Greetings, Command
It seems a Freelancer aboard a Bustard is showing interest in affiliating with our fleet to aid us by providing the fleet with useful jump coordinates for any system that might interest us. Although I'll have to admit our meeting was quite subtle, he seemed like the trustworthy type at least for the time being.
His ship goes by the identifier SR-45, fully equipped with the necessary tools to survey scan systems and complete a jump to hyperspace. No weaponry systems of any sort were picked up by our scanners on board the Bustard-class.
He seemed to be interested in building and maintaining an installation in Liberty to help store his coordinates, I informed him he'd have to go through official Governmental channels to achieve that. It was then that he mentioned working for the Fifth Fleet and asked me to inform the High Command that he will be sending a communication our way soon.
That is all.
With regards.
Commodore Christopher Edwards Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet
[30.03.2021 12:41:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good day.
[30.03.2021 12:41:26] SR-45: Hail, Officer.
[30.03.2021 12:41:50] SR-45: I seem to have a bit of a problem. Eould you mind taking a gander?
[30.03.2021 12:41:53] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's not often I see a Bustard around here.
[30.03.2021 12:42:13] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: What may the problem be, Captain?
[30.03.2021 12:42:46] SR-45: My computer says a piece of my hull is out of place. It may be interfering with my Survey module.
[30.03.2021 12:43:12] SR-45: Care to scan and see if it's causing any trouble? I'm afraid it'll take me 10 minutes to run down to that deck myself.
[30.03.2021 12:43:20] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Our onboard scanners aren't detecting any abnormalities on the ship's hull.
[30.03.2021 12:43:43] SR-45: Seems my scans are faulty... strange.
[30.03.2021 12:44:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: The survey module aboard your vessel could be problematic.
[30.03.2021 12:44:17] SR-45: Can't have that happening. Trying to gather up-to-date info on certain areas.
[30.03.2021 12:44:35] SR-45: You won't mind if I try to use my equipment in Liberty?
[30.03.2021 12:45:19] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Jumpdrives and survey modules are not illegal in Liberty as long as you're not using them to help out our enemies.
[30.03.2021 12:45:33] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: And as long as you operate your jumpdrive away from high-traffic areas.
[30.03.2021 12:45:57] SR-45: Well, unlike you, my class of drive doesn't pull in material around me.
[30.03.2021 12:46:48] SR-45: So it'll be hard to pull in anyone else. Won't have to worry about that.
[30.03.2021 12:47:03] SR-45: I mean no offense, officer.
[30.03.2021 12:47:23] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: No offense taken, Captain. I hadn't viewed the size of your onboard jumpdrive.
[30.03.2021 12:47:36] SR-45: Greetings, Freelancer.
[30.03.2021 12:48:38] SR-45: I've gathered information from points all throughout Sirius.
[30.03.2021 12:48:51] SR-45: Would you like info on points of interest in Liberty space?
[30.03.2021 12:49:39] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I could be interested in receiving coordinates of points of interest around Liberty space indeed.
[30.03.2021 12:49:45] SR-45: Can I do something for you, Freelancer?
[30.03.2021 12:50:20] SR-45: I'm able to provide.
[30.03.2021 12:50:37] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I understand there's a price per pair of coordinates.
[30.03.2021 12:50:45] SR-45: I have to warn you, as my ship's core is only so powerful, so is the accuracy of my Survey Matrix.
[30.03.2021 12:50:59] SR-45: Ah, see I have something in mind for that.
[30.03.2021 12:51:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: The coordinates saved on the on-board computers are months if not years old.
[30.03.2021 12:51:46] SR-45: I travel all over Sirius to survey. My last scan was in the Omicrons. About three days ago.
[30.03.2021 12:52:28] SR-45: I'll get you a scan for no price, as a show of good faith. But I do have an inquiry.
[30.03.2021 12:52:46] SR-45: I'll give you more details when I return.
[30.03.2021 12:52:53] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I am only interested in coordinate scans of New York, so I won't burgain you with a lot of work.
[30.03.2021 12:53:18] SR-45: Not a problem. Where abouts within the system?
[30.03.2021 12:53:42] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Any lane intersection will do.
[30.03.2021 12:54:16] SR-45: Alright, officer.
[30.03.2021 12:54:25] SR-45: My computer says West Point is the best choice.
[30.03.2021 12:54:36] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Works for me, Captain.
[30.03.2021 12:54:43] SR-45: I'll be back in a couple hours.
[30.03.2021 12:54:53] SR-45: Where shall I find you?
[30.03.2021 12:55:16] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: If the Akhetaten isn't in space at the time feel free to send a communication my way.
[30.03.2021 12:55:27] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Commodore Christopher Edwards, Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet.
[30.03.2021 12:55:54] SR-45: Nice to meet you, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 12:55:58] SR-45: Name's Leon here.
[30.03.2021 12:56:12] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Pleasure's all mine, Leon.
[30.03.2021 12:56:24] SR-45: Godspeed.
[30.03.2021 12:56:48] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good day, Ageira vessel.
[30.03.2021 12:56:56] SR-45: Hail, Ageira.
[30.03.2021 13:01:09] SR-45: Good day, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 13:01:14] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Welcome back.
[30.03.2021 13:01:52] SR-45: West Point had a look at my problem. Seems that hull plating was causing my port engine to use more power.
[30.03.2021 13:02:11] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: So it was a hull plating issue?
[30.03.2021 13:02:36] SR-45: It was. They fixed it for a small fee.
[30.03.2021 13:02:57] SR-45: While I was over there, I did manage to get the scan done.
[30.03.2021 13:03:16] SR-45: The Cali and Penn gates were causing delays, but I got it in the end.
[30.03.2021 13:03:47] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Good to know you got it handled.
[30.03.2021 13:03:57] SR-45: About my inquiry...
[30.03.2021 13:04:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Go ahead.
[30.03.2021 13:04:44] SR-45: Since I have many scans from multiple systems, I'm afraid of this ship getting stolen or destroyed.
[30.03.2021 13:05:06] SR-45: The prospect of losing all my work isn't a great thing to think about.
[30.03.2021 13:05:36] SR-45: I was going to ask permission to maybe have an installation built
[30.03.2021 13:05:45] SR-45: So I can transfer my data to.
[30.03.2021 13:05:49] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: You can't receive that permission from me, Leon.
[30.03.2021 13:05:58] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's the Government you should ask.
[30.03.2021 13:06:15] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: There's a specific Government channel for this purpose.
[30.03.2021 13:06:53] SR-45: Understood. Maybe via this frequency I can forward the scans to you aswell.
[30.03.2021 13:08:06] SR-45: Unless I could perhaps join the Navy in a semi-official capacity?
[30.03.2021 13:08:22] SR-45: Still freelance, but gather scans when requested.
[30.03.2021 13:08:45] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: You'd have to contact the Fifth Fleet's High Command for that proposal.
[30.03.2021 13:09:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: It's not a proposal that comes up often, so I cannot give you a response as to what the result may be.
[30.03.2021 13:09:41] SR-45: Well, in that case I'll have to make myself look very nice if I have to talk to your superiors.
[30.03.2021 13:09:56] SR-45: With this ship, it's gonna be a little hard.
[30.03.2021 13:10:44] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Bustards don't cause us much trouble here.
[30.03.2021 13:10:54] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I doubt your ship will effect the response.
[30.03.2021 13:11:22] SR-45: I'm sure the 5th have standard, right?
[30.03.2021 13:11:40] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: We wouldn't be a primary fleet if we didn't.
[30.03.2021 13:12:26] SR-45: Well, I'll try compose something to send to your superiors.
[30.03.2021 13:12:58] SR-45: If you could perhaps let them know that something is coming, I'd appreciate it.
[30.03.2021 13:13:35] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: I'll be doing that shortly.
[30.03.2021 13:13:46] SR-45: Thank you, Christopher.
[30.03.2021 13:13:58] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Pleasure's all mine.
[30.03.2021 13:14:15] SR-45: I'll be taking my leave now. Got family to return to.
[30.03.2021 13:14:23] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Safe flights, Leon.
