Good evening. That's First Lieutenant Tom Murry of the Black Guard speaking.
At the moment I am in Burgundy. I am fine, I am alive and I just found the occasion to deploy a long range antenna that helped me get in touch with you.
I've been in Gallia for quite a while now. I can tell you it's two weeks already. I've managed to visit the core systems, Burgundy, Dauphine, Languedoc and Ile-De-France but also some secondary systems. That ones would be Orleans, Berry and Lyonnais. Orleans and Berry, as I could notice are two important systems for Gallic Metal Service. I've noticed several mining stations but not much activity. It may look that the Asteroid Fields have been exhausted of ore by the time.
Lyonnais is a different kind of system. I managed to find out from a freelancer that buys stuff from Gallia for his mall. His name was Tomathy Macy. I've found him the perfect person to gain information and he was also friendly and cooperative. So there is my conversation log. I will try to transmit it trough long range freqencies but it may take a while.

Quote:BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Hello freelancer.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Wow, a bretonian crafted ship in deep gallia, that is something.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Oh pardon
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: I was absent in my cabine...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Well, it may be of Britonian origin, but it is used as a Freelancer ship.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And, strange to see a Britonian in Depp Gallia Space...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Recon Mission?
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: That might be a start.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: A-haa...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, I may to other stuff here too but you're just a stranger yet.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Your name is Macy, right?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Yes, Tomathy Macy.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Nice to meet you. I'm Tom.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: It is a pleasure.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, I see you've got a mobile shopping mall there.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Yes, i am picking up something here...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Since it is not available in other houses...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Which makes the whole deal interesting.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I suppose you've picked things up from all over sirius?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Not yet, when it comes to luxury goods, Gallia is first choice...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: regardless how blood-thirsty they are.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: So, my main source is Gallia.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I understand.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: The Yankees love this stuff.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: But you're of no gallic origin.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And i loce their money.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Makes sense.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And yes, thats true. But show some credits to certain people and you are fine here.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I was beting it.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Corruption, relations and good trades...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: That is what counts here.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Fine business you are running if I can tell.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Do you know how are the gallic civilians?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Thank you, Sir. When they stop their senseless firing at you...maybe youa re interested in something?
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: They're slaves? Happy people?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Oh, that...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Well, the people i have seen so far are totally normal.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: It is quite silly to talk here. Any time some police officers may catch us.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: But Gallia is empty and after Bretons.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Lets move a bit then...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: So, your question...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: So they're not a kind of different race. They don't have much different habits.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: The Gallic people are normal...no significant difference...but their dinner and lunch is sooo long...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: They eat like 2 hours...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: They're fat?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Waste of time and money, in my opinion...but trivial for others.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Though they like to eat...not fatter than Yankees. You know what i mean.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I don't remember the last time I had a big meal. Do you have any good food by the way?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Food...hm, i wanted to pick luxury food up at Rheinland...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Eating from Council and Maquis diggs a hole in my stomach.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: But when it serves you, i can get some from the nearby base.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, that's not a hurry.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Just offering...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Lyonnais is a holiday destination for gauls?
Death: CFH-Nova.Surfer died.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: I guess so. I just buy stuff here from certain people...not more.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: This system looks cool. So much white color.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: How about security? The gallics are easy to corrup.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: But are there many police officers around bases and so on?
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: How big is the seccurity in Ille-De-France?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Their frontlines are well guarded...but when you passed those, the inner area of Gallia is not well-guarded.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And Ile de France...beside the Palais Area, there are nearly no police officers.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: That's good news.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And, Marines are rarly seen.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I've seen a lot of battleships all over the place.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Good for me as well...no unnecessary questions about export then...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Like said, in the Core Systems, there are not that much of patrols.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Maine...Ile de France...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And here.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I admit I've never been in Maine.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Do you know anything about that system?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: It is their industrial center....
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: I say, such an economy!
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: No wonder they can survive by their own, isolated.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: That's a place for me to visit maybe *wink*. After my "holiday" is over here.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: I understand. *smiles*
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: So what are you picking up from Lyonnais right now?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Just avoid "meeting" my contacts, alright?
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Obvious.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Furs, and Optronics.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Real fur is rare in other Houses.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Don't tell me.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Lyonnais is well populated?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Though i could never kill an animal...but their fur is profitable, and they are killed by Gallics, so...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Planet Lyon I mean.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And, Lyon is not so densly populated.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: The stations...thats a category for itself.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Yet a holiday destination?
Death: LPI-Martin,Reynolds[O] was put out of action by ~VP)Exiled.Orchid (Gun)
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Something like Baden Baden?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Aye. Lots of tourists, but not that many settlers who live there.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: 2/3 of the people down there are tourists. Which i did not count when i said Lyon isnt populated densly.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Tourists are from Gallia only?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Puh...maybe you visit a tourist information? I have no clue, but since they have such a strict immigration control...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: I believe so.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Don't tell about me, I'd like to be a "tourist" but that's not possible. Can't get past the docking gate access.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Figures.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Do you know any outside corporations that do trade with Gallia?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: IMG.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: They bring them ore?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Freelancers, when you count us as a corporation...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: And yes, they have contracts with GMS.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, freelancers don't interest me.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: How about Kusari?
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Or Rhienland? Liberty I doubt.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Hm...good point. I have never seen anybody else around here...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: But since they are allied with Kusari now, i think their corporations will cooperate as well.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: But do you know gallic trading ships that leave for Sirius and where are they going?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Oh, the Council can be frequently seen in the Omegas...Liberty as well.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: My concurrence, since they bring stuff from here down there...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: I know about them. But IDF, EFL, GMS, the other guys?
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Nah.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: They would arrive there...in peices.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: So they're all locked up here in their own universe.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: *ahem* pieces
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Yes, their economy.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Yet want to Conquer Bretonia, make their universe larger.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Indeed. The isolation amde them strong.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: No external enemy.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Instead of creating a peaceful economical based empire.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Only some light internal struggles...
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: They would have the potential, i tell you.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Allright, can you grab me some food now? I'll pay. And make sure you get the good stuff.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Aye.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: A gallic speciality maybe. And not poisoned *giggles*.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Ill do my best. *winks*
Traffic control alert: Macy's_Shopping_Mall has requested to dock
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: strange...
Traffic control alert: Macy's_Shopping_Mall has requested to dock
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Now look at that!
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Huhuh?

BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Wow, diamonds.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: For the best price.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: So, want some wine with your food?

BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, thanks for that, I must tell.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Roger, i have to get to Berry next.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Safe skies, Mister! Was nice to meet you.
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Now that you've got diamonds, anything more to grab from Gallia, or going outside?
[12.01.2013 21:56:09] Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Oh, Pearls...Cigars...Sculptures...Silver...
BIS|BG-1Lt.Tom.Murry: Well, good luck with the gauls, *waves*.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: Yep, that's it.
Macy's_Shopping_Mall: *salutes*
He was flying a Firefly, a bretonian crafted vessel so that made me trust him even more. I didn't got from him intel only about Lyonnais. He instead offered me valuable information about gallic civillians, their way of life, the place where most of gaul industry is, Maine. I also found out that gallic officers aren't a big deal to corrup and the core systems of Gallia aren't well guarded an patrolled same as the stations. He also provided me some good food from Planet Lyon and a wine. It was a while from the last time I ate well and had a good drink. The Wine was of very good quality, semisweet, just good to put my blood in circulation. I hope in the next weeks I'll encounter more freelancers that can transfer valuable information so much required to undermine the Gallic Crown.
I'll leave it now. I hope we'll hear soon enough.
I shall fight for the queen till the end!
Carina, Regina, Imperatrix!
