FROM: Lucien Sarti TO:The Order Subject: A gun for hire Bonjour,
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Lucien Sarti, a Corsican who specialises in finding and eliminating undesirable targets. My job is my passion, I do it for the thrill, and while I do need some money, I prefer to hunt for a worthy cause. Recently I heard fom my Corsican brethren that there has been alien presence in Gallia. This intrigued me - aiming my efforts towards some alien abominations? Sign me up. I have went on to search for your Order, and we seem to be very like minded with your agents.
As a little taste of what I can do for you and humanity - I have already ran into what I presume is what you want dead, in the form of K'Hara|Mauve.
It appears that having me in your service against these abominations might play to your advantage - after attacking us ferociously the entity didn't seem to be ready for our Corsican technology or style of fighting and got easily overwhelmed.
Your men say you aren't friendly with The Bounty Hunter's guild. At all - well that plays just fine to my liking. We Corsicans are not the pawns of your usual Sirian house overlords, your cause seems worthy - so I would be honored to be the first Corsican to be on your bounty board. I have already sent my request.
FROM: Lucien Sarti TO:The Order Subject: Addition to request to be added to your board. Rebonjour,
Pardon my bad manners, it is well possible that due to the vast distance you have not received my last message yet, but there have been developments that could excuse my lack of patience.
When moving through The New London System I have stumbled across one Order|Maia. Your agent seemed very surprised that someone friendly was greeting them in Sirian House space to say the least. Maia confirmed our suspition - The Sirian houses are not friendly inclined towards you, and their puppets The Bounty Hunters not only aren't willing to assist you, but actively serve their masters against you. That is not The Unione Corse way - we are not bound by Sirian Masters, and each Corsican can judge for themself who is a worthy employer.
And after the shocking revelation from Maia this could not just be a thrilling adventure for me, but being in your employ could potentially help The Corse cause, and in turn, your cause, tremendously. Maia revealed that Outcast Abominations that have been poisoning Gallia worship the aliens you stand against! Needless to say, this disgusts me - and is just one more reason why I am asking you to accept my services of hunting these aliens and other targets under your employ.
[15.04.2021 21:14:57] Order|Maia: Hi
[15.04.2021 21:15:06] Jaguar-Noir: Nice to see an agent here!
[15.04.2021 21:15:21] Jaguar-Noir: We are hoping you give us business
[15.04.2021 21:15:24] Order|Maia: Yeah? I don't hear this that often.
[15.04.2021 21:15:29] Jaguar-Noir: Oui!
[15.04.2021 21:15:40] Jaguar-Noir: Ever since the aliens appeared in gallia you intrigued me!
[15.04.2021 21:15:48] Order|Maia: Alien?
[15.04.2021 21:16:02] Jaguar-Noir: Some sort of creature!
[15.04.2021 21:16:04] Order|Maia: Large purple ones?
[15.04.2021 21:16:05] Jaguar-Noir: And your agents
[15.04.2021 21:16:09] Jaguar-Noir: Oui
[15.04.2021 21:16:25] Order|Maia: The nomads, that's how we Sirians call them.
[15.04.2021 21:16:27] Jaguar-Noir: Well I went looking for you! And found this "Order" in the Omicrons
[15.04.2021 21:16:30] Jaguar-Noir: Ah bon
[15.04.2021 21:16:51] Order|Maia: Do you have them often in Gallia?
[15.04.2021 21:17:08] Jaguar-Noir: Besides that one? no, never seen it before and since
[15.04.2021 21:17:22] Jaguar-Noir: Your agents were there too I hear from other Corsicans
[15.04.2021 21:17:26] Jaguar-Noir: Anywhio
[15.04.2021 21:17:30] Jaguar-Noir: this intrigues me
[15.04.2021 21:17:36] Jaguar-Noir: I have visited far system
[15.04.2021 21:17:41] Order|Maia: I can imagine.
[15.04.2021 21:17:53] Jaguar-Noir: And The Order - targetting aliens, that is just a thrilling worthwhile cause
[15.04.2021 21:17:58] Order|Maia: They are... strange, but very dangerous.
[15.04.2021 21:18:01] Jaguar-Noir: you see I am someone who...works for people
[15.04.2021 21:18:11] Order|Maia: Some of them can break into your head.
[15.04.2021 21:18:24] Jaguar-Noir: People that need other people or ...things... gone. And the idea of hunting some outworldly beasts
[15.04.2021 21:18:31] Jaguar-Noir: Well let's say it gets me very excited
[15.04.2021 21:18:37] Jaguar-Noir: your order gets me excited, oui
[15.04.2021 21:18:47] Jaguar-Noir: I assume you need any help you can get?
[15.04.2021 21:18:50] Order|Maia: Have you contacted the Overwatch?
[15.04.2021 21:18:52] Jaguar-Noir: against the abominations?
[15.04.2021 21:19:13] Jaguar-Noir: Oui I have, perhaps I will re-transmit, mention we have met!
[15.04.2021 21:19:14] Order|Maia: Every help is handy, I think. Even if that means just a safe harbor to land our ships.
[15.04.2021 21:19:40] Jaguar-Noir: It would be a thrilling honeur to hunt these ...purples for you
[15.04.2021 21:19:42] Order|Maia: Patrols are long and place to land sparse. Especially around Houses.
[15.04.2021 21:19:50] Jaguar-Noir: Oui
[15.04.2021 21:20:00] Jaguar-Noir: see your people don't seem to like Bounty Hunters
[15.04.2021 21:20:07] Jaguar-Noir: why is that?
[15.04.2021 21:20:20] Order|Maia: Because Sirians think that we are criminals.
[15.04.2021 21:20:34] Jaguar-Noir: And The Bounty hunters are their puppets?
[15.04.2021 21:20:40] Order|Maia: Yeah.
[15.04.2021 21:20:52] Jaguar-Noir: Well, Oui - this is where is our advantage
[15.04.2021 21:20:59] Jaguar-Noir: We don't dance like the house overlords sing
[15.04.2021 21:21:08] Jaguar-Noir: we see a good cause, and a change to make thrill and profit
[15.04.2021 21:21:13] Jaguar-Noir: we have no reservations in helping
[15.04.2021 21:21:20] Jaguar-Noir: No strings on us you might say
[15.04.2021 21:21:39] Order|Maia: No strings? Interesting.
[15.04.2021 21:21:52] Jaguar-Noir: Well, it was a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I will re-transmit my request to help you in exchange for contracts
[15.04.2021 21:21:55] Order|Maia: Who are you, actually? I'm not well aware about Gallic afairs.
[15.04.2021 21:22:20] Jaguar-Noir: We are unione Corse. We are an organization not bound by bonds to anyoen but ourselves
[15.04.2021 21:22:25] Order|Maia: I've never felt actually welcome there, so I don't know much about your House.
[15.04.2021 21:22:45] Jaguar-Noir: We hail from Gallia, and try to keep neutral face to most
[15.04.2021 21:22:51] Jaguar-Noir: all besides the mutant outcasts that is
[15.04.2021 21:23:04] Jaguar-Noir: So our individuals can choose worthy causes to fight for by accepting contracts
[15.04.2021 21:23:07] Order|Maia: Yeah, that's mutual. They worship those aliens.
[15.04.2021 21:23:08] Jaguar-Noir: based on their own merits
[15.04.2021 21:23:27] Jaguar-Noir: Why would you be against The Outcasts?
[15.04.2021 21:23:35] Jaguar-Noir: They are poisoning gallia with their drug
[15.04.2021 21:23:48] Jaguar-Noir: how would they be related to you monsieur?
[15.04.2021 21:23:55] Order|Maia: We don't like cardamine too, it changes people.
[15.04.2021 21:23:59] Jaguar-Noir: Oui
[15.04.2021 21:24:14] Order|Maia: And as I said, Outcasts worship nomads.
[15.04.2021 21:24:19] Jaguar-Noir: They do?
[15.04.2021 21:24:23] Jaguar-Noir: The same aliens!
[15.04.2021 21:24:32] Jaguar-Noir: Well then - our paths seem to align reasonably!
[15.04.2021 21:24:47] Order|Maia: It looks like that.
[15.04.2021 21:25:03] Jaguar-Noir: Merci for your information, I shall re-contact your Order - it would be marvellous if you could mention us Corsicans.
[15.04.2021 21:25:23] Order|Maia: I'll mention your organization in my report.
[15.04.2021 21:25:27] Jaguar-Noir: Like I said, we are ready to sign up to fight for worthy causes, for some expenses payment *laughs*
[15.04.2021 21:25:30] Jaguar-Noir: good luck to you
[15.04.2021 21:25:37] Order|Maia: Fly safe.
[15.04.2021 21:25:37] Jaguar-Noir: may the puppets of the Sirian houses not get you
[15.04.2021 21:25:49] Order|Maia: Don't worry, this thing is fast.
[15.04.2021 21:25:56] Jaguar-Noir: Safe skies
[15.04.2021 21:26:05] Order|Maia: To you as well!
FROM: Lucien Sarti TO:The Order Subject: Anyone alive? Bonjour
You have me quite worried - has your organization been defeated by the Aliens? Are you in hiding?
We have some strange presence spreading throughout the systems we operate in - our snubcraft being observed and assaulted by strange "Scorpion" class gunboats that are being greeted by Zoners while trying to murder us for some reason.
Code:
[] [TAZ]The.Churn: Kallisti AoI sailors.
[] [TAZ]The.Churn: Welcome to Baffin
They keep calling us Corsicans darklings and want to "devour us" for our "sins"
Code:
[] Reiki|Aoi: "Engaging darkling vessel."
[] Reiki|Aoi: "Devouring darklings."
[] Jestak|Aoi: Krumai: Directives set. May Disani shine upon you!
[] Jestak|Aoi: Krumai: You will be purged for your sins!
I would appreciate if you can confirm that you still exist and can confirm if you want my services - there are more Corsicans where I come from, and they too could fight your war as a proxy in far away areas - if you haven't already been defeated that is.
My apologies for the late response. We are men and women of action and as such we prioritize presence on the battlefield at the cost of bureaucracy. You are correct in assumptions that Outcasts are our enemies. While it is not widely known we had attempted to reform and at least in some small degree redeem Maltese society through diplomacy and soft power. Our efforts were repaid in betrayal and even now many Nomad worshippers continue to skulk around Malta.
We will hire you under one condition. So long Unione Corse extends its docking rights and hospitality to The Order operatives in Gallia, then so long we can work together. I am not particularly aware what kind of position you hold within the organization, but the offer may as well be extended to the rest of your kind should they opt in.
The Temporary Autonomous Zoners are… weird bunch, following some antiquated religion from Old Earth. I do not trust religious fanatics by default but I already knew that they are a wild card dedicated solely to chaos. Keep that in mind in the future.
