Sagume's Personal Neuronet Diary

Log Entry #30: Exodus

"It's been a while since I had time to write, but I got granted some free time now, time to catch up with my little project. Conveniently the Junkers answered finally to my offering via comms and we arranged a meeting at my base.

With some survey drones I scouted out the area, to make a route to Frankfurt. Sigma-59 was rather quiet, seems the GMG was busy with other affairs, as I heard of more frequent raids of some terrorist organization there. Well tough luck for them.

I managed to "deactivate" the nearby anomaly orbiting the base, somehow the base is able to control it, wondering still what this anomaly is for... will be interesting to study it and finding out what you can do with it.

In the early hours I saw that their escort arrived. They made sure nobody followed. Three Salvage Frigates, exactly what we need for towing this base. Well, I paid them something in advance and offered them docking rights. As they attached the towing equipment on the base I uploaded the route over the neuronet. We had to wait a bit for the towing vessel but everything went smoothly, although the base got hit by some minor collisions, as the Aniva Nebula got these annoying black crystals all around. Menial Drones said everything was okay though."

[19.11.2020 09:07:55] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: rather small
[19.11.2020 09:07:58] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: This thing looks like it's smoking real hard in some places.
[19.11.2020 09:07:59] Sagume: I am willing to pay 200 million and grant the Congress docking rights.
[19.11.2020 09:08:09] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: Sounds good, Conagher, hook up the tow lines. Let's get this show on the road.
[19.11.2020 09:08:19] Sagume: In advance I can give you for now 30 million, but I pay everything when the job is done of course.
[19.11.2020 09:08:28] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: I'll get in position... which side's the front?
[19.11.2020 09:08:32] Sagume: I think one of your frigates is enough.
[19.11.2020 09:08:38] Sagume: here
[19.11.2020 09:08:55] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: You're probably right.
[19.11.2020 09:08:56] Sagume: group invite?
[19.11.2020 09:09:15] Sagume: Okay attach the towing equipment.
[19.11.2020 09:09:17] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Boys down deck, get those ropes moving.
[19.11.2020 09:09:18] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: well it'll go quicker if it's 2
[19.11.2020 09:09:25] Sagume: Yes scans analyze perfect power to weight ratio.

[19.11.2020 09:10:24] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: if that smoke is a hull breach we need to seal it before
[19.11.2020 09:10:40] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: We're latched and good to go... but yeah, I think I mentioned the smoke.
[19.11.2020 09:10:55] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: It's...probably fine...
[19.11.2020 09:12:28] Sagume: Well, seems everything is set up, let me transfer the route over the neuronet *sending* *beep tone*
[19.11.2020 09:12:32] Sagume: Got it?
[19.11.2020 09:12:55] Sagume: We go to Sigma-21
[19.11.2020 09:12:59] Sagume: Follow me.
[19.11.2020 09:13:36] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: now these things can't go as fast
[19.11.2020 09:13:48] Sagume: Yes tell me when to wait
[19.11.2020 09:14:01] Sagume: also to steer it through the dense asteroid field
[19.11.2020 09:14:12] Sagume: Tell me where I shall transfer the first payment to.
[19.11.2020 09:14:30] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: Send it to Burnie.

[19.11.2020 09:15:04] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: oh I get first haul? You shouldn't have.
[19.11.2020 09:15:09] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Should be for now
[19.11.2020 09:15:13] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Gimme a moment to catch up?

[19.11.2020 09:15:29] .:j:.The.Train: I'll wait up for ya
[19.11.2020 09:15:33] Sagume: As you see the installation is in a bit dire situation
[19.11.2020 09:15:39] Sagume: leakings, some little holes
[19.11.2020 09:15:52] Sagume: Maybe we could arrange more, like repairment shipments.
[19.11.2020 09:15:58] Sagume: All for a good prize of course
[19.11.2020 09:16:17] Sagume: Beware to wear oxygen masks and protection suits when docking on the base.
[19.11.2020 09:16:23] Sagume: life support systems are offline.
[19.11.2020 09:16:38] Sagume: Lets say I dont require oxygen anymore so...
[19.11.2020 09:16:49] Sagume: Jump hole on scanner
[19.11.2020 09:17:01] Sagume: :: Scanning :: *beep tone* It is safe.
[19.11.2020 09:17:13] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: I see, well those holes could get bigger as we move it

[19.11.2020 09:18:04] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Would. You. Finally. WORK.
[19.11.2020 09:18:08] .:j:.TS-Underboss: *clanging sounds*
[19.11.2020 09:18:18] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: *laughs*
[19.11.2020 09:18:47] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Sorry for the holdup, this blasted radio just does not like me today.
[19.11.2020 09:18:58] .:j:.Burnie_The_Round: feller, maybe you should let someone take a look at that
[19.11.2020 09:19:08] Sagume: My menial drones report me any changes of the status of the base when something happens.
[19.11.2020 09:19:31] Sagume: Seems only some little rocks hit it, nothing severe
[19.11.2020 09:19:35] Sagume: proceeding to jump.
[19.11.2020 09:19:56] Sagume: Uploading next route
[19.11.2020 09:20:04] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: I think the radio's just ultra sensitive to that gas.
[19.11.2020 09:20:32] Sagume: We have to fly a route around the stars.
[19.11.2020 09:20:53] Sagume: GMG still has its claws around here.
[19.11.2020 09:20:59] Sagume: In Sigma-15 we should be safe
[19.11.2020 09:21:46] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Beef never really gives the Congress a problem, don't you worry.
[19.11.2020 09:21:55] Sagume: Excellent.
[19.11.2020 09:22:10] Sagume: Got to take good care of this base. Got some projects for it.
[19.11.2020 09:22:25] Sagume: Over there in the nebula.
[19.11.2020 09:22:37] Sagume: Anomaly scanner gives readings of a jump hole.
[19.11.2020 09:22:46] Sagume: Yes, it is the one.
[19.11.2020 09:23:41] Sagume: Next waypoint arrived, so far so good.

[19.11.2020 09:24:25] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: We're locked down for entry.
[19.11.2020 09:24:33] .:j:.The.Train: Al l clear, no hostile activity.
[19.11.2020 09:24:57] Sagume: Alright we should be safe from the GMG now.
[19.11.2020 09:25:05] Sagume: There is a jumpgate nearby
[19.11.2020 09:25:06] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Engine's getting mighty hot here though, hope we can keep it cool.
[19.11.2020 09:25:17] Sagume: We can slow down if you need to.
[19.11.2020 09:25:21] Sagume: We are safe now.
[19.11.2020 09:25:45] Sagume: I think somewhere inside the Taunusfeld would be a good place.
[19.11.2020 09:26:51] Sagume: Seems they were all sleeping. Time to boil me some tea *activates onboard water cooker*
[19.11.2020 09:27:09] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: Lucky us then eh?
[19.11.2020 09:27:17] Sagume: Indeed.
[19.11.2020 09:27:29] Sagume: There it is.
[19.11.2020 09:27:38] Sagume: Installation should fit through the gate
[19.11.2020 09:27:54] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: *sniff* I smell frenchmen....*spits*
[19.11.2020 09:28:01] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: That's the Gallic spec, it could fit anything.
[19.11.2020 09:28:27] Sagume: Well, Rheinland wants to be independent of Liberty I heard.
[19.11.2020 09:28:41] Sagume: Thats why they make contracts to get gallic installations.
[19.11.2020 09:28:41] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Gonna need a moment to vent the heat on our drives from all this weight.

[19.11.2020 09:29:30] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: We're through, finishing the vent.
[19.11.2020 09:29:32] Sagume: Let me survey a bit.
[19.11.2020 09:29:51] Sagume: Alright a bit to the north west we go.
[19.11.2020 09:29:54] Sagume: Follow me.
[19.11.2020 09:30:10] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Sinks are clean, back to full burn.
[19.11.2020 09:31:20] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Rheinland's kind of a mess right now, but it's not so bad for neutrals.
[19.11.2020 09:31:32] Sagume: That is why we hide it here.
[19.11.2020 09:31:53] Sagume: Rheinlanders are to busy with their own struggles, else I only heard rumors of Bundschuh around here.
[19.11.2020 09:31:53] .:j:.The.Train: Rick: I like it, quiet, remote yet centralized.
[19.11.2020 09:31:56] Sagume: So this is it.

[19.11.2020 09:34:34] .:j:.TS-Underboss: Conagher: Bye!

"I had to check every jumphole through our little journey, lucky us every hole was stable. It was a interesting chat I had with them, good though they focus more on the money and don't ask too much questions, still had some interesting lines to share. I hope I can trust them when they dock on the base... and that they bring protection suits and oxygen supplies with them... Well the base is not so friendly to organics. Almost forgot what humans all needed.

Sigma-21 was the next waypoint to travel through, a former battleground of the recent Rheinland-GMG/Kusari War. Sigh... Well back to Rheinland I go, how ironic, but this time only to hide my base here. I hope the local authorities are easier to talk with here, in case one takes a look here. I will just try to avoid them and the whole civil war that rages on, nicht mein Bier. Sigma's were really quiet, good that nobody looked, though you could say that a towed base would normally be some odd sight. In Sigma-15 we were finally safe. We arrived Frankfurt through a gallic tech jump gate, seems like Rheinland wants to free themselfes from libertonian engineering and asks gallia for construction works.

We managed to put the base somewhere hidden in the northern parts of the Taunusfeld, finally out of the maw of these annoying gas miners. Well, first step is finally done, but the station will now need its repairs, also I probably need some more tools to get access to the other segments on the base. Well, time will tell, first steps are done. These junkers did a pretty good job, I think I can hire them for delivering some more supplies for the repairs. I only heard rumors about the Bundschuh being around here, hope they don't mind me being here with this installation.

It will probably take some time now again... I think I will just hire the junkers again to take care over the repairments, I got to go back now to Inverness, but when I will come back I hope to finally start my studies of the purpose of this whole thing. Since I got also now some place in Rheinland to retreat I could begin maybe with the search for "her". Apparently I got some new contacts to ask, maybe they can bring some light."
