Sender: Luis Torres Recipient: Cartel Security and Leadership Subject: Good news and...bad news?
Right the goodish news first. I went on a recon mission into Tau-31 with Elizabeth "Tavira" Araújo Lima the Former Amalfi pilot we flew with yesterday to confirm some rumors. Turns out the Crayterians have managed to capture New Tours and renamed it to Barra Anchorage....whatever the hell that means. Anyway the appeared to have stationed the "Hades" a Zephyr class Carrier to guard it. We then proceeded to check out Harris which was still being patrolled by Gallic Forces so they haven't been completely pushed out yet. On return to Malta I wired "Tavira" Fifteen Million credits for the assist.
Now onto the bad news.....Whilst we were returning to Malta we ran into a 101st ship.... yeah those 101st. It didn't immediately open fire and with the Council gone I decided instead to refrain from engaging and to see if I can glean some info from them. And it would appear they are not the only one it seems now. And since this sh*t is miles above my Pay-grade I'm sending this up the chain and I'm gonna step away till we get an official stance on this.
Logs will be included along with the Recon photos from Thirty-One. If anyone needs me I'll be drowning my sorrows on Estremuda
Visual Identification of 101st ship: [X]
[05.08.2019 16:47:26] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: What in the?
[05.08.2019 16:47:43] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Hola.
[05.08.2019 16:47:47] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Is something wrong Senhor Torres?
[05.08.2019 16:48:16] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Last I checked the 101st disappeared
[05.08.2019 16:48:26] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: We were never gone.
[05.08.2019 16:48:45] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Is that so?
[05.08.2019 16:48:55] "Tavira": Elizabeth: I've only heard rumours about the 101st...
[05.08.2019 16:49:08] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Everyone who knows the spectres of Razgriz knows, we're never truly gone.
[05.08.2019 16:49:11] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: We're always around.
[05.08.2019 16:49:37] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Rumors and one or two of the statements from The national council before their disbandment
[05.08.2019 16:49:51] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Good news.
[05.08.2019 16:49:54] "Tavira": Elizabeth: The Council is gone now.
[05.08.2019 16:49:57] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: The disbandment of the Council.
[05.08.2019 16:50:20] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Well this is akward....
[05.08.2019 16:50:36] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Is it?
[05.08.2019 16:50:38] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Is it?
[05.08.2019 16:51:41] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: If I recall Council banished the 101st...but now the Council is gone.
[05.08.2019 16:51:59] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: You cannot banish something that belongs to Malta.
[05.08.2019 16:52:21] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: O....kay then.....
[05.08.2019 16:52:31] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: We flow through Malta like the cardamine through your veins.
[05.08.2019 16:52:49] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Thats some weird symbolism.
[05.08.2019 16:53:00] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: A symbol of pride.
[05.08.2019 16:53:11] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Mhm, if you continue like this I actually might get some goosebumps from it.
[05.08.2019 16:53:36] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: One thing for certain is that this is way above my pay-grade...
[05.08.2019 16:53:51] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Brings back memories of the ghost stories my avo (grandmother) told me.
[05.08.2019 16:53:59] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Do you really wish to continue the hostilities?
[05.08.2019 16:54:09] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Not my call
[05.08.2019 16:54:25] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: That lies with whoever assumes power on malta now
[05.08.2019 16:54:43] "Tavira": Elizabeth: I personally have nothing against you.
[05.08.2019 16:55:10] "Tavira": Elizabeth: And I don't serve the Council nor the Legion.
[05.08.2019 16:55:12] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Shame.
[05.08.2019 16:55:26] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I'd loved to have a decent fire fight.
[05.08.2019 16:56:03] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Then you can go and shoot the Crayons.
[05.08.2019 16:56:07] QC|Aguila-X: no shootin yet
[05.08.2019 16:56:12] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: The what?
[05.08.2019 16:56:14] IRMM~"Blackfox": No need to be hostile
[05.08.2019 16:56:14] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Or the Gaulics
[05.08.2019 16:56:23] QC|Aguila-X: true
[05.08.2019 16:56:28] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Crayons? Crayter?
[05.08.2019 16:56:30] QC|Aguila-X: playin neutral so far
[05.08.2019 16:56:41] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Didn't get that play of words?
[05.08.2019 16:57:41] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I hoped they would be eradicated by the Outcasts.
[05.08.2019 16:57:52] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Good to know that those pests are still around.
[05.08.2019 16:58:02] IRMM~"Blackfox": Would you believe that, a long lost child of Ishmael
[05.08.2019 16:58:03] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: The gallic invasion interrupted that plan
[05.08.2019 16:58:17] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: What a shame.
[05.08.2019 16:58:22] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Pest tends to cling to every bit of hope.
[05.08.2019 16:58:33] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I remember one saying.
[05.08.2019 16:58:40] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: "For those we left behind"?
[05.08.2019 16:58:53] IRMM~"Blackfox": Good evening Dominic Esteban
[05.08.2019 16:58:58] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Hola.
[05.08.2019 16:59:05] IRMM~"Blackfox": Sounds like Crayter motto
[05.08.2019 16:59:07] IRMM~"Phocron": Buenos dias
[05.08.2019 16:59:15] "Tavira": Elizabeth: You mean Crayon motto.
[05.08.2019 16:59:40] IRMM~"Blackfox": Remembering old times Dominic?
[05.08.2019 17:00:00] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Yes, it has been a while that I've seen this green beauty.
[05.08.2019 17:00:17] IRMM~"Blackfox": You could say that after this much time people forgot, yet there are still some harbouring hate
[05.08.2019 17:00:31] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Time heals wounds they say.
[05.08.2019 17:00:47] IRMM~"Blackfox": Not everyone is capable of that
[05.08.2019 17:00:50] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: But there won't be enough time to forgive.
[05.08.2019 17:01:20] IRMM~"Blackfox": What happened is past, as long as there's no similar ill will in front of us, anyone is warmly welcomed
[05.08.2019 17:01:29] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Casta is dead.
[05.08.2019 17:01:51] IRMM~"Blackfox": Was she properly burried in, -well- you know
[05.08.2019 17:01:57] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: And the Spectres are disbanded, all of us are either dead or MIA, I am the last living operative I know about.
[05.08.2019 17:02:23] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Not the only one....
[05.08.2019 17:02:42] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: What do you mean?
[05.08.2019 17:02:45] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Not the only one?
[05.08.2019 17:02:46] IRMM~"Blackfox": I hope her burial was a proper one, you know what i mean. And how did Estefania die?

[05.08.2019 17:03:01] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: There was one in Kusari operating under the Golden Chrysantheum's banner
[05.08.2019 17:03:07] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Name?
[05.08.2019 17:03:13] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Ran em into em in a recent festival...

[05.08.2019 17:03:54] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: It was rather brutal than honored.
[05.08.2019 17:03:57] "Tavira": Ola, Arragon.
[05.08.2019 17:03:58] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Hola Arragon.

[05.08.2019 17:04:28] MNS-Arragon: yeye
[05.08.2019 17:04:40] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: As far as I know she was burried by a snowslide.
[05.08.2019 17:04:45] MNS-Arragon: but nothing serious, hrhr

[05.08.2019 17:05:21] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I have no exact position.
[05.08.2019 17:05:26] IRMM~"Blackfox": It's tragic death then *his voice lowers*
[05.08.2019 17:05:32] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: The brets have that planet on lock now.
[05.08.2019 17:05:38] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Why do you ask so much about her?
[05.08.2019 17:05:46] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Bretonians..

[05.08.2019 17:06:47] MNS-Arragon: thx, Hi Rabbit
[05.08.2019 17:06:54] IRMM~"Blackfox": Scientific research. Pushing the boundaries of science and equipping Ishmael children with only the best
[05.08.2019 17:07:22] IRMM~"Blackfox": While standing as Guards for Malta in the same time
[05.08.2019 17:07:34] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: We always had one of the best military grade equipment.
[05.08.2019 17:07:42] DEAD_RABBIT: any thing happening alot of people in the system at the moment?
[05.08.2019 17:07:56] IRMM~"Phocron": Only talking.
[05.08.2019 17:08:06] DEAD_RABBIT: oh ok
[05.08.2019 17:08:06] IRMM~"Blackfox": Yes, and we're making sure to keep it to ourselves and gather any tactical advantage over our enemies
[05.08.2019 17:08:26] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Good good.
[05.08.2019 17:08:29] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: You did well.
[05.08.2019 17:08:36] DEAD_RABBIT: cool any thing i should be on the look out for
[05.08.2019 17:08:48] IRMM~"Blackfox": We're doing our best, as much as we can. To live up to your former reputation
[05.08.2019 17:08:56] IRMM~"Phocron": You should always keep your eyes open in space..
[05.08.2019 17:09:12] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Indeed, our reputation is quite "legendary".
[05.08.2019 17:09:26] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Mythical would be more suiting.
[05.08.2019 17:09:26] IRMM~"Blackfox": That's why seeing you here makes me excited so much
[05.08.2019 17:09:40] DEAD_RABBIT: try to keep them in the back of my to
[05.08.2019 17:09:43] IRMM~"Blackfox": Have you heard the news about National Council?
[05.08.2019 17:09:57] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I did.
[05.08.2019 17:09:58] IRMM~"Phocron": another 101
[05.08.2019 17:10:03] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: They disbanded?
[05.08.2019 17:10:18] IRMM~"Blackfox": Yes, and they give Legion whatever power they had left
[05.08.2019 17:10:22] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: That's the sole reason I've decided to take a look at Ishmael one more time.
[05.08.2019 17:10:29] IRMM~"Blackfox": One?
[05.08.2019 17:10:48] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: There was the risk getting shot.
[05.08.2019 17:10:58] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: And I calculate my chances of survival very low.
[05.08.2019 17:11:13] IRMM~"Blackfox": It would be an honour to have you back and be by your side
[05.08.2019 17:12:24] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: It appears.
[05.08.2019 17:12:28] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I am not the last survivor.
[05.08.2019 17:12:33] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: Of the Spectres.
[05.08.2019 17:12:38] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: I have to depart now.
[05.08.2019 17:12:56] IRMM~"Blackfox": Very well, it was a pleasure to meet you.
[05.08.2019 17:13:04] Dominic.Esteban[101st]: You are invited to accompany me.
[05.08.2019 17:13:08] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Did we just trade one civil war for another?
[05.08.2019 17:13:25] "Tavira": Elizabeth: Senhor Torres, does this conclude the mission?
[05.08.2019 17:13:28] IRMM~"Blackfox": It is our home for some time already *he chuckles*
[05.08.2019 17:13:37] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: Seems so....
[05.08.2019 17:13:50] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: This is an odd situation
[05.08.2019 17:14:00] "Tavira": Elizabeth: You do seem a little confused.
[05.08.2019 17:14:22] QC|Aguila-X: Torres: I'm worried we are going to have another civil war
