OMEGAS UNDERCOVER- 1ST JOINT INVESTIGATION
This report is a summary of our squad's activities in the Omegas so far. Agents Nakagawa. Amhrad, Seer, and I gathered near Freeport 5 and met with the Hunter, Balzer. We stayed in system until we recieved a substantial lead from the Freeport's passerby's. We received such a lead from a pair of Gallic haulers; one IDF and the other GMS. Their testimony is recorded in the blackbox attachment to this report, but, in summary, they told us that their convoy was attacked by vessels matching the description of an expected infectee portfolio- alien weaponry and nonfunctional transponders.
So, after the merchants went on their way, we agreed to set course for Omega-3, where the Gallic traders said they saw these attackers. We found no sign of these attackers nor did we pick up any leads in-system. However, since the merchants said they were coming from Dublin at the time, we decided to continue our investigation there. We passed through Coalition space, where we were stopped by a Coalition Carrier for a routine scan. The carrier let us pass without incident.
Upon arriving in Dublin, we found little out of the ordinary. Wrecks of Bretonian, Molly, an Coalition ships littered the system; none of which bore signs of damage from weapons of alien origin. Our only anomalous discovery was an aged Rheinland "Oder" gunboat that the Corsairs kept close to their base. The gunboat wreck was at least 30 years old, so old that it could not possibly be related to our search. We found nothing else of note in Dublin, so we returned to Freeport 5 to reorganize.
Unfortunately, while I was due to send in this report on the 21st, an unanticipated electro-magnetic surge from the O-41 Neutron Star delayed this message. Hopefully, it is not delayed too much. All squadmates are accounted for, and we will continue our investigation. Attached are the blackbox recordings of the encounters described above, labeled by system.

[20.06.2025 18:14:08] Carina.Balzer: Hallo... seems the mercs are out in force today
[20.06.2025 18:14:37] 34th|Jester: Hey. Yeah, a little gather up.
[20.06.2025 18:14:41] 34th|Hertoginne: That we are. They say that contract opportunities abound out here.
[20.06.2025 18:15:04] Carina.Balzer: It's true *chuckles* I hope the competition von't try up my opportunities. Enjoy the Rheinbier?
[20.06.2025 18:15:36] 34th|Hertoginne: Of course!
[20.06.2025 18:15:53] 34th|Hertoginne: Though, I wouldn't want to have too much out here...
[20.06.2025 18:16:40] Carina.Balzer: Ha, true. May throw off your aim.
[20.06.2025 18:16:51] 34th|Hertoginne: Not to poach, but are you working any contracts now?
[20.06.2025 18:17:51] Carina.Balzer: HA! Not to poach... *grins* I've my hands on a couple bits of vork. Those Phoenix folk pay rather well. Or at least, they did.
[20.06.2025 18:18:17] Carina.Balzer: Currently, the Freeport Administration here a paying for a bit of muscle. Seems they've double up'ed.
[20.06.2025 18:18:45] 34th|Hertoginne: Yeah, that's why I came out here anyway.
[20.06.2025 18:18:53] Carina.Balzer: How'd you land that gig?
[20.06.2025 18:19:06] 34th|Hertoginne: What? This Canarian?
[20.06.2025 18:19:17] Carina.Balzer: Mhm?
[20.06.2025 18:19:30] 34th|Hertoginne: They sell them like Synth Popcorn back on Grand Canaria.
[20.06.2025 18:19:34] 34th|Hertoginne: Must be a clearance.
[20.06.2025 18:19:36] Iguru: N: Konichiwa.
[20.06.2025 18:19:53] 34th|Hertoginne: Guten tag!
[20.06.2025 18:20:05] Carina.Balzer: What a motley crew you lot are.
[20.06.2025 18:20:31] 34th|Hertoginne: Well, you could say that.
[20.06.2025 18:20:53] Iguru: N: The radiation here is dreadful.
[20.06.2025 18:21:04] 34th|Hertoginne: Very much so.
[20.06.2025 18:21:25] Carina.Balzer: Horrific, isn't it. Get zhe flight crew to give the hull a good waxing. They've got something to take the sting out a little.
[20.06.2025 18:21:46] 34th|Hertoginne: Since I mentioned Canaria, I heard in that system that ships with blank transponders are causing-
[20.06.2025 18:21:54] 34th|Hertoginne: -trouble for the Zoners out there.
[20.06.2025 18:22:14] 34th|Hertoginne: Of course, this was just a bar rumor, so you know...
[20.06.2025 18:22:23] 34th|Hertoginne: Maybe not super trustworthy.
[20.06.2025 18:22:37] Carina.Balzer: Blank transponders? Curious... they mean to say they were not turned on?
[20.06.2025 18:22:57] Anya.Seer: 'eya.
[20.06.2025 18:23:05] 34th|Hertoginne: I guess? Guy I talked to wasn't super clear about it.
[20.06.2025 18:23:06] Iguru: N: Eh pirates getting creative with their IFF spoofing it seems.
[20.06.2025 18:23:50] Carina.Balzer: Even more of you? Himmel, the freeport admin didn't skimp on spending.
[20.06.2025 18:24:05] Iguru: N: Sure didn't.
[20.06.2025 18:24:23] Anya.Seer: Just doin' as I'm told. Don't look at me funny.
[20.06.2025 18:24:37] Carina.Balzer: *makes a scrunched up face at the vidcom*
[20.06.2025 18:24:54] 34th|Hertoginne: Ha! That kind of mindset is why I'm not working in Rheinland.
[20.06.2025 18:25:20] 34th|Hertoginne: All it takes is one Hessian or Police to "do as they're told"...
[20.06.2025 18:25:33] Anya.Seer: What're you implyin', huh?
[20.06.2025 18:25:47] 34th|Hertoginne: Nothing against you personally.
[20.06.2025 18:26:37] Carina.Balzer: One secund, going to get a little sprucing up
[20.06.2025 18:26:47] Anya.Seer: Err...
[20.06.2025 18:27:02] 34th|Jester: Huh, so the "mercs" are gathered. And that kind of asking around will be needed the way forward.
[20.06.2025 18:27:28] Anya.Seer: Don't be too obvious about it, yeah?
[20.06.2025 18:27:36] 34th|Hertoginne: About what?
[20.06.2025 18:27:41] Anya.Seer: Exactly.
[20.06.2025 18:28:23] 34th|Hertoginne: You lot want to take a job together? Safety in numbers and all that.
[20.06.2025 18:29:22] Iguru: N: Of course. Thats why we are here aren't we?
[20.06.2025 18:29:32] Carina.Balzer: *sips from her stimm-kaffee mix*
[20.06.2025 18:29:32] Anya.Seer: Love a...job.
[20.06.2025 18:29:56] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes, err... do we all want to stop by the bar?
[20.06.2025 18:30:11] 34th|Hertoginne: I'm sure there's a job posting there.
[20.06.2025 18:30:28] 34th|Jester: This comm-station will make me go insane.
[20.06.2025 18:30:53] 34th|Hertoginne: Well, it's a busy day.
[20.06.2025 18:31:10] 34th|Hertoginne: Greetings, Phaeton!
[20.06.2025 18:31:23] "Phaeton": Nicole: Good evening, folks.
[20.06.2025 18:31:28] Iguru: N: Greetings Phaeton vessel.
[20.06.2025 18:31:35] Anya.Seer: 'iya.
[20.06.2025 18:31:42] 34th|Jester: And there he goes.
[20.06.2025 18:31:55] 34th|Hertoginne: Guess he has business to attend to.
[20.06.2025 18:32:02] 34th|Jester: Traders...
[20.06.2025 18:32:12] "Phaeton": Nicole: All our deliveries are quite urgent, so you'll have to excuse is the haste we pass by with.
[20.06.2025 18:32:16] "Phaeton": **us
[20.06.2025 18:32:26] 34th|Hertoginne: They make the world go round I guess.
[20.06.2025 18:32:34] 34th|Hertoginne: No worries, friend.
[20.06.2025 18:32:52] Iguru: N: And get supplies back to the freeports in the Omicrons mhm.
[20.06.2025 18:33:20] 34th|Jester: So, looks like we are all know each other by far. Crew, that hunter, Carina, will work with us on that Freeport business.
[20.06.2025 18:33:31] Anya.Seer: Uh-huh.
[20.06.2025 18:33:38] 34th|Hertoginne: I see.
[20.06.2025 18:33:47] 34th|Jester: My old friend is quite generous for now.
[20.06.2025 18:34:51] Carina.Balzer: Ah, maybe you should check those two out, or?
[20.06.2025 18:34:52] Hauling-Co.: Hello Pilots\
[20.06.2025 18:34:59] 34th|Hertoginne: Even Gallic traders. This system just gets busier.
[20.06.2025 18:34:59] Heimdall-: good day
[20.06.2025 18:35:10] Anya.Seer: Don't fly too close to that...thing.
[20.06.2025 18:35:10] Iguru: N: Konichiwa pilots.
[20.06.2025 18:35:16] 34th|Jester: Greetings. Do you have time to stop by a little?
[20.06.2025 18:35:26] Hauling-Co.: yes sure
[20.06.2025 18:35:52] 34th|Hertoginne: Do you lot come this way often?
[20.06.2025 18:35:57] 34th|Jester: Maybe a bit closer, it's not that "hot" near a Freeport.
[20.06.2025 18:36:02] Hauling-Co.: yes
[20.06.2025 18:36:29] 34th|Hertoginne: Is business good? What do you sell?
[20.06.2025 18:36:33] Heimdall-: if my company demands it
[20.06.2025 18:36:44] Hauling-Co.: iridium, quite good trade
[20.06.2025 18:36:55] Heimdall-: just running some irudium back
[20.06.2025 18:37:00] Anya.Seer: Love money myself, shame I never have any.
[20.06.2025 18:37:05] 34th|Hertoginne: Certainly sounds like good business.
[20.06.2025 18:37:24] Hauling-Co.: we tend to have the same problem, easy come easy go.
[20.06.2025 18:37:28] 34th|Hertoginne: Have you two seen anything suspicious around these parts?
[20.06.2025 18:37:39] Hauling-Co.: the Fp bars are too expensive these days
[20.06.2025 18:37:41] Iguru: N: Probably risky too considering you have to move through the omicrons.
[20.06.2025 18:37:51] 34th|Hertoginne: Other than the usual thugs.
[20.06.2025 18:38:15] Hauling-Co.: risk is always there. any system has its pirates
[20.06.2025 18:38:59] Hauling-Co.: docking for supplies
[20.06.2025 18:39:04] 34th|Jester: And out here, in Omegas? Any problems?
[20.06.2025 18:39:13] 34th|Hertoginne: Come to think of it, why don't you guys have an escort?
[20.06.2025 18:39:28] Heimdall-: wouldn't say any big one just hessians now and then
[20.06.2025 18:39:29] Hauling-Co.: from time to time the occasional pirate or squid shows up
[20.06.2025 18:39:41] 34th|Jester: A squid even?
[20.06.2025 18:39:57] Iguru: N: A squid? Huh?......
[20.06.2025 18:39:59] Heimdall-: ran into two earlier we barely survived
[20.06.2025 18:40:18] Hauling-Co.: yes they travel all over these days infecting people
[20.06.2025 18:40:25] Iguru: N: Disgusting.
[20.06.2025 18:40:37] Anya.Seer: Squish...eugh.
[20.06.2025 18:40:40] Hauling-Co.: there was just 2 a while back in Delta
[20.06.2025 18:40:49] 34th|Jester: Br-r. Can't imagine this things "infecting".
[20.06.2025 18:41:03] Iguru: N: Yeah they got quite aggressive these days.
[20.06.2025 18:41:15] Heimdall-: wonder why
[20.06.2025 18:41:15] Hauling-Co.: Unfortunately the pilots that tried to eradicate them died
[20.06.2025 18:41:16] 34th|Hertoginne: Have you seen any such squids out here in the Omegas?
[20.06.2025 18:41:17] 34th|Jester: Anyone.. Or anything' you know of in particular?
[20.06.2025 18:42:05] Hauling-Co.: couple days ago they passed here towards dublin for some unknown reason
[20.06.2025 18:42:08] Heimdall-: sorry cant really say i havent met an infected as of yet myself
[20.06.2025 18:42:23] 34th|Hertoginne: Probably for the best.
[20.06.2025 18:42:27] Anya.Seer: Wait, they're in Bretonia?
[20.06.2025 18:42:42] Hauling-Co.: also had to run the other day from wild infected in O3
[20.06.2025 18:43:36] 34th|Hertoginne: How did you know they were "infected"?
[20.06.2025 18:44:19] Hauling-Co.: they call themselves nomads and fly some vessels full of nomad energy cannons
[20.06.2025 18:44:42] Hauling-Co.: cant think that any reasonable human will use their technology
[20.06.2025 18:44:49] Hauling-Co.: it just cant be safe
[20.06.2025 18:44:59] 34th|Hertoginne: Fair enough. What were they doing in Omega 3?
[20.06.2025 18:45:39] Hauling-Co.: no idea to be honest. probably looking for something to kill. if i didnt notice them that fast and ran to cambridge
[20.06.2025 18:45:56] 34th|Hertoginne: Greetings, Zoners!
[20.06.2025 18:45:58] Hauling-Co.: i would have died as they where chasing me when they saw me
[20.06.2025 18:46:03] Rockfall: Hello
[20.06.2025 18:46:10] Hauling-Co.: hello pilot
[20.06.2025 18:46:17] Anya.Seer: Don't fly too close to that thing, eh?
[20.06.2025 18:46:17] Iguru: N: Konichiwa Zoner.
[20.06.2025 18:46:24] 34th|Hertoginne: Damn! How did you escape?
[20.06.2025 18:46:29] Heimdall-: we have to be off
[20.06.2025 18:46:35] 34th|Hertoginne: Ah of course.
[20.06.2025 18:46:43] 34th|Hertoginne: Farewell! Be safe!
[20.06.2025 18:46:49] Iguru: N: Be safe.
[20.06.2025 18:46:49] Anya.Seer: Laters.
[20.06.2025 18:46:51] Hauling-Co.: very fast trae lane docking and thrusting to the jump gate
[20.06.2025 18:46:53] Heimdall-: same to you fine fellows
[20.06.2025 18:47:03] 34th|Jester: You can always call us for help, you know.
[20.06.2025 18:47:20] 34th|Hertoginne: Yeah, if you run into trouble out here, let us know.
[20.06.2025 18:47:24] 34th|Jester: So you don't have to run from from those... Those.
[20.06.2025 18:47:45] Heimdall-: buttplugs
[20.06.2025 18:47:46] Hauling-Co.: i will most certainly do that. Its getting unsafe everywhere
[20.06.2025 18:48:16] Carina.Balzer: Did zhey just.... *sighs*
[20.06.2025 18:48:30] Anya.Seer: Weird.
[20.06.2025 18:48:49] Hauling-Co.: well, i have some deadlines to meet. will meet each other again
[20.06.2025 18:48:51] 34th|Hertoginne: Ah well, maturity isn't a requirement for captaincy in the GMS I suppose.
[20.06.2025 18:48:59] Iguru: N: I sure hope I am hallucinating from the radiation with what I just heard the other trader say.
[20.06.2025 18:49:37] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes, farewell tradesman!
[20.06.2025 18:49:37] Hauling-Co.: safe travels and good flights ahead
[20.06.2025 18:49:43] Anya.Seer: See ya.
[20.06.2025 18:49:48] 34th|Jester: Be safe out there then. Our guns are cheap enough for you not to risk your lives. Godspeed.
[20.06.2025 18:50:40] 34th|Hertoginne: Odd pair, those two.
[20.06.2025 18:50:41] Iguru: N: That vivid comparison by the Heimdall was not something I needed in my life. Oh well.
[20.06.2025 18:50:49] 34th|Jester: Gallians...
[20.06.2025 18:51:01] Anya.Seer: Gotta be a bit unhinged to do their job, I guess.
[20.06.2025 18:51:12] 34th|Hertoginne: Well, did you hear what they said about O3?
[20.06.2025 18:51:18] Iguru: N: Mhm..
[20.06.2025 18:51:19] Anya.Seer: Unfortunately.
[20.06.2025 18:51:23] Iguru: N: And Dublin..
[20.06.2025 18:51:49] 34th|Jester: Well, that's something to chew on. And to note as well.
[20.06.2025 18:52:05] Anya.Seer: Can't say I'm all that surprised.
[20.06.2025 18:53:01] Anya.Seer: Well, lovely day eh.
[20.06.2025 18:53:18] 34th|Hertoginne: Uhhh, i guess.
[20.06.2025 18:53:39] 34th|Hertoginne: I wouldn't be able to tell, this neutron star never changes.
[20.06.2025 18:53:41] Carina.Balzer: *sips from her kaffee-stimm flask*
[20.06.2025 18:53:47] Iguru: N: Mhm. Think we should see to both O3 and Dublin next..
[20.06.2025 18:53:56] 34th|Jester: How do ya all feeling? Baked enough or still good for a stroll around?
[20.06.2025 18:54:01] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes. I agree.
[20.06.2025 18:54:05] Anya.Seer: Lead the way.
[20.06.2025 18:54:07] 34th|Hertoginne: Let's see O3.
[20.06.2025 18:54:16] Iguru: N: Yeah O3 first.
[20.06.2025 18:54:19] 34th|Jester: Start your engines.
[20.06.2025 18:54:36] Carina.Balzer: Look at the mercs go~
[20.06.2025 18:54:43] Iguru: N: Uff. Ion storm fried my navcom.
[20.06.2025 18:55:04] Iguru: N: In other words I gotta relog all jumpholes to it again. Hate this shit.
[20.06.2025 18:55:11] Anya.Seer: Lucky you got a nice voice, Carina.
[20.06.2025 18:55:31] Carina.Balzer: Not the pretty face that counts?
[20.06.2025 18:55:38] Anya.Seer: Can't see that far.
OMEGA-3
20.06.2025 18:59:29] Anya.Seer: Where to?
[20.06.2025 18:59:39] Iguru: N: How about Freeport 1?
[20.06.2025 18:59:39] 34th|Jester: Let's check on Freeport.
[20.06.2025 18:59:44] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes.
[20.06.2025 18:59:53] Anya.Seer: Yessir.
[20.06.2025 19:00:59] Carina.Balzer: Mercs saying "sir" and alle that... are you ex-military?
[20.06.2025 19:01:25] Anya.Seer: Tch, nuh-uh. Just followin' orders like a good girl.
[20.06.2025 19:01:58] 34th|Hertoginne: Freeport seems quiet enough.
[20.06.2025 19:02:36] 34th|Jester: Interesting that it happened here. Too far from usual, don't you think?
[20.06.2025 19:02:53] Anya.Seer: Never know I guess.
[20.06.2025 19:03:34] 34th|Hertoginne: It does seem odd.
[20.06.2025 19:03:35] Iguru: N: Usually this place is just full of Brets and the only infestation are Red Hessians and Corsairs.
[20.06.2025 19:04:43] 34th|Hertoginne: Maybe we should see what brought them out here? I doubt it was the Freeport.
[20.06.2025 19:05:05] 34th|Jester: You have an idea what it could
[20.06.2025 19:05:09] 34th|Jester: have been?
[20.06.2025 19:05:09] Carina.Balzer: Vell, takes all sorts I suppose. *smirks* Perhaps zhese troubles were brought from somewhere else? Perhaps it started in dublin?
[20.06.2025 19:05:19] Iguru: N: What else would be here? Its just a place full of stations of new companies.
[20.06.2025 19:05:28] Iguru: N: Well maybe Dublin started it.
[20.06.2025 19:05:53] Anya.Seer: Probably gotten bold like the animals they are.
[20.06.2025 19:06:04] Anya.Seer: Can't be that deep, eh?
[20.06.2025 19:06:10] Carina.Balzer: ooo, the gut girl is bloodthirsty.
[20.06.2025 19:06:18] Iguru: N: Or they are planning for something.
[20.06.2025 19:06:44] Anya.Seer: Careful what you wish for, or somethin'.
[20.06.2025 19:07:00] Iguru: N: Isn't Dublin full of gold? Used for electronic components on ships?
[20.06.2025 19:07:21] Carina.Balzer: *chuckles, sipping from her flask* Perhaps zhey are after resources? Did the traders say vhat they were hauling at the time?
[20.06.2025 19:07:23] 34th|Jester: This, yes. So why they were there sounds believable.
[20.06.2025 19:07:26] 34th|Jester: Yet here...
[20.06.2025 19:07:29] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes and it's a warzone.
[20.06.2025 19:07:50] 34th|Jester: Traders, right. Not much folk capable to defend themselves.
[20.06.2025 19:07:58] 34th|Hertoginne: No, but it was probably valuable metals like iridium.
[20.06.2025 19:08:03] 34th|Hertoginne: Possibly gold.
[20.06.2025 19:08:19] Iguru: N: This may be a wide guess but maybe they tried to disrupt the mining operations there.
[20.06.2025 19:08:46] 34th|Hertoginne: Maybe, that would actually add up.
[20.06.2025 19:08:50] 34th|Jester: Or catch some for themselves. Good guess.
[20.06.2025 19:08:57] 34th|Hertoginne: It is their way to try to destabilize humanity.
[20.06.2025 19:09:19] 34th|Hertoginne: And making gold scarce would increase conflict in Dublin.
[20.06.2025 19:09:38] Iguru: N: And where there is conflict there are easy vectors for you know.
[20.06.2025 19:09:54] Iguru: N: Getting into organizations.
[20.06.2025 19:10:19] 34th|Hertoginne: Yes, that makes sense.
[20.06.2025 19:10:39] Iguru: N: We have to ask a miner there. No matter if Bretonia, Molly or the odd Corsair.
[20.06.2025 19:11:24] Iguru: N: But why strike here then?
[20.06.2025 19:11:37] Anya.Seer: Trade routes?
[20.06.2025 19:11:48] 34th|Hertoginne: To hit the shipping of gold that has already been mined, I suppose.
[20.06.2025 19:12:18] Iguru: N: Oh they bring it here? Thought traders fly over Liberty instead of the Omegas.
[20.06.2025 19:12:31] Anya.Seer: I don't know!
[20.06.2025 19:12:39] Anya.Seer: I ain't ever around these parts.
[20.06.2025 19:12:52] 34th|Jester: It's convenient to go through here. In some cases.
[20.06.2025 19:12:52] 34th|Hertoginne: They bring it everywhere, I imagine.
[20.06.2025 19:13:07] Carina.Balzer: Vould make sense to me for them to come through the Omega's. a direct route.
[20.06.2025 19:13:34] Anya.Seer: Maybe that one knows somethin'.
[20.06.2025 19:13:36] 34th|Hertoginne: Greetings, IC.
[20.06.2025 19:13:37] Iguru: N: Yeah but come on, risking to pay the communist tax or the rum tax. Their choice I suppose.
[20.06.2025 19:14:09] Carina.Balzer: Ah, caught a glimpse there~
[20.06.2025 19:16:44] Carina.Balzer: *sips* Ach, so... Dublin?
[20.06.2025 19:17:03] 34th|Hertoginne: Sounds like a plan to me.
[20.06.2025 19:18:51] Anya.Seer: You're a funny one.
OMEGA-48
[20.06.2025 19:23:14] Anya.Seer: Nice scenic route, I guess.
[20.06.2025 19:23:32] 34th|Jester: The contrast is interesting.
[20.06.2025 19:23:36] Iguru: N: Forming up. No idea where this backdoor is.
[20.06.2025 19:24:02] Anya.Seer: Not someone hallucinatin', I hope.
[20.06.2025 19:24:35] Sabers|CPW-Kaspiysk: Attention, unidentified objects on radar. I'm running a scan.
[20.06.2025 19:24:42] Iguru: N: Bering has interesting asteroids. You were there before. Look like pota- Oh hey Coalition.
[20.06.2025 19:24:44] 34th|Jester: Greetings there!
[20.06.2025 19:24:56] 34th|Hertoginne: Greetings Coalitioner!
[20.06.2025 19:25:14] Carina.Balzer: *whsistles* now thats a ship
[20.06.2025 19:25:15] 34th|Hertoginne: We gonna stop and talk?
[20.06.2025 19:25:28] 34th|Hertoginne: We will comply.
[20.06.2025 19:25:32] Iguru: N: That sure is a big ship.
[20.06.2025 19:26:17] Carina.Balzer: They really have a way of getting those angles just right~
[20.06.2025 19:26:28] 34th|Hertoginne: Anything we can help you with, sir?
[20.06.2025 19:26:51] Sabers|CPW-Kaspiysk: What business brings you here, mercenaries?
[20.06.2025 19:27:07] Carina.Balzer: *sips from her kaffe-stimms*
[20.06.2025 19:27:10] 34th|Jester: Any job out here, perhaps? A gig is always good. Some rumors too.
[20.06.2025 19:27:18] 34th|Hertoginne: We are here looking for work.
[20.06.2025 19:27:31] 34th|Hertoginne: And we've heard rumors of mysterious ships out here.
[20.06.2025 19:28:12] Sabers|CPW-Kaspiysk: look for a job on the planet, ask the bartender.
[20.06.2025 19:28:36] 34th|Hertoginne: Very well. And are there any strange ships in the area?
[20.06.2025 19:28:58] Sabers|CPW-Kaspiysk: We have not detected any ships in this sector.
[20.06.2025 19:29:51] Sabers|CPW-Kaspiysk: The order to return to base. See you later, mercenaries
[20.06.2025 19:30:03] 34th|Hertoginne: Farewell!
[20.06.2025 19:30:09] 34th|Jester: Safe skies.
[20.06.2025 19:30:09] Iguru: N: Stay safe.
[20.06.2025 19:30:15] Carina.Balzer: Tschussie... *sighs* If only I could see the inside of one of those one day.
[20.06.2025 19:31:33] Iguru: N: Check your comms Balzer. It made some really odd noise.
[20.06.2025 19:31:48] Carina.Balzer: huh? What is it now... *sounds of tapping and banging.*
[20.06.2025 19:32:04] Iguru: N: Seems to be working now.
[20.06.2025 19:32:13] Carina.Balzer: *shrugs* Good.
Dublin
[20.06.2025 19:32:40] 34th|Jester: So that's the system causing all the fuzz.
[20.06.2025 19:32:40] 34th|Hertoginne: I guess we go to the gold fields now?
[20.06.2025 19:32:56] Anya.Seer: Gold fields? Whole place is gold.
[20.06.2025 19:33:01] Iguru: N: Mhm. Lets check the corn fields.
[20.06.2025 19:33:07] Iguru: N: I a mean gold fields.
[20.06.2025 19:33:21] 34th|Jester: Better to find a field than a fielded Breton warship.
[20.06.2025 19:34:19] 34th|Hertoginne: Coalition wreck here. Not too out of the ordinary.
[20.06.2025 19:34:37] Iguru: N: Checking integrity.
[20.06.2025 19:34:43] Iguru: N: Yeah its busted.
[20.06.2025 19:34:56] Anya.Seer: Got a ship doctor here, I see.
[20.06.2025 19:35:10] 34th|Hertoginne: Such scientific terminology.
[20.06.2025 19:35:23] 34th|Jester: I think looking at asteroid fields will be good. They weren't pulling gold out of nothing, didn't they?
[20.06.2025 19:35:27] 34th|Hertoginne: There's another field not too far.
[20.06.2025 19:35:35] Iguru: N: Yes of course, I can tell if a ship is destroyed by shooting at it.
[20.06.2025 19:36:22] Iguru: N: Ugh. Couldn't think of doing this all day.
[20.06.2025 19:36:32] Carina.Balzer: I gave it a go once
[20.06.2025 19:36:38] Anya.Seer: Don't think we're findin' clues in this hole.
[20.06.2025 19:36:41] Iguru: N: And?
[20.06.2025 19:36:48] 34th|Hertoginne: Picking up ridiculous amounts of gold in the parts per million in these rocks.
[20.06.2025 19:36:58] Carina.Balzer: Couldn't stand it... here now, no?
[20.06.2025 19:37:11] Anya.Seer: Don't start seein' credit signs in your eyes, love.
[20.06.2025 19:37:18] Iguru: N: This is quite a rich field.
[20.06.2025 19:37:41] 34th|Hertoginne: I'm not seeing credits. This ship couldn't mine if it tried.
[20.06.2025 19:37:55] Carina.Balzer: So, vhat's the deal? You think they could've started the hunt here?
[20.06.2025 19:38:00] 34th|Jester: It's either going to visit Mollys now.. Don't think that they are welcoming sudden guests.
[20.06.2025 19:38:06] Carina.Balzer: Frau Seer... fiesty.
[20.06.2025 19:38:29] Anya.Seer: I have my moments.
[20.06.2025 19:38:37] 34th|Hertoginne: I guess we should say hi, they might've seen something.
[20.06.2025 19:38:41] Iguru: N: Or we check that Corsair mining base.. Which some of them talk like they have not had enough food.
[20.06.2025 19:38:44] Carina.Balzer: If you head tovards their base, I shall stay a little back. For... obvious reasons.
[20.06.2025 19:38:48] 34th|Jester: They could've. Can imagine them joining up in a war. Especially on 'this' side.
[20.06.2025 19:39:59] Anya.Seer: What a mess.
[20.06.2025 19:40:12] Iguru: N: Rocky.
[20.06.2025 19:40:22] 34th|Hertoginne: Field's not too big after all.
[20.06.2025 19:40:52] Iguru: N: Careful. There are mine.
[20.06.2025 19:41:01] 34th|Hertoginne: Seems quiet over here by the Mollys.
[20.06.2025 19:41:15] Iguru: N: They are all probably drunk.
[20.06.2025 19:41:27] 34th|Jester: The most fights are over. As I've heard.
[20.06.2025 19:41:34] 34th|Hertoginne: Fair enough given the state of this system.
[20.06.2025 19:41:57] 34th|Hertoginne: I guess we should try the other fields.
[20.06.2025 19:42:21] 34th|Jester: Let's take a peek.
[20.06.2025 19:43:12] 34th|Jester: Not quite an asteroid field.
[20.06.2025 19:43:15] 34th|Hertoginne: Ha! Look at this.
[20.06.2025 19:43:26] 34th|Hertoginne: An abandoned race lane.
[20.06.2025 19:44:06] Anya.Seer: Weeee.
[20.06.2025 19:44:12] 34th|Hertoginne: You know, I think you might be running it backwards.
[20.06.2025 19:44:29] 34th|Jester: It's a circle. Does that matter?
[20.06.2025 19:44:30] Anya.Seer: I'm cool like that.
[20.06.2025 19:44:36] 34th|Hertoginne: True enough.
[20.06.2025 19:44:47] 34th|Hertoginne: Let's see what else is here.
[20.06.2025 19:45:05] Iguru: N: Clearly the Nomads were here for racing. Aaaanyhow. Lets see if we can find somebody to talk to.
[20.06.2025 19:45:25] 34th|Hertoginne: This is interesting.
[20.06.2025 19:45:44] 34th|Hertoginne: Must be the Corsair base camp, though they aren't talking.
[20.06.2025 19:45:58] Iguru: N: Mhm.
[20.06.2025 19:46:13] 34th|Hertoginne: A Rheinland gunship?
[20.06.2025 19:46:14] Iguru: N: Goodness their ships are so ugly.
[20.06.2025 19:46:30] Iguru: N: Huh.
[20.06.2025 19:46:35] Iguru: N: That seems off.
[20.06.2025 19:46:52] 34th|Jester: That one looking interesting. Yet... It tells that it's 'very' old.
[20.06.2025 19:47:22] 34th|Hertoginne: Hmmm... interesting. If it wasn't so old it could've been a lead.
[20.06.2025 19:47:50] 34th|Jester: For our concern at least. But who knows what real purpose it served here other than raiding.
[20.06.2025 19:48:41] 34th|Hertoginne: Balzer you good?
[20.06.2025 19:49:01] Carina.Balzer: Jah, all good. Just keeping my distance from the cretins.
[20.06.2025 19:49:09] Carina.Balzer: Cretans. Sorry.
[20.06.2025 19:49:10] 34th|Hertoginne: Fair.
[20.06.2025 19:49:25] 34th|Hertoginne: Ha, message received.
[20.06.2025 19:49:45] 34th|Hertoginne: I guess we should move on.
[20.06.2025 19:50:17] 34th|Jester: Any other ideas? The only two - is to look at crown's side of Dublin. Bet that one is not good.
[20.06.2025 19:50:26] 34th|Jester: The other - coming back.
[20.06.2025 19:50:41] Anya.Seer: Think we've seen enough for a day, eh?
[20.06.2025 19:50:54] 34th|Hertoginne: Agreed. We should report back with our theory.
[20.06.2025 19:51:04] Iguru: N: Mhm.
[20.06.2025 19:51:15] 34th|Hertoginne: Where to? Back to FP 5?
[20.06.2025 19:51:23] Iguru: N: Suppose so.
[20.06.2025 19:51:26] 34th|Jester: Affirmative.
[20.06.2025 19:51:32] 34th|Hertoginne: Alright then.
[20.06.2025 19:52:08] Carina.Balzer: That's better.
[20.06.2025 19:52:29] Carina.Balzer: Freeport Five, was it?
[20.06.2025 19:52:35] Iguru: N: Mhm.
[20.06.2025 19:52:39] 34th|Jester: It was, yes.
[20.06.2025 19:52:39] 34th|Hertoginne: They messed up that gate real good.
[20.06.2025 19:53:10] 34th|Jester: I bet it was 'comfy' to move fleets through holes.
[20.06.2025 19:53:29] 34th|Hertoginne: I can hardly imagine.
