Comm ID:Meinrad Graner, Bator Exitus Provist Detachment 32 Overview:Project Initialisation
At 19:39 SST, the Bustard class merchantman vessel [NAME ARCHIVED] entered the Bering system under the command of interim Captain Darius Vair. Vair and his crew then proceeded to set course for Pacifica and it was reported that the journey from system Jumpgate to drydock was uneventful. Upon nearing Pacifica the [NAME ARCHIVED] was hailed by a Unioner vessel 'Drachen'. The pilot of said vessel identified herself as a "Doktor Valentina Margarethe Angelika Katrin von Depperschmidt the third". She insisted on Val for shorthand.
A brief conversation between her and Merchant Captain Vair ensued in which a Class D Category 9 breach of Clause #45A of the 'Leaguesman to Senior Staff Ettiquette Agreement' was recorded. Evidence of breach is attached below. Miscellenous information regarding Dr Val's credentials and position within the Unioner hierarchy was also recorded, mainly her role as Chief Engineer. After said conversation the [NAME ARCHIVED] successfully docked at Pacifica and is now currently undergoing crew reassignment, security checks and initial prepations for the start of the Itinerant Project.
As per Miss Holt's directives a detachment of Exitus Provosts were sent to Project drydock to take custody of Merchant Captain Vair. He has since been stripped of his title and position within the League and summarily executed via means of vacuum exposure via airlock decompression.
A copy of this report has also been relayed to Tordai for further coordination with Unioner leadship.
Significant Items:
Exercpt from Vair's conversation with Dr Valentina Margarethe Angelika Katrin von Depperschmidt the Third:
Code:
Darius: Finally, we are here.
Val: "Hallo."
Darius: Oh? Greetings Unioner.
Val: "Hey."
Darius: We were not expecting a welcoming party, but its good to see a friendly face.
Val: "Party would be more then me, but hallo."
Darius: *Chuckles* You do yourself a diservce then, allow me to introduce myself I am Darius Vair. Interim Captain assigned to see the handover of this vessel to your engineers.
Darius: Whom would I have the pleasure of meeting?
Val: "Well you're in luck, I am die chief engineer."
Val: "Baroness Doktor Valentina Margarethe Angelika Katrin von Depperschmidt the third."
Darius: Quite the name, fitting for such a lofty position.
Val: "Just call me Val."
Val: "So what can we do for you?"
Darius: Well my superior, Tordai, has instructed the intiation of the Mobile Shipyard Project. So my vessel has been selected to be the "foundation" of sorts.
Val: "Clever plan, but that seems too small of a ship, still."
Val: "See what can be done."
Darius: You would be surprised, the plans that Miss Holt can come up with are quite the marvel.
Darius: She might not look it, but this vessel marks the next step in our organisations autonomy from Sirius at large.
Val: "Interesting, well feel free to use our facilities."
Darius: That we shall, I have been informed the League's Senior Staff has already called ahead and organised the particulars with your diplomat ... what was his name?
Darius: Ah yes, Armin Jansen.
Darius: Apolgies if I have butchered the pronciation, the Rheinlander dialect was never my strong suit...
Darius: In anycase, as per our agreements a copy of the MSY Project's schematics has been allocated for Unioner use.
Val: "Okey, thats nice..."
Darius: Its onboard and ready to be transferred over once we dock.
**Val nods along pretending to know what he's talking about**
Darius: So, Val, how did you become Director of Engineering?
Val: "Perseverence."
Val: "And well, I'm die best of die best"
Darius: I am glad to here this project has such capable people assiting it!
Val: "I'm very interested in assisting, ya."
Darius: I get the feeling you are somewhat unaware of the exact particulars of this endeavour of ours?
Val: "Errrrr- ya.."
Val: "Armin never informed me, and he's away recently."
Darius: We can share that misfortune in common atleast, the Senior Staff are never inclined to share information with subordinates who are not in the "need to know" so to say.
Darius: Often to my own chargrin.
Val: "Mm"
Val: "I know of you guys but, I didn't know about this project."
Darius: Well I'll tell you what Tordai romanticised to me about the supposed "grandiose" nature of this RnD project.
Darius: Imagine the ability to manufacture and produce ships without having to rely on conventional facilities bound by territory, where any resource field in the enterity of the Sirius Sector is yours for the utilization.
Val: "I get the concept."
Darius: Connected by a whole network of hyperspace corridors and hub points totally bypassing the entrenched borders of so-called "soveriegn" houses.
Val: "I just would of gone with a bigger ship."
Darius: Oh...
Darius: I suppose
Darius: But Willow Holt has a tendancy for brutally mutilating those who don't like her decisions.
Val: "Still, I like interesting projects such as this"
Val: "Wow, err...huh"
Val: "You need a union."
Darius: More like a more tempremental superior.
Darius: But with how the oligarchic tendancies of the League leadership, you can't really be that picky.
Darius: Not if you want to have a very short life span...
Darius: A union would be nice...
Val: "Mm"
