Whilst on patrol, I came across a Freelancer who held a Derelict Nomad Artifact in his possession. Whilst issuing him a demand, at the promise of compensation, an Order battleship decloaked upon me. The Freelancer began to flee from the scene, with the Order battleship trying to convince it to head to Mu. It almost did, but with some persuasion I made it head towards Minor, where it stopped at Meskhenet station. I threatened him with hostility if he proceeded to dock, and managed to convince him to stay space-bound until the Core reinforcements arrived. After seeing our fearsome power, the battleship backed down and we convinced the Freelancer to venture to Omicron Rho with us at the promise of compensation for his artifact.

I had alerted the defenses on the other side of the Rho jump hole to target the Freelancer as soon as he jumped in, and to severely cripple it as much as possible. Against our expectations, the fool jumped into Rho, whereby he was met with violence by our defenses. Once crippled and realizing that he was in a dangerously sticky situation, he reluctantly dropped his artifact, without us needing to pay him.

We then left him for dead. I alerted the defenses to not fire on him to at least give him a little chance of survival. Since I did not hear of his demise, I'll assume that he made it out of our Rho.

Hopefully he'll take this lesson on Omicron politics to heart.

[09.05.2015 22:49:38] Core|AV-Cerberus: We are not murderous savages like The Order.
[09.05.2015 22:49:41] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: dont trust him
[09.05.2015 22:50:04] SV-Atreyu: That is an assault carrier and you are just a gunship.
[09.05.2015 22:50:09] Core|AV-Cerberus: So?
[09.05.2015 22:50:15] Core|AV-Cerberus: I have no intention of engaging you.
[09.05.2015 22:50:23] SV-Atreyu: This is a research vessel and I would rather destroy it than be in a war with either of you.
[09.05.2015 22:50:55] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: do to taba station, we will protest you
[09.05.2015 22:50:59] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: *go

[09.05.2015 22:51:29] Core|AV-Cerberus: Good.

Confrontation at Meskhenet
[09.05.2015 22:51:54] Core|AV-Cerberus: Do not dock.
[09.05.2015 22:52:00] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: yes dock
[09.05.2015 22:52:07] Core|AV-Cerberus: Dock, and you will be an enemy of The Core.
[09.05.2015 22:52:18] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: order will protect you
[09.05.2015 22:52:22] SV-Atreyu: Some one needs to tell me why this is so valuable and why you want it.
[09.05.2015 22:52:29] Core|AV-Cerberus: The Order can offer you nothing.
[09.05.2015 22:52:46] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: we cant risk nomad technology in wrong hands
[09.05.2015 22:52:53] Core|AV-Cerberus: They are savages, savages who do not understand the benefits of artifacts such as that.
[09.05.2015 22:52:59] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: its a ge=reat danger to all humanity
[09.05.2015 22:53:00] SV-Atreyu: My very first experience with the Core was undocking from Freeport 15 and being attacked.
[09.05.2015 22:53:06] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: *great
[09.05.2015 22:53:13] SV-Atreyu: So you will forgive me for not trusting you.
[09.05.2015 22:53:21] Core|AV-Cerberus: As you can see, that Order agent wishes to forcefully take your artifact from you.
[09.05.2015 22:53:24] SV-Atreyu: As for the Order I grew up hearing you were terrorists.
[09.05.2015 22:53:41] Sunburn: Good evening.
[09.05.2015 22:53:51] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: well...
[09.05.2015 22:53:53] Core|AV-Cerberus: Atreyu, we need to move immediately.
[09.05.2015 22:53:54] SV-Atreyu: Greetings
[09.05.2015 22:54:43] SV-Atreyu: Where are we going?
[09.05.2015 22:54:48] Core|AV-Cerberus: Omicron Rho.
[09.05.2015 22:54:55] Core|AV-Cerberus: Or rather, Delta at least.
[09.05.2015 22:55:14] CWV-Eden: Carter: To put it simplier - a much safer place than this one.
[09.05.2015 22:55:22] Core|AV-Cerberus: Actually, given the presence of The Order vessel Rho would be a much more suitable choice.
[09.05.2015 22:55:38] SV-Atreyu: Core vessels always attack me. I've yet to have an Order vessel do so.
[09.05.2015 22:55:49] Core|AV-Cerberus: Core vessels will continue to attack you if you dare dock on that station.
[09.05.2015 22:56:13] SV-Atreyu: If I don't give this to the Order that carrier will undock and destroy me.
[09.05.2015 22:56:18] Core|AV-Cerberus: Not if you come with us
[09.05.2015 22:56:32] Core|Anassi: Rivers: None of your business, robot.
[09.05.2015 22:56:48] Sunburn: Oh, hey, one of those things.
[09.05.2015 22:56:52] SV-Atreyu: That is like asking me to either go with the Wolf or the Lion.
[09.05.2015 22:56:54] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: hi eden
[09.05.2015 22:57:15] CWV-Eden: Carter: Hello.
[09.05.2015 22:57:24] Core|AV-Cerberus: The Order are not to be trusted.
[09.05.2015 22:57:24] O'Rhu|CV.606-Demonica: well, more core
[09.05.2015 22:57:39] Core|AV-Cerberus: All they will is to destroy those who harbor artifacts like yours
[09.05.2015 22:57:50] Core|AV-Cerberus: As soon as it has the chance, it will kill you, mark my words
[09.05.2015 22:58:02] SV-Atreyu: You have also threatened me though.
[09.05.2015 22:58:06] Core|Anassi: Rivers: Don't you see? You're a pawn of the Order
[09.05.2015 22:58:15] <PRIME>Chi01: ::<negative> AI's 'Business' is <collecting> [Datas]::
[09.05.2015 22:58:22] CWV-Eden: Carter: So i suppose you choose The Order over us?
[09.05.2015 22:58:44] SV-Atreyu: I would rather choose neither but I have no choice but to choose the core.

Luring the vessel to Rho
[09.05.2015 22:58:51] Core|AV-Cerberus: You have made the right choice
[09.05.2015 22:58:53] Core|AV-Cerberus: Lets go to Rho
[09.05.2015 22:59:08] Core|AV-Cerberus: Coordinate G7 on your navmap
[09.05.2015 22:59:15] SV-Atreyu: My crew will demand reparations for the danger that both of you have put my ship in.
[09.05.2015 22:59:31] Core|AV-Cerberus: Mhm, that will be done once we have reached safety.
[09.05.2015 23:00:14] SV-Atreyu: Very well... I'm sure your station will just destroy me as soon as I go through the jump hole though.
[09.05.2015 23:01:20] Core|AV-Cerberus: You do not seem to be heading for Rho.
[09.05.2015 23:01:32] SV-Atreyu: Just avoiding the corona of the sun
[09.05.2015 23:01:41] Core|AV-Cerberus: Very well.
[09.05.2015 23:03:29] Core|AV-Cerberus: Hold at Capetown
[09.05.2015 23:03:37] Core|AV-Cerberus: I will jump into Rho with you, first I need to restock
[09.05.2015 23:03:44] Core|AV-Cerberus: We will pass Capetown on our way here.
[09.05.2015 23:03:48] SV-Atreyu: I cannot get too close to the station.
[09.05.2015 23:03:56] Core|AV-Cerberus: Halt here then
[09.05.2015 23:04:36] Core|AV-Cerberus: Alright, head to Rho now
[09.05.2015 23:04:43] Core|AV-Cerberus: Careful of Capetown
[09.05.2015 23:05:04] SV-Atreyu: Don't have Rho on scanners yet
[09.05.2015 23:05:08] Core|AV-Cerberus: This way
[09.05.2015 23:05:09] Core|AV-Cerberus: To me
[09.05.2015 23:05:11] Core|Anassi: Rivers: To the left.
[09.05.2015 23:05:28] SV-Atreyu: I have it on scanners

Trapped in Rho
[09.05.2015 23:07:03] Core|AV-Cerberus: I will allow you to leave here alive, if you drop your artifact
[09.05.2015 23:07:08] Core|AV-Cerberus: Do it. Now.
[09.05.2015 23:07:24] SV-Atreyu: So you are a liar then.
[09.05.2015 23:07:39] Core|AV-Cerberus: There are no liars out here.
[09.05.2015 23:07:52] Core|AV-Cerberus: Merely different people with different objectives
[09.05.2015 23:07:54] Sunburn: Home sweet home.
[09.05.2015 23:08:04] Core|AV-Cerberus: We have retrieved the artifact.
[09.05.2015 23:08:10] Core|AV-Cerberus: We could kill him anyway, but to do so would be a waste
[09.05.2015 23:08:24] Core|AV-Cerberus: He can make his own way out of here.
[09.05.2015 23:08:51] SV-Atreyu: I will remember how you treated a civilian science vessel.
[09.05.2015 23:09:01] Core|AV-Cerberus: Head to the Delta hole, Battle group.
[09.05.2015 23:09:03] Core|Anassi: Rivers: And we'll remember how you tried to help the Order.
[09.05.2015 23:09:04] CWV-Eden: Carter: Was that a threat?
[09.05.2015 23:09:07] Core|AV-Cerberus: Freelancer, there are no civilians out here.
