Name: Crimson Veil Location: Saverne Subject: Some Interesting Things
Hello everyone,
Today was interesting enough that I felt it necessary to address the entire Platform for the first time. I won't waste your time and will get to the point.
I was transporting some small but important parts from Pennsylvania for the work on the cruiser at Saverne. Along the way, I encountered several people, some of whom gave me information that I believe might be useful to some of you.
First, I was escorted to the Rheinland border by an LSF agent. Contrary to my expectations, the agent was quite calm and even friendly, despite the clarity of my identification. It seems that Liberty, despite our support for the Zoners, still doesn't consider us enemies... and may allow smaller vessels to navigate freely. I've attached a portion of our conversation.
[16.12.2025 21:41:31] (=)"CV": "Well, agent, would you prefer me in one of those Defiants, perhaps?~"
[16.12.2025 21:42:15] Kailani.Rose: I would prefer if you were adjacent and respectful towards Liberty's laws and regulations.
[16.12.2025 21:42:50] (=)"CV": "Ahh, that's too bad... Liberty's laws are a little... Restricting, for my taste."
[16.12.2025 21:43:00] Kailani.Rose: Perhaps Rheinland's laws are more to your liking.
[16.12.2025 21:43:07] IMG|Velian: Is it against the law to complain about the law?
[16.12.2025 21:43:16] (=)"CV": "As someone who grew up at Pittsburgh, I've grown a bit... Tired of those."
[16.12.2025 21:43:25] (=)"CV": "Ah, if only they were any better, agent!"
[16.12.2025 21:43:41] Kailani.Rose: No. But it is quite illegal to use foreign militant spacefaring equipment.
[16.12.2025 21:43:48] IMG|Velian: Also you are part of the Inn that is all the rage in the sector right?
[16.12.2025 21:43:52] Kailani.Rose: A Navy patrol might find it enticing to terminate you on the spot.
[16.12.2025 21:44:00] Kailani.Rose: I'm only giving you an admonishment.
[16.12.2025 21:44:18] Ozei's.Steady.Endeavor: [To Velian] The Gaelic Wyvern? Aye - That I am~!
[16.12.2025 21:44:21] (=)"CV": "True, but that is exactly why I need this equipment~"
[16.12.2025 21:44:38] (=)"CV": "Because, you see, they might want to do so anyway!"
[16.12.2025 21:44:42] Ozei's.Steady.Endeavor: I pulled out the Big Dragon to do a *bit* of hauling, to build up some towards our security budget.
[16.12.2025 21:44:52] IMG|Velian: [ToOzei] Are you taking orders?
[16.12.2025 21:45:38] Ozei's.Steady.Endeavor: Well, menu is a *little* limited since I only have a smaller kitchen on this boat, but I should be able to whip something up!
[16.12.2025 21:46:02] (=)"CV": "But, since you seem so nice to not only allow me to be here, but even to warn me about potential problems..."
[16.12.2025 21:46:20] (=)"CV": "Maybe I will return the favor and not cause trouble... I did have a place to be in mind, after all!"
[16.12.2025 21:46:28] Kailani.Rose: I'm certainly not allowing you to be here. What you are doing is quite illegal.
[16.12.2025 21:46:55] Kailani.Rose: But you seem to be civilized.
[16.12.2025 21:46:56] (=)"CV": "Well, agent, you may want to change *your* equipment for the task, if you'd like to arrest me."
[16.12.2025 21:47:13] (=)"CV": "But that might take just enough time for me to fly away~"
[16.12.2025 21:47:20] Ozei's.Steady.Endeavor: Let me seee... [Ozei rumages through his ingredients and compares them to his menu]
[16.12.2025 21:47:22] Kailani.Rose: I was hoping you weren't going to turn this into a challenge.
[16.12.2025 21:47:24] IMG|Velian: I am in a mood for a small snack.
[16.12.2025 21:47:39] (=)"CV": "Not really... I am quite a peaceful person."
[16.12.2025 21:47:46] (=)"CV": "Unless I'm forced to not be"
[16.12.2025 21:48:17] Ozei's.Steady.Endeavor: Ooh, a snack? Good bet for that would be eitherrr... Kyushu Gyoza, or Kayla's recipe for scones!
[16.12.2025 21:48:26] Kailani.Rose: Very well. Let us not reach such a boiling point, in that case.
[16.12.2025 21:48:36] (=)"CV": "How very kind of you~"
[16.12.2025 21:49:08] Kailani.Rose: You're more than welcome in Liberty space, but you must consider our regulations, and perhaps consider ditching that boat.
[16.12.2025 21:49:18] Kailani.Rose: There are legal options which can achieve the same purpose.
[16.12.2025 21:49:33] (=)"CV": "... is that so? Didn't think we are welcome here..."
[16.12.2025 21:49:43] (=)"CV": "Interesting."
[16.12.2025 21:49:53] (=)"CV": "I might need to talk about this to the others."
[16.12.2025 21:50:37] (=)"CV": "Here I was, using those sneaky jump holes..."
[16.12.2025 21:50:38] Kailani.Rose: So long as you abide by our regulations, and so long as you do not contribute to terrorist activity.
[16.12.2025 21:51:10] Kailani.Rose: And so long as you aren't a part of a foreign terrorist organization yourself, I would assume that you're allowed to be -
[16.12.2025 21:51:14] Kailani.Rose: within Liberty space, yes.
[16.12.2025 21:51:17] (=)"CV": "Oh, I would never!.. What do you consider terrorist activity, anyway?"
[16.12.2025 21:51:35] (=)"CV": "I'm sure someone at Rheinland might consider us as such~"
[16.12.2025 21:51:58] Kailani.Rose: Perhaps so.
[16.12.2025 21:52:10] Kailani.Rose: But I prefer to investigate each case on an individual basis.
[16.12.2025 21:52:43] (=)"CV": "Very diligent of you, agent... I wonder, would you extend this grace to people in Texas..."
[16.12.2025 21:53:06] Kailani.Rose: It depends on who the people in question are.
[16.12.2025 21:53:27] (=)"CV": "Oh, you know... People who were a little too poor to exist in your society."
[16.12.2025 21:53:39] (=)"CV": "And... Ended up in, um..."
[16.12.2025 21:53:48] (=)"CV": "Well, it's not techincally slave labor, I guess..."
[16.12.2025 21:53:52] Kailani.Rose: Sugarland.
[16.12.2025 21:53:57] (=)"CV": "Mhm."
[16.12.2025 21:54:59] Kailani.Rose: As someone from Pittsburgh, surely you were born and raised aware of the sad state of affairs of Liberty.
[16.12.2025 21:55:09] (=)"CV": "Oh, quite so."
[16.12.2025 21:55:17] (=)"CV": "It is why I am so... Heavily armed."
[16.12.2025 21:55:28] Kailani.Rose: Then perhaps it's best to skip the social commentary. We are both well aware of how much of an abject travesty it is.
[16.12.2025 21:55:45] (=)"CV": "Then why serve it?"
[16.12.2025 21:56:15] Kailani.Rose: My reasons aren't worth sharing.
[16.12.2025 21:56:39] (=)"CV": "Are they? I'd listen, but... Your call, agent."
[16.12.2025 21:56:46] Kailani.Rose: It's quite personal, actually.
[16.12.2025 21:56:50] Kailani.Rose: I would rather not.
Of course, with our support to the Militants cause, this will change sooner or later, but for now, it could prove a rather interesting advantage in operations in this region. It's worth considering that Liberty could declare us wanted criminals at any moment, and rely on this only as a temporary and unstable advantage.
Secondly, an Order agent, whose name I will keep confidential at their request, gave me information regarding the Hades Brigade. While it's too early to say the entire cell has been infected by Nomads, everyone should exercise extreme vigilance in any interactions with the 34th, as well as the 341st, which, according to the agent, are directly connected to the 34th.
[16.12.2025 22:52:00] (=)"CV": "Oh, Order agent. Still with me?"
[16.12.2025 22:52:19] [ORDER.AGENT]: Mhm. There's a thing I wanted to... Warn you about.
[16.12.2025 22:52:28] (=)"CV": "Oh. I'm all ears."
[16.12.2025 22:53:39] [ORDER.AGENT]: You see, recently the unit I was in started to act... Strange. The Brigade, to be precise.
[16.12.2025 22:53:56] [ORDER.AGENT]: I suppose "some uncertainties" would ring a bell, oui?
[16.12.2025 22:54:17] (=)"CV": "The 34th? I've... Tried to reach out about some... Strange happenings."
[16.12.2025 22:54:31] (=)"CV": "I had a feeling something was off."
[16.12.2025 22:55:03] (=)"CV": "Didn't pay much mind to it at the time. After all, your work can be quite exhausting."
[16.12.2025 22:56:45] [ORDER.AGENT]: Indeed. However, it's not the exhaustion. You see, recently a certain group of individual were... To say that straight -
[16.12.2025 22:57:04] [ORDER.AGENT]: antagonizing the groups with which the Brigade had contacts with.
[16.12.2025 22:57:26] (=)"CV": "In what ways?"
[16.12.2025 22:57:53] [ORDER.AGENT]: Attacks. Claims...
[16.12.2025 22:57:59] [ORDER.AGENT]: [She sighs.]
[16.12.2025 22:58:18] (=)"CV": "Hmm... You don't happen to know anything about... I think it was 341th?"
[16.12.2025 22:59:52] [ORDER.AGENT]: That's a... Hm. One of the 34th's internal units named that way. However, they don't really name themselves like that.
[16.12.2025 23:00:22] [ORDER.AGENT]: Not for people around them, at least.
[16.12.2025 23:00:47] (=)"CV": "Interesting... Your unit was denying that had to do anything with them."
[16.12.2025 23:00:55] (=)"CV": "Of course, I can understand why."
[16.12.2025 23:01:13] (=)"CV": "Since they did attack us."
[16.12.2025 23:01:27] [ORDER.AGENT]: Not like I was enlightened about all what was happening...
[16.12.2025 23:01:32] [ORDER.AGENT]: Attacked, then.
[16.12.2025 23:01:58] (=)"CV": "What would your reccomendation be?"
[16.12.2025 23:02:08] [ORDER.AGENT]: Zat I was going to warn you about.
[16.12.2025 23:03:07] [ORDER.AGENT]: Hah, recommendation. We, I, had suspicions about all that tied to our "common" enemy.
[16.12.2025 23:03:22] [ORDER.AGENT]: Turned out to be true, in a way.
[16.12.2025 23:03:40] [ORDER.AGENT]: The recommendation is to stay vigilant, of course.
[16.12.2025 23:03:43] (=)"CV": "The usual suspect... Hm, if your whole Brigate fell victim to it..."
[16.12.2025 23:03:59] (=)"CV": "With all their technologies, no less..."
[16.12.2025 23:04:15] [ORDER.AGENT]: I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.
[16.12.2025 23:04:28] (=)"CV": "It could mean a lot of trouble... For Order, and for everyone else."
[16.12.2025 23:04:45] (=)"CV": "Mm. Sorry, just..."
[16.12.2025 23:04:50] (=)"CV": "Trying to think ahead."
[16.12.2025 23:04:57] (=)"CV": "It does raise concern."
[16.12.2025 23:05:08] [ORDER.AGENT]: I understand. Mine too.
[16.12.2025 23:05:42] (=)"CV": "Perhaps I should accelerate efforts on getting my new asset ready..."
[16.12.2025 23:05:54] (=)"CV": "In case we'll need to defend in Thuringia."
[16.12.2025 23:06:02] [ORDER.AGENT]: However, the Overwatch was informed. The problem will be dealt with.
[16.12.2025 23:06:11] [ORDER.AGENT]: New asset, hm?
[16.12.2025 23:06:31] (=)"CV": "Ah. Hopefully things can still be salvaged."
[16.12.2025 23:06:46] [ORDER.AGENT]: Intriguing...
[16.12.2025 23:06:50] [ORDER.AGENT]: One more thing.
[16.12.2025 23:06:56] (=)"CV": "Indeed! If things will go well, I will take charge of a cruiser soon enough."
[16.12.2025 23:08:21] [ORDER.AGENT]: People been acting strange lately. And the 341st that *I know* are reacting on that. I believe if those you've met before
[16.12.2025 23:08:46] [ORDER.AGENT]: were tagged as Tau - it will be easy to mix one for the another.
[16.12.2025 23:09:46] [ORDER.AGENT]: The ones *I know* would be moving from Coronado to the Omicrons this week. They are not easy to work with, however, I'm
[16.12.2025 23:09:59] [ORDER.AGENT]: fairly sure they are clean.
[16.12.2025 23:10:04] [ORDER.AGENT]: Stay vigilant.
[16.12.2025 23:10:13] (=)"CV": "Noted."
[16.12.2025 23:10:23] (=)"CV": "I will need to check my logs if... Those were Taus."
[16.12.2025 23:11:16] [ORDER.AGENT]: Oh my. You won't believe how much of a headache all zat is.
[16.12.2025 23:11:31] (=)"CV": "Yes, they... Indeed were."
[16.12.2025 23:11:44] (=)"CV": "But if you say they're clean this time..."
[16.12.2025 23:12:03] (=)"CV": "I will relay this information and see if we can assist."
[16.12.2025 23:13:00] (=)"CV": "Would you prefer your callsign to not come up?"
[16.12.2025 23:13:31] [ORDER.AGENT]: That's an interesting question.
[16.12.2025 23:14:11] (=)"CV": "I have... Little idea on how your organization might look at this exchange."
[16.12.2025 23:14:34] (=)"CV": "So, I might as well keep your name out of it, if you want."
[16.12.2025 23:14:53] [ORDER.AGENT]: A mixed look, I'd wager. Yes, keep it out.
[16.12.2025 23:15:12] (=)"CV": "Will do. Thank you for the warning."
[16.12.2025 23:16:01] (=)"CV": "Hopefully you'll be able to stay safe, yourself. I have a family to protect me, but... If the worst happened to yours..."
[16.12.2025 23:16:02] [ORDER.AGENT]: However, you can ask the Taus you meet about me. The more *clean* ones would know I was away for Provence lately.
[16.12.2025 23:16:35] (=)"CV": "I will remember that, if I meet them."
[16.12.2025 23:17:10] [ORDER.AGENT]: The blood-related's long gone. But I do have people who... Help to move forward. Thank you.
[16.12.2025 23:17:38] (=)"CV": "Yes, that's... What I meant. The family we chose."
Some of these individuals will likely undertake travel through Sirius in the near future. If they show no signs of infection, we should assist them if possible, but please exercise extreme caution.
Thirdly... It seems our activities have attracted the interest of a certain freelancer. I explained to them that credits aren't very common here, but if anyone desperately needs an independent agent...
[16.12.2025 23:24:30] Carillon: Working for the state hurts my soul.
[16.12.2025 23:25:13] (=)"CV": "Ever considered bringing the state down?"
[16.12.2025 23:25:22] Carillon: So I am looking for more enlightened work environments.
[16.12.2025 23:26:00] Carillon: Well I did at the time. But this Freelancer is too much of a coward to commit.
...
[16.12.2025 23:52:18] Carillon: Don't forget my name if a job suited for a freelancer shows up!
[16.12.2025 23:52:45] (=)"CV": "Hehe, like I said, we don't use credits much, freelancer, but..."
[16.12.2025 23:52:55] (=)"CV": "If you ever feel like commiting... Our doors are open."
[16.12.2025 23:53:11] Carillon: I take cargo too.
