Earlier today I was stopped by a pilot giving off a freelancer IFF. needless to say it was a bit usual however it turn out to be a Gaul known as Claire Delune spreading news of impending doom and suggesting we attempt to convince the Bretonian Government to surrender to saves lives. Luckily a member of the Independent Miners Guild showed up and vouched that I was not the hopeless crown puppet I was accused of being and probably saved my life.
While attempting to barter for my life I gave my word that I would pass on this message on to my superiors. so here is the logs do with them what you wish.
[28.03.2019 22:25:01] Calamity: Bonjour.
[28.03.2019 22:25:07] Calamity: Hold it please.
[28.03.2019 22:25:50] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Oh, good dau
[28.03.2019 22:25:51] Calamity: Now again, hold it.
[28.03.2019 22:25:52] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: day
[28.03.2019 22:25:59] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Again?
[28.03.2019 22:26:01] Calamity: Bonjour, Bretonian...
[28.03.2019 22:26:07] Calamity: Qui.
[28.03.2019 22:26:08] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: You've only just shown on my scanners
[28.03.2019 22:26:28] Calamity: That's because we gallics do not live in the stone ages.
[28.03.2019 22:26:44] Calamity: Now let me see, Cobalt, eh?
[28.03.2019 22:26:53] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: It seems so
[28.03.2019 22:26:58] Calamity: Where is it going to?
[28.03.2019 22:27:04] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Gaul?
[28.03.2019 22:27:17] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Very unusual tech you're using
[28.03.2019 22:27:26] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: The last one I met was very friendly
[28.03.2019 22:27:28] Calamity: I agree. But it does the job.
[28.03.2019 22:27:41] Calamity: Friendly? To a Bretonian?
[28.03.2019 22:27:42] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: we bonded over laughing at the BMM
[28.03.2019 22:27:53] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Bretonian yes
[28.03.2019 22:27:53] Calamity: Hm. Those guys are indeed funny.
[28.03.2019 22:28:07] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: But we are not part of the Bretonian Crown
[28.03.2019 22:28:16] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Just a civilian company
[28.03.2019 22:28:21] Calamity: Not of the Crown, but you cooperate with them.
[28.03.2019 22:28:32] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Surely you understand we cannot be blamed for the Crowns warmongering
[28.03.2019 22:28:35] Calamity: Anyone who helps them deserves the death.
[28.03.2019 22:28:45] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Support them? Hah
[28.03.2019 22:28:50] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Where have you been
[28.03.2019 22:28:55] Calamity: Oh yeah? But you can be blamed for them not having surrendered yet.
[28.03.2019 22:29:02] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: They attacked our closest ally!
[28.03.2019 22:29:09] Calamity: And what did you do?
[28.03.2019 22:29:20] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: We continued to support the miners
[28.03.2019 22:29:25] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: like any good ally
[28.03.2019 22:29:37] Calamity: I did not see any of your guys fighting the Bretonians.
[28.03.2019 22:29:45] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: We are not fighters
[28.03.2019 22:29:50] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: As you can see from my ship
[28.03.2019 22:29:50] Calamity: I was there. I fought. And you?
[28.03.2019 22:30:01] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: We are simple traders
[28.03.2019 22:30:01] Calamity: Neither is the ALG. But they took it seriously.
[28.03.2019 22:30:28] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: ALG is a mega corp, Gateway is much smaller
[28.03.2019 22:30:35] Calamity: Whatever.
[28.03.2019 22:30:42] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: we are building a vast extension of connections
[28.03.2019 22:30:45] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: but alas
[28.03.2019 22:30:49] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: we are not quite there
[28.03.2019 22:30:53] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Anyway
[28.03.2019 22:30:54] Calamity: You are not really trying to tell me you never had business with the Bretonians...
[28.03.2019 22:31:12] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I see you are trying to get me to say we are supporting the bretonian war effort
[28.03.2019 22:31:22] Calamity: I'd like to hear that, qui.
[28.03.2019 22:31:32] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Well you won't get it
[28.03.2019 22:31:44] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I cannot speak for all of gateway
[28.03.2019 22:31:44] Calamity: Are you supporting Gallia in any way?
[28.03.2019 22:32:01] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: But I have avoided getting myself involved
[28.03.2019 22:32:09] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: it does not pay to back the losing side
[28.03.2019 22:32:25] Calamity: Right. But did you invest in the winning side yet?
[28.03.2019 22:32:43] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Well, I suppose you could say I kept my mouth shut when I encounted your comraids in New London recently
[28.03.2019 22:32:47] Calamity: Because I cannot tolerated making business in crown territory without supporting them.
[28.03.2019 22:32:55] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: If you count that as support
[28.03.2019 22:32:59] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I suppose I have
[28.03.2019 22:33:16] Calamity: Passive support... That's what all weaklings do.
[28.03.2019 22:33:33] IMG|Defiant: Oh joy a pirate.
[28.03.2019 22:33:34] Calamity: Hmm, now the guild?
[28.03.2019 22:33:38] Calamity: Bonjour.
[28.03.2019 22:33:42] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Ah hello friend
[28.03.2019 22:33:50] Calamity: Guildsmen.
[28.03.2019 22:33:53] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: It seems we have a Gallic visitor
[28.03.2019 22:34:06] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I have tried telling him we have no love for the crown
[28.03.2019 22:34:11] Calamity: I am currently trying to find out if this person is supportive to our crown.
[28.03.2019 22:34:23] IMG|Defiant: *Raises eyebrow*
[28.03.2019 22:34:30] Calamity: I'd like to hear your opinion about Gateway.
[28.03.2019 22:34:43] Calamity: That might save, or burn his pod.
[28.03.2019 22:34:49] Calamity: Choose your words carefully.
[28.03.2019 22:34:52] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: As I'm sure the guildsman will attest we offered supplies throughout the seige
[28.03.2019 22:35:10] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: But I won't put words in their mouth
[28.03.2019 22:35:13] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I trust the Guild
[28.03.2019 22:35:22] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: go ahead speak your mind
[28.03.2019 22:35:34] IMG|Defiant: *nods* Gateway is not one of Crowns lap dogs.
[28.03.2019 22:35:35] Calamity: Qui. I'd like to hear the guildsman in person.
[28.03.2019 22:35:49] Calamity: But are they supportive to the Gallic cause?
[28.03.2019 22:36:11] Calamity: Or will they resist when we crush their Kingdom?
[28.03.2019 22:36:41] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: If you allow us to continue under gallic rule I am sure we will not resist
[28.03.2019 22:36:44] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: in fact
[28.03.2019 22:36:55] IMG|Defiant: *shrugs* I've been dodging Corsairs in the Omegas along with the Crown.
[28.03.2019 22:36:59] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I'd offer my services as an intermediary in the negotiations
[28.03.2019 22:37:10] Calamity: Hmm...
[28.03.2019 22:37:34] Calamity: Gateway captain. I hope you are aware that your people are being burned alive on Leeds?
[28.03.2019 22:37:56] Calamity: The people of Bretonia have the power to stop this suffering.
[28.03.2019 22:38:20] Calamity: Use whatever voice you have in the Bretonian government.
[28.03.2019 22:38:21] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: The Admirals will not listen to a simple trader
[28.03.2019 22:38:35] Calamity: Make them surrender. Let the cruelty stop.
[28.03.2019 22:38:51] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: But I could voice your words to my superiors
[28.03.2019 22:39:00] Calamity: One can't do much. But if you gather enough people, your voice will become louder.
[28.03.2019 22:39:10] Calamity: I'd very much like that.
[28.03.2019 22:39:44] Calamity: There are horrible things happening out there. It is in your power to stop it.
[28.03.2019 22:40:00] Calamity: If you do me this favor, you've earned my trust.
[28.03.2019 22:40:08] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Very well, The name is Evison, Samuel Evison. I will say what has been said here
[28.03.2019 22:40:13] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: but should there be more to add
[28.03.2019 22:40:20] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Contact me via the net
[28.03.2019 22:40:26] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: I'm easy to find
[28.03.2019 22:40:26] Calamity: Claire Delune. Pleased to meet you.
[28.03.2019 22:40:40] Calamity: Allright. But that is all I have to say for now.
[28.03.2019 22:40:44] Calamity: Merci for listening.
[28.03.2019 22:40:52] Calamity: Feel free to carry on your way.
[28.03.2019 22:40:58] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Very well, have a good journey
[28.03.2019 22:41:05] Calamity: You too. Au revoir.
[28.03.2019 22:41:53] IMG|Defiant: *waves*
[28.03.2019 22:41:58] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Well that was a close one
[28.03.2019 22:42:02] Gateway|-GSV-Mercury: Thought I was a goner
