Itou Makoto, Recruit |KSP|Itou.Makoto[R] Incident: Meeting with NX-01 Details of Event: A ship going by the callsign NX-01 requested to meet with me. We met in Kansai Research Station. Action(s) Taken: REDACTED - CONFIDENTIAL (Behind spoiler)
NX-01 offered his cartography services to KSP and KNF by surveying jump coordinates and providing them to us for a fee. See police records below:
Police records:
[05.05.2021 15:49:09] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Greetings, I got your message. Hope you're not here to assassinate me.
[05.05.2021 15:49:16] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Konnichiwa I should say rather.
[05.05.2021 15:49:19] NX-01: Leon: Hail, KSP vessel.
[05.05.2021 15:49:35] NX-01: Leon: Ah, you may scan my ship. I carry no arms. You're safe.
[05.05.2021 15:50:03] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Indeed, you bear no arms.
[05.05.2021 15:50:39] NX-01: Leon: So, I have an offer for you and the rest of the Kusari authorities.
[05.05.2021 15:51:30] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: I can certainly receive your message and forward it to the appropriate authorities.
[05.05.2021 15:51:36] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Of course, I can not make a decision on their behalf.
[05.05.2021 15:51:57] NX-01: Leon: Fair enough, well. Let me introduce myself.
[05.05.2021 15:52:12] NX-01: Leon: The name is Leon, and this vessel is known as the NX-01.
[05.05.2021 15:52:31] NX-01: Leon: I'm an explorer, system scanner and riftjumper.
[05.05.2021 15:52:51] NX-01: Leon: Leaping from world to world to explore.
[05.05.2021 15:53:22] NX-01: Leon: I understand, as per Kusari Law, that my vessel and it's equipment is illegal, without a license.
[05.05.2021 15:53:59] NX-01: Leon: Though, what I am offering - is my services of getting jump co-ordinates for KSP and the KNF
[05.05.2021 15:54:30] NX-01: Leon: To help you better protect and serve.
[05.05.2021 15:55:20] NX-01: Leon: With all of this, I will apply for a license. At this point I'm seeing if you're interested.
[05.05.2021 15:55:40] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: My understanding is that you are offering jump co-ordinates for KSP and KNF in exchange for a license? or some form of payment
[05.05.2021 15:55:59] NX-01: Leon: Payment. I'll be applying for a license separately.
[05.05.2021 15:56:29] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Pardon me but I am not too familiar with jump drives. It is my understanding
[05.05.2021 15:56:37] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: that these jump drives only helpful to those with jump drives?
[05.05.2021 15:56:44] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: these coordinates I should say
[05.05.2021 15:57:15] NX-01: Leon: I've had a decent amount of experience with them - so I'll explain it.
[05.05.2021 15:57:49] NX-01: Leon: My vessel is capable of surveying an area. This means I'll create co-ords for the area I am in.
[05.05.2021 15:58:19] NX-01: Leon: Anyone with a jump drive, can punch those numbers in, and they'll arrive in that area I surveyed.
[05.05.2021 15:59:02] NX-01: Leon: Naturally, any survey scans I make will be exclusive to Kusari Authorities, if they accept.
[05.05.2021 15:59:20] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: The modern day cartographer.
[05.05.2021 15:59:33] NX-01: Leon: *chuckles* You can say that.
[05.05.2021 15:59:44] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: So am I correct by saying that these co-ordinates will only be helpful to those equipped with a jump drive?
[05.05.2021 15:59:54] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: It is my understanding that this only negates the need for a hyperspace scanner.
[05.05.2021 16:00:35] NX-01: Leon: If my services are accepted, Kusari lawfuls won't need to rely on the Hyperspace Scanner.
[05.05.2021 16:00:43] NX-01: Leon: As I'll be using my own to do that side of the work.
[05.05.2021 16:01:08] NX-01: Leon: When it comes to your Jump Drives question... in most cases it only affects those who have one installed.
[05.05.2021 16:01:30] NX-01: Leon: Unless your Battleships are equipped with Class 4's... then it's different.
[05.05.2021 16:02:20] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: *laughs* the idea of dropping a fleet on top of those terrorists is appealing.
[05.05.2021 16:02:44] NX-01: Leon: I would normally send a communication over subspace, but talking here I think is better.
[05.05.2021 16:02:58] NX-01: Leon: I could certainly provide you with advantageous co-ords.
[05.05.2021 16:03:24] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: This is the most secure location in Kusari space in my opinion.
[05.05.2021 16:03:34] NX-01: Leon: One way in, one way out.
[05.05.2021 16:03:45] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: And as you said, holy mines.
[05.05.2021 16:04:08] NX-01: Leon: *chuckles* I thought this Bustard was going to get hit!
[05.05.2021 16:04:39] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Very well, as previously mentioned, I can not make a decision on behalf of KSP and KNF
[05.05.2021 16:04:48] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: But I will forward your proposal to the highest level.
[05.05.2021 16:04:55] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Do you have anything else to add to your proposal?
[05.05.2021 16:05:18] NX-01: Leon: I will also mention that all scans I make will be backed up onto my installation within the Kepler system.
[05.05.2021 16:05:43] NX-01: Leon: If my ship gets disabled or my black box stolen, all the info is secure on my base.
[05.05.2021 16:06:10] NX-01: Leon: So you can be sure that I'm careful with how I store this info.
[05.05.2021 16:06:24] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: That way, we can ask for those coordinates again if we happen to lose them, I presume?
[05.05.2021 16:07:02] NX-01: Leon: Due to orbital changes within systems, co-ords become inaccurate after some time.
[05.05.2021 16:07:20] NX-01: Leon: I offer renewal services too.
[05.05.2021 16:07:32] NX-01: Re-scan the same locations for a reduced price.
[05.05.2021 16:07:59] NX-01: Leon: I won't go into all my pricing and info now. I will ask, however...
[05.05.2021 16:08:03] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: I understand. One question: what assurances can you provide that you will not share these coordinates with other parties?
[05.05.2021 16:08:19] NX-01: Hmm... as insurance...
[05.05.2021 16:08:31] NX-01: Leon: Actually, what you said before could work.
[05.05.2021 16:09:04] NX-01: Leon: If you find that I've handed out your sentitive info to other parties, you can revoke my license.
[05.05.2021 16:09:24] NX-01: Leon: This wouldn't be my first option for your concern.
[05.05.2021 16:09:39] NX-01: Leon: Just something that *could* work.
[05.05.2021 16:10:08] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Very well. I'm sorry I cut you off, you were saying?
[05.05.2021 16:10:21] NX-01: Leon: If you have any other questions, please send a comm over subspace.
[05.05.2021 16:10:30] NX-01: Leon: Addressed to "Freelancer NX-01"
[05.05.2021 16:10:56] NX-01: Leon: My dashboard automatically picks those up.
[05.05.2021 16:11:48] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Very well, thank you. I will forward your proposal to the top of command. Hopefully he will reach out to you with an answer
[05.05.2021 16:11:49] NX-01: Leon: If a communication is sent, I'll provide all the info about my services.
[05.05.2021 16:12:01] NX-01: Leon: Perfect.
[05.05.2021 16:12:17] NX-01: Leon: May I land on the Research Station, or is it restricted?
[05.05.2021 16:12:28] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: It is not restricted, please go ahead.
[05.05.2021 16:12:34] |KSP|Itou.Makoto.[R]: Safe travels, wherever you may boldly go.
[05.05.2021 16:12:50] NX-01: Leon: *chuckles* Godspeed, Makoto.
