We dare to defend our lives.

Oracles and Megaera:

I am approaching you both with a opportunity for.. indemnification from your banishments, allowing me to lift them. I am approaching you both since.. it seems the the Oracles are not what I thought they were, and that Meg, you seem to be interested in returning, not to mention I've seen you with the Oracles once or twice, I believe.

The Administration of Freeport 11 has been taking a more.. proactive stance, compared to my predecessor, Kyu Akibara, regarding the defense of Freeport 11. This means we actively engage in SIGINT and HUMINT, or, in non-military circles, Signals Intelligence and Human Intelligence, the acquisition of intelligence through intercepting communications and discussing things with those who have connections to defense risks.

I know the Oracles have connections to the Commune one way or another, or might be able to figure out how to obtain information about what in god's green Gran Canaria they are doing, and Maybe, you have information as well, Meg.

Ergo, I am asking you to help me protect the people of this station by giving me as much information on the Commune that you have available. In return for your compliance, I will forward this intelligence to the CoF and convince Voncloud to lift the ban against the Oracles. The same goes for Meg, but that's only on a verbal basis, As I have yet to write up the notice - which may never happen if you help me.

On a side note, to the Oracles - I spoke once to a Oracle by the name of Exarch Balor, not Abrolhos, but I believe I spoke to him once as well. Would he still happen to be amongst your ranks? If so, I would like to see him sometime.

Furthermore.. please keep this hush. All hell would break loose if the public caught wind of me working with you, at least, as long as they are currently unaware of your intentions.

Hello, administrator,

I never had hostile intentions to your freeport, not now, not in the future.
Our first encounters were less than fortunate and I apologise.
You make the mistake to think that my curiousity towards the K'hara makes me an automatic enemy to the freeport, that is not so.
I am not an active supporter of their war, but more an observer. You can scan me yourself if you like, you will see I am not infected.
You have my word that I will not take hostile actions towards your freeport, or any freeport for that matter.
And my word is something I will not break.

As for Nomak... we share a common enemy there.
Therefore if it helps you with combating them, I will share what I know.
I must say I have no idea why Nomak decided to attack the freeport, but Nomak and his goons have gone insane.
According to the information that he himself delivered to me, They openly scheme against the oracles.
That is all the information I have.

I hope from now on, our relations will be of a more friendly manner.

Hmm. I was hoping for something more, but That will suffice. Consider your ban annulled.

Hello again, administrator,

I would if I had more, for I want that Nomak gone aswell.
He wants to kill me after all.
But sadly my intel is a month old and have not seen him since.
If I get more, I will let you know.

I thank you for lifting my ban.

Ms. Hanamura,

I had started negotiations with Mr. Voncloud on this matter some time ago and they were heading to logical conclusion. Perhaps you will not need to do anything on this matter and CoF will be happily watching us all cooperate.
However, we are not opposed to sharing information about Commune with you. I will hand this case to a person who deals with such matters better than me.
Just note that we cannot obtain information directly from Commune. There's... A conflict between our groups.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi there. Leonard here. Ive been following the situation. since.. well.. Things are quiet here at the flotilla. For once.

A little bit about us.

Our daily life was complicated, in the past, with some power struggles on Malta.

You see our elders wanted to move all of our refugees and those who dont need to be on the planet to our flotilla which is more or less my project... Ive always felt we could be void-borne even with the Cardamine effects. My brother was about completing the cycle of mutations cardamine does but that is on pause while he is gone.

This is a lot more in common with Zoner life as all of our living space is gutted living space on ships. We get some alien technology to help but that is mostly for infusing the life support with cardamine which is.. well. What everyone needs here.

Were not starving, and we arent sick. but things get boring peoples tempers flare easy if they arent working or fixing things.. it can be a terrible mess if im not hands on or available for people. As I guess will resonate with you a great deal.

As best as I can put it. Oracles have a huge communal mass of different types of people. We mostly work to keep everyone safe and those of us who feel the call to serve are trained and evaluated to do so. Many more who haven't burned their bridges go back to their old lives and even more rarely if they forgo taking cardamine they use that independence to keep their eyes and ears open in places many of us couldent easily go.

But that isnt adverse we only seek to protect and anticipate needs at home. I know the rumors. are.. pretty scary. and to be truthful there was a lot of things we had to do for Malta and.. in regards to our benefactors to keep scrutiny off our doorstep.

Since the exodus its meant we haven't had to do anything untoward or adverse to anyone. Were just working to better ourselves as best as we know how. There is a handful left on Malta but they are the most powerful.

With that in mind the commune are.. not so lucky. They have to negotiate all kinds of .. work and efforts to prove their usefulness. To them this means doing things in the Name of the Hive but the truth is their being puppeteered by Malta.

I can only truthfully tell you the things they are doing NOW are the exact things we had to do to keep some materialist sociopath on Malta happy. Doing favors and working with agents in the Maltesse world and in the alien one. Its a tightrope and both ends are burning.

There are other hives and these are more relate-able to the commune struggle for survival. The infected are also on the same wavelength. As best as we can phrase it is when a human is infected over a long period of time not only does their power grow but their obsessions and their shadows.

We were able to bring quite a few of them from the darkness into peace... but we cant force it This is not a disease that can be fixed with pills. It is a seduction in darkness.. and for what is pure and perfect.. this can become addictive.

The order or even some zoners will say a nomad will infest or infect a human till they do whatever. Can alter the perceptions and memories and mental landscape of a person to do whatever they want.. And for a minority of vary broken people... you know the kind... the greedy the broken and everyone who is constantly in fear of their own survival.. yes they are willing puppets. However... the human body produces a complex and powerful palette of feelings and energies that feel different and alluring and this imprints upon the alien side.

No two cases are the exact same. But over time the relationship becomes mutual. and both depend on the other for power and essence. They both descend into a hell of their own making... If they know no joy.. then they are lost.

They are sick. and while its a small community out here. Everyone has their own corners, their own drives, and the needs are in many spectrum's. The light has cleansed the adverse parts out of itself and does so on a regular basis. Humans have ..turned out to be vary addictive and are keeping their distance now.

You already know the important things. yes the Freeport has been in danger since the fall of Toledo. And it still is.

The hard part about this is. We listen but we arent spies. We learn but not for harm. We unify but not to subjugate. We master.. because there is only mastery of the self.

Exarch Balor
Marshal Flotilla Major.

Oracles:

I was hoping you would know anything about where they generally operate, but given the fact that Exarch Balor brought forth the fact that the Commune apparently is walking a tight rope for both the Slomon K'hara and Nacione Maltesa provides more weight that my assumptions are valid about their general AO being in the Upper Omicrons.

I thank you for this information, and although you're speaking with Von, I want to declare that I am annulling the ban on my end. All that I ask is if you are at the Freeport and encounter a nomad attack to not get involved unless you can do so non-violently.

Like I informed your colleague, Israfel - Keep this hush around the Order, as I'd rather Golanski not catch wind of this - I'm already blowing him off after he started to ask me questions.

Furthermore, Exarch Balor - my offer from long ago still stands. If you wish to still learn more about my past, I am more than open to discuss it with you, and hopefully learn more about the Oracles.

Well if we knew specifics.. we wouldn't be privy to tell just anyone either. Allied information like that is given to us as a condition for us not to be in the way.

I wanted to get out there before this last cluster of problems took all my time away. Im thinking things are stable enough I can just have Thomas drop me off there. Ill let you know when I pop in.
