Dear Saiska,

As you originally said I should do, I have started securing people for a proper security detail for the Freeport. So that we can maintain our own security instead of getting a hundred different banners to come to our aid.

You're more than likely going to be mad with me the way I'm doing this, and... Well... I suspect this is for me a make or break on the Zoners as it is.

So, I've asked people from all different factions to operate under disguises and under the Zoner tag. Put all their differences aside to fight under a united cause, specifically securing the Freeport. The way in which we will be doing this, is under the pseudonym of "Velvet wing". All we need are ships that we can use. They will be flying under Zoner identification with a strict no-name basis. I have already set up a few ships for trial, should you wish to see if this is something that you would be interested in. This "Velvet Wing" will be able to assist in our previously mentioned "Pennybrooke" situation, as well as any others that arise.

Naturally, there won't be a go ahead until you're happy with this. As well, Velvet Wing can also be utilised for other specialist needs, as I am more than happy to take lead on their training, sharing my previous experiences, and drawing from everyone else's experience from their respective banners they usually fly under.

As far as keeping the peace between them, that is what I would consider my foremost priority within the team.

Anyway, let me know what you think. I won't give names, but currently, I can secure 7 people at time of sending this. All from varying backgrounds who have agreed to my current terms.

Melissa Jones, signing out.

Good day, Miss Jones.

I can't help but have mixed feelings about this, and I believe this requires a certain explanation for you to understand.

I've taken the administration and command of Freeport 11 a bit less than two years ago, and before that I've actively followed all memorable events surrounding my station. Freeport 11 is a highly controversial and delicate matter. All the drama about this station has managed to cause apathetic reactions from all over Sirius whenever anything related to my station is reaching the public - polarizing the public opinion on this station. Many people would prefer we would just give up the freeport and save ourselves the time, nerves and resources. Many people however believe in the importance of Freeport 11 as neutral ground and gateway into the depths of the Omicrons. And then there are the Omicron Supply Industries, Ingenuus Research Group and other smaller groups that use Freeport 11 as base of operations in terms of research and commerce. Some very few people even believe Freeport 11 to be a good place for diplomatic negotiations, and let me tell you, Core and Order surely not.

It is always good to see ambitious people willing to be active in Omicron Delta, with good intentions. Past has shown that this requires regulation, though. About two and a half years ago, against the former administration back then, a group of self-proclaimed Zoners and more so self-proclaimed Freeport 11 Security - in fact not hired or approved by said former administration - dragged the entire Zoner Community into a war with the Core. They pretended to speak on behalf of the entire community, which is absolutely impossible, given how different and diverse Zoners in general are. The Core was welcoming this without a second thought and engaged in hostile actions not only against the actual instigators but also against OSI, IRG and TAZ and many other uninvolved individuals and smaller groups.

This is something we cannot allow again to happen, not even anything remotely like that.

As I said, I appreciate the people who are still hanging around in Omicron Delta for non-violent purposes. So before I approve of anything that goes beyond the singular job I offered you, or even offer supportive funding, there are a few things that need to be made clear.

First of all: I would really like to know who you are. Little about you is known to me, apart from you apparently having worked for the LSF in the past. Aside from that, nothing. I need to know who you are, what your intentions are, why you are here in Delta, what your set of skills are and your opinions on the Omicrons, Freeport 11, the Core, the Order, the Zoner Community and their three major factions, the Cretans, the Maltese, Commune, Daumann and Ennibeck, the Nomads, AIs, the Houses, et cetera, et cetera.

Also, while I can understand you which to keep names of possible partners or inferiors secret, I sort of require a little dossier about who you wish to have at your side in case you seek funding. And I need to know how reliable they are, not only in combat but also in the three main activities of an external security apparatus, which leads me directly to what I expect from you and your Velvet Wing.

Previous security assets had the tendency to provoke in multiple ways, overstep their permissions and cause more trouble than they were helping in securing Freeport 11. My absolute demand from you is to act de-escalating. Do not provoke. Do not take anything too far. Get in touch with the Laws of the No-FIre-Zone - that neural net page is slightly outdated, but still contains the essence our regulations. Make sure you and your Velvet Wing do not contradict with these regulations. Do not pretend to be able to enforce these laws - keep your limits. Only designated assets of the TAZ, IRG and OSI are permitted to do that at this point. (// ID lines) What I need is reliable people that are around to defend the station in a worst-case-scenario, as well as to prevent these worst-case-scenarios from happening by acting de-escalating.

If you believe a situation can't get solved diplomatically, leave. Hostile individuals know the Freeport is a bastion at this point, able to withstand days and weeks of sieging. These hostile individuals are more interested in anything that is not protected by the station's shields and armor. Should the only way to avoid the start of a fight be to leave the area, do that first. If that doesn't help, it is your choice to engage a potential threat in self-defense, in protectino of other Zoners or Freeport 11. Again, the importance is in the details and accuracy of this wording.

If you can appect my conditions and provide the information I requested, I will approve you officially as designated security asset and share this with the Freeport Network, so others know about your status. Freeport 11 is closely working together with OSI, IRG and Freeport 5 in Omega-41, so this is a necessity for them to know, and maybe they can offer you additional funding, should you do a good job. Someone needs to pay fuel, repairs and ammunition, right?

Good Evening Saiska,

To confirm what you're asking, I'll gladly send you all the details, seeing as the way I see it, I work for you now.

I'll send you a copy of my audio recordings, which I have just started recording, but will give you all the details you will need. You can access them here

Because my audio logs are very much in their infancy, some of the details that are relevant;
Age: 26
Height: 5'5"
Previous work: 7 years in the LSF, A year and half of self employment specialising in information
Intentions: I guess I just want to secure humanities future, and with what we've recently learned from Katherine of the RV-Pennybrooke, I can't sit idly by. I feel the Zoners will be my best bet to achieve this now. I will go into more details in a short while.
Views on other human factions: Not interested in their politics, not with what real problems we will soon be facing. Guess you can call it my life's calling, the only thing I can now be passionate about.

What I can provide: Security, honesty and above all else, experience in dealing with this sort of thing. I can provide knowledge, their tactics, and what sort of fleet sizes they have, from my findings of back when I was in the LSF. While I draw breath, I will do my upmost best to secure the Freeports and all Zoner stations from the Nomads and their followers.

All names and pilot details can be shared to you, however, as I plan on bringing people from all sorts of backgrounds for this... I'm sure you can imagine anonymity will be one of their main factors of agreement. But, between you and I, we can know their true details, if that's something that would make this more agreeable. Don't worry about people being agreeable. I will make sure that they are people with whom the Zoners can trust. Politics be damned, no matter how important it is.

As far as reliability of the wing... Again, this is something that until it's truly put to test, we cannot be sure of. However, it's now in my foremost interest to make sure those who I get involved will not just be run of the mill people, and I will brief them fully.

Don't worry. We won't be enforcing laws. We're just mostly there to protect the Freeport for when things go south, so to say. Seeing as that will continually happen. Hopefully gives you one less of the many headaches you're going to be getting. Besides, we won't be stepping on any toes.... Rest assured of that.

I'm sure, we can also branch out, should it be requested.

If you need. I can give a first hand demonstration of the capabilities with what I can currently get set up.

Saiska, truly. Thank you so much for your time on this. This is literally all I can think about. The safety of Humanity is paramount to me.

I look forward to any reply, should I be so fortunate.

Melissa Jones, signing off.

Miss Jones,

Words can provide only so much trust. I'm willing to give this cooperation a shot.

This should be enough to set up a few more snub vessels or a basic gunboat. I leave it to you how you invest the funds for the Velvet Wing. Should this cooperation appear to be a fruitful investment, I'll see what other means I can arrange to support you and your partners.

I strongly suggest you introduce yourself to Dr. James Erzie, Dr. Viktoria Erzie, Administrator Nicole Malakai of Freeport 5 in Omega-41 and Jerard Voncloud, the administrator of Livadia Shipyard, and maybe Director Paul Mendes of the Omicron Supply Industries. If you prove yourself useful to them, they might help you helping them even further. Establishing connections is usually a good step in the right direction.

Good luck out there, Velvet Wing!

Dear Saskia,

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I promise, you won't regret this. I will make sure that every member of Velvet can be accountable to you if needed. However, like I have previously said, their true identities should be kept secrete from one another, given the sensitive nature of who I am getting in on this.

I have just sent a full message to all of the Freeport administrators, including yourself. I now consider you my direct boss in any relations to Velvet, and we will remain at your disposal. I will be doing some form of recruiting or something when I get the time.

For now, I cannot thank you enough for this opportunity.

Wishing the best,

Melissa Jones.
