There's really nothing new at the moment, beyond our confirmation of them siding with the Corsairs - in Combat and Artifact Trade. Egh. Disgusting Cretins. But... if I see anything interesting in the Independant Worlds or around Liberty - I'll toss it your way. Keep in mind that we have to avoid Liberty due to the negotiations.

[22.10.2016 13:36:43] Fiach.Dubh: So.
[22.10.2016 13:37:02] Fiach.Dubh: I don't get money for degenerates, because they're too easy.
[22.10.2016 13:37:17] Fiach.Dubh: Come on, let's go get some ice cream or something. *baffles out a chuckle*
[22.10.2016 13:37:18] Asbolus: Like I said - not worth the effort, no money to be earned.
[22.10.2016 13:37:25] Asbolus: Mhm. I'm down.
Keeper Raven, I dont know who else to turn to but last night was a turning point for me and i had decided to write all my frustrations down in my captains log, i am giving you permission to read this one excerpt please tell me im not losing my mind
Captains Log, Subject: Where does this road take me?
I am tired... i feel so alone in this fight that i started against the Nomads so long ago. It does not seem the command in the Liberty Navy take this seriously anymore. I have been brushed off as some world ending fanatic who doesn't know what he is talking about. Im down... and beaten. I know in my heart i have to get up in the morning because they can come at any moment. How long? How long will i have to continue facing the truth. Liberty will never be ready for the Nomad war that is to come. I found small grace with Keeper Raven of Auxesia. She of all people, a woman who i used to despise, understands me. Feels what i feel and will stop at nothing to keep the Nomads at bay. But we work on separate fields. Meeting in secret and discussing plans. While our recent topics have gone a bit away from Nomads i know i can go back to the core of our initial relationship and she will be there to help me in this battle. People just don't know the Nomads are amassing their forces in Omicron Iota. The Order lines will soon be broken, The Core is to worried about Zoners to engage in the real threat, Corsairs care nothing but themselves and are a rare sight near Iota. Most of the Outcast will join the Nomads in the destruction of the Human race. Their Cardamine addiction has proven to much for them and with the creation of Liquid Cardamine by the Nomads its only a matter of time before full control is secured by the Nomads. Anyone who is to underestimate the Nomadic power are fools. Sadly time is running out to prepare. We fight each other in wars that could be spent gathering resources. But with Gallia moving its causing nothing but death. And here i am, Newely promoted Commodore Jonathan Kalh of the 5th Fleet... Still powerless to save us from the coming doom. In my mind i know i have failed us, I tried so hard to make friends and get people to work togeather. But it only turned in betrayal and mistrust. I have asked permission to upgrade the Amenhotep further. She sits now at Washington shipyard awaiting the needed parts. I hope my strength and direction i take my crew will be mimicked by others. We all must grow stronger if we are to see the sun rise from our respected planets. To watch our families grow, to love, Feel, and embrace happiness. The road is dark and perilous but there is still light at the end of the tunnel... if only everyone could see it as i do.
I just dont know what to think anymore. I need your guidance
I'm not really the one who's qualified to do... uh... personal advice.
If you focus on hunting down the enemy rather than building yourself up, I... I guess you can trip along the path that you chased them down? That you forget to be aware of your surroundings? You and I both know Liberty can't go to war in the Omicrons.
Also, cute; I completely knew you were interested in me.
Well, behind that mask im sure is a beauty to behold but i digress.
You are right, Liberty cant fight the war in the Omicrons and me thinking i could do well in Liberty and get them ready for the coming war would be a good thing. It seems not. I struggle to find my place Raven. You know the old saying? "Stuck between a rock and a hard place." Its how i feel. I dont know if i should stay with the Liberty Navy or move on and take the fight head on with the Nomads.

Oh please, everyone knows I hide this face because there's secretly a dragon or some other mythical creature behind it, ready to burn when somebody decides to take a naughty peak.
Either way.
I suppose I can understand what you mean, but, is taking the fight on to the Nomads truly a good idea? You'll be alone. The Order are busy licking Golanski's feet clean with kisses, and the Core is more interested in technology than wiping them out. I mean, it's no mystery the Order will be extremely angry at you for leaving them, so there's that too.
Aa-aaaalthough, perhaps you could help me. In turn, you'd be helping yourself with your cause. I know a location of a nearby Hive and a really-really shifty... station or two. But, to help me help you - I need to know how the Order security protocols work, how their internals work, typical points of interest on their warships such as the Gunboats, Cruisers, and Battleships, so on, so forth. You know, incase of Coronado.
It's more of a security thing actually. I really don't want a repeat episode, if you haven't figured. I like getting my cards right. And well, maybe I'll throw you a bone about some more interesting locations we've found recently.
Well Raven, perhaps you will let me take that mask off and take a "naughty" peak for myself. Who knows, it could be fun.
As for your request i can help, but remember protocals change. The Order prides itself with the mentality that they are one step ahead at all times. With my departure im sure most things have changed. The Order has checkpoints at all entryways and you will need a randomly generated code that the Order Places on your ship that automatically tells them if you are good to go or not. Such device was destroyed on the Amenhotep due to various combat missions after we left the Order. Normal wear and tear if you will. I know im side tracking a tad but i have taken some time to look at old files and damn... The Amenhotep really has been through some stuff.
Now Fortunate for you my Bastet remained inside the Amenhotep and was unharmed. I rarely take her out of my personnel Hangar and she is in tip top shape. I suppose i can fly to inverness and upload it to your Warship Eidolon.Wraith if you should desire it.
Now on wards to The Order Ship Line... now those however cant be changed. And as Captain i had access to all the files of each Ship the Order had in its charge. I will send you a file of all i have on each ship. Now concerning more... "Special" ships like the Grand Admirals Flag Ship Fedayeen and Admiral Hunters Flag ship are not going to be in those files. They where separate and for good reason. it is said there flag ships are more advanced that the Normal Fleet is... At one point the Amenhotep was compared to those ships, they say as advanced as my Osiris is they still had the upper hand in terms of Armor Plating and a Higher Power core then most... Its expected, they are Flag ships right? I was never with the Fedayeen much... I do have a digital picture of one time i fought beside Grand Admiral Golanski. If it can help here you go. If there is anything else you need im here.
Ms. Raven, please tell me this was just another bad dream? Not only was there a Massive hive in Magellan, but Even the Order Osiris... If my memory serves me correct it is the original one, the one Orillion flew... But if that is here,Then Surely More are supporting it. This along with the added attacks from the Lane Hackers are starting to get me a tad on edge.
Once again, thank you for the previous data. I believe you remember our little trip from the other night as a means of compensation.
It is quite laughable how these infidels attempt to manipulate the masses with their pathetic reasoning. It is nothing more than an excuse to move their war vessels closer. They - naturally - will be eliminated. It is only within our right to punish those who lie, who enslave technology, who go out of their way to spread pure chaos to the unsuspecting.
I - for one - will not tolerate heretics. Technology commends me for destroying who fails to foster it. It is only inevitable that they shall fail.
Ms.Raven, Last i checked (this was back when i was apart of the Order and part of destroying the Nomad Gate in Coronado) They had took there forces back to the Omicrons. What i dont understand is why bring the "Original" Osiris down here? I understand the Nomad threat and all but even a blind man can see we had it under control, there was no need to show itself. But it did anyways.

It's possible that they're going to commence another operation of some sorts. The few possibilities I can think are...
Either preparing an attack on us. Preparing to remove you. Going to indoctrinate more Crayterians. Or some form of Special Op to steal data from someone. But, considering that they appeared so closely, I wouldn't be surprised if it was used for combat.
I don't know, but I don't like it here. Good thing it stopped existing in Magellan. A little saddening that we had to destroy the original Osiris - a ship of Sirian heritage - but it was an imperative.
