Thought I'd do some slightly unlawful things today. Since we're kinda friendly with the Outcasts, figured I'd move a little bit of their product for them. At Malta, I heard a system-wide transmission from a vessel carrying an unknown signature. They were after Cardamine. Figured I'd go have a chat and see who they were. Bloody Corsairs! In Alpha! If the Hyperspace Starfleet saw this they would go crazy! After a decent conversation, we exchanged contact info for a potential business arrangement and then I flew back to Malta. Leon will be happy with this, I'm sure. Good I stayed instead of ignoring it. Now I'd like to learn more about these artefacts... . .

[02.10.2021 12:20:36] DTR-Penumbra: You got the water of life, I see.
[02.10.2021 12:20:50] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Was smugging some before I got your transmissions.
[02.10.2021 12:20:50] DTR-Vengeance: nice ship

[02.10.2021 12:21:46] DTR-Penumbra: *spits* Pashang, innard dogs.
[02.10.2021 12:21:54] DTR-Penumbra: We hate the innards.
[02.10.2021 12:22:06] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Don't much care either.I'm only here for profits.
[02.10.2021 12:22:13] DTR-Penumbra: Tumang think the stars belong to them.
[02.10.2021 12:22:32] DTR-Penumbra: Liberty innards are sabaka.
[02.10.2021 12:22:49] DTR-Penumbra: But beltalowda life is tough. Smuggling is necessary.
[02.10.2021 12:22:58] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Your crew members are ballsy being this close to Malta.
[02.10.2021 12:23:06] DTR-Penumbra: We like it dangerous.
[02.10.2021 12:23:29] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: I see... well, what can this Starflier do for you then?
[02.10.2021 12:23:32] DTR-Penumbra: We came for some Cardamine beratna.
[02.10.2021 12:23:38] DTR-Penumbra: And you seem to be full of it.
[02.10.2021 12:24:01] DTR-Penumbra: So here's the proposition. You give it to us and we let you continue your smuggling life. *chuckles*
[02.10.2021 12:24:04] DTR-Penumbra: Sounds good?
[02.10.2021 12:24:10] DTR-Penumbra: Pretty reasonable to me.
[02.10.2021 12:24:27] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: The farms are a few clicks away. I don't lose much here.
[02.10.2021 12:25:02] DTR-Penumbra: So it's all good then beratna?
[02.10.2021 12:25:30] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: I agree, sure.

[02.10.2021 12:25:52] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: One moment, these storage pods are finnicky.
[02.10.2021 12:26:28] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Right, there's a couple pods worth.
[02.10.2021 12:26:35] DTR-Vengeance: drop some more
[02.10.2021 12:26:39] DTR-Penumbra: We mean all beratna. *chuckles*
[02.10.2021 12:26:55] DTR-Penumbra: We have a large family you see.
[02.10.2021 12:26:56] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: I'm getting there. This transport is not the best at ejecting cargo.
[02.10.2021 12:26:58] DTR-Martin.Corso: You should look into the artifact trade instead, gringo!
[02.10.2021 12:27:09] DTR-Martin.Corso: Cardamine no bueno
[02.10.2021 12:27:34] DTR-Vengeance: drop some more we have family to feed
[02.10.2021 12:27:38] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: If these Artefacts are profitable, then you may message the Starfliers on moving it.
[02.10.2021 12:27:38] DTR-Vengeance: i didnt picked up
[02.10.2021 12:27:39] DTR-JohnSigman: artifacts are luxury and dangerous one too
[02.10.2021 12:28:15] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Hmm, this console doesn't have an "eject all" button.
[02.10.2021 12:28:23] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: I'll try be quick.
[02.10.2021 12:28:27] DTR-Vengeance: jettison all
[02.10.2021 12:28:34] DTR-Penumbra: You better, we ain't know for patience. *Chuckles*
[02.10.2021 12:29:02] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Last load right... now.

[02.10.2021 12:29:59] DTR-Cerratus: Hey he wants to work with us.
[02.10.2021 12:30:26] DTR-Martin.Corso: You can go to Gamma yourself if you have the courage, then take the artifacts to the Junkers in New London
[02.10.2021 12:30:32] DTR-Martin.Corso: Much better business than Cardamine!
[02.10.2021 12:30:39] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: If it's profitable, I'm in. However I know nothing of the artefact trade.
[02.10.2021 12:30:45] DTR-Vengeance: liberty 46thers will shoot you down
[02.10.2021 12:30:51] DTR-Vengeance: without talking
[02.10.2021 12:30:54] DTR-Penumbra: Are you flying solo or a part of a larger organization?
[02.10.2021 12:31:00] DTR-Vengeance: if thry see your cargo
[02.10.2021 12:31:05] DTR-Vengeance: they*

[02.10.2021 12:31:41] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Seeing as there's two capital ships infront of me, we might be able to help you out more...
[02.10.2021 12:31:53] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Than just moving artefacts.
[02.10.2021 12:32:07] DTR-Penumbra: Oh there's more of us than this. They are just occupied elsewhere at the moment.
[02.10.2021 12:32:14] DTR-Penumbra: But if you have a business proposition
[02.10.2021 12:32:20] DTR-Penumbra: Let's hear it.
[02.10.2021 12:32:26] DTR-Penumbra: I like long-term deals.
[02.10.2021 12:32:43] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: The company I work for, we sell hyperspace data. The kind that works with Jump Drives.
[02.10.2021 12:33:02] DTR-Penumbra: We have all the jump codes known to man.
[02.10.2021 12:33:14] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: As for me, my service is moving cargo, smuggling, supplying. You get the idea.
[02.10.2021 12:33:15] DTR-Penumbra: If you are referring to codes.
[02.10.2021 12:33:32] DTR-Penumbra: But smuggling and cargo, we are in that business to.
[02.10.2021 12:33:35] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Hmm, let's say you do. The Starfliers have better data.
[02.10.2021 12:33:38] DTR-Penumbra: What are you suggesting.
[02.10.2021 12:33:47] DTR-Penumbra: oh yeah?
[02.10.2021 12:34:27] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: We have a research station in Kepler designed to produce the best scanners.
[02.10.2021 12:34:49] DTR-Penumbra: That sounds interesting.
[02.10.2021 12:34:53] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Can confidently say we can get pretty good Jump Drive data.
[02.10.2021 12:35:23] DTR-Vengeance: sounds good
[02.10.2021 12:35:29] DTR-Penumbra: I doubt it's better than ours but I'm a firm believer of trying things out before assumptions.
[02.10.2021 12:35:35] DTR-Penumbra: So I'll tight-beam you
[02.10.2021 12:35:38] DTR-Penumbra: a way to contact us
[02.10.2021 12:35:42] DTR-Penumbra: that it's secure
[02.10.2021 12:35:48] DTR-Penumbra: and we can discuss our potential business venture
[02.10.2021 12:36:04] DTR-Penumbra: at a more secure location
[02.10.2021 12:36:06] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: Address any transmissions to "Starfliers", we'll get back to you.
[02.10.2021 12:36:37] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: And please do tell me more about the artefact trade.
[02.10.2021 12:37:02] DTR-Penumbra: Just tight-beamed you coordinates for secure transmissions.
[02.10.2021 12:37:28] DTR-Penumbra: We can continue our discussion at a later point
[02.10.2021 12:37:29] '\S/'Fomalhaut: Rex: I believe I've received encrypted data from you. I'll return home and read into it.
[02.10.2021 12:37:35] DTR-Penumbra: Sounds good.
[02.10.2021 12:37:40] DTR-Penumbra: Safe travel beratna.
