ENCRYPTION CODE AUTHORIZED:L3-74-O-THETA-F9 RECIPIENT ID: Director of Liberty Intelligence Agency, LIA SENDER ID: Martin Lawrence, Genesis Research Group LOCATION: Unknown, Unknown
Greetings to whoever reads this,
My name is Martin Lawrence, acting C.E.O. of Genesis Research Group.
Now, I'll spare the presentations because I think your agents pictured already a nice interesting portrait of us. But, now I'm wondering, why would one of my captains get harassed with questions, after simply stating that we research technology that can help us fight the Nomadic menace.
There's no secret that in the Omicrons, we are filled with such creatures and that we are trying to defend ourselves from them at all costs.
And when we reach more peaceful systems, we'd like to not deal with people trying to get informations that are not true, like one of your agent claimed that experiments on Nomadic technology was happening, with no proof of so, even after we proved them wrong.
I'm attaching the logs provided by my captain from the beginning, where he clearly was caught off guard by their hostility.
That's why I have denied to respond to any questions made by your operatives.
If you want answers, you can get them, but in a more, let's call it, friendly atmosphere.
[08.05.2020 23:11:38] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Greetings Zoner.
[08.05.2020 23:11:47] GRG|Weatherlight: Good evening
[08.05.2020 23:12:06] [LIA]-Wolverine: A zoner
[08.05.2020 23:12:11] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: You a researcher captain?
[08.05.2020 23:12:47] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: Not exactly. Im the captain of this vessel. My subordinates do the researching.
[08.05.2020 23:13:09] [LIA]-Wolverine: That explains the ammount of personell aboard.
[08.05.2020 23:13:22] [LIA]-Wolverine: What is your team working on?
[08.05.2020 23:13:39] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: indeed. Converting a liner to a research ship. Definitely something to look into. Cheaper than a research cruiser...
[08.05.2020 23:13:58] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Works in a pinch I guess.
[08.05.2020 23:14:22] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: One thing I believe in. Never spend more than what you need to do a job.
[08.05.2020 23:14:51] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: I prefer it that way. We are viewed as much less of a threat to anyone.
[08.05.2020 23:14:53] [LIA]-Wolverine: Now you have the logic of the every military in the history of militaries.
[08.05.2020 23:15:08] [LIA]-Wolverine: And that is an intresting view.
[08.05.2020 23:15:21] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: Why use a battlecruiser or cruiser when a liner will suffice.
[08.05.2020 23:15:34] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: Frees up a cruiser for other uses.
[08.05.2020 23:15:45] [LIA]-Wolverine: Hopkins. I hope you enjoy yourself on a ship put together by the cheapest of materials.
[08.05.2020 23:16:00] [LIA]-Wolverine: By the lowest bidding contractor.
[08.05.2020 23:16:03] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: Up until recently I was a reservist.
[08.05.2020 23:16:16] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: I was flying a 15 year old executioner.
[08.05.2020 23:16:26] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: this feels very robust by comparison.
[08.05.2020 23:16:36] [LIA]-Wolverine: So.
[08.05.2020 23:16:47] [LIA]-Wolverine: Captain...whats your name again?
[08.05.2020 23:16:59] GRG|Weatherlight: Jacob Crawford
[08.05.2020 23:17:09] [LIA]-Wolverine: Captain Crawford.
[08.05.2020 23:17:16] [LIA]-Wolverine: What are you studying?
[08.05.2020 23:17:24] [LIA]-Wolverine: Or rather. What is your crew researching?
[08.05.2020 23:18:42] [LIA]-Wolverine: Hello?
[08.05.2020 23:18:47] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Must be quite the research
[08.05.2020 23:18:47] [LIA]-Wolverine: Anybody home?
[08.05.2020 23:19:04] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: Our primary mission is to develop any kind of technology to defeat the nomads
[08.05.2020 23:19:17] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Now, that is interesting
[08.05.2020 23:19:29] [LIA]-Wolverine: And how do you plan to do that?
[08.05.2020 23:19:44] [LIA]-Wolverine: Explain this a bit more please.
[08.05.2020 23:21:13] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: Im not the scientist. I leave the larger pictures to my superiors.
[08.05.2020 23:21:32] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: Speaking of which...
[08.05.2020 23:21:36] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Well that's interesting.
[08.05.2020 23:21:44] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Greetings
[08.05.2020 23:21:51] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: Good evening Mr. Lawrence
[08.05.2020 23:21:52] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Liberty agents.
[08.05.2020 23:21:53] [LIA]-Wolverine: Would you call your superiors here tehn?
[08.05.2020 23:21:55] [LIA]-Wolverine: Evening.
[08.05.2020 23:21:59] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: Evening captain *yawns*
[08.05.2020 23:22:04] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Mr.Crawford.
[08.05.2020 23:22:08] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: I'm assuming Captain Lawrence might be a superior
[08.05.2020 23:22:13] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Care to explain?
[08.05.2020 23:22:29] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Depends who asks.
[08.05.2020 23:22:41] [LIA]-Wolverine: Well. Captain Crawford here made some interesting statements.
[08.05.2020 23:22:48] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And he can.
[08.05.2020 23:22:54] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Nomad research? Quite a noble cause
[08.05.2020 23:22:54] Rules Tip: If you die to a player/players, you must not only leave and not re-enter the system you died in for one hour, but you must also not attack the players you died to for one hour on ANY of your characters.
[08.05.2020 23:22:58] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Freedom of speech.
[08.05.2020 23:22:58] [LIA]-Wolverine: I asked him to elaborate them a bit more.
[08.05.2020 23:23:05] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: But it is intriguing to us
[08.05.2020 23:23:09] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And you are?
[08.05.2020 23:23:28] [LIA]-Wolverine: I'm agent Wolverine. Liberty Inteligence Agency.
[08.05.2020 23:23:54] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: and I'm Felix Sunderland, likewise.
[08.05.2020 23:24:22] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: I'm sure you would know how intriguing this topic is to us
[08.05.2020 23:24:27] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: So now another branch of LSF?
[08.05.2020 23:24:28] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Of nomad research.
[08.05.2020 23:24:33] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Oh, no.
[08.05.2020 23:24:38] [LIA]-Wolverine: Well.
[08.05.2020 23:24:40] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Oh yes.
[08.05.2020 23:24:45] [LIA]-Wolverine: Technically yes.
[08.05.2020 23:25:02] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Depends on the terminology
[08.05.2020 23:25:09] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Still another branch.
[08.05.2020 23:25:12] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We're independent from the LSF overall
[08.05.2020 23:25:24] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Wow, that's even weirder.
[08.05.2020 23:25:31] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: How so?
[08.05.2020 23:25:35] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Liberty sanctioned another LSF?
[08.05.2020 23:25:46] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: They must have cash.
[08.05.2020 23:25:53] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: More than expected.
[08.05.2020 23:25:53] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: No, Liberty sanctioned it's first civilian intelligence agency in several decades.
[08.05.2020 23:26:05] [LIA]-Wolverine: Let's just say explaining who we are and how we are not the LSF while technically still being lsf agents is a nightmare
[08.05.2020 23:26:13] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Civilian and intelligence are not compatoble words.
[08.05.2020 23:26:17] [LIA]-Wolverine: Thank the bureucracy for this.
[08.05.2020 23:26:20] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: //compatible*
[08.05.2020 23:26:27] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: They are, have you not heard of the ancient times CIA?
[08.05.2020 23:26:43] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And when were those civilian?
[08.05.2020 23:26:43] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We're built on the same principles.
[08.05.2020 23:27:06] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Different, or else you wouldn't be wandering in military grade ships.
[08.05.2020 23:27:06] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: As ever? There are many distinctions
[08.05.2020 23:27:17] [LIA]-Wolverine: So.
[08.05.2020 23:27:20] [LIA]-Wolverine: Back to the topic.
[08.05.2020 23:27:29] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: There is no back to the topic.
[08.05.2020 23:27:40] [LIA]-Wolverine: What kind of research do you conduct again?
[08.05.2020 23:27:56] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Why does it concern you exactly?
[08.05.2020 23:28:05] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: I'm missing that.
[08.05.2020 23:28:11] [LIA]-Wolverine: Because nomads are a threat to humanity.
[08.05.2020 23:28:30] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Now protectors of humanity?
[08.05.2020 23:28:31] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Your friend said that you conduct research on nomad technology
[08.05.2020 23:28:36] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: In Cortez.
[08.05.2020 23:28:41] [LIA]-Wolverine: And Captain Corwford said you are researching and i qoute "anything that helps against the nomads" end qoute.
[08.05.2020 23:29:08] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: I hear that speech once a day in the Omicrons. So yeah spare me the "I protect everyone".
[08.05.2020 23:29:26] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We don't protect everyone, but we do protect what we can
[08.05.2020 23:29:31] [LIA]-Wolverine: Okay. We're not here to take away your research.
[08.05.2020 23:29:33] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: *Yawns* Agents if my presence is no longer required I am going to head back to base.
[08.05.2020 23:29:36] [LIA]-Wolverine: We're not like the paranoid order.
[08.05.2020 23:29:41] [LIA]-Wolverine: So stop this hostility.
[08.05.2020 23:29:45] [LIA]-Wolverine: We're simply curious.
[08.05.2020 23:30:01] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Too much curiosity, and badly placed.
[08.05.2020 23:30:02] [LIA]-Wolverine: Allright Hopkins.
[08.05.2020 23:30:05] [LIA]-Wolverine: Good luck.
[08.05.2020 23:30:19] [LIA]-Wolverine: Oh really?
[08.05.2020 23:30:19] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Stay safe Lieutenant Hopkins.
[08.05.2020 23:30:31] [LIA]-Wolverine: I still do not understand your hostile tone.
[08.05.2020 23:30:37] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Small steps, agent.
[08.05.2020 23:30:37] [LIA]-Wolverine: What did we do to earn it?
[08.05.2020 23:30:42] 5th|Lucius.Hopkins: Captains. Safe flight.
[08.05.2020 23:30:53] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Safe flight Navy agent.
[08.05.2020 23:30:59] [LIA]-Wolverine: So.
[08.05.2020 23:31:15] [LIA]-Wolverine: What kind of research are you doing exactly?
[08.05.2020 23:31:33] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: It's clasified
[08.05.2020 23:31:49] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Classified under whose jurisdiction?
[08.05.2020 23:32:00] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Crawford, please.
[08.05.2020 23:32:16] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Now, why would I answer to your interrogation?
[08.05.2020 23:32:21] [LIA]-Wolverine: Does it involve potentially dangerous nomad technology?
[08.05.2020 23:33:00] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Because what you are doing, is interrogating two Zoners with no proof.
[08.05.2020 23:33:01] [LIA]-Wolverine: And if yes. What kind of safety measures are you applying to keep the alien materials secured.
[08.05.2020 23:33:35] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And apparently, my collegue did nothing wrong.
[08.05.2020 23:33:43] [LIA]-Wolverine: If you fear that i will make your lives a nightmare here in liberty by demanding you stop researching nomadic materials
[08.05.2020 23:33:46] [LIA]-Wolverine: You are mistaken.
[08.05.2020 23:34:11] [LIA]-Wolverine: It would be contraproductive.
[08.05.2020 23:34:16] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Do I look like I have them?
[08.05.2020 23:34:16] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Greetings Vafri.
[08.05.2020 23:34:23] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Or like
[08.05.2020 23:34:25] Vafri: hi guys
[08.05.2020 23:34:32] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Our liner has?
[08.05.2020 23:34:41] [LIA]-Wolverine: So. What kind of research are you conducting?
[08.05.2020 23:34:46] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Agent, diplomacy is the key of resolving issues like this.
[08.05.2020 23:34:54] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Not interrogation.
[08.05.2020 23:34:59] [LIA]-Wolverine: You've been hostile from the get go
[08.05.2020 23:35:01] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We have been looking for diplomacy here.
[08.05.2020 23:35:13] [LIA]-Wolverine: So cut this diplomacy bullshit
[08.05.2020 23:35:15] [LIA]-Wolverine: Hypocrite
[08.05.2020 23:35:15] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Asking the same question three times is not diplomacy.
[08.05.2020 23:35:20] [LIA]-Wolverine: We were simply curious.
[08.05.2020 23:35:23] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: Claiming to research nomad technology in Liberty jurisdiction is quite serious.
[08.05.2020 23:35:36] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Do you have proof?
[08.05.2020 23:35:43] [LIA]-Wolverine: We were just curious if it involves actual nomad materials.
[08.05.2020 23:35:54] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: My question was another.
[08.05.2020 23:36:09] [LIA]-Wolverine: Because then it could potentially pose a security risk to liberty if mishandled.
[08.05.2020 23:36:16] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford:My vessel posseses no nomad technology
[08.05.2020 23:36:26] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And from the logs Mr.Crowford sent me, he says to fight them.
[08.05.2020 23:36:56] [LIA]-Wolverine: And we asked him to explain it a bit more in detail.
[08.05.2020 23:37:01] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: No.
[08.05.2020 23:37:07] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: You see, we also wish to fight the nomads
[08.05.2020 23:37:11] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: You started to interrogate him.
[08.05.2020 23:37:19] [LIA]-Wolverine: No.
[08.05.2020 23:37:19] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: That's the difference.
[08.05.2020 23:37:24] [LIA]-Wolverine: You're mistaken.
[08.05.2020 23:37:29] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And accusing him of doing nomadic research.
[08.05.2020 23:37:31] [LIA]-Wolverine: Trust me. When i'm interrorgating someone
[08.05.2020 23:37:39] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We simply asked him to elaborate, before you launched from Curacao.
[08.05.2020 23:37:41] [LIA]-Wolverine: That person is not sitting in his or her ship.
[08.05.2020 23:37:57] [LIA]-Wolverine: But in an interrorgation chamber in one of our offices.
[08.05.2020 23:38:07] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: From what I'm seeing, no-one of you is in-charge.
[08.05.2020 23:38:45] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: So, I think me and the director of this new agency should talk.
[08.05.2020 23:38:59] [LIA]-Felix.Sunderland: We will be in touch.
[08.05.2020 23:39:11] [LIA]-Wolverine: Good luck with that mister lawrence.
[08.05.2020 23:39:55] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: And I thought you hunted Lane Hackers.
[08.05.2020 23:40:00] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford: You going to go get him?
[08.05.2020 23:40:10] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Uh, times change indeed.
[08.05.2020 23:40:12] [LIA]-Wolverine: A navy patrol was dispatched.
[08.05.2020 23:40:27] [LIA]-Wolverine: I have other priorities.
[08.05.2020 23:40:52] [LIA]-Wolverine: Besides. They can be good informants.
[08.05.2020 23:41:42] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Uh.
[08.05.2020 23:41:57] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: We'll be in touch, Agent.
[08.05.2020 23:42:05] [LIA]-Wolverine: I don't think so.
[08.05.2020 23:42:09] GRG|Martin,Lawrence: Mr.Crowford, let's head back home.
[08.05.2020 23:42:26] GRG|Weatherlight: Crawford:Firing up the cruise engines
So you have met my agents. If my teams have an interest in your ship and/or it's usage, it is easier for both parties to cooperate. I have read your transcript and quite frankly, the questions of my agents were justified. You proceeded to evade and try and make it out we are a hostile force. I can tell you this much, we don't go around looking for fights, information is the name of the game and you failed to provide it.
I find little evidence of harassment, my team were doing their job. All you had to do was give answers. And my agents were friendly, right up to the point you decided to avoid any questions. Also that wasn't an interrogation, believe me, I know.
I will be keeping an eye on your research personally.

Ms. Wolfe,
I think you are new to the job then.
You want to obtain informations out of no-where from us? You do not have any authority on us, especially with this type of behaviour. Especially from a rising organisation.
Our kind doesn't like to be treated that way, especially when we gave harbor to your people aswell on our stations, so we just want a bit of respect.
So, if you want informations, you need to provide informations, don't you think? A fair exchange.
Oh I am not new to the intelligence and spy game, trust me on that one. I was very high up in the Liberty Security Force before my long absence. I know how to run my organisation. Also we never said we had authority over you and your people, we were merely asking what research you were involved in. Maybe, there could have been something there for both of us to gain from, instead the questions were just avoided and my agents were treated in such low regards, they resorted to more hostile negotiations.
Now, maybe we can cease and desist this he said she said nonsense and maybe work out some sort of arrangement on mutual intelligence gathering and research. I have a lot of respect for the Zoners as they have sheltered me on more than one occasion in the Omicrons.
That is all I have to say for now.
Whats say you?

Ms. Wolfe,
Now this is an approach that works for us.
Maybe we can start by presenting ourselves properly?We'll start.
We are the Genesis Research Group. A Zoner organisation that aims to research and develop ways to defend our selves and fight the Nomadic threat. As you may understand, we are in direct contact with them in the Omicrons and most of the Zoner population resides there, so we try to protect them to the best of our abilities, along side the other Organisations within Zoners which play an important role.
We are the Liberty Intelligence Agency as you may already know. Our main aim is to ensure the safety of Liberty, working along side the Navy, Police and Security Force. We wish to eradicate the Nomad threat and identify anyone they have working for them.
To do this, we aim to gain allies in and around Liberty and especially in the Omicrons. Share intel and research that isn't classified to the public. I hope this means we can have a working relationship in the future, as your vicinity to the Nomad problem is to our advantage.

Ms. Wolfe,
I can see how the LIA would benefit from such 'frontier' knowledge when it comes to dealing with the Nomads.
What I don't see is how it would benefit our organization to split already limited resources from their current
responsibilities and tasks, to assist you instead of our fellow Zoners.
What does the LIA bring to the table to make this a proper working relationship, an actual give and take?
We aren't asking you to split your resources. We are merely asking you to share information and possible Nomad movements throughout the Omicrons. LIA will offer protection to your ships as and when we can and we will share information that benefits your organization. Should research data be available from either of us, that can aid in the fight against the Nomad threat, we can share that also.

Ms. Wolfe,
Protection from the Nomads is not something we actually lack, that said extra arms to combat them is not something we will refuse.
I think it's fair to say that the grounds for a stable relationship between our organizations should be founded on mutual trust.
It is on this principle, building trust, that I shall take a leap of faith and believe your objectives are truly as you claim.
Frankly, it's a rare and welcome sight to see an organization who prioritizes fighting the Nomads over other Humans.
As a sign of good faith I am sending you a small gift, a crate with a set of "Scythe Mk II" Tachyon Cannons, four of them to be exact.
You will also find a singular "Hades" Pulse Cannon included as well.
We are aware that Libertonian technology is advanced, but sometimes there is a need for something different to realize ones goals.
I will have them delivered by one of our agents at a base of your choosing. Hopefully they will serve you well.
On a different note, somehow not too long ago we heard that someone put adapted nomadic technology on the Black Market. We cannot stress
how dangerous a development this is, I suggest your organization be on the lookout for individuals with such weaponry if you are not already.
Oh, and one last piece of advice.
There are very few people you can trust in the Omicrons miss Wolfe. You can make alies quite easily to fight against the Nomads, but the
moment you have something they want? Be it supposed "saints" like the Core, or "terrorists" like the Order, they will aim a gun at the back of your
head without a seconds doubt to get it. Wield your diplomacy well miss Wolfe, but don't become dependent of another group for your operations here.
I hope you find this information useful, consider me curious to what degree your organization can reciprocate.
First of all, I appreciate your kind offer of technology and will take delivery of this as soon as I have a ship available to head your way. We are also aware that there are many forces fighting the Nomad threat in the Omicrons and we are happy to assist where we can, just need to keep the Order out of the loop for us to work effectively.
Finally, I actually don't trust anybody, especially in the Omicrons. You don't get to be in my position by being naive and trust people, I have been betrayed in the past and don't intend to be again. I hope this is the start of a good working relationship.
