing: As i have mentioned, these are quite chaotic.
NO-F-Saronsen: Mm. And every blow to that supply line probably drastically lengthens the time it'll take to build that gate.
Felicity.Willing: Precisely.
Felicity.Willing: At this point, Mister Saronsen, i would like you to keep everything said within the Natio's command.
Felicity.Willing: Share this to the taskmasters only.
NO-F-Saronsen: Of course.
Felicity.Willing: There is a reason we are delaying their shipments.
NO-F-Saronsen: I mean frankly, just to spite the gauls is reason enough for me personally.
Felicity.Willing: I hope you are upholding the same principle of your promises the Lane Hackers do.
Felicity.Willing: As such - give me your promise.
NO-F-Saronsen: Mm, what am I promising, to be exact?
NO-F-Saronsen: I do prefer to have the details plain.
Felicity.Willing: To keep the reason of their shipments being intercepted and construction delayed in secret to anyone except your taskmasters.
Felicity.Willing: That is what i would want you to keep in secret.
NO-F-Saronsen: You have my word on that. Only the Taskmasters will receive this information.
Felicity.Willing: The Lane Hackers are 'that' close to produce Spyglass Mark II.
Felicity.Willing: Might be quite a specific reason, but that's pretty much everything i can tell.
NO-F-Saronsen: Ah, I see. I can imagine you'd want that under wraps.
Felicity.Willing: It is relieving to have your understanding.
NO-F-Saronsen: From Ageira to the Lane Hackers to the Natio, I've learned to keep my mouth shut over the last decade or so.
Felicity.Willing: That's certainly a useful trait. Silence is life sometimes.
NO-F-Saronsen: Well, silence when it comes to secrets anyway.
NO-F-Saronsen: Any other time I generally talk too much.
Felicity.Willing: Precisely. You seem to be smart, and resourceful. Which brings me to a confusion you did not extend that gesture of friendship-
Felicity.Willing: -earlier.
NO-F-Saronsen: I'm personally not the one who can make those orders. And the Taskmasters had.. other issues for a time.
Felicity.Willing: I wish i could tell you the details, but the project is kept in secrecy, not even the senior members know a lot about it.
NO-F-Saronsen: I see.
NO-F-Saronsen: Well, hopefully this leads to a warmer relationship betwen the Natio and the Inner Circle.
NO-F-Saronsen: It's bad enough I'm paranoid of the Navy when I'm passing through, let alone running into a Lane Hacker in a bad mood.
Felicity.Willing: Hopefully. I would've personally ensure that warmup if you'd be a little more honest about what you are going to do in Bering.
NO-F-Saronsen: I'm honestly unaware of any planned activities in Bering. So far the only actions we've taken is allowing the Alster Union to
NO-F-Saronsen: send Refugees to Canberra.
Felicity.Willing: I see.
Felicity.Willing: Going to be hell of a task with that blockade, through.
NO-F-Saronsen: Indeed. If they're desperate enough, they might try their luck going through Hamburg, and all the way through the Sigmas and
NO-F-Saronsen: Kusari to get here.
Felicity.Willing: With all the mess going out there? With the Core eagerly shooting everything that comes through Sigma-15, Rheinland affairs-
Felicity.Willing: -with the Gas Miners, and, as the final nail on the coffin - the Sigma-21.
Felicity.Willing: Making hyperspatial jumps with small portions of refugees would be a better option, don't you think?
NO-F-Saronsen: It would, though I'm not certain if they have any ships capable of it.
NO-F-Saronsen: God forbid they attempt to jump with a damaged capital too, they'll break its back and probably never be able to use it again.
Felicity.Willing: All other options involve hell of a risk.
Felicity.Willing: Their attempt to jump with a damaged capital?
Felicity.Willing: Is there something i don't know?
Felicity.Willing: Which capital? When? Have Natio spoken them out of that idea?
NO-F-Saronsen: Ah, no, nothing like that.
NO-F-Saronsen: It's just my personal speculation. Their station was crippled, and I imagine any capitals are probably hurting from the fightin
Felicity.Willing: Crippled. To say the least.
Felicity.Willing: It suffered a direct hit of Nuclear EMP payload.
NO-F-Saronsen: Yeah, that'll do it.
Felicity.Willing: You can imagine the consequences.
NO-F-Saronsen: And I imagine any repairs for their capitals is only for critical damage, which means jumps are probably ill-advised.
Felicity.Willing: I've seen them in person few days ago.
NO-F-Saronsen: Unless they have something no one is aware of.
Felicity.Willing: That's unlikely.
Felicity.Willing: They have been holding close ties with Harmony for years.
Felicity.Willing: Unfortunately, during that time Harmony was able to assess the Unions' powers there, in Bering.
Felicity.Willing: And all this - for a single cruiser and a couple of shots fired.
NO-F-Saronsen: I heard the Union sent them packing quite easily in that altercation as well.
NO-F-Saronsen: I suppose numbers will beat out skill in the end.
Felicity.Willing: To be honest: Harmony might have deserved this.
Felicity.Willing: That's what they get for turning their back on someone who basically saved them few years ago.
NO-F-Saronsen: Indeed. And now they have the Liberty Navy casting a shadow over them again.
Felicity.Willing: When Harmony was nothing but a scattered, vulnerable bunch of rogue Navy and LSF pilots.
Felicity.Willing: As i have mentioned - perhaps they should get their arse cracked a bit.
Felicity.Willing: To have that feeling of their own blood on their tongue to realise their mistakes.
NO-F-Saronsen: It's strange how they've lasted as long as they have. A small battlegroup threatening the entirety of the Liberty forces.
Felicity.Willing: Anyway, mister Saronsen. I would still like to meet one of your Taskmasters in person.
Felicity.Willing: Could i possibly entrust you the arranging of that meeting?
Felicity.Willing: Anwering your question pre-emptively - yes, i will be staying on Canberra for a while.
NO-F-Saronsen: I'll be sure to let them know of your wishes, and get them to contact you directly.
NO-F-Saronsen: And especially if you're staying on Canberra, it's far more likely it'll happen sooner rather than later.
Felicity.Willing: That fits me.
Felicity.Willing: Should we return to Canberra now?
NO-F-Saronsen: Couldn't hurt.
Felicity.Willing: I would not mind a hot bath and a soft bed right now.
NO-F-Saronsen: Wouldn't mind that myself, though I do have some paperwork followed by a patrol to handle.
Felicity.Willing: So do i.
Felicity.Willing: I've climbed high, but not that high to have no one to write reports to.
NO-F-Saronsen: Bah, even at the top you still need to keep track of paperwork.
Felicity.Willing: Farewell, mr.Saronsen.
NO-F-Saronsen: Have a good evening, miss Willing.
I will be staying at Canberra for a while longer, digging for more information.
[31.08.2018 00:47:30] NO-I-Green.River: Hmm. Shiranui adjusted some things here... I'll sort that out later.
[31.08.2018 00:47:43] NO-I-Green.River: Well. I was informed you wanted to speak with a Taskmaster.
[31.08.2018 00:47:56] Felicity.Willing: That is correct.
[31.08.2018 00:48:03] NO-I-Green.River: I had intended to leave this matter to my agents, but if that's your wish.
[31.08.2018 00:48:10] NO-I-Green.River: I am Taskmaster Escher.
[31.08.2018 00:48:41] Felicity.Willing: I have had a belief that you would provide me with somewhat more... precise information.
[31.08.2018 00:49:01] NO-I-Green.River: Hm. We like to play our cards close, but I may be able to accomodate you.
[31.08.2018 00:49:12] NO-I-Green.River: I also need to survey the hull of Canberra.
[31.08.2018 00:49:22] NO-I-Green.River: There was an... incident earlier.
[31.08.2018 00:49:50] Felicity.Willing: I could feel that accident myself. And that was, uh... a Crayter dreadnought?
[31.08.2018 00:50:08] NO-I-Green.River: Yes. They have not done much to improve my opinion of Crayter.
[31.08.2018 00:50:33] Felicity.Willing: They did a lot to ruin it, rather.
[31.08.2018 00:50:46] NO-I-Green.River: But, it appears to be mostly surface damage. High-dispersal flak, limited penetration.
[31.08.2018 00:50:59] Felicity.Willing: What is actually going on within it? Have they had some sort of power shift?...
[31.08.2018 00:51:06] NO-I-Green.River: We'll still need to get the Dubbo out here to patch it up.
[31.08.2018 00:51:15] NO-I-Green.River: Crayter... to be entirely honest, we're working on figuring that out ourselves.
[31.08.2018 00:51:31] NO-I-Green.River: The Fleet Admiral and Minister that were our initial contact points are nowhere to be found.
[31.08.2018 00:51:36] NO-I-Green.River: An explanation has not been forthcoming.
[31.08.2018 00:51:55] Felicity.Willing: That does not sound very promising.
[31.08.2018 00:52:35] NO-I-Green.River: No, but it's not as surprising as it would be were this Bretonia.
[31.08.2018 00:52:58] NO-I-Green.River: Militant states are prone to sudden power shifts.
[31.08.2018 00:53:18] NO-I-Green.River: Teach your people to see everyone as the enemy, and they'll take that to its logical conclusion.
[31.08.2018 00:53:20] Felicity.Willing: Hm. Perhaps, i should pull some strings to try and find something out.
[31.08.2018 00:53:31] Felicity.Willing: If anything comes out - i will let you know.
[31.08.2018 00:53:43] NO-I-Green.River: That would be appreciated. I know Coronado is an important corridor to both of us.
[31.08.2018 00:54:03] Felicity.Willing: Now, mister Escher. Would you mind to... enligten me on a certain matter?
[31.08.2018 00:54:08] NO-I-Green.River: Go ahead.
[31.08.2018 00:54:39] Felicity.Willing: I have received a word from mister Saronsen that you are accepting refugees from Pacifica, and have had dealings with-
[31.08.2018 00:54:46] Felicity.Willing: the Alster Union in the past.
[31.08.2018 00:55:01] NO-I-Green.River: Not as much in the past, but recently yes. They actually reached out to us first.
[31.08.2018 00:55:19] NO-I-Green.River: Since they've never wronged us, we saw no reason not to work with them.
[31.08.2018 00:55:34] Felicity.Willing: What was that transmission, if i may ask?
[31.08.2018 00:55:58] Felicity.Willing: Don't get me wrong. We are on a mutual ground here. Our Professors... are not pleased with Harmony's actions.
[31.08.2018 00:56:07] NO-I-Green.River: Those messages were fielded by Taskmaster Kane, but the first contact was inquiring about the status of the Metropolis.
[31.08.2018 00:56:32] NO-I-Green.River: I believe there's been talk of ship repairs, but that may have been Kane attempting to help speed the Black Cloud's restoration
[31.08.2018 00:56:46] Rules Tip: This is a roleplay server, so keep your ship's name in line with the setting. Do not use references to pop-culture such as memes or distasteful subjects.
[31.08.2018 00:57:09] Felicity.Willing: Black Cloud? Is it some sort of a special vessel?
[31.08.2018 00:57:25] Felicity.Willing: Given the source of that veseel - a Hel cruiser, i would assume.
[31.08.2018 00:57:41] NO-I-Green.River: It was built off a Hel frame, at least.
[31.08.2018 00:58:01] NO-I-Green.River: It houses a number of scanners and defensive electronic warfare systems, but the exact details are kept quiet.
[31.08.2018 00:58:22] Felicity.Willing: That's understandable.
[31.08.2018 00:59:02] Felicity.Willing: Anyway. Since you house a certain number of Pacifica refugees... have Natio considered any active operation in regards-
[31.08.2018 00:59:18] Felicity.Willing: -to assisting Alster Union with moving them?
[31.08.2018 00:59:51] Felicity.Willing: Given you have the direct contact - you should be pretty much aware of the Harmony's blockade.
[31.08.2018 00:59:58] NO-I-Green.River: We have a ship enroute to ascertain the situation and begin humanitarian assistance.
[31.08.2018 01:00:23] NO-I-Green.River: We have heard of the blockade, but we're attempting to get more information before fully moving in.
[31.08.2018 01:00:47] Felicity.Willing: Well, i can update you on the situation as i have arrived to Canberra straight from Pacifica.
[31.08.2018 01:00:50] NO-I-Green.River: While we doubt the Union is intentionally decieving us, we would like a clearer picture of the situation.
[31.08.2018 01:00:59] NO-I-Green.River: That would help.
[31.08.2018 01:01:44] Felicity.Willing: Harmony have fallen to open hostilities with the Union. Pacifica suffered a launch of Nuclear EMP payload, supposedly - by the-
[31.08.2018 01:01:49] Felicity.Willing: -Hellfire Legion.
[31.08.2018 01:02:27] NO-I-Green.River: Odd. That fits with expected Legion resources, but I'm wondering *why*.
[31.08.2018 01:02:33] Felicity.Willing: Internal blockade have been instilled and any vessels trying to trespass and moor on Pacifica are either turned back - or shot-
[31.08.2018 01:02:35] Felicity.Willing: -down.
[31.08.2018 01:02:56] Felicity.Willing: I've had a chance to talk with Legionnaires.
[31.08.2018 01:03:15] Felicity.Willing: They seemed to be eager 'to get rid of the plague on the Liberty outskirts'.
[31.08.2018 01:03:29] Felicity.Willing: Bringing up Union's Texas raids as an excuse.
[31.08.2018 01:03:43] Felicity.Willing: Which is, honestly...
[31.08.2018 01:03:54] Felicity.Willing: A very weak excuse for such harsh measures.
[31.08.2018 01:04:19] Felicity.Willing: I assume Harmony 'asked' them to do this.
[31.08.2018 01:04:24] Felicity.Willing: As in 'provoked'.
[31.08.2018 01:05:01] NO-I-Green.River: I've yet to get a good reading on Harmony; they broke off from Liberty during our time in isolation.
[31.08.2018 01:05:01] Felicity.Willing: Blockade have been inflicted soon after, intercepting any incoming convoy intending to help Pacifica.
[31.08.2018 01:05:06] Felicity.Willing: Gaians, mostly.
[31.08.2018 01:05:52] Felicity.Willing: Harmony? A bunch of rogue Liberty Security Force pilots obsessed with the idea of Liberty Navy's infection.
[31.08.2018 01:06:03] NO-I-Green.River: I feel like I've heard that exact story before.
[31.08.2018 01:06:07] Felicity.Willing: Not the whole Navy, of courrse, but their higher ranks, that is.
[31.08.2018 01:06:17] NO-I-Green.River: ... since when does the LSF have "battlegroups"?
[31.08.2018 01:06:41] NO-I-Green.River: Nevermind, that's tangential at best.
[31.08.2018 01:07:00] NO-I-Green.River: It sounds like the Hackers aren't exactly friendly with Harmony, then.
[31.08.2018 01:07:04] Felicity.Willing: Back in the Nomad War, Harmony was a battleship of a Naval battlegroup. During their exaltation, LSF backed them up.
[31.08.2018 01:07:32] Felicity.Willing: More like neutral at this moment.
[31.08.2018 01:08:03] Felicity.Willing: Their agression is not tolerated, yet this is not just another simple case.
[31.08.2018 01:08:08] Felicity.Willing: The course of action is yet to be picked.
[31.08.2018 01:08:59] NO-I-Green.River: It is a complicated situation.
[31.08.2018 01:09:56] NO-I-Green.River: It's rather distant from us, but we have reasons to be interested. I'll see what we can dig up.
[31.08.2018 01:10:03] Felicity.Willing: There is another thing. Johnatan Kalh, that fool is... troublesome, to say the least.
[31.08.2018 01:10:24] NO-I-Green.River: We've had limited contact with him. He seems to have a one-track mind.
[31.08.2018 01:10:34] Felicity.Willing: He also should be dealt with, and reminded of his place in the universe.
[31.08.2018 01:11:14] Felicity.Willing: We would not like to attract external assets to this, but, perhaps, you know someone capable of providing us with a Mark IV-
[31.08.2018 01:11:16] NO-I-Green.River: I take it there's been a recurring issue, there.
[31.08.2018 01:11:18] Felicity.Willing: -Jump Drive?
[31.08.2018 01:11:50] NO-I-Green.River: Hm. The only contact we have that we know has the capacity to produce them is Crayter.
[31.08.2018 01:11:52] Felicity.Willing: *Inhales* Johnatan Kalh's Harmony milksop.
[31.08.2018 01:12:34] Felicity.Willing: Perhaps, we will need one such device soon enough.
[31.08.2018 01:13:30] NO-I-Green.River: Crayter definitely has the capacity to produce them. The willingness to part with them, that's another matter.
[31.08.2018 01:14:08] Felicity.Willing: Show people the money and they fall for it. Crayter is no exception, no matter who's in charge of it.
[31.08.2018 01:14:59] NO-I-Green.River: Fair, especially with how they've treated their other military technology.
[31.08.2018 01:15:00] Felicity.Willing: Oh, and remind your vessel to be extremely cautious in Bering.
[31.08.2018 01:15:18] Felicity.Willing: Harmony is way more trigger-happy now than they were before.
[31.08.2018 01:16:03] NO-I-Green.River: We have ideas for that, but we'll have to go over the exact details internally.
[31.08.2018 01:16:38] NO-I-Green.River: The Hackers haven't taken a side, but you do seem to be leaning toward the Unioners.
[31.08.2018 01:17:01] Felicity.Willing: What i am certain about is that they will not, most likely, engage any ship escorted with our assets.
[31.08.2018 01:17:01] Rules Tip: Do not threaten a player with reports or sanctions. If you see someone breaking server rules - help them. If that does not work - report them to the administration team on the Forums.
[31.08.2018 01:17:19] Felicity.Willing: Yes, we are leaning towards The Union.
[31.08.2018 01:17:33] Felicity.Willing: Their stance in the conflict is what we find more justified.
[31.08.2018 01:17:53] NO-I-Green.River: What exactly started this whole situation?
[31.08.2018 01:18:30] Felicity.Willing: Of what i know - it started off a Hel cruiser that Harmony requested, later on supplied it's construction, but never received-
[31.08.2018 01:18:33] Felicity.Willing: -the end result.
[31.08.2018 01:19:00] Felicity.Willing: Then the Hellfire interfered, first shots from Harmony's side were fired...
[31.08.2018 01:19:18] Felicity.Willing: Actually, Harmony's officer given an order to terminate Union's vessel.
[31.08.2018 01:19:35] Felicity.Willing: Supposedly, Legionnaires took their part in the show.
[31.08.2018 01:20:16] NO-I-Green.River: Hm. I wonder if perhaps the Legion had a hand in pushing it toward open hostilities.
[31.08.2018 01:21:23] NO-I-Green.River: If they're the ones who supposedly EMPed Pacifica, and claimed it was in response to raids on Texas... but, that's speculation.
[31.08.2018 01:22:04] Felicity.Willing: They not 'supposedly' NEMPed Pacifica, 'we' know they did.
[31.08.2018 01:22:11] NO-I-Green.River: My mistake.
[31.08.2018 01:22:38] NO-I-Green.River: Our intel on the events in Bering has been spottier than I would like. The problems of distance.
[31.08.2018 01:22:58] Felicity.Willing: I ended up getting in touch with former Pacifica administrator on quite a sensitive matter.
[31.08.2018 01:23:15] Felicity.Willing: Once accomplishing it - i've picked up another patch of the information from him.
[31.08.2018 01:23:32] Felicity.Willing: To have the full view and make a better judgement of the situation.
[31.08.2018 01:24:16] Felicity.Willing: As i have mentioned - i suggest extreme precaution if you are willing to send blockade runners.
[31.08.2018 01:24:46] Felicity.Willing: Use Freighters for their speed, use unpredictable routes - given the circumstances, the one through Rheinland and Puerto Rico-
[31.08.2018 01:24:52] Felicity.Willing: -would be the best one.
[31.08.2018 01:24:54] NO-I-Green.River: We have considerable experience in the field, don't worry.
[31.08.2018 01:25:16] Felicity.Willing: I am not putting your experience to a doubt.
[31.08.2018 01:25:26] NO-I-Green.River: On that note, though
[31.08.2018 01:25:33] NO-I-Green.River: do you know what the Junkers' angle is on the situation?
[31.08.2018 01:25:36] Felicity.Willing: It's a 'better safe than sorry' kind of advice.
[31.08.2018 01:25:43] NO-I-Green.River: If we're to pass through Puerto Rico, it would be good to know.
[31.08.2018 01:26:16] Felicity.Willing: Right. Unfortunately, i lack that piece of information. But i doubt they will mind your minor traverse.
[31.08.2018 01:26:31] Felicity.Willing: I haven't seen them assisting Harmony in any way lately.
[31.08.2018 01:26:44] Felicity.Willing: So there is a high probability of getting on their good side.
[31.08.2018 01:27:13] NO-I-Green.River: They are generally easy enough to work with.
[31.08.2018 01:27:41] Felicity.Willing: Unless you really, 'really' piss them off.
[31.08.2018 01:27:55] Felicity.Willing: Which is quite difficult to perform.
[31.08.2018 01:28:06] NO-I-Green.River: But, that's the Bering matter addressed, pending updates.
[31.08.2018 01:28:08] Death: Sasha was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[31.08.2018 01:28:14] NO-I-Green.River: Did you have other questions?
[31.08.2018 01:29:10] Felicity.Willing: I would ask you again if you plan to direct any transports with humanitarian supplies or for the sake of evacuation, but-
[31.08.2018 01:29:24] Felicity.Willing: -i assume it to be pointless at this point in time.
[31.08.2018 01:29:35] NO-I-Green.River: As I said, we have to ascertain the situation first. If the situation allows, we likely will.
[31.08.2018 01:29:55] Felicity.Willing: I am grateful for your honest answers, Taskmaster.
[31.08.2018 01:29:59] NO-I-Green.River: It's less a matter of diplomatic concerns and more a matter of *tactical* concern.
[31.08.2018 01:30:12] Felicity.Willing: Tactical concern.
[31.08.2018 01:30:17] Felicity.Willing: Care to elaborate further?
[31.08.2018 01:30:34] NO-I-Green.River: Simply ensuring there *is* a feasible way around the blockades without losing our ships.
[31.08.2018 01:30:42] NO-I-Green.River: Which there likely will be.
[31.08.2018 01:30:54] Felicity.Willing: I have proposed at least one opportunity.
[31.08.2018 01:31:08] Felicity.Willing: Have one of our escorts tagging along with your convoys.
[31.08.2018 01:31:22] Felicity.Willing: That increases your probability of success drastically.
[31.08.2018 01:31:44] NO-I-Green.River: That is a viable option, yes.
[31.08.2018 01:31:57] Felicity.Willing: I understand that we've had some uneasy terms in the past, but there you'll need to have some trust in us.
[31.08.2018 01:32:24] Felicity.Willing: Not for our sake, but for the sake of people secluded and suffering on Pacifica.
[31.08.2018 01:32:41] Felicity.Willing: I assume you understand.
[31.08.2018 01:32:42] NO-I-Green.River: There is a saying, "trust but verify." My job is to verify. Kane, I"m sure, is willing to dedicate aid to the cause.
[31.08.2018 01:33:15] Felicity.Willing: A very good saying, to be blunt and honest.
[31.08.2018 01:33:53] Felicity.Willing: Anyway, i suppose we've discussed pretty much everything we could at this point.
[31.08.2018 01:34:15] NO-I-Green.River: We will send a ship in the near future. Exact timing is usually not disclosed for obvious reasons.
[31.08.2018 01:34:46] Felicity.Willing: Understandable.
[31.08.2018 01:35:09] Felicity.Willing: But, perhaps, that would be a perfect moment to see if our escort will make some effect.
[31.08.2018 01:35:19] Felicity.Willing: To kill two rabbits with just one shot.
[31.08.2018 01:35:45] NO-I-Green.River: Barring any unexpected tactical problems, I believe the aid will be delivered. Hold on, I'm getting a message...
[31.08.2018 01:37:01] NO-I-Green.River: [he sighs] Civilians...
[31.08.2018 01:37:16] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[31.08.2018 01:37:17] Felicity.Willing: Anything requiring your attention?
[31.08.2018 01:37:25] NO-I-Green.River: No, I don't believe so.
[31.08.2018 01:37:52] NO-I-Green.River: There *may* be a ship available now, but I'm checking on that.
[31.08.2018 01:38:15] Felicity.Willing: I believe i could send a word to one of my trusted colleagues to meet your vessel of choice and escort it.
[31.08.2018 01:38:40] Felicity.Willing: I personally would like to stay on Canberra for a while longer before departing.
[31.08.2018 01:39:30] NO-I-Green.River: We may have someone available, a ship passing through Coronado .
[31.08.2018 01:40:03] NO-I-Green.River: It's the... am I reading this right?
[31.08.2018 01:40:18] NO-I-Green.River: OTS Run Like Hell. I suppose it's appropriately named.
[31.08.2018 01:40:31] Death: [RM]Sh-V was put out of action by UN|Stefan,Morgenstern (Gun).
[31.08.2018 01:40:47] Felicity.Willing: Hm.
[31.08.2018 01:40:50] Felicity.Willing: Fits the cause.
[31.08.2018 01:41:11] Felicity.Willing: Perhaps they should be put on a standby for now, however.
[31.08.2018 01:41:28] NO-I-Green.River: That may be for the best, actually, I"m getting odd reports of hardware issues on their end.
[31.08.2018 01:41:47] NO-I-Green.River: Minor ones, but best fixed before such an endeavor.
[31.08.2018 01:42:10] Felicity.Willing: True that. Everything should be working perfect on such a risky endeavour.
[31.08.2018 01:42:41] Felicity.Willing: Even through Spyglass picks no Harmony signatures within Bering...
[31.08.2018 01:43:00] Felicity.Willing: It won't take them long to appear should somehting unidentified try and get through.
[31.08.2018 01:44:53] NO-I-Green.River: Anyway, now I do have matters to attend to. You are of course still welcome on Canberra.
[31.08.2018 01:45:07] Felicity.Willing: Very well.
[31.08.2018 01:45:12] Felicity.Willing: Until next time, Taskmaster.
[31.08.2018 01:45:14] 2018-08-31 01:45:16 SMT Traffic control alert: Felicity.Willing has requested to dock
[31.08.2018 01:45:16] 2018-08-31 01:45:18 SMT Traffic control alert: NO-I-Green.River has requested to dock
During my stay on Pacifica i have had an opportunity to pick through a cloaking device, and alter it to be more efficient compared to those widely available on Sirius market. The project have been performed and accomplished by the request of the member of Alster Union.
Esteemed colleagues and Professors. Today's joint convoy with Natio went overall smooth. The recording and relevant flight logs will be presented below.
[01.09.2018 19:08:45] NO-F-Saronsen: Good day to you.
[01.09.2018 19:08:50] NO-Another.Won: Greetings. Apologies for the delay, we had a bit of a crisis up north.
[01.09.2018 19:09:29] LH~Static: No problem. I hope everything is resolved now?
[01.09.2018 19:09:50] NO-Another.Won: Indeed. The spooks were called in and they made the problem disappear.
[01.09.2018 19:10:02] LH~Static: Good to know.
[01.09.2018 19:10:09] NO-Another.Won: Threatened a Crayterian Fleet Admiral, paid off some fines for flakking a station, all that fun stuff.
[01.09.2018 19:10:11] LH~Static: Or good to hear, even.
[01.09.2018 19:10:26] NO-F-Saronsen: I myself had to dodge some fighter toting very blue very suspicious guns.
[01.09.2018 19:11:07] LH~Static: I think i have an understanding of what kind of guns it is.
[01.09.2018 19:11:20] NO-F-Saronsen: Said something about not being able to escape 'The Crown'.
[01.09.2018 19:11:41] LH~Static: Anyway. Shall we move out now? Spyglass is picking a significant activity in Bering.
[01.09.2018 19:11:53] NO-Another.Won: Sounds good.
[01.09.2018 19:11:59] NO-F-Saronsen: I'm within Liberty's borders now, I'll meet you two soon.
[01.09.2018 19:12:14] LH~Static: Give me a moment to assess our course...
[01.09.2018 19:12:32] LH~Static: Let us get back to Cortez anomaly.
[01.09.2018 19:12:41] NO-Another.Won: Roger that.
[01.09.2018 19:12:43] LH~Static: From there we reach California - and then Texas.
[01.09.2018 19:13:35] LH~Static: And then i would probably suggest taking Hudson over going straight to Bering.
[01.09.2018 19:13:59] NO-F-Saronsen: Considering the big fat blips I'm seeing, yeeeaah.
[01.09.2018 19:14:46] LH~Static: Approximately two battleships, a battlecruiser, some sort of snubcraft...
[01.09.2018 19:14:55] LH~Static: I swear they are too paranoid with their blockade.
[01.09.2018 19:15:08] NO-F-Saronsen: They're asking for trouble if the Fleet ever shows up.
[01.09.2018 19:15:17] NO-F-Saronsen: All your assets in one spot?
[01.09.2018 19:15:41] LH~Static: I suggest to refrain from open hostilities. We'll come out relatively close from Pacifica.
[01.09.2018 19:15:49] LH~Static: So just set your course to it and move.
[01.09.2018 19:16:03] NO-F-Saronsen: Well if we don't give them a reason, they shouldn't have a reason.
[01.09.2018 19:16:09] LH~Static: I wonder if they are bold enough to go against the Inner Circle.
[01.09.2018 19:16:31] NO-Another.Won: If they are, they're not going to last as long as they think they are.
[01.09.2018 19:16:56] NO-F-Saronsen: Well that'd be another ally they're alienating.
[01.09.2018 19:17:01] NO-F-Saronsen: Ally being used loosely here.
[01.09.2018 19:17:12] LH~Static: I'd assume they have a standing order of leaving alone the vessels escorted by our assets.
[01.09.2018 19:17:49] NO-Another.Won: I'd hope so.
[01.09.2018 19:18:16] NO-Another.Won: They have a curious approach to friendship from what the Union has told us.
[01.09.2018 19:18:33] LH~Static: They have a curious approach to everything as of late.
[01.09.2018 19:18:51] LH~Static: But, let's put it in the way... we've made them to respect us.
[01.09.2018 19:19:07] NO-F-Saronsen: Some of my best friends shot at me. And vice versa.
[01.09.2018 19:19:13] NO-Another.Won: Damnable transport.
[01.09.2018 19:19:21] NO-Another.Won: This thing's older than I am, apologies.
[01.09.2018 19:19:31] LH~Static: There's a saying - keep enemies close, and friends - even closer.
[01.09.2018 19:19:44] LH~Static: All the friendship is often overrated.
[01.09.2018 19:20:10] LH~Static: Mister Saronsen, set course to Texas anomaly.
[01.09.2018 19:20:22] LH~Static: Grid square 5 F/G.
[01.09.2018 19:20:33] LH~Static: We'll meet you on the other side.
[01.09.2018 19:20:42] NO-F-Saronsen: Computer acting up, I even directed it to form up on 'Won.
[01.09.2018 19:20:47] NO-F-Saronsen: See you again soon.
[01.09.2018 19:21:51] NO-Another.Won: Oh, Saronsen? Kane here. Don't tell Escher I snuck into an active battlefield in a transport, hey?
[01.09.2018 19:22:04] NO-Another.Won: He'd probably question my sanity.
[01.09.2018 19:22:04] NO-F-Saronsen: Kane? Kane who? [01.09.2018 19:22:07] LH~Static: Taskmaster Kane himself? What a surprise.
[01.09.2018 19:22:17] LH~Static: Yearning for adventures on your head?
[01.09.2018 19:22:25] NO-Another.Won: A good general leads from the front.
[01.09.2018 19:22:36] LH~Static: Fair point.
[01.09.2018 19:22:37] NO-F-Saronsen: Also gets shot in the front..
[01.09.2018 19:22:56] LH~Static: Let's take a little stop here.
[01.09.2018 19:23:07] NO-Another.Won: Alternately, if the general is leading from the front, watch for an attack from the rear.
[01.09.2018 19:23:14] LH~Static: Engage formation sequence.
[01.09.2018 19:23:16] LH~Static: We set out.
[01.09.2018 19:24:28] LH~Static: The activity of Separatists have significantly decreased, but the Harmony herself, The Amenhotep and... a cruiser, apparently-
[01.09.2018 19:24:31] LH~Static: -are still here.
[01.09.2018 19:24:42] NO-F-Saronsen: Wonder if I should've packed a freighter full of medical supplies.
[01.09.2018 19:24:58] NO-Another.Won: Should have packed a cruiser.
[01.09.2018 19:24:59] LH~Static: That would come in handy for The Union.
[01.09.2018 19:25:20] NO-F-Saronsen: I'm more than happy to run supplies. Blockade running is cake for me.
[01.09.2018 19:25:49] LH~Static: I've proven to be a proficient blockade runner a while ago.
[01.09.2018 19:25:55] LH~Static: It involved some mess in Omicrons.
[01.09.2018 19:26:11] NO-Another.Won: Ah, the Omicrons.
[01.09.2018 19:26:11] Death: El_Hernano_de_Carlos was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[01.09.2018 19:27:05] NO-Another.Won: We try to avoid going much further in than Omicron Beta to be honest. Lowers your chance of dealing with the squids.
[01.09.2018 19:27:17] NO-F-Saronsen: My experience in the omicrons involved a Jinkusu and mortaring the hell out of some bounty hunter capitals.
[01.09.2018 19:27:41] LH~Static: Bounty Hunters have no capitals for a while.
[01.09.2018 19:27:44] NO-Another.Won: You've led an odder life than most Raiders have, that's for sure.
[01.09.2018 19:27:50] NO-F-Saronsen: I haven't had a Jinkusu for a while either.
[01.09.2018 19:27:51] LH~Static: Except, you know... the gunboats.
[01.09.2018 19:28:48] NO-Another.Won: The Hunters active much these days?
[01.09.2018 19:29:02] LH~Static: I haven't seen any for a while.
[01.09.2018 19:29:09] NO-Another.Won: We haven't seen them since we came back either.
[01.09.2018 19:29:22] LH~Static: Chance to run into some private mercenary company is way higher than an actual Hunter.
[01.09.2018 19:29:38] LH~Static: Than into an actual Hunter, even.
[01.09.2018 19:29:52] NO-Another.Won: Interesting.
[01.09.2018 19:29:56] NO-Another.Won: We've missed a lot then.
[01.09.2018 19:29:58] NO-F-Saronsen: No reason to split your bounties with an organization when you can just split it with your wingmates.
[01.09.2018 19:30:13] LH~Static: Pacifica is located in grid square 5C. Set course there immediately as we jump.
[01.09.2018 19:30:20] NO-Another.Won: Roger that.
[01.09.2018 19:30:23] NO-Another.Won: This is going to be tight
[01.09.2018 19:30:29] NO-F-Saronsen: Here's hoping we don't run into a wall of flak.
[01.09.2018 19:30:33] LH~Static: When we enter Bering - delays will not be tolerated, or taken lightly.
[01.09.2018 19:30:44] LH~Static: Not running into their cruiser is enough.
[01.09.2018 19:31:01] LH~Static: Stand by.
[01.09.2018 19:31:03] LH~Static: I will go first. [01.09.2018 19:31:37] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: Oh, what is this?
[01.09.2018 19:31:42] NO-Another.Won: Ghosts.
[01.09.2018 19:31:46] LH~Static: Good evening, captain Blackwings.
[01.09.2018 19:31:57] NO-F-Saronsen: Good day!
[01.09.2018 19:31:58] LH~Static: I suggest you do not interfere.
[01.09.2018 19:32:09] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: I don't have the intention.
[01.09.2018 19:32:15] LH~Static: Then mind your business.
[01.09.2018 19:32:25] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: What is this? A convoy? For Pacifica?
[01.09.2018 19:32:31] NO-Another.Won: This one's on you.
[01.09.2018 19:32:38] LH~Static: That's your imagination.
[01.09.2018 19:32:40] NO-Another.Won: I can't talk my way out of this.
[01.09.2018 19:32:58] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: Hackers...Please.
[01.09.2018 19:33:19] LH~Static: I told you to not interfere, and you are to follow that suggestion.
[01.09.2018 19:33:22] 2018-09-01 19:33:23 SMT Traffic control alert: NO-Another.Won has requested to dock
[01.09.2018 19:33:28] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: It comes to my attention you would like to remain neutral in this war, isn't it?
[01.09.2018 19:33:55] NO-Another.Won: Spooky ghosts...
[01.09.2018 19:33:56] H|-SNS-Harmony: Orders are to let Hacker vessels and their associates pass.
[01.09.2018 19:34:07] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: Indeed. They will pass.
[01.09.2018 19:34:21] LH~Static: Won, have you completed your assignment?
[01.09.2018 19:34:25] H|-SNS-Harmony: Though this appears awfully like Hacker support for the Unioners.
[01.09.2018 19:34:26] NO-Another.Won: Confirm.
[01.09.2018 19:34:29] LH~Static: Then we are leaving.
[01.09.2018 19:34:38] LH~Static: Engage formation sequence.
[01.09.2018 19:34:40] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Wolfgang: Greetings
[01.09.2018 19:35:00] LH~Static: Felicity: Good evening, mister Weisen.
[01.09.2018 19:35:06] NO-Another.Won: Good evening. Taskmaster Kane, Fourth Octavarium Fleet.
[01.09.2018 19:35:09] LH~Static: Navy contact on scanners.
[01.09.2018 19:35:16] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: We will escort you.
[01.09.2018 19:35:21] NO-Another.Won: Whose heart rate is now something on the order of two hundred beats per minute.
[01.09.2018 19:35:27] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: Navy? Again?
[01.09.2018 19:35:35] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Wolfgang: Ahh Mr Kane. I have heard so much about you..
[01.09.2018 19:35:39] LH~Static: This is unnecessary, captain. Mind your business, we can handle ourselves.
[01.09.2018 19:35:50] H|-SNS-Bering: Yann: Alright.
[01.09.2018 19:35:54] LH~Static: Farewell.
[01.09.2018 19:36:09] NO-F-Saronsen: How conveient they were all waiting right here.
[01.09.2018 19:36:12] NO-Another.Won: Jesus H. Christ.
[01.09.2018 19:36:27] LH~Static: I have expected this. Which is why i have escorted you.
[01.09.2018 19:36:40] LH~Static: Alone you would've run into trouble.
[01.09.2018 19:36:52] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Do you need help Ms Willing?
[01.09.2018 19:36:54] NO-Another.Won: I'm curious as to how they knew.
[01.09.2018 19:37:03] NO-Another.Won: Is the blockade just... constant?
[01.09.2018 19:37:06] LH~Static: Negative, mister Weisen. We are safe.
[01.09.2018 19:37:24] LH~Static: Since the Pacifica was struck with Nuclear EMP payload.
[01.09.2018 19:37:36] NO-F-Saronsen: Considering the encryption from the Lane Hackers, and the encryption based on the Hackers, it wasn't an interception.
[01.09.2018 19:37:40] LH~Static: Harmony is blocking any incoming traffic with supplies for Alster Union.
[01.09.2018 19:37:45] NO-Another.Won: Liberty's western border has gotten terrifying.
[01.09.2018 19:38:07] LH~Static: Nice work, countermeasures...
[01.09.2018 19:38:46] NO-Another.Won: I appreciate that they'll just roll over for the Hackers, though.
[01.09.2018 19:38:58] NO-Another.Won: Fantastic position you're in.
[01.09.2018 19:39:05] NO-F-Saronsen: They might have words about it today, but I doubt they'll know what the cargo was intended for.
[01.09.2018 19:39:06] LH~Static: They haven't lost their mind yet to oppose us.
[01.09.2018 19:39:20] NO-F-Saronsen: If we were bringing, say, munitions on the other hand
[01.09.2018 19:39:24] NO-F-Saronsen: They might've taken umbrage.
[01.09.2018 19:39:39] NO-Another.Won: This feels right, though, you know. The "former" Raiders and the Lane Hackers side by side again.
[01.09.2018 19:39:57] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Wolfgang: Does it bring back memories Mr Kane?
[01.09.2018 19:40:10] NO-F-Saronsen: I actually never worked with the Inner Circle in my time as a hacker. Funny that.
[01.09.2018 19:40:13] NO-Another.Won: God, does it ever.
[01.09.2018 19:40:19] NO-Another.Won: I missed this. [01.09.2018 19:40:21] LH~Static: I personally overheard them blocking even less threatening traffic coming in. Pharmaceuticals, supplies for life sustaining.
[01.09.2018 19:40:48] NO-F-Saronsen: A bunch of processed metals not even used in major construction might confuse them.
[01.09.2018 19:41:01] LH~Static: Perhaps so.
[01.09.2018 19:41:21] NO-Another.Won: However it'll get parts for the Sirene made up nice and quickly.
[01.09.2018 19:41:23] LH~Static: We only rely on Alster Union having use for them.
[01.09.2018 19:41:57] NO-F-Saronsen: Do you still need an escort Taskmaster, or can I break off now for a private matter?
[01.09.2018 19:42:09] NO-Another.Won: You can break off now. All good.
[01.09.2018 19:42:12] LH~Static: So they are putting into use by bolstering their Spyglass-based battleship?
[01.09.2018 19:42:18] NO-Another.Won: Thanks for the escort.
[01.09.2018 19:42:24] NO-F-Saronsen: Of course.
[01.09.2018 19:42:25] LH~Static: You're welcome.
[01.09.2018 19:42:26] NO-Another.Won: Seems that way, yes.
[01.09.2018 19:42:50] NO-F-Saronsen: I'll be in Liberty for some time, let me know if you need something specific picked up to bring back home.
[01.09.2018 19:43:00] LH~Static: I see. Anyway, i will leave you at Barrier Gate in Coronado.
[01.09.2018 19:43:10] LH~Static: From there you should be able to travel safely.
[01.09.2018 19:43:23] NO-Another.Won: Get some of that crap ale the local cops like to drink. I want to play a prank on Agent Shiranui.
[01.09.2018 19:43:30] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Mr Kane, I was wondering.
[01.09.2018 19:43:32] NO-F-Saronsen: Now that's just evil.
[01.09.2018 19:43:56] NO-Another.Won: Mm? [01.09.2018 19:43:57] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: What does the Crayterians say about NO's relationship with the Maltese?
[01.09.2018 19:44:06] NO-F-Saronsen: Depends which one you ask.
[01.09.2018 19:44:07] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: do*
[01.09.2018 19:44:31] NO-Another.Won: They are... tearing themselves up over it, frankly.
[01.09.2018 19:44:41] NO-F-Saronsen: This is actually in a literal sense too.
[01.09.2018 19:45:05] NO-Another.Won: Their intelligence and parts of their government condone it on the grounds that Cardamine stays out of 44.
[01.09.2018 19:45:15] NO-Another.Won: Their fleet is VERY much not on board.
[01.09.2018 19:45:15] LH~Static: They, apparently, couldn't care less about Tau-44 and it's containments.
[01.09.2018 19:45:24] LH~Static: Unless the recent power shift.
[01.09.2018 19:45:41] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: You should know we are closely monitoring your situation with CR... If it ever gets worse
[01.09.2018 19:45:42] NO-Another.Won: Their Fleet Admiral, recently installed by CIS, is very much "Crayter for Crayterians".
[01.09.2018 19:45:57] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: I think you could rely on your Hacker friends creating a distraction in Coronado.
[01.09.2018 19:46:16] NO-Another.Won: That's a phrase I missed hearing, Repossessor.
[01.09.2018 19:46:18] LH~Static: It looks like they have a new fleet admiral in charge of things, with old one turning into an exile, that's how it looks.
[01.09.2018 19:46:26] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: Sounds like like Crayter has more issues than they let on, anything more on this 'coup'?
[01.09.2018 19:46:41] NO-Another.Won: Their old one was charged with treason.
[01.09.2018 19:46:59] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Typical dictatorship masquerading as "republic".
[01.09.2018 19:47:22] LH~Static: Based off... anything particular, or just an actual coup covered by this?
[01.09.2018 19:47:35] NO-Another.Won: All I know is that their Intelligence agents arrested him and installed some guy named Xavier as the Fleet Admiral, and that-
[01.09.2018 19:47:52] NO-Another.Won: - he is very much not a fan of the way we conduct our business with what he considers to be "common scum".
[01.09.2018 19:48:00] LH~Static: So a coup, after all.
[01.09.2018 19:48:18] NO-Another.Won: In other words, he is looking for an excuse to flip on the Natio and lay siege to our population.
[01.09.2018 19:48:30] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: So it would seem. And a Xeno-like one at that.
[01.09.2018 19:48:32] NO-Another.Won: I would not be surprised if he was in the pocket of the Libertonian corporatocracy. [01.09.2018 19:48:38] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: That's valuable piece of intel.
[01.09.2018 19:48:54] LH~Static: I have everything recorded since we have moved out from Mactan.
[01.09.2018 19:49:03] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Why would Libertonian corporations have enmity against the NO?
[01.09.2018 19:49:16] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: And do you have any evidence?
[01.09.2018 19:49:19] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Before you left Liberty we know you were in bed with them.
[01.09.2018 19:49:47] NO-Another.Won: We worked with an Interspace-funded corporation that we were under the assumption was just funded by them. Turns out...
[01.09.2018 19:49:52] NO-Another.Won: Well, it wasn't. It was a front.
[01.09.2018 19:50:02] NO-Another.Won: We left them to deal with the Gallics when we went into exile.
[01.09.2018 19:50:07] NO-Another.Won: A fitting end.
[01.09.2018 19:50:32] NO-Another.Won: A severe mistake, one that cost us lives and good will.
[01.09.2018 19:51:05] NO-Another.Won: It's shown us the truth. We have no place in the world of the law.
[01.09.2018 19:51:26] LH~Static: The law was never written for people, the likes of you and us.
[01.09.2018 19:51:32] LH~Static: At least, not in Liberty.
[01.09.2018 19:52:15] NO-Another.Won: The Bretonians aren't bad. Nice folks, good heads on their shoulders. Somewhat fans of the Maltese, which puts them good in my-
[01.09.2018 19:52:18] NO-Another.Won: -book.
[01.09.2018 19:52:48] LH~Static: Think we should be concerned with that new Fleet Admiral of them? He seems to be less open for... well, anything.
[01.09.2018 19:53:02] NO-Another.Won: I... may have pulled a favour.
[01.09.2018 19:53:04] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: What business do you have with Bretonia?
[01.09.2018 19:53:16] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: I apologise if I missed that part of the conversation.
[01.09.2018 19:53:25] NO-Another.Won: Crayter Intelligence saw his anger and contacted me.
[01.09.2018 19:53:25] LH~Static: Through, i doubt he will last for long enough to actually mess things up.
[01.09.2018 19:53:34] NO-Another.Won: They openly threatened to remove him from power.
[01.09.2018 19:53:35] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: But are you not based far to the North of Bretonia?
[01.09.2018 19:53:48] LH~Static: Eh?
[01.09.2018 19:53:57] LH~Static: Now i feel like i am missing something.
[01.09.2018 19:54:00] NO-Another.Won: We're only a few short hops from Bretonia, so what we do is of concern to them.
[01.09.2018 19:54:12] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: I think it is easier to trade and deal with Kusari than run through multiple blockades to reach Bretonia.
[01.09.2018 19:54:22] LH~Static: However, that clearly prooves the following: Fleet Admiral Xander is a puppet.
[01.09.2018 19:54:23] NO-Another.Won: But they're smart, and they're friendly. Their outreach is always cordial.
[01.09.2018 19:54:30] LH~Static: A pupper of Crayter Intelligence.
[01.09.2018 19:54:35] LH~Static: Puppet, even.
[01.09.2018 19:54:41] NO-Another.Won: Crayter Intelligence installed him, but they don't seem opposed to removing him.
[01.09.2018 19:54:54] NO-Another.Won: They ordered a fleet movement.
[01.09.2018 19:55:16] LH~Static: See? They are in control.
[01.09.2018 19:55:22] LH~Static: He's just a facade for their power.
[01.09.2018 19:55:25] NO-Another.Won: Indeed.
[01.09.2018 19:55:31] LH~Static: Be careful, Taskmaster.
[01.09.2018 19:55:48] NO-Another.Won: Thank you for your escort and kind words today.
[01.09.2018 19:55:48] LH~Static: Well, mister Kane.
[01.09.2018 19:55:53] LH~Static: This is where we part ways.
[01.09.2018 19:55:56] NO-Another.Won: I think we've made real progress.
[01.09.2018 19:56:01] NO-Another.Won: On many fronts.
[01.09.2018 19:56:11] LH~Static: Indeed, this can not be argued.
[01.09.2018 19:56:30] LH~Static: Watch that admiral and 'his' actions closely.
[01.09.2018 19:56:36] LH~Static: And be careful.
[01.09.2018 19:56:38] LH~Airdrie.Oppressor: I wouldn't know. Why Bretonia would worry about you when they have other issues is surprising.
[01.09.2018 19:56:54] LH~Static: I hope to see you again rather sooner than later, mister Kane.
[01.09.2018 19:57:04] LH~Static: Farewell.
[01.09.2018 19:57:07] NO-Another.Won: Likewise, agent.
[01.09.2018 19:57:11] NO-Another.Won: Good flying.
[01.09.2018 19:57:25] NO-Another.Won: I believe we have accomplished some good things here today.
[01.09.2018 19:57:48] NO-Another.Won: Thank you for the opportunity. It means a lot to the former Vagrant Raiders for the relationship between us and the--
[01.09.2018 19:57:56] NO-Another.Won: --Lane Hackers to be recovering.
[01.09.2018 19:58:04] LH~Static: We only had to find the mutual ground to stand on.
[01.09.2018 19:58:11] LH~Static: This was a place to start.
[01.09.2018 19:58:52] NO-Another.Won: Indeed. We'll keep you posted on how things are going from our side.
[01.09.2018 20:00:01] LH~Static: That was a complete success.
[01.09.2018 20:00:15] LH~Static: We even got more than we've expected.
[01.09.2018 20:00:47] LH~Static: Professor Yoshida shall be pleased with the outcome of this endeavour.
[01.09.2018 20:01:53] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: It depends
[01.09.2018 20:02:09] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Of how things developed in Bering. Were you seen by Harmony?
[01.09.2018 20:02:45] LH~Static: Yes. Their siege cruiser have met us at Hudson anomaly. Harmony was stationed not far from Pacifica.
[01.09.2018 20:02:59] LH~Static: I have expected this.
[01.09.2018 20:03:16] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Did they say anything? Did the Siege cruiser follow the convoy to Pacifica?
[01.09.2018 20:03:18] LH~Static: So that actually covers up another point i wanted to check on.
[01.09.2018 20:03:39] LH~Static: I will include all the relevant data into the report.
[01.09.2018 20:04:19] LH~Static: But yes, the cruiser followed us until Pacifica.
[01.09.2018 20:04:53] LH~Static: They were going to instill their blockade on Natio's transport, yet Harmony ordered to let us pass.
[01.09.2018 20:04:58] LH~Static: Thanks to my presence, apparently.
With the successful delivery of the Interloper which was late on the scheduled, we actually managed to have the engine prototype constructed and ready for installation. It'll take a few days, but overall shouldn't be long. Anyhow, apart from the 'assistance' that my eyes don't keep going too far into the inner workings. I must say, your interloper, while light, seems like one mean invention on the level of Electronic Warfare systems. As far as I recall, there was another prototype that was in use on previous stealth technology programs that we had traded ways with each other. Hopefully this will become a versatile system for long range operations, its fast, highly equipped and certainly has good coverage on its firing arcs... I'm sure you have a limited number of these so having them as 'general combat assets' is highly unlikely and a well made decision is to avoid putting these things in that role.
Other than that... I think my work here is done. Unless you say otherwise or I protest. If you need me, I'll be found where I normally am off hours, the bar.
Effective immediately, all ships belonging to Ingenuus Research Group are to be mercilessly plundered for their riches and tech. If they ask why, tell them because of their actions in Bering system.
Zealous Epsilon, we have received your final analysis and reports and I forwarded the data to our scientific team working on this project.
While this is not my field of expertise, I can easily recognize this is a solid and rich work. Congratulations again.
You may stay in Leiden Base for as long as you wish before departing. Two of my men have been assigned to lead you and your team safely to the borders of Liberty. Make sure your "husband" sends someone there to escort you further into Rheinland as we cannot guarantee your safety from that point onwards.
As for your gift you will find it delivered on your ship's cargo hold.
