Report: Hispania Gravesite Encounter
Stardate: 07.03.835

---

It appears that the name of Malta is not feared as it should be. We have striven recently to amend that, yet it appears that some have not gotten the memo.

And so we decided to remedy that.

Two days ago I was patrolling Omicron Alpha when I noticed radio chatter emanating from the Hispania Debris Field. I decided to make sure that it was only our brethren and not outsiders intruding on our fortress.

When I arrived there were three Zoners - [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben, [MFE]~Penicillin, and The.Darkstar.Monarch lounging in the graves of our ancestors. They did not seem very receptive to my presence until more of our brothers, the HS>Eliminador, MNS-Pescara, and Rico[404th] arrived. We learned that they had been dealing with a "medical emergency" yet it did not appear so much an emergency as a convenient "meetup place" as they themselves put it. One of the ships even had mining equipment on them. It was at this time the GCC|Amalfi and a Sabre pilot Carlo.De.Santis arrived, and we furthered the investigation.

Given that they were outsiders who had trespassed just outside of Malta, even more so the sacred ruins of the Hispania, and they were not an expected ally nor a Cardamine hauler, we gave them the boot. We crippled the ship with the mining equipment and ejected it back to the Tau systems, and ransomed the other two trespassers. A detailed log of the encounter can be found below

HISPANIA ENCOUNTER

[05.03.2025 23:13:45] The.Darkstar.Monarch: *Iseabell opens a small vidfeed from the now exploded Waran, showing what may look like a alien creature of sorts*
[05.03.2025 23:13:56] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: I assume that`s the reason, yes ?
[05.03.2025 23:14:14] HS>Acechador: J: This is the Outcast warship Acechador. You are in Maltese space, identify yourselves at once.
[05.03.2025 23:14:34] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Yeah...that is a known sight...
[05.03.2025 23:14:45] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Hm? Oh...great, the locals.
[05.03.2025 23:15:06] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: this is the Medfoce Frigatte Penicillin. We have some Medical Buisness over here.
[05.03.2025 23:15:31] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: That would be the case, in a way.
[05.03.2025 23:15:41] HS>Acechador: J: You enter into the homeworld and you wonder why the owners show up.
[05.03.2025 23:15:52] HS>Acechador: J: Your medical business holds no grounds here, Zoners.
[05.03.2025 23:15:55] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Just stating, not wondering.
[05.03.2025 23:16:15] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well if you knock on someones frontdoor, its bound that someone will open.
[05.03.2025 23:16:46] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: And not our fault that someone collapsed in front of said door. We simply followed the emergency call.
[05.03.2025 23:16:51] HS>Acechador: J: There was never any knocking done. Maybe in that case we would have let you in willingly.
[05.03.2025 23:17:42] HS>Acechador: J: Then its not your problem when some sciocco winds up where they shouldn't be
[05.03.2025 23:17:46] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: we needed a quiet place to do our work and the Hisapania is a quiet as they come.
[05.03.2025 23:18:06] HS>Acechador: J: You're in a gravesite. Of course its quiet.
[05.03.2025 23:18:13] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Indeed.
[05.03.2025 23:18:21] HS>Acechador: J: Downside of doing your work in a gravesite is that the locals don't tend to like it very much.
[05.03.2025 23:18:22] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Fratella, I see savages around Hispania.
[05.03.2025 23:19:04] HS>Acechador: J: These irreverent fools decided to conduct a search and rescue operation in our ancestors graves.
[05.03.2025 23:19:11] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Now savages is a very strong word to use here.
[05.03.2025 23:19:17] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Aren`t MFE is under Detterence protectorate? It would be even more stupid to come then.
[05.03.2025 23:19:22] HS>Acechador: J: Without so much as a thought of introduction to the locals.
[05.03.2025 23:19:25] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: we try not to disturb the dead sir. we are just doing our job.
[05.03.2025 23:19:27] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *with narrowed eyes, Hans takes a long drag from his cigar*
[05.03.2025 23:19:32] HS>Acechador: J: Are they now? [grins]
[05.03.2025 23:19:35] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Pendejo! You in a saints tomb and telling me what to say!
[05.03.2025 23:19:46] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: We simply required a quiet place to have a little chat between the three of us.
[05.03.2025 23:20:00] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: You think that`a a kind of bar or park, fool?!
[05.03.2025 23:20:02] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: We have a Medical Academy in Omicron Theta but we are a Neutral Entity. I have Treated as many Outcasts as i have treated-
[05.03.2025 23:20:07] [MFE]~Penicillin: --Corsairs in my Life.
[05.03.2025 23:20:29] HS>Acechador: J: This is no quiet place for a meeting, and this is no safe haven either.
[05.03.2025 23:20:31] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Not to mention our involvement in the recent battle at Sigma 15...
[05.03.2025 23:20:34] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Si, you see how that one is lying, how otherwise you would be located so close to Corsairs territory.
[05.03.2025 23:20:35] MNS-Pescara: C: Reinforcements have arrived
[05.03.2025 23:20:54] Death: Vagranomadrinds was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[05.03.2025 23:20:55] Rico[404th]: A hostile target has been detected on the radar. Everyone take your battle stations
[05.03.2025 23:21:02] HS>Acechador: J: Easy, Rico.
[05.03.2025 23:21:16] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: I am awaiting to permission of execution those bustards, I may then dump corpses with a message for other MFE near the-
[05.03.2025 23:21:17] HS>Eliminador: -ir base.
[05.03.2025 23:21:17] MNS-Pescara: C: Report status
[05.03.2025 23:21:32] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: Hostile? We? We are not your Enemy.
[05.03.2025 23:21:46] HS>Acechador: J: These irreverent fools have disturbed our ancestors graves and roll around in them as a meeting spot.
[05.03.2025 23:21:59] HS>Acechador: J: In our homeworld, without so much as a "by your leave".
[05.03.2025 23:22:06] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: for Hippocrates Sake we are a Neutral Medical Company. You realy shouldnt shoot a Doctor you never know when you need one.
[05.03.2025 23:22:13] HS>Acechador: J: Talk about playing with fire.
[05.03.2025 23:22:28] HS>Acechador: J: Neutral doesn't mean anything in the Edge Worlds, Doctor.
[05.03.2025 23:22:28] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Look friends, we`re almost done anyway. So maybe you fine folks could simply show us off and we will never bother you again.
[05.03.2025 23:22:45] HS>Acechador: J: And why would we let you off this easy, hmm?
[05.03.2025 23:22:51] HS>Acechador: J: Actions have consequences.
[05.03.2025 23:22:57] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: And maybe we can also leave something...as compensation for our offence against your ancestors...right?
[05.03.2025 23:22:59] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: That is indeed true.
[05.03.2025 23:23:18] GCC|Amalfi: F: Buonasera. What are these Zoners doing in here?
[05.03.2025 23:23:25] HS>Acechador: J: [sigh]
[05.03.2025 23:23:34] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: i remember that we trained some HS Doctors and Nurses a Couple Years ago. My Fiance John Holiday told me about it.
[05.03.2025 23:23:35] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: They are close to met their end, just wait for the order.
[05.03.2025 23:23:38] HS>Acechador: J: Rolling around in the graves of the dead.
[05.03.2025 23:23:41] HS>Acechador: J: Amalfi.
[05.03.2025 23:24:02] GCC|Amalfi: F: Have they asked you for permission?
[05.03.2025 23:24:07] HS>Acechador: J: Negative.
[05.03.2025 23:24:27] HS>Acechador: J: And they were a little less amiable when it was just me here.
[05.03.2025 23:24:30] HS>Acechador: J: I will say.
[05.03.2025 23:24:34] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Apologies, but no one answered our call when we entered Alpha. So we went to the site of the emergency without second thought.
[05.03.2025 23:24:39] [MFE]~Penicillin: *the woman looked Kusarian and had a litle Cat on her lap. But her Skin tone looked as if she was a Hispanic.
[05.03.2025 23:24:56] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Without second thought! *laughs* Are. You. That. Dumb.
[05.03.2025 23:24:59] HS>Acechador: J: Hermanos, what do you think.
[05.03.2025 23:25:03] GCC|Amalfi: F: You can ask in advance, Signora.
[05.03.2025 23:25:16] HS>Acechador: J: Should we kill them all right here or ask for some credits and show them out?
[05.03.2025 23:25:26] GCC|Amalfi: F: I am fairly sure that you certainly know how the Neural Net works.
[05.03.2025 23:25:33] HS>Acechador: J: It would have to be a pretty coin to let them live.
[05.03.2025 23:25:37] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: well i appologice for our Behaviour. We should have been more Presistant with our Calls.
[05.03.2025 23:25:37] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Consequences *chuckles*, you said it, si.
[05.03.2025 23:26:15] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Apologies that an /emergency/ does not leave you the time for a visit request of the damn web.
[05.03.2025 23:26:18] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: i sadly dont have much money on me. but this ship is a mobile medical Factory so i could pay in Medicine.
[05.03.2025 23:26:22] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Kinda contradicts the situation.
[05.03.2025 23:26:36] HS>Acechador: J: You can always leave the emergency for us, Senor.
[05.03.2025 23:26:45] HS>Acechador: J: At least in that case there will only be one. [smiles]
[05.03.2025 23:26:45] GCC|Amalfi: F: We do not need your medicine. You do not know how to cure our kind.
[05.03.2025 23:26:55] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: oh i didnt knew your a Trained Doctor?
[05.03.2025 23:27:19] GCC|Amalfi: F: We have our own doctors, who are fully aware about our altered physiology.
[05.03.2025 23:27:43] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: and do they are also aware of the normal Physiology?
[05.03.2025 23:27:46] [MFE]~Penicillin: ?
[05.03.2025 23:28:08] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Please ladys and gentelmen antagnizing doesnt help in this very situation. We appoligize profusely for this disgression -
[05.03.2025 23:28:25] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: and will see ourself out, yes.
[05.03.2025 23:28:38] HS>Acechador: J: What happened to that medical emergency of yours? If there ever was one
[05.03.2025 23:28:41] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *sighs and shakes head, awaiting the final verdict*
[05.03.2025 23:28:52] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Maybe we can meet over a nice sum of unregistered income to your bank accounts ?
[05.03.2025 23:29:07] HS>Acechador: J: Now we're talking.
[05.03.2025 23:29:17] GCC|Amalfi: F: -You- entered our home without invitation, and now you talk about antagonization?
[05.03.2025 23:29:23] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: the Patient is on board of my ship and is in the Medical Ward right now. She haves a Heavy Concusion from a broken steam--
[05.03.2025 23:29:40] Carlo.De.Santis: Greetings brothers and sisters. Sitrep?
[05.03.2025 23:29:44] [MFE]~Penicillin: --pipe as well as some Burns of the Skin. Nasty Buisness.
[05.03.2025 23:30:03] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Carlo, proceed to maintain perimeter around Hispania.
[05.03.2025 23:30:31] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: So, the aforementioned tidy sum...
[05.03.2025 23:30:47] HS>Acechador: J: Hermanos. Kill or plunder?
[05.03.2025 23:30:59] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: They can pay only in blood.
[05.03.2025 23:31:05] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: My knife is ready.
[05.03.2025 23:31:11] HS>Acechador: J: I vote we plunder these fools and send them off.
[05.03.2025 23:31:13] Carlo.De.Santis: They're just a bunch of Zoners. What's the deal?
[05.03.2025 23:31:33] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Bunch of zoners casually around our grave, what next, let`s invite DSE there?
[05.03.2025 23:31:44] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: *sighs* Could we please not resort to violence? We dont have to make this bigger than it needs to be.
[05.03.2025 23:31:46] HS>Acechador: J: Pescara, Amalfi?
[05.03.2025 23:31:48] Carlo.De.Santis: Did they explain themselves?
[05.03.2025 23:32:10] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: we have not touched the Holy Gravesite.
[05.03.2025 23:32:27] GCC|Amalfi: F: Then why are you here with mining tools?
[05.03.2025 23:32:40] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well i would assume if you destroy these ships you may gain something but wouldnt it be wiser to let us be and get -
[05.03.2025 23:32:53] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: a steady source of income instead ?
[05.03.2025 23:32:54] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: this is not a Mining Ship. Well it was one once. We modified it to be a Mobile Medical Factory.
[05.03.2025 23:33:00] MNS-Pescara: C: Release the doctors, destroy the escort
[05.03.2025 23:33:13] HS>Acechador: J: Mm. Interesting idea.
[05.03.2025 23:33:17] Carlo.De.Santis: That's a fair point actually, I can see two ships with mining equipment.
[05.03.2025 23:33:22] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: its now a Medical Frigate and Produces Medicine and Delivers Medical Care to those in need.
[05.03.2025 23:33:32] GCC|Amalfi: F: Stop lying. You have a mining array on your vessel, Penicillin. Are you trying to tell me that it is just a syringe gun?
[05.03.2025 23:34:13] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Freunde, while your ire is understandable, and you demand retribution, could you at least spare the human lives when-
[05.03.2025 23:34:13] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: no that is a leftover of its original Purpose. Nothing More. Scann us and you see these Pods are full of Medical Equipment.
[05.03.2025 23:34:27] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: -destroying these ships? We can take them on board...
[05.03.2025 23:34:43] [MFE]~Penicillin: *she was indeed telling the Truth. One pod was a Hospital and the others were full of Factory tools to produce medicine.*
[05.03.2025 23:34:53] HS>Acechador: J: We can always just kill them if they enter again.
[05.03.2025 23:35:08] GCC|Amalfi: F: Two mining vessels, actually. The Monarch also has a mining array.
[05.03.2025 23:35:13] Carlo.De.Santis: Yep.
[05.03.2025 23:35:13] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Oh, you bet that we will not enter Alpha again...without permission.
[05.03.2025 23:35:14] HS>Acechador: J: Though I would enjoy some target practice.
[05.03.2025 23:35:31] MNS-Pescara: C: We need an offrering to the ancestors
[05.03.2025 23:35:38] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: hai we are not returning after this.
[05.03.2025 23:35:55] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well you see that is what you get when you refurbish and old junker vessel. You take whats on it.
[05.03.2025 23:36:13] Carlo.De.Santis: You'll deal with the consequences, as well.
[05.03.2025 23:36:19] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Fratellas, are we indeed those who we are? Nevery could a stranger be so long alive after being that disrespectful.
[05.03.2025 23:36:23] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Replacement of equipment isnt so easy on this old rusty junkers, you see.
[05.03.2025 23:36:52] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Sometimes the equipment straight out doesnt get produced anymore.
[05.03.2025 23:37:01] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: Please let us resolve that peacefully. Name your Price and we will see that it is paid.
[05.03.2025 23:37:31] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *Hans just sits there now, with crossed arms and a frown* [...]
[05.03.2025 23:37:44] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: ...what the ladies say.
[05.03.2025 23:38:18] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: MFE is not your Enemy. We helped the Maltese in the past after as we helped others as well.
[05.03.2025 23:38:39] Carlo.De.Santis: I'd like to hear how exactly did the MFE help our kind.
[05.03.2025 23:38:42] GCC|Amalfi: F: You can ask for credits and shoot some bits off the miner.
[05.03.2025 23:39:21] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: For example, by patching up wounded pilots, regardless of their affiliations? There has been a fair amount of Outcasts among-
[05.03.2025 23:39:30] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: well i have some Maltese Patients after all. And whenever there are medical Emergancies we are jumping into the breach.
[05.03.2025 23:39:39] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: -them. In our facilities, on Freeports, and our ships in the Omicrons.
[05.03.2025 23:39:58] HS>Acechador: J: Approaching ship. Identify yourself at once.
[05.03.2025 23:40:05] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: You should have thought about morales before entering graves.
[05.03.2025 23:40:08] Carlo.De.Santis: I find that very hard to believe given our pilots require special care.
[05.03.2025 23:40:11] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: we even hired some Maltese Pepole to work for MFE.
[05.03.2025 23:40:23] Edison.Hart: Hello there
[05.03.2025 23:40:31] GCC|Amalfi: F: Hired Outcasts for the MFE? Stop lying.
[05.03.2025 23:40:55] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *massages temples* My god...
[05.03.2025 23:40:57] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Edison.Hart, freelancer. Noone can go there without permission. State you purpose or be destroyed.
[05.03.2025 23:41:09] HS>Acechador: J: If you did I reckon we would have known about it. Outcasts don't lend their services to others.
[05.03.2025 23:41:13] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: We hire anyone that wants to help others and that works as a Doctor, Nurse or in a other Capaities.
[05.03.2025 23:41:14] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Failing to comply ANY of my orders will be resulted in your death.
[05.03.2025 23:41:21] Edison.Hart: i'm just traweling
[05.03.2025 23:41:27] GCC|Amalfi: F: Penicillin - if you wish to live, stop your lies. I do not like liars.
[05.03.2025 23:42:07] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: *sighs* Why for Hippocrates Sake should i lie to the Pepole that basicly hold a gun to my head? i am not Stupid.
[05.03.2025 23:42:26] GCC|Amalfi: F: Because Outcasts do not work for other factions.
[05.03.2025 23:42:40] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Edison, come here.
[05.03.2025 23:42:51] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Isabella...dear colleague. Maybe we should focus on the mentioned compensation for these fine folks, instead of...anything else
[05.03.2025 23:42:57] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Here denares. Buy cardamine and travel back to Manhattan, you understand?
[05.03.2025 23:42:58] [MFE]~Penicillin: *she sends over some Basic Personal Files and some of the names are Maltese and have the Origin of Malta.*
[05.03.2025 23:43:07] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: See for yourself then.
[05.03.2025 23:43:26] Edison.Hart: Thanks sir
[05.03.2025 23:44:12] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Plus one smuggler. Si.
[05.03.2025 23:44:40] GCC|Amalfi: F: Destroy the Penicillin, let the rest of them go.
[05.03.2025 23:44:46] The.Darkstar.Monarch: *The woman sighs deeply*
[05.03.2025 23:44:54] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: *chuckles*
[05.03.2025 23:44:57] Carlo.De.Santis: Wilco.
[05.03.2025 23:45:01] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: what the hell? Just because i tell the Truth?
[05.03.2025 23:45:02] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Hans drop the prototype components.
[05.03.2025 23:45:11] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *rolls eyes* ...
[05.03.2025 23:45:23] HS>Acechador: J: The rest of you will need to transfer 8,000 credits to each of our vessels here, for your insolence.
[05.03.2025 23:45:32] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: If you still want to live, I do value techs.
[05.03.2025 23:45:39] HS>Acechador: J: And you will be escorted out alive to Tau 37.
[05.03.2025 23:45:40] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Si.
[05.03.2025 23:46:02] HS>Acechador: J: Penicillin, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. I suggest you jump into your escape pods.
[05.03.2025 23:46:05] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: the attack on a Medical Ship is a War Crime and i can promise you that you will never get help from MFE Again if you do--
[05.03.2025 23:46:07] HS>Acechador: J: Before you are forced to.
[05.03.2025 23:46:08] [MFE]~Penicillin: this.
[05.03.2025 23:46:13] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Can we make it 15.000 credits, and you let the crew and Captain of the Penecilin live?
[05.03.2025 23:46:16] Carlo.De.Santis: WE are the law here.
[05.03.2025 23:46:20] HS>Acechador: J: War crimes? [chuckles]
[05.03.2025 23:46:26] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: A miner vessel. Proceeding to engage in 10 seconds.
[05.03.2025 23:46:32] Carlo.De.Santis: Your status won't save you.
[05.03.2025 23:46:38] GCC|Amalfi: F: No, I found her annoying and disrespectful.
[05.03.2025 23:46:42] HS>Acechador: J: On your lead, Amalfi.
[05.03.2025 23:46:43] Carlo.De.Santis: Ready to keep it pinned.
[05.03.2025 23:46:44] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Pescara, you have permission to destroy a miner vessel Penicillin. Execute.
[05.03.2025 23:46:51] MNS-Pescara: C: Entering to battle mode
[05.03.2025 23:46:53] HS>Acechador: J: The rest of you stay put and everything will be just fine
[05.03.2025 23:46:58] [MFE]~Penicillin: Isa: RETURN FIREE
[05.03.2025 23:47:29] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well that is ..... unfortunate.
[05.03.2025 23:47:38] GCC|Amalfi: F: She asked for it.
[05.03.2025 23:47:43] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *finishes smoking the cigar, and grinds the glowing stump into the ash tray* ...you don't say, Miss.
[05.03.2025 23:48:07] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Yeah sure but how about i buy her freedom, yes ?
[05.03.2025 23:48:46] HS>Acechador: J: Wonderful.
[05.03.2025 23:49:03] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: If there's a deal for Isa's life later on, I bet the Outcasts will eb the ones to contact us...
[05.03.2025 23:49:14] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: No sense in offering deals right now. Might jsut annoy them further.
[05.03.2025 23:49:18] HS>Acechador: J: We'll keep you informed of any updates.
[05.03.2025 23:49:25] HS>Acechador: J: Feel free to ask any time.
[05.03.2025 23:49:39] HS>Acechador: J: As for the moment. I believe you have a ransom to pay for yourselves first.
[05.03.2025 23:49:40] Carlo.De.Santis: She's going down.
[05.03.2025 23:49:51] MNS-Pescara: C: Exit battle mode
[05.03.2025 23:49:52] HS>Acechador: J: 8,000 to each of our vessels. And then you can leave to Tau-37.
[05.03.2025 23:50:14] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: A shame indeed.....indeed.
[05.03.2025 23:50:25] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *growls a few Rheinland curses under his breath* ...fine then.
[05.03.2025 23:50:30] GCC|Amalfi: F: I do not need anything from these two. They have been respectful enough.
[05.03.2025 23:50:38] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well we better do this monetary exchange then doctor goeben.
[05.03.2025 23:50:40] HS>Acechador: J: Very well then. Minus the Amalfi.
[05.03.2025 23:51:04] HS>Acechador: J: It's just business, Senor Goeben.
[05.03.2025 23:51:10] [2025-03-05] 23:51:13 You have received 10.000 credits from The.Darkstar.Monarch
[05.03.2025 23:51:18] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *booting up credit account system* Sure is, Freundchen...
[05.03.2025 23:51:23] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Alright, first, you...
[05.03.2025 23:51:50] GCC|Amalfi: F: Keep your credits, per favore. I did not ask for them.
[05.03.2025 23:52:04] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Well as you wish then.
[05.03.2025 23:52:18] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Hmm...that's all who asked for credits and are currently present here.
[05.03.2025 23:52:19] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: I am still waiting for 92000 denares.
[05.03.2025 23:52:33] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: ...excuse you?
[05.03.2025 23:52:33] HS>Acechador: J: It was 8000, Eliminador.
[05.03.2025 23:52:39] HS>Acechador: J: Not 100,000. They paid the proper amount.
[05.03.2025 23:52:41] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: No it was 92000.
[05.03.2025 23:52:47] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: But do tell youre friends here i did at least try to comply, yes.
[05.03.2025 23:53:03] HS>Acechador: J: Carlos. Pescara. If you want your credits you should get over here.
[05.03.2025 23:53:16] Carlo.De.Santis: It's Carlo.
[05.03.2025 23:53:30] HS>Acechador: J: I'll keep that in mind.
[05.03.2025 23:53:33] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: *laughs*
[05.03.2025 23:53:38] GCC|Amalfi: F: I have no complaints about you two - well, aside your uninvited presence. Yet, we have solved that already.
[05.03.2025 23:54:00] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *glares at the Eliminador* ...we'll first serve your two amigos before coming back to your demand.
[05.03.2025 23:54:01] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: That would be so, indeed.
[05.03.2025 23:55:05] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Alright. Four payments, 32.000 credits in total.
[05.03.2025 23:55:09] Carlo.De.Santis: Fee confirmed.
[05.03.2025 23:55:09] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: So i assume everyone is present for this little exchange, yes ? Wonderfull, indeed.
[05.03.2025 23:55:10] HS>Acechador: J: Very good.
[05.03.2025 23:55:17] HS>Acechador: J: Well, with that all sorted.
[05.03.2025 23:55:19] HS>Acechador: J: Follow me.
[05.03.2025 23:55:22] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: Start moving, pendejos.
[05.03.2025 23:55:37] HS>Acechador: J: Let's get you out of this death trap.
[05.03.2025 23:55:38] MNS-Pescara: C: I will spend this money to honor my ancestors
[05.03.2025 23:55:48] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *simply nods with a sour face* ...safe skies then.
[05.03.2025 23:56:12] HS>Acechador: J: It's nothing personal, Zoners.
[05.03.2025 23:56:16] HS>Acechador: J: It's just business.
[05.03.2025 23:56:19] HS>Acechador: J: Here you are.
[05.03.2025 23:56:26] HS>Eliminador: Matteo: We should consider installing a bar near Hispania now, Achechador, we will get a lot of tourists now.
[05.03.2025 23:56:33] HS>Acechador: J: In you go. Safe skies you two.
[05.03.2025 23:56:40] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Same to you then.
[05.03.2025 23:56:52] The.Darkstar.Monarch: I: Farewell, indeed. Then

We also met a lone Corsair gunboat. It was dispatched quickly in a fiery duel to the death, yet it emphasizes the need for greater security on our borders.

CORSAIR ENCOUNTER

[06.03.2025 00:02:39] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: Finally, a blood will be spilled *inhales*
[06.03.2025 00:03:00] Carlo.De.Santis: Isn't it a rather concerning timing to see a Corsair gunship inbound when a bunch of zoners tresspassed a moment ago?
[06.03.2025 00:03:04] GCC|Amalfi: F: It is too small for my yacht.
[06.03.2025 00:03:08] Asesino[TBH]: Zoners?
[06.03.2025 00:03:19] Asesino[TBH]: Hold on amigo, you saw Zoners here?
[06.03.2025 00:03:27] HS>Acechador: J: Saw in and saw out.
[06.03.2025 00:03:37] Carlo.De.Santis: Formerly alive zoners.
[06.03.2025 00:03:41] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: That's who I was looking for.
[06.03.2025 00:03:51] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Guess I know what happened here.
[06.03.2025 00:04:19] GCC|Amalfi: F: Looking for them - in our home system?
[06.03.2025 00:04:38] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Not specifically here. I figured they would come through here.
[06.03.2025 00:04:49] HS>Acechador: J: Let me get this straight -
[06.03.2025 00:04:54] HS>Acechador: J: You came here looking for Zoners.
[06.03.2025 00:05:10] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: They came through Theta not long ago as I understand it
[06.03.2025 00:05:26] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: A freelancer pointed me in this direction
[06.03.2025 00:05:31] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: But they evaded me
[06.03.2025 00:05:37] Carlo.De.Santis: And what do you care about those zoners?
[06.03.2025 00:05:44] HS>Acechador: J: What was the Freelancers name?
[06.03.2025 00:05:51] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Well suffice it to say hermano, that business is mine.
[06.03.2025 00:06:05] HS>Acechador: J: Worth a try.
[06.03.2025 00:06:10] Carlo.De.Santis: I'm not your brother.
[06.03.2025 00:06:24] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: A friendly turn of phrase in a tense situation.
[06.03.2025 00:06:26] HS>Acechador: J: Maybe you would be more inclined to talk if we shredded your metal armour off your ship.
[06.03.2025 00:06:35] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Dont count on it
[06.03.2025 00:06:44] HS>Acechador: J: Does that sound better, Corsair?
[06.03.2025 00:07:07] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Although I may not survive, I wont hand over any information. Regardless of threats or bribes.
[06.03.2025 00:07:28] HS>Acechador: J: A heroic one.
[06.03.2025 00:07:35] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: I didn't come for a fight. No heroics. Just a search.
[06.03.2025 00:07:43] GCC|Amalfi: F: The Corsairs are fearless, almost suicidal.
[06.03.2025 00:07:49] HS>Acechador: J: You came to search in the wrong place.
[06.03.2025 00:07:52] Carlo.De.Santis: So I heard...
[06.03.2025 00:08:07] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: A gamble, indeed. A gamble I seem to have lost.
[06.03.2025 00:08:09] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: *inhales* blood to spill.
[06.03.2025 00:08:17] HS>Acechador: J: We killed a Zoner for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why should we be more lenient with you?
[06.03.2025 00:08:31] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: well then I suppose you did me a favor
[06.03.2025 00:09:01] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: Wait. *exhale* Brotherhood right?
[06.03.2025 00:09:05] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Quite the montley crew you've assembled for little ol me
[06.03.2025 00:09:12] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Brotherhood indeed
[06.03.2025 00:09:26] HS>Acechador: J: If it makes you feel better, this was for the Zoners, not you, Corsair.
[06.03.2025 00:09:26] GCC|Amalfi: F: I will just watch, for now.
[06.03.2025 00:09:30] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: Tell us something from you neural net database. Which zoner group are in any alliances with you.
[06.03.2025 00:09:42] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: If those indeed exist.
[06.03.2025 00:09:57] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: I wouldn't know, I'm just a Soldato. A newbie.
[06.03.2025 00:10:04] Rules Tip: If you die to another player, you must not only leave and not re-enter the system you died in for one hour, but you must also not attack the players you died to for one hour on ANY of your characters.
[06.03.2025 00:10:08] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: *inhales*.... Useless.
[06.03.2025 00:10:20] Carlo.De.Santis: You'd point barrels on someone over the word of a corsair, Mateo?
[06.03.2025 00:10:20] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Useless with some fangs all the same.
[06.03.2025 00:10:59] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: I like your attitude Matteo. I've heard of the Outcasts bloodlust. Brings a tear to my eye.
[06.03.2025 00:11:30] HS>Acechador: J: How nice to be loved.
[06.03.2025 00:11:36] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: *exhales* Indeed.
[06.03.2025 00:11:59] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: So how do you want to play this
[06.03.2025 00:12:13] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Tear me to shreds, maybe I take one with me, or walk away
[06.03.2025 00:12:34] HS>Acechador: J: I tear your ship apart and give you a tour of the plantations of Malta.
[06.03.2025 00:12:41] HS>Acechador: J: You put up enough of a fight to entertain me.
[06.03.2025 00:12:46] HS>Acechador: J: Sound like a plan?
[06.03.2025 00:12:48] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: So be it.
[06.03.2025 00:13:03] HS>Acechador: J: Very well. To the fittest Hispanian.
[06.03.2025 00:13:06] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: Achechador be kind to show us... Slaughter. Blood. Death. Dance on the edge of blade.
[06.03.2025 00:14:39] HS>Acechador: J: Target destroyed.
[06.03.2025 00:14:40] Asesino[TBH]: CDK: Long live the corsairs
[06.03.2025 00:14:41] Asesino[TBH] died to HS>Acechador(100%)
[06.03.2025 00:14:55] GCC|Amalfi: F: Mhm, that was fast.
[06.03.2025 00:14:58] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: *inhales* pathetic. Just no shit we don`t have fun today.
[06.03.2025 00:15:00] Carlo.De.Santis: That was quick, indeed.
[06.03.2025 00:15:04] GCC|Amalfi: F: He truly was a recruit.
[06.03.2025 00:15:16] Carlo.De.Santis: They sent him to die.
[06.03.2025 00:15:19] HS>Acechador: J: Perhaps there will be better luck next time, Senor Espada.
[06.03.2025 00:15:28] HS>Matteo.Espada: Matteo: *exhales* yes.
[06.03.2025 00:15:40] HS>Acechador: J: Safe skies, Amalfi, Carlo. Espada.
[06.03.2025 00:15:51] GCC|Amalfi: F: Arrivederci, Acechador.
[06.03.2025 00:15:54] HS>Acechador: J: We will be taking our ship to the Orange plains of Malta.

Perhaps these may serve as a warning to others who would think about acting so irreverently in our borders. Malta must remain a citadel for our people and allies alone.

Arrivederci, fratelli.
