APB - Unusual Activity

"Harbourship.NewDawn"
Type: Colony Ship
Classification: Potential Vector For Infection
Infection Type: Computer Virus
Notes: Vessel appears to be controlled by an artificial intelligence that is non-aligned with the Zoner community and is operating under a false flag, further communications with details attached. It is also worrisome that this 'Intelligence' appears to focus on K'hara sample gathering

Flight Logs

[16.06.2024 14:38:17] TFP)-Carmine: S: I wonder what kind of samples demand being bigger than a space station... Kinda getting hungry.
[16.06.2024 14:38:40] TFP)-Carmine: Greetings Gryphon!
[16.06.2024 14:38:41] TFP)-Catalyst!: So, captain uh... sorry, what's your name? Didn't catch that bit.
[16.06.2024 14:38:51] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: Samples of nomad tissue. The containers that they are being sealed within take up much greater space than the sample itself-
[16.06.2024 14:38:52] Harbourship.NewDawn: does.
[16.06.2024 14:38:59] TFP)-Catalyst!: Oh, another colony ship. Swell.
[16.06.2024 14:39:03] TFP)-Carmine: S.: Just how many do you have!?
[16.06.2024 14:39:13] SLRC-HV>Gryphon: Sean: Evening
[16.06.2024 14:39:50] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: My name is Aurora, artificial intelligence in charge of the New Dawn. To fully answer your question regarding the Corvos-
[16.06.2024 14:40:14] Harbourship.NewDawn: class ships, while they are built for years, perhaps decades, this ship was required to uphold for centuries or even longer.
[16.06.2024 14:40:58] TFP)-Catalyst!: Right...
[16.06.2024 14:41:45] TFP)-Catalyst!: So, listen. Lieutenant Carmine and I are with Task Force Prometheus. Dunno how much she's told ya so far but we--
[16.06.2024 14:42:03] TFP)-Catalyst!: --aren't really a full part of the Technocracy. They're just our hosts right now.
[16.06.2024 14:42:21] TFP)-Catalyst!: So enforcin' their rules and regulations ain't fully within our remit.
[16.06.2024 14:42:23] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: She was rather restrictive with the information that she could offer. But she did mention your goals.
[16.06.2024 14:42:37] TFP)-Carmine: S: I believe I've informed so in multiple communications. Alas I recently discovered Zoner communications are rather fragmented
[16.06.2024 14:42:48] TFP)-Catalyst!: Much like the Zoners themselves.
[16.06.2024 14:43:16] SLRC-HV>Gryphon: Sean: That is how things tend to work out on the edge
[16.06.2024 14:43:19] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: I see that your faction shares more similarities with this ship. The Zoners are merely a 'host' for this vessel as well.
[16.06.2024 14:43:46] AXCI-593021-Pakal: <:: /We/ 'The Mighty Pakal' have come {!} | Assessing scenario... ::>
[16.06.2024 14:44:02] TFP)-Catalyst!: [A barely-contained groan.]
[16.06.2024 14:44:03] TFP)-Carmine: S: Can I speak frankly, madam Fleet Captain?
[16.06.2024 14:44:07] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: The New Dawn requires neutrality with most parties of Sirius to be able to freely operate in proximity to house space.
[16.06.2024 14:44:17] TFP)-Catalyst!: Granted, lieutenant.
[16.06.2024 14:44:52] TFP)-Carmine: S: I believe they were fed misleading information. Venus is in no capacity to speak for the Technocracy to my knowledge.
[16.06.2024 14:45:04] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: Technocracy vessels, long range scanners are detecting an ion storm. I'd recommend seeking shelter in due time.
[16.06.2024 14:45:22] TFP)-Catalyst!: Aye, we're just after getting the ping from Valravn ourselves.
[16.06.2024 14:45:53] TFP)-Carmine: S: To continue speaking frankly, ma'am I believe they have not come here to fire in anger, and should be offered harbor like-
[16.06.2024 14:45:59] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: Once the storm has passed I'll remain in the Freeport's proximity, should you desire to continue this conversation.
[16.06.2024 14:46:00] TFP)-Carmine: - any other innocent in the war.
[16.06.2024 14:46:20] TFP)-Carmine: S: That is all. Thank you, ma'am Fleet Captain!
[16.06.2024 14:46:39] TFP)-Catalyst!: "They" as in Venus or the New Dawn?
[16.06.2024 14:47:12] TFP)-Carmine: S: New Dawn, ma'am. We have no right to detain them on Freeport territory regardness, and should probably move these talks-
[16.06.2024 14:47:22] BAF|Cdre.Martin.Beck' perished at Gold-hunter's hands (77%)
[16.06.2024 14:47:24] TFP)-Carmine: - to a spot with anti-hangover pills and new drinks.
[16.06.2024 14:47:40] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: I would say Carmine is correct in her assessment. In no way do I intend on harming the locals or intrude on their boundries.
[16.06.2024 14:48:00] TFP)-Catalyst!: Nobody is bein' detained, lieutenant. The not-Zoners are free to leave any time bloody please.
[16.06.2024 14:48:08] [OOC] TFP)-Catalyst!: any time they*
[16.06.2024 14:48:10] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: If anything, I intend on forming a mutually beneficial relationship with more parties within Sirius.
[16.06.2024 14:48:33] TFP)-Catalyst!: Sure. Prometheus might be interested in that, however I don't have the authority to make guarantees.
[16.06.2024 14:48:41] TFP)-Carmine: S: I'm sorry to have spoken out of line, Fleet Captain! Ion storm is on sensors. I believe we don't have much left to dock.
[16.06.2024 14:48:46] TFP)-Catalyst!: I guess the important thing, uh, is.
[16.06.2024 14:48:58] TFP)-Catalyst!: It's best if your ship stays outside Valravn's perimeter.
[16.06.2024 14:49:00] TFP)-Catalyst!: Twenty klicks.
[16.06.2024 14:49:10] TFP)-Catalyst!: We've gotta help enforce that much at least.
[16.06.2024 14:49:21] TFP)-Carmine: S: Allow me to fly escort for the Zoner vessels, ma'am!
[16.06.2024 14:49:26] Harbourship.NewDawn: A: I'd recommend for us to dock immediately ere the Ion storm hits us.
[16.06.2024 14:49:33] TFP)-Catalyst!: Aye, sure.
