This is the bridge's rapport on the events of today.
The intelligence ship Saint Amant was deployed in the high orbit of Planet Quillan for gathering intelligence of passing ships, and enforcing the restriction on the trade lane to Tau-23. As such, multiple ships were intercepted.
Most notably, a Bretonian Armed Forces ship, "Stoic", operating under a Freelancer IFF, was seen, and docked on Planet Quillan.
After interrogation, and scan, this ship was also possessing Military Salvage.
The ship was dispatched by the batteries of the Saint Amant for breaching the laws of the Gallic Union.
Later on, a Freelancer transport was intercepted after speeding off and docking to Planet Quillan. After a lengthy discussion, we settled on them paying 50% of a fine - 75,000 credits. They were transferred to the development of the Gallic National Intelligence.
An Order ship, requesting safe passage through the restricted area to Tau-23, was accepted, as token of proof of cooperation between the Order and Gallia as a whole. A fee of 10,000 credits was billed to the ship, and was promptly paid. They were transferred to the development of the Gallic National Intelligence.
An [FLG] vessel, the [FLG]NT-Predator, was noticed, and was pursued by the Saint Amant, through Roussilllon, then to Tau-61. The GNI/-Dubois was deployed in support.
Fig. 1 - The ship being pursued by the Saint Amant.
Fig.2 - The Saint Amant and Dubois near the jump hole to Tau-61.
Aliens were quickly seen, and proceeded to engage said Maquis vessel. The Saint Amant pulled back successfully, and rejoined the Dubois. The Maquis vessel was reportedly destroyed.
The Saint Amant was then deployed to the Orkney system again, where alien activity has been reported.
Aliens, were indeed present. Stress was detected amongst the crew - psychological tests are still ongoing on the crew of the Saint Amant.
A potential, peaceful envoy and meeting, is in the works. This is an exceedingly unique occurence, and needs to be perfect, in order to enhance the understanding between humans and aliens. The bridge's rapport will leave this event to be chronicled by the other parties.
A total of 235,000 credits, in fines, and donations, were made today, and transferred for the development of the Gallic National Intelligence. (23,500,000 credits).

Bonjour Command,
The cruiser Dunois was on its designated patrol path around the Tau border until we received a request for assistance from the Saint Amant, originating from an unknown system, which we proceeded to follow. Arriving in the system, we found the Saint Amant pursuing a Maquisard ship deep into the system until the inhabitants swarmed and destroyed the ship in question. Both I and the CIC of the Saint Amant quickly left the system.
As we were returning to the Languedoc jump anomaly our sensors picked up a Gaian ship. The Dunois broke off and pursued the Gaian ship into the same system as the Maquisard was, that being Tau-61, my ship caught up to it. I will transmit the conversation.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Halt.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Stop moving right now.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Last warning,
Gaians)GSS-Nile: And what Gauls?
GNI/-Dunois: RO: So you have Xeno relics on that ship.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Where are those going?
Gaians)GSS-Nile: To Battleship Amenta.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: How did a Gaian get those?
Gaians)GSS-Nile: My contact from Order buy xeno relicts to study i nthis system. But i search in Orkney jomphole, because i don't have coordinat
Gaians)GSS-Nile: We have neutral relations with Order and sometimes trading with this organization, and you Gauls?
GNI/-Dunois: RO: So the order hired you to get those to a battleship in this system?
Gaians)GSS-Nile: Yes, is battleship in this system.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Hand over 500 units of it and you are free to move on.
Gaians)GSS-Nile: Please
Gaians)GSS-Nile: i jettison.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Well you are free to go to the order base.
Gaians)GSS-Nile: Ok, thank you.
The Dunois followed the Gaian carrying a sample of 500 units of Xeno relics in our hold. The Gaian proceeded to dock at the Order's battleship named Amenta. Shortly after the Gaian vessel moored, an Order pilot flying under the banner of Section 8 undocked. The conversation, which will be linked, featured the Order ship "Augur"|S8 recommending the destruction of the Xeno relics, quoting them as saying, "Better jettison and destroy them." However, they did confirm my suspicion that the Gaians were not working with the Order.
"Augur"|S8: Not what I expected to find out here.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Section 8 am I right?
"Augur"|S8: What gives it away?
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Did not know that the Order works with the Gaians.
"Augur"|S8: We don't. You're the one who just sent that transport our way.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: He said that you asked for those Xeno Relics.
"Augur"|S8: Who specifically asked for them?
GNI/-Dunois: He is at the order base I took 500 units off of the Gaian
GNI/-Dunois: RO: The Gaian told me that the order asked for Relics to me moved to this battleship.
"Augur"|S8: Why would we want relics delivered to what is supposed to be a covert operation in this god-forsaken hellhole?
GNI/-Dunois: RO: As I did guess he lied.
"Augur"|S8: Sounds like you just got played.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Well the Gaian told me
"Augur"|S8: But, then again, those relics are better off with us than with the Gaians.
GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: you up or down
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Well we took some of them.
GNI/-Dunois: At the order base.
"Augur"|S8: Better jettison and destroy them.
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Not for me to decide.
GNI/-Dunois: We need to go. Now.
"Augur"|S8: There's always a superior officer to answer to, am I right?
GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: CIC: RV, Orkney Jump Hole.
GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: let's go then
GNI/-Dunois: RO: Indeed we are puling out.
We pulled back out of Tau-61 again as our long-range scanner detected multiple unknown objects approaching our location. The return to Languedoc was uneventful as we accompanied the Saint Amant on its regular patrol. Relatively quickly, the Saint Amant received communication from the Marquis d'Eguilly, reporting another Maquisard ship fleeing from Tau-61 as it was, for lack of a better word, hunted by two large alien forms. The creatures quickly destroyed the ship but did not show hostility towards us as they slowly returned to their, I presume, home system.
We once again set our course toward Gallia proper, only for the Battlecruiser Sisteron to report unusual alien activity in Orkney, to which we again responded. The entity that we encountered was beyond anything I could imagine; it was made of smoke and flew between my ship and the Saint Amant. Our two ships were reinforced by a Valor-class named GNS-Grande.Harmonie. The gaseous alien was joined by two large forms that looked similar to the ones that destroyed the Maquis ship.
The aliens were not hostile, so I decided to try to communicate with them. They responded somewhat positively and were willing to engage in their equivalent of talking. The one conducting most of the conversation sounded close to human, while the other form was more aggressive. It somehow assaulted the minds of everyone on board the Dunois. It tried to compel us to open fire on the GNS-Grande Harmonie. Some of my ship's crew succumbed to the aliens' mental assault. I was forced to execute my Gunnery Officer, while the marines on my ship managed to arrest those affected by the mental attack. Luckily for us, the alien ceased its assault on us. The "diplomacy" ended with them promising us an envoy. Since then, my crew and I have undergone psychological examinations; unfortunately, twenty-four of the ship's crew are now unfit for duty.
Command, I would recommend that we reach out to both the Order and the Technocracy of Auxo about the Nomads then we pull the information together.

SENDER:SIO «Trident» RECIPIENT(S):GNI Central Reporting Center CLASSIFICATION:TIER 3 SUBJECT:«Iron Brawler»
Bonsoir, officiers,
Today's events are of interest. While heading to a meeting with a contact on Toulon, I encountered a Sirian flying with the callsign of «Iron Brawler». He flew what appeared to be a frigate, and claimed to be from Liberty, a claim corroborated by his bearing valid civilian Libertonian identification papers. However, his IFF indicated an affiliation with the Xenos — a proscribed terrorist group. Upon inquiry, the suspect identified himself solely as «William». I sent a signal to the GNS Cathubodua, a Navy gunboat, requesting for aid. In the meantime, I stalled the suspect by superficially pretending to oblige his various requests. He was particularly interested in the whereabouts of one «Vatan», allegedly a capital ship of Gallic origin captained by one «Lucas Gerald». The suspect was also carrying a large amount of surplus military-grade light arms in his vessel's hold — a proscribed commodity within Gallia when carried without a license.
Once the Cathubodua arrived, I informed «William» that he was under arrest on charges of affiliating with a proscribed terrorist group and unlicensed transportation of military armaments. Suspect complied with my demand to lower his shields in preparation for a marine team from the Cathubodua to board his vessel in order to take him into custody for interrogation. However, the suspect seemed supremely unperturbed by this course of events, and continued to interrogate me over comms regarding Capitaine Gerald, even up until the point of the boarding team breaching the Iron Brawler's bridge.
However, most unfortunately, it was at that exact moment that the capitaine of the Cathubodua received an urgent distress call from a civilian vessel claiming to be under fire from Maquis terrorists along the shipping lanes of Languedoc, and was forced to recall their boarding team in the case of their being required to assist civilians at the scene of the terrorism incident. With the suspect continuing to be fanatically fixated on interrogating me about the Vatan, and as such, uncooperative, I sent a request to Melun for backup, which shortly arrived in the form of «Owl-2» and «Chevalier de Lorraine» — an HM-series «Courbe» with a malfunctioning IFF transponder equipped with standard civilian equipment. The latter silently lent us its aid as we chased the suspect down the lanes to Planète New Paris. Unfortunately, he escaped our clutches through cleverly-timed hacking of the trade lane system. At this point, Owl-2 put in for refueling at Compiegne.
The pilot of the Chevalier then spoke their first words, inquiring whether I supported the Union or the King. Naturally, I responded that I support Gallia. At this time, a lone Royalist named «Jean Bordeaux» appeared from the Vincennes and we engaged in some rather boring and trite conversation.
Further details about this encounter will likely be present in the Marechal's report, but are here redacted for security classification reasons. A redacted audio transcription of events will be attached to this transmission.

[18.03.750 22:40:56] GNI/-'Trident': Your ship.
[18.03.750 22:41:12] GNI/-'Trident': Tell me about it.
[18.03.750 22:41:15] GNI/-'Trident': What model is that?
[18.03.750 22:41:27] Iron.Brawler: It's a Scarab
[18.03.750 22:41:41] GNI/-'Trident': What is its technical designation? Who builds it?
[18.03.750 22:42:14] Iron.Brawler: I dunno, some inter-house company
[18.03.750 22:42:21] Iron.Brawler: I think it's called Ceres
[18.03.750 22:42:22] GNI/-'Trident': Hmm, interessant.
[18.03.750 22:42:32] GNI/-'Trident': It looks to be quite a capable vessel.
[18.03.750 22:43:07] Iron.Brawler: Speaking of ships, I came around Gallia to see if I have the chance of speaking with some Gallic Navy representative
[18.03.750 22:43:27] GNI/-'Trident': I must inform you that I do not work for the Navy, but for the Gallic National Intelligence.
[18.03.750 22:43:52] Iron.Brawler: Even better
[18.03.750 22:44:14] Iron.Brawler: The GNI may have more answers
[18.03.750 22:44:39] GNI/-'Trident': What answers do you seek, monsieur?
[18.03.750 22:44:45] Iron.Brawler: Vatan
[18.03.750 22:44:50] Iron.Brawler: Does that ring a bell?
[18.03.750 22:45:00] GNI/-'Trident': Perhaps. I may need to know who is asking.
[18.03.750 22:45:35] Iron.Brawler: I have no affiliation with any group, I'm just me
[18.03.750 22:46:05] GNI/-'Trident': Do you have a name, monsieur?
[18.03.750 22:46:19] Iron.Brawler: William, and yeah I'm from Liberty
[18.03.750 22:47:05] GNI/-'Trident': William, a fine name. Do you have a surname?
[18.03.750 22:48:14] GNI/-'Trident': Bonjour, capitaine.
[18.03.750 22:48:16] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is patrol boat Cathubodua.
[18.03.750 22:48:23] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We've arrived to investigate this "occurance".
[18.03.750 22:49:07] Iron.Brawler: I likely did at some point
[18.03.750 22:49:12] GNI/-'Trident': We're merely talking... for now.
[18.03.750 22:50:19] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We've taken scans.
[18.03.750 22:50:22] Iron.Brawler: What can you tell me about it?
[18.03.750 22:50:40] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: You, monsieur.
[18.03.750 22:50:43] GNI/-'Trident': Monsieur William from Liberty, I regret to inform you that you are under arrest.
[18.03.750 22:50:52] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: First. Have cargohold full of arms, without an license..
[18.03.750 22:50:59] Iron.Brawler: What's the charge?
[18.03.750 22:51:02] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Second you have a Xeno IFF. Terrorist.
[18.03.750 22:51:12] GNI/-'Trident': Contraband and affiliation with a known terrorist group.
[18.03.750 22:51:22] Iron.Brawler: I am not affiliated with the Xenos
[18.03.750 22:51:33] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Your ID is Freelancer, but IFF Xeno.
[18.03.750 22:51:37] GNI/-'Trident': Then you should change your IFF.
[18.03.750 22:51:38] Iron.Brawler: And I had no idea I required a license to deliver light arms to Battleship Dax
[18.03.750 22:51:40] GNI/-'Trident': Your IFF is not a toy.
[18.03.750 22:51:57] Iron.Brawler: *chuckles* You're not the first one to tell me that
[18.03.750 22:52:00] GNI/-'Trident': All forms of munitions require a license to distribute or even possess in such quantities within Gallia.
[18.03.750 22:52:02] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: You indeed need license.
[18.03.750 22:52:12] Iron.Brawler: The truth is, I tried fixing it a plethora of times without success
[18.03.750 22:52:23] Iron.Brawler: It just doesn't work, it's beyond my control
[18.03.750 22:52:33] GNI/-'Trident': I believe that Sirian ship consoles possess a simple command for this -- enter "/droprep" in your terminal.
[18.03.750 22:52:36] Iron.Brawler: I'm willing to deliver this guns to Dax under your escort
[18.03.750 22:52:49] Iron.Brawler: If I do that, you won't like what you'll see either
[18.03.750 22:53:02] GNI/-'Trident': Monsieur, you have dug yourself into an even deeper hole.
[18.03.750 22:53:13] GNI/-'Trident': You are to lower your shields and prepare to be boarded.
[18.03.750 22:53:21] GNI/-'Trident': Your vessel is to be impounded and you will be taken in for an interview.
[18.03.750 22:53:22] Iron.Brawler: As I said earlier, I'm here only looking for answers, agent Trident
[18.03.750 22:53:28] Iron.Brawler: I am not hiding nor running away
[18.03.750 22:53:38] GNI/-'Trident': I'm glad you are cooperating.
[18.03.750 22:53:41] GNI/-'Trident': Now please, lower your shields.
[18.03.750 22:53:54] Iron.Brawler: Will you answer my question first?
[18.03.750 22:54:24] GNI/-'Trident': William, I don't believe you're understanding the situation.
[18.03.750 22:54:37] GNI/-'Trident': You are, as of just a moment ago, officially under arrest.
[18.03.750 22:54:42] GNI/-'Trident': It is we who will be asking the questions now.
[18.03.750 22:54:54] Iron.Brawler: I understand that, but I'm not letting you destroy my ship
[18.03.750 22:55:01] GNI/-'Trident': We have no intentions to destroy your ship.
[18.03.750 22:55:08] GNI/-'Trident': It will be impounded while you are undergoing interviews.
[18.03.750 22:55:15] Iron.Brawler: Then there's no need to lower my shields, I'll lower them when I moor
[18.03.750 22:55:26] GNI/-'Trident': No, you are to lower them now. We will board your ship and take you into custody.
[18.03.750 22:55:32] GNI/-'Trident': We will send a team to retrieve your ship.
[18.03.750 22:56:02] GNI/-'Trident': You have thirty seconds to comply. This is a lawful order, monsieur.
[18.03.750 22:56:03] Iron.Brawler: It'll be much easier if you escort me to whatever station I'm supposed to go, agent Trident
[18.03.750 22:56:18] Iron.Brawler: You do not have the required crew to perform such operation right now
[18.03.750 22:56:29] Iron.Brawler: Fine, surprise me then
[18.03.750 22:56:30] GNI/-'Trident': There are two ways this goes. The easy way -- which I have already elaborated to you; and the hard hard way -- which you can guess.
[18.03.750 22:56:37] GNI/-'Trident': Will. You. Comply?
[18.03.750 22:56:45] Iron.Brawler: Shields disabled
[18.03.750 22:57:36] GNI/-'Trident': Capitaine, will you send some of your crew aboard to apprehend him?
[18.03.750 22:58:10] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Understood, preparing our... security teams.
[18.03.750 22:58:57] Iron.Brawler: So I assume that Vatan does ring a bell?
[18.03.750 22:59:16] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is Cathubodua's security officer. We're sending the team now. Iron Brawler, we request you comply.
[18.03.750 22:59:21] GNI/-'Trident': Oui. It is a canton in the Indre department of Orleans.
[18.03.750 22:59:35] GNI/-'Trident': That is the only significance of the name.
[18.03.750 22:59:45] Iron.Brawler: That's not what I was referring to, obviously...
[18.03.750 22:59:53] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is security team alpha, we're onboard. No sign of any hostile intentions.
[18.03.750 23:00:04] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Capitaine, I request you comply with Alpha.
[18.03.750 23:00:10] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Agent, are we clear to proceed?
[18.03.750 23:00:15] GNI/-'Trident': Yes.
[18.03.750 23:00:16] Iron.Brawler: I was speaking about the Vatan, a capital ship allegedly from Gallic origin
[18.03.750 23:00:42] Iron.Brawler: Her captain is someone named Lucas Gerald
[18.03.750 23:00:48] Iron.Brawler: I need to find that man
[18.03.750 23:01:12] GNI/-'Trident': Why do you need to find capitaine Gerald?
[18.03.750 23:01:27] Iron.Brawler: I need to ask him several questions
[18.03.750 23:01:38] GNI/-'Trident': You would do well to pose them to myself instead.
[18.03.750 23:02:00] Iron.Brawler: So you're an infiltrator as well...
[18.03.750 23:02:11] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: "Trident", we're awaiting your destination.
[18.03.750 23:02:32] GNI/-'Trident': Have your team apprehend monsieur "William" and bring him into custody aboard the Cathubodua.
[18.03.750 23:02:47] Iron.Brawler: Captain of the Cathubodua
[18.03.750 23:02:49] GNI/-'Trident': Use a coaxial cable as restraint if you must.
[18.03.750 23:02:55] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: They should be by the bridge right now.
[18.03.750 23:03:08] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Monsieur, what is it?
[18.03.750 23:03:10] Iron.Brawler: Agent Trident is potentially compromised
[18.03.750 23:03:27] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Mon dieu, what are you talking about?
[18.03.750 23:03:32] GNI/-'Trident': An accusation in a mirror, no doubt.
[18.03.750 23:03:46] Iron.Brawler: They're a nomad undercover unit
[18.03.750 23:03:57] Iron.Brawler: It's what I'm saying
[18.03.750 23:04:07] GNI/-'Trident': [The agent scoffs, their voice filter rendering the sound mechanical and uncanny.]
[18.03.750 23:04:15] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is some kind of.. conspiracy.
[18.03.750 23:04:20] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, can we already go?
[18.03.750 23:04:24] Iron.Brawler: Agent Trident, I've spoken with Shozak
[18.03.750 23:04:31] GNI/-'Trident': Alpha is free to enter the bridge and detain him.
[18.03.750 23:04:38] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Copy that.
[18.03.750 23:04:47] Iron.Brawler: Shozak gave me his name
[18.03.750 23:04:55] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Alpha team, you're clear to detain the Captaine.
[18.03.750 23:04:58] GNI/-'Trident': Our teams will certainly have a lot of information to pull out of him.
[18.03.750 23:05:24] Iron.Brawler: Picking up something on scanners...
[18.03.750 23:06:00] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is Alpha, we've got the target..
[18.03.750 23:06:08] Death: fastduck was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[18.03.750 23:06:09] GNI/-'Trident': Excellent.
[18.03.750 23:06:11] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: Are we clear to proceed with fly path?
[18.03.750 23:06:18] Scarab-547: [The contact blips in and out of existence. Acquisition of it is difficult.]
[18.03.750 23:06:42] Scarab-547: [EM spectrum readings are off the charts in its vicinity.]
[18.03.750 23:08:43] Scarab-547: [It just... sits outside of active radar range.]
[18.03.750 23:09:14] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, we're reading hightened EM readings and a ship just outside our range.
[18.03.750 23:09:24] GNI/-'Trident': Confirm, I read it as well.
[18.03.750 23:09:53] GNI/-'Trident': The Corse entertain some strange clientele here. I would not be surprised if whatever sensor-jamming technology
[18.03.750 23:09:56] Iron.Brawler: [[static]] Guess who's that...
[18.03.750 23:10:04] GNI/-'Trident': the vessel is employing is but an extreme privacy measure.
[18.03.750 23:10:15] Scarab-547: [The vessel silently moves along, not showing any signs of aggression.]
[18.03.750 23:10:21] Iron.Brawler: [[static]] There was no EM a moment ago...
[18.03.750 23:10:58] Scarab-547: *STATIC* "--ur way to the race tracks...!"
[18.03.750 23:11:54] Iron.Brawler: [[a distorted voice replies]] Scarab five four seven, who are you?
[18.03.750 23:12:04] Scarab-547: [No answer.]
[18.03.750 23:12:16] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This guy is still speaking through radio comms.
[18.03.750 23:12:32] Iron.Brawler: [[it insists]] I believe William has been looking for yours...
[18.03.750 23:13:35] Iron.Brawler: [[He's been rather desperate for the last months...]]
[18.03.750 23:13:48] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, we've got call this off. We've got a report about Maquis attacking shipping lane and we're required there.
[18.03.750 23:13:51] Iron.Brawler: [[Yours surely are not putting it any easy.]]
[18.03.750 23:13:54] Scarab-547: [The ship proceeds on its merry way.]
[18.03.750 23:13:56] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We need to get our security teams out.
[18.03.750 23:13:59] GNI/-'Trident': Very well. Tell Alpha to withdraw.
[18.03.750 23:14:06] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Alpha, team withdraw!
[18.03.750 23:14:06] GNI/-'Trident': L'Agencie will handle this.
[18.03.750 23:14:23] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: We're coming back onboard.
[18.03.750 23:14:43] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is Alpha, back on board.
[18.03.750 23:14:48] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Anything else you require, Agent?>
[18.03.750 23:15:02] GNI/-'Trident': Non, thank you for your assistance.
[18.03.750 23:15:12] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Good luck.
[18.03.750 23:15:55] GNI/-'Trident': Mr. William, I am willing to overlook the charge of affiliating with a terrorist organization if you drop your cargo.
[18.03.750 23:16:33] Iron.Brawler: [[William will be absent for a while, you'll have to talk with me now.]]
[18.03.750 23:16:40] GNI/-'Trident': And whom am I speaking with?
[18.03.750 23:17:24] Iron.Brawler: [[You're speaking with Iron Brawler.]]
[18.03.750 23:17:55] Iron.Brawler: [[And I do not think I can comply with that request. Not since you seem unwilling to cooperate as well.]]
[18.03.750 23:18:08] GNI/-'Trident': Interesting indeed.
[18.03.750 23:19:01] GNI/-'Trident': As you are already under arrest...
[18.03.750 23:19:06] Iron.Brawler: [[I'm certain you can recall what he asked earlier.]]
[18.03.750 23:19:27] Iron.Brawler: [[Interesting concept, can you even arrest a machine?]]
[18.03.750 23:19:44] GNI/-'Trident': Quite a philosophical question.
[18.03.750 23:19:48] GNI/-'Trident': I know that I can destroy one, however.
[18.03.750 23:20:04] Iron.Brawler: [[I'd say it's more of a legalese inquiry.]]
[18.03.750 23:20:25] Iron.Brawler: [[William is still onboard.]]
[18.03.750 23:20:29] GNI/-'Trident': Legalese? Here, in Provence?
[18.03.750 23:20:32] GNI/-'Trident': [Another uncanny scoff.]
[18.03.750 23:20:52] Iron.Brawler: [[Do you represent the Corsican interests?]]
[18.03.750 23:20:57] GNI/-'Trident': I represent Gallia's interests.
[18.03.750 23:21:17] Iron.Brawler: [[Therefore, you're enforcing Gallic law.]]
[18.03.750 23:21:25] GNI/-'Trident': Permitting figures such as yourself to reside within L'Unione is, as you Libertonians say, "not it".
[18.03.750 23:21:48] GNI/-'Trident': Your lack of cooperation has left me with no choice.
[18.03.750 23:22:12] Iron.Brawler: [[And you seem not much concerned about alien life-forms going through Provence.]]
[18.03.750 23:22:41] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: [The ship closes in, quietly. Without any sign of communication.]
[18.03.750 23:23:14] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: [The target lock was engaged upon the Iron Brawler. The systems powering up. It was closing in.]
[18.03.750 23:24:31] GNI/-Owl-2: You're not getting out.
[18.03.750 23:24:39] GNI/-Owl-2: Engaging target.
[18.03.750 23:24:40] GNI/-'Trident': Owl 2, excellent timing.
[18.03.750 23:25:24] GNI/-Owl-2: Chase it!
[18.03.750 23:26:13] GNI/-Owl-2: You're just going to die; accept a quicker death
[18.03.750 23:26:56] Iron.Brawler: *a system wide broadcast of classic heavy metal can be heard*
[18.03.750 23:27:10] GNI/-'Trident': Merde...
[18.03.750 23:27:16] GNI/-'Trident': Chevalier, who are you?
[18.03.750 23:27:35] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A friend."
[18.03.750 23:27:39] GNI/-'Trident': I can see that.
[18.03.750 23:27:42] GNI/-'Trident': Your assistance is appreciated.
[18.03.750 23:29:43] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Remember Lorraine. Remember what we lost. Never forget."
[18.03.750 23:29:53] GNI/-'Trident': I could not agree more.
[18.03.750 23:29:58] GNI/-'Trident': We have lost much, but never again.
[18.03.750 23:31:06] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "L'Union ou les Roi?"
[18.03.750 23:32:00] GNI/-'Trident': Gallia. Dans tous les cas.
[18.03.750 23:32:51] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: Vive la Gallia.
[18.03.750 23:33:08] GNI/-'Trident': Vive le Gallia, camarade.
[18.03.750 23:33:34] Jean,Bordeaux: Viva la Gallia
[18.03.750 23:34:07] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Bonjour, Roi."
[18.03.750 23:34:13] GNI/-'Trident': What incredibly auspicious timing.
[18.03.750 23:35:21] GNI/-'Trident': Bordeaux, what is your rank?
[18.03.750 23:35:36] Jean,Bordeaux: What does it matter, now?
[18.03.750 23:35:46] GNI/-'Trident': Call it a passing curiosity.
[18.03.750 23:36:10] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A lill' bit dangerous, no? Flashing le flag de roi."
[18.03.750 23:36:36] Jean,Bordeaux: Enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:37:09] GNI/-'Trident': Une fanatique veritable.
[18.03.750 23:37:34] GNI/-'Trident': To have rejected the amnesty as a mere enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:38:58] Jean,Bordeaux: Rank does not change good will to ill for the people of Royal Gallia
[18.03.750 23:39:28] Jean,Bordeaux: I could not give up our nacion for petty rewards
[18.03.750 23:39:34] GNI/-'Trident': What is it you want, enseigne Bordeaux?
[18.03.750 23:39:42] GNI/-'Trident': Are you here spoiling for a fight?
[18.03.750 23:39:51] Jean,Bordeaux: You tell me
[18.03.750 23:40:32] GNI/-'Trident': Feeling jocular today, are we.
[18.03.750 23:40:44] GNI/-'Trident': Fortunately or unfortunately for you, I have a report to write.
[18.03.750 23:40:58] Jean,Bordeaux: If I was looking for... this so plain I would have lingered where I was before....
[18.03.750 23:41:15] GNI/-'Trident': You seek to make my report longer, then.
[18.03.750 23:41:50] Jean,Bordeaux: No.. if you have any rampant treasonous tendencies towards our King, work them out now!
[18.03.750 23:42:09] Jean,Bordeaux: And we will duel to the finest man.
[18.03.750 23:42:18] Scarab-547: "I've forgotten.
[18.03.750 23:42:22] Jean,Bordeaux: But if you do not!
[18.03.750 23:42:27] Jean,Bordeaux: Then remain.
[18.03.750 23:43:07] GNI/-'Trident': I notice you provide no course of action which involves me immediately leaving and compiling my report.
[18.03.750 23:45:04] Jean,Bordeaux: Touche.
[18.03.750 23:45:08] GNI/-'Trident': Regardless of political convictions, I believe enough good Gauls have died at each others' hands.
[18.03.750 23:45:39] Scarab-547: "A reasonable and moral assertion, Agent." [The voice is distorted and garbled.]
[18.03.750 23:46:08] GNI/-'Trident': [The agent's voice, too, is passed through a filter, and any distinguishing characteristics are hard to pick out.]
[18.03.750 23:47:09] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Oui Oui. 'owever, t'ere are still alot w'o t'ink ot'erwise."
[18.03.750 23:47:36] Jean,Bordeaux: My.. the Union is poorer than I thought. Can not even install proper communication sets in their agents ships
[18.03.750 23:47:44] GNI/-'Trident': It is intentional, enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:47:57] Jean,Bordeaux: Mmm. Unsure
[18.03.750 23:48:05] GNI/-'Trident': It is an attempt to ensure anonymity on my part.
[18.03.750 23:49:10] Jean,Bordeaux: Name, Agent?
[18.03.750 23:49:24] GNI/-'Trident': That would defeat the purpose of anonymity-preserving measures.
[18.03.750 23:49:37] Jean,Bordeaux: It would also be slightly amusing
[18.03.750 23:49:48] GNI/-'Trident': "Agent", "Trident", or "Agent Trident" are all acceptable.
[18.03.750 23:50:16] Jean,Bordeaux: Monsieur?
[18.03.750 23:50:34] GNI/-'Trident': If it pleases you.
[18.03.750 23:50:56] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "The Roi and the Agent seem to become friends here. Hah."
[18.03.750 23:51:01] Scarab-547: "Agent Trident."
[18.03.750 23:51:07] GNI/-'Trident': Yes?
[18.03.750 23:51:08] Scarab-547: "Enchantee."
[18.03.750 23:51:56] Scarab-547: "Now, I do have a message to pass on."
[18.03.750 23:52:05] Scarab-547: "If you will allow me the privilege of your private comms."
[18.03.750 23:52:19] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "And here I thought there was something interesting." [18.03.750 23:52:21] GNI/-'Trident': [SECURE COMM-LINK ESTABLISHED]
[18.03.750 23:52:35] Scarab-547: [CONFIRMED.] "Testing. Testing."
[18.03.750 23:52:59] GNI/-'Trident': Solid copy.
[18.03.750 23:53:06] GNI/-'Trident': What do you need?
[18.03.750 23:53:55] Scarab-547: "Your Marechal is expecting a dignitary. I am that dignitary." [18.03.750 23:53:57] Jean,Bordeaux: It is private enough here.
[18.03.750 23:54:06] Jean,Bordeaux: We won't tell anyone
[18.03.750 23:54:08] Scarab-547: "Is it, mon ami?"
[18.03.750 23:54:16] Scarab-547: "I do not kiss and tell, you know."
[18.03.750 23:54:27] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "I do." [18.03.750 23:54:53] GNI/-'Trident': Right. The Marechal has been informed.
[18.03.750 23:54:59] Scarab-547: "D'accord."
[18.03.750 23:55:03] GNI/-'Trident': Please stand by. [18.03.750 23:55:21] GNI/-'Trident': The Bretonians have a saying. One quite traditional to their culture as I understand it.
[18.03.750 23:55:25] GNI/-'Trident': "Loose lips sink ships."
[18.03.750 23:55:46] Jean,Bordeaux: Ugh. Don't mention them again.
[18.03.750 23:56:32] GNI/-'Trident': Surely as a soldier-- ah, perhaps not.
[18.03.750 23:56:40] Jean,Bordeaux: Chevalier. Scarab
[18.03.750 23:57:09] Jean,Bordeaux: You have spoken quite little. What exactly are your affiliations?
[18.03.750 23:57:24] Scarab-547: "A simple civilian, my friend."
[18.03.750 23:57:38] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A warrior for what is right."
[18.03.750 23:57:43] Scarab-547: "I am a, how you say... Freelancer."
[18.03.750 23:58:37] Jean,Bordeaux: A Royalist, then, Monsieur?
[18.03.750 23:58:54] Scarab-547: "I... suppose? Things were decent under the Crown."
[18.03.750 23:59:26] Jean,Bordeaux: Chevalier.
[18.03.750 23:59:40] Scarab-547: "I will guess Chevalier is one, judging by the name."
[19.03.750 00:00:49] Jean,Bordeaux: Mmm.
[19.03.750 00:00:50] GNI/-'Trident': Ah, Saint Amant.

SENDER:Eloise Aadeleine de Lefevre RECIPIENT(S): GNI Central Reporting Center CLASSIFICATION:TIER 2 SUBJECT:Outcast Battlegroup in Languedoc [/font]
Bonjour Command,
I am forwarding a report made by the captain of the GNI/-Dunois about the recent incursion of an Outcast force into Languedoc.
Bonjour Agent Lafevre,
The cruiser Dunois was in Burgundy finalising the latest crew transfer and was to travel towards Picardy. As the ship unmoored, I received an emergency transmission from the Languedoc garrison informing us about an Outcast force that has arrived in the system. Having arrived before our forces had completed their mustering, we flew in to support the heavy assets deployed by the Navy, comprised of Valor and Redemption-class vessels
battleships, along with two Obstinate-class battlecruisers and multiple Triumph-class destroyers.
The Outcasts had fewer heavy assets deployed, but their destroyers outnumbered ours, forcing us into a more supporting role. As the battle commenced, the Gallic battleships pushed toward the enemy's own. The Outcasts tried to use their lighter capital ships to harass and pull our ships out of formation, managing to damage some of our vessels.
I would also like to report a lack of our support fighter craft, which the Outcasts exploited thoroughly. As we continued engaging them, the Gallic battleships proved their superiority over the Maltese, quickly turning the engagement into a cleanup operation of the now fleeing remnants. The Dunois assisted with the operation, managing to critically damage several vessels , with the assistance of the other allied ships present.
After the battle, we encountered a freelancer piloting a Rhineland black market ship, with proprietary EFL technology in its cargo, flying towards planet Quillon. After its refusal to halt, we opened fire and neutralized the ship, and the cargo was collected. The Dunois then proceeded to head to Nimes to moor and inspect for any battle damage.
Signing off,
Captain Cyrille Vauban
As can be seen in this report, the Maltese mutants have grown bold, and with Burgundy being directly connected to their home system, we might see an increase in those addicted to their product soon. I would suggest working with the Unione Corse and helping them exercise their specific availability to dismantle any attempt by the Outcasts to establish a distribution network.
Agent Bernard Couton reporting abord the Sexarboricus for my first sortie.
Mission parameters were as follows :
- Retrieved a shipment of Saké(1) for study at our labs in Blois, Orléanais. Point of distribution identified was Port-Franc 6 in Gers. No resistance encountered, no questions asked.
- Upon delivery of the Saké to Blois, picked up a shipment of actual wine which was delivered back to Port-Franc 6 in an effort to recruit local sources and strengthen HUMINT network among the Zoneurs. This will take time but my contact seemed receptive.
- During transit, linked up with Duke V which was investigating two contacts broadcasting Molly IFF with matching identification. Proprietary trigram : RPA. First contact to my knowledge.
-> Contact established with positive results. Neutral to friendly. Open to further discussion. Parted amicably.
-> Contact claimed needing to check back with their headquarters. Suggests a degree of organisation and understanding of hierarchy. Notable, for Mollys.
Annexes :
- Encountered a seemingly automated fighter unit, callsign "4D-ExSL-AI". Harmless. Reported actively working for the Marine Gauloise. Keep in check for possible spy.
- Encountered various merchant vessels and Freelancers during transit. Interactions classified as professional and courteous. NSP.
- Promising signs of commercial activity along the AuTauroute. Recommend keeping up patrols to maintain SLOC(2) open and safe. Money to be made here, let's not waste it.
(1) Saké is what Kusarians try to pass for wine. Fermented rice. Laughable but it's an important part of their export and they might be tempted to cut in on our markets. I deem this risk to be moderate in regards to economic intelligence, seeing as it's expensive piss from firsthand experience. Waiting to hear from the sociology labs at Blois for an expert opinion.
(2) Space Line of Communication, although I shouldn't have to explain this in an official intelligence report. Read a book.
Fin du rapport. Not exactly Guerre et Paix, but you get what you pay for, boss. Where has all the budget gone?
Couton, terminé.

13th of Jun.,835 A.S.. LOCATION/TRANSMISSION ZONE:GNI/-Dunois Système Languedoc,
SENDER:Eloise Aadeleine de Lefevre RECIPIENT(S): GNI Central Reporting Center CLASSIFICATION:TIER 2 SUBJECT:Maquisard ship spoted
Bonjour Command,
During my patrol in Languedoc, I encountered a "Redemption"-class battleship, designated [FGL]VG-Mazaran, transmitting propaganda and blocking the route to the Ile-de-France jump gate. Upon confirming its position, an impromptu task force was swiftly assembled, consisting of GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly and the GN-Duc.d'Heros (a Valor-class battleship).
Before engaging, we identified the traitor known as "Admiral" Emile Dandonneau onboard the [FGL]VG-Mazaran. The combined firepower of our task force proved more than sufficient to handle the outdated and elaborate collection of spare parts utilized by the terrorists. After sustaining heavy damage, the enemy vessel retreated towards the Saint-Hippolyte Nebula. The captain of the GN-Duc.d'Heros deemed it too much risk of an ambush to pursue the "Redemption" into the nebula, resulting in the pursuit being called off.
Recommendation:
These Maquisards continue to be a nuisance and waste our resources. I recommend that we identify and eliminate the location where these relics are being serviced to neutralize the threat effectively.
Bonjour Command,
This report is about a encounter with the same alien individual mentioned in the previous one.
Upon arrival at the Brittany anomaly, accompanying the Marquis d'Eguilly, We proceed to converse with said Alien entity. The conversation shed light on both the source of their hostility and their supposedly the primary objective.
10.06.2024 01:07:24] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [There is, in fact, a small, alien craft fluttering out of active sensor range.]
[10.06.2024 01:07:28] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Suggest you get out of here before that Biologic gets curious.
[10.06.2024 01:07:32] GNI/-Solarie: Have safe travels out side of Gallia.
[10.06.2024 01:08:10] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [The signature's proximity to the Gallic vessels oscillates slightly.]
[10.06.2024 01:08:27] GNI/-Solarie: So Cheff what to do with that one.
[10.06.2024 01:09:08] GNI/-Solarie: Found them.
[10.06.2024 01:09:12] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [It does not move as the GNI vessel approaches. The tendrils flow in the stellar wind.]
[10.06.2024 01:09:17] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Yes I can tell.
[10.06.2024 01:10:10] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [There is no visible telemetry indicating energy transfer to weaponry or engines.]
[10.06.2024 01:10:34] GNI/-Solarie: So nice to see you again, would be the correct thing to say.
[10.06.2024 01:10:55] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [Exotic material and energy is passively dumped out of the rear of the craft, a cerulean mist expelled.]
[10.06.2024 01:11:34] GNI/-Solarie: Chef did she do what I think she did?
[10.06.2024 01:11:35] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{An awareness gazes upon you. The hairs on your body stand at alert.}**
[10.06.2024 01:11:48] [OOC] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Chief
[10.06.2024 01:12:20] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Not really sure, we don't know a lot about these Biologics.
[10.06.2024 01:12:22] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{A freeze passes over you. The ice in your veins creeps into your head, as if searching for something in your--

[10.06.2024 01:13:46] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [There is no shift in the Nomad's activity or energy signatures. It is a placid lake.]
[10.06.2024 01:13:58] GNI/-Solarie: **{Unlike the last time she met the creatures of the voidmind calmness prevails over the mind of Eloise.}**
[10.06.2024 01:14:49] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{The voice of a young woman, whispers in the ears of those present.}** "Thou knowest Our Song well."
[10.06.2024 01:14:53] GNI/-Solarie: I remember you. From the last time.
[10.06.2024 01:15:03] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We're going to run scans and gather data here, Solarie. You see about initiating contact....
[10.06.2024 01:15:15] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Never mind it's doing that for us.
[10.06.2024 01:15:20] GNI/-Solarie: You were the calmer one during those talks.
[10.06.2024 01:15:45] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [As usual, scans are a troublesome matter. The telemetry and geometry of the craft defy human convention.]
[10.06.2024 01:16:50] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We're having trouble reading this thing directly, we'll switch to a passive scanning routine.
[10.06.2024 01:16:54] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Sentries on the wall. Seekers of the unseen. Conspirators for their cause."
[10.06.2024 01:17:00] GNI/-Solarie: I would like to ask how was your day.
[10.06.2024 01:17:59] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **(Amusement.)** "Fear, veiled. Pretention, formality, the refuge."
[10.06.2024 01:18:34] GNI/-Solarie: It would be rude to yell like most tend to.
[10.06.2024 01:18:58] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{Shivers run down backs.}** "What end dost thou seek that is not sought through spitfire?"
[10.06.2024 01:21:45] GNI/-Solarie: Well to start we would like to know more about you and the kind.
[10.06.2024 01:22:34] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Knowledge is a means, not an end."
[10.06.2024 01:25:07] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Answer of thy end."
[10.06.2024 01:26:17] GNI/-Solarie: Our end is still unknow. We would like to avoid the spitfire as you called it.
[10.06.2024 01:26:52] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "If thou art like the rest of thy kind, little pair-of-eyes, then thou art concerned with domination."
[10.06.2024 01:27:30] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We seek understanding to avoid spitfire.
[10.06.2024 01:28:18] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "How can the Light know thy threat to be nullified?"
[10.06.2024 01:28:54] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Your kind has given the spitfire to our own before.
[10.06.2024 01:29:05] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We seek to ensurre this does not happen again.
[10.06.2024 01:29:21] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "We defend Our home. We seek what is Ours by right. Stolen."
[10.06.2024 01:30:12] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: That is an understandable goal. We do not seek to take from your home.
[10.06.2024 01:30:20] GNI/-Solarie: Hence we want to keep people out of your home even.
[10.06.2024 01:30:26] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Quite so.
[10.06.2024 01:31:32] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Thou art in posession of what is taken."
[10.06.2024 01:32:44] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: You speak of the technology that allows us to travel through interstitial space?
[10.06.2024 01:33:28] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{The spaces between space. Tunnels. The superluminal and superliminal.}**
[10.06.2024 01:33:53] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Oui, what the Sirians call Jump Gates.
[10.06.2024 01:34:46] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{The arteries of commercial lifeblood, darting across starseas. And the grand engine that goes where this cannot.}**
[10.06.2024 01:35:39] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Our people survived for centuries without said technology.
[10.06.2024 01:35:50] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{Even the humble drive upon each and every craft.}**
[10.06.2024 01:37:42] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: When we discovered the technology left behind to us, we adapted it to our needs, we did not know that it was not a gift.
[10.06.2024 01:37:47] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{The portals surpassing atmosphere. So much left for another. Stealing gifts from under the tree.}**
[10.06.2024 01:38:00] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{Noel negated.}**
[10.06.2024 01:38:14] GNI/-Solarie: Cheif do we need to say sorry?
[10.06.2024 01:38:26] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{A parent in absentia, raising its child.}**
[10.06.2024 01:38:28] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: No we're fine.
[10.06.2024 01:39:18] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: With how buried the gifts were, we did not think anyone still laid claim to them.
[10.06.2024 01:40:25] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "A conceit of thy kind. To believe the universe belongs to thee and thee alone, should none rise to protest."
[10.06.2024 01:40:44] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Yet We lay in slumber. Waiting. Hoping. Dreaming."
[10.06.2024 01:40:57] GNI/-Solarie: To be honest most of humans could not imagine your kind existing.
[10.06.2024 01:41:16] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Yes, to say the discovery of your kind was quite shhocking to us.
[10.06.2024 01:41:28] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Would be a massive understatement.
[10.06.2024 01:42:04] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Was it so unbelievable, to see empty homes and presume others would not come looking?"
[10.06.2024 01:42:25] GNI/-Solarie: Where you see a home most would see a ruin.
[10.06.2024 01:42:45] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We only found relics, scattered by the sands of timee themselves.
[10.06.2024 01:43:28] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "A limitation of thy existence. To perceive the flow in but one direction, one place at a time. Space, limited to thirds."
[10.06.2024 01:44:16] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We can only perceive what has happened before, we cannot live it.
[10.06.2024 01:44:41] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Nor dost thou perceive a path beyond this one."
[10.06.2024 01:44:52] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "A missing link in thy pilfering of Our birthright."
[10.06.2024 01:45:23] GNI/-Solarie: That would be ture we are unable to see and feel as your kind does. Could you imagine seeing as we do?
[10.06.2024 01:45:39] [OOC] GNI/-Solarie: true*
[10.06.2024 01:45:46] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Through the senses of enlightened vessels, We see and know much of thee and thine."
[10.06.2024 01:46:53] GNI/-Solarie: Then you would know that we did that without malice towards your kind.
[10.06.2024 01:47:05] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We can see many paths at once, though none of them clearly, so we must work to enlighhten ourselves.
[10.06.2024 01:47:28] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "And yet, We were cast into the voids when We attempted to reclaim what was Ours. Seated next to oblivion."
[10.06.2024 01:47:40] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "It is not thy intent We fear. But thy nature."
[10.06.2024 01:47:48] GNI/-Solarie: Not by us tho.
[10.06.2024 01:48:38] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "And yet, thou art the same creature. Ever-consuming, ever-expanding. Never satisfied with the distant horizon."
[10.06.2024 01:48:42] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: This is a reasonable fear, we know what our kind do.
[10.06.2024 01:49:25] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "An entropy consuming the ocean. Soon, the water will be drank in full by thy thirst."
[10.06.2024 01:50:16] GNI/-Solarie: We were not there to wake your kind. Would you say that we are the same as the rest?
[10.06.2024 01:50:26] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Salut.
[10.06.2024 01:51:20] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Thy voracious nature consumed others of thy kind for cycles. In one sense, there is only one sure safeguard."
[10.06.2024 01:51:30] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Knowing that another is the object of thy appetite."
[10.06.2024 01:52:27] GNI/-Solarie: Is your kind without such emotions?
[10.06.2024 01:52:31] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Well, you and your kind are not to our appetite.
[10.06.2024 01:53:00] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "We are familiar with such sensations. We have Our drives, instincts, emotions. And yet, We are not as one with thine."
[10.06.2024 01:53:23] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Our aims lay with ascension."
[10.06.2024 01:54:29] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Then we do not seek to interfere with your kind. Your ascenion is entirely of your own perogative.
[10.06.2024 01:55:05] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "There exist those who lay upon the tools We require for such ends."
[10.06.2024 01:55:12] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Hoarding them. Guarding them."
[10.06.2024 01:55:22] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Do you know what these ones are called?
[10.06.2024 01:56:28] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{The seat of power itself. The nexus of Sirius. The crossroads of mankind.}**
[10.06.2024 01:56:42] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: Ah, the Libertonians.
[10.06.2024 01:56:55] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "In thy kind's hands, these gifts are not realized to their fullest potential."
[10.06.2024 01:57:07] GNI/-Solarie: New Paris? Wait Liberty I see.
[10.06.2024 01:57:10] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "In Ours, We would see them raised to their rightful place."
[10.06.2024 01:58:19] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: And how would one raise these gifts?
[10.06.2024 01:58:58] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{A baffling question. How does one explain to an ant the intricacies of political ideology or particle physics?}**
[10.06.2024 01:59:00] GNI/-Solarie: I would like to add that we are not those stoping you.
[10.06.2024 01:59:52] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: The ant does not know it is the ant until it meets the boot.
[10.06.2024 02:00:01] GNI/-Solarie: Not to be rude but we are at least hornets...Ants are not that dangerous.
[10.06.2024 02:00:54] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "**(Amusement.)** "Hornets would struggle as much."
[10.06.2024 02:02:03] GNI/-Solarie: Did you see those hornets at Blois?
[10.06.2024 02:02:11] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Thy kind hath yet to be ready to learn. But thou can be made ready to."
[10.06.2024 02:02:22] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: But can a large enouggh group of hornets not bring down the frog that would eat them?
[10.06.2024 02:02:33] GNI/-Solarie: Made you say?
[10.06.2024 02:02:51] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "And yet, would they ever understand the frog's nature in this destruction?"
[10.06.2024 02:03:06] GNI/-Solarie: How would one be made to learn?
[10.06.2024 02:03:25] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Already there exist those among thy masses able to perceive."
[10.06.2024 02:03:44] GNI/-Solarie: The loss of the frog would be tragic.
[10.06.2024 02:03:47] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "They have always existed. And they grow in this garden. This nursery."
[10.06.2024 02:04:54] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: This nursery you speak of, it is in the system beyond what our kind calls Brittany?
[10.06.2024 02:05:23] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "All the seas thou knowest are the nursery."
[10.06.2024 02:05:28] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "All of this. Left to Us."
[10.06.2024 02:06:28] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: But would your kind need to have dominion over all of said seas to ascend, or could they be left to our kind?
[10.06.2024 02:07:12] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "An unknown. We do not know what awaits upon the path laid out for Us. Only that We must walk it. Yet if it may be done--
[10.06.2024 02:07:32] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: --without the toil of conquest and destruction, We would swim in the calmest seas."
[10.06.2024 02:08:26] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We would like to swim those seas with your kind as well. We do not believe that the object of your desire is in what we call-
[10.06.2024 02:08:38] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: -our home, so we would not wish to impede your journey.
[10.06.2024 02:10:13] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Then for this moment, spitfire can be avoided. Yet all who intrude upon Our sanctum will not be so fortunate."
[10.06.2024 02:11:27] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We do not wish to enter said sanctum, and we in fact work to keep outsidrs away from it.
[10.06.2024 02:11:50] GNI/-Solarie: We have done our best to block those fools out of your sanctum
[10.06.2024 02:12:05] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: NOt our best, but we have done what we can.
[10.06.2024 02:12:25] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "We have seen these efforts stymied by those among thy arms."
[10.06.2024 02:12:29] GNI/-Solarie: Sorry I speak mostly for myslef.
[10.06.2024 02:12:51] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: **{Dilligent officeurs and soldiers of Gallia. The Navy stands against all threats, real and imaginary.}**
[10.06.2024 02:14:18] GNI/-Solarie: Did someone actually say that?
[10.06.2024 02:14:23] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: I'm surprised that the Navy can find the wherewithal to geet into their ships, let alone act against those seeking your sanctum
[10.06.2024 02:14:43] GNI/-Solarie: We wish you well.
[10.06.2024 02:14:59] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "They breach Our sanctum."
[10.06.2024 02:15:13] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: If we could control them, we would.
[10.06.2024 02:15:42] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: "Know, then, that the undulating waves of the bulwark threaten. Do as thou wilt with this."
[10.06.2024 02:15:57] GNI/-Marquis.d'Eguilly: We will do what we can with this information.
[10.06.2024 02:17:34] GNI/-Solarie: It was nice talking to you...
[10.06.2024 02:17:48] Vagrant.Eye.of.Psyche: [The Nomad shimmers as it departs in a plume of exotic smoke.]
The alien entity revealed that their hostilities towards Sirians were acts of defense, driven by a desire to reclaim what they consider their birthright, which they believe was taken by Sirians. Their goal is to reach deep inside the space of house Liberty, likely targeting Ageira's secrets that allowed them to construct jump gates.
On the a more positive note we seemingly negotiated a non-aggression agreement, contingent on our forces not breaching the "sanctuary" located beyond the anomaly in the Brittany system.
Recommendation:
I would recommend the continuation of the cautious pursuit of neutrality with the Aliens while simultaneously working on better understanding them to counter any possible infiltrations. It would be prudent to bolster our security forces attached to any active excavation and possibly even limit the allowed interaction between those involved with the outside world until we have a better picture of what is the effect on the human mind of being exposed to the psionic energies emitted by the Aliens.
If there is a possibility, I would like to reach out to Sirian organizations involved with the Aliens to see how they deal with mental assaults conducted by their enemies.
At the orbit of New Paris, I detected an IFF signal bearing the mark of the Rheinland Military. Being unaware of any sanctioned military movements in our space, I decided to follow the ship in question to the Champagne System.
Having arrived in the system, I was surprised to see that the [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel was a Gallic Liner. After a short conversation with the vessel's captain, I escorted it through the Alsace Corridor to their system of Stuttgart. Below, I have provided logs of the short conversation between me and the captain.
[RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: Guten abend Gallic friends.
[26.07.2024 17:17:35] GNI/-Solarie: Bonjour Rheinland vessel.
[26.07.2024 17:18:16] GNI/-Solarie: Qute a strange ship for a military to have?
[26.07.2024 17:18:38] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel - Gallic Liner
[26.07.2024 17:18:38] Player Faction ID - Rheinland Military
[26.07.2024 17:18:55] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: This vessel was procured for military expeditionary missions.
[26.07.2024 17:19:57] GNI/-Solarie: That was a wise decision my friend.It will serve you well.
[26.07.2024 17:20:22] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: Affirmative, we're charted to head back through the Alsace passage and into Frankfurt.
[26.07.2024 17:20:37] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: If there are no security concerns we'll proceed on your blessing.
[26.07.2024 17:21:05] GNI/-Solarie: Allow me to escort you back to your House space.
[26.07.2024 17:26:50] GNI/-Solarie: This is where we part ways, save travels.
[26.07.2024 17:27:08] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: Affirmative, the Altenburg's security cordon should see you back to Zurich at least.
[26.07.2024 17:27:22] [RM]HM-Elsass.Mosel: RO: We're proceeding into Stuttgart, safe travels.
