Rheinland military forces. This is Adam Spire. I don't have much time for formalities so I'll have to be quick. We were able to aquire ship movements and station locations in the Tau 44 system. Some of the larger ships, like the Zephyr carriers have data and material on their navigation computer we wanted to get a hold of. This was my attempt to find out where the IMG and Guard forces have been operating along the Rheinland borders, contacts, and planetary data.
Gun fire heard in the back ground
Our plan was to bring some scientists, ship crew and command personel and board one of their carriers, steal the data and make a break for it. Well, our plan didn't quite work out so well. Our transport ship that brought us here was damaged by an random Outcast patrol and the station's guns caught us and damaged the transport's engines. They also had more guards here than we thought so...we're kina about to steal a Zephyr carrier.
I know We're on our own, but we going to bring this thing in to Rheinland, one way or another. The Ships main weapons are off line and we can only get control to the navigation and shields. We'll try to get the weapons working but with this ship being in the damn middle of no where....We have to go.
Look, Im sorry I didn't tell you about this earlier. We'll have words later.

I've been out of touch the last five days, making our way through the tau systems now at the edge of Leeds. We've decided to head through the omegas into Rheinland. There we will submit the ship under Rheinland military/police control.
We still dont have our cruise engines on line as well as many of the ships main guns. We've relied on waiting for hours before moving to the next system, but now it seems the only way to get into Rheinland is to head straight to it. I just don't want Rheinland opening fire on us the moment we enter the system.
I, also heard about the negotiations between you and the IMG. A little late, but I hope Rheinland isn't getting the short end of the stick, but knowing Daumann's stake in that system I doubt it. I expected this conflict to drudge on through a bit longer, no matter.
The ship is currently under the command of Hans Reinhardt, a man who has been in and out of the Rheinland political field for decades now. If we can make it to Rheinland, and depending on the will of Rheinland, he will relinquish control of the ship to the Military forces or decommission it.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm not expecting Rheinland to acknowledge or assist me in this endeavor, I just, wanted you to know. I'm still a freelancer, but a week ago I didn't expect to be hauling an IMG carrier into Rheinland either.
If I make it back home we'll talk about this in detail. I just wanted to let you know I purposefully kept the other Freelancers out of this because, like I keep saying, I'm a Freelancer, if I win , I win, if I fail, its all me.
All I do I do for Rheinland.

//after some clarifications, we decided to pursue the idea in roleplay.

Shortly after the unscheduled launch of the Zepyhr, the following takes place:
"Sir!" a voice shouted into comms: "Sir!" and it sounded excited.
"I'm busy... what is it?" a Commander turned his head slowly, looking up from some messages that he had been working on.
"Sir, we have lost contact with an IMG Zephyr carrier that was scheduled for decomission and was being stripped at our Shipyard."
"We lost... huh?" the Commander looked at the Comm-Sergeant in disbelief.
"Comms and security camera feeds indicate that a small vessel that had perfect papers docked at the Yard. Likely forged... but perfect work. No indications of origin in the ditched ship, Sir. It's wiped like... clinically. But it's life support system and oxygen levels indicate that there were between 20 and 50 persons in it."
"Boarding specialists?" the Commander leaned forward, his head getting a red colour...
"Likely... Somehow they must have taken control of the carrier and they managed to steer it out of the docking bay. There are some losses on the shipyard, Sir."
"Are you serious? They managed to board the Zephyr... where was the guard unit?!" the Commander shouted out... "How could that happen?!"
"Ehm... Commander... Sir... the ship is a piece of scrap, basically. It was shot so badly in a fight against Brigands and Outcasts, that high command decided only to patch it up for towing it back... to salvage some of its components. I mean... it cannot cruise, its main guns have already been uninstalled, the shields were scheduled to be disabled today..."
"Why... the hell... should anybody steal a piece of scrap?" blurted the Commander and pushed a Comm button, while the Comm-Sergeant fell silent.
"I will inform the Guild, and we will start a grid-search for the lost Zephyr. Whatever they want... with this piece of floating metal, they will have to fight for it... I bet it's the Outcast. However... get me all information to my desk, now. And now... get out of here. I have to inform the Guild about that... issue."

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]I am please to say that this ship has held under its, how shall I put it, less than admirable state. With the supplies delivered we are working to repair the cruse engines. With most of the former ship's crew and security, pacified, we can continue without further interruption. I will avoid entering Rheinland for the time, with the Colonials and IMG oblivious as to our whereabouts, we will proceed as planned.
//Sorry to OORP, but: that was not the way we agreed on. We said (moths ago) that there needs to be rp on the server, that you need to be online with the carrier and survive while iother know about you being there, we talked about mini events and irp resupplying...
This is not going to happen that way. As I am no GM any more, it's in Nicks's responsibility now. But I don't see any of the prerequisites that we had put up for this rp as fulfilled... so... sorry. I can't say I like this.
// did you miss the part where this was 4 months ago? This whole thing is still in hiatius and all I have been doing is asking about its entrance into the sever. And since panzer is dead set against this, what chance does this RP have? Keep this out of the communication forums and into PM or skype until we can work it out. Thank you.

Take it to PMs, until this matter is resolved to the satisfaction of both parties this thread will be locked and labelled as power-gaming without the appropriate approvals.
