This report has been due a while, however, the delay was inevitable, given the situation in Omicron Delta.
Report Subject: Freeport 11 (Open Access)
Responding to the call, the Amenophus also provided aid to Freeport 11, Delivering D.R.O.P. Containers from Tau 29. This caused a temporary diversion from the Blood Dragon project "Senso Kiko", which crew Amenophus shall shortly resume.
An interesting meeting in Tau 29 is logged below. An outcast capital ship with Crimson cross markings followed me to the freeport. alongside it, A Sabre fighter with alien tech and biosignature was present. the transcript is attached.
[03.05.2016 07:16:53] Order|AT-Amenophus: Helmsman: Hostile on our 6, Captain
[03.05.2016 07:16:59] Jared.Nomak: Greetings.
[03.05.2016 07:17:12] |+|-MNS-Genoa: That's a sight you don't see every day.
[03.05.2016 07:17:28] Jared.Nomak: Indeed. Commander. *salutes*
[03.05.2016 07:17:44] |+|-MNS-Genoa: No need for such formalities now.
[03.05.2016 07:18:10] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: All engines full ahead
[03.05.2016 07:18:25] Jared.Nomak: I just want to talk.
[03.05.2016 07:18:29] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I suppose it goes without saying that we want you to cut those very same engines you mentioned.
[03.05.2016 07:18:58] Jared.Nomak: You know.
[03.05.2016 07:19:01] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I suppose the tales are true
[03.05.2016 07:19:02] Jared.Nomak: It's not clever to go there.
[03.05.2016 07:19:21] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: The maltese do have a sense of humour
[03.05.2016 07:19:22] Jared.Nomak: Zoners gonna be very upset.
[03.05.2016 07:20:15] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: You want to talk? let's talk
[03.05.2016 07:20:35] |+|-MNS-Genoa: You can start by explaining what you're doing here.
[03.05.2016 07:20:41] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: Obviously, you know
[03.05.2016 07:20:49] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: or havent you heard?
[03.05.2016 07:21:03] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I must commend you, by the way, on how brave, or foolish, you are for launching again.
[03.05.2016 07:21:19] Jared.Nomak: It's amazing how you come deep in here.
[03.05.2016 07:21:25] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: well, My crew are offboard, and I have a finger on the escape pod trigger
[03.05.2016 07:21:26] Death: Spike was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[03.05.2016 07:21:30] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Fair enough.
[03.05.2016 07:21:44] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: but really, you havent heard?
[03.05.2016 07:21:56] |+|-MNS-Genoa: So about the purpose of bringing that ship here, unescorted. You must be desperate indeed for something...
[03.05.2016 07:22:00] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Enlighten us.
[03.05.2016 07:22:22] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Some of them Core battleships blew up a part of Freeport 11
[03.05.2016 07:22:38] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Over a pack of Cigarettes, that too
[03.05.2016 07:22:41] Jared.Nomak: That's what I've heard, yes.
[03.05.2016 07:22:43] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Indeed.
[03.05.2016 07:22:52] |+|-MNS-Genoa: So you would fly all the way here to Freeport 6 for...what?
[03.05.2016 07:23:15] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I am here to transport emergency supplies to them. Freeport 6 has become the point of distribution for these supplies
[03.05.2016 07:23:23] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I see.
[03.05.2016 07:24:05] |+|-MNS-Genoa: A useful bit of information.
[03.05.2016 07:24:16] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Of course those supplies could just as easily be used to supply the Order.
[03.05.2016 07:24:27] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Which, naturally, is not in our best interests.
[03.05.2016 07:24:32] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: That doesnt explain why you bothered following me, other than the usual: to kill me and my crew
[03.05.2016 07:24:44] Jared.Nomak: Oh, well
[03.05.2016 07:24:50] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I don't know why you would be shocked at this.
[03.05.2016 07:24:57] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I am not
[03.05.2016 07:25:02] Jared.Nomak: I can say I am a bit honored.
[03.05.2016 07:25:08] |+|-MNS-Genoa: You and your kind oppose us on such a fundamental level that no reconciliation is possible.
[03.05.2016 07:25:30] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: that I can say I took no part in.
[03.05.2016 07:25:44] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: but in this space, words are just.....words
[03.05.2016 07:25:53] |+|-MNS-Genoa: You took part in it simply by flying their colors, captain.
[03.05.2016 07:27:12] Jared.Nomak: You see.
[03.05.2016 07:27:19] Jared.Nomak: Zoners like neutrality.
[03.05.2016 07:27:26] Jared.Nomak: Since, they live everywhere.
[03.05.2016 07:27:51] Jared.Nomak: By doing this, you're...
[03.05.2016 07:28:00] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: trying to win them over?
[03.05.2016 07:28:07] Jared.Nomak: As captain said, you could supply order fleet, somewhere around.
[03.05.2016 07:28:16] Jared.Nomak: For example.
[03.05.2016 07:28:20] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Trying to explain that you are forcing them to choose sides in a war that they likely do not want.
[03.05.2016 07:28:32] Jared.Nomak: Thank you.
[03.05.2016 07:28:48] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Though, to be fair, the Zoners are Freeport 11 are likely scrambling for any aid they can get.
[03.05.2016 07:29:00] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Oh please, you think we would involve Zoners in wars?
[03.05.2016 07:29:18] Jared.Nomak: Well.
[03.05.2016 07:29:20] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: My grandma lives on a freeport. you think I would endanger her?
[03.05.2016 07:29:29] Jared.Nomak: Wasn't it easier to get supplies from Gran Canaria?
[03.05.2016 07:29:59] Jared.Nomak: You're comig here and jepardising their neutraility.
[03.05.2016 07:30:02] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I was stationed in the taus. We were instructed to collect supplies from the nearest point
[03.05.2016 07:30:17] |+|-MNS-Genoa: (audible sigh).
[03.05.2016 07:30:27] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: Well, if you are trying to lure me away from the freeport, why dont you say so?
[03.05.2016 07:30:42] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: As I said, no crew, and the escape pod is primed.
[03.05.2016 07:30:49] Jared.Nomak: Well to be honest, I would rather turn you into space dust.
[03.05.2016 07:30:59] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I am not, frankly. We could issue a demand for money or something, but at this point all we would be doing is inconveniencing .
[03.05.2016 07:31:00] |+|-MNS-Genoa: you
[03.05.2016 07:31:12] Jared.Nomak: I mean, that's what I do, I turn Order and Core and everyone else into space dust.
[03.05.2016 07:31:29] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Obviously
[03.05.2016 07:31:46] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: so, what will it be, gentlemen?
[03.05.2016 07:31:49] Jared.Nomak: Commander said vise words.
[03.05.2016 07:31:55] Jared.Nomak: I will follow his decidions.
[03.05.2016 07:32:12] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: ehhh, english please
[03.05.2016 07:32:23] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I am not well versed in maltese
[03.05.2016 07:32:25] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I will turn you into our messenger, in exchange for your ship.
[03.05.2016 07:32:44] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: So, I carry a message, to whom exactly?
[03.05.2016 07:32:51] |+|-MNS-Genoa: First, you may understand that the Maltese have their honor still, and I respect your decision for coming out to speak with us.
[03.05.2016 07:33:11] Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[03.05.2016 07:33:15] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Well, while I may not hold high regard for your people, I respect honourable men
[03.05.2016 07:33:34] Jared.Nomak: We understand that you're just assigned for logistics and transport.
[03.05.2016 07:33:47] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Secondly, we will actively interdict any enemy transports flying through our control zones regardless of their intentions.
[03.05.2016 07:33:49] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Well, yes, at the moment
[03.05.2016 07:34:11] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Okay, hold on. Let me record this
[03.05.2016 07:34:12] |+|-MNS-Genoa: If we catch you away from the Freeport, we will destroy you.
[03.05.2016 07:34:21] Jared.Nomak: What I said, doesen't means you are excluded.
[03.05.2016 07:34:33] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: *whispers to himself* this will look soo good on my neuralnet page!!!
[03.05.2016 07:34:35] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Otherwise, we are not barbarians, and we will respect the Zoners NFZ.
[03.05.2016 07:34:56] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Okay. that about it?
[03.05.2016 07:34:58] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Yes.
[03.05.2016 07:35:12] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: and this message is addressed to?
[03.05.2016 07:35:20] |+|-MNS-Genoa: The Omicrons.
[03.05.2016 07:35:25] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Zoners, anyone really.
[03.05.2016 07:35:28] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: The whole omicrons?
[03.05.2016 07:35:35] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Your superiors is a good start.
[03.05.2016 07:35:55] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to just pulse a transmission from one of your bases?
[03.05.2016 07:36:01] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Let them know that regardless of their good intentions we do not tolerate enemy vessels flying through our control zones.
[03.05.2016 07:36:18] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I am sure your friend over there can help, with exotic tech
[03.05.2016 07:36:19] |+|-MNS-Genoa: This is more likely to be heard. We have been enemies for a long time.
[03.05.2016 07:36:40] Jared.Nomak: Listen. We could've easely turn this into Freeport 11.
[03.05.2016 07:36:41] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Well, if that is it, then I will spread the message.
[03.05.2016 07:36:49] Jared.Nomak: I think that is not what you seek.
[03.05.2016 07:36:58] Jared.Nomak: Better listen and do what is said.
[03.05.2016 07:37:02] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: I am very sure none of the zoners seek that either
[03.05.2016 07:37:02] |+|-MNS-Genoa: We could, but we will not. As I stated, we are not barbarians.
[03.05.2016 07:37:16] Jared.Nomak: By this, you're only doing harm for Zoners, if you care for them.
[03.05.2016 07:37:17] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: I understand that
[03.05.2016 07:37:25] |+|-MNS-Genoa: That said, we are still Maltese. Do not invade our space again, even with the best of intentions.
[03.05.2016 07:37:33] Jared.Nomak: My personal advice is to use Gran Canaria.
[03.05.2016 07:37:46] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I second that advice.
[03.05.2016 07:37:49] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Uhh, even if I find a maltese pilot drifitng in space?
[03.05.2016 07:38:04] Jared.Nomak: Avoid Maltese space.
[03.05.2016 07:38:04] |+|-MNS-Genoa: What you do on a transport route is your business.
[03.05.2016 07:38:16] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Avoid Maltese space is the simplest way to say it.
[03.05.2016 07:38:24] |+|-MNS-Genoa: I sympathize with the Zoners.
[03.05.2016 07:38:34] |+|-MNS-Genoa: But you are still our enemy.
[03.05.2016 07:38:42] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: wow, agressive. Well, It has been good meeting you gentlemen, and your concern for the zoners is well noted
[03.05.2016 07:38:46] |+|-MNS-Genoa: We will treat you as such.
[03.05.2016 07:39:03] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: now, if you will excuse me, it has been a tiring journey
[03.05.2016 07:39:05] Jared.Nomak: If we were agressive, you would float around in pieces.
[03.05.2016 07:39:09] |+|-MNS-Genoa: As a show of our own intentions we will now withdraw from the NFZ.
[03.05.2016 07:39:25] Order|AT-Amenophus: johnson: Toodles. Good day to you both charming gentlemen
[03.05.2016 07:39:26] |+|-MNS-Genoa: Do not forget our message, for your own and your fellow pilot's sake.
[03.05.2016 07:39:35] Order|AT-Amenophus: Johnson: Will do
[03.05.2016 07:40:07] 2016-05-03 07:40:06 SMT Traffic control alert: Order|AT-Amenophus has requested to dock
A gist of the Lengthy blackbox, the Outcasts do not approve of our vessels in "Their Territory", and I daresay they are not averse to using force, either. While this is not new, the Alien vessel allying with the Outcast raises some questions. The nomads, as far as we knew, just chose not to harm outcasts, given their altered DNA. The Wild pilots allying with outcasts is slightly distressing, to say the least.
this is, however, just a part of the incidents of the past week. Further reports shall be filed soon.
