COMM ID:Commander Richard Burns TARGET ID: Liberty Navy First Fleet HC ENCRYPTION:High
Good day,
With the news of Rheinland declaring war on the Gas Miners Guild, Archangel and I went to the Sigmas a few days ago to gather any intel we could. We questioned a GMG pilot, a Golden Chrysanthеmum, and an ALG pilot. The full transmission log will be attached below.
Today, I went out alone into Sigma-13 to investigate the Frankfurt jumpgate. The ship's computer returned an error when I attempted to initiate the docking procedure and it was automatically aborted. There appears to be no structural damage to the jumpgate, however the dense nebula made it difficult to visually assess. My findings will be attached below.
Attachment/s:
[03.11.2017 01:37:58]GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Few moments ago we weren't under the supressive fire from two gunships - Rheinlandic Odin and Kruger one.
[03.11.2017 01:38:16] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Konnichiwa, agents.
[03.11.2017 01:38:31] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Good day.
[03.11.2017 01:38:45] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: It's strange to see Liberty Navy so fat from the Republic.
[03.11.2017 01:38:49] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Seems we found something afterall.
[03.11.2017 01:39:20] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Indeed. A strange sight for sure
[03.11.2017 01:39:23] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: And what did you find?
[03.11.2017 01:39:36] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Actually, your government could inform us about you.
[03.11.2017 01:39:47] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: From what it looks like two ships that aren't killing each other like I'd expect.
[03.11.2017 01:40:25] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Oh, parlay is still a thing. I don't need to shoot if I don't want to.
[03.11.2017 01:41:02] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: We were having a nice talk before bloody killing each-other, yes? *She smiles and winks*
[03.11.2017 01:41:05] JM|-Arumas: Uhhhhh.
[03.11.2017 01:41:17] GC|Kiko.Nakano: I have a flare for the dramatic, what can I say? *smiles*
[03.11.2017 01:41:46] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: So, what are you doing here, soldiers? That's not Republic's zone of influence after all.
[03.11.2017 01:42:02] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Keep going, Marauder. You didn't see us, got it?
[03.11.2017 01:42:24] JM|-Arumas: I'm pretty sure I do, unfortunately.
[03.11.2017 01:42:31] JM|-Arumas: I will keep going though.
[03.11.2017 01:42:43] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: I don't see anything in this nebula. It could be an illusion.
[03.11.2017 01:42:50] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Operatives. Not soldiers. Those ground grunts can't fly a spacecraft to the coffee shop.
[03.11.2017 01:43:27] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: So, I guessed right. But don't you have Liberty Security Forces for this kind of job?
[03.11.2017 01:44:24] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: I'm confident the spooks have something better to do than look at clouds.
[03.11.2017 01:44:43] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: And it seems, that I know the reason of your appearing.
[03.11.2017 01:45:50] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: I'm sure all of Sirius could figure that out, with the news and whatnot.
[03.11.2017 01:46:26] GC|Kiko.Nakano: I assumed Liberty would be interested in finding out what happened, no surprise there.
[03.11.2017 01:46:27] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Hey that's right, Archangel. For a second I had no idea what he was talking about.
[03.11.2017 01:47:09] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: She. I'm the Guildmistress.
[03.11.2017 01:47:33] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: It's pretty rude from your side, but well. I guess, that you want to ask some questions?
[03.11.2017 01:47:45] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Many.
[03.11.2017 01:47:54] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Indeed *slurps tea*
[03.11.2017 01:48:31] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Since the Republic is one of the largest Guild's client and we are interested in help to you, I can answer on them.
[03.11.2017 01:49:08] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Exactly the reason we're here. Can you give us information regarding the explosion of the jumpgate?
[03.11.2017 01:49:12] GC|Kiko.Nakano: I enjoy a good yarn before a fight with a Guildmistress, so I'll hang around until you're done
[03.11.2017 01:49:21] GC|Kiko.Nakano: *sips tea*
[03.11.2017 01:49:55] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: That's pretty obvious question, but I answered on it in our statement.
[03.11.2017 01:50:08] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: We didn't do it.
[03.11.2017 01:50:34] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Then I assume Rhienland did, in their own GMG ship, with their own GMG transponders.
[03.11.2017 01:50:54] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: It can be a third party, which is interested in this war.
[03.11.2017 01:51:20] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Who benefits from Rheinland's expansion but Rheinland?
[03.11.2017 01:51:24] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: We've recorded several stolen or missed in action ships.
[03.11.2017 01:51:33] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Right. Any of these "third parties" that would be notable?
[03.11.2017 01:52:18] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: I've heard several rumors about "Wilde" group and nomads, but nothing else.
[03.11.2017 01:52:39] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: I guess, that you can give me more information about it.
[03.11.2017 01:53:03] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Bit silly of us to ask if we already ahd the answers, isn't it?
[03.11.2017 01:53:05] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Who knows, it could have even been these matriarch fanatics.
[03.11.2017 01:53:30] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Not really our style, but flattered *grins*
[03.11.2017 01:53:36] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Just look at the whole situation. Rheinland is interested in expansion, but it would never attack own station. We aren't-
[03.11.2017 01:53:52] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: We aren't interested in this war at all, since it has only loses.
[03.11.2017 01:54:01] [ALG]-V.4: Hm, well this is unusual.
[03.11.2017 01:54:15] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: I don't see any waste here, what about you, Archangel?
[03.11.2017 01:54:34] [ALG]-V.4: We generally don't collect waste in Wraiths.
[03.11.2017 01:54:34] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Konnichiwa, ALG. Are you lost?
[03.11.2017 01:54:45] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: I see plenty of waste. Looking at some right now.
[03.11.2017 01:54:49] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Touche.
[03.11.2017 01:55:05] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: I doubt, that it's the right place for you now.
[03.11.2017 01:55:09] [ALG]-V.4: I think very few people in the Sigmas these days are lost. Those who are here likely have a purpose.
[03.11.2017 01:55:27] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Wandering is sometimes purpose enough.
[03.11.2017 01:55:53] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Perhaps that is why the debris removal is here. Could have been attracted by the smell of one of us.
[03.11.2017 01:56:12] [ALG]-V.4: We are moving Division V assets -like this fighter- from the Omicrons to the Sigmas. Seems like it might become necessary.
[03.11.2017 01:56:34] [ALG]-V.4: We can't assist the Guild against the Federal forces, obviously, but we can assist against the Unioners and the Core.
[03.11.2017 01:56:39] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Since when did a waste disposal company need a fighter wing in the Sigmas
[03.11.2017 01:57:13] [ALG]-V.4: Oh, I'm not from the local fighter wing. That would be Epsilon squadron, in Frankfurt.
[03.11.2017 01:57:18] [ALG]-V.4: Division V is more flexible.
[03.11.2017 01:57:39] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Wetworks, then. Makes less sense than before.
[03.11.2017 01:57:59] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Since when Liberty Navy wing allows to itself to enter the border of the Guild without any warnings from official side?
[03.11.2017 01:58:23] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Since the Gas Miners Guild entered a war with the entire House of Rhienland.
[03.11.2017 01:58:35] [ALG]-V.4: Not the entire house. Not us.
[03.11.2017 01:59:22] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: We have nothing against agents, trying to find out the truth about Fulda event, but we don't enjoy the fact, that you-
[03.11.2017 01:59:35] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: You appeared here without any notification.
[03.11.2017 01:59:50] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: We'll be sure to send our message with a handbasket next time.
[03.11.2017 02:00:01] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: Although it's worth noting that knocking on someone's door can make the rest of the guests run away.
[03.11.2017 02:01:37] [LN]-ESRD|Phantom: *sigh*
[03.11.2017 02:01:46] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Anyway, you are here, anyway. As I've mentoined already, the Guild didn't start this war and didn't explode the Fulda.
[03.11.2017 02:01:50] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Is that all?
[03.11.2017 02:02:09] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: So, the Guild claims to not have started this war, but it was a Guild ship that fired this... device.
[03.11.2017 02:02:42] [ALG]-V.4: I hope you appreciate the irony of this Rheinland ship using GMG weaponry.
[03.11.2017 02:02:59] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: These ships were missed in action, lost or stolen, as I've said. That's not such a bid deal to stole someone's ship.
[03.11.2017 02:03:01] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: This device seems unconventional from the amount of damage it did, but it was too... unrefined for any organized group.
[03.11.2017 02:03:56] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: I've, actually, seen a pirate with one of your gunboats some time ago.
[03.11.2017 02:04:30] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Doubtful. Common pirates do not just steal a Type-19
[03.11.2017 02:05:18] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: The pirate here seems awfully quiet.
[03.11.2017 02:05:30] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Doubtful as well, as the Guild ships attacking Rheinland and exploding stations.
[03.11.2017 02:05:44] GC|Kiko.Nakano: You gentleman seem to be asking all the right questions, I don't want to step on your toes.
[03.11.2017 02:06:16] GC|Kiko.Nakano: We've...softened our stance in recent years. I don't shoot unless there's a clear purpose
[03.11.2017 02:06:27] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Moreover, we were trying to stop this war and were ready to work with governments to find out the truth.
[03.11.2017 02:06:44] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: It's sad, that only the Republic of Kusari contacted with us.
[03.11.2017 02:06:48] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: That seems to be working out for the Guild.
[03.11.2017 02:07:07] GC|Kiko.Nakano: We're interested in the cause of this war, too. Distractions for Kusari's navy and the GMG change our..calculus
[03.11.2017 02:07:41] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: You mean, more unprotected traders.
[03.11.2017 02:07:50] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: Why do you think, that we, actually, want this war to happen?
[03.11.2017 02:07:57] [ALG]-V.4: Obviously the Guild had nothing to do with the attack. The most obvious assumption is that the Republic pulled a false flag.
[03.11.2017 02:08:12] [ALG]-V.4: But even if not, they seized the opportunity.
[03.11.2017 02:08:26] GC|Kiko.Nakano: Funding from poor traders is such a...crude way to fund a movement. I won't deny it happens, but I haven't shot at a non-Samura
[03.11.2017 02:08:27] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: I can't see any benefits from current events for our side.
[03.11.2017 02:08:28] GC|Kiko.Nakano: transport in years
[03.11.2017 02:08:44] GC|Kiko.Nakano: If I was interested in traders, I'd be in Kusari right now. *smiles*
[03.11.2017 02:09:06] [ALG]-V.4: There are no doubt elements in the government that have been waiting for such an opportunity for years, decades.
[03.11.2017 02:09:38] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Right... and Rhienland military movements have been rapid?
[03.11.2017 02:09:49] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: One more point is that we never were contacted by Rheinland Government, BDM, MND or other groups.
[03.11.2017 02:10:14] [ALG]-V.4: You saw how they responded to the Omicron crisis. They were already moving assets when the Bundestag was still denying-
[03.11.2017 02:10:16] [ALG]-V.4: any involvement.
[03.11.2017 02:10:29] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Move out of the area silently.
[03.11.2017 02:10:30] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: And look at The Core reaction.
[03.11.2017 02:10:35] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Wait until you're out of scanner range.
[03.11.2017 02:10:43] [ALG]-V.4: Well....the Core are to be exterminated. Simple as that.
[03.11.2017 02:11:11] GMG|Hotaru.Mori: H: When war even wasn't declared yet by Rheinland, they've already done it.
[03.11.2017 02:11:25] [LN]-ESRD|Archangel: Yes, that much is obvious.
