Updating the Technocracy of our Situation
It has been quite some time since the Technocracy and us had a chat, or at least the kind of interaction where they are updated on our operations and what we're generally doing. Tied up on the dock at Valravn Citadel alongside '\S/'Cygnus for general repairs before our next stop. It's very likely that our signatures were noticed as soon as we entered the system, as soon as we disembarked, a small group of Technocracy vessels met us in space right above the Citadel. Better time than any to give them some updates. We had a chat, info was shared, and just like our former base in Kepler, they fully support our plans to rebuild, this time within their home system. Guess they want their partners close, don't blame them.
After our chat, another Freelancer crashed the party. I didn't stay long enough to find out who Rebecca.Harper was, but hey, not my problem. I moved to the Freeport then later initiated a blind jump into Leeds.
[28.06.2023 22:43:19] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: Operator to Starfliers, we greet you.
[28.06.2023 22:43:35] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Jesus... what kind of ship is that? Also, hello.
[28.06.2023 22:43:37] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: What is the purpose of your visit?
[28.06.2023 22:44:02] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Looks interesting.
[28.06.2023 22:44:19] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Undergoing slight repairs on your dock. Also wanting to update you on operations.
[28.06.2023 22:44:40] A/)-ACV-Achlys: O: Very well. Proceed. We will be wiring up a private link.
[28.06.2023 22:45:10] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Starfliers.
[28.06.2023 22:45:42] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: You mentioned a status update, hm?
[28.06.2023 22:46:05] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Yes, just wanting to make it concise, as you to appreciate this.
[28.06.2023 22:46:25] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Well, let's hear it then.
[28.06.2023 22:46:48] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We have purchased some transports, to aid our research fleet with fuel when it comes to surveying.
[28.06.2023 22:46:59] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: This means our work has become more efficient.
[28.06.2023 22:47:25] A/)-RV-Pentation: Salutations, Starflier vessels!
[28.06.2023 22:47:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: An excellent development. What of your home?
[28.06.2023 22:47:41] A/)-RV-Pentation: Research vessel Pentation en route to Valravn, over
[28.06.2023 22:47:58] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: But the bigger news is... we have obtained a "Hercules"-Class construction platform.
[28.06.2023 22:48:16] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Hello there!
[28.06.2023 22:48:21] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Ambitious.
[28.06.2023 22:48:36] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Greetings.
[28.06.2023 22:48:37] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We intend on rebuilding. I... intend on rebuilding.
[28.06.2023 22:49:04] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: I can help too, if you wish. In rebuilding, I mean.
[28.06.2023 22:49:35] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Do you have a location in mind?
[28.06.2023 22:49:50] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Appreciated, Harrison.
[28.06.2023 22:49:55] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I do.
[28.06.2023 22:50:38] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Within this system. Northern end, near the Cortez rift.
[28.06.2023 22:51:10] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Not a location we can recommend, if you mean next to the Cortez anomaly itsef.
[28.06.2023 22:51:36] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Close, but not within the minefield. I'm not trading radiation for explosives.
[28.06.2023 22:51:38] A/)-ACV-Achlys: C: However, we suggest it to be located in a more open space area
[28.06.2023 22:51:45] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The Ice Field may be detrimental
[28.06.2023 22:52:31] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I've had a pilot of mine fly around to get some data. We're thinking Sector F3, between that Junker spaceport...
[28.06.2023 22:52:40] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And the Cortez rift.
[28.06.2023 22:52:47] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: That's open space.
[28.06.2023 22:52:48] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: We will fully support your endeavour, however if you wish to construct more closer to Technocrat facilities, such as near
[28.06.2023 22:52:49] A/)-ACV-Achlys: Elgin
[28.06.2023 22:53:24] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: There must be Technocat Representative permitted to work aboard to ensure communication.
[28.06.2023 22:53:45] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Do you have any construction plans in mind? Or is this just a general hub for housing?
[28.06.2023 22:53:53] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: I agree, as that is no different to our agreement within Kepler.
[28.06.2023 22:54:34] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: No construction of any hardware, more a hub for information and research.
[28.06.2023 22:54:57] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Understood.
[28.06.2023 22:54:58] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Albert complains about not having his research wing anymore, since our exodus.
[28.06.2023 22:55:25] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And this time we may stick to a crew of 400. 800 in Kepler... too many lives at risk.
[28.06.2023 22:55:38] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Be wary of the possibility of Crayter and Bretonians harassing you. Though, arguably, more tolerable than a death storm.
[28.06.2023 22:55:57] A/)-RV-Pentation: Variant here. You do have a base in Kepler, Leon?
[28.06.2023 22:55:58] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Be sure to pass on information of the facility name on our private relay.
[28.06.2023 22:56:04] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: They had one.
[28.06.2023 22:56:17] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We essentially abandoned it.
[28.06.2023 22:56:25] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The ah... tsch... The other large facility behind Ames.
[28.06.2023 22:56:42] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: There's another?
[28.06.2023 22:56:50] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Your old one.
[28.06.2023 22:56:54] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Doesn't matter. I'm not going back there.
[28.06.2023 22:57:05] A/)-RV-Pentation: Why the decision to abandon your old base there?
[28.06.2023 22:57:18] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: The storm.
[28.06.2023 22:57:42] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: And the logitstical gymnastics for an independent group like ourselves.
[28.06.2023 22:58:03] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: We simply could not move that base, even piece by piece.
[28.06.2023 22:58:51] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Bright side is, we know what we're doing now with this. I'm glad I have your support on it.
[28.06.2023 22:59:28] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Of course. Do not forget to forward the details on our secure network.
[28.06.2023 22:59:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Was there anything else you needed?
[28.06.2023 23:00:09] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Not quite... just the operations update and about the new deployment prospect.
[28.06.2023 23:00:18] A/)-ACV-Cepheus: O: Patrol concluded, returning to the main platform for refueling and processing.
[28.06.2023 23:00:34] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Wonderful.
[28.06.2023 23:00:45] A/)-RV-Pentation: Salutations, freelancer
[28.06.2023 23:00:48] '\S/'Cygnus: Harrison: Hello, pilot!
[28.06.2023 23:00:52] Rebecca.Harper: Auxesian.
[28.06.2023 23:00:55] Rebecca.Harper: Uh,,,
[28.06.2023 23:01:00] A/)-Lazurith: New contact in-- oh.
[28.06.2023 23:01:00] Rebecca.Harper: Whoever the others are.
[28.06.2023 23:01:02] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: We'll be mooring now.
[28.06.2023 23:01:06] A/)-ACV-Achlys: V: Inquire as to why Harper is here.
[28.06.2023 23:01:08] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Explorers.
[28.06.2023 23:01:21] A/)-RV-Pentation: Explain your presence here, freelancer
[28.06.2023 23:01:26] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Wrong place wrong time for us, we'll be going.
[28.06.2023 23:01:41] Rebecca.Harper: Same thing as those guys.
[28.06.2023 23:01:53] Rebecca.Harper: Just "exploring".
[28.06.2023 23:02:12] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Best leave then, like us.
[28.06.2023 23:02:14] A/)-RV-Pentation: And by chance, you'd stumble near to Valravn willingly?
[28.06.2023 23:02:21] Rebecca.Harper: Valravn?
[28.06.2023 23:02:28] Rebecca.Harper: That's what you call this place?
[28.06.2023 23:02:35] Rebecca.Harper: Or is that the planet?
[28.06.2023 23:02:38] A/)-Revenant: Oh, the drinking partner of yours, Laz?
[28.06.2023 23:02:56] A/)-Lazurith: I don't... remember ever mentioning that little detail. But yes.
[28.06.2023 23:03:00] A/)-Lazurith: Hello, 'Becca.
[28.06.2023 23:03:02] A/)-Revenant: New Tokyo.
[28.06.2023 23:03:05] A/)-Revenant: That's when.
[28.06.2023 23:03:07] A/)-Lazurith: Been a while.
[28.06.2023 23:03:42] A/)-Revenant: You should probably move on over to the Freeport.
[28.06.2023 23:04:07] '\S/'Velorum: Leon: Revenant...? I guess their cloaked. Sure thing.
