Greetings. I was told by a man named Cobalt to message a Commander Grey regarding some sensitive matters. The following conversation was had on Ames Research Station and was cecorded by me. It went as follows
Quote:[21.02.2014 18:22:27] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: a collegue of mine went missing
[21.02.2014 18:22:46] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i had hope you knew about anything that happened to her
[21.02.2014 18:23:30] Cobalt: Mhm. Well, I might. The only problem is your following reaction is somewhat predictable to what I'm about to say.
[21.02.2014 18:23:42] Cobalt: Still..I see no harm in telling the 'fammily'.
[21.02.2014 18:24:17] Cobalt: Your dear sister was taken into custody for a few nasty encounters with a very displeasing specimen.
[21.02.2014 18:24:33] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: what do you mean?
[21.02.2014 18:24:39] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: she is in jail?
[21.02.2014 18:25:17] Cobalt: Well, you could call it a jail, yes. Though trying to find her will prove fruitless unless my contractors allow you to see her.
[21.02.2014 18:25:31] Cobalt: More like isolation to be specific.
[21.02.2014 18:25:56] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: who are your "contractors" exactly?
[21.02.2014 18:26:29] Cobalt: Well now, must preserve some professional intimacy, musn't we ?
[21.02.2014 18:27:09] Cobalt: I was the one that received the task of bringing her in. When last I saw her, she was quite well, alive and in one piece.
[21.02.2014 18:27:11] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: I only wish to find my lost freind. I dont mean any hostilities unless she has been captured by my enemies
[21.02.2014 18:27:15] Cobalt: That is, to set your mind at ease.
[21.02.2014 18:27:57] Cobalt: I'm afraid recovering her is not an option. The best I can do is pass you along the network.
[21.02.2014 18:28:07] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: my mind wont be at ease until i know the specific details
[21.02.2014 18:28:16] Cobalt: If they agree to discuss this matter with you any further, you will be contacted.
[21.02.2014 18:28:26] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: you see she was a very important cog in our network
[21.02.2014 18:28:38] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: please tell them to contact me then
[21.02.2014 18:28:50] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: because i am very interested in knowing what happened
[21.02.2014 18:29:15] Cobalt: If by chance, one of the main reasons you're looking for her is that you wish to preserve your secrets, you can rest assured they're not after intel on you. She was merely targeted due to her repeated encounters and interactions with the lights.
[21.02.2014 18:29:54] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: the... lights?
[21.02.2014 18:30:28] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: oh dear what has she gotten herself into
[21.02.2014 18:30:28] Cobalt: Come now Keiko-chan. Your territoriest practically border the edge systems. Surely corporate bodies are not the only thing you've encountered that far away from known space.
[21.02.2014 18:31:21] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: are you perhaps suggesting she encountered a non human?
[21.02.2014 18:32:13] Cobalt: We've no quarrel with our own kind as long as we're allowed to do our job, miss.
[21.02.2014 18:32:25] Cobalt: When they become involved in our job however, then we take action.
[21.02.2014 18:32:46] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: as i said i have no quarrel. and if what you say is true and she encountered ::Them::
[21.02.2014 18:33:06] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: I think i have an idea who your collegues are, and i have no intention getting in their way
[21.02.2014 18:33:16] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: for that is a serious matter
[21.02.2014 18:33:55] Cobalt: I'm glad you once again prove to be sharper than you appear. Yet your motives are understandable.
[21.02.2014 18:34:27] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i just wish taht yoru collegues contact me and update me on her condition
[21.02.2014 18:34:40] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i was an outcast once - and as you may know the outcasts connection with them
[21.02.2014 18:35:01] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i have never met one mind you, and I dont wish to
[21.02.2014 18:35:25] Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[21.02.2014 18:35:59] Cobalt: Good. Then we need not make you a target aswe-..*The comms began to signal and incoming long-range transmission*
[21.02.2014 18:36:35] Cobalt: Well now, if you'll excuse me. *Cobalt's signal went silent yet some static interference came from the ship*
[21.02.2014 18:37:43] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: you must have important things to get to
[21.02.2014 18:37:54] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: but please have your contacts contact me
[21.02.2014 18:38:00] Cobalt: *After several moments of discussion, Cobalt broke radio silence* Well, it seems someone took note of you, Keiko-chan.
[21.02.2014 18:38:09] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: hm?
[21.02.2014 18:38:55] Cobalt: You might wish to arrange something on this network. *He establishes a short upload relaying a program that will allow her to broadcast messages on an unknown frequency hidden in the background of normal comm-networks*
[21.02.2014 18:41:27] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: and who do i contact on this frequency?
[21.02.2014 18:42:16] Cobalt: That is irrelevant. Merely relay your message, and someone will pick it up and drop a reply.
[21.02.2014 18:42:26] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i see
[21.02.2014 18:42:47] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: is that all the information you can give me?
[21.02.2014 18:43:16] Cobalt: Inquire about Cmdr. Grey, and tell them you wish to be granted passage to Zeta on important business.
[21.02.2014 18:43:34] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: zeta... that only confirms my worries
[21.02.2014 18:43:39] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: alright then
[21.02.2014 18:44:01] Cobalt: Should they offer clearance, the route will be uploaded to your ship's navigation computer shortly after.
[21.02.2014 18:44:51] Cobalt: I don't think I have to worry about you being either convincing or persuasive.
[21.02.2014 18:44:51] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: ok thank you for this information
[21.02.2014 18:45:55] Cobalt: *Inclined his head politely* Nothing to it dear. My pleasure.
[21.02.2014 18:46:19] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: i assume ou have owrk to do, and i must return to chanai to think more on this matter
[21.02.2014 18:46:38] Cobalt: Then we shall part ways, for now.
[21.02.2014 18:46:45] [GC]Keiko_Matsumado,: for this involves matters even i hesitate to indulge further
If my senses are telling me correctly i have a vauge idea who you are and what happened to my collegue. I do not wish to interfere with any treatment she is getting I only wish to know she is in safe hands and perhaps see her once more.
