The Zoner Conference

[Wafellini]

Maximus stands up suprised by mr Cross and returns the favor...they shake hands:

Senior...I have contacted Mr Church on the matter of Omicron Lost..and it seems he kept a promise to not share the info or simply didn't get the message. I agree that secrets are only making the distance between our groups bigger but to be honest I didn't get a chance to read what we managed to recover from O74 and what leaving Omicroners didn't destroy or took with them.
As far as I have been informed after we managed to gather the remains of Omicroners ships and left behind data - the info that was kept so secret were mostly diplomatic relations with particular groups in Sirius ... Omicroners before they left managed to destroy or take with them everything important and classified..what we managed to salvage was mostly parts of old research projects and data from ships that were left behind...at this point this data is basicly useless...it doesn't have any connection with each other and our technicians are still trying to decode and recover the files that were damaged. Be sure that if we manage to get anything of any value for Zoners community we will pressent it to you.

Now to the Omicron Lost case...
I believe I have the data I presented to Senior Church with me so I will just let you read. I believe this will explain my personal intrest and Phoenix actions about the Omicron Lost.

Maximus opens a file on his PDA and sends it to everyone gathered at the conference - the file originaly was adressed to Senior James Church only:

As you probably remember before I joined the Omicroners , I was a leader of Zoner group known as "Pioneer Corpration". I believe both OSI and PC started their existance nearly at the same time. Both of our groups by that time were growing in numbers and spreading their influence. As a Pioneer back then our main goal was to seek new colonisation targets and develop the cold and unfriendly space of Omicrons. Our goal was to help those who live in this hazardous space. One of our exploration missions in Omicron Lost ended in destruction of whole PC fleet. When our ships were leaving the system we have been ambushed by large Nomad fleet which numbers were too big for our security ships to cover. Many of my friends and people I considered as brothers and sisters died in that atack.
I am sending you a part of Pioneer Corporation and my personal reports from that events:

(...situation takes place after PC fleet leaves Omicron Lost after exploration mission...)
When Max decided to set course on Kappa suddenly from Omicron Lost they detected a possible contact incomming. While all ships focused their radars on that source of power, a horde of small nomad snubcrafts decloaked around them. It was a trap. A Jinkusu flag ship managed to shield some of the ships fleeing but it was a masacre. When Maximus was drifting away in his escape pod he saw a blast of the flag ship and Nomads vanishing in the Lost jumphole. He knew...it was over. The pilots who survived were paid the share of money left from selling Pioneer Corporation assets and it was the end of once strong and prosperous faction. Maximus knew that it was the only way to repay those people for the loss that they experianced...it was the only thing he could and had to do.

Left only with his Corvo ship and few crew members survived from PC jinkusu, Max set course on Omicron 74 where some of his friends decided to join the Omicroners. It was oportunity for Max to rebuild and recover from the loss. He's never stopped blaming himself for that atack. The anger was unimaginable it was pushing him forward and at the same time it was making him blind. He was taking risks that noone would even consider. That lead him to another dissaster. In 817 Maximus decided to lead an exploration mission into Lost system to look for remaining nomad ships and to have his revange on those squids. Once again he came into Nomad trap and his ship was damaged. This time Maximus decided that he is going to fight them off or die trying. The battle lasted for hours and the wings of nomads were numerous. It looked like they were organising for some powerful strike...then he understood. The nomad target was Minor. He knew some of the agents there, as a PC member and Omicroner he had the respect of pilots there. Blasted squids blocked his transmission and he couldn't warn them. The nomad force was massive...the single corvo failed and was left wracked in the Lost deep dark space. Emergancy Signal received by Omicroners saved him after weeks in hibernation.

I believe that if you ask the 77th members if they experienced Nomad atacks in the system they will confirm that and if they don't well it doesn't change the fact that I have my personal reasons to continue my operations in that systems. I haven't yet recovered all the data from ships destroyed there nor I have found the remains of my old fleet. What I know for sure is that Nomads have their intrest in that sector and it seems another alien species known to us as 77th group is living their too. Maybe it's the 77th secretly working with the Nomads..or the Nomads are detecting them and the presence of 77th is what brings Nomads in the sector. I will continue my research even if everyone will tell me it's pointless...I have failed those who trusted me once and I am not going to make the same mistake again and if that means I will have to fight those who threat my people then so be it...If you have questions I will try to answer them.

As I have already said here I have gathered data about nomad pressence in the system and around Lost and apart of my lost fleet ships I still consider stopping the nomad invasion my personal goal. I am unable to do it with arms but I can gather data that might be important in the fight against K'hara. As for my Pioneer ships ... it's my resposibility to recover everything I can and gather all that was left behind.

Maximus was about to sit down

Oh and my two cents about Bretonia - Omega 3 case...I don't believe Bretonia will aim to hurt the relations with Zoner community especialy considering the ammount of enemies around their house space... having another unfriendly group wouldn't be good for their economy or simply PR. Not to mention that Bretonia being exhausted by the wars isn't really able to make any...strong steps into Omega 3 that could threat Freeport residents and their freedom. I suggest we all take a deep breath before we start our actions against anyone in that sector. Corsairs have proved that they are capable of defending their influence in Omegas and Smallwood was a good show of their determination. Sprague colonization isn't a threat to Freeport One future in my opinion.
As for selling the stations to anyone ... especialy house corporations ... I strongly suggest not to... Zoners have so little our own instalations that getting rid of them simply because the area around them is changing is like hiding your head in the sand. I don't find that way proper or effective. Selling a base to one group might back fire on us and our diplomatic stense with another group. To remain neutral we need to seek the solution via diplomacy.
Maximus nods to mr Cross and mr Holliday and sits down.
