From:Boucher To:Auxesia Subject:We have a problem?
So, let's sum this up
1) Your vessels openly admitted to supplying The Union.
2) Refused to say they can't be sure if they can trust The Union, even though you say you know little of it.
3) Called a Bounty hunter Gunship on our transport who opened fire right upon arrival. He asked "Is that the target" with only your vessels being the possible ones that could have called him.
Code:
[25.02.2021 11:21:40] BHG|Figure.it.out: Is that the target?
[25.02.2021 11:21:49] A/)-Spinel: One would assume that this is a pirate, yes.
[25.02.2021 11:21:49] [ALG]-Gamma.3: Oh hey, a bunter.
[25.02.2021 11:22:02] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: So you called a bounty hunter?
[25.02.2021 11:22:06] A/)-Spinel: Did we?
[25.02.2021 11:22:11] A/)-Spinel: Or did it happen to patrol along the lane?
[25.02.2021 11:22:18] BHG|Figure.it.out: I'll begin to dispose this "freedom fighter" here then.
[25.02.2021 11:22:23] BHG|Figure.it.out: Weapons loaded.
[25.02.2021 11:22:25] BHG|Figure.it.out: Opening fire.
4) Called us "pirates" even though we merely wanted you to say you can't be sure The Union can be trusted.
5) Refused to stop when asked to - again clearly in League with the Bounty Hunter gunship attacking our lightly armored transport
Tell me - why shouldn't The Front issue a Kill on Sight Order against your ships?
[25.02.2021 11:03:12] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Boucher: Pirate? *laughs*
[25.02.2021 11:03:19] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well cut the engines and we can talk!
[25.02.2021 11:03:34] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Boucher: And who might you be?
[25.02.2021 11:03:44] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Auxesian logistical vessel.
[25.02.2021 11:03:53] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: A what now?
[25.02.2021 11:04:00] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Auxesian?
[25.02.2021 11:04:08] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You are a Sirian I assume
[25.02.2021 11:04:33] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Well.
[25.02.2021 11:04:39] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: What exactly is this Auxesia?
[25.02.2021 11:04:51] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Some sort of Hauling company?
[25.02.2021 11:05:02] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Depends. We are separate from Sirian and we were allies of all iterations of Gallia. And not really a company.
[25.02.2021 11:05:06] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Technocracy.
[25.02.2021 11:05:25] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: :::boucher won't even pretend he knows what that means:::
[25.02.2021 11:05:30] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Did you say Ally to Gallia?
[25.02.2021 11:05:34] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well my strange friend
[25.02.2021 11:05:40] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: What is your stance to The Gallic Union?
[25.02.2021 11:06:10] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Neutral. This is why we are here in the first place.
[25.02.2021 11:06:32] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Neutral huh? Are you doing business with them?
[25.02.2021 11:07:05] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Business as getting money where it is possible. Our society needs liquid monetary value anyway, despite trying to stay away fro
[25.02.2021 11:07:07] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: m all of this.
[25.02.2021 11:07:36] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: And you don't care about the atrocities and what they stand for? Another money only driven Sirian>?
[25.02.2021 11:07:54] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Do you know who we are?
[25.02.2021 11:08:10] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: We do know that you are talking about, doesn't mean we 'do not care'. Yes, we do know who you are.
[25.02.2021 11:08:29] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: We did have some interaction with Council and Maquis in the past.
[25.02.2021 11:08:46] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well how do I know you don't go to bed with The Union? You do say you openly trade with them
[25.02.2021 11:08:58] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: I assume you are getting them something back as well
[25.02.2021 11:09:18] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: How do you think a fine movement such as ours could view such acts
[25.02.2021 11:09:36] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Tell you what stranger
[25.02.2021 11:09:39] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: In negative light, that's for sure.
[25.02.2021 11:09:47] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: I need to know you are not just a blind collaborator
[25.02.2021 11:09:54] A bounty pool worth $48.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[25.02.2021 11:09:57] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: So I will need to test that
[25.02.2021 11:10:05] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: How do you think I should do that
[25.02.2021 11:10:29] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: That's out of my reach. I presume you could contact the Technocracy of Auxo directly via NeuralNet.
[25.02.2021 11:10:49] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Or, I could just test you personally, see your ideology right?
[25.02.2021 11:10:53] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: And there could be some interactions between your organization and our society.
[25.02.2021 11:10:59] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: If you truly are neutral and are aware of what's going on
[25.02.2021 11:11:19] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You won't mind saying something about The Union that isn't favourable would you?
[25.02.2021 11:11:32] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: Well, I can tell you about our ideology directly. I think you might be interested in what Technocracy is, right?
[25.02.2021 11:12:02] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You are here, right now, that's all I care about. Politicians are treatcherous and can't be trusted
[25.02.2021 11:12:05] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Tell you what
[25.02.2021 11:12:21] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: you know of the horrible things the people that now are in The Gallic Navy have done correct?
[25.02.2021 11:12:29] A/)-Spinel: No.
[25.02.2021 11:12:51] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You don't know they are simply The Enclave, re-branded, responsible for Leeds and our HQ?
[25.02.2021 11:13:07] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Perhaps you are just an oblivious trader
[25.02.2021 11:13:46] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well trader, how about this - you simple say
[25.02.2021 11:13:50] A/)-Spinel: We are Technocrats, our business is only with our scientific drive, we are not the police.
[25.02.2021 11:14:01] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: As I said, I am just a logistical vessel. I don't really care nor about politics nor about different ideologies.
[25.02.2021 11:14:10] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: "I, operator of LV-Aldebaran, am not sure The Gallic Union can be trusted"
[25.02.2021 11:14:13] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: if you are but a trader
[25.02.2021 11:14:21] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: of course you can't know if you can trust them
[25.02.2021 11:14:32] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: so you won't have any issues saying those words corrrect?
[25.02.2021 11:15:04] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: This is my test. Prove you are not a Royalist collaborator. Say exactly what I asked you to say.
[25.02.2021 11:15:04] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: I'll relay responsibilities to my higher-up who's right over there.
[25.02.2021 11:15:08] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: No
[25.02.2021 11:15:14] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: I am asking you directly pilot
[25.02.2021 11:15:21] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: you are the one doing the supplying
[25.02.2021 11:15:34] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You are the one I need to know isn't just a blind pawn
[25.02.2021 11:15:40] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: if you are neutral and know nothing of The Union
[25.02.2021 11:15:45] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: that phrase will be no issue for you
[25.02.2021 11:15:59] [ALG]-Gamma.3: This is ALG, Gamma 3. What's going on here?
[25.02.2021 11:16:15] A/)-LV-Aldebaran: As I said. Speak with my higher-up. We have strict hierarchy.
[25.02.2021 11:16:16] A/)-Spinel: We are indifferent to your political issues.
[25.02.2021 11:16:24] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: What hierarchy
[25.02.2021 11:16:25] A/)-Spinel: We are not breaking our neutrality for your sake.
[25.02.2021 11:16:30] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: I am asking you personally
[25.02.2021 11:16:43] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: I am merely to ask you to say you are not sure you can trust them.
[25.02.2021 11:16:49] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: if you are neutral
[25.02.2021 11:16:51] A/)-Spinel: And we are declining.
[25.02.2021 11:16:53] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: and know nothing of them
[25.02.2021 11:16:59] A/)-Spinel: That is not neutrality, that is political dispute.
[25.02.2021 11:17:34] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well if you won't prove your ideology - I will give you a chance to prove you are not acollaborating waste of space another way
[25.02.2021 11:17:36] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: what do you propose
[25.02.2021 11:17:48] A/)-Spinel: Wasting space?
[25.02.2021 11:17:51] A/)-Spinel: How does one waste space?
[25.02.2021 11:18:26] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Let me rephrase. You deal with the Union. YOu refuse to say you are not sure you can trust them
[25.02.2021 11:18:33] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Why should I let you go
[25.02.2021 11:18:35] /fi flg
[25.02.2021 11:18:38] A/)-Spinel: And that impacts you how?
[25.02.2021 11:18:43] [FLG]VG-Le.Brethon: what's going on
[25.02.2021 11:18:44] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: come
[25.02.2021 11:18:56] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: you supply my enemy
[25.02.2021 11:19:03] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Guess what I am inclined to do
[25.02.2021 11:19:03] A/)-Spinel: And they supply us.
[25.02.2021 11:19:07] A/)-Spinel: That is how trade works.
[25.02.2021 11:19:12] A/)-Spinel: If not us
[25.02.2021 11:19:13] /fi flg
[25.02.2021 11:19:14] A/)-Spinel: then someone else.
[25.02.2021 11:19:19] A/)-Spinel: You cannot stop all trade.
[25.02.2021 11:19:26] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: stop moving now.
[25.02.2021 11:19:28] [ALG]-Gamma.3: Okay, so I'm just a security pilot. I don't really have anything to say here, I'm just here to protect the Auxo ships-
[25.02.2021 11:19:31] [ALG]-Gamma.3: if the shootings starts.
[25.02.2021 11:19:33] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: >languedoc
[25.02.2021 11:19:34] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: fuck
[25.02.2021 11:19:48] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Well if you are supplying them
[25.02.2021 11:19:53] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: worth coming?
[25.02.2021 11:19:59] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: and you are obviously in league with them
[25.02.2021 11:20:06] A/)-Spinel: If you assume trading is like so,
[25.02.2021 11:20:08] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: Why shouldn't I consider you my enemy?
[25.02.2021 11:20:09] A/)-Spinel: you are obviously mistaken.
[25.02.2021 11:20:20] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: eh fuck
[25.02.2021 11:20:29] A/)-Spinel: Do you believe all resources go to them? And not the civilian hierachy?
[25.02.2021 11:20:40] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: The Civilian hierarchy collaborates with them
[25.02.2021 11:20:42] A/)-Spinel: Do you believe all food simply goes to the Gallic Navy?
[25.02.2021 11:20:53] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: The Gallic Union itself is the Bane of Gallia
[25.02.2021 11:20:56] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: well I guess not
[25.02.2021 11:20:58] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: oh well
[25.02.2021 11:20:59] [FLG]Arthur.Clement: rip
[25.02.2021 11:21:04] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: You support those that collaborate with them
[25.02.2021 11:21:25] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: it's the same as if you were in leagues with them in my book wouldn't you say?
[25.02.2021 11:21:36] BHG|Figure.it.out: Hi.
[25.02.2021 11:21:40] BHG|Figure.it.out: Is that the target?
[25.02.2021 11:21:49] A/)-Spinel: One would assume that this is a pirate, yes.
[25.02.2021 11:21:49] [ALG]-Gamma.3: Oh hey, a bunter.
[25.02.2021 11:22:02] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: So you called a bounty hunter?
[25.02.2021 11:22:06] A/)-Spinel: Did we?
[25.02.2021 11:22:11] A/)-Spinel: Or did it happen to patrol along the lane?
[25.02.2021 11:22:18] BHG|Figure.it.out: I'll begin to dispose this "freedom fighter" here then.
[25.02.2021 11:22:23] BHG|Figure.it.out: Weapons loaded.
[25.02.2021 11:22:25] BHG|Figure.it.out: Opening fire.
[25.02.2021 11:22:28] [FLG]NT-Lumiere: very well. YOu signed a
[25.02.2021 11:22:32] A/)-Spinel: Protecting the transport.
[25.02.2021 11:22:37] A/)-Spinel: Returning fire.
[25.02.2021 11:22:49] [ALG]-Gamma.3: Alright, let's go.
Usually polite and educated people introduce themselves first. For example, my codename's Onyx Statuette, I'm Venator in the Technocracy of Auxo and I hold one of the Directorate seats.
This is done so the respondent wouldn't try to piece the information about you and your organization from all the little titbits you gave us. From what I can recollect, you are Maquis group operating in the Gallia. Charming.
So, answering the question you are inquiring about, namely, "do we have a problem". Unfortunately, I can't give you direct answer on that. Do we? You were acting aggressively towards our logistical vessel by saying to stop, disrupting the logistical operations and your intentions weren't clear at the time. If your issue is that Bounty Hunter Guild was present at the scene then you wrote to the wrong organization: we do not deal in bounties and we do not have ties with Guild and we don't have any kind of agremeent with them and they are not being paid by us. If you want something from us then ask it straight-forward and from the start. You also want to trade? Well, then what are you proposing? Or you want to hear more about transhumanism and technocratic state? I can send you a brochure.
From:Boucher To:Onyx Statuette, Technocracy of Auxo Subject:Sincere Apologies
Pleasure to be communicating with you Monsieur Onyx Statuette. I am simply Boucher. A man of The Front, The Maquis and Gallia who many choose to follow of their own free will.
I suppose this can be chalked up to a missunderstanding in the heat of the situation for which I apologise - Sirian custom might be different from ours and often escapes me. Coincidences happen, I am sure the Bounty Hunter was one and have no reason not to trust you.
So what you are saying is that if I come to your house, space, system or wherever you hail from, unannounced and say I supply and openly trade with your main enemies - you would not only let me roam freely, but not even ask me to stop to answer questions and stance towards your enemy I am trading with?
This explains a lot actually - without the murderous Royals and their collaborators present, Sirius clearly gets along and everyone trusts each other fully. I commend your Technocratic Movement being as peaceful as that. Even more of a motivation for us to see the Royalists and their henchmen burn so our house can be as peaceful as Sirius.
Since you seem to be new to our custom, let me tell you - Gallia is not as harmonious as where you hail from where everyone gets along and you don't need to care about who supplies whom. We are fighting against a brutal Military state, controlled by genocidal maniacs, the same people who snuff out Billions of lives out of spite, those that will nuke, assault, gas and murder their own people if they disagree with them or if they are inconvenient.
This is our custom, we are fighting a desparate fight and can't let The Union be supplied freely - with this in mind I hope you will understand we find it normal in Gallia to stop unannounced incomers and ask for their intent and stance towards our enemies, and often for their help which most who are aware of the situation are willing to provide.
I hope that clears up the cultural differences, and I will ask your ships to respect our custom when in Gallia.
In terms of our larger scale relations and trade The important questions need to be answered first:
What is the official stance of The Technocracy of Auxo towards the Gallic Union Gallic Navy and Gallic National Intelligence?
Does The Technocracy of Auxo recognise their warcrimes and the danger the above are posing not just to Gallia but Humanity as a whole and agrees at the very least The Royals and those that enabled them need to face justice?
I thank you for answering these - we need to see where you stand before any other steps are taken.
