PATROL REPORT

Interesting encounter upon coming back from the Tau systems...
I encountered a ship with a neutral IFF sitting close to the Baffin jumphole.
Interestingly, it was a Gallic sunbeam, civilian version, no real threat
Had a talk with this guy.
He said something about "Étandard Noir" and being in search for intel on new enemies.
Well, he was alone and posed no imminent threat so I decided to not engage him.
I uploaded the logs so you can judge by yourself what to do with him and his "Étandard Noir" thing.

[13.08.2019 22:00:47] |||-Dreamer: Pilot.
[13.08.2019 22:01:11] =CR=|Hellfire|: hello there
[13.08.2019 22:01:16] |||-Dreamer: You are one of the ones, this independent state, that is responsible for the 31 offensive, yes?
[13.08.2019 22:01:32] =CR=|Hellfire|: Could be, why?
[13.08.2019 22:01:57] |||-Dreamer: I am curious. I have not encountered your organization before.
[13.08.2019 22:02:11] =CR=|Hellfire|: Well, you are pretty far from home
[13.08.2019 22:02:31] |||-Dreamer: Not so far really, we are basing out of the Taus.
[13.08.2019 22:03:00] =CR=|Hellfire|: I know the Maquis
[13.08.2019 22:03:13] =CR=|Hellfire|: I know you are quite far away from your home space
[13.08.2019 22:03:17] |||-Dreamer: And what do you know about us?
[13.08.2019 22:04:36] =CR=|Hellfire|: So, how can I help you?
[13.08.2019 22:05:14] |||-Dreamer: It is important that I encounter you, since the Etendard Noir is a new organization.
[13.08.2019 22:05:53] |||-Dreamer: We are unleashing the opposition to control on an absolute level.
[13.08.2019 22:06:13] |||-Dreamer: No government of any house shall be allowed to stand, all of them must fall.
[13.08.2019 22:06:21] =CR=|Hellfire|: Eh?
[13.08.2019 22:06:43] |||-Dreamer: While we commend you for your work against the Gallic Crown, working with the Bretonian Crown is also unacceptable.
[13.08.2019 22:07:11] |||-Dreamer: No crowns, no rulers, no leaders, no hierarchy. Only persons.
[13.08.2019 22:07:16] =CR=|Hellfire|: I am not the decision maker to be honest
[13.08.2019 22:07:21] |||-Dreamer: That is how the Etendard will function.
[13.08.2019 22:07:52] |||-Dreamer: Mm, I understand. Just a soldier, following orders? We do not have such systems.
[13.08.2019 22:08:02] =CR=|Hellfire|: And? In which way does that concern Crayter?
[13.08.2019 22:08:42] |||-Dreamer: The Etendard will attempt to dismantle human society, and we will be starting in the Taus, Gallia and Bretonia.
[13.08.2019 22:08:45] |||-Dreamer: Where you are.
[13.08.2019 22:09:13] =CR=|Hellfire|: Well, good luck with that I guess...
[13.08.2019 22:09:24] =CR=|Hellfire|: And stop shooting the Crayter ships
[13.08.2019 22:09:34] |||-Dreamer: You are just a soldier, I understand.
[13.08.2019 22:09:42] =CR=|Hellfire|: Major actually
[13.08.2019 22:09:54] =CR=|Hellfire|: but that's none of your business
[13.08.2019 22:10:00] |||-Dreamer: It doesn't matter to me. Military hierarchy is an abomination.
[13.08.2019 22:10:30] |||-Dreamer: Your republic, unfortunately, does not seem like it can fulfill our ideals either.
[13.08.2019 22:10:46] |||-Dreamer: But maybe some of its people will.
[13.08.2019 22:10:52] =CR=|Hellfire|: Okay, I might not be following here... What exactly do you want?
[13.08.2019 22:11:17] =CR=|Hellfire|: Please stop talking in riddles
[13.08.2019 22:11:34] |||-Dreamer: Are you so consumed by demand-based culture that you must assume I want something?
[13.08.2019 22:11:50] |||-Dreamer: All I wanted was to learn something about a new enemy.
[13.08.2019 22:12:04] =CR=|Hellfire|: Oh an enemy you say?
[13.08.2019 22:12:15] =CR=|Hellfire|: Now we are going somewhere
[13.08.2019 22:12:21] |||-Dreamer: You work with the tyrannical Bretonian monarchy, yes?
[13.08.2019 22:12:32] |||-Dreamer: No such state can be our friend.
[13.08.2019 22:12:36] =CR=|Hellfire|: Well, not directly, we sometimes help them out
[13.08.2019 22:12:53] =CR=|Hellfire|: but details are none of your business
[13.08.2019 22:13:23] |||-Dreamer: Mm. Maybe your state has potential, but I think you are too deeply rooted in the colonial statecraft.
[13.08.2019 22:13:42] =CR=|Hellfire|: Colonial... it's been a while I've heard that...
[13.08.2019 22:14:11] |||-Dreamer: Yes, maybe you do not consider yourselves that, but the shadow of the colonies hangs over you still.
[13.08.2019 22:14:11] =CR=|Hellfire|: Anyways, so you were saying you are collecting intel on a new enemy, us...
[13.08.2019 22:14:43] |||-Dreamer: For it to be intel, I would have to have heard something important. Which I have not.
[13.08.2019 22:14:55] =CR=|Hellfire|: To which I will reply with, don't mess with the Crayter Republic if you value your life
[13.08.2019 22:15:20] |||-Dreamer: I do not, nobody who joins the Etendard does. We cannot, as nearly everyone else is our enemy.
[13.08.2019 22:16:10] |||-Dreamer: Only those that are truly independent have our respects.
[13.08.2019 22:17:13] =CR=|Hellfire|: So you don't respect us... great... now I'm sad
[13.08.2019 22:17:43] |||-Dreamer: I don't think you should be.
[13.08.2019 22:18:06] |||-Dreamer: If you are not determining your organization's statecraft, it is not yours to be responsible for.
[13.08.2019 22:18:25] |||-Dreamer: And if you wish to take such a role, the Etendard might be a better fit.
[13.08.2019 22:18:43] =CR=|Hellfire|: Nah thanks, I am a Crayterian
[13.08.2019 22:18:53] =CR=|Hellfire|: I don't join shady organisations
[13.08.2019 22:19:15] =CR=|Hellfire|: you don't seem very trustworthy honestly
[13.08.2019 22:19:16] |||-Dreamer: We are the opposite of shady, my friend. We are completely open about everything.
[13.08.2019 22:19:31] |||-Dreamer: Everything you want to know, I will tell you in honesty.
[13.08.2019 22:20:01] =CR=|Hellfire|: Yeah... well you said you are gathering intel on us as a new enemy. I heard enough.
[13.08.2019 22:20:31] |||-Dreamer: You could stand to learn a bit more, but if that's all you want, so be it.
[13.08.2019 22:21:27] =CR=|Hellfire|: So I will be on my way, don't follow me. If you do I will ask you kindly to leave the system and see you not too soon.
[13.08.2019 22:21:42] |||-Dreamer: I will not. Another time maybe.
