To: Oberkommando From: Oberstarbeiter Mary Annelise Dross, Nightcrawler der Alster Union. Subject: Trust needs to be earned.
As ordered, I talked to Luciano Vasquez from the Brotherhood and Lanzo.O.Walker from the Apostatas.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Detecting ship nearby
UN|Abomination: Mary: *Nods* Walker.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: Luciano: Si, there is something else to the nebula- it is /incredibly/ dangerous
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Indeed, My ship is incapable of penetrating this heavy a radiation.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Catastrophic damage in less than two minutes.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Should I say, I told you so?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: But for the sake of Loyalty, I must try and find a way inside.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well Luciano, nice to meet you . And Iit may be dangerous but its safe
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Hull integrity failing fast.
[ La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Dangerous but safe, thats not something I hear too often
UN|Abomination: Mary: If it ist dangerous it isnt fun.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Then you have a strange sense of fun indeed, senorita
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Ah Miss Dross, I do believe I owe you the pleasure.
UN|Abomination: Mary: First of all, I have to thanks you for showing up, specially you Luciano. I know you time is rare.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Fun is relative in my books, Sun diving was considered a sport back in omega 11.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Jokes aside, I am honored to have you both here and to commence this meeting.
UN|Abomination: Mary: But I brought us all here, to discuss the situation.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Rheinland Military, tries to get foots on Xi.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We all know that. And I passed a freaking Turtle when I moved here from Munich.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Your information is indeed correct. Althought an incursion from the south is also imminent.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Si, they are pushing into the system at an alarming rate
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The general consenses is that the Rheinland Military will impact Omicron Xi in less than a few solars.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Since Munich is one of our home's. We can not only kill their supply routes. We can be the knife in the back of RM.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: That sounds good for both us
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A pincer manoveur you suggest Miss Dross?
UN|Abomination: Mary: So Luciano, I'm offering you help against RM and, only if you want, exchange of Ships and equipment.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Ecxatly if they are busy with you we will rape them from behind and exterminate all of them.
UN|Grafenau: Horst: Oh, we've got a great big convoy, ain't it a beautiful sight?
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Si, a pincer movement sounds good indeed.
UN|Grafenau: Horst: Because We've got a mighty convoy, cruisin' through the night
UN|Grafenau: Horst: C O N V O Y
UN|Abomination: Mary: But for that the information flow needs to be on time and we need the best ships and equipment we can possibly have.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: San Zu's art of war, now I am truly honoured Miss Dross..
UN|Grafenau: Horst: Crash the gate doin' Three fifty eight..
UN|Abomination: Mary: Here speaks Obertsarbeiter Mary Dross, Shut the hell up Arbeiter !
UN|Grafenau: Horst: No battleship can stop our Convoy!
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I presume the supplies sent by the Apostatas to Pacifica came to good use Miss Dross?
UN|Abomination: Mary: Yes they did.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Luciano, what do you think ? A Cruiser or two from us for your Brotherhood ?
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Well, as I'm sure you know, we don't share our ships or technology lightly...
UN|Abomination: Mary: And maybe... if we find another one to repair it from scrap. A Bismarck someday ?
UN|Abomination: Mary: The faces of the Rheinland Military facing one of their Turtles *laughs*.
[03.02.2018 18:25:18] ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Miss Dross, the situation in Bering requires the Unioners to possess more anti-capital weaponry.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: However, we do have- A bismark? Hmm... That would take up considerable resources and manpower...
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I speak from a personal encounter with your soldiers on the field.
UN|Abomination: // Walker. let me do one after another sry, cant do multi talk ^^
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well we have almost all resources to build them ourselves.
UN|Abomination: Mary: And I think there can help us the Apostatas.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Their Supply for your Bismarck ? If you want and you don't have a problem with that we can also provide the Crew.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Although for any repairs or modification, we'd need the plans for the ship
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: otherwise our engineers would be just stumbling around,blind
UN|Abomination: Mary: Hm, indeed. But that is a other thing. I could bring our engineers to Tripoly.
UN|Abomination: Mary: But that can only happen if we have the abilitly to build one.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: That could work... If we find the space for their project
UN|Abomination: Mary: And I didnt saw any other wrecks around.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So Mr. Walker, now to you.
UN|Abomination: Mary: YOu know what you have to do. Earn my trust.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Tell me how do you think you can manage that.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Here me out for a second.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: About the turtle problem you have, I would suggest disabling an existing turtle insted of looking for a wreck.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The mission would be dangerous but nothing good ever comes without difficulties.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well the "Schwerin" would be nice.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: That would solve a lot of our current issues with their advance...,
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: As a personal witness to the capabilities of your rogue squdron, a bombing run of the ship's shield generator
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: followed by torpedoes to the thrusters will leave it vulnerable for boarding action.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: But if you destroy the thrusters, how is it going to get to Tripoli?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A tug.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Harpoon cables shot to the forward orifice of the ship connected to a legate should suffice.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Space is a friction-less plane sir.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Or we bring it to our Shipyard. Would be easier I think.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Indeed Mam, but how do you plan to board a moving ship?
UN|Abomination: Mary: And as soon it is repaired I will personally deliver it to you Luciano, with a little present. *winks*
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: I look forward to that then, senorita
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: You would be sending your troops to a potential doom as hitting the wrong part of the ship with boarding pods will be-
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Catastrophic at best.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: But then again, that is simply my opnion of the matter.
UN|Abomination: Mary: My nightcrawlers are the best trained fighters and they would praise me if I send them to a suicide mission.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: It seems they share your sense of fun, I take it?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: No offence Mam but i rather see them return from said mission. Troops, specially loyal ones are hard to come by.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Not for us.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: You of all people must understand this.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We just have got more of them since the LWB lost their stations.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: So, the rumors are true?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Do you trust them already? The LWD reprobation was quite recent.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Yes.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We trusted them always. We are Workes they were Farmes. The same stand of hard working people.
UN|Abomination: Mary: That got abandond by the Bundestag.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I assume you would never question their loyalty either then Miss Dross?
UN|Abomination: Mary: I do always question loyality. That's why I'm still alive.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: People will change Miss Dross. The LWB had a cause and now, they share yours.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: And I dont think its no secret we've had our share of hostilities with them. How will the react to working with us, now?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: My opnions on the Unioners havent changed at all Miss Dross.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I believe our relationship as organisations must strive once more in all it's glory.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well if they still show any hostility towards you. Kill them I will do the same, cause then they betraid us both.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: *nods* Sounds like a plan
Death: Michael.Ellis was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Madam, You must understand. They are no threat to you now and forever.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Our real enemy gathers their forces in the borders of Xi.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: An attack is imminemt from Cayman as well. The outcasts have been very quiet as well which is never a good sign.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Walker *sighs*, let me be clear if I have to I will kill the Arbeitsdirektor myself, if he tries to ram the Unioners ...
UN|Abomination: Mary: against a wall.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I believe if we are to survive this, we must stand together.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We will stand together and even further than that if you ask me.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The Unioners UN|,The BrotherHood TBH| and us, the Apostatas ApS|
UN|Abomination: Mary: So Walker, listen to me.
UN|Abomination: Mary: You get acces to our Stations in Munich and Frankfurt. For what ever you can imagine.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I am here for your trust Miss Dross.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The stations are more materialistic. This is what solidifies our stand.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I know and you will have the time to earn it after our smalltalk here.
UN|Abomination: Mary: If you survive, you have my trust.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We can increase our buisness a lot. Not only with the smuggling routes.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So tell me Walker, what are the Apostatas willing to do ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: To a degree, I do trust the Unioners. Armin Jansen had me convinced. Hence my confidence in you not shooting me-
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo : Miss Dross *smiles
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Confident enough to come here unarmed.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Whta isnt a good idea.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Thats a stupid risk, hermano
UN|Abomination: Mary: even I went here armed, if Rm shows up .
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A risk one must take to ensure trust.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: A good sign, si si, but we have far to many enemies to be flying around unarmed
UN|Abomination: Mary: that doesnt shows any trust.
UN|Abomination: Mary: That shows stupidity.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: To each his own Miss Dross.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: As for what the ApS| are willing, that entirely depends on what you expect from us.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Willingness is semi-permeable. A request must be made to show any form of action.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A rection will be swift, that is assured.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well I didnt heard any rumors about the Apostatas before I got the Order to stay in contact with you.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So tell me, why did you step up next to the Brotherhood ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: How much do you believe in rumours Miss Dross?
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well they are nice to know.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Personally, I prefer cold hard facts.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I'm listening
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: You must ask the right question Miss Dross.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: //we learnt off the event on forums. No forum rp was made to ensure this fact.
UN|Abomination: Mary: The right question? I'm not here to play political Games!
UN|Abomination: Mary: You talk about facts and now I have to question you ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Who said anything about politics? I was merely making a statement Miss Dross.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Senorita, hermano, my apologies, but there seems to be an Issue at Tinos outpost
UN|Abomination: Mary: Than do one. Tel me what your plans are . Thee must be a reason why you didnt just wok with the Brotherhood.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: And not one that can wait for us to finished
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: How much time do you have Miss Dross?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: This will take a while.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well then Luciano, we will meet again. I will contact you.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Enough
UN|Abomination: Mary: I'm here to talk with you I brought enough time.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: I'll keep an eye on the comms then.
La.Sevilla[TBH]: L: Adios amigos, stay strong out there
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: To simply put it, the Apostatas is a faction of families that wishes to advance our people. We work to improve the-
UN|Abomination: mary: You too.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: People of the corsair empire and to help expand our borders.
UN|Abomination: Mary: In wich way ? With brutal force ?
[03.02.2018 19:01:54] ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Our secondary objective is to increase our fleet capacity and generate profits to fund said manoveure.
[03.02.2018 19:02:27] ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Brutal force? I believe that is not the case here.
[03.02.2018 19:02:59] UN|Abomination: Mary: So how you want to increase the Corsair Empire without force ?
[03.02.2018 19:03:10] ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Credits miss dross, Credits. We target the finance of our great empire to increase its influx.
[03.02.2018 19:03:44] ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Very simply put, we seek to mordernise our current system which is currently precarious.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So you want to get your hands on better tech ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Excellent observation Miss Dross.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Like what ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Let me as you one simple question Miss Dross
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: What is my ship made from? *smiles
UN|Abomination: Mary: *sighs* Walker ...
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Scrap.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A premium variety at that.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Do you see the problem here Miss Dross?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Our enemies are miles ahead in the tech chart.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well I personally would do everything to get my hands on a Legate.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well not directly.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo : Well said and there, you have reached the point of my statement.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So you want to get better raw materials.
UN|Abomination: Mary: That is where we step in.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Corsair engineers have build the deadly legate from junk Miss Dross.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Imagine what we could achieve with refined ores.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: There is a pool of untapped intelligence on crete miss Dross
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo : And i seek to let it free.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Yes, my good lady. That is indeed where you come in.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: You represent one of the financial backbones of our current economy.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well we aren't DHC or Kruger. We can control their Fields, but we don't have Miners for Allu ore as an example.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We can get our hands on Military Salvages and Premium Scrap. that's it.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Leave that to us Miss Dross. Our engineers are busy reverse engineering tech salvaged by the junkers from all around-
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Sirius.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanso: The possibility of mining capable ships is within our horizon.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The artifact industry however is in your hands.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: All I ask is your undying support.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: To ensure a better future for my bretheren and your people.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Support by delivering , what ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Support the artifact industry and nurture it. If possible, help us with any form of tech or salvage.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Any development on our side is only a benifit to the Unioners as well.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Finally, I only ask that we learn to trust each other.
UN|Abomination: Mary: We already support the artifact industry. remember that Convoy from us ?
UN|Abomination: Mary: You can earn trust with dead Rheinlanders and Bunschuhs
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Ofcourse Miss Dross. The convoy was a success and I hope to see more flowing in.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Dead Rheinland Militarys.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: *sigh Time is the ultimate judge.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Just be clear with your demands, what do you want? Transports ? Other Equipment ? More Unioners that smuggle ?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: 1) Transports to smuggle and ensure the continued growth of the artifact industry.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: 2) Salvaged and unknown tech/equiptment delivered to us for reverse engineering.
UN|Abomination: Mary: About the Transports.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: 3) The growth of the relationship between our organisations.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I personally would prefer the Essedarius, but If you want the Uruz, that is manageable.
UN|Abomination: Mary: about Unkown tech, I don't know how we can get our hands on that.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I mean you are closer to Order and Core then we are. And also to the Nomads.
UN|Abomination: Mary: And I personally can't risk my life in the Omicrons. Even the Zoners would try to kill me.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Let me explain, The transports are primarily for the movement of salvage and equiptment and to further grow the -
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Artifact Industry.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Walker, I can imagine for what Transports are. But I need to know wich ones you want.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Secondly, by unknow tech, I dont mean Nomad weaponry as that is too much to ask of you.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: To simplify, any salvage that appears to be different from the usual scrap is unknown tech.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Why didn't you said that first .
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The essedarius is a good option.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Am i to assume you've heard of pink aliens?
UN|Abomination: Mary: You mean the "Nomads" , that is what they are called.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The nomads are beyond both our organizations currently and are out of the equation entirely.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Well like I said prem. Scrap and Military Salvages are the only thing we can provide in a unlimited amount.
UN|Abomination: Mary: But if you tell me exactly what you need. I try to get my hands on it.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: For now, the premium scrap should do. I'll keep you posted on what we require apart from that
UN|Abomination: Mary: Good and about the trust.
UN|Abomination: Mary: If you show us that your "Familys" are capable to fight. For example a few wrecked Miliatry Fighters, I will trust you.
UN|Abomination: Mary: And with me all Reichsarbeiter
UN|Abomination: Mary: We are workers, we build up on a trail of Blood.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: In the end, it comes down to the skill of our pilots.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Yes.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I can't protect flying targets that can't defend themselves sometimes.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: An economically aligned request is more apt but alright, as you wish.
UN|Abomination: Mary: You want to know how, so that is the only way.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Oh I know, I know. You're communique earlier today gave me such thoughts.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: So be it.
UN|Abomination: Mary: But to do that, you need to be able to repair and refill yourself. So you can use our Stations in Munich and Frankfurt.
UN|Abomination: Mary: That will be the only help, for you to earn our trust.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: *stands up from seat and looks towards the medium green planet.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: We accept.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I will sent you the docking codes and positions, later.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Beautiful system no doubt, would'nt you agree miss?
UN|Abomination: *She gets serious* Mary: If you can't even blow up a few Rheinland Militarys.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Did i explicitally say that miss?
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: I accept your trial of valor.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: You will have the heads you so desire.
UN|Abomination: Mary: *She smiles* That is what I want to hear from a Corsair.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: A corsair I truly am.
UN|Abomination: Mary: I hope you know who are our enemys. Cause if you bundle up with them for profit.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Any buisness with the Apostatas, will end deadly.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Would you state a few names I should be aware of?
UN|Abomination: Mary: I will put that in the comm with the docking codes and locations.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Then I await your communique.
UN|Abomination: Mary: Verdammt nochmal, I really hate talking without the use of my weapons. But it was kinda nice.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: The pleasure was all mine Miss Dross.
UN|Abomination: Mary: So back to killing everyone in my path. We will met again.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Perphas we can reiterate San Zu's art of warfare soon
UN|Abomination: Mary: I hope so.
ApS|Lanzo.O.Walker: Lanzo: Safe flight miss Dross.
