*A Young Male voice emits from the comms*
"Guten Tag; or... Uh... Bonjour, I mean. My name is Rudiger, and I'm just a Barrier Freelancer who is a big fan of your Council movement."
"I watched a battle between your forces and the Royalists just yesterday in the... Languedoc system, ja! There was a Gunboat Captain who I afterwards spoke to... What was his name... Maybe Herr Piers? Ja, that had to be it."
"Well... Uh, anyway! Somehow our conversation turned to speaking about Nomads and Das Wilde, and I decided to show off some of the things I've learned about them."
"There's some system that they've taken to occupying in the Barrier, designated by my Nav-Computer as 'Tau-117'. I guess these images might help to sway some of the people in your Kingdom who haven't made up their minds, that... Well. Despite what your Monarch says, we aren't alone out here."
"Herr Piers had told me that, anyway. I'll let you guage the use of any of that stuff as you'd like, schutzen."
Bonjour and greetings, Rudiger Möller. This transmission is to tell you that your message has been received as far as Pamiers in Rousillon, but that we have received no reply from Council core systems and upper command structures at this time.
The information you have collected is indeed interesting and hopefully can be used to help further lower the public opinion of the Crown by debunking their coverup of these aliens. It is...not much, but any potential weapon gifted us is appreciated. Please exercise continued patience waiting for a reply.
Oh, wunderbar! I'm glad to hear that someone is picking up the transmission. I guess I will need to cross my fingers and hope that the signal can make it through all of the jamming frequencies that are probably in that Languedoc Minefield, ja?
I have another few systems in mind that the Council could derive some kind of proof in seeing, but I think I'll wait for a reply before I go out risking my life again.
My name is Rafaello Sanzio, and I am currently the General En Chef of the Council's Liberation Forces.
As you might suggest, the Council aren't xenophobic, not toward foreign humans or alien species, and while your information is much appreciated, we are not going to act against either humans or aliens who are yet to show any kind of hostility toward us, even if they seem to like one of our enemies - The Outcasts. While having this information will make sure to alert better our guard, we are not planing to assault this system until either the Nomads or Das Wilde show hostile intentions toward us.
Bonjour, General en Chef. It is good to hear from Champagne.
If I may butt in, so to speak, for clarification - it was my understanding that the Crown and the Navy were denying all knowledge of these Nomads, at least publicly. Gallia does not know that humans are not alone in this universe, even if they happen to share it with what seem to be irrefutably hostile purple glowing aliens. It was my thought and suggestion that this information might be used as a political weapon against the Crown, not so that we could launch a strike against Tau-117. This freelancer Rudiger Möller brought us hard evidence of these aliens and has shown interest in joining the Council.
As per the Council tradition, we are not picky on whom decide to join our cause, be it among allied forces or even inside our own. While it is not common to see Sirians within the Council's ranks, I know myself of a few who did decide to join our cause. Some back before Quallian fell back into Royal hands were trained by myself, formerly part of the miner's guild.
As for the Royal navy, while they may not acknowledge the xeno-species, they are well aware we are not alone around this sector, and have known so for quite a while now. I think they even have their suspicions on the nomad themselves, as we have our own. While their refuse to cooperate with Sirians to a level like us block them large portion of that information, they are aware of it, do they choose to ignore it? Perhaps, hard for someone like me to tell.
General en Chef? That sounds like a lofty title! Nice to meet you!
Speaking as a... Uh... Former resident of Rheinland, I can only say that these Nomad aliens und their Wilde pawns are a gigantic threat to the safety of almost everyone, and what really scared me is to find that giant, ancient Jump Gate within the Barrier.
There are a few other systems that I could scour to try to find more proof, but it doesn't sound as if it'll help you unless your organization is scientifically inspired to use what they can learn from any of this.
In the meantime, I truly hope to be working at least alongside The Council in the coming months! Contact me if you require the aid of a Barrier Freelancer, bitte!
