Where to start, where to start…

I think it would be for the best if I relocate some older pages within this book to another, safer, location. I’ll keep the pages within my safe. Backed up some data onto my personal neural-network, cannot let anyone know about the Core and it’s detail. Might be useful blackmail information for later, should they turn, hmm… uncooperative.

I downloaded some of their databases on Durban, while I was temporarily the Guildmaster of the Core. I’ve always been a bit suspicious of their true intent, so it came to me as no surprise of their true goals.

Most of the data has been backed up on the Eidolon, so only I can access it. Most of the important data is guarded by multiple passwords, bio scans, voice scans and even using physical objects that have to be scanned in a sequenced order.

Before the ‘oh ever so great ionstorm’, most of the crew went into Cryostasis while ERIDIAN took care of the transverse from Delta to Coronado. We already took off the connection to the Core Network, so they shouldn’t be able to track us. Though, ERIDIAN took a little gander towards Kansas before waking us up, ‘they’ seemed to have encountered that Maltese girl who was looking to join the Core, Enma Loyola. After reviewing some of the encounter, it appears that she did get in the Core after all, hm.

Ever since our awakening upon the Eidolon, it’s obvious to us that change is in order. We need to find a direct source of funding and resources, lest it be turning to recycling, destroying others, or even blackmailing. Survival is a must. The directive of the Eidolon is to stay within the shadows, hidden from the public morale of Humanity. Most of the training, research, and any on-going missions shall occur on there. Once we finish setting up the automated systems and organising the ‘public’ sectors of the vessel, I shall order a set of crew to go out and live their daily life as a supposed civilian. In reality, they shall be gathering fundings for us, getting any sort of information, or finding any useful resource, and bringing it back to the Eidolon.

Naturally, the vessel will need some kind of defence, so we’re only sending out ten people maximum to venture out into this universe. Should any of us need to carry out an operation within ‘Core’ standards, we will go into incognito. Usage of Code Names or facade names is preferable.

Although that we’re not really part of the Core, we still -somewhat- have the same modus operandi. but we need to adapt to a newer, stealthier strategy. We have brought some APM tech with us to help combat the Nomads and the Wild, and to bail out any blackmarket Nomad remains dealer that we can catch. Open the Eidolon, there are spare vessels docked for any mission that we require.

Concerning the black market dealers, if we manage to take their loot, it can provide some good income for us, and not to mention, some valuable resource for the research labs on the Eidolon.

I’ll go ask around on the vessel, see if anyone is up for this occupation. Might need to spread people out across the houses, who knows. I hope Chris’ will be able to go with me.

Or maybe not, probably better if I go alone now that I think about it actually.

I’m going to head off today as a freelancing pilot, see what I can find myself within this universe.

Attaching Data: Notes for Pilots

---

You have been selected for our independent initiative protocol.
During this initiation, you are expected to constantly keep incognito, loyal to us and vigilant of your surroundings. You shall always respond to the current Keeper of the Eidolon, who is currently Saffir Raven.

Your objectives include:

-Obtaining any information
Including but not limited to: Geographical data, faction information, any trace on alien tech dealers, etc.

-Gathering fundings
This can mean through means of doing mercenary work, assassination, getting a temporary job, blackmailing, etc. (And with supreme caution, piracy. Do not attempt this under any circumstance unless you know that there is no bystanders, or if you are not in house space.)

-Collecting resources.
Find out any reliable link of resource, such as refuelling points, suppliers, places to obtain illegitimate substances such as Cardamine, etc.

-Staying incognito.
Do not let anyone know you are with us. You are effectively reborn as a new person. We do not need trouble, or anyone interfering with our plans, so don’t go looking for trouble.

-Finding anything about the Slomon K’Hara and any alien technology
This is our ultimate. We wish for the best of Humanity. We need to develop as a species if we are to survive the inevitable hostility of the Nomads.

Well, that's the hand out.

Anyway.

The Eidolon won’t stay within the Independant Worlds for long, or at least until we sort out the stockade and the engine upgrade. I feel like the Hellfire can provide some kind of resource to us in Liberty, perhaps we could find out if they’ll cater to our problem by allowing access to their shipyards? Or maybe even the Colonials? Maybe even the Zoners in Baffin might suffice? Unsure. I should take this up with the others.
