Greetings, Guildkeeper Henry.
I've reached the destination and I'm ready for the next phase. I took the warheads we hid in Grand Vista Orbital as you asked and from there I've a good visual of the target.
21:15 The Bar is almost empty. There's the bartender and 2 groups of people composed by a limited number of men; the atmosphere is calm as a normal day and the people looked like happy and satisfied of their day. Suddently, a masked man enters at the bar, ruining all that tranquility just with her aspect. His pilot suit is dark as his masked helmet and nothing of human is visible; the entire suit covered all. The man orders a Omega Rade Coreberry Flavour. Then he finds a seat, not so far from the other people and waits there, without drinking.
21:25 Another man entered at the bar, while one of 2 group of people exited from there. He goes to the bartender ordering "...an empty plastic cup". The bartender gives to him a medium-size trasparent plastic cup; the man takes it and looks around. He notes the creepy man and approaches to him calmly, sitting forward him and putting the cup on the table. Something hit one of his leg; it was the barrel of a pistol.
21:26 You're on late. *pours the drink in the plastic cup* I didn't sleep well. Seriously? You know it's not the best of the accomodations here. I slept in worse places ... Nice mask! What are you playing, to the secret agent? *That ailment on the leg disappears. He drinks the drink* *He finishes it.* According to you where we should meet for that thing? *Pouring again on the cup, finishing the bottle* Don't you even have the idea where to start? Why the hell the Guildkeepers chose you as informer? For my unpredictability And do you like saying that in public area? If I should translate what you've just said according your skills, you'd be literally a stupid. Maybe *Looking around, annoyed* Listen, you just did a sh*tty impression now with more than 1 witness. What should I do now? Considering they're all busied to do their business, if you want we could try again tomorrow, same time. *Facepalm* I can't believe it... alright, but just because the HC sent you. If you were someone else... Yes yes, *Drinking* I don't need your threats for a better impression Then go away. At the station main hall, then, same time.
21:30
The man gets up and takes the exit trashing the plastic cup. After some moment the masked one does it too, putting the bottle in another trash. Out of the bar, he takes the way to the station warehouses passing to the back room. He looks around and enters looking always out and after he confirms there wad nobody, he closes it and looks towards the other side. There was that man of the bar.
21:40 The serious part, now. Very well, CURSOR they told me you've got problems here. Yeah, Sentinel Sogan. It's about our depot in this system. We're going to make it work at full power to progress our civilization in the omegas. The base is still uninhabitable and we need resources and time to convert it in a functional station. And what's the problem? Why not contacting the APM for this? We will do later, after you will have cleaned the area. We believe the unlawful activity is increasing and they have NOT to discover the location of our outpost. We're everyone using cloaking devices to go there and to check the situation and looks like the depot is starting to have some problems: After we stopped to go there, we're losing their contact, according to them, for "communication malfunctioning issues" and we didn't directly sent someone to investigate yet and you could be the first. ... Your first task is bringing your specialized crew there to re-enstablish the communications and to send me a message from the base. After then we will have to plan a route to move our convoys in a safe way. What do you think I could find there? Prepare for the worse scenarios, maybe the Red Hessians or the Coalition will have already occupied the depot. In that case, you know what to do. Very well. I won't accept no other form of communication. Do what I requested or you officially failed. Mark the countdown to 48h. You will receive that message.
16:05 Ar Sogan is on the place, 5 minutes early the meeting. Nobody is around and he ensured that every 15 seconds, looking every escape points of the place.
16:10 CURSOR comes. After he entered, Ar locks the doors and the room is suddenly isolated by everything.
16:11 What's the problem? We've got company there. The place was so underrated and abandoned that a gang group settled around there. Just clean them? Yeah, but I need time. Just doing a bloodbath in that station won't bring me to their leader. I need to know everything about them. First of all, I think they're doing business with the Coalition. Secondly, they wander around the system asking the protection money around. Thirdly, I've already killed some of them and I didn't even noticed that. You've triggered them. I don't f*cking care. Let them come and they will only lose people. But I'd have better plans for them. Do you want to bait them? This is the oldest trick of the universe! That's why I won't do that. I'll do better: seeing their world collapsing and then end their suffers. My subordinates are enough to make them ridicolous. Where do you want to start? You know I won't tell you.
18:00 The transport departs from the station and moves through the destination. His bar is a bit populated and it's almost the time for dinner. Ar is embarked with some of his crew waiting for the first move after found the problem gaining some more informations about the place. People slowly starts to leave the area and most of them prefers to stay away from that masked man and his macabre group.
18:15
...Most of them, except another group of men who enters at the bar sitting at the table next to Ar's one; the bar is almost empty and people is careful to not lock the eyes on the just came last group. This one is composed apparently by gangsters and that's why they looked like fearsome. They start to approach at Ar's group.
18:17 Hello, boys!
*One of Ar's crew*: Go away, you hooligan! Hey bro, we're everyone a family! Calm down. Hm, don't worry, George, I'll take care about him.
*Looking at him after a short silence pause*: Who are you?
*Taking a cigarette*: You're talking with Innokentiy, but you can call me Ken. You don't need to be the serious with me bro but... Why are you lighting a cigarette in a closed area? Because I always do that, just one of that won't harm anyone and I was a bit stressed that's why... It's forbidden. The end. ...I wanted to start to have a conversation with yours. *Looks like her friends smirk or sneer*
*Silence pause* Put
down
that
cigarette.
*Throwing the cigarette on the ground* Fine, fine, fine, if this makes you happy. How's going?
*Looking the cigarette on the floor for a moment* I don't buy anything. And I don't sell anything. Cool, we're starting to understand it! So you should start to realize who are you talking with. Nah, we're at a bar and you should be free now, otherwise we hadn't start a talk with yours. Also, I think we could agree very easily and earning something both Oh, really? And what does you make say that? I talked with people like you from much time, mister. I know what I'm saying and doing and I know you will make the right choice, if you don't want to have other trouble. What do you want? Offering you our protection! Someone could bother you and my men can get rid of him in a very less time. You won't regret about our service. Pfft, and what does you make think we're not able to watch ourselves and why should I rely to people like you? Why shouldn't you do it? Because I've already my crew and the empire doing it. Guys like you look like just escaped from a prison. As you can see, looks like it's not enough. Just a small payoff and the things will get better. Am I clear?
18:25 Ar stops the discourse with silence looking the man going more serious in the course of the talk, like if he was preparing for some ambush or similar. The tension started to increase until he takes a bottle of liquor pouring in a glass.
Interesting, you were very clear... ... The only problem is.... that I refuse!
He launches the glass right into his eyes. The rest of the gangsters was going to fight but Ar's Crewmen is quicker to take the weapons and pointing them.
That's enough! You're under arrest for corrupt-
Someone clicks a button of a remote control. The ship was filled of charges that now detonated, going in hull breach and the evacuation was immediately needed so the groups reach the escape pods. The gangsters disappeared without leaving any trace.
20:00 Unknown location. The crew of Sogan is embarked at the Honos after the rescue operations.
So those are the bastards one. Yeah, they placed explosive charges before playing the dumbass with us. Expectable... but it could be avoided. People died in that ship and I hate letting the responsibles unpunished. The issue is I bet they will play at "hit and run" or "guerrilla" games. How could we come them out? Do you see that metal husk? *Indicating a Coalition-affiliated outpost*
20:10
The Honos activates the cloak and reaches the station. After the local traffic is reduced at minimum levels it uncloaks surprising the defence forces and destroying them quickly before they could have time to call reinforcements.

We are ready to offer OUR protection if you want that similar things won't happen anymore. Obviously you will have to pay a monthly tax but the Coalition will stop to persecute you since you showed you can't do secure businesses..
Do you really think to scary us destroying just a small simple outpost? Ha ha, you're really making me laugh so much right now! You just signed your sentence to the humiliation in front of your superiors, death included. Close immediately this communication; I don't wanna waste time with dead corpses!
9:00 Time passed, days passed and one by one the contacts of the unlawful entities started to disappear. First the recons, then the smugglers, until to reach commanders... and even relatives. Their outpost was now surrounded and their guerrilla wasn't enough to stop Ar's fury.
Maybe we exaggerated a bit against them. We confused them with the Coalition... or with Red Hessians... I don't f***ing care! They wanted it and they took it. They have to suffer before I'll listen their wishes of death. Well, the Imperium wouldn't like to waste the army for a bunch of gangsters, that's why I'm warning you. Augustus has been clear about how he sent you the communication. We mustn't make too much noise here! I didn't do that and until I'll do, we will do on my way! The High Command should learn to punish the enemy more than the same. You really think there's something worse than our torture sentences? There's no limit at the worse, CURSOR. You've never been in Leeds I see. No, Sentinel. I'd like Core soldiers would have grown there. They would really know the meaning of work, until those bastard liberals ruined everything with their stupid ideologies and revolts! Hm... In any case we can't continue in this way without even knowing if we really killed the responsibles and their leaders. I had in mind a meeting, looking if they can get out of our territories with their s**t. You know what? You're right.

We can continue without problems. If you want to find a new place to live (out of our empire, of course) we can give you some civilian freighters and some prisoners in exchange of what you illegally occupied.
