Greetings all senior officers of the Deterrence High Command.


I was asked to make contact with an unknown person named Broke.Carlton on behalf of a Corsair pilot, to confirm who they are, why they made contact and what the data really is.

I made contact with Broke.Carlton on freeport 5 and as stated in his message he was in possession of data confirming Nomad presence in Bretonian space, a BIS satellite hidden beside the Nomad site as well as a pilot which has been confirmed as a Wild. After validating the pilot and taking the data I have handed over a new Identification registered to the corsair IFF.



I request that we send our new friend to perform deep space exploration Incase there is any possibility of him being tracked or hunted by Bretonian forces or anyone else who may have been onto this data.

The data will be delivered in person to the High Command within the day.

Long live Ravenna Nagash,
Long live Ravenna Nagash's chosen.

Ave Antorn Cayne,

We are unable to send out any significant presence to investigate a possible connection between the Bretonians and the Nomads at this point. We have enough fights on our existing fronts.

While the pictures are quite damning, Wild inside of Bretonian space, are a Bretonian problem. At best we can leak it to the Bretonian media at an opportune moment to create a distraction for their fleet. To this end, I want more concrete information. I need where in Bretonian space this is as well as how strong the wild presence is.

In order to obtain this information, please feel free to use trustworthy agents to investigate.
If you can find any members of the Deterrence Fleet willing to use their spare time, I'll sign off the the H-Fuel, bonus pay and resources for them.
Otherwise, you have approval to arrange Freelancer agents to investigate, up to a maximum budget of 100,000,000SC. This sum may be negotiable if someone higher up takes an interest in the operation. Much as I hate the damn things, I expect expense reports.

Best of Luck,
-Multannus Cerratus

P.S. High Command, while I appreciate whoever pulled the strings to raise my military rank, I don't remember having this many expense reports before. Since when I am I responsible for our repair bills from Syros Shipyard and foreign intelligence reports? When I find out who dumped this on me, they will be buying me drinks.
Then they can sit in my chair, while I go off and do something that is actually exciting.

Ravenna Vult!

Deterrence Drains Droppings after Destruction of Delivery
by Petroula Carvos (Unofficial Corsair News Network)

---

Here's a quick breaking of news for you, readers.
I know a lot of you tend to read my articles while otherwise ...indisposed. Well, I hope you aren't looking at doing this on a Deterrence Vessel, or forget last night's spicy ration pack, you might just end up with a whole new meaning to "Burning Ring of Fire".

I have managed to come across a report stating that yesterday, Deterrence lost a transport vessel. Not to Nomads, Outcasts or Core, but to bad digestion and navigation.
Yesterday evening, the DTR-Marraco set out for a routine trip to deliver Hull Segments for a base in need of repairs. Unfortunately, it never made it.


<Satellite Images capturing the doomed vessel's final moments - Courtesy Solar Scanning Systems>


Mid-trip, the pilot suffered, shall we say ...digestive problems.
Stepping away from their controls with some urgency, the pilot seemingly forgot to set their nav-computer. In the meantime, two vessels from the Technocracy of Auxo found the vessel. We won't pretend their intentions were friendly, as they are known enemies of the Corsairs, but, as far as can be determined from satellite photos, did not fire a shot.

While radio signals were detected, the exact nature of the conversation is lost, as the satellite wasn't tuned for communications, but rather solar observation. The systems managed to eject the now very black box prior to explosion, which provided most of our information.



<Auxo vessels were spotted in the area, no shots were determined to have been fired. - Courtesy Solar Scanning Systems>


Recovered records show that the vessel had already been set to travel too close to the star, presumably to shave some kilometers off of an already long trip. Frantic to return to their controls at the sound of radio chatter it appears that the pilot accidentally steered the vessel into the star's corona.

A tragic loss, we can only hope the pilot had time to pull up their pants prior to their spontaneous ejection into space.
The pilot was later recovered, fully clothed, but severely burnt. No interviews were permitted by hospital staff.

However, this is not the end of the story. There was one line in the recovered records that raised eyebrows back here at the Unofficial Corsair News Network.
"Fertiliser Collection System 90% Full"

For answers to the pressing question of "What fertiliser?" we turned to the Deterrence Commander of Local Operations, Multannus Cerratus:

Commander Cerratus, what is a "Fertiliser Collection System"?
Well, up till now, we have relied upon raids on the Houses to supply all of our fertilisers for what limited farming we have. However, shipments of the goods have been scarce of late due to the increase in Synth Food's hyper-scaled products. In an effort to increase the crop yields here on Crete, we've been forced to turn to producing our own fertiliser products.

Are you collecting what I think you are suggesting?
Human waste products, yes. I don't know if you have been on a ship or space station in the last few hundred years, but everything is collected and recycled. Carbon Dioxide is scrubbed and collected for reconversion to carbon and oxygen, urine is collected, purified and cycled back into the drinking supply. Spaceships are by nature, self-contained. Normally human waste is dehydrated, stored and removed by station or maintenance crews.

Wait... so when I am on a spaceship, the water contains human waste? Eww...
No, it contains pure water that has been extracted, filtered and distilled. Even then, only on larger vessels. Smaller craft simply store the waste as is for removal.

If everything is already being reclaimed, what is the difference with this system?
There are two main differences, first we do not dehydrate the waste. Instead we are storing it as biomass. Secondly, we are experimenting with treating the biomass with specially selected alien organisms collected right here in the Omicrons.

Are these alien organisms safe to use?
Absolutely. After treating, the biomass is fermented while still in the ship. This kills off any dangerous organisms. As a bonus, we also reclaim methane gas from the process, which is stored in a secondary system. It's not yet at the level of being commercially viable for bulk distribution, but we are attempting to make headway. None of this could be done as cheaply or easily if we followed the standard dehydration process.

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but how does the diet of your pilots affect your... collection?
This is a good point, the quality of the collected goods varies wildly from pilot to pilot. While we are homogenising the processed product, this can sometimes result in a lower quality than we would like. To this end Ravenna Nagash herself has signed off on a new plan.

A "New Plan" from the Executor?
Special customised rations assigned to any larger ship that has the space for this system to be installed. We are using Synth Paste and Synth Gel donated to us by any generous Synth Foods pilots we meet, to create specially balanced diets for our space-faring crews. We are producing them in a range of... colours and flavours... as requested by Ravenna Nagash.
So far, we have mostly positive reports from the trial vessels.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have other tasks to attend.

And there you have it loyal readers, Deterrence is always trying to find ways to contribute to the well-being of Crete, even when their members are taking the time away from their battle stations.

Now the question is, should I hold it till I'm back in the office?

Hola!

So I've been talking to my good Hermano Multanus the other day, and I said "So how it's going.", to which he said "Busy with paperwork, I have a job for-" to which I told him "I know this guy-" to which he told me "Shut up for a second Marco, I need you go get those Xeno Relics sold for profit, and I don't care where that'll be!" to which I recalled talking to Enez, who spoke to Rodrico, who spoke with Antonio that Gallia got mad thing going for Relics, and they don't even shoot us Cretans on sight!

I jumped into one of them new Bretonian trains we've gotten recently, loaded up the cargo, and off my merry way I went! Except that I may have dozed off immediately after pressing autopilot... and woke up in Tau-37, with nav computer stating I went through Alpha. My best guess is Outcasts going "You see that thing?" to which his buddy goes "Yeah I do, but it ain't making no sense, Bretonian ship coming from Xi?" so they both go take some Cardamine and pay me no mind.

Anyway, I went ahead and made it to Gallia, got lost a few times, ended up circling around Ile-de-France taking in the sights looking for the correct station to dock, only to find out it's their capital planet! And then I spent a lot of time deciding on which of the three docking rings to use...

Then I realized I should be probably bringing something back, so I asked this Hermano who was buying relics off me: "Hey I'm wondering what I could bring back to me Hermanos and Hermanas, what are you sellling?" to which he answered "Uh.. some wine, commodity goods", to which I said "I mean good stuff, stuff you can't get anywhere else, maybe even something you want to get rid of?" so his eyes opened wide and told me about those wrecks from Gallia-Kusari war they apparently had, and Gallia wants those wrecks cleared up, and they said they're selling that stuff one system away where fighting took place, so I went there, docked on the station and told'em Gauls "Hey I want to take some of that Military Salvage back to my Hermanos at Crete, Senor" and they went "Uh, sure Monsieur, I'm assuming you've got the permits?", but I ain't got no permits on me, but me being me, I used my Latino charisma and got them to sell me the goods, but if it were anyone else I don't think they would have succeeded where Marco Pedrez succeeded! Reminds me of that one time I so-

*MESSAGE TOO LONG, TRUNCATING*

-ended up taking the same way back, surely if it worked once it'd work twice, si? But then in Tau-37 I got this weird reading, and this ship started broadcasting some loco stuff, so I stayed away as far as I could, but it just kept going after me, making scary noises, and I tried to make that thing stop, but it just kept doing that scary stuff, and I started wetting my pants at one point, but I managed to back to Reincarnation, an the thing got scared off, but I was still soiled, but here's all the thing said chasing me all the way to Knossos:

Chairetísmata, Mr. Pedrez

Thank you for the report, even though it was very long-winded to the point that I was trying really hard not to lose focus.

You've mentioned that you got your hands on some salvage from the Gallia-Kusari war. This is great news!
I went to visit Tripoli to inspect said salvage, and I'm contacting you from there. Among the scraps are some military-grade components we could refurbish and use to construct more ships and equipment for our fleet. I've set up a temporary workshop to inspect and process what you've already brought.

If we want to bring in some more, we're gonna need that permit ASAP. I'd rather not get on the sour side of the Gallic union, as we've already got enough enemies within Sirius.
I'll put it as top priority on my task list to contact the Gallic government on that matter. If things go well, we should get a constant inflow of military salvage that would allow us to build a full-fledged processing and manufacturing facility. Imagine all the things we could build with that!

As for your encounter with the unknown vessel - I'm so glad you came out alive, and I'm sorry you had to go through such horrors alone. We can't afford to lose any more lives following the fleet battle against the Core in Omicron Delta.
I'll see to it that our next expeditions through hostile space will not go without escort.

Oh, and one more thing: please try to make your messages shorter. Our system has reported several overflows in your message. If it goes on like that, we'll have to ask you to trim them down further prior to submitting.

Hola Commanders,

I'm thrilled to inform you that our convoy to the very heart of Gallic space has been a huge success. Here's the full report:

We began our journey aboard the DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi at Omicron Gamma, with a course set towards the Omegas. At first, our convoy was accompanied by the highly skilled Captain Nox and one of our fresh recruits flying the DTR-Filibuster.



Prior to our arrival at Cologne, two more units informed us that they're on their way back from a survey operation and they'll be joining our convoy. While we were waiting for the additional escorts near Heisenberg Research Station, one cocky independent pirate, callsign "Aro'Tan", tried to demand ransom from us! That poor guy had no idea who he was messing with, so our two escorts and my gunners tore him down to shreds. I almost pity that foolish kid! Well, almost. We docked for repairs and enjoyed some of the local Rheinbier at the bar while our compadres were on their way.

Code:

[30.12.2021 21:01:12] Aro'Tan: Hello!
[30.12.2021 21:01:31] Aro'Tan: What do we have here
[30.12.2021 21:01:33] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hello there
[30.12.2021 21:01:36] DTR-Nox.: Hello
[30.12.2021 21:01:45] Aro'Tan: What a... peculiar cargo
[30.12.2021 21:01:53] DTR-Nox.: Very much so, yes
[30.12.2021 21:02:00] Aro'Tan: So many outcasts
[30.12.2021 21:02:06] Aro'Tan: I believe they do worth a little bit!
[30.12.2021 21:02:08] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: It is a gift, for a very special group of people
[30.12.2021 21:02:14] Aro'Tan: Even better!
[30.12.2021 21:02:23] Aro'Tan: Let's settle it on 15 million credits, hermanos
[30.12.2021 21:02:40] DTR-Nox.: Are you really trying to rob us
[30.12.2021 21:02:43] DTR-Nox.: Three on one?
[30.12.2021 21:02:58] Aro'Tan: Too risky to lose that transport, perhaps!
[30.12.2021 21:02:58] DTR-Nox.: Since we're in a rush I'm willing to part with 5 million
[30.12.2021 21:03:06] DTR-Nox.: Else we're gonna have a problem
[30.12.2021 21:03:21] Aro'Tan: Not everyday i see 200 outcasts being transported to Gallia
[30.12.2021 21:03:36] Aro'Tan: It will remain 15
[30.12.2021 21:03:48] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Not every day we see someone with the nerve to ask ransom from DTR
[30.12.2021 21:04:21] Aro'Tan: Whoever you are, your threats are empty so far away from Gallia, don't stretch your supply lines
[30.12.2021 21:04:40] Aro'Tan: Now, better pay.
[30.12.2021 21:05:12] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: How about we just continue doing our thing and forget it all happened?
[30.12.2021 21:05:13] DTR-Nox.: I don't think we will
[30.12.2021 21:05:22] DTR-Nox.: You had your chance at easy money
[30.12.2021 21:05:28] Aro'Tan: Good. Time to die.
[30.12.2021 21:05:28] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Surely you don't want to make enemy with a whole fleet of Corsairs
[30.12.2021 21:05:30] DTR-Nox.: but your greed blined you
[30.12.2021 21:06:32] Death: Aro'Tan was put out of action by DTR-Nox. (Gun).
[30.12.2021 21:06:56] DTR-Nox.: Well
[30.12.2021 21:06:59] DTR-Nox.: So that just happened
[30.12.2021 21:07:08] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: It was fun
[30.12.2021 21:07:23] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Stupid kids being stupid...
[30.12.2021 21:07:25] 2021-12-30 19:07:25 SMT  Traffic control alert: DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi has requested to dock
[30.12.2021 21:07:32] 2021-12-30 19:07:32 SMT  Traffic control alert: DTR-Nox. has requested to dock

When DTR-Ephemeral and DTR-CNS>Minertaur finally arrived, we set course for the Zurich jump gate.



Our journey through Gallia was very pleasant! The stars were so beautiful, and their trade lanes were an absolute treat! I wish we had those at home. Dashing through the Omicron asteroid fields, flying this monster of a liner, is far from ideal.



Our arrival at Ile-de-France was smooth, and the locals were very warm and welcoming. We were accompanied by a squadron of Gallic Navy fighters, who were very kind and showed us around. I must say, I'm a little disappointed that they had no appreciation to the Outcast pilots we collected for them. They ordered us to execute all 200 on sight! What a waste of good organs... But, well, at least they enjoyed our freshly harvested Artifacts!

Asking for something in return, we were offered a variety of items. Among them were a few packs of well-aged Gallic wine, carried aboard our escorts DTR-Ephemeral and DTR-Nox. I'll admit, we did crack a few bottles open on the way, but the rest are yours, Executor.

More importantly - we've managed to acquire some more of that precious Military Salvage you wanted, Commander Galanis. They also said we already have a permit to carry said salvage through Gallia. I'm no legal expert, but before we launched, I got briefed that we do not have such permit. I'm not sure as to the authority of the Navy officer who said we're allowed to carry Military Salvage, he could be wrong, but nevertheless, the operation went very smoothly and with little to no interference.

I dropped the Military Salvage off at Tripoli as you asked, Commander.


I'll attach the rest of our ships audio log at the end of this message, if you're interested in listening through the entire conversation.

[30.12.2021 21:30:21] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: So, this is the big ol' France
[30.12.2021 21:30:38] DTR-Filibuster: Looked bigger on the starmaps.
[30.12.2021 21:30:42] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Where can we get a Baguette?
[30.12.2021 21:30:48] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Illy-Dee-Fronce?   Is that right?
[30.12.2021 21:31:04] DTR-Filibuster: But with that "Oo Frommagge"!
[30.12.2021 21:31:06] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Me gusta Crossaints. Lets get some...
[30.12.2021 21:31:07] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Oh it has more leters in it? Typical to French
[30.12.2021 21:31:23] DTR-Ephemeral: M: It's pretty out here.  Not as many dust clouds and less raditation.
[30.12.2021 21:31:38] DTR-Filibuster: You are right on that.
[30.12.2021 21:31:42] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Did any of you bring a map? My navigator says "uncharted"
[30.12.2021 21:31:49] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Bonjour.
[30.12.2021 21:31:50] DTR-Ephemeral: M: I'm supposed to be scouting ahead...  Which way are we going again?
[30.12.2021 21:31:58] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:32:03] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Good day, Sir
[30.12.2021 21:32:13] DTR-Filibuster: Hola, companero.
[30.12.2021 21:32:15] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: We bring gifts to the Coucil
[30.12.2021 21:32:20] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Please stay still, performing scan for forbidden or restricted goods.
[30.12.2021 21:32:52] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Why bringing such a corrupted filth as Outcasts to our space?
[30.12.2021 21:33:14] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Gifts and trophies of war.
[30.12.2021 21:33:16] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Ah, we figured you'd like to see some remnants of common enemies
[30.12.2021 21:33:37] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: We use them for spare organs, figured you'd like to do the same
[30.12.2021 21:33:50] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Or anything you'd like, they're all yours
[30.12.2021 21:33:58] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: You don't seem familiar with how their drug work, are you?
[30.12.2021 21:34:23] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Well, their organs usually seem intact, after some processing
[30.12.2021 21:34:23] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Any use of their organs is potential spread of addiction. I guessed Corsairs knew that.
[30.12.2021 21:34:36] \*/~Elroy.Brice: Bonjour Captaine.
[30.12.2021 21:34:44] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Bonjour, Lieutenant.
[30.12.2021 21:34:54] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: If you'd like, we can share the process of organ detox
[30.12.2021 21:34:56] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Are you kidding?  The DNA changes are all geared towards the brain.  ...Hey another one, Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:35:20] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Glad to see some more friends around!
[30.12.2021 21:35:23] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: DNA changes coming across entire body, not brain only. Our researchers confirmed this long ago.
[30.12.2021 21:35:49] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Well, you can dispose them for all we care. We also got you osme of our finest, shiniest artifacts
[30.12.2021 21:35:58] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: That's why any Outcast or any other Cardamine addicted coming here will face same judgement.
[30.12.2021 21:36:13] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Artifacts may find some use in research laboratories indeed, or in private collections.
[30.12.2021 21:36:24] DTR-Ephemeral: M:  Is the judgement death?  Can I kill them?
[30.12.2021 21:36:41] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Would you like us to drop the artifacts somewhere particular?
[30.12.2021 21:36:52] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: We're not really familiar with the place
[30.12.2021 21:36:53] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: It is so indeed, so would yo be kindly to end their existence?
[30.12.2021 21:37:03] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Gladly
[30.12.2021 21:37:13] DTR-Ephemeral: Spacing outcasts!
[30.12.2021 21:37:24] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Planet New Paris is the place to drop the Artifacts off, we shall escort you there. You, also, mentioned the Council. Are -
[30.12.2021 21:37:36] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: - you having outdated information about the situation in Gallia?
[30.12.2021 21:38:05] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: I'm just not really familiar with your gov structure
[30.12.2021 21:38:09] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Seems our captains computer was not flawless...Needs some repairs indeed
[30.12.2021 21:38:10] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Wasn't sure how to call it
[30.12.2021 21:38:48] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: The best way is simplest - calling it the Government would do the trick without need to study our history.
[30.12.2021 21:39:05] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Is union the correct wording?
[30.12.2021 21:39:19] OSI-Infinity: Sakae: Good day.
[30.12.2021 21:39:19] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: It is so indeed, the Gallic Union.
[30.12.2021 21:39:28] Abellio: Well, that's a lot more people than expected.
[30.12.2021 21:39:29] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:39:40] Abellio: Bonsoir.
[30.12.2021 21:39:50] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hola
[30.12.2021 21:39:50] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Bonjour, soldier.
[30.12.2021 21:39:54] DTR-Filibuster: Hola.
[30.12.2021 21:40:01] Abellio: Peculiar cargo and vessels.
[30.12.2021 21:40:02] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Hang on, I'm writing this down...  Oh, Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:40:17] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Shall we procceed? My starmap reads "Uncharted" so if you'd be so kind as to lead
[30.12.2021 21:40:33] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Nothing about them violates any of the Gallic Laws, if you hint on this.
[30.12.2021 21:40:53] Abellio: I'm well aware.
[30.12.2021 21:41:15] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: I don't think this place is a good one to continue our conversation, shall we proceed to Paris?
[30.12.2021 21:41:16] Abellio: Gaston, I assume you're the higher ranked person in your squadron?
[30.12.2021 21:41:24] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Oui.
[30.12.2021 21:41:38] Abellio: Bien. We'll proceed, then. Please, lead the way. I will ensure all follow.
[30.12.2021 21:41:39] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Agreed, we'll move on your mark
[30.12.2021 21:41:58] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Start lanning procedure
[30.12.2021 21:42:55] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Ok...  Choices...  
[30.12.2021 21:42:56] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Excuse our inexperience with trade lanes
[30.12.2021 21:43:11] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: We don't have these back home
[30.12.2021 21:43:12] DTR-Ephemeral: M: This one?
[30.12.2021 21:43:19] DTR-Filibuster: Sorry for that compadres, your lanes are so small...
[30.12.2021 21:43:34] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Somehow they suit a Valor's shape.
[30.12.2021 21:44:09] DTR-Ephemeral: M: THREE RINGS!   Hey guys, they have three rings!
[30.12.2021 21:44:11] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Ilu du Palais is the place for you to drop artifacts on.
[30.12.2021 21:44:14] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Three docking rings? Wow
[30.12.2021 21:44:20] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Well...We are familiar with flying thousands of miles with our cruiose engines back home
[30.12.2021 21:44:36] DTR-Filibuster: No way, really three!
[30.12.2021 21:44:40] Abellio: Hurry up with the cargo unloading procedure. We can chat all day afterwards.
[30.12.2021 21:44:42] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Procceeding to moor
[30.12.2021 21:44:45] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Regulating space traffic was quite problematic hence the three rings.

[30.12.2021 21:45:44] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hope you're happy with the gift!
[30.12.2021 21:46:11] DTR-Ephemeral: M: I've not seen that much green since we attacked the Mollys...
[30.12.2021 21:46:16] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Each of our planets has something unique about it. Paris is probably the most beautiful.
[30.12.2021 21:46:27] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: I agree!
[30.12.2021 21:46:38] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Wish we had so much green at home

[30.12.2021 21:46:42] Abellio: Messieurs et mesdames, as the sole agent present here on behalf of the Naval Intelligence, I welcome you to Gallia. Are there-
[30.12.2021 21:46:44] Abellio: -any questions?
[30.12.2021 21:46:52] 2021-12-30 19:46:53 SMT  Traffic control alert: Sturdy has requested to dock
[30.12.2021 21:47:12] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: I had chance to see your homeworld. Never understood why you won't abandon it and settle somewhere else, since
[30.12.2021 21:47:16] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: many systems remain uncharted.
[30.12.2021 21:47:18] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: yeah, we'd like to bring something back home. Do you have anything you could offer? We can pay up
[30.12.2021 21:47:18] Abellio: Cloak signature nearby.
[30.12.2021 21:47:30] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Anything, we can make do with scraps even
[30.12.2021 21:47:47] Sturdy: hello

[30.12.2021 21:47:53] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Bonjour.

[30.12.2021 21:47:54] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:47:54] DTR-Nox.: Hola, Senor.
[30.12.2021 21:48:02] Abellio: Oui, we do. Gaul Wine of the best quality, along with other important materials.
[30.12.2021 21:48:03] Sturdy: Metal?
[30.12.2021 21:48:09] Sturdy: We do metal!
[30.12.2021 21:48:27] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: I don't think the wine is the most useful thing on Crete.
[30.12.2021 21:48:32] DTR-Filibuster: Compadre seems to be misunderstood.
[30.12.2021 21:48:37] Sturdy: you Might even thing we do Metal Service!
[30.12.2021 21:48:41] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Metal of every kind is interesting for us
[30.12.2021 21:48:41] Sturdy: From Gallia!
[30.12.2021 21:48:57] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Although, its quite a honour to know even a distant space have tasted our finest wine.
[30.12.2021 21:48:59] Sturdy: Some might even say, Gallic Metal Service!
[30.12.2021 21:49:05] Abellio: It is useful for the crews, Gaston.
[30.12.2021 21:49:24] DTR-Nox.: I shall grab a few bottles, in this case.
[30.12.2021 21:49:29] 2021-12-30 19:49:29 SMT  Traffic control alert: DTR-Nox. has requested to dock
[30.12.2021 21:49:40] Abellio: See? Useful after all. Now back to more important matters.
[30.12.2021 21:49:42] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Capitaine Corbeil, soldier. We're not off duty yet.
[30.12.2021 21:49:59] Abellio: My apologies, Capitaine.
[30.12.2021 21:50:26] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Your callsign seems familiar... Anyway. What matters do you have in mind?
[30.12.2021 21:50:38] Abellio: Do you propose we grant them the clearance to procure some military salvage?
[30.12.2021 21:50:48] Abellio: Our miner here can assist.
[30.12.2021 21:51:12] Sturdy: Somebody say mining?
[30.12.2021 21:51:14] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: As far as I recall all Corsairs have Military Salvage license thanks to either Iberian or Black Flag Corsairs' effort.
[30.12.2021 21:51:29] UC/-Tahtiherra: Bonju
[30.12.2021 21:51:33] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hola!
[30.12.2021 21:51:38] DTR-Filibuster: Hola.
[30.12.2021 21:51:43] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: And I think Lunel may have some Military Salvage aboard.
[30.12.2021 21:51:52] Abellio: Then we shall head there.
[30.12.2021 21:51:57] DTR-Ephemeral: M: No we don't.  No clearance for salvage.
[30.12.2021 21:51:57] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Please, give me a minute to access the database to confirm their license.
[30.12.2021 21:51:59] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Actually, we got a memo from the High Commander that we do not have clearende for Military Salvage
[30.12.2021 21:52:01] Abellio: Corsairs, do you agree with the proposal?
[30.12.2021 21:52:18] DTR-Nox.: Let's wait for Senor Corbeil to check.
[30.12.2021 21:52:32] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Yes, they do have clearance, approved January 24, 744.
[30.12.2021 21:52:33] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Well, we don't want to break any laws
[30.12.2021 21:52:40] Abellio: Capitaine Gaston, the newly-appeared vessel, callsign Nymph, displays a Nomad signature.
[30.12.2021 21:52:45] Abellio: I suggest we take action.
[30.12.2021 21:52:45] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: From... yeah, Black Flag Corsairs, applied to entire Folk of Crete.
[30.12.2021 21:53:21] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Nymph is an agent of Union Intelligence, not a mythical Nomad.
[30.12.2021 21:53:45] Nymph-[Fae: Oui.
[30.12.2021 21:53:51] Abellio: That is false.
[30.12.2021 21:53:52] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Although use of Sirian equipment rise concerns about their sanity.
[30.12.2021 21:53:57] Abellio: You know it well.
[30.12.2021 21:54:22] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Alright, Military Salvage will please the Executor. If you'd be so kind as to lead us to a place where-
[30.12.2021 21:54:26] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: -we can acquire some
[30.12.2021 21:54:46] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Let's take the right road so you won't have to interract with Interspace Commerce.
[30.12.2021 21:54:48] Abellio: Follow. And please, hurry. We have some more important matters to attend to.
[30.12.2021 21:54:58] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Please, proceed to Compiegne Military Academy.
[30.12.2021 21:55:05] DTR-Ephemeral: M:  Senor Multaanus said to get him some wine.  Permission to get some?
[30.12.2021 21:55:15] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Depends who you asking.
[30.12.2021 21:55:15] Sturdy: will you need a miner?
[30.12.2021 21:55:23] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Stick with us, perhaps they will need.
[30.12.2021 21:55:24] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Go for it, just make sure not to get lost here
[30.12.2021 21:56:53] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Purple? Ive never saw a purple Planet! Beautiful!
[30.12.2021 21:57:12] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: One of the most boring planets in Gallic space, I think.
[30.12.2021 21:57:19] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Quite a marvel, Gallic space is beautiful
[30.12.2021 21:57:22] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Ohh..
[30.12.2021 21:57:36] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: The Executor will love some pictures
[30.12.2021 21:57:46] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: I have to take some
[30.12.2021 21:59:16] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: From Briancon toward the icy planet following wrecks of trade lane rings.
[30.12.2021 21:59:41] Abellio: We've reached the destination. Cargo ship is to moor with the Lunel terminal, I've already informed the crew to ready several-
[30.12.2021 21:59:44] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: First blue, then red, beautiful!

[30.12.2021 21:59:50] Abellio: Is that clear?
[30.12.2021 21:59:59] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Hm, do they? Nice.
[30.12.2021 22:00:12] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Proceeding to moor on your discretion

[30.12.2021 22:02:50] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: maybe another time
[30.12.2021 22:03:54] Abellio: Is everyone here?
[30.12.2021 22:03:56] DTR-Nox.: Let's wait for our Compadre
[30.12.2021 22:04:03] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Take left path this time, it will be faster.
[30.12.2021 22:04:09] DTR-Nox.: And here he is
[30.12.2021 22:04:13] DTR-Filibuster: There you are.
[30.12.2021 22:04:14] Abellio: Let's proceed.
[30.12.2021 22:04:23] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Try to stick to the formation guys
[30.12.2021 22:04:27] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Sorry, this place is so pretty it's distracting.
[30.12.2021 22:04:47] DTR-Nox.: It is very... shiny, indeed.
[30.12.2021 22:05:20] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: It's the calm exclusion inside the heart of nebula
[30.12.2021 22:05:31] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: It can't be dim here
[30.12.2021 22:05:53] DTR-Nox.: It would explain how Gallia remained unknown to the Sirius for so long.
[30.12.2021 22:06:33] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Doubt our reveal in the past would change much. At least, for us. We always were distant
[30.12.2021 22:07:22] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: I'm glad we got such a warm welcome, despite the distance
[30.12.2021 22:07:24] DTR-Nox.: Not so distant now thanks to Zurich corridor.
[30.12.2021 22:07:31] DTR-Ephemeral: M: I like it here.  I'll have to make a trip again when I can afford the H-Fuel...
[30.12.2021 22:08:21] Abellio: Await here.
[30.12.2021 22:08:39] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: So, as I said, you can switch to a MOX propulsion or try...
[30.12.2021 22:08:48] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: ...experimental CNO-X propulsion.
[30.12.2021 22:08:56] DTR-Ephemeral: MOX is more expensive than H-Fuel...
[30.12.2021 22:09:26] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: It is so indeed, but CNO-X allow to use both MOX and Gallic fuel, although its still unstable technology.
[30.12.2021 22:09:54] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: I think I saw some CNO engines in Newport
[30.12.2021 22:10:00] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: But isnt MOX much more efficient? 1 tile of MOX is like 20 of H-Fuel. If i can remember
[30.12.2021 22:10:23] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Newport?
[30.12.2021 22:10:27] DTR-Ephemeral: M: I like your engines...  I do not think they will work in my ship though.  I'll take a look next time I'm patrolling there.
[30.12.2021 22:10:42] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Oh, it's in Sigmas. I doublt you'll be familiar with the place
[30.12.2021 22:11:05] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Your guess is right, we are not familiar well with that space.
[30.12.2021 22:11:17] DTR-Ephemeral: M:  HEY!   I patrol the Sigmas...   Every now and then.
[30.12.2021 22:12:09] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: So, do we part ways at the Cologne gate?
[30.12.2021 22:12:16] Abellio: Affirmative.
[30.12.2021 22:12:28] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: We will escort you straight to the gate and then depart back.
[30.12.2021 22:13:05] DTR-Ephemeral: M:  Many thanks!  Which exit are we using?
[30.12.2021 22:13:12] DTR-Nox.: The Gate of course.
[30.12.2021 22:13:13] Abellio: The jump gate, obviously.
[30.12.2021 22:13:37] DTR-Ephemeral: M: Oh yeah...  Civillised space...
[30.12.2021 22:13:54] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: I'll miss those trade lanes. So comfy!
[30.12.2021 22:13:54] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: We doubt there any stable rift leading to Cologne or else, since the system is way too far. Anyway...
[30.12.2021 22:14:00] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hmm...I will miss the beautifulness of Gallia space. THese planets here are not the same
[30.12.2021 22:14:09] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: ...here we are. Make sure to be careful on your way home.
[30.12.2021 22:14:13] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Alright genrlemen, it's been a pleasure
[30.12.2021 22:14:20] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hasta luego!
[30.12.2021 22:14:22] Abellio: Au revoir.
[30.12.2021 22:14:28] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hope we see each other again
[30.12.2021 22:14:31] DTR-Filibuster: Vaya con tios.
[30.12.2021 22:14:33] DTR-Nox.: As per your query regarding moving to a different, more hospitable planet, sadly Omicrons aren't exactly dense with-
[30.12.2021 22:14:36] DTR-Nox.: Planets supporting life
[30.12.2021 22:14:39] \*/~Gaston.Corbeil.: Its mutual. Safe journey.
[30.12.2021 22:16:12] DTR-Filibuster: That went quite bueno, I'd say.
[30.12.2021 22:16:41] DTR-Ephemeral: M:  You think Senor Multannus will mind if I open one of these bottles?
[30.12.2021 22:16:59] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: If you do, beam one up over here
[30.12.2021 22:17:10] DTR-Filibuster: Do it - and share, compadre.
[30.12.2021 22:17:46] DTR-Ephemeral: M: If I do that, there won't be any left...
[30.12.2021 22:25:34] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Just got a comm from High Commander Galanis, dropping these off in his workshop at Tripoli
[30.12.2021 22:25:41] DTR-Nox.: Understood
[30.12.2021 22:25:52] DTR-Nox.: I hope this cargo hold full of Military Salvage fetches a good price!
[30.12.2021 22:26:24] DTR-Nox.: Hola!
[30.12.2021 22:26:26] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Hola Junker!
[30.12.2021 22:26:29] DTR-Filibuster: Hola.
[30.12.2021 22:26:29] Oprixy: hola senors
[30.12.2021 22:27:13] Oprixy: Glorious day i hope
[30.12.2021 22:27:29] DTR-CNS>Minertaur: Indeed!
[30.12.2021 22:27:30] DTR-Nox.: Most glorious one!

Hola Commanders,

Seems like the lucky bull never strikes once! Here I am, reporting to you with yet another successful convoy to distant skies under my command.

Our journey began with Planet Knossos, where our miners worked hard to fill up three heavy transports - including my own flagship, DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi, and our brother from the Black Flag Corsairs flying the "BFC|Pegaso". When the transports were full, I let Ioannis Daskalakis, captain of DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo plot the course for our convoy. When he first said that we're going through the Beta jump gate, I was skeptical. But, as his ship's name suggests, Ioannis is quite the stealth expert. We were in and out of Beta in no-time, long before the Outcasts would even notice. We then proceeded through Sigmas and then through Kusari space. We caught up with a Zoner vessel named "Wavefront," who agreed to escort us throughout the entire operation for nothing but the glory of the kill.

Upon reaching Colorado, we've had an unexpected yet predictable encounter with the Xenos. They demanded that we acquire their approval to move through Liberty space. Being a powerful criminal organization in Liberty, I had no intention whatsoever to get in trouble with them. After all, engaging them would mean trouble for the entirety of DTR. Following a rather rough negotiation, the Xenos approved of our operation and even agreed to follow as escorts. Here are some recordings from the Megisti Anesi:

Code:

[01.01.2022 22:28:34] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Hola Xenos
[01.01.2022 22:28:42] XA-Cobra: You mind explaining what all of you are doing here?
[01.01.2022 22:28:47] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Trading
[01.01.2022 22:28:50] Wavefront: just passing through
[01.01.2022 22:28:51] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Ola.
[01.01.2022 22:28:52] DTR-Filibuster: Hola.
[01.01.2022 22:28:52] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Wan't some relics?
[01.01.2022 22:28:52] XA-Cobra: Without our consent?
[01.01.2022 22:29:02] Wavefront: what consent?
[01.01.2022 22:29:09] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Didn't we use to have your consent?
[01.01.2022 22:29:09] XA-Cobra: This is our home, not yours.
[01.01.2022 22:29:12] XA-Cobra: You ask before you walk in.
[01.01.2022 22:29:24] XA-Cobra: The only group that's asked has been the Brotherhood.
[01.01.2022 22:29:51] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Look, guy, we don't have much time and being targeted, we can deal, and good
[01.01.2022 22:29:53] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: We were among them, in many convoys, earlier last year.
[01.01.2022 22:29:54] Wavefront: auxo coming most likely
[01.01.2022 22:30:00] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Provide us escort, and you get 20 million credits
[01.01.2022 22:30:09] XA-Cobra: Unless you want your business trip cancelled, I would suggest more patience and respect.
[01.01.2022 22:30:13] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Xenos are neutral and good business partners
[01.01.2022 22:30:16] XA-Cobra: Calling me "guy" and being hasty is going to get you killed.
[01.01.2022 22:30:16] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: I do remember seeing you there at Ouray.
[01.01.2022 22:30:24] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Yea, we are being followed
[01.01.2022 22:30:27] XA-Cobra: And that's not a threat, it's a promise.
[01.01.2022 22:30:28] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: We do respect you
[01.01.2022 22:30:34] XA-Cobra: Then act like you do.
[01.01.2022 22:30:38] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hey, we don't want any trouble. What do you want from us to grant safe passage?
[01.01.2022 22:30:55] XA-Cobra: Where are you headed?
[01.01.2022 22:30:59] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: California
[01.01.2022 22:31:02] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Fontana
[01.01.2022 22:31:29] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: I wasn't aware every Corsair group needs a seperate allowance. Sorry, my bad.
[01.01.2022 22:31:46] XA-Cobra: It's basic courtesy.
[01.01.2022 22:31:55] XA-Cobra: But anyway.
[01.01.2022 22:32:01] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: If that is what you wish, I will make sure that I, and the Deterrence will arrange everything needed via the neural net.
[01.01.2022 22:32:05] XA-Cobra: I'm expecting an apology.
[01.01.2022 22:32:41] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: You have my apology. We did not mean to disrespect the Xenos.
[01.01.2022 22:32:47] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: We apologize for not providing the request beforehand because of lack of information, but we are willing to trade with you
[01.01.2022 22:32:51] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: And not only one time
[01.01.2022 22:32:54] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: More relics will come
[01.01.2022 22:32:58] XA-Cobra: Good.
[01.01.2022 22:33:15] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: An apology is definitely due. We understand the wrongs we've done and we should've applied for safe passage prior-
[01.01.2022 22:33:18] XA-Cobra: And for future correspondence, call me "Cobra" - not "guy."
[01.01.2022 22:33:22] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: -to coming here. We're sorry
[01.01.2022 22:33:40] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Alright, Cobra. 20 millions for protection till Fontana
[01.01.2022 22:33:53] XA-Cobra: You can do better than that.
[01.01.2022 22:34:00] XA-Cobra: This is a huge haul and you barged in here.
[01.01.2022 22:34:01] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: And relics to your market, obviously
[01.01.2022 22:34:03] XA-Cobra: Double it.
[01.01.2022 22:34:41] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Well guys, what do you think?
[01.01.2022 22:34:57] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: I guess we can afford a goodwill gesture if it pays out on our next runs
[01.01.2022 22:35:07] XA-Cobra: Good, wire it.
[01.01.2022 22:35:10] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Let's check if they are trustworthy. After all Xenos are good for trade.
[01.01.2022 22:35:14] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: I am sending the money
[01.01.2022 22:35:23] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Done
[01.01.2022 22:35:46] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Xenos always have their price. But from what I've heard, they have proven to be worth it.
[01.01.2022 22:35:51] XA-Cobra: Received, a pleasure.
[01.01.2022 22:35:58] XA-Cobra: Follow after us.
[01.01.2022 22:36:06] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Alright people, let's move till the filthy Auxo gets us
[01.01.2022 22:36:14] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Allright, escorts after them. I go last.
[01.01.2022 22:36:14] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Jumping in
[01.01.2022 22:36:49] XA-Cobra: I hope you're here purely for transit.

Arriving at Ontario, we had a predictable encounter with a few Auxesians. However, they seemed to have no intention to engage in combat. Very non-typical of them.

Code:

[01.01.2022 22:37:08] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Predictable
[01.01.2022 22:37:09] Vyrix: Mission indicates patrolling Kepler anomaly area.
[01.01.2022 22:37:13] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Auxesians, what a surprise
[01.01.2022 22:37:14] Vyrix: Passing through.
[01.01.2022 22:37:14] A/)-Basilisk.1: Affirmative.
[01.01.2022 22:37:22] chramey: I hope those rare pieces of scientific material aren't destined for open markets.
[01.01.2022 22:37:25] XA-Cobra: Convoy, continue on course.
[01.01.2022 22:37:29] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Why am I not surprised?
[01.01.2022 22:37:35] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Affirmative
[01.01.2022 22:37:45] Vyrix: Why do they seem so nervous?
[01.01.2022 22:37:53] DTR-Filibuster: Filis: That was...peculiar.
[01.01.2022 22:37:54] chramey: They fear us, it's natural.
[01.01.2022 22:38:10] A/)-Basilisk.1: Proceeding to waypoint

We parted ways with the Xenos near Fontana, then went to pick up some Helium from Pennsylvania for the way back.

Code:

[01.01.2022 22:43:28] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Thank you for your cooperation Xenos, we will be sure to keep saturating your market further. Safe skies.
[01.01.2022 22:43:37] XA-Cobra: Liberty or death.
[01.01.2022 22:43:46] 2022-01-01 20:43:45 SMT  Traffic control alert: DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo has requested to dock
[01.01.2022 22:43:50] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Ravenna Vult!

[01.01.2022 22:44:15] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Much appreciated, Cobra, Diadem. I will let you know next time we visit.
[01.01.2022 22:44:29] 2022-01-01 20:44:28 SMT  Traffic control alert: BFC|Pegaso has requested to dock

Our way back was very interesting. Ioannis plotted a course through Bretonian space into the Omegas in an attempt to avoid conflict. An ally from The Brotherhood joined us on our way.

Code:

[01.01.2022 23:14:16] BFC|Pegaso: Ola Pepe.
[01.01.2022 23:14:19] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Hola amigo
[01.01.2022 23:14:24] Pepe:Ladron-[TBH]: Hola hermanos.
[01.01.2022 23:14:36] BFC|Pegaso: We are heading to the Omegas. We might be followed. Could use our way.
[01.01.2022 23:14:37] DTR-Filibuster: Hola, compadre.
[01.01.2022 23:15:00] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Hola mate
[01.01.2022 23:15:04] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Have a deathwish?
[01.01.2022 23:15:06] Pepe:Ladron-[TBH]: is RV in cambridge ok?
[01.01.2022 23:15:11] Wavefront: heading omega 3 JH
[01.01.2022 23:15:17] BFC|Pegaso: No, RV on the way.
[01.01.2022 23:15:24] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Okay.

Despite Ioannis' stealthy course, we still had a very unpleasant encounter with the BAF. Our escorts, DTR-Filibuster and Pepe:Ladron-[TBH], were taken down by the Brets. Wavefront managed to catch the escape pods and return them safely to our home, while also slaying the Bretonians very efficiently.

Code:

[01.01.2022 23:15:25] Wavefront: greetings
[01.01.2022 23:15:29] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French
[01.01.2022 23:15:37] DTR-CCS>Ghost.Bravo: Terminate him.
[01.01.2022 23:15:40] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: This is Commander Seeley French, Armed Forces.
[01.01.2022 23:15:51] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Oh my.
[01.01.2022 23:15:52] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: Argh!
[01.01.2022 23:15:58] Wavefront: jumphole now
[01.01.2022 23:16:06] Wavefront: this group is under our protection
[01.01.2022 23:16:10] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: Nay, you aren't going anywhere!
[01.01.2022 23:16:13] Wavefront: just passing through
[01.01.2022 23:16:18] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: I cannot let Corsairs pass!
[01.01.2022 23:16:18] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: Stay off. You will regret it.
[01.01.2022 23:16:25] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: Stop right there, please!
[01.01.2022 23:16:34] Wavefront: we are almost clear of bretonia territory
[01.01.2022 23:17:15] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: Right then.
[01.01.2022 23:17:25] Wavefront: please hold off
[01.01.2022 23:17:32] Wavefront: we are beyond your territory now
[01.01.2022 23:17:45] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: You disobeyed an officer's orders, this is what you get.
[01.01.2022 23:18:06] Wavefront: very well, powering up weapons
[01.01.2022 23:18:06] Flex.Tape: French, I'll need orders.
[01.01.2022 23:18:14] Wavefront: all weapons on those bretonias
[01.01.2022 23:18:16] Flex.Tape: What's the situation? Corsairs, evidently.
[01.01.2022 23:18:17] Wavefront: open fire!
[01.01.2022 23:18:25] Flex.Tape: Seems they might be making the call for me.
[01.01.2022 23:18:25] DTR-Filibuster: Opening fire!
[01.01.2022 23:18:35] BFC|Pegaso: Lucia: This is unacceptable.
[01.01.2022 23:18:40] BFC|Pegaso has set BAF|HMS-Indefatigable as group target.
[01.01.2022 23:18:48] Flex.Tape: Strange allies, Zoner.
[01.01.2022 23:19:13] BAF|HMS-Indefatigable: French: This Zoner is working for them!
[01.01.2022 23:20:09] Death: DTR-Filibuster was put out of action by Flex.Tape (Mine).
[01.01.2022 23:23:12] Death: BAF|HMS-Indefatigable was put out of action by Wavefront (Gun).

Ending our convoy at Corfu, we dropped off the Helium and proceeded back to Crete. Despite a few losses, great profits were made, and we've returned victorious to our borders.
I do recommend considering a long-term relationship with the Xenos. They've proved very competent in fending off unwanted attention.

Buenas dias to the High Command

as per direct order from High Commander Eros Galanis I am submitting my report on the violent incident that took place in the outskirts of the Munich system -
given my position as highest ranking officer in active duty of the warship "DTR-CNS>Escorial". The Capitan is currently indisposed,
needing immediate medical care. The ship suffered a near-direct hit to our bridge section.
Excuse me, I was getting ahead of events.

While being headed for the Munich system alongside our compadres in their battleship "DTR-CNS>Obstinate", we encountered a warband
of equal size, brothers and sisters of the Corsair Empire: The Dreadnoughts "BFC|CNS-Imperador" and "Fisar":
As I am not privy to the communication of my Capitan and his peers of rank,
I can only report of the merging of the warbands and the joined voyage to Munich.
There we encountered a tremendous amount of enemies!
The Rheinland Military reacted to our presence almost immediately, mustering warships and even the support of Bounty Hunters calling themselves a deviation of the term "Hitman".
And as we hastily accumulated some handsome loot and prepared for a safe exit,
the scanners of our then de-facto flagship "Imperador" picked up an anomaly in their formation:
Their (presumed) Admiral's warship the "Admiral.Krotchofe" was far in front, making haste after us alone.
The consensus of the Capitan's was clear: Utilize this lucky coincidence!

We caught the Rheinland leviathan right at the Munich-Xi-Jumphole and gave turbulent chase.
Near the sun we finally caught up, impaired and then dissected it. The "DTR-CNS>Obstinate" ensured itself the honor of delivering the final salvo!



But the time it took to bring the Admiral's warship down, allowed them to catch up to us.
The situation was utmost dire and too chaotic to even get a decent hold on the definite amount of enemy warships:
The flotilla of the RM was accompanied by a almost literal swarm of Bounty Hunters
we were outnumbered almost two-to-one. Flight seemed to be no option and again the Capitan's decided almost immediately in unison:
Stand and fight!

We did... And the fact that I am committing the support and not my superior in rank might be the clearest sign of the outcome.
In this uneven battle it was possible for our warband to at least decimate the present pesky Bounty Hunters to half their fighter swarm.




Alas, not only the ship I serve on received significant damage, the other three warships fared no better.





We were not able to find victory, moreover had to accept defeat and retreat...

I implore in the High Command to not sanction my Capitan for the failure of facilitating a more favourable outcome.
After extensive repairs, our warship can be returned to active duty, I am sure of this!

Ravenna Vult!,

Kaliste, High Command!


Our diplomatic mission to Kepler has been a resounding success, we managed to resolve the situation without shooting up the place, much to my surprise.
The journey itself was extremely uneventful, evading Kusari forces went without a hitch using the same route as last time.

This time I kept Ares nearby, while Sauro went ahead, scouting for any potential roadblocks on our way back, which thankfully turned out to be redundant.

Once we arrived to Crete, the shuttle carrying the Executor and other dignitaries disembarked, while I moved Olympus to Rhodes for repairs.

In light of our resounding success, I'm inviting all Hermanos and Hermanas to a party at my place on Crete, drinks all paid for!

Kaliste, High Command!


I have news regarding our latest operation in deep Nomad Worlds.

Based on information from Core captives, as well as our allies in Order, a particularly active structure was observed on the Dyson Sphere of Omicron Major. As per High Command requested, I drafted up a plan to raid the structure for any artifacts worth plundering from the blueberry hands...tentacles?

In any case, this brings is to events of a few days ago: our designated fighter wings assembled in Xi, but while preparing to leave, we were visited by none other than Pepe Ladron! He expressed interest in joining our raid, and we happily obliged.

Our march proceeded smoothly up until transiting from Psi to Major, where one of our bomber craft took massive damage to it's hull while passing through the alien gate. We continued taking heavy fire from the nomad fleets, but managed to get the first squadron to the designated site, while the second squadron including Senor Ladron kept the squids engaged topside. We managed to secure the relic and began evacuating the area, unfortunately higher, more dangerous forms made their way to us by then, and we've lost a few craft to the aliens chasing after us, but their sacrifice was not in vain. We managed to return the plundered artifact to Amorgos site, as per instructions.
