Yeah. I'm about a third certain it's what I comprehend it is. But why the hell? Noderate out here is terrible. Like, the bitrate is making like a Corin; it's fried. Bad joke? Yeah, terrible.

I figure the image the Lane Hackers sold us was a digital composite. Our boys didn't twig on it, but the distance indicators to Pacifica were all a-fry. Horst figured were being deceptively dumb when none of the correct locations twigged. That's a lot of work that went into hiding this place.

My pilot who picked it up? Give him a raise and a bottle of the finer stuff. If his stellarator threw a funny he wouldn't have been found for the next few billion years. I'm heading out myself to check it's not a faulty transponder - he did the right thing and wigged it before going to investigate himself.

Either way, the element of surprise isn't mass, it's void - we hit them in twenty-four hours and vent the hull out. Wierd if it is what I think it is - they've had plenty of time to boost it up.

“This life abides. My old union boss used to tell me that one. This life abides. It's brutal, difficult to work with, and full of people, for one reason or another, want you, your family dead, to back up a cause."


"He was hauling illegal goods. Guns. Blackmarket and unregistered. Probably rolled off the wagon in-bulk from the Ring. Mafia ordinance loaded up on a titanic liner. I suspect the crew were aboveboard - they usually all are, right? He sniffed the scent of coin."

"Black market munitions. Pallets and pallets of them - stacked high. You'd think he'd hear out or proposition considerin' he had few friends and the police wern't going to bail him out of this one. Bad day."

"No. He fired everything he had at us. Maybe even some of the cargo."

"The ship detonates. Antimatter and gluon plasma, high explosive and whatever he's hauling. Disgusted, deadly fireworks."

Subject: Patrol report
[Image: xkJMf7Q.png]

With federal forces out of picture and our recent Imperial allies shifting the focus to holding Hessies in Cologne it is for Alster arbeiters to oversee the rest of Rheinland and insure its safety and comfort for hard-working people. Especially when some boors use calm of coup aftermath for their own purposes.

Like recently encountered "Bustard" Civilian Light Carrier with call sign "Metal.Aligator". Its captain managed to smuggle a good load of Gallic poison to Freeport 2 trough corrupted pharaohs of Liberty, comms and visual reports are related below.Sadly, even sharp looking, our single VHF stands no chances against a capital class boat, suggesting providing some more arms to a next patrol.
[+] Bering contact,Freelancer carrier
Smuggler encounters didn't end there. Then I've found a silent freelancer on "Raba" traversing Frankfurt with heavy load of artifacts. Any attempts of breaking silence were ignored, and when I was fired upon, the decision to ease Rheinswehr a day by taking out that guy was made. Even with Valkyrie hired mercs and Erick Eikel that quickly came for help, tough ship made it to the docking bays of New Berlin, where it most likely was met by local police "welcoming party", as planet's Traffic Control was already informed about such an unusual guest.
[+] Frankfurt contact,Freelancer Raba
All this scene was pictured by a reporter and I'm unsure how to feel about that. Later in orbit around Berlin Eric and I were asked a few questions about recently ended coup, and we couldn't resist saying some stupid things that will sure appear in upcoming extranet articles. I see no need for wiring comms about this one here.

The last and most enigmatic one encounter was with unknown whale signature, the first non-Zoner in my life. After some chat we've figured out it was a ship of some Kusarian corp called "Musashi Innovations" associated with weaponry production as Whale captain stated. He also told us that a large stack of black market ammunition in his hold was a delivery for Leipheim, so we gladly escorted him to destination. "Weapons" and "Innovations" sound as good combination and I'm suggesting reaching this corp representatives out about possible proposals, they look way more promising that your usual ammunition suppliers.

"A'ight listen up boys and girls!
Imma be completely honest with y'all. I don't like the way this is goin'. I've been takin' some time off since the whole "wanna-be civil war" thingy. This ain't what we are about. Look... Maybe I missed somethin' in all this but tell me. What exactly are we fightin' for? "

"Before it was obvious. When we fought Harmony in Bering we knew what was our goal... Or purpose. We knew our goal was to defend the Unioners in Bering. We knew we were fightin' for Bering itself. OR when we fought in Liberty. We knew WHAT we were doing and we knew WHAT we're fighting for. Now tell me. What are we fightin' for? I understand we're closer to our goal than ever but is this really what we're about? Sure, we always wanted Rhineland to be ours but is this really the way we are choosin'?"

"During my time with the Union, I've never seen a war so empty and emotionless. I was always ready to die for the Union and I would lay my soul down here in front of you right now if I had to. But this ain't it. The enemy we've fought for decades is suddenly on our side. What made them change their mind? We slaughtered thousands of Military pilots in the most gruesome ways possible. And now it is as nothin' ever happened. They are expecting us to just blend in? We aren't ordinary citizens of Rhineland, we never were. We are outlaws. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that. To many of us, Unioners are a family. So now you just expect for me to fight for some dude I never knew with a crown on his head thinkin' he's somethin' special? I ain't gonna die for someone who ain't willin' to die for me. This ain't gonna be how my life ends. So now they expect us to treat them like allies while they, very obviously, treat us like criminals?"

I've listened trough, James. Time for the stunning answers.

Unioners are still family to us all. And I guess you would never put your family members in danger, such as witnessing whole Liberty fleet demolishing Pacifica by dozen of Archers. Fighting for our home once again, as we were in Harmony being a thing times, will bring us to exactly that. Dying for ideals or single-handedly fighting out assaulting House forces is not for what outlaws are known for, am I right? But we are well known for to putting down roots there, where squishing workers corporations, bloodthirsty generals and climbing over the heads careerists-politians least expect. And then we shove their own ambitions where the sun doesn't Shine.

The same exact thing will happen to the Kaiserreich if they'll commit any wrong moves, for which the Bundestag was thrown out by Rheinland people. They have enough smarts to admit that, and proceeding with their best to suit the needs of their "subjects" as well as of "respected friends", such as us. Which brings us on how to we ended up in one boat with Rheinwehr pilots, who were also surprised to see our wings close to theirs. Can't say for sure, but when uprising spread to stations and planet-wise, many Union cells greatly suffered in clashes with resurgent fed forced, so siding with Imperial supporters was more "for of my foe" thing. I personally heard the news of our union branches falling one by one, while was tirelessly patching ships of officers who cared less showing me some gratitude for a good work on Pacifica. And where were you? The House-wide Pardon Order - generally forgetting our merciless deeds, is the nicest offer we could ever get for the blood lost in all this madness, in which we found ourselves against our will. You can at least give that to the crowned guy and his hangers.

Our brothers and sisters died for no one but us, and so should we, while restoring the strength of Alster Union in these changing times, with possibilities and resources it never had, considering the whole Rheinland is in our hands for the time being. I guess that's pretty much it, if you have any other questions - just let me know.

"Hah. I'm not gonna say I'm pleased with all of your answers but I guess this is as good as it gets. To answer ya question. Where was I; I was in Frankfurt durin' the beginnings of the war. Watchin' my brothers and sisters die for the ungrateful "allies" we once swore to destroy. Then I left. I got tired of us gettin' ambushed by Hessians while the Military just passed by not givin' a single damn about us. This ain't no love story. I did what was best for my crew."

"You mentioned one of my concerns. Pacifica is being put in great danger. Now... I know for a fact that we've put a lot of work Into that pile o' metal. It would be a shame for it to all go to waste. But then again, we must do what is best for its inhabitants. That bein' said. I would like to recommend a deconstruction of the base. It hurts for me to say this, yes. But I would much rather have the base deconstructed by us than a bunch of Libertonian Overlords. I recommend the workers to be moved somewhere else. Now... I must think about a safe place for us to move all the workers to. Pacifica ain't safe no more, that fo' sure. But we should discuss this somewhere else."

"One more thing. I moved my a*s from Texas. I parked the Black Arrow on Pacifica for the time being until we can assign some real work for it. With this message, I'm also callin' upon the Unioners that want to join me on a bit of an unusual operation."
"I'll await the bosses' permission so I can assign the squadrons to where they should be. For the time being. Peace."

"AY SWEETHEARTS!!! I just spoke with some doctor. He says that our medical facilities on Pacifica could use some... "upgradin' " so yeah. He will make us a list of resources we need and we'll get them to Pacifica so we can finally upgrade our stuff. For the time bein', go bring me some mobile medical units from that Freelancer base in Sigma 13. I need 20 of those and I'll pay 20 million credits to the guy who does it first. Attach proof of the delivery bellow. So after this is all done perhaps folks at Pacifica will have better healthcare. Ain't that just a dream scenario?"
