Blue Lotus Syndicate recruitment

[Zapp]

A message plays across screens on Outcast, allied, and Junker bases throughout Sirius.

Have you ever felt downtrodden in life? Have you ever felt oppressed by the Houses and their corporate cronies? Have you ever questioned the constant stream of propaganda against the drug of Cardamine, the shutting down of studies showing it's benefits, the demonization of a drug shown to increase lifespan, health and cure many diseases which plague the innocent children of Sirius, stopped at the behest of greedy corporate executives and corrupt government officials?

Feel oppressed no longer. You are the children of traitors and self serving cowards, but the sins of the father need not be visited upon the son. Long ago, our ancestors were betrayed by the vile traitors who would later become the Corsairs and we were left behind, to be condemned by our former House brothers. We are not like the ignoble vultures and carrion-feasters in the Slavers Union, the opportunistic, tactless leeches of London Drugs Inc, or the various degenerate troglodytes peddling pablum like Synthetic Marijuana.

We are the Blue Lotus Syndicate. We are Outcasts, and we are a centuries old, honourable and structured people. We believe in honour, family, friends and the freedom of the people. We were formerly a more tightly structured group, consisting only of those of pure Outcast blood. But now, we extend our hand to you, the commoner, the everyman, the oppressed. From those who would restore the rightful ownership of Dublin, those who would overthrow the corporate vermin of Liberty, those who would crush the vile Ageira corporation, those who would liberate the oppressed of Kusari to those who would eliminate the cancer that is Rheinland from the face of Sirius, we call you.

To our fellow Outcast brothers, we implore you to unite under one banner against the vile Houses through the weapon and liberation of Cardamine. To all, we shall bleed the houses corporate lackeys dry, bring liberation to all House citizens, restore justice to all peoples and deliver the glory of Ambrosia to all.

The House Governments do not want you to hear this. They want you to sit content, content to watch the innocent suffer, injustice be perpetrated and the elite rob society. They don't want you to open your eyes to the demonic machine which has enslaved your consciousness through satisfaction of petty desires and addiction to unwholesome nonsense and babble. They are weak, and they are strong. All of Sirius' downtrodden, unite, unite towards a new world, and a new front for the human species.

Unite against injustice, tyranny, oppression, corruption and weakness. Unite for a stronger Sirius, a stronger human race, a stronger society.

Unite for the Maltan ideal, and spread the blessing of Cardamine to all so that they may see. And rise to liberate on smaller ground with the funds made from such transactions, of course.

Per il glory di Malta!

FROM: Pilot Honestic
TO: Blue Lotus Syndicate Recruiters

Greetings, i?d like to pladge loyalty to the Blue Lotus Syndicate. My application form is attached to this transimission.

My name is Lope Cortez, yet most pilots call me Honestic.
I was borned in Planet New London seventeen years ago (or at least that is what i was told). I learned how to be a trader and an escort while working in my father?s small company. At the age of fifteen while i was traveling in a trader convoy with my father, we were attacked by a wing of Hackers, during the attack, my father was mortally wounded, "fortunately" the LSF arrived and "saved" us, in exchange i was going to enlist in their ranks, but then i discovered the truth.
With his last breath my father told me the location of a datadisk, he said that it was of supreme importance that i opened this disk before joining the LFS. I found the disk hidden in the ship i used to fly. Heres a copy of the most important parts.

... I hope you understand my position, your mom and i thought that it was better for you, not to know who your real parents were, but if you are reading this, then something terrible has happened, and i assume that it is time for you to know ...

... When we were taking those pharmaceuticas in to the Border Worlds we found a ship that had been raided by Corsairs, inside we found a dead man, a woman and we also found a baby, who was still breathing the Cardmine-infused air...

After reading the whole disk i understood every feeling i had. The constant emptyness, the space for something missing in my life, the feeling of unfitness to Bretonia, then i understood that it was not my destiny to join the lawful forces, but to fight for freedom and in the name of my real blood.

After discovering the truth i escaped to the closest free base, which was Buffalo, there i started working for the rogues waiting for the opportunity, after honing my piloting skills, to finally get my own ship and look for my roots in the Omicron Systems.

I feel this is the moment, my Sabre is ready, fully armed and fueled. After sending this transmission im heading to explore the Border Worlds, so you can locate me using a Superluminal Karol Yulini Personal Entry Device, you will find me under the name of honestic.

Im waiting for your response.
Honestic out.

Hello, my name is John. John Ashbert. I was born 23 years ago, though i never found out where, as my parents were killed by an unknown enemy... by now i have figured out it was probably a wing of Corsairs. I was affiliated with myself, only myself, until now. I wish to join you for a few reasons. First, I love smuggling. It is like smoking, i just can't stop. There is such a rush of getting away with things... And my friend, Lope Cortez is in the Blue Lotus Syndicate. Thank you.

FROM: Brian McNeill
TO: Blue Lotus Syndicate Recruiters

Greetings, I would like to be a part of the Blue Lotus Syndicate. My reasons for doing so are in the message below.

My name is Brian McNeill, although my father called me "Circuit", because of my abilities to repair anything that worked with circuits, and I am 20 years of age. I never knew my mother because she died when I was born. So I was raised on my father's cargo ship the "Lucy" that was named after my mother.
You may know my father Daniel McNeill, because he often smuggled Cardamine from Ruiz to several systems. Last week we were held up by the LSF and they started shooting at us without any reason. Systems were failing all over the ship and we were running for the escape pod when an explosion killed my father. I was able to escape and picked up by another cargo ship who dropped me off on Manhattan. It was here that I bought a Starflier with the little credits I had. I am now hoping that I could join you, because of all the work my father did for you, spreading Cardamine to the masses, and I would like to avenge my father by finding the cops who fired at our ship.

If you wish to contact me, you can always find me on my S.K.Y.P.E. account : briambo

With humble greetings,
Circuit.
