Subject: Leap forward in Smuggler situation

We have made progress today. I have intercepted a corsair smuggler DTR-CCS>Kolkan

We know that the Xeno Relics originate in Omicron Gamma, whoever is distributing them in Liberty is using Fontana Freeportas a distribution point. The smugglers have Multiple entry points leading to California, and are even using Our own infrastructure including the New York Jump Gate to get the dangerous contraband in.

Code:
[01.10.2022 08:20:27] 1st|T-Opportunity: CUT YOUR ENGINES

[01.10.2022 08:20:36] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: Relax dude

[01.10.2022 08:20:49] 1st|T-Opportunity: This is Opportunity, transport of the First Armada

[01.10.2022 08:20:56] 1st|T-Opportunity: State your intention

[01.10.2022 08:21:14] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:My intension? 

[01.10.2022 08:21:31] 1st|T-Opportunity: That is correct - I am sure you have some story behind your cargo *laughs*

[01.10.2022 08:22:08] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:A person on fontana wants this, but yeah

[01.10.2022 08:22:31] 1st|T-Opportunity: Well, maybe you are aware your faction, vessel and cargo are Illegal in Liberty? 

[01.10.2022 08:22:40] 1st|T-Opportunity: Perhaps you were not - I would like to hear that story! 

[01.10.2022 08:23:13] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:I knowits illegal here in your space? *smiles*

[01.10.2022 08:23:31] 1st|T-Opportunity: Oh well, that makes things simpler doesn't it *smiles*

[01.10.2022 08:23:37] 1st|T-Opportunity: Tell you what, you seem like an honest man

[01.10.2022 08:23:47] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:But i can leave your Space and all is fine "officer"?

[01.10.2022 08:23:51] 1st|T-Opportunity: You already told me you are going to Fontana, well that is good

[01.10.2022 08:24:02] 1st|T-Opportunity: How about you tell me where you got these from in the first place? 

[01.10.2022 08:24:59] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:i think you must check the people on fontana what they want. i mean a freeport witrh illegal activities in your space?

[01.10.2022 08:25:04] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:outworld

[01.10.2022 08:25:24] 1st|T-Opportunity: Well, how about we are more specific? Where *exactly* did you acquire this cargo

[01.10.2022 08:25:42] 1st|T-Opportunity: And not that it is your concern, we are aware of our Smuggling problem

[01.10.2022 08:26:19] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:it was a suggest, not more 

[01.10.2022 08:26:31] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:Omicron systems

[01.10.2022 08:26:44] 1st|T-Opportunity: Let's be more specific shall we? 

[01.10.2022 08:26:55] 1st|T-Opportunity: Where exactly do these come from, what do your people call the system? 

[01.10.2022 08:27:52] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:Omicron Gamma, but you dont want to enter this system *laughs*

[01.10.2022 08:28:28] 1st|T-Opportunity: Now we're talking, a honest man you are indeed. One last question - from what system do your people keep entering California

[01.10.2022 08:28:44] 1st|T-Opportunity: Under our noses so to speak

[01.10.2022 08:28:53] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:and the sellpoint has a huge defensering, thats all what i can say, but i have talk to much to you....

[01.10.2022 08:29:33] 1st|T-Opportunity: Like I said, one last question - from what system do you smugglers enter California, you are so close to sparing yourself! 

[01.10.2022 08:29:34] 1st|T-Opportunity: Why stop now

[01.10.2022 08:30:05] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:Relax

[01.10.2022 08:30:27] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:We enter the system from various points *Smiles*

[01.10.2022 08:30:37] 1st|T-Opportunity: Well, give me one

[01.10.2022 08:30:42] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:you cant defense all entrypoints *laughs*

[01.10.2022 08:30:53] 1st|T-Opportunity: Why would you care if you enter from many, surely

[01.10.2022 08:30:59] 1st|T-Opportunity: As you said - we can't defend them all

[01.10.2022 08:31:10] 1st|T-Opportunity: What system, one do you enter California? 

[01.10.2022 08:31:16] 1st|T-Opportunity: From

[01.10.2022 08:31:29] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:One example you want? California Jump Gate?

[01.10.2022 08:31:38] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: New York?

[01.10.2022 08:31:38] 1st|T-Opportunity: From where would that be

[01.10.2022 08:31:52] 1st|T-Opportunity: You are using our damn infrastructure? *curses*

[01.10.2022 08:32:15] 1st|T-Opportunity: :takes a deep breath: :Van Leer remembers that this small fry is nothing compared to the swarms of smugglers: 

[01.10.2022 08:32:21] 1st|T-Opportunity: I did say one question, you answered

[01.10.2022 08:32:40] 1st|T-Opportunity: I will take 2000 of the Relics as evidence and you are free to go after you release them

[01.10.2022 08:33:22] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:Fine, a cooperative Officer, nice

[01.10.2022 08:33:29] Death: Alex_Morin was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[01.10.2022 08:34:01] 1st|T-Opportunity: You saved your skin, and are free to go. Tell your people, The First Armada is here to guard Liberty

[01.10.2022 08:34:13] 1st|T-Opportunity: You smugglers are best finding someplace else to pollute with these dangerous artifacts

[01.10.2022 08:34:19] DTR-CCS>Kolkan: K:yeah

[01.10.2022 08:34:20] 1st|T-Opportunity: Now be on your way

I won't even show proof for all these crimes - nomad technology, Navy Equipment, Trespassing, the Freelancer got what was coming for him by the hand of Gold-Texas

Not so successful
After this we have discovered one HS>Chamuscado
Me and Red-55 have put up an intense battle, but eventually, the heavily damaged vessel prevailed, and might now be roaming Liberty.

Subject: 823 AS Peace Treaty

> Rheinland-Liberty Peace Treaty 823 AS < was discussed with Rheinland Military in Hudson. We No Longer control the trade lane to Atka as per the outdated treaty that doesn't take into account the recent spatial shifts of the system. One of their so-called upper lieutenants Trau Habermeyer will bring the matter up with her higher-ups. We have also found that the incident with purged logs has not led to further issues, and have met a bounty hunter and a freelancer

Code:
[09.11.2022 15:06:40] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Good day

[09.11.2022 15:06:55] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Esteemed...Scrap metal hauler? 

[09.11.2022 15:06:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - guten Tag there, Navy. *She sounds mildy suprised, yet friendly.*

[09.11.2022 15:07:21] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: *A light chuckle follows.* Ahaha... no, that has other reasons. Oberleutnant Traudel Habermeyer, Rheinwehr. Delighted.

[09.11.2022 15:07:46] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Admiral Van Leer, at your service - I was merely commenting on your cargohold

[09.11.2022 15:08:04] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It's not every day you see a Military vessel with Scrap Metal *laughs*

[09.11.2022 15:08:29] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: What does Oberlautnant mean if you will pardon my ignorance 

[09.11.2022 15:08:40] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, Admiral? Well - sir. *Despite different Houses, respect is shown.* I do admit, it is not the most usual sight to behold. 

[09.11.2022 15:09:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Call it a personal matter of sating curiosity on the off chance i run into someone again...

[09.11.2022 15:10:29] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well is Oberlautnant - I will not even guess, what sort of Rank is that? 

[09.11.2022 15:12:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You may translate it as ... 'upper lieutenant', i believe. I'm nowhere near High Command, sir. Leading smaller wings for 

[09.11.2022 15:12:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: patrols or do them on my own, mainly.

[09.11.2022 15:12:22] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see! What brings you to Hudson today 

[09.11.2022 15:12:37] Changing screen mode=windowed

[09.11.2022 15:12:53] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Exactly that - patrols. And prior ... dealings in this regard. I had two instances of smugglers managing to escape me here,

[09.11.2022 15:13:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: unfortunately. Sitka over there holds a lot of mystery... 

[09.11.2022 15:13:23] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see - I have come to investigate the legal matters of the system

[09.11.2022 15:13:41] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: There have been known instances of Xeno activity here we have been dealing with

[09.11.2022 15:13:51] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Now there are the issues of legality of the system

[09.11.2022 15:13:59] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Are you familiar with the matter? 

[09.11.2022 15:14:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This ... sounds somewhat bigger than artifact hauling smugglers. One was a Rogue, to be expected. The other, less so. Crayter, 

[09.11.2022 15:14:46] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: if you believe it. But ah... nein, please. Elaborate this for me properly, my current understanding is it is ... well. Indepent

[09.11.2022 15:14:48] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Oh yes, I have read the reports of the incident 

[09.11.2022 15:14:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: -ent space.

[09.11.2022 15:15:09] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: One of ours has pursued a Rogue Frigate with contraband on board to an unknown jump hole

[09.11.2022 15:15:27] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It turned out to be Rheinland I believe - the Rogue was taken down, but we had questions to answer

[09.11.2022 15:15:36] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: All logs were purged when our Gunboat came back 

[09.11.2022 15:15:49] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Perhaps you have run into one of the Smuggling Frigates

[09.11.2022 15:15:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer:  ... ... that ... ... happened. Right. It was earlier, way earler than that Rogue i chased. 

[09.11.2022 15:15:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Was a Rhino Freighter.

[09.11.2022 15:16:12] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see, they are downgrading it would seem. I am glad we have not caused an incident

[09.11.2022 15:16:38] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It is our Modus Operandi to not let criminal activity unpunished, we enjoy the front lines of duty so to speak

[09.11.2022 15:16:52] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And good day Bounty Hunter, it's good to know some of you are doing their job here *sighs*

[09.11.2022 15:16:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I am not at liberty to discuss the jump hole matter i am afraid, sir. So nein, no bigger waves from my limited point of view

[09.11.2022 15:16:56] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: at least.

[09.11.2022 15:17:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, Hunter. Guten Tag.

[09.11.2022 15:17:24] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well, our gunboat's logs and sensors were completely purged, I assume it got somewhere you didn't want it to go *laughs*

[09.11.2022 15:17:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Believe me, I know the feeling, we may or may not have places like that in Liberty

[09.11.2022 15:18:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That ... may very well be the case, quite so indeed. I suppose there might potentially be something similar in Lib-... ah, ja. 

[09.11.2022 15:18:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Officially, of course not, we are all transparent *laughs*

[09.11.2022 15:18:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well yes now to the legal matter that brings us here

[09.11.2022 15:19:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Just rumors, just rumors. Certainly. *Amused.* Now ... ah. The legality of this system i believe you called it, sir?

[09.11.2022 15:19:07] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Are you aware of the Treaty of 823 between Rheinland and Liberty? 

[09.11.2022 15:19:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Goodness me, refresh my memory please, sir. I would have to look up the details otherwise.

[09.11.2022 15:20:18] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It was the peace treaty after the unfortunate conflict that revolved around this system, New Hampshire and so forth

[09.11.2022 15:20:42] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That brought peace to our houses. It all worked out but now with the shifts in the system seems to need amending

[09.11.2022 15:20:57] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: You may want to look it up and see for yourself

[09.11.2022 15:21:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhm, ja. One of many unfortunate wars. *Clears her throat.* Life is ever changing, isn't it? I was, depending on ones view-

[09.11.2022 15:21:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: point fortunate or unfortunate enough to have been stuck on an Oder far out on a recon campaign. We rejoined late, near the end

[09.11.2022 15:22:57] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well, that is long history. What the issue is now is the outated charting and separation of the system within the treaty

[09.11.2022 15:23:34] IC.Willert: Greetings

[09.11.2022 15:23:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Good day 

[09.11.2022 15:23:43] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhm, understandable. Th-... guten tag there.

[09.11.2022 15:23:55] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well if you look at the treaty you will find our issue with it *smiles*

[09.11.2022 15:25:20] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: The treaty states that the system is to be divided into North-South Sectors 

[09.11.2022 15:25:47] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, the specific Hudson entry, ja. There we have it. Chapter three...

[09.11.2022 15:25:50] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Now with the shifts in the system, that leaves Planet Atka and it's 15k Liberty zone deeply in Rheinland territory 

[09.11.2022 15:26:04] Tip: Be careful when picking out the ID for your character. Generic IDs offer much more freedom, but are severely limited in terms of combat as well as the size of ship these characters can pilot.

[09.11.2022 15:26:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: With us technically not being able to legally cross the tradelane to planet that is looking to be terraformed at the cost of 

[09.11.2022 15:26:41] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: our taxpayers

[09.11.2022 15:27:03] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I am assuming you see the awkward legal situation that could arise here. 

[09.11.2022 15:27:22] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: This also leaves the Rheinland's Hamburg Jump Gate in a joint zone, rather than Rheinland's 

[09.11.2022 15:27:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I ... ... ja, indeed. That is ... well. *Blinking a few times.* An unwanted incident and breach of a treaty, should Liberty 

[09.11.2022 15:28:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: intend to near the planet. 

[09.11.2022 15:28:07] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: In other words, the treaty does not correspond with the shifts in the system and should be dealth with

[09.11.2022 15:28:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: So we prevent any incidents. 

[09.11.2022 15:28:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I suppose provisionally you could turn a blind eye to the outdated treaty and allow us access to Atka?

[09.11.2022 15:29:18] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: We all know it simply hasn't been brought up to date with the shifts in the system, I'd hate another conflict to arise

[09.11.2022 15:29:27] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: For what it is worth, i wholeheartedly agree, sir. I ... assume Liberty has raised the matter already? Is it ... pending?

[09.11.2022 15:29:42] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It has not, the government seems preocuppied 

[09.11.2022 15:30:19] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ahm... now. I am a stickler for order, i couldn't simply turn a blind eye. As much as i do understand - it is not my place to 

[09.11.2022 15:30:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: decide about matters that big.

[09.11.2022 15:30:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It ... has not? That ... ... mhhhm. Unfortunate to say the least.

[09.11.2022 15:31:45] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see - well personally The First Armada I represent is busy in Vespucci currently, escapee terrorists and all

[09.11.2022 15:32:04] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Some call them refugees - as if - so we won't have space to deal with the matter.

[09.11.2022 15:32:19] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It would be helpful if you could initiate the amendments with your government perhaps? 

[09.11.2022 15:32:21] ANGEL-09: First Armada? Never heard.

[09.11.2022 15:32:33] Death: DSR-"Cosmos" suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.

[09.11.2022 15:32:47] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That is us good sir - Newfly formed strike force that prefers the vanguard of the Liberty Navy

[09.11.2022 15:33:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I will most certainly forward the issue to the Oberkommando and thus it will reach the Governemnt, it's the least i can do.

[09.11.2022 15:33:15] ANGEL-09: I think you should wash your ears. *She sighs*

[09.11.2022 15:33:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Reckless we have been called, brave and dutyful I prefer! 

[09.11.2022 15:33:59] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Dankeshchone *he stumbles on his tongue trying to emulate Rheinlandish* officer

[09.11.2022 15:34:23] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: All a matter of perspective, as so often. While we are at it, Admiral. Anything particular you wish to add? If not i'll leave 

[09.11.2022 15:34:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: it at.

[09.11.2022 15:34:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - that wasn't half bad. *With a nod.* Danke schoen, indeed.

[09.11.2022 15:35:12] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: We will look into the Rogue matter, I wish the Bounty Hunters would do their job better here :nods head at ANGEL-9:

[09.11.2022 15:35:30] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Thank you for looking into this! The First Armada is grateful

[09.11.2022 15:35:32] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: So long, Rheinlander

[09.11.2022 15:35:44] Death: Hunor was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[09.11.2022 15:35:48] ANGEL-09: Pff..

[09.11.2022 15:35:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Auf Wiedersehen, sir. 

[09.11.2022 15:35:58] Richards.-[Fae: Hello there.

[09.11.2022 15:36:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: What a busy junction this is today... guten Tag, Freelancer.

[09.11.2022 15:36:23] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Oh, a freelancer

[09.11.2022 15:36:27] Richards.-[Fae: How is everyone?

[09.11.2022 15:36:48] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Nothing better than a cordial legal matter consultation *stretches his shoulders*

[09.11.2022 15:36:52] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Surprisingly well - one should be that when a regular patrol turns into potentially much more.

[09.11.2022 15:36:56] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Exactly.

[09.11.2022 15:37:23] ANGEL-09: I thought you were on your way 'first armada'.

[09.11.2022 15:37:30] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I see you have decided to use Hudson today - no gunboat so far.

[09.11.2022 15:37:32] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And no offense Bounty Hunter, it's just that we have found your colleagues lacking here

[09.11.2022 15:37:44] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: But you are present, for that you deserve grattitude.

[09.11.2022 15:38:07] Richards.-[Fae: Indeed. *notices the Valkyrie as the one he has met twice before* Hey, you are the same person that warned me of danger here-

[09.11.2022 15:38:10] ANGEL-09: Because... this system is calm? 

[09.11.2022 15:38:13] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Manitoba should be central to the security of the system, this is what Rheinland and Liberty habe expected 

[09.11.2022 15:38:17] Richards.-[Fae: -in Hudon a few days ago right?

[09.11.2022 15:38:26] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Have rather, for now it is, we have had issues here prior

[09.11.2022 15:38:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That i am, Freelancer. Oberleutnant Traudel Habermeyer, Rheinwehr. Delighted - may i ask a name of yours, while we are it?

[09.11.2022 15:38:44] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And Officer Habermeyer here reports smuggling activity in the system 

[09.11.2022 15:39:08] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That is, unfurtonately, true. A Liberty Rogues gunboat appeared both times i chased a smuggler into Hudson.

[09.11.2022 15:39:10] ANGEL-09: And? 

[09.11.2022 15:39:27] Richards.-[Fae: *nods* Nice to meet you, ma'am. I am Richards. A pleasure.

[09.11.2022 15:39:46] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And Manitoba has it's central location to prevent exactly that *smiles* Maybe we are not compensating the Bounty Hunters enough

[09.11.2022 15:40:20] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Pleasure is all mine, Richards. I take it Hamburg was without notable issues on your way?

[09.11.2022 15:40:43] Changing screen mode=full

[09.11.2022 15:40:47] Changing screen mode=windowed

[09.11.2022 15:40:50] Richards.-[Fae: Indeed it was. No worries, and a very beautiful system.

[09.11.2022 15:41:15] ANGEL-09: It's not that. Perhaps we are lacking of personals. Or maybe they are all busy to take off more dangerous beings than simple 

[09.11.2022 15:41:17] ANGEL-09: rogues.

[09.11.2022 15:41:43] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I still recommend Stuttgart, but Hamburg has its perks - i won't lie.

[09.11.2022 15:42:04] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I understand that, Bounty Hunter - plenty to go around these days with the Insurgents and Xenos all over the place

[09.11.2022 15:42:22] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That's with the damn Corsairs aside plaguing Liberty 

[09.11.2022 15:42:29] Richards.-[Fae: Yes, Stuttgart is also very beautiful. Passed throught it on my way over here from Omega 3

[09.11.2022 15:42:40] Richards.-[Fae: Which is also very beautiful.

[09.11.2022 15:42:52] ANGEL-09: Corsairs in liberty? Funny.

[09.11.2022 15:42:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I was about to ask the very same.

[09.11.2022 15:43:05] ANGEL-09: In any case, I don't really care much.

[09.11.2022 15:43:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Many of them actually - they seem to take advantage of our engagement with the Insurgents

[09.11.2022 15:43:25] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Plenty of money is to be made for you bounty hunter

[09.11.2022 15:43:34] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: The First Armada pays very well for stopping smugglers

[09.11.2022 15:43:37] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: In contrast, i do. Ahhh... an enemy that is busy already, certainly offers windows of opportunity.

[09.11.2022 15:44:04] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Yes, we need to snuff out the damn insurgents as soon as we can so this window closes for the likes of Corsairs.

[09.11.2022 15:44:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Does Rheinland have internal terrorists and insurgents also? 

[09.11.2022 15:44:25] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Red Hessians, was it?

[09.11.2022 15:44:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I believe every House is plagued by parasites... 

[09.11.2022 15:44:42] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: But yes, that is the name.

[09.11.2022 15:44:51] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Are they giving you trouble these days 

[09.11.2022 15:45:02] ANGEL-09: If you are so worried about corsairs being in Liberty, why you are still here?

[09.11.2022 15:45:29] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: A Warship is not best suited in catching smugglers you know. We have our intercepting transports and frigates for that

[09.11.2022 15:45:56] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: On and off, to be honest. Some days they manage to be more than just a nuisance, on other days they are busy fighting other 

[09.11.2022 15:45:59] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And well - bounty hunters are often needed. We are not exactly known for being great at navigating asteroid fields and nebulae

[09.11.2022 15:46:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: criminals while we watch and pick off what remains.

[09.11.2022 15:46:20] Tip: In order to mine ore you must have the right combination of: 1) The ship, 2) The ID, 3) The IFF, 4) Mining Lasers/Turrets. For a full list of all of these combinations as well as which factions get bonuses for what ores - please visit our forums @DiscoveryGC.com

[09.11.2022 15:46:23] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well if they fight each other you can't complain I suppose

[09.11.2022 15:46:24] ANGEL-09: Transports to intercept smugglers? You are so funny.

[09.11.2022 15:46:43] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Why of course! Our Scarabs and Herons do one hell of a job on that

[09.11.2022 15:46:55] Richards.-[Fae: *is nervous* Why is there so much frustration here? Can't we all just chill?

[09.11.2022 15:47:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Nein, certainly can't complain. It does happen from time to time for various reasons. Which is always a welcome sight for me.

[09.11.2022 15:47:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, a friend of harmony, Richards? I for one am perfectly content right now. 

[09.11.2022 15:47:38] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Angel is just looking for a big payout it seems *laughs* When is the offer to help is coming Bounty Hunter? 

[09.11.2022 15:47:45] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I know a salesman when I see one! 

[09.11.2022 15:48:03] ANGEL-09: I don't want your money.

[09.11.2022 15:48:26] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: An altruistic Bounty Hunter that doesn't want money, now that's a first! 

[09.11.2022 15:48:34] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I must tip my hat to you sir! 

[09.11.2022 15:48:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: So you do what you do out of conviction? Perhaps we could find space for you in our ranks! 

[09.11.2022 15:48:59] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Sirius is a place of full of wonder and unexpected turns. 

[09.11.2022 15:49:08] ANGEL-09: No. 

[09.11.2022 15:49:24] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: A man who is not driven by greed of money - seems like it's a waste to be a Bounty Hunter!

[09.11.2022 15:49:26] ANGEL-09: *She rolls her eyes, annoyed by the gathering.*

[09.11.2022 15:49:36] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Or a woman, pardon me! 

[09.11.2022 15:50:14] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: What does drive you if not money then if I may ask?

[09.11.2022 15:50:32] ANGEL-09: You can ask but won't get any answer.

[09.11.2022 15:51:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah well, we all have our reasons, don't we?

[09.11.2022 15:51:09] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: A mysterious woman than plays her card close to her chest! That is intriguing! 

[09.11.2022 15:51:11] Richards.-[Fae: Indeed we do.

[09.11.2022 15:52:05] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well for me it's simple, I am drive by Duty, Honor and Liberty. Simply serving my house and people will do. 

[09.11.2022 15:52:31] ANGEL-09: Yeah, sure.

[09.11.2022 15:52:33] Death: noArgh was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[09.11.2022 15:52:35] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Driven rather. I see my salary as oxygen - a simple necessity needed so I can survive 

[09.11.2022 15:53:06] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: What drives you, Richards - or are you as mysterious as the Bounty Huntress here? *smiles*

[09.11.2022 15:53:22] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: A motivation i can understand and respect. Ah... curious about that answer now.

[09.11.2022 15:53:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Precisely, Angel-09 knows how to peak our interest! It is exciting to understand other people's perspectives and drives to me.

[09.11.2022 15:53:59] Richards.-[Fae: *raises an eyebrow* I am just a humble Freelancer, all I care about is seeing the sights, and living life to the fullest.

[09.11.2022 15:54:34] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It's not about the money for you either? Is it a stygma that we who serve see freelancers as those who seek riches along with 

[09.11.2022 15:54:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: lack of disciplined duty? 

[09.11.2022 15:55:09] Richards.-[Fae: Indeed it is. No two Freelancers are alike.

[09.11.2022 15:55:10] ANGEL-09: Now I peak the interest? That's new. 

[09.11.2022 15:55:33] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Personally i try to view each case separately. Just half a week ago a Freelancer gave me a valuable hint towards a smuggler...

[09.11.2022 15:55:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Two weeks ago? Had a Freelancer smuggle something... so... ja.

[09.11.2022 15:56:02] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: See that is a freelancer I can respect, one that has freedom but helps us who serve

[09.11.2022 15:56:06] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: The second one, well not so much! 

[09.11.2022 15:56:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Likewise, sir. Likewise.

[09.11.2022 15:56:42] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I do like to think of Freelancers as those who are young, and eventually, when they have seen it all, might apply for position 

[09.11.2022 15:56:47] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: of duty such as mine or yours. 

[09.11.2022 15:56:55] Richards.-[Fae: Yes, freelancers can vary wildly. Those two are on opposite sides of the law. Me, well, I do my best to stay on the right-

[09.11.2022 15:57:19] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: There's only so much you can see, and so much money you can make before you start to yearn to belong to something greater. 

[09.11.2022 15:57:23] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That is my theory, anyways.

[09.11.2022 15:57:39] Richards.-[Fae: side of the law. Some do sign up for military service, yes. But I think i will stick to freelancing, if it's all the same to yo

[09.11.2022 15:57:45] Richards.-[Fae: //you.

[09.11.2022 15:58:00] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And you deserve praise for that - this is normal to stay on the good side of the Law. And you never know! 

[09.11.2022 15:58:12] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Perhaps you have not yet satisfied your desires for exploration

[09.11.2022 15:58:33] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Future is as uncertain as it gets. Ahhh... exploration. Something i do fancy, but my place is within Rheinland.

[09.11.2022 15:59:13] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: As is mine in Liberty. I have gone to the Tau regions during the war, and now we have seen the Omicrons. That is plenty enough 

[09.11.2022 15:59:13] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: for me

[09.11.2022 15:59:54] Richards.-[Fae: There seems to be an interesting circle for some people. Some people say they are done exploring, then tie themselfs to one-

[09.11.2022 16:00:00] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Our house is vast and beatiful, and if you want a vacation, there's always Curacao *laughs*

[09.11.2022 16:00:14] Richards.-[Fae: area, then wish they can continue exploring but can't.

[09.11.2022 16:00:48] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I can see that happening, when you start a family for one - are you really going to keep wandering around? 

[09.11.2022 16:00:48] Changing screen mode=full

[09.11.2022 16:01:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: With my current situation? I am afraid vacation is something in the far off future. But still someting to be considered - one 

[09.11.2022 16:01:07] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: day.

[09.11.2022 16:02:05] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Children become a universe of their own for you when you have them. Exploring their development, raising them - they become a 

[09.11.2022 16:02:28] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: whole universe of responsibility and joy for you. One that puts an end to mad yearning for deep exploration in the depths of 

[09.11.2022 16:02:29] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: deep space

[09.11.2022 16:02:49] Richards.-[Fae: I can see that, the whole family thing. But some people do somehow make it work, family and exploring.

[09.11.2022 16:03:26] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well, you'd have to take your children with you, or not see them to months on end. And do you really want them to be wandering 

[09.11.2022 16:03:32] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: nomads with no stable home? 

[09.11.2022 16:03:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Those that do not settle down, for instance. Home becomes a different concept entirely - how well or not well that works out is

[09.11.2022 16:04:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: not for me to judge.

[09.11.2022 16:04:31] Richards.-[Fae: Nomads? Aren't those those blue-purple'ish aliens?

[09.11.2022 16:04:34] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I am a traditionalist you see. I raise my children, and I serve my house to protect our home and other children's homes. 

[09.11.2022 16:04:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I mean those that keep moving to place from place without settling down Richards. 

[09.11.2022 16:05:04] Richards.-[Fae: Oh.....yes those.

[09.11.2022 16:05:38] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That strange bounty hunter has departed! 

[09.11.2022 16:05:54] Richards.-[Fae: She probably got bored.

[09.11.2022 16:05:56] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I am still not quite sure if they were mysterious or simply depressed 

[09.11.2022 16:05:59] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: To value traditions is, once more, something i respect deeply. Some cultures do have exactly that, however. A nomadic lifestyle

[09.11.2022 16:06:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Both equally likely.

[09.11.2022 16:06:34] Tip: Accidentally mounted the wrong ID and ruined your repsheet? Planing on repurposing an old ship for a different faction? You can use the /resetrep command to reset to a blank repsheet. This costs 10 millions per use.

[09.11.2022 16:06:47] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I suppose you are right - where I see my values as duty and stability, others value a nomadic lifestyle, deeply rooted in their

[09.11.2022 16:06:50] Richards.-[Fae: Yeah, I don't think i could tie myself to one place for too long.

[09.11.2022 16:06:51] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: cultures

[09.11.2022 16:07:09] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Zome of those religious Zoners could come to mind...I assume

[09.11.2022 16:07:20] Changing screen mode=windowed

[09.11.2022 16:07:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Those were who sparked my thought, indeed ja. 

[09.11.2022 16:08:04] Changing screen mode=full

[09.11.2022 16:08:26] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Van Leer: Well, all seems clear here. Good luck with your duty - and get a vacation for god's sakes. We all need to stay sharp

[09.11.2022 16:08:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Junkers... ... mhhh. Maybe, but a stretch. They do have their stations, be they irradiated or not.

[09.11.2022 16:08:36] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Time off is what keeps us sharp in line of duty. 

[09.11.2022 16:08:47] Richards.-[Fae: Indeed, Vacations are always welcome.

[09.11.2022 16:08:49] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Who knows what the Junkers do! 

[09.11.2022 16:09:03] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: There are rumors flying around about them...ones we can never quite prove.

[09.11.2022 16:09:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah- ... much appreciated sentiment. I'll see what i can do, sir. It has been my pleasure - i'll make sure to forward that 

[09.11.2022 16:09:31] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: part about the treaty.

[09.11.2022 16:09:46] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Thank you - I leave it in your hands, it will be quite a few weeks before we can put our legal people on that

[09.11.2022 16:09:51] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And to you wanderer, best of luck! 

[09.11.2022 16:09:59] Richards.-[Fae: Thank you sir.

Sender name and rank: Admiral Blake Wayne Van Leer
Location: Texas
Subject: Report from patrols

In Bering along with Liberty's Arrow our patrol has seen a large group of vessels - Auxesian, Rheinlander, Freelancer and...an Insurgent!

We discovered that the Insurgency Warship attempted to flee through Rheinland, Hamburg, but [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer stopped them and ordered the warship to Bering. Right into our arms.

Liberty's Arrow made expert use of the present asteroids, their battle with the Arbiter seemed like a battle of David against Goliath, where the sluggish monster had no chance as our Archer zigged and zagged, using its forward gun to rear it's head from behind the asteroids, giving no opportunity to the slow monster even to see it's attacks.

Code:
[14.11.2022 18:25:47] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps.

[14.11.2022 18:26:00] A/)-Revenant:  ...curious signal.

[14.11.2022 18:26:00] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Suggest you do - and don't return to where i escorted you out from.

[14.11.2022 18:26:19] Bluefin: Yeah nah, I'll hang around Liberty for a while.

[14.11.2022 18:26:30] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: What is ...

[14.11.2022 18:26:43] A/)-Revenant: I suppose it was inevitable that they would be here too.

[14.11.2022 18:26:50] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This is getting out of hand.

[14.11.2022 18:26:55] A/)-Revenant: Why are you here, Bluefin?

[14.11.2022 18:26:56] Richards.-[Fae: There goes the...........*he felt something....something familiar. But he kept it to himself*

[14.11.2022 18:27:07] Bluefin: Just drifting.

[14.11.2022 18:28:12] A/)-Revenant:  ...I would recommend that you do not stick around for too long, at least not right here, right now.

[14.11.2022 18:28:40] Bluefin: You know saying something like that without elaborating is just going to make me want to do it more, right?

[14.11.2022 18:28:52] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Sometimes the interest of self preservation should kick in ...

[14.11.2022 18:29:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Wh-... ... it just vanished?

[14.11.2022 18:29:14] A/)-Revenant: You need not worry about it, Habermayer. For now.

[14.11.2022 18:29:24] Bluefin: Yeah uh. My self-preservation instinct hasn't served me very faithfully.

[14.11.2022 18:29:25] Richards.-[Fae: *comes back to his senses* I.....worry about what?

[14.11.2022 18:29:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Not you say? Mhhhm ... alright then. Consider me slightly on edge.

[14.11.2022 18:29:53] A/)-Revenant: For now.

[14.11.2022 18:30:20] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You... seem to know more than we do?

[14.11.2022 18:30:24] Death: INS-Draugr was put out of action by 1st|Red-39 (Missile/Torpedo).

[14.11.2022 18:30:31] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: ?:Hit!

[14.11.2022 18:30:35] 1st|Red-39: That's that! 

[14.11.2022 18:30:41] 1st|Red-39: nice environmental Usage Arrow CO! 

[14.11.2022 18:30:53] Richards.-[Fae: Apparently. *gets mometarily blinded by the explosion* Well.....

[14.11.2022 18:32:08] 1st|Red-39: Well this is grave news

[14.11.2022 18:32:16] 1st|Red-39: They might be trying to escape through Rheinland

[14.11.2022 18:32:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ja, you heard right. My surprise was the same. First one like that. We'll make sure to have a keen eye on that now.

[14.11.2022 18:32:46] 1st|Red-39: We spoke last time about your ...Hessians

[14.11.2022 18:32:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Me being here is proof that we do not.

[14.11.2022 18:33:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Negative, all is well here. To my surprise ... todays encounters were cooperative. 

[14.11.2022 18:33:47] 1st|Red-39: Duty, Honor, Liberty! That fuels our inner drives, Hoo-rah!

[14.11.2022 18:34:15] 1st|Red-39: Time to debrief sir? 

[14.11.2022 18:34:20] Richards.-[Fae: *raises eyebrow but stays silent*

[14.11.2022 18:34:22] A/)-Revenant: It would be wise of you to not cause transgression on the Rheinland side of the border.

[14.11.2022 18:34:58] 1st|Red-39: We just went to clean up our mess! So long Military! Call us if you need help, and we thank you for not giving asylum to those 

[14.11.2022 18:35:00] 1st|Red-39: deluded Insurgents! 

[14.11.2022 18:35:15] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: But certainly. *With a slow nod.* Auf Wiedersehen, Navy. 

[14.11.2022 18:35:25] Bluefin: They are....way too happy. It's actually disturbing.

[14.11.2022 18:35:30] A/)-Revenant: Pride corrupts.

[14.11.2022 18:35:50] A/)-Revenant: I am curious, where were you originally headed, seeing as you were simply passing by?

[14.11.2022 18:36:17] 1st|Red-39: Auxesian will question me? That'd be the day *laughs*

A cooperative smuggler
Our ONI Scout came across a vessel that had illegal cargo. The pilot was extremely cooperative even despite the distraction of an arriving Unioner attacker. I shall commend and reward this Rheinlander for his cooperation personally.

Subject: Terrorist infestation in Kepler

It would appear Kepler is teaming with terrorists. The Xenos XA-Diadem, XA-Phantom-1, XA-Daring and White.Star along with the Order terrorist "Emissary"|S8 have been all engaged by the First Armada.

The Outcast cruiserMNS-Amalfi is continuing to be an enigma - we have no reports of their hostilities, piracy, or drug dealing, yet have been spotted everywhere - from Kepler to Omicron Nu, Ontario to other systems. They are correct in that they have piqued our interest, I just have to figure this puzzle out one day!

In the end, our bomber took down with him one Xeno before we were overrun, in a very long extended battle.

Subject: BDM in VespucciI

Our frontlines in Vespucci are smoking out the remaining stubborn Insurgents after our victory and Insurgency's mass exodus and they reported a couple of BDM agents arriving and enjoying the show.

The debate was somewhat "heated" initially - our boys were in the middle of an assault and the Rheinlanders weren't very cooperative. Cooler heads prevailed. Our successes and the insurgent fleet that departed through Omicron Nu that ONI extensive information about was even mentioned. They might be a bigger problem for Rheinland than us at this point, let's see if the Rheinlanders ask ONI for the data.

Subject: Not good enough

There was some sort of an asshole convention in town. I took down two of them - one hacker and one freelancer posing as a damn chrysanthemum that started shooting me with those hackers.

I failed, however, as another hacker bested me. Back to the simulator it is, I am requesting additional practice session slots!

Sender name and rank: Crewman Hawk Jones
Location: Omicron Nu
Subject: Strange encounters

After getting my ass kicked in my fighter by hackers repeatedly I was ordered back aboard the Rampant when the Battlecruiser embarked on a patrol of Omicron Nu.
First, we saw a pirate, HRZ~Terpentin who slipped by us, only to have the Order Agent [O]-Mataheus.Licht lead us straight to an Order Capital Vessel we attempted to damage before having to move on with our patrol:

Bizzare out of time LSF Secondary Fleet Agent
Then something strange happened - much akin to the local ancient disabled vessels we encountered an LSF agent lost in time. Commander Levy had a long talk with the man, which we were just shaking our heads at in the lower decks - why do we bother with relics of the past when there are pirates and Order terrorists roaming free in the system?

He must have hit a time warp, as he had no knowledge of Admiral Dylan Brandt and the Insurgency Campaign, what were the orders in said the campaign, and the now void attempt at the court-martial that was clearly just some sort of misunderstanding and power struggle between Brandt's and Kemp-Smith's approaches to warfare our now admiral got caught up in. He seemed completely unaware of the now cordial relations between the First Armada and the 46th Fleet too, even our joint exercises and started nostalgically reminiscing about another relic of the past - the apparently legendary and highly decorated First Fleet.

Personal note
If I may be so bold - this is not why I signed up for the First Armada - bizarre infighting attempts by old-timers, legal babble that just distracts us from the real thing. I want to blast through the stars with unbridled fury, locking onto my targets and obliterating them with surgical precision. I want to be the god of the skies so to speak. And I won't get there by listening to some silly legal arguments - please, if I can be so bold - I would like to request more fighter patrols, I learn by combat, I live for action, and I want to prove I have what it takes to become the best fighter pilot in the First Armada, Oorah!

Subject: Oorah!

Greetings my fellow Armada heroes, this is Crewman Hawk Jones reporting in. I have just returned from a successful mission and I am proud to report that I have taken down three notorious space pirates. It was an intense battle, but with my months of training and expertise in the simulator, I was able to outmaneuver and outgun these pirate scum. I chased them through the Kepler toxic debris field and engaged them in a fierce dogfight, dodging their intense fire and unleashing my own devastating attacks.

But not to just tout my own horn I was stopped in the end, by an Order Cruiser no less! I will get him next time, Oorah!
