Log - 24th January 825.A.S.

Took me a nice while to build this office from nothing and I missed out on a lot of things. My findings are bringing out random information. Nothing too solid or weak. Given the fact that Sirius is always the same surprises me that I got something.

I will start with my main objective, which is collecting info. Lots of info which I will store here. I can earn good information money if I know who to ask and when to do it. I decided to fly out to the Omicrons to see if there is anything worth catching and I found some information that might help me out in the future.

Lets start with that girl Magaera. I noticed that she was talking to a Nomad named Kessereya. It had that atmosphere around her. I was not really close to get a proper view as they were in the cloud, but I managed to get something on the conversation. I need to confirm this by looking at them more closely. I am not exactly sure if the other one is a nomad.

Code:

[23.01.2018 21:05:58] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hah. A man would think that you would die several times before arrivin' here.
[23.01.2018 21:06:16] Aerderic.Aletheus: The same would have to think again....
[23.01.2018 21:06:28] Megaera: Someone is here
[23.01.2018 21:06:45] Kessereya: *As Aletheus approach the entity, they begin to shiver*
[23.01.2018 21:07:02] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hm?
[23.01.2018 21:07:14] Megaera: Were you talking to us?
[23.01.2018 21:08:04] Aerderic.Aletheus: Nah. Talkin' to myself a bit.
[23.01.2018 21:08:12] Aerderic.Aletheus: Was a long fly here.
[23.01.2018 21:08:32] Megaera: Oh. Thought you were saying something to me
[23.01.2018 21:08:43] Aerderic.Aletheus: And if I was?
[23.01.2018 21:08:59] Kessereya: "Thought your words were actually containing some sense."
[23.01.2018 21:09:12] Megaera: Then nothing really, just curious
[23.01.2018 21:09:40] Aerderic.Aletheus: Anything interesting going on in delta?
[23.01.2018 21:09:51] Megaera: not really
[23.01.2018 21:09:55] Kessereya: "There is nothing to see here."
[23.01.2018 21:10:36] Aerderic.Aletheus: Other than torn apart ships, a few nomad vessels dancing around and something breathing down my neck.
[23.01.2018 21:11:06] Megaera: He seems harmless
[23.01.2018 21:11:28] Kessereya: "We shall see."
[23.01.2018 21:11:37] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am not going around to fight.
[23.01.2018 21:11:47] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am a regular detective.
[23.01.2018 21:12:17] Aerderic.Aletheus: Lost someone? I will help you find them, no problem.
[23.01.2018 21:12:28] Aerderic.Aletheus: I do assassinations here and there, but I don't fight in space.
[23.01.2018 21:12:31] Megaera: As I was saying. I do not care about the commune or oracles. Their ideals mean little to me
[23.01.2018 21:13:15] Kessereya: "However, your stance towards my kind is unique and it might become interesting for them."
[23.01.2018 21:13:42] Megaera: Harmony already wants to destroy me
[23.01.2018 21:13:52] Kessereya: "And this is only the beginning."
[23.01.2018 21:13:52] Megaera: Let them try
[23.01.2018 21:14:06] Megaera: It is not easy to kill a goddess
[23.01.2018 21:14:41] Kessereya: "With you wanting to be what you call a goddess, but in my perspective - a usual outcast human being - they will try their best
[23.01.2018 21:14:48] Kessereya: to kill you."
[23.01.2018 21:15:19] Megaera: That is not really a big change
[23.01.2018 21:15:29] Kessereya: "And there is an explonatory to this."
[23.01.2018 21:15:43] Kessereya: "They simply don't accept such paradoxes like you.
[23.01.2018 21:16:06] Kessereya: "Just like in my collective, paradoxes like me are not accepted."
[23.01.2018 21:16:17] Megaera: And that is precisely why I shall survive

I went to the Dutchman to have a beer before leaving for space again. I went around, exploring Delta where I found to Mako type vessels engaging Nomads and the AI. They used interesting weaponry that managed to tear down the hulls of the AI and Nomad cruisers. I believe it was called Hurricane missile. I need to check it out a bit more. The explosion of those missiles is huge and bright. The next time I visit the omicrons. They also told me that someone might have use of my services and might call me soon. I cannot wait what kind of evil deeds will I have to do for money. *chuckle*.

Code:

[23.01.2018 23:09:57] Aerderic.Aletheus: I really don't think you are lost right now...
[23.01.2018 23:10:07] Aerderic.Aletheus: But why are you just standing still?
[23.01.2018 23:10:32] Aerderic.Aletheus: Ignored....
[23.01.2018 23:10:45] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: Who are you even?
[23.01.2018 23:10:49] Venator: Who are you talking too?
[23.01.2018 23:11:09] Aerderic.Aletheus: My name... is Aerderic Aletheus. Detective, Assassin and a little bit of everything.
[23.01.2018 23:11:25] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: I know a couple people who may be interested in your services, then.
[23.01.2018 23:11:40] Aerderic.Aletheus: Please do bear in mind that I don't do space battles.
[23.01.2018 23:11:49] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am even a rescuer.
[23.01.2018 23:12:25] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: They'd still be interested.
[23.01.2018 23:12:44] Aerderic.Aletheus: I set up a Sector Comm yasterday.
[23.01.2018 23:12:51] Aerderic.Aletheus: Everything can be checked there.
[23.01.2018 23:12:51] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: I read it.
[23.01.2018 23:13:36] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hmm... This is rather new to me.
[23.01.2018 23:13:43] Aerderic.Aletheus: A well placed shot can take out a lot of ships at once.
[23.01.2018 23:14:02] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: You don't say.  My gunners just have to lead them a little.
[23.01.2018 23:14:32] Aerderic.Aletheus: You core fellas are much better equipped then I thought.
[23.01.2018 23:14:49] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: That we are, buddy.  Be glad we're on humanity's side.
[23.01.2018 23:17:30] Aerderic.Aletheus: Damn.
[23.01.2018 23:19:06] Aerderic.Aletheus: Any time now.
[23.01.2018 23:23:29] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: That was mildly entertaining.
[23.01.2018 23:23:38] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: Time to abuse some poor innocent mechanics again.
[23.01.2018 23:23:56] Aerderic.Aletheus: Upgraded nomad vessels... It really did take me some time to build that office.
[23.01.2018 23:24:00] Aerderic.Aletheus: Anyways.
[23.01.2018 23:24:05] Aerderic.Aletheus: If anyone needs my services.
[23.01.2018 23:24:08] Aerderic.Aletheus: Please do contact me.
[23.01.2018 23:24:12] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am always up for work.
[23.01.2018 23:24:25] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: Some person styling themself as the Dark Lord might.
[23.01.2018 23:24:44] Aerderic.Aletheus: You want him dead?
[23.01.2018 23:25:04] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: Nah, they'll want to hire you to snatch some people up.
[23.01.2018 23:25:19] Aerderic.Aletheus: Tell them about me.
[23.01.2018 23:25:19] WV-Divine.Right: Ellen: And if they do, I'll ask for the tapes.
[23.01.2018 23:25:35] Aerderic.Aletheus: I /am/ a jack of all trades.

That ended my day pretty much and nothing new happened until I encountered a nomad cruiser today.

Some BDM fella decided to fly around Delta and investigate the nomads. Then an Irra appeared and engaged us both. With lots of fighting and long dodging, the BDM guy got shot down and I was flying around the freeport while the cruiser was shooting at me. I tried to lure it to a planet, but they are not that stupid. I was hoping they were. As I was moving back to the freeport I spotted a Scorpion gunboat, the one that nomads use. It was fully set for a fight and it looks dangerous as they say it is. It started following me as I was returning to the freeport, but it gave up half way. The cruiser went away. Lets not forget about our Zoner friend that decided to go to Omega 7 instead of staying with us.

It would seem that the nomad vessels have somehow changed through the last 6 months. Their overall look changed and their guns are totally different than the old ones. I will try to keep track of this and see if anyone else knows about this.

Code:

[24.01.2018 17:28:13] Aerderic.Aletheus: Military?
[24.01.2018 17:28:19] Aerderic.Aletheus: What the damn are you doing here?
[24.01.2018 17:28:36] BDM|B-22: ?? : What about you?
[24.01.2018 17:29:00] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am a freelancer. I go around, collect info and do a little something for each and every person in Sirius.
[24.01.2018 17:29:10] BDM|B-22: ??: I have better reasons to be here then you have
[24.01.2018 17:29:23] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hmm... You are collecting data on the nomads if I am not mistaken.
[24.01.2018 17:29:36] BDM|B-22: ??: You can say that
[24.01.2018 17:29:46] BDM|B-22: ??: But they are not the only problem here
[24.01.2018 17:29:59] Aerderic.Aletheus: You got their little worshipers too.
[24.01.2018 17:30:29] BDM|B-22: ??: Yes
[24.01.2018 17:30:29] 2018-01-24 17:30:31 SMT  WARNING: A hyperspace breach is being opened by Anne.Cortez
[24.01.2018 17:30:45] Aerderic.Aletheus: Want to see where this goes?
[24.01.2018 17:30:47] Anne.Cortez: hello, guys
[24.01.2018 17:31:06] BDM|B-22: ??: YOu mean this zoner ship?
[24.01.2018 17:31:08] Aerderic.Aletheus: Yea.
[24.01.2018 17:31:12] Anne.Cortez: i jump to Omega 7 .... come?
[24.01.2018 17:31:15] Aerderic.Aletheus: It /is/ jumping somewhere.
[24.01.2018 17:31:28] BDM|B-22: ??: I am not planning to go to Omega-7
[24.01.2018 17:31:41] BDM|B-22: ??: What is your business there?
[24.01.2018 17:31:54] Aerderic.Aletheus: I actually don't believe that there is anything there at all currently.
[24.01.2018 17:32:11] BDM|B-22: ??: You will be surprised
[24.01.2018 17:32:34] Aerderic.Aletheus: Well. If there is a reason for a Zoner Colony ship to be there, I will not argue.
[24.01.2018 17:32:50] BDM|B-22: ??: I don't see a reason
[24.01.2018 17:32:58] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hmm..
[24.01.2018 17:33:04] BDM|B-22: ??: We need your help here
[24.01.2018 17:33:04] Aerderic.Aletheus: I got something jumpy on my scanners.
[24.01.2018 17:33:19] Aerderic.Aletheus: It is big enough to be see.
[24.01.2018 17:33:21] Death: LNS-Columbia was put out of action by The.Basque.Renaissance (Gun).
[24.01.2018 17:33:22] Aerderic.Aletheus: //seen.

[24.01.2018 17:33:33] Anne.Cortez: i have mission
[24.01.2018 17:33:38] Aerderic.Aletheus: Barely visible on the edge of the nebula.
[24.01.2018 17:33:39] BDM|B-22: ??: Too big for us alone to take
[24.01.2018 17:33:50] Anne.Cortez: i back
[24.01.2018 17:33:56] Aerderic.Aletheus: And a bit to agile for that ship.
[24.01.2018 17:33:56] BDM|B-22: ??: This zoner ship can help
[24.01.2018 17:34:12] San'Layn: **'Darklings' bring more ~metal-husks~ to defile 'Ours' Seas of Creation - (anger)**
[24.01.2018 17:34:23] BDM|B-22: ??: If you really care about humanity , you can jump some other time
[24.01.2018 17:34:31] Aerderic.Aletheus: And there she goes.
[24.01.2018 17:34:39] BDM|B-22: ??: There it goes and we are in danger
[24.01.2018 17:35:05] Aerderic.Aletheus: If it wanted to attack it would have been approaching us.
[24.01.2018 17:35:10] Aerderic.Aletheus: I think we will be fine for now.
[24.01.2018 17:35:29] Aerderic.Aletheus: Oh. Looks like it /is/ approaching.
[24.01.2018 17:35:34] BDM|B-22: ??: It is coming this way
[24.01.2018 17:35:46] San'Layn: **'Nomad calmly 'floating through the Void, seemingly uniterested in humans... for now.'**
[24.01.2018 17:36:21] San'Layn: **'Yours' is to embrace 'The Void'~(amusement)~**
[24.01.2018 17:36:43] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am not embracing anything anytime soon, but thanks for the offer!
[24.01.2018 17:37:15] San'Layn: **'Darklings' deny 'Ours' gift of ~enlightement~(anger)~**
[24.01.2018 17:37:24] BDM|B-22: ??: You should run freelancer
[24.01.2018 17:37:35] Aerderic.Aletheus: I will be fine.
[24.01.2018 17:37:41] Aerderic.Aletheus: I am able to dodge.
[24.01.2018 17:38:42] Aerderic.Aletheus: We should be able to take it if we do it toghether.
[24.01.2018 17:38:54] Aerderic.Aletheus: So. You want to hire a freelancer?
[24.01.2018 17:40:04] BDM|B-22: ??: He is tough
[24.01.2018 17:40:22] San'Layn: **~(amusement)~**
[24.01.2018 17:40:30] Aerderic.Aletheus: They can all fall.
[24.01.2018 17:41:14] Aerderic.Aletheus: Alright.
[24.01.2018 17:41:18] Aerderic.Aletheus: It is on!
[24.01.2018 17:44:39] San'Layn: **'Theirs' is to ~embrace~ 'The Void'~(joy)~**
[24.01.2018 17:45:47] Death: BDM|B-22 was put out of action by San'Layn (Gun).
[24.01.2018 17:46:01] San'Layn: **~(joy)~**
[24.01.2018 17:46:20] Aerderic.Aletheus: So much for a spec op.
[24.01.2018 17:47:13] San'Layn: **'Yours' is to embrace ~The Void~(amusement)~ 'Yours' [metal-husk] is to 'perish'~(joy)~**
[24.01.2018 17:48:15] Aerderic.Aletheus: Annoying.
[24.01.2018 17:51:06] Aerderic.Aletheus: Come on then!
[24.01.2018 17:51:21] Aerderic.Aletheus: Since you are so eager to kill me.
[24.01.2018 17:51:31] Aerderic.Aletheus: Wait.
[24.01.2018 17:51:35] Aerderic.Aletheus: You are giving up?
[24.01.2018 17:51:38] Aerderic.Aletheus: What?
[24.01.2018 17:51:51] Aerderic.Aletheus: Did not think you were THAT pathetic.
[24.01.2018 17:52:04] Aerderic.Aletheus: Pleasure doing business with you!
[24.01.2018 17:52:11] Aerderic.Aletheus: And remember the name!
[24.01.2018 17:52:20] Aerderic.Aletheus: Aerderic Aletheus!
[24.01.2018 17:58:35] Aerderic.Aletheus: Hm?
[24.01.2018 18:00:45] Aerderic.Aletheus: Ah. A gunboat class.
[24.01.2018 18:01:12] Aerderic.Aletheus: And not just any gunboat.
[24.01.2018 18:01:36] Aerderic.Aletheus: That is pure nomad tech that I see.
[24.01.2018 18:01:58] Aerderic.Aletheus: I got the info.
[24.01.2018 18:02:03] Aerderic.Aletheus: Might be usefull.
[24.01.2018 18:02:06] Aerderic.Aletheus: Goodbye.

After all that, it was time to go back to Liberty where on my way I found a Bowex ship going with Black Market Guns to Delta or wherever. This might be rather important to the right person. I will keep this with me.
