[30.07.2022 23:10:21] A72|Veles: ?: A bounty hunter. You are far from your bases
[30.07.2022 23:10:47] ANGEL-09: Who told you I was a real bounty hunter?
[30.07.2022 23:11:12] A72|Veles: ?: Your ship, your equipment, your signature. A valid assumption
[30.07.2022 23:11:33] ANGEL-09: Then you never really think for another possibility.
[30.07.2022 23:11:56] A72|Veles: ?: or it might be a deception. That is the first guess in our line of work
[30.07.2022 23:12:22] ANGEL-09: How about you show yourself? Unless you are afraid of me?
[30.07.2022 23:12:46] A72|Veles: ?: stealth is another important thing in the line of our work
[30.07.2022 23:13:07] A72|Veles: ?: if you know about one neighbouring system, you understand
[30.07.2022 23:13:08] ANGEL-09: Here you will find nothing than wrecks and a group of Royalist.
[30.07.2022 23:13:52] A72|Veles: ?: and here you are mistaken
[30.07.2022 23:14:21] A72|Veles: ?: this system is of no particular interest, that is true. But there is a connected system that is of much more interest
[30.07.2022 23:14:38] A72|Veles: ?: but you answered what we were looking for. Apparently, you don't know what and where it is
[30.07.2022 23:15:03] A72|Veles: ?: your anwers are satisfying. We can let you be
[30.07.2022 23:15:12] ANGEL-09: Pfff.
[30.07.2022 23:15:38] ANGEL-09: You didn't show up. Pathetic.
[30.07.2022 23:16:25] A72|Veles: ?: now stealth is of less importance, mercenary
[30.07.2022 23:16:39] ANGEL-09: Like if it was important from the begining.
[30.07.2022 23:16:44] A72|Veles: ?: be careful in this system. The locals might know of what I referred to
[30.07.2022 23:16:49] A72|Veles: ?: it is.
[30.07.2022 23:16:57] ANGEL-09: It wasn't.
[30.07.2022 23:17:58] A72|Veles: ?: whatever you say.
[30.07.2022 23:18:24] A72|Veles: ?: take caution when with the locals. They might be more than what they appear to be
[30.07.2022 23:18:37] A72|Veles: ?: so a little discretion might be useful
[30.07.2022 23:18:41] ANGEL-09: I patrol this system daily and there is nothing.
[30.07.2022 23:18:54] A72|Veles: ?: then you do not keep your eyes peeled enough
[30.07.2022 23:19:16] ANGEL-09: My eyes are significantly good.
[30.07.2022 23:21:14] A72|Veles: ?: yet you do not know. Perhaps it is for the better
[30.07.2022 23:21:50] A72|Veles: ?: so in your patrols you have not spotted anything, mercenary?
[30.07.2022 23:22:15] ANGEL-09: Royalist and you.
[30.07.2022 23:23:09] A72|Veles: ?: then you are missing even the base I spotted you near and this large Maquis battleship
[30.07.2022 23:23:21] A72|Veles: ?: not so much for good eyes
[30.07.2022 23:23:42] ANGEL-09: I already saw them. But I meant ships.
[30.07.2022 23:23:50] ANGEL-09: Like fighters.
[30.07.2022 23:24:16] ANGEL-09: So don't jump on conclusions so fast.
[30.07.2022 23:24:50] A72|Veles: ?: then you should specify what you classify as "seen". The maquis also frequent the system
[30.07.2022 23:25:19] ANGEL-09: Then it must be rare.
[30.07.2022 23:25:29] A72|Veles: ?: and the bunch of people living off that base you were near are also of interest.
[30.07.2022 23:25:41] A72|Veles: ?: like, losing relatives to the aliens
[30.07.2022 23:25:54] A72|Veles: ?: maybe, a coincidence. Maybe not
[30.07.2022 23:26:16] A72|Veles: ?: but they surely know of species alpha-two more than one might expect
[30.07.2022 23:26:38] A72|Veles: ?: something typical for the edge-worlders of the Omicrons but not for the denizens of the Taus
[30.07.2022 23:27:26] ANGEL-09: Hmpf.
[30.07.2022 23:28:08] Death: Legendary_Hero_Tamigin was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[30.07.2022 23:28:15] A72|Veles: ?: that's what I also wonder, if you are playing a game of not knowing or if you really don't know
[30.07.2022 23:28:48] ANGEL-09: Do you really think I am playing a game? This is ridiculous.
[30.07.2022 23:29:07] ANGEL-09: I guess humans are good to think strange ideas.
[30.07.2022 23:29:58] A72|Veles: ?: you never know. When dealing with the alpha-two one has to be always careful
[30.07.2022 23:30:52] ANGEL-09: Make it clear will you? What is that 'Alpha-two?
[30.07.2022 23:32:43] A72|Veles: ?: species alpha-two are also known as the nomads
[30.07.2022 23:33:09] A72|Veles: ?: invasive hostile alien race that shows signs of a gestalt consience
[30.07.2022 23:33:22] Tip: The world of Freelancer is full of ambiguity just like real life is. Not all characters showing up as hostile are your enemies. Likewise - not all characters showing up as neutral are your friends.
[30.07.2022 23:33:27] A72|Veles: //conscience*
[30.07.2022 23:33:53] ANGEL-09: The last one I saw was in Omicron Delta and a hunter killed it. And here, I saw nothing such.
[30.07.2022 23:35:32] A72|Veles: ?: there is a system nearby that is inhabited by the alpha-two
[30.07.2022 23:35:57] A72|Veles: ?: their presence in the Taus is most disturbing. This is partially the reason for us being here and for our cautiousness
[30.07.2022 23:36:45] ANGEL-09: Why something coming from Taus would interest the Coalition? Your kind mostly stays within the Omegas.
[30.07.2022 23:38:39] A72|Veles: ?: Coalition's interest know no borders
[30.07.2022 23:38:53] A72|Veles: ?: and nomads are a transborder concern
[30.07.2022 23:39:08] A72|Veles: ?: besides, we do not represent the official Coalition
[30.07.2022 23:39:47] ANGEL-09: Maybe but you are still from them. You have the same roots.
[30.07.2022 23:40:23] ANGEL-09: Anyway, I will let you and your 'project'.

Nines, nice to hear from you.
Yeah, we've seen 'em around Roussillon before. With the cloaking device they've got and their apparently f*ckin' unlimited supply of batteries, there ain't much we can do but put up with 'em. I'm surprised you got a scan at all--'s good to have more detailed intel on 'em for the future. So, well done on that.
The fact that they're vaguely gesturing at the fact that some of us know what a f*ckin' nomad looks like is pretty underhanded though. I guess I'll spread the word that they're tryina sow dissent or something--maybe we can bring it up in the general assembly and see what people think of it.
Next time you see Veles, y'can tell 'em that if they have a problem they can say it to my face. Ain't polite to go behind someone's back. For now, keep up the good work. Let me know if anything else comes up.
