Rumor #131945: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Yukon in California) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Richmond Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Radford Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Ottawa in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Minneapolis in Minnesota) We're here to pick up this ship's Toxic Waste for shipment to our Dortmund reprocessing facility in New Berlin. You'd think Liberty would take advantage of all this potentially valuable material, but they were throwing it out in the debris fields of Texas before we started our program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131946: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Yukon in California) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Richmond Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Radford Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Ottawa in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Minneapolis in Minnesota) Running MOX in from Dortmund is pretty risky for us in Liberty. The criminals would love to get their hands on it, especially the Xenos. At least there aren't any of those annoying people in California. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131947: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Yukon in California) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Richmond Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Radford Station in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Ottawa in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alan Zelsman (at Battleship Minneapolis in Minnesota) California doesn't offer us much in the way of useful Scrap Metal or Toxic Waste, outside of this ship. Nothing like the other Liberty systems. Liberty has been very profitable for ALG, which is helpful for our company, as BMM has locked us out of Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133729: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alexa Goppel (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) We purchase our basic supplies and H-Fuel here for the Dortmund Smelter. Berlin needs Basic Alloys for the Consumer Goods factories, which we produce in our Scrap Metal recycling unit in Dortmund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133731: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alexa Goppel (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) ALG has cleaned up this system dramatically since the early Daumann days. They are still operating smelters using centuries-old technology. One visit to Leipzig will show you the harmful effects of Daumann's unregulated emissions of pollutants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133730: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Alexa Goppel (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) Unlike Republican and Daumann ships, ALG ships are not viewed by of Rheinland criminals as a threat. We've tried to take a less antagonistic approach in dealing with our current and former employees in the hope that we can avoid the poor labor relations that have plagued other Rheinland companies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133944: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Bastian Möller (at Alster Shipyard in Hamburg) Republican is completely dependent on ALG products to build their ships. They are competing for the new Rheinland Military contract, but lack the technical expertise to fabricate the custom hull materials and other sophisticated features required by the government. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133943: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Bastian Möller (at Alster Shipyard in Hamburg) We provide Republican with many of their essential shipbuilding materials, such as Ship-Hull Panels, Basic Alloys, and MOX from Dortmund. In return, they sell us their Scrap Metal and Toxic Waste from old ships that are being dismantled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133945: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Bastian Möller (at Alster Shipyard in Hamburg) Republican believes it can solve the Unioner problem by posting bounties and throwing them all in prison. The reality of their situation is far more tenuous. We've heard from reliable sources that many of their current workers are Union sympathizers who are quietly plotting the eventual overthrow of Republican Management. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134048: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) Since we are a corporation the bottom line is the most important thing to consider. Our board was hard pressed when it came time to decide on selling Terraforming Gases to Synth Foods. What they do now will affect the planet for thousands of years, and all they care about is breeding that sickly gray weed from which they mill their disgusting paste. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134047: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) We have contracts with Synth Foods to ship this planet Terraforming Gases. From Dortmund we bring the gases in and try not to think about what they will do to the lovely climate of Stuttgart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134049: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Clemens Ludewig (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) Much of the money that we earn from selling Terraforming Gases to Synth Foods will be secretly funneled to the LWB. ALG's chairman is a large supporter of the displaced farmers of Stuttgart. Her own plantation has been growing blue jillies for centuries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133993: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) Though it requires the danger of flying into the Border Worlds, ALG ships Food to the Helgoland, beyond Rheinland space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133992: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) ALG does a good business in Frankfurt. Terraforming Gases arrive at this base from Dortmund. They expect to receive supplies of Boron from here in return. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133991: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Gita Woche (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) This is a transit point between Dortmund in New Berlin and Yukawa in Honshu. Basic and High-Temperature Alloys plus Ship-Hull Panels pass through this base on their way into Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131348: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) ALG ships Scrap Metal produced here to the Sugarland Smelter in Texas. Every shipyard produces Scrap Metal, which ALG gladly collects for recycling into Basic Alloys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131350: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Toxic Waste and Scrap Metal produced here is shipped to Dortmund in New Berlin. It is the responsibility of ALG to ensure that waste is not strewn throughout Sirius space. Remember, what one throws away another can use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131349: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Holger Mahling (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) ALG ships High-Temperature Alloys and MOX to this facility from Dortmund, New Berlin. On the last run we lost two in our convoy to Xenos and Rogues as we passed through Texas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131301: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) We at ALG are committed to making Sirius space a safe place to fly. Our company processes and disposes of waste in every House in Sirius. Damned the Xenos who attack our ships simply because we are a Rheinland firm. Their harassment is not treated sternly enough by the Liberty Police or the navy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131303: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) The Toxic Waste produced in the engines of this ship is sent to the plant in Dortmund and disposed of properly. The amount of Xenos I have to fight off just to haul Toxic Waste is stupefying. Those bloodthirsty animals will attack anything without a Liberty flag stamped on the outside of its hull. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131302: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Kai Albermann (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) ALG supplies this ship with MOX from the Dortmund plant. Isn't it obvious who makes the cleanest burning ship fuel? Of course it is ALG. If not, wouldn't Liberty purchase MOX from BMM? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133828: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ALG Ship Hull Panels supply the civilian shipyards in Hamburg, Honshu, and New York. Our only competitor is the Stokes Smelter in Leeds. BMM is using outdated production methods which are less cost effective than ours, so we are confident that ALG will soon own all of this market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133822: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) BMM controls the only remaining Uranium-mining area in Sirius. LD-14 still provides the bulk of newly processed MOX fuel for Bretonia. Our enrichment and recycling technologies are far more advanced, however, enabling us to offer a more competitive price within Liberty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133821: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ALG was founded in 88 A.S. to handle the cleanup of Daumann and Kruger mining operations within New Berlin. We were also instrumental in developing the specialized materials and construction methods necessary to adapt to the highly oxidizing environment of Stuttgart. In 460, we were tasked to clean up the Ruhr uranium mining field, that Daumann had exhausted and left abandoned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133820: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ALG reprocesses the Toxic Waste from ships and furnaces throughout the Sirius sector into fresh MOX pellets using special breeder reactors. Rheinland no longer contains enough Toxic Waste source material for our needs, so we have entered into agreements with the Liberty government and Ageira to ensure a reliable supply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133826: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) Scrap is melted into its constituent metals in our furnaces. It's then blended with Beryllium, Cobalt, Copper, or Niobium to create Basic and High-Temperature Alloys. From those basic components we manufacture Ship Hull Panels and Industrial Furnaces for use in shipbuilding and manufacturing plants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133827: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) Anyone interested in MOX for criminal purposes is an enemy of ALG. Our most pressing threat is currently the Xenos, who see us as foreigners to be attacked on sight. The Corsairs and Outcasts have also been troublesome within Sigma-13. ALG would prefer to not ship MOX or Toxic Waste, but Gateway is not interested in such dangerous cargo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133825: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) We have stripped Rheinland of almost all the viable Scrap Metal deposits. Only the pocket around Kreuzberg in the Ruhr Field remains. The Junkers do not seem to be in any hurry to remove their last source of legitimate income within the New Berlin system. A similar situation exists in Sigma-13. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133823: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) Our partnership with ALG and the IMG has proven very fruitful. We now have a shipper and mining company to support our manufacturing prowess. We have taken great care to avoid the acrimonious labor relations that plague Daumann and Republican by treating our workers well, and strictly enforcing safety procedures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133824: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Klaus Schulze (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Celine Voigt (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Moritz Vogler (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Dortmund Bartender/Jörg Meister (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ALG Waste Disposal is proud to be at the forefront of Scrap Metal recycling efforts within the Sirius sector. We are now under contract to clean all of Liberty's Debris fields by 850 AS. We are also engaged in the clean-up of the Yanagi battlefield in Sigma-13, which had created hazards for shipping. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133031: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) Beware of the oxygen pockets in this area. The GMG used them with devastating effects against the Rheinland fleet during the war. There's a big one in the clouds just to the east of our base. Rumor has it there's a Hole to Sigma-17 on the other side of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133032: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) ALG is a very progressive company that treats its workers properly. We don't expose them to excessive danger like Daumann. For this reason, we let the Junkers do most of the difficult work here in the Yanagi Debris Field. It is just too dangerous for our employees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133024: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) We have been contracted by the Rheinland and Kusari governments to remove the debris remaining from the 80-Years War battlefields. Much of if poses hazards to shipping in the area. The GMG has allowed the Helgoland Scrap Metal shredding and sorting facility to be based in the Yanagi Pocket. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133025: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) ALG was reluctant to take this job, but the contract was quite lucrative. It is eerie dismantling all of these tombs of Rheinland sailors. The interiors of the ships look like the day they were destroyed over 130 years ago. There are plenty of bodies still floating about. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133030: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) It's a lonely job out in this station. ALG does not ship across any other Border World areas. I've seen Corsairs and Outcasts in the area. They appear to be headed for the Junker base. The odd Zoner passes through on occasion, headed out to the Edge Worlds. They're harmless. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133027: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) We use this base as a stopover point for Toxic Waste and Scrap Metal ships returning from the Yukawa Shipyard in Honshu. We pick up additional Scrap Metal and Toxic Waste collected by the Junkers in this area, and then we continue on to Dortmund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133026: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) ALG would like to see better relations between Rheinland and Kusari; that's why we agreed to this job. It has also been the most ambitious salvage operation ever undertaken in the Sirius Sector. Many of these ships were just left as is by the GMG, engines still intact. We will have enough material here to supply ALG needs for years to come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133028: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Helgoland Bartender/Gerald Filss (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) We let the Junkers handle the dirty work of removing most of the Scrap and Toxic Waste. They don't seem to be bothered by the often gruesome nature of their daily work. Organic material is brought here for incineration in our furnaces. So far, they've removed about 30% of the debris -- not in much of a hurry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133029: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Lexi Schroeder (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/Rep. Oliver Vogler (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Günther Brandenburg (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) I feel very far from home here. The comforting sight of the Walker Nebula is nowhere to be seen in the blue expanse of the Crow. One can get lost in here quite easily. I've heard there are old Rheinland ships scattered throughout this system that no one has found yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133313: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Ludger Bleibtreu (at Yukawa Shipyard in Honshu) Kishiro does generate some Toxic Waste and Scrap Metal, which we take back to Dortmund via Sigma-13. Usually we pick up additional containers at Helgoland. That's the site of the Yanagi Debris Field cleanup operation, a legacy of the 80-Years War. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133312: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Ludger Bleibtreu (at Yukawa Shipyard in Honshu) ALG has been providing Ship Hull Panels and High-Temperature Alloys to this shipyard for some time. We were delighted to recently win the MOX contract over the BMM/BOWEX team, although I'm surprised how much they go through up here. I never realized that gas miners required so much to operate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133314: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Ludger Bleibtreu (at Yukawa Shipyard in Honshu) Our most difficult system is Sigma-13, although the clouds at the eastern end of Honshu come in a close second. Corsairs mostly. They'll always take a few shots at a MOX shipment, just for grins. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132101: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) The Xenos must be destroyed at all costs -- they make it difficult for non-Liberty corporations to do their jobs here. Perhaps if Liberty does not care about this problem, we will begin letting them take care of their own waste problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132103: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) ALG has had to take some of the profits gained from doing business in this sector to pay Bounty Hunters for protection. There are all manner of criminals in this system, and this last leg of our journey is usually the most dangerous. So a little protection from the Bounty Hunters is always welcome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132102: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Michael Knopp (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) From Dortmund in the heart of Rheinland we bring MOX to this ship so that it can power its magnificent engines. Once we arrive and deliver the MOX we pick up the Toxic Waste produced in the ship's reactors and ship it back to Dortmund to be reprocessed into fresh reactor fuel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132131: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) We are a Rheinland company committed to disposing of all of Sirius' waste. Just think of the future when there will be no more toxic radiation areas in space, no more debris fields for criminals to hide in. All of Sirius will be clean, thanks to ALG. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132132: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) Our transports will pick up Scrap Metal from Norfolk and Baltimore in New York and bring them here to be used in the smelters, which will convert the scrap into alloys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132133: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Peter Brinkop (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) We bring MOX to fuel the giant furnaces aboard this manufacturing platform from Dortmund, then take the Toxic Waste produced here back to Dortmund to be reprocessed into new MOX fuel pellets -- a highly efficient process that is more cost-effective than that used at LD-14 in Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133912: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) Our most lucrative runs for MOX are into Colorado. One must first survive the Xenos in the Independent Worlds, however. The Rogues would also like to get their hands on bomb-making material -- especially the group found in Hudson. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133911: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) The structural integrity of this ship is suspect. It suffered a lot of damage during the Eighty Years War, but was forced to remain in service, since all of its sister ships are now Scrap Metal in the Sigma-13 system. We are always nervous when we have to enter the reactor compartments of this ship. Especially since the recent accident. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133910: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Pia Meuselbach (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) We deliver MOX to the Westfalen every few months or so. Berlin has been having difficulty making their payments lately. ALG would like to improve our relationship with the military, so we often waive the transport and installation fees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131711: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) ALG handles all of the MOX delivery and Toxic Waste disposal for Liberty Navy battleships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131710: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) We get attacked frequently by Xenos on our runs through Colorado, Texas, and the Independent Worlds of Hudson and Bering. They are one of the few criminal factions that attack out Toxic Waste shipments. We are friendly to Liberty, so I don't understand their hostility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131709: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rick Schutz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) ALG ships MOX from the Dortmund facility to the Rio Grande on a periodic basis. Toxic Waste is then transported back to Rheinland for disposal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133760: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rolf Von Wilke (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) ALG is in negotiations with the military to build a new shipyard near Dortmund to produce the next line of Rheinland battleships. Engineers recently demonstrated locally produced Super Alloys that met the stringent requirements set by the Bremen ship design team. Soon Rheinland will be free of importing that particular Commodity from Liberty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133759: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rolf Von Wilke (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) Daumann doesn't like us here, but they have no choice. We provide the shipyard with MOX, and haul away its Toxic Waste and Scrap Metal for reprocessing at our Dortmund furnaces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133761: * [ALG Waste Disposal] ALG Waste Disposal/ Rolf Von Wilke (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) Our original mining areas in New Berlin have been exhausted for 300 years, and Bretonia has supplied all of Rheinland with its Basic Alloys and Ship Hull Panels ever since.

We get attacked almost every time in the Silverton Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131674: * [Ageira Technologies] Ageira Technologies/Dr. Blake Caldwell (at Planet Denver in Colorado) Denver is the site of our USI scanner hardware R&D division. A while back a bunch of high-level employees got forced out after a big screw-up. They drifted up into Galileo and set up base, calling themselves Lane Hackers.

Thousands of dedicated Ageira employees were lost in one dreadful moment. To this day the Texas system remains mostly off-limits due to the radiation and debris hazards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131731: * [Ageira Technologies] Ageira Technologies/Dr. David Harris (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Ageira Technologies] Ageira Technologies/Asst.

I'm glad my escorts were sharp, or BMM woulda been sending my teeth home to the family. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132342: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Dick Merriman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) If you don't mind flying past weapon platforms, military patrols, and Mollys, you might be just the person to take supplies to LD-14. It scares the hell out of me going to that base. There's enough radiation in there to cook an egg, and I'll tell you I don't want my eggs cooked! If you aren't afraid, you could bring lots of Pharmaceuticals to LD-14, 'cause they run through them pretty fast there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132343: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Dick Merriman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) BMM makes sure that the Stokes base gets all it needs to keep running smoothly. Everything's in this system, so that's nice for me. You don't look like you care, but I've got a lot of family in Stokes -- maybe too much family. We send our own Leeds-produced Mining Machinery up to Stokes and usually haul Basic Alloys on the return trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132463: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Franklin Beeching (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I like visiting this place. Normally I look out my office window in Leeds and can't see anything green through all of the sulfurous clouds. My company's executive office wants to exploit Gaia much as they did with Leeds, with little or no government foresight. I'm not sure that's such a good idea at this point, given our track record. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132464: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Franklin Beeching (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I'm going on an unofficial hunting expedition tomorrow. I met a Bounty Hunter who says he can find me a blue ground sloth. That would be an interesting addition to the collection of heads in my study. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132465: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Franklin Beeching (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I've seen company documents that described negligible amounts of Cobalt on Gaia. It was a ploy for the government to let us in and begin full-scale strip mining of Aluminum and Titanium, the Basic Alloy metals that we have almost exhausted in Stokes. So, the Gaians and Cambridge researchers were not unfounded in their accusations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132628: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) Sir Edmund Graves used to run this station. He was known as a tyrant who didn't mind risking his miners' lives to boost Gold shipments to New London. Until the Founders Day Revolt, that was fine with BMM, GS&M's parent corporation. That was the day that the Mollys were officially formed. It was also the day that old man Graves got his head taken off, courtesy of the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132630: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) The Bretonian military supports this station to the best of its ability, but the Mollys are fighting very effectively. The military escorts for Gold shipments leaving this station are not enough. The Mollys will attack several locations simultaneously in small groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132631: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) I fly one of the Gold transports from this base into New London. It is dangerous as hell to do what I do, even with the military escorts. Mollys are always attacking our shipments, and if it isn't the Mollys, it's the Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132632: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Grave's Bartender/Abraham Botteler (at Graves Station in Dublin) This base gets all of its basic supplies and Mining Machinery from Thames in New London. It's not as dangerous of a run as the Gold run into New London, but it is still pretty bad. The Mollys will attack us to disrupt operations at our base. If you want to make the run, you might attract less attention. Then again, maybe not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132633: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Grave's Bartender/Abraham Botteler (at Graves Station in Dublin) With the military's help BMM controls the most lucrative Gold field in the system. It still isn't safe. The Mollys have no fear and fight as viciously as anyone possibly can, maybe with the exception of the Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132629: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) Sir Edmund's daughter runs this station now, and she does so pretty well. Most everybody thinks she's as mean as her old man, but she's smarter than he was. She realizes it is his fault that the Mollys exist, so she gives the miners just enough to keep them from quitting or joining the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132636: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Jackson Newth (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Quentin Travers (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Zachary Wynne (at Graves Station in Dublin) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Grave's Bartender/Abraham Botteler (at Graves Station in Dublin) The Molly guerilla warfare tactics are too tenacious for the military. Though they haven't had any significant victories, the Mollys are still here and make themselves quite the thorn in BMM's side. They are financed by the Gold they mine from their own asteroid field, which is surrounded by a very dangerous minefield. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132683: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) If you are a BMM grunt, then this is the place to be. Don't get me wrong. The workers here spend long hours on unsavory tasks, but at least here there isn't a short life expectancy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132687: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) I'm glad I'm not stationed in Leeds anymore. My family has suffered enough from the five years I worked there. It is the filthiest system in all of Bretonia, in all of Sirius. It is also incredibly dangerous. I still fly shipments there, so I get to see the danger first-hand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132684: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) The Bounty Hunters here are filthy chaps who curse and drink too much, but it makes us pilots feel a bit safer to know that they are nearby. More than once my ship's hull has been close to imploding from pirate attacks, when one of these boys swooped in to help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132688: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Mollys attack this base quite frequently. They hate all BMM employees and try to destroy every base or ship that has the name BMM painted into it. A shame Sir Edmund had to treat his workers so deplorably that they would revolt and become the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132681: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Hydrocarbons and Polymers are the two Commodities that I ship to Stokes from this facility. I'll tell you, I do not enjoy going into Leeds. That place is a cesspool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132686: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) It makes me nervous working and living in the same system as the most infamous prison in Bretonia. I know that it's supposed to be impossible to escape from Newgate, but the idea of all those murderers right here in this system just gives me the chills. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132682: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) The Outcasts must be rich from the Cardamine trade. I don't understand why they would risk their lives attacking convoys of basic supplies and other low-priced Commodities. They either hate everyone, or they just enjoy fighting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132680: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) There are three Commodities consumed at this base that we do not produce ourselves: Mining Machinery, H-Fuel, and Food. We ship here from Thames. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132685: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Joe Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Louis McCullogh (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Stuart Mickelson (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Birmingham Bartender/Giles Chapman (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) The nearby ice asteroid field is the source for most of this plant's raw materials. Sometimes huge chunks of ice from the fields drift into the Trade Lanes. If a ship moving at Lane speed plows through a sizeable enough piece of ice... well, you can imagine what happens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133592: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) Some of the Zoners at this base are always lookin at me side ways, acting like I'm the almighty hand of BMM itself. Ah, stupid base snipes is all they are. Next one I see looking at me funny is gonna get some teeth popped outta his head. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133593: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) This system is gonna be Bretonian space one day, you wait and see. The Ole Doug was plopped down by BMM on queen's orders to keep an eye on them cretinous Rheinlanders. They won't have much to do around here once Sprague is all fixed up and we're living on her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133591: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Richard Thomas (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) I make the shipping run to this base from the BMM Douglas. When I come here, I bring Hydrocarbons and Polymers. When I leave, I take all the basic supplies that keep the Ole Doug running. You'd be surprised how often I get jumped by Corsairs. Aye, they're mean ones. Glad I don't have to tangle with them Hessians too. That would be too much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132433: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) BMM ships the majority of its basic supplies from Leeds to this base. Let me tell you, it is a relief to see those weapon platforms encircling this base when I'm bringing in a load of supplies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132437: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) The Mollys have been trying to get at this base for as long as I can remember. That's why we have the military here. The Mollys are either trying to steal Toxic Waste or MOX to make weapons of mass destruction, or they are trying to blow this place up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132434: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) I'm waiting here to meet the BMM replacement pilot who will be taking the place of John Gibbs, the chap who used to make the run from Southampton with Toxic Waste. He got jumped by a couple of Mollys. They say the first shot that went through his shields hit a Toxic Waste container. No more John Gibbs, unless you count the tiny little chunks floating in space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132435: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) Stokes Smelter, just down the Trade Lane, provides most of our raw materials here, beyond the Uranium itself. They do the run every week, slipping in a Toxic Waste shipment on occasion to keep the Mollys guessing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132438: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) BMM will chew you up and spit you out. The company has no regard for worker safety since it cuts down on the profits. Most of the employees who work this station aren't ever the same again afterwards -- all kinds of health problems, but that doesn't stop BMM from pumping out the MOX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132439: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) The weapon platforms they installed in this area have gone a long way to curbing attacks on the base, even though our miners still get perforated in the fields by the occasional Molly attack. Hey, that's why they take the danger pay. You just hope you're not the one who takes a ship-to-ship missile in the chest -- ain't much left of you when that happens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132440: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) My father worked on this base trying to get enough money together to get our family out of this system. We received a letter of grievance signed with a rubber stamp when an explosion occurred in the refinery unit where he worked. There were no survivors. The bodies were so irradiated that they had to be sealed in special containers for the funerals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132441: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) One of my mates has been losing his hair, and not bit by bit either, if you catch my drift. He's been on this base longer than anyone else, but I think it's time he took his pay and pulled stakes. The greed is going to kill him if he lets it. I guess that goes for anybody, really. You have to know when its time to leave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132436: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner Anthoney Tutin (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Keith Cornelius (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Ian Burnett (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/LD-14 Bartender/Robin Chilton (at LD-14 in Leeds) You know what the workers at this base call it? Heh, they call it "short time." It's a fitting name. The employees who work here make three times their normal salary, but their exposure to radiation ages them untold years. So, if you walk too long a stretch here you won't be alive very long. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132011: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner John Thomas (at Planet New London in New London) New London serves as our supply base for the Thames Outpost - high in orbit above us. We purchase Food, H-Fuel, Oxygen, and Water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132012: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner John Thomas (at Planet New London in New London) The Gold mined at our GS&M base in Dublin is brought here for shipment to the House capitols. It is closely guarded until it is within the hands of the shipper who will transport it. Dublin is not far, but Molly attacks are frequent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132013: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner John Thomas (at Planet New London in New London) BMM views the Mollys as vicious hooligans with no morals whatsoever. We abhor their approach of extreme violence over sensible moderation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132288: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) IMG is a motley collection of unemployed New London miners, former BMM malcontents, and hordes of Daumann and Kruger Rheinlanders. They have no business operating as a legal entity within the boundaries of Bretonia. There is little we can do in the Border Worlds, unfortunately. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132287: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) The Gaians have recently begun raiding the Stokes and Birmingham plants, apparently because they believe we are guilty of producing gases subsequently used in terraforming operations. In my opinion, this guilt by association is not constructive and further alienates their cause from the common man in Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132286: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) We use the outpost as a distribution point for Leeds-produced Mining Machinery, which is then shipped out to our bases in Omega-3, Manchester, and Dublin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132289: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) BMM has operations throughout Bretonia and the adjoining Border Worlds. We run the Stokes Smelter and LD-14 MOX processing plants in Leeds, the Birmingham Polymer production plant in Manchester, and mineral extraction facilities in Dublin, Omega-3, and Tau-23. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132291: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) BMM and Bowex have had a long and profitable relationship stretching back over 500 years. You should never listen to what Gateway, IMG, or ALG tell you. They are young, poorly run organizations that will not be there for you in the long haul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132284: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) The Mollys have been a challenge for BMM ever since the revolt on the Graves Station in 752, in which they mercilessly executed the chief of base operations, Sir Edmund Graves, and several of his senior lieutenants. They fantasized of Dublin being their own country. We asked for assistance from the Bretonia Armed Forces at the time and have been engaged in a war of attrition ever since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132285: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) The Tau-23 foray was a mistake. We have expended most of our company's financial reserves, all to satisfy the egos of senior management. Those guys refused to recognize the true costs of opening up new systems in outer Border Worlds where the criminal element has the upper hand. We could've just bought our Niobium from the IMG, and been done with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132283: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) Thames is company headquarters for all of our operations across Sirius. Supply runs from New London bring in Food, Oxygen, Water, and H-Fuel. We then transfer them for special shipment to the Graves Survey & Mining base in Dublin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132290: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Dudley (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Donald Byrne (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Henry Jones (at Thames Outpost in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Thames Bartender/Douggie Latham (at Thames Outpost in New London) The LD-14 has begun reprocessing Toxic Waste in an effort by BMM to show the Bretonian people that we are committed to operating in a more environmentally sensitive fashion in the Leeds system than in the past. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132193: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Company says Mollys cost us a lot of jobs last year. That's why they had to lay off so many. Me, I think it's 'cause Kusari is making transports cheaper and faster than old, stodgy BMM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132197: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Those Junkers are bad for this area. Ever since they showed up we've been getting Outcasts. Now the Corsairs are starting to arrive. They should go in and clean them out. Seems like they can never catch them red-handed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132192: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) We get many of our raw materials from the Stokes Smelter in Leeds. The inbound run usually consists of Basic Alloys, Super Alloys, or Ship Hull Panels. Then we fill up with Scrap Metal and Toxic Waste to haul up to the cesspool that they call the Leeds system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132198: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I've got my family back in Leeds. They've got all sorts of health problems. Company says it's 'cause we haven't been taking care of our kids properly. I dunno, seems like that nasty, thick brown air and smelly water may have something to do with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132195: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Those Gaians are a bunch of upper-class Cambridge snobs that don't have their heads screwed on straight. I would welcome a new planet to live on. It's got to be better than the catastrophe they call Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132196: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) The Mollys are always sittin' out in the Southampton or Cumbria Fields waiting for some poor BMM bloke to come along, just minding his own business. A nasty lot, they are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132200: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I'm a third-generation Yardie here on Southampton. We've built all of Bretonia's great ships ever since anyone can remember. My ancestors have worked here for hundreds of years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132194: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I run the basic supply train up from New London every few days -- mostly Food, Oxygen, and Water. Not much to it, unless the Mollys show up. You just hop on the Trade Lane and there you are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132199: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) New London used to be the mining center of Bretonia. Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and Cumbria were all famous in their day. Those fields employed hundreds of thousands of the Bretonian working class. Now they import everything from the Border Worlds. Everyone's had to migrate out there in search of the work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132201: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Miner William Roberts (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ John Davies (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/ Hugh Bromly (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [BMM] Southampton Bartender/Alexander Hunt (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) The Junkers are a slimy set. They like to come and steal from our storage depots when no one is looking. We had to arm them, we did. To think that the Junkers used to be proper Yardies -- what a shame. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134304: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

Jonathan Dunbar (at Tau-31 Gate Construction Site in Tau-23) The Edward Marshall was bringing a load of Niobium back to base from the mining area when the ship was approached by an Outcast patrol. They surrendered and were boarded by the pirates, who mercilessly jettisoned the crew into space. A BMM patrol was scrambled from the Tau-31 Gate and managed to destroy the ship in the minefield before it reached Cali. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132832: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

We do not want to be dependent on the IMG any longer. Unfortunately, if we do not find a new source of Niobium, we will soon need to buy that from them, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132833: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

Here we are trying to save Bretonian industry, and those damned independents are sucking up the Niobium for their own benefit. What's worse is that we take the brunt of the Outcast attacks in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132834: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

The Bounty Hunters who do come into the system loiter near the Tau-29 Jump Hole, but that strategy does us no good against the Outcasts attacking this base and the Trade Lanes! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132836: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

We believe that the Tau-29 Hole lies just to the east of the Beryllium fields. Look to the northeast for the Kyushu Hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132831: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

The Outcasts just love shooting the Rings to bits, even though they never manage to destroy them. Those DSE chaps sure do earn a lot of money. Of course I earn danger pay for being stationed in the Border Worlds, but I'm just a miner, so I'm only going to earn so much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132835: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

DSE is still working on the Trade Lane that runs to the Beryllium fields, so in the mean time we are most vulnerable to the Outcasts aboard the miner. It's pretty safe once you get to the mining area; the trip is the dangerous part. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132830: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

It's not like in civilized space where you can drop your cargo and run. Out here the Outcasts will chase you down and kill you after you've dropped cargo. It's like a sport for them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132828: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

When we found this system it was the answer that BMM had been looking for. Of course it has been quite a struggle against the Outcasts, and the IMG sucking up the Niobium does not help either. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132829: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Rep.

Those crafty bastards were biding their time until the Gate was completed, and then they attacked in force. They were just waiting until we had committed ourselves to this area so they could pirate our shipping. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133627: * [BMM] Bretonia Mining and Metals/Sales Rep.

The Hessians are more concerned with killing Daumann boys than us, though they will attack our shipments in the Trade Lanes on occasion. Sometimes we'll even get attacked while we're mining.

First, they'll get shipped to the Zoner base here, and then off to New London to be used for our proud old battleships and patrol crafts.

The Blood Dragons were thus born, a group dedicated to cleansing the cancer of Samura from Kusari once and for all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133437: * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) The GMG has trained us in many nebula fighting tactics that they learned during the 80-Years War. This is why we can fly circles around the Kusari Naval Forces in Hokkaido. Nansei is a different story.

We hope to find a new master that can break the curse of Kusari corruption and stagnation and once again bring our nation to glory. There is a young bureaucrat, fresh out of New Tokyo University, who speaks of change. The Commerce ministry can dismiss him for now as a naive youngster, but maybe he will be the one who can lead Kusari to the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133432: * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/Kyoto Bartender/Umakai Marusa (at Kyoto Base in Chugoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/Kyoto Bartender/Umakai Marusa (at Ryuku Base in Tohoku) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/Kyoto Bartender/Umakai Marusa (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tadashi Hashimoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Tomoko Yamaguchi (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Yuji Matsumoto (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Reiko Abe (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/Kyoto Bartender/Umakai Marusa (at Mito Shipyards in Tau-63) Samura's plan was to open Hokkaido to gas mining in order to compete with the GMG, a partner whom they have exploited for centuries. I assure you that Hokkaido will not be a good place for Samura to do business for many years to come.

I hope you brought supplies with you. We always need Food and Pharmaceuticals. Side Arms are also prized. An unarmed warrior does not garner much respect in this bar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475515: * [Blood Dragons] Cho/Chang (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .Have you heard of Hisako Takahashi? She is over a hundred and seventy years old. Surely an amazing age to live up to, isn't it? We believe it to be a result of DNA mutations caused by Cardamine. Regular doses must have changed her genetic structure somehow and extended her lifespan. Don't get too enthusiastic just yet, though. The mutations seem to be erratic and probably do cause unknown side effects. It is possible that Hisako has been incredibly lucky, but unfortunately more research needs to be done before we can conclusively prove anything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475526: * [Blood Dragons] Hiro/Kaneda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) The Blood Dragon researchers on Sendai are now are only a little more experienced than the scientists onboard the Kawada Research Complex. That's why we used to need their help, but now Golden Chrysanthemums are able to run the place on their own. Together, with our Blood Dragon friends, we make a fine team in solving mysteries of the galaxy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475496: * [Blood Dragons] Hiro/Kaneda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .In many ways Chanai is a much more relaxed station than Takada Shipyard or Morioka base, regardless of the luxury of vacationing planetside on Kitahara. The nebula clouds of Chugoku often become quite claustrophobic and Chanai offers all a broken spirit needs. There are many recreational centres along with various resorts and tranquil gardens within the biodomes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475495: * [Blood Dragons] Hiro/Kaneda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I used to live on Planet Kitahara before the Cardamine experiments were started there, and after that I moved to Chanai. I can't stand that drug. While the Golden Chrysanthemums embrace it, the Blood Dragons have refused to touch it. How can the Golden Chrysanthemums not see that Cardamine is ruining our society? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475517: * [Blood Dragons] Kaori/Endo (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .Many of the Golden Chrysanthemums see it as some kind of reward for working with me, and I suppose I symbolise something to them as they cannot easily become engineers themselves since most of them have never received any formal training in Kusari colleges and universities. Most of them that I work with here have shown a natural talent for engineering and can pick up multiple concepts quite quickly. I can see it's only a matter of time before we start seeing plenty of Golden Chrysanthemums engineers working out of our stations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475516: * [Blood Dragons] Kaori/Endo (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .Ekitei represents a great scientific opportunity for us. Perhaps we would have never even been appointed here if not for the privilege of studying pulsar radiation. Training a self-sufficient research station wasn't our primary concern, although don't think I didn't enjoy it. Many of these Golden Chrysanthemum women are very enthusiastic and highly intelligent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475493: * [Blood Dragons] Kyoko/Fukada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .The Blood Dragons are not the only ones to come to Chanai for a rest. In fact, Chanai is a popular recreational centre amongst all of the Tau systems. I think I even saw a Synth Foods employee walk into the bar earlier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475494: * [Blood Dragons] Kyoko/Fukada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .We, the Blood Dragons, take our duties seriously. Every man, woman and a child regardless of age knows how to handle a blaster and has at least basic piloting skills. Remaining sharp at all times is difficult and occasional rest is crucial. That is why I'm here. I will be back to the forbidden city with my senses ready and mind sharp. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475525: * [Blood Dragons] Kyoko/Fukada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) I joined the Golden Chrysanthemums in ignominy after coming second place in the Miss New Tokyo pageant in 806 A.S. The all-male judges were so furious after they found traces of Cardamine in my quarters, that I was lucky I wasn't disqualified or arrested. I bet that Hiro Mamiya put the drug in there; it would be just like her. She didn't deserve to win! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462096: * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .Noriko Sato, a fighter ace of the Chrysanthemums, frequently docks here. She's a credit to her sisters; there's many a Dragon that could learn something from her. The Naval Forces have placed a sizeable bounty on her head - well-merited - but she's escaped or destroyed all pursuers to date. I doubt she'll ever be caught; she's far too agile and alert. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462094: * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .Samura's not present in person in Okinawa, but their pathetic lackeys, the Hogosha, have a base here - somewhere in the Hasuda asteroid field - and constantly attempt to find Sendai in a misguided bid to displace us from the system. The Hogosha are amateurs, their vessels weak, their pilots inferior. Perhaps they can kill the occasional Chrysanthemum, though even there, they're outmatched, but never a Dragon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475519: * [Blood Dragons] Minako/Okada (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .Our work is mostly done here, but we have been granted a unique opportunity to study the Ekitei X-ray pulsar in the system, therefore very few of our scientists actually left. Ekitei presents a lot of untapped potential. The power behind its untamed fury may be the key to solving power crises throughout Kusari, and give us a bargaining chip with which to force political concessions from the government. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475518: * [Blood Dragons] Minako/Okada (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .I am proud of the Golden Chrysanthemum scientists on Kawada. They were completely green when we first arrived. Although they were well disciplined and well taught, they had little expertise on how the practical side of things work. The girls have made an astonishing progress so far, and that's what you can do with a small group of progressive students when you give them a solid grounding in scientific processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462089: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko Sato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .It is well-known that there were once Order here at Sendai; Order scientists were crucial to the efforts of the Blood Dragons in not only monitoring the actions of the late Governor Tekagi, but also in unravelling the gruesome secret behind his vile actions. No Order researchers remain aboard Sendai these days, however, and they won't be returning, they've allied themselves with our foes, the Corsairs, in the Edge Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462093: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko Sato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .Bounty Hunters - the scourge of Sirius has begun to encroach upon Kusari. It sickens me to think of how these lice-ridden dogs penetrate all that was once tranquil and peaceful - even now, they taint Okinawa, and are so audacious as to be sighted here in Kofu from time to time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462091: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .We've had an alien biology division aboard Sendai for over half a century. Though the Blood Dragons own and operate this base, we have a surprisingly large contingent of Chrysanthemums here; many were educated and trained as brilliant scientists and the work in xenobiology and xenoarchaeology we offer is the only alternative to a life of crime due to the corrupt, Samura-backed government. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462090: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .A Libertonian Bounty Hunter, Luke Grafton, was shot down and subsequently taken prisoner towards Kofu's western edge yesterday morning. I saw Grafton when he was brought in; I'd expected a crude, loud-mouthed boor, but encountered an honourable foe, courteous in defeat. As far as I know, he's being treated for his various injuries; his ship was swallowed by the dust cloud, and may yet retain some of its equipment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462095: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .An over-eager Hogosha pathfinder entered the Kofu cloud several weeks ago, striking out on his own to look for this base. It appears that luck is with the foolish, as the pilot penetrated to Sendai's very perimeter. At that point, however, his good fortune left him, as he was lamed by a shot from our automatic defences and then hunted down by a fighter wing. We decided to leave the wreck in place, as a warning to others; it lies to the southeast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462097: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .While the Dragons fight for freedom and independence, the keiretsu grow fat off the back-breaking labor of innocent citizens; the government's steeped in bribes and does nothing. The sacred duty of liberation therefore falls to us; we shall cleanse Kusari of the stain of dishonour that harks back to the Hideyoshi shogunate, when the Empire's rightful leader was betrayed and executed by Samura henchmen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462072: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .There has been troubling news out of Tohoku lately. Nomad activity is increasing, and we have reason to believe that Tekagi's Arch is inhabited once more. Our forward base at Ryuku has been reactivated and patrols sent out. Perhaps we will be able to stop the problem before it becomes too severe this time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462098: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .Okinawa was colonized in 692 A.S., four years after the initial Blood Dragon scouts penetrated via the Honshu jumphole that the Matsuda guards today. Even then, this system wasn't entirely safe; the Mintaka field was as explosive then as it is today, and several of our scouts were lost where scanners did not function properly. Naturally, any salvagers would have encountered the same dangers - it's conceivable that wrecks over a century old yet drift in the mire. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462087: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Miagi San/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .We captured a bounty hunter called Luke Grafton out in the Kofu Cloud recently. He was in bad shape when we brought him in, with multiple internal injuries and several broken bones, but he survived. I was always lead to believe that all bounty hunters were ex-criminal gaijin who were only in it for profit, but Grafton seems to be a well-educated idealist who joined to fight crime and injustice. If all humans believed in freedom and justice like he does, we wouldn't be having to fight them in the first place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462099: * [Blood Dragons] Sendai Bartender/Shinji Godo/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Akemi Shimuzu/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Hanako Takei/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .That gaijin bounty hunter Luke Grafton really earned his nickname! When we engaged his lone vessel, we outnumbered him by eleven to one. He took out four of us before we finally crippled his vessel. The unusual thing is, most bounty hunters that we encounter tend to fire on our escape pods rather than risk us being rescued by our own, but Grafton let them be. It seems that not all bounty hunters are honourless scum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475452: * [Blood Dragons] Tian/Xin (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Joint projects like this should keep us all on good terms, proving that we're all able to work together. The Outcasts have mixed feelings however over the Cardamine production on Kitahara. We have no say in this, although our opinion on Cardamine is clear. However I am not so sure we will sit easy knowing there is a planet so nearby that is producing Cardamine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475448: * [Blood Dragons] Tian/Xin (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I'm one of the Blood Dragons who supervises the workers here on Takada Shipyard. There is some honour in this work as we support our allies in our mutual struggle, but I'm still young and I could fight for the Hideyoshi. However, somebody must forge weapons so that other warriors can carry them into the heart of combat if the situation arises. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475451: * [Blood Dragons] Tian/Xin (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .There are Outcasts here from time to time, most notably Lena Perabo over there. She is always flying transports here and is a very excitable and personable girl, although the Outcasts always make me uneasy. It's those damn mask breathers they always have to wear. Sometimes I wonder if they're really human. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475449: * [Blood Dragons] Tian/Xin (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .The Blood Dragons have a strict code of honour. A man who loses his honour must then also lose his head. We do not need drugs to define a true samurai from an imposter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475450: * [Blood Dragons] Tian/Xin (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I do not agree with the use of Cardamine amongst the Golden Chrysanthemums, although I sympathise with their plight because I too have been oppressed. The Blood Dragon men are not as bad as those who run Kusari, but we still have less equality, as evidenced by the fact that I oversee dock workers in this shipyard, rather than fighting for the Hideyoshi clan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475455: * [Blood Dragons] Toshi/Yamada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I am a supervisor here at Takada. Monitoring the various industrial processes is my particular line of work, though. The conditions here are rather satisfying and the time is well spent, but there is one more reason why I'm here. It's Kitahara. I've been born and spent all my life on Kyoto base and I have never stepped on solid ground, until I came here. Kitahara looks breath taking from the orbit, and more so from the surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475454: * [Blood Dragons] Toshi/Yamada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Do not be mistaken. There was an alliance treaty signed between the Blood Dragons and the Golden Chrysanthemums, but the Kusari media often likes to portray us badly. Sometimes the Chrysanthemums can give us a bad image through their Cardamine usage, but there are strong ties that connect our two groups and we would never cause dishonour by abandoning or ignoring our allies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475453: * [Blood Dragons] Toshi/Yamada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Takada was built according to construction blueprints that the Blood Dragons stole from Yokohama Shipyard. Our enemy's designs will be used in the struggle against them now. There's a certain irony in that, don't you think? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462088: * [Blood Dragons] Yuichi Hyata/Blood Dragons (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .I miss my wife. She is back on Kyoto base, working in maintenance on Blood Dragon fighters. I spend six month shifts out here onboard Sendai and while I enjoy my work, I wish she could be here with me. She comes to visit once every few months , but the journey through Kusari is dangerous. I wouldn't know what I would do if she were killed or sent to Fuchu prison. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131357: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Adrian Knox (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Adrian Knox (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Bowex ships Gold here from the GS&M depot in Dublin.

All hands were lost, but that is the cost of shipping valuable Commodities like Gold. That is what Bowex is known for -- um, the shipping valuable Commodities part, not the dead-employee part. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134104: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Allen Thomas (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Border World Exports, or Bowex as we are more commonly known, brings the Diamonds gathered here in Rheinland to our solicitors in New London.

It's good cash if you don't get your ship blown inside-out by Hessians or Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134103: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Allen Thomas (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) From New London, Bowex brings Gold to this distribution depot in Rheinland space. It's good cash if you don't get your ship blown inside-out by Hessians or Corsairs.

What's good for Bowex is good for Bretonia, I say. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132239: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Andrew Maloney (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Andrew Maloney (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) They're installing the new MOX fuel rods for the fusion reactor right now. We'll fill up on some nasty Toxic Waste and head back to LD-14 for reprocessing. And watch out for Mollys. They're probably watching us right now from the Cumbria Field, waiting for me to leave the safety of the ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132719: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) If you'd like to fly into Bretonia, I'm sure you could make money hauling Fertilizers and Alien Organisms from this base to Glasgow. I make that run myself for Bowex and it is pretty lucrative, even though I'm a company man. Of course you have to fight all kinds of criminals to get there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132717: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Arnold Winkle (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) Bowex ships Mining and Construction Machinery to this base from Leeds.

They'll purchase the Boron there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133089: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Bowex transports basic supplies from here to the other bases in this system. A lot of the Commodities that come through here are either on their way to Liberty or New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133090: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Side Arms and H-Fuel are shipped throughout this system from this base. Even though these shipments are staying in the system, the haul is still dangerous. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133092: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Want to travel to California and make lots of cash while you're at it? Buy Polymers and Hydrocarbons here, ship them to Los Angeles, and then come back with Optical Chips. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133091: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) From New London Bowex hauls H-Fuel and Pharmaceuticals to meet the large demand at this base. It's a decent run if you don't mind when Mollys and Lane Hackers blast holes in your ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133093: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bernard Parsons (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Bowex ships the Optical Chips at this base to Cambridge and Leeds. Either facility will purchase them, so you can take your pick. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131745: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Riverside Station in California) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Hamilton Station in Ontario) Bowex feels that Bretonian Super Alloys are superior to those produced here, so we don't feel the need to import any. House Kusari and Rheinland unfortunately do not agree with our assessment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131743: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Riverside Station in California) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Hamilton Station in Ontario) We bring in Polymers and Hydrocarbons from Manchester, site of our Birmingham manufactory, via Newark. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131744: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Riverside Station in California) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Bryce Streymoore (at Hamilton Station in Ontario) This is the sole location where Superconductors are produced in the Sirius Sector. None of the other Houses could stay competitive with Liberty. We ship them to Los Angeles, and eventually Southampton Shipyard in the New London system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132349: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Ooh, fancy yerself a tough one do ya, laddie? Well, how do you like the sound of the Border Worlds, eh? I though that might get your attention. Bowex supplies Freeport 6 in Tau-29 with Mining Machinery. Yup, there's money to be made out there if you've got the sand for it. My guess is you'll be dusted before you ever make landing in Freeport 6. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132346: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) I make the Bowex supply run to the police base Aberdeen in Edinburgh. You'd think they would take better care of their supply shipments, but I usually come into the base limping with a few gunners dead or dying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132347: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Glasgow sells H-Fuel and buys Consumer Goods. It's a nice run if you enjoy hauling more expensive Commodities than just the Oxygen and Water, and it keeps you in-system too, if that's what you are looking for. Oh, I almost forgot, mate... York needs Pharmaceuticals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132345: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Bowex ships basic supplies throughout this system, keeping several Leeds bases equipped. I fly Oxygen, Water, and Food to York, Glasgow, and Durham. It might be a short jaunt, but I lose escorts every week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132352: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) You ever want to head into Kusari space? It's quite a different bag of socks, I'll be the first to say. But if you want to get out there and see Sirius, like every young buck, then off ya go to Narita. We need their Optronics here at this base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132350: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) I hate them Cambridge folks. They are all stuck up cod livers, with their datapads and degrees and their "Oh, I'm a smart one aren't I?" attitudes. Here in Leeds a datapad is best used for breaking over somebody's head. Well, if you wanna run to Cambridge doing the same thing Bowex does, then I recommend picking up some Optronics here and returning with Food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132348: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) If you'd like to visit the capital, I know how you can get there and back and make decent coin doing it too. Bowex ships Construction Machinery to New London and Southampton regularly. On the return, you can haul Diamonds for the Leeds Mining Machinery plant, which uses gems for all those drills and grinders. Hauling cargo like Diamonds is quite dangerous though, so I hope you like action. Every pirate that runs a scan on you is going to come in firing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132351: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Claude Coppleman (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Manchester is a fine system, it is. We need their Optical Chips too. Sheffield has some of the finest in all of Sirius. Careful though, it's right on the edge of the Independent Worlds and a lot of bad traffic flows through there. I almost bought it on that run. I think there was one bolt holding my ship together when I set it down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132443: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Cristof Baskcomb (at LD-14 in Leeds) It makes me worried just to step foot on this base. Do you know how many times this base has gone critical and flooded the corridors with radiation? More than once, you can be sure of that. I make a decent living working for Bowex running MOX from this base to the Armed Forces battleships. I pick up their spent fuel pellets for reprocessing on the return trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132444: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Cristof Baskcomb (at LD-14 in Leeds) Bowex is the exclusive supplier of MOX to the Kusari Naval Forces. We ship it to Yokohama in New Tokyo, where it is distributed by Samura to the various locations. While we are there we pick up their Toxic Waste and ship it back here -- a tidy arrangement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132442: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Cristof Baskcomb (at LD-14 in Leeds) Bowex ships H-Fuel to this base from Glasgow. It's the only shipment we make that doesn't involve MOX or Toxic Waste, so it is considerably less dangerous. Toxic Waste is flammable or even explosive, and the MOX makes you a prime target for the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133064: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) The Sheffield is a large distribution point for Commodities in Bretonia. Since it is so close, we bring basic supplies to this base from there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133065: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) It may be nearby, but I have close calls running Pharmaceuticals and Side Arms here from Sheffield all the time. On the last run I almost got vaped by some Outcasts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133066: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) We use a lot of Oxygen and Water at this base, so Bowex ships additional supplies from Birmingham, a large producer of Commodities in this part of Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133067: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ David Styles (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) The run that I make for Bowex is the only one that brings supplies to this base from outside of Manchester. H-Fuel from Cambridge is shipped regularly to this base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131891: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Garrett Twidell (at Planet Los Angeles in California) I handle Gold and Luxury Goods runs between New London and Manhattan. It gets pretty stressful. The armored transport helps, but it also serves as a flashing billboard for every criminal in scanning range to come and take a look. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131888: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Garrett Twidell (at Planet Los Angeles in California) We just came in with a load of Polymers and Hydrocarbons from Birmingham, across the Barrier in Manchester. I'm turning the ship back for Sheffield Station tomorrow with a load of Optical Chips. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131890: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Garrett Twidell (at Planet Los Angeles in California) I've hauled Superconductors and Boron from New York to New London and Leeds as long as I can remember. I usually pick up a load of Polymers or Hydrocarbons in Manchester for the return trip across the Barrier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131889: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Garrett Twidell (at Planet Los Angeles in California) I haul Luxury Food from Cambridge all the way here. You really have to push it to make it before the Food spoils. We typically pick up a load of Luxury Goods for New London on the return. That's less time-sensitive but more dangerous for the Lane Hackers in Cortez and Magellan. They always seem to know when we're coming. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133108: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Gary Harvard (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Farmer (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) Birmingham provides this base with H-Fuel, Oxygen, and Water. It's nice running supplies to a police station. You get to know the men and women who are out there protecting you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133107: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Gary Harvard (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Farmer (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) This station is supplied entirely by Bowex. We deliver Side Arms and Food here from Sheffield. Though the distance is short and there are plenty of police and Bounty Hunters patrolling the Trade Lanes, it is still a dangerous run. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133109: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Gary Harvard (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) The demand here for H-Fuel is pretty high since patrols are constantly launching from this base. We supplement the H-Fuel supply to this base with deliveries from Cambridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132470: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harrison Cawdron (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) Back in New London, more than a few people are starting to question the official media's version of the Gaians. Instead of engaging in general piracy, the Gaians focus their efforts on Gaia and terraforming-related activities in Bretonia. I must admit, it is a unique planet that represents something that we have lost in Bretonia. It's worth protecting from Cobalt mining, or whatever BMM wanted to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132468: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harrison Cawdron (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I just arrived yesterday. We had a bit of a scare with some Gaians along the Islay Cloud stretch, but the Police Authority soon gave chase. I'm headed down to Gaia this afternoon. We've been promised by the guide that we'll see plenty of grass antelope and white buffalo, and maybe a giant tusked tiger if we're lucky. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132469: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harrison Cawdron (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) Bowex does not officially take a stand on Gaia or terraforming in general. I personally feel that it has been a tremendous waste of government money that could've been better spent in a clean-up of Leeds, or in subsidizing new technology research to make Bretonia more competitive with the other Houses. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132549: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harvey Jordan (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) It's too bad Bretonia has to depend on a Liberty company for our drugs. Just goes to show you how we've fallen behind over the centuries. Maybe some of these young researchers will see the light and head off on their own. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132548: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harvey Jordan (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) We normally stop by Cambridge to pick up a load of Food or Consumer Goods for Leeds on our return trip up north. That doesn't interest the Outcasts up there as much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132547: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Harvey Jordan (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) Cryer used to ship its own Organisms from Leeds. Unfortunately, that little spat with the Outcasts led to a lot of its ships being destroyed in Smog Alley, that stretch of Trade Lane between Leeds and the New London Gate that runs between the clouds. Now we handle it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132651: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Toxic Waste that this ship's engines produce is hauled off to LD-14 for disposal or reprocessing. It can be dangerous because Toxic Waste is often highly volatile, so a stray shot into your hold could blow your ship in half. Once you get to Leeds with the Toxic Waste, you can pick up MOX that is produced there and bring it back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132649: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The basic supplies that come to this base from New London are under constant attack from Mollys and other undesirables. I know this because I run the shipment every once in a while. This station also needs Side Arms and Pharmaceuticals shipped from New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132650: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Howard Haslar (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Bounty Hunters you see at this base are here because Bowex wants them here. The bottom line is that they help reduce the attacks on our shipping convoys, which means we lose less money to pirates. They are a scruffy lot and the truth is I don't like them very much, but I am glad they are here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131384: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Newark Station in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Toronto Station in Ontario) This station is our trading center for operations in Liberty space. We supply high-demand items to Ageira in Pueblo, but first we come through this point. We insure many of our shipments through IC at this base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131386: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Newark Station in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Toronto Station in Ontario) Bowex ships Hydrocarbons and Polymers to this base from the Birmingham facility in Manchester. We supply all of Liberty's needs with these important Commodities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131385: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Newark Station in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Marc Coleman (at Toronto Station in Ontario) Bowex ships Hydrocarbons and Polymers from this base to Pueblo. The bloody Xenos are always a problem when it comes to making our various shipments in Liberty space. What is just as infuriating is Liberty's apparent apathy concerning the Xeno issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132499: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Frost (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) This is a beautiful place. I'll have to come back sometime to visit the Shetland. I'm glad that Bowex doesn't have to supply the other bases, though. Security gets to be a much bigger issue once you leave the safety of Aberdeen and the Gate area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132498: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Frost (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) I've just dropped off our monthly supply shipment for this base. We bring it in from Leeds, Side Arms and all. I'm not in a hurry to get back to Leeds, because I've got a respiratory problem that always acts up when I land there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132500: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Frost (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) Had a rough run through the West Leeds Smog Cloud on my last return trip. Some Outcasts mistook me for something juicy, like a VIP ship. They never should have let that cloud get so out of hand. That's our efficient government for you -- always on top of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131278: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Hurrell (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) We ship Boron from this plant into Bretonia, specifically Stokes and Southampton. It's a long and brutal run to those bases. You got Rogues here, Mollys there, and Outcasts in between. And they will all try and kill you for your cargo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131277: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Hurrell (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The problem with the run to Pittsburgh is I have to travel through the Pittsburgh Debris Fields. It always puts me on edge moving through debris; you can't see hostiles until it's too late, and usually the police can't move in fast enough to help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131279: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Matthew Hurrell (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Bowex is really a high-cost item shipper, but our contracts for the Boron here pay us reasonably well so we do it. Many of our ships haul Luxury Goods, Luxury Foods, and Gold. But I like hauling Boron. Pirates don't usually care as much about a shipment of Boron and will let me pass. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132566: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Guard Station in Bastille) We are delivering supplies from Cambridge for the battleship. It's not much of a run, but it keeps me busy. The Corsairs rarely bother us along the Cambridge line. We bring the Side Arms and H-Fuel in from London as needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132567: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Guard Station in Bastille) We had a rough MOX run on the way in. Mollys attacked us as we left LD-14. The Armed Forces saved the day on that one. Then the Mollys bit us again in New London. This time it got dicey, since all we had were police in the area. I lost an escort on that one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132568: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Rick Burton (at Guard Station in Bastille) Normally, running Toxic Waste from a ship like this one is not an attractive target, but those Mollys think they can build a dirty bomb with some of this nasty stuff. So, we have to deal with stress both ways from LD-14. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133074: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Roberto Jacobs (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) The basic supplies produced at this base are shipped to every other base in this system. A Bowex pilot needs to be able to enter a Trade Lane in cruise speed. It's not easy, but necessary when pirates are near. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133075: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Roberto Jacobs (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Polymers are a valued Commodity in Liberty. Those produced here are shipped to the New York shipyards. The Liberty Navy is responsible for patrolling the Independent Worlds, but I can tell you her fleet ain't big enough to get the job done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133076: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Roberto Jacobs (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Polymers and Hydrocarbons are shipped regularly to Los Angeles from this base. The trip through the Independent Worlds is a white-knuckle affair that leaves my nerves a little more shot each time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132414: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Robin Newman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Riley Lord (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) You are reasonably trustworthy in Bowex's eyes, so I don't mind telling you that the MOX from this base comes directly from LD-14. We ship them back Toxic Waste to reprocess. BMM had to start doing it after 800 years of dumping because of ALG. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132412: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Robin Newman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Riley Lord (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) Just doing a quick supply run from Leeds. This system is one of those exceptions to the rule that planetside life is better. They were going through one of those gas mask-level smog alerts when I left this morning. That's when even the rats start to die. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132413: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Robin Newman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Riley Lord (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) I used to do the Border World run to Kusari. This is my last job until retirement, which will not be on Leeds, mind you. I've got my eye on a nice cottage in the Cambridge countryside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131551: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Stevie Ballmer (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) The reefs here are stupendous. We took the five-day sail and sea package. They dive for all sorts of strange creatures and prepare absolutely amazing meals every night. The night sky is just incredible here. You can see the Barrier in all of its glory stretching off into space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131552: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Stevie Ballmer (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) Bowex is holding its company executive retreat here for the fourth consecutive year. It's a little dicey getting here, but great once you've arrived. They should convert one of those crazy Bretonian terraforming projects into a pleasure planet like this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132937: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Thomas Duffy (at Yokohama Shipyard in New Tokyo) We're here picking up a load of Scrap Metal for Stokes. We dropped off a load of Ship Hull Panels the other day for their commercial transport production here. It doesn't make any sense to me. We ship these all the way across the Tau Border Worlds, yet they can still produce transports cheaper than Southampton. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132938: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Thomas Duffy (at Yokohama Shipyard in New Tokyo) We've got a special ship for bringing in the MOX to Kusari from LD-14. Bringing MOX across the Border Worlds is a nail biter, to say the least. Pirates of all types fancy potential bomb-making material. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132939: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ Thomas Duffy (at Yokohama Shipyard in New Tokyo) Bowex has an exclusive contract with Samura to handle Kusari government MOX and Toxic Waste delivery and disposal. We had to be pretty competitive on our rates, since ALG already has a foothold in Honshu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133595: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ William Grayson (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) It really is a shame about that Gateway convoy that was set upon by Corsairs last week. All hands lost, truly a tragedy. Ha! They shouldn't be meddling with Bowex business; I say it serves them all right. Fine by me their wives are widows, that's what you get for marrying an idiot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133594: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/ William Grayson (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) Cambridge supplies this base with almost everything we use at Freeport 1. Then we ship the Polymers and Hydrocarbons here back to Cambridge. It works out rather tidily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525378: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .Our pilots come fresh from the Academy with very little experience. We get two types, the ones who want to go exploring, and get killed in one of the many ancient minefields dotting this system, or those who can't fly to save their lives, and get themselves killed by pirates. Anyone who survives longer gets to fly on more profitable journeys to more distant systems. Better pay, I believe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525386: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .Don't go north or south in Newcastle, you'll head straight into pirates and criminals. In the east you'll find the Mollys out in force, and in the west there are rumoured to be huge ancient minefields. In fact, on second thoughts, don't go anywhere in this system, get out while you still can. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525382: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .We need a huge staff here. Luckily, a lot of people come here because of the huge salaries that we pay. There's a lot of money to be made here these days, and the pirates know it. Thankfully, we're never attacked directly here, as it is just far too dangerous for the pirates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525397: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Farmer (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .I advise you to avoid pretty much everywhere off the trade lanes. There are so many dangerous parts of Newcastle; If you wander off the beaten track you're just asking to die. Painfully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131201: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Captain Chris Yallalee (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Bowex deals in Luxury Goods. Only the finest products are shipped by Border World Exports. Unfortunately, these are the very items coveted by the villainous Lane Hackers. They attack our shipments in the Independent Worlds of Cortez and Magellan between here and New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131200: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Captain Chris Yallalee (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Bowex ships Luxury Consumer Goods from here in Manhattan to New London. I was hired by Bowex to pilot their freighters, but I've been thinking about going into a new line of work. I was almost killed a few days ago when Lane Hackers attacked my ship in the Independent Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131199: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Captain Chris Yallalee (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Bowex ships Gold into Manhattan from New London. This is one of the most dangerous runs you can make between New York and New London. Think about it -- you're hauling Gold, something everybody wants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525321: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Jacob Hurst (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .The only known entrance and exit in this system is to Leeds via the Jump Gate. There were plans to build a Jump Gate to the Cortez system, but so far our pleas are left unanswered. Manchester would provide us with a quicker way to Liberty with our goods. I heard that Ageira might begin construction on one in the next couple of years, funded by Interspace and presumably paid for after the war ends, but who knows? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525318: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Jacob Hurst (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .Our escort pilots try and do a good job, but they are constantly overshadowed by the IMG escort fighters. They're just incredible. I've seen one shoot down three Outcast ships by itself before, and then it continued escorting its transport as if nothing had happened! I guess they get a lot of practice out in the border worlds though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525314: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Jacob Hurst (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .This system seemed a good place to build this station. This is Bowex's only shipyard manufacturing facility and it is so modern that it can produce ships much faster than Southampton in New London. Of course, Southampton can produce a lot more all at once, since it is much bigger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525315: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/James Burgess (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .Belfast used to be owned by the BMM, and we used to get a lot of shipments from it, and it helped with revenue. Ever since the Mollys captured it, we've had requests from BMM to build warships here for an assault on Belfast. The BMM want it back, but between you and me, I doubt they ever will recapture it. I can't say i'd be too sorry either, seeing as how badly BMM treated the Mollys in the past. It's a lesson that Bowex has taken onboard, and we treat our employees well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525320: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/James Burgess (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .This system is a hellhole. With all the criminal activity, we lose thousands of credits worth of goods every day. The pirates must be laughing at us day and night! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525379: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .Someone told me that the IMG are secretly helping Kusari. If that's the case, the Bretonian Armed Forces will probably hold South Shields hostage. If the IMG are supporting Kusari in the war, then they deserve everything they get. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525383: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .Did you know we actually have the CEO of both Bowex and BMM here almost all the time? It needs to be kept quiet because of possible assassination attempts, so don't spread it around ok? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525387: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .There is supposedly a jump hole to the Manchester system in Newcastle, although I hear it is somewhere south of the battleship Grimsby, inside the barrier nebula. It is dangerous out there though, so be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525307: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lewis Lowe (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .Did you hear about some new discovery out in the Tau systems? The IMG must have discovered it or something, and no doubt Kusari and Bretonia will be fighting over whatever is out there before long. As if there wasn't enough fighting going on already, especially with the fall of Glasgow Outpost and Stokes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132527: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Dennis Downs (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) Cambridge is Bretonia's breadbasket and Consumer Goods production center. We have various crews shipping Foods and Luxury Foods out to London. Consumer Goods shipments are consigned for London and Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132528: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Dennis Downs (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) I'm just dropping a bit of Gold from New London. We're headed out in the morning for Rheinland so I better have a drink tonight, since it could be my last. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132531: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Dennis Downs (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) Cambridge imports Fertilizers, Side Arms, and Luxury Goods from New London -- quite an eclectic mix of needs there, if I don't say so myself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134284: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep.

Its escorts were destroyed, and the ship was commandeered. An Armed Forces patrol responding to the initial distress call intercepted the raiding party near the edge of the Grasmere Cloud, and a bloody firefight ensued. The heavily damaged armored transport was the only pirate ship able to escape into the safety of the Grasmere Cloud. Its crew is believed to have perished in there before establishing contact with other Corsairs in the area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132530: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Dennis Downs (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) We transfer a lot of the Republican cargo from Rheinland to Bowex ships here, including Engine Components and High-Temperature Alloys going to Southampton. Occasionally, there's the odd Diamond shipment bound for the Leeds Mining Machinery plants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132529: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Dennis Downs (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) We bring in the raw materials for Consumer Goods production from various locations. Basic Alloys are shipped from Stokes, Optical Chips come from Los Angeles, and Optronics are shipped from Kusari via New London. Polymers make the short trip from Freeport 1 in the Omega-3 system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132209: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Derrick Cole (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Running the MOX in from LD-14 can be a real nail biter. Rumor has it that the Mollys are trying to steal some to make a bomb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132210: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Derrick Cole (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I just came down from Glasgow in the Leeds system with a load of Kusari Optronics and Engine Components. That's our HQ for all Bowex field operations. It would make more sense to be in London, but they got this thing about tradition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132208: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Derrick Cole (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) On our trips from Pittsburg we bring in the Boron they use for the Hull Panels. We also pick up Superconductors and Optical Chips in Los Angeles every other trip. Those are used for engine combustion chambers and avionics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525380: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .The Armed Forces pilots who come here are battle hardened, usually on a little R&R from the frontlines. Each of them must have racked up over a dozen kills. You can see it in their eyes, the haunting look of a killer. It's actually nice to have such warriors protecting us. We give them free drinks for a story when business is slow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132415: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) It's a quick jaunt up from Leeds. We have to bring all the essentials up here, like life support gases, Food -- the usual. Nobody bothers us most of the time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525384: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .This station was built in 790 A.S. to accommodate many of the stockbrokers across Sirius that came to speculate on the stock markets. It was originally based on planet New London, but investors were always being scared off because of the endless Molly and Corsair assaults that used to take place there. Nowadays they all come here, and while there may be a lot of criminals in Newcastle, it is easier to protect our vital installations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525376: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .We buy and sell hundreds of products a day here. We are the centre of all stock brokering in Bretonia, and our actions here can change prices throughout Sirius on quite a number of goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132420: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) Glasgow has served as our company headquarters and shipping portal to the Border Worlds for centuries. It is now used mainly as a fuel distribution point for northern Bretonia, although in the past it contained most of the corporate offices. New London is now the center of operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132422: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Hayden Farmer (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Adam Bradley (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Lancaster Bartender/Martin Nash (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) We have been serving Sirius since 66 AS. That makes us one of the oldest surviving companies in Bretonia. We didn't get this far by being easy on our competitors and enemies. That irritating upstart, Gateway, will fail soon enough. Our influential friends in London will make sure of that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131809: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Jason Powell (at Fort Bush in New York) Ft. Bush lies on our Boron route that starts in Pittsburgh and goes all the way to Bretonia. I just brought in a shipment last night. We'll be heading off to New London after a few beers. Makes the drive a little less boring. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131811: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Jason Powell (at Fort Bush in New York) I'm returning to Newark after dropping off a load of Polymers and Hydrocarbons at Pueblo. It's not too bad here in Liberty space. At least there aren't any of those pesky Corsairs. I refuse to do any Border World runs anymore. It's just not worth it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131810: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Jason Powell (at Fort Bush in New York) Normally I run Luxury Goods from Manhattan to New London. That is a cargo more befitting of a senior Bowex captain. Unfortunately, I lost a recent shipment in Magellan to Lane Hackers, and was promptly demoted to the Pittsburgh to Stokes Boron run. Maybe it's a hint that I should get out of the shipping business. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132020: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) New London serves as our primary distribution point for H-Fuel in Bretonia. It's shipped in from the Glasgow Outpost in Leeds. From here we transfer it to ships bound for police and military bases within Cambridge, Manchester, and Dublin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132024: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) Bowex handles BMM Gold shipments to Liberty. We usually make the return run with Luxury Goods. It gets a bit dicey in the Independent Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132025: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) Pharmaceuticals are shipped to Leeds, Manchester, and military bases from our primary Bretonia distribution center here in New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132022: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) Some of our traffic consists of Food shipments from Cambridge. We use London as a trans-shipment point, with cargos delivered to Southampton and the Essex and Suffolk battleships. On the return trip to Cambridge I usually haul Fertilizers or Construction Machinery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132021: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) Side Arms are transferred from Universal transports to Bowex ships on New London for shipment to Cambridge, Leeds, and the three Armed Forces battleships stationed within our frontiers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132023: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Michael Taylor (at Planet New London in New London) Our ships haul the raw materials like Basic Alloys and Optronics to Cambridge and return with Consumer Goods, which get distributed to Leeds and Glasgow. Unfortunately, all of these Commodities are desired by the Corsairs, and there have been a fair number of attacks in recent weeks, mostly in the eastern end of this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133119: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) This station is supplied entirely by Bowex. We deliver Side Arms and Food here from Sheffield. It's not far, but the last delivery almost got destroyed by some marauding Gaians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133120: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) Birmingham provides this base with H-Fuel, Oxygen, and Water. The run is an easy one overall, though you can run into occasional trouble with Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133121: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Rep. Timothy Cruise (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) The demand for H-Fuel here is pretty high since patrols are constantly taking off from this base. Some H-Fuel deliveries come from Cambridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525377: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .We receive dozens of transports every day. They have to be escorted because of the high criminal activity here in Newcastle in recent years, although around this station you should be perfectly safe, as luckily we have Gateshead station opposite us. That gives us some nice protection. I feel sorry for Scarborough and South Shields. They get attacked and lose thousands of credits worth of materials daily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525381: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .Ah, the view from this station is quite enchanting. If you take a look out of the main viewports, you'll see planet Carlisle. Isn't it something? It's a shame we can't colonise the planet yet, although I hear that Cryer Pharmaceuticals and Planetform are very close to creating a protein to completely eradicate the disease planet-wide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525385: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Archie Iqbal (at Lancaster Trade Center in Newcastle) .The new talks between the Mollys and the Bretonian government has resulted in a complete stop to attacks on our convoys by Molly forces. We're so grateful that we sent a large amount of food, medical supplies and credits to the Mollys as thanks. In return, they promised to never attack us again even if the pact falls through. Unfortunately, that agreement only applies to Newcastle. But that is still better than nothing, so long as they honour it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132453: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Arnold Reeves (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) This police post is a new construction designed to monitor this Trade Lane. There have been numerous attacks here by all the resident criminal factions within Bretonia's boundaries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132452: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Arnold Reeves (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) The best way to climb your way out of this dirt hole is to become a pilot. It is possible; I've seen people do it. Slowly they change from creatures into people with enough self-respect to stand up for themselves. That's what happened to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132451: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Arnold Reeves (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) Bowex supplies this base with everything it needs to operate. It all comes from Leeds. It's a short trip, but one of the most dangerous Lanes in the system with all the criminal traffic that crosses it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131842: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) Our corporation is the cornerstone of Bretonian shipping. We have always competed fairly with other shippers from outside of Bretonia, but the filthy young upstarts at Gateway Shipping have neither the experience nor the intellect to make a successful venture of their firm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131841: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) Bowex brings this shipyard the finest in Polymers from Birmingham. Yes, we brave the Rogues to ship these components to Liberty space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131843: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Eric Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) This company received the first royal shipping charter from the Crown; we have hauled and shipped material throughout Bretonia's long and illustrious history. Through it all we have remained steadfast and vigilant to the needs of our customers, often times not only shipping but insuring precious Commodities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133297: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Howard Thomas (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) Bowex is the only foreign shipper to be granted landing rights at Osaka for over 200 years. We supply all of Bretonia's H-Fuel needs. We are hopeful that the arrangement can continue, although we hear murmurs of great changes coming. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133298: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Howard Thomas (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) I must say, Samura has let this facility fall into disrepair in recent years. We have pointed out numerous cracks and corroding joints in the tanks to their inspectors, but nothing ever comes of it. The Blood Dragons are always trying to sabotage the place, and at this rate, their job will be simple. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133299: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Howard Thomas (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) Samura has approached us about plans to open a new gas storage area adjacent to Shinjuku in recent months. We're not quite sure what is going on within Kusari -- plotting and scheming on all sides. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132913: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Marcus Washington (at Narita Outpost in New Tokyo) I'm not really comfortable having to share this cramped Outpost while so many of our competitors loiter about. You have to be very careful what you say here, especially with those Gateway sods about. At least Republican is a respectable company with the proper pedigrees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132915: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Marcus Washington (at Narita Outpost in New Tokyo) We've just come over from Yokohama to pick up a return cargo for Glasgow. It looks like it'll be Engine Components or Optronics. It's an odd place, Kusari. The two giants control everything -- no mid-sized companies like the other Houses. I'd give Kishiro the technical edge of the two, but Samura has far more political clout in New Tokyo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132914: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Sales Rep. Marcus Washington (at Narita Outpost in New Tokyo) Bowex has been providing the most reliable transport of Kusari and Bretonia goods across the Border Worlds since 258. Before the Trade Lanes were built through the Tau systems, it was a long and dangerous journey across the ice fields of the Barrier, sometimes taking upwards of six months. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525316: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Scarborough Bartender/James Sullivan (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .The IMG were the first to discover the Newcastle system, although they just used the jump holes. After the Jump Gate to Leeds was completed in 595 A.S., the newly created Bowex Corporation decided to set up their headquarters here in Newcastle. Scarborough Station was finished in 614 A.S., and we've been manufacturing goods here ever since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525319: * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Scarborough Bartender/James Sullivan (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .We mainly use Trains for our jobs. For the more experienced pilots we may grant them a Large or Advanced Train, but that's somewhat rare as they are very expensive to produce. We don't want to lose too many of them to pirates. Interspace's insurance policies aren't cheap. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133084: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) There are two Jump Holes in this system. The Hole to Leeds is in the Birmingham Ice Field; the Hole to Magellan is in the southern part of the Sheffield North Ice Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133085: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) There is a law in the Bounty Hunters Guild that must never be broken. The proper authorities can't ever be told the location of the Jump Holes. Any Bounty Hunter who breaks this rule is expelled from the Guild, and is usually the victim of an accident. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133086: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) My father was a Bounty Hunter and so was his father before him. Dad started taking me hunting with him when I turned fourteen. I've been doing this ever since, and I've bagged over four hundred criminals in that time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133088: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Lane Hackers do a lot of raiding in this system. They know when the Gold shipments are going to come through, and yellow metal is one of their favorite finds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133083: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Outcasts come into this system via the Magellan Jump Hole, so if you are looking to bag an Outcast, then I suggest you look in the Sheffield North. Be careful -- Outcasts are pretty touchy with a hold full of Cardamine and have no problem blowing a hole in your ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133087: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) The best way to catch a Molly is to use bait. If you can take out one of their engines, the other Mollys are going to stay behind and try to rescue the distressed pilot. That's when you find out if you are good enough to do this job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133082: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Your past does not matter when you become a Bounty Hunter. Once you join the Guild, all is forgotten. For many it is the only chance they have to turn their lives around. I'm not saying life is all roses from that point on -- far from it -- but it's better than going back to the Newgate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133080: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) This base is a major distribution point in this part of Bretonian space. Aside from a small police outpost, this is the last stop before hitting the Independent Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133081: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Rostock Station in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Allan Pearce (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hazel Stirling (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tessa Wallace (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunters Guild/Sheffield Bartender/Winston Fisher (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) This base's location between the two major ice fields in this system leaves us with plenty of options. All kinds of scumbag criminals come into this system. You name it, we got it: Mollys, Gaians, Outcasts, and even Lane Hackers. Most of the action takes place north of the Trade Lanes, except the occasional Molly raid on the Newgate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131546: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I just came back from a tough battle in the Roatan Cloud. I was ambushing some Lane Hackers when some Outcasts showed up out of nowhere. Barely got out. My wingman didn't. I think I'll need a couple of those Curacao shooters from the bar tonight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131544: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) This is one nice place to be based, although those snooty, rich Manhattan types don't seem to like us much. Lots of work around here. Rogues, Lane Hackers, Outcasts. We've got our hands full in Cortez. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131547: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) If you know the shipping paths of the Outcasts, you can snag some Cardamine cargos. They don't give up without a fight, though. Best thing is to find the Jump Hole to California in the Paloma Cloud, then hang out a little to the southwest of it. They'll be along soon enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131545: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but I've had a few. There are some Jump Holes I know of in this system. One is in the southeastern quadrant in the Paloma Cloud, and it leads to California. The other is in the Corcovado Field. That one goes to Magellan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131549: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I'm thinking of starting a side business. Take out some of those soft rich folks from the inner House worlds that have never seen true Indie-world danger. Cruise the clouds, look for some trouble, then hightail it out of there before it gets too hot. What do ya think? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131548: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Bart Smith (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Peekaboo Street (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) We do a lot of patrols in this system. There's a Rogue base somewhere out in the Corcovado Field. Good luck getting close to it. It's swarming with Rogues, Hackers, and Outcasts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131716: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) Got me a Rogue ace the other day by the name of Buford "Tex" Wilson. He'd been shooting up a lot of ships along the Trade Lane to the Galileo Gate during the past few weeks. The LPI cornered him once, but he just shot his way out of it. I was patient, waited in the Alamosa Field near the Galileo Jump Hole. When he came through, blammo! That bounty will set me up for a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131715: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) Liberty space is the training grounds for all Bounty Hunters. As a Hunter becomes more and more accomplished, they will begin to move out towards the edges of Sirius. Only the very best should be going up against Corsairs and Outcasts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131713: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) A good way to catch Xenos is to fly into the Copperton Field, then take the Jump Hole to Kepler. Watch out on the other side, swarms of them in that cloud. Their base is real close. Never seen it, but you can feel it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131714: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) The LPI doesn't have the guts to come into the fields very far. First sign of trouble, and they're hightailing it back to Denver. That's where we come in. Since a lot of us are Rogues who did time in Sugarland or Huntsville, we know where the Jump Holes and bases are. Guild rules are that you tell no one or you may have a little "accident" out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131712: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) I'm heading out on a run against the Xeno base in the Silverton Field in a few hours. We don't get that big a bounty from IC and the government for Xenos. Now Outcasts, that's another matter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131717: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Rio Grande in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Petersburg in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Fort Severn in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ben Carlson (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sol Laskowitz (at Battleship Alma in Quebec) Bounties used to be for bringing back the offender dead or alive. Somewhere back when the Lane Hackers started itching old Ageira and IC, it changed to dead only, please. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133063: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) I sat down at a bar in Piccadilly once and met the only man to escape from this prison -- Willy Logan. It took him ten years to make his vac-suit, and then he escaped through the waste disposal system and was flushed into space with the garbage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133062: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) If you find Mollys in this system, they are either sitting here doing time or they came through the Leeds Jump Hole. That Hole is tucked away nicely in the Birmingham Ice Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133061: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) I may be a Bretonian Bounty Hunter, but I've been making a lot of good money from a Liberty company. Ageira is paying me big bucks to dust any Lane Hackers that I catch in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133058: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) I haven't really put many inmates in this prison; that's more of a police job. The chaps that I've collected my bounties on are dead. It's just easier like that and that's how most companies prefer 'em. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133060: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) My first trip to the Newgate I spent some time wearing a number. I decided then to go straight. After I finished serving my time I knew I'd never come back -- not as a prisoner at least. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133059: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Benjamin Start (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Loulia Martin (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) I used to collect lots of bounties on the Mollys who'd attack the ship trying to free their mates. Not anymore. I hang out at this base to hear about incoming convoys of newly captured prisoners. That's where they try to make the breaks these days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133202: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) I've been contracted by Cryer to come down here and kill a few Corsairs for them. Their base, Atka, got hit a few weeks ago. Usually it's the Outcasts who hit Atka, but this time it was the Corsairs. Corsairs, Outcasts -- it doesn't make any difference to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133201: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) To the west are the Sabana Fragments. You can get to Omega-41 from there -- a good idea if you are trying to avoid the Corsairs. They are still all over, since this is their space, but you won't be going through the Corsair home system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133203: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) Head for the cloud south of here and you will find Artifacts, but that's not why I go there. The cloud to the south hides the Jump Hole to Omicron Gamma. If you do go in there, get ready to fight or you'd better be good at hiding. No matter what you do, don't stay in there too long, because it's just a matter of time before your number gets punched. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133204: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) I have come to this place looking for a Corsair named Jardin. He is an infamous killer and pirate. Many say he cannot be stopped, but if anyone can drop him, I can. He is just a man, and a man can die, no matter how tough he is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133206: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lisa Snowdon (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ai Suzuki (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) I was a Red Hessian for many years. I became pretty good at killing Corsairs, so I decided to get paid for it. Besides, I had grown weary of piracy. I became a Hessian for political reasons, before they sold out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133205: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Alicia Kinsey (at Philadelphia Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hiroko Utaki (at Philadelphia Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lisa Snowdon (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ai Suzuki (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) My brother joined the Bounty Hunters Guild a few years ago. He's not tough enough to take on Corsairs yet; he should still be popping Rogues. The idiot sent me a message telling me he was ready for the big leagues in southern Sirius. I'm trying to find him before he gets killed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133716: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) The war between the Hessians and the Corsairs is still raging in Omega-5, but here the Hessians are in control. The Corsairs still come to Omega-11 by way of the Omega-41 Jump Hole, but they are looking for Diamonds usually. They do make hit and runs on the Hessians, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133715: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) There are five Jump Holes in this system. The Corsairs come in from Omega-41, which is in the Madsack Fragment. The Holes to the other two Border Worlds connected to this system are in the Jeschke Fragment. That field is loaded with Hessians; don't go there unless that's what you're looking for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133717: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) The Jump Hole to Dresden is in the Kraft Fragment. It is just south of the Jump Gate to Stuttgart. The Red Hessians make use of that Hole quite often, so be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133719: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) Since the Rheinland authorities have deemed this system too unsafe to patrol, we are the only protection that the corporations have from Corsairs and Red Hessians. This place is hell; if you don't get your brains cooked out of your head by radiation, the pirates will kill you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133714: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) The miners at this base have gone crazy. They are all extremely superstitious. I once referred to the sun as a she, and they all started screaming at me. They said the sun would burn my shadow into a Diamond for saying such a thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133718: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) If you want to get into Stuttgart, and you don't need any authorities scanning your ship, I recommend using the Jump Hole in the Franke Fragment. This system is littered with Hessians, so you'll find them in that field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134294: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Candice Hargenrader (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Winston Elliot (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep.

Out along the long Von Rohe Belt, unprotected from radiation, numerous dead ships lie floating in the void. Some of them may have Diamonds, most don't. Many of the salvage expeditions that have been sent to retrieve the precious cargos have lingered too long and succumbed to the radiation themselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525668: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Caroline Platz (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I was born on planet Hamburg originally, and lived there for quite a few years. My father was an executive for Republican Shipping while my mother worked in the offices that Universal Shipping has on Hamburg. They were killed in 807 A.S. by a Liberty Rogue ambush on the Texas side of the jump gate when their transport was destroyed. I considered joining the Rheinland Military, but they're too strict and they can't operate in Liberty, so I joined the Bounty Hunters Guild. I mainly target the Liberty Rogues and look for information on Rogue hideouts, and eventually I'll find out which ones killed my parents and they'll get their comeuppance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525669: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Caroline Platz (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I would say don't listen to my friend, Max Fightmaster, but unfortunately his bragging isn't just bragging. He really is one of the best fighter pilots I have ever met. I guess he was aptly named. He might have a loud mouth, but you can rely on him to back you up in a fight. He took out seven Liberty Rogue fighters by himself last week, while I was out on patrol with him. I only killed two others. If it hadn't been for him and his prowess in a fighter craft, I think the Rogues might have killed us both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525667: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Caroline Platz (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I quite like this base, its quiet and the law doesn't bother you too much. There are quite a few bounties to be had in this system too, mostly Liberty Rogue and Xenos though. Most of my compatriots work out of Houston, but this base has quite a few jump holes connecting this place to several other Liberty systems, and the criminals use them all the time. All I have to do is sit here and let them come through the jump holes. Easy enough, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131650: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) In the east of this system between the Kuryo and Matsuo Clouds, you can find a Jump Hole leading to Galileo -- and Hacker territory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131649: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) This system and Galileo are as far north as I like to go unless I'm cruising up along the Edge Worlds. I don't like going into Kusari space, and the Kusari don't like me there either. Their word for non-Kusari is Gaijin, which means outsider or stranger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131647: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) The Lane Hackers in this system are former Ageira personnel who got panned after the Kepler Storm scandal cost IC and Ageira an untold fortune. Now they are making Ageira and IC pay an even dearer price for making them take the fall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131651: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) Xenos do a lot of their pirating in Colorado. You'll find Lane Hackers there, too. Going north into Shikoku and beyond, you will run into the Kusari criminals such as the Golden Chrysanthemums, Blood Dragons, and Hogosha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131648: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) If you're looking for Xenos, you'll find them in the Denko Cloud on the western side of this system. If you keep going southwest past the cloud, you might run into a Jump Hole leading into Colorado. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131646: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) The Xenos in this system are on their way out. We kill and capture more than they can replace; most of them reside in their southern bases on the other side of New York. Besides, they're easy to pick off, and they have to come to this base to get supplies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134324: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Chris Lakowski (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Frank Maddin (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) A Universal large transport named the McKinley was caught in the Dark Matter Storm of 784, which destroyed the old Trade Lane through the eastern part of the system. It was carrying a load of Superconductors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132467: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Claire Atkyns (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gregory Lewis (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) Those Gaians don't really seem to be a bad lot -- maybe a little up in the clouds, if you know what I mean. They haven't had to deal with makin' a living, like us working-class folks. Orbital has brought us here to bring in a few scalps, and that's what I'll do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132466: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Claire Atkyns (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gregory Lewis (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) If you want to rack up the bounties, just hang out by the Leeds Jump Hole in the Islay Cloud. You'll have company, since it's the main supply and smuggling route into the rest of Bretonia for the Outcasts and Gaians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132661: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Claire Atkyns (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gregory Lewis (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I love this place -- nice scenery, gambling to your heart's content, Food like I've never tasted before. They let you eat all you want -- go figure. This is nothing like my days growing up in Leeds. Joining the Guild was definitely a good thing for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132662: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Claire Atkyns (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gregory Lewis (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I just made a run into the Arran Ice Cloud. That's Outcast country out there. They make their Cardamine runs into Bretonia through a Jump Hole somewhere in there. They don't mess around, so you'd better be prepared. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131857: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) This station's proximity to Ft. Bush and the Trade Lanes that feed her make this area dangerous for the shipping companies that bring in supplies used to build the ships and machinery churned out by this station. That's one of the reasons why the Bounty Hunters maintain a presence here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131860: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) The Junkers in this area will try to steal machinery and components left unguarded. They aren't too dangerous unless you tangle with several of them in some lonely space with no witnesses around. They will kill you without a thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131859: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) Xenos don't really come this far east into the system from the Jersey Debris Fields, but they will harass the Kusari Rheinland and Bretonian firms coming to this base via Trade Lanes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131861: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) I killed four Rogues trying to escape into the Pittsburgh Fields last week. They almost made it, but I blew out the engines on one of their ships, and the other three came back to tried and save him. They must have been high on Cardamine the way they were flying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131858: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) The Rogues in the area seem to know which ships are bringing the Gold into this base. They must be getting the information from the Lane Hackers. Whenever Gateway ships Jump into the system, some of us are contracted to escort them into this base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131862: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dalton Wilson (at Foster Base in Cassini) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Simone Cannon (at Foster Base in Cassini) Kishiro put up some contracts for us Bounty Hunters to exterminate the Rogues who were attacking their shipments on the Trade Lanes. Here is something to think about: We are to engage and destroy all Xenos that we encounter, unless they're attacking Samura shipments, in which case we are to break off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131308: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) When I got out off the Wall I didn't have many choices ahead of me, at least no appealing choices. I knew I didn't want to go back to making clothes on the Huntsville. I also knew I didn't like most of the scum I did time with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131307: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) I'm one of the few guys who'll go into the heart of the Badlands, but I've gotten to know the space pretty well. I've got my hiding places and ambush points, and I can read the Rogue activity pretty well. I also stay clear of the Outcasts. That's why I'm still alive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131306: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) Being a Bounty Hunter is a tough job; nobody likes you and a lot of guys would enjoy killing you. But, that's why I like it. Bounty Hunters don't really operate like they used to. There was a time when we were paid to bring criminals in -- now we are paid to make criminals disappear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131304: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) Most of the Hunters in our guild are Hunters because this is what they want to do -- at least the good ones are like that. I like working on my own terms and not answering to anybody. That's my style -- no bosses. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131305: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Del Antaar (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) The Outcasts are using the Rogues. The Outcasts smuggle their Cardamine into the Rogue base in the Badlands, and then the Rogues and Junkers get it planetside. Most of the Rogues I've brought in were strung out on the Cardamine, so I'm guessing the Outcasts are the ones with their hands on the throttle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132245: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) IC pays the best of all. You better be good, but they'll reward you well if you can get the job done. The Bretonian government is broke -- too much terraforming is my guess. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132246: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) IC doesn't care much about what happens off of Trade Lanes or Jump Gates. That's why Junkers and Hogosha never really register on their radar. IC doesn't see the obvious role the Junkers play in supplying and harboring criminals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132242: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) The Corsairs are pretty occupied with the Red Hessians in Omega-2 right now. That's a good thing for Bretonia. If the Corsairs didn't have to devote all those ships and manpower to protect their right flank against the Rheinlanders, there would be some serious pillaging going on in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132241: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) IC thinks we're scum, but they need us. They never set foot outside their sanitized offices. Wouldn't last a second out where they send us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132243: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) I just got back from enforcing a little IC directive in Leeds. Some Gaians were hitting the Trade Lane to the Edinburgh Gate a little too readily. Planetform lost two convoys in a row, so they sent us up to take care of business. We can't rely on those polite Bretonia police types. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132244: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dirk Robinson (at Waterloo Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Stone (at Waterloo Station in New London) I've been on the Outcast trail for a couple of months on deep recon for IC. We've mapped it all the way from Edinburgh to New London. Next month Operation Hailstorm commences -- loads of Bounty Hunters, Bretonian military, and police going to clear out the Outcasts from Bretonia for good. Me, I'm a bit skeptical. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132409: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) Tau-31 is a productive area for us. The Gaians hang out near Harris, if that's what you fancy. For the more advanced Hunter, the Outcasts offer plenty of challenge in the northern part of the system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132408: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) The Mollys come into this system from New London. The Guild figures the southern Jump Hole is hidden somewhere in the two smog clouds. All the Leeds criminals use those clouds for attacks and cover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132411: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) Planetform hired me to kill Gaians a few months ago, so that's what I do. They aren't the best pilots around, though some of them know a few moves. They come out of the Edinburgh Jump Hole in the northwest end of the system, headed for the West Leeds Smog Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132406: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) The military personnel on this ship are always looking down their noses at us Bounty Hunters, but the truth is that if they could do their job well enough, BMM wouldn't be forced to hire us to do what the military can't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132410: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) I heard there's some big bounties offered by BMM at their mining base in Tau-23. I guess the Outcasts have been sockin' it to 'em up there. They bit more off than they could chew on that one, they did. That's practically Edge World. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132407: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Douglas Webb (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Anne Sullivan (at Battleship York in Leeds) The reason the Outcasts are in this area is because of the Jump Hole to the west of the radiation zone in the LD-14 field. The Hole goes to Edinburgh, which is where the Cardamine comes from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133638: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) BMM and Daumann have a pretty serious rivalry in this system. I'm looking forward to some real hostility getting started between the two of em. Some of my buddies I served with on the Newgate are coming here to work for BMM harassing Daumann. They aren't in the Guild, so they can do that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133637: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) The Hessians and Corsairs are fighting a bloody war down south of here in Omega-5. They are battling for control of the Border Worlds between Rheinland and Bretonia. The Hessians are expanding -- and that brings them into the Corsairs' Artifact shipping routes to Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133639: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) Bowex pays me to protect their shipping convoys at Freeport 1. I also get paid by BMM. That ain't completely allowed according to Guild bylaws, but I ain't just in it for the Guild. I'm here to make money. Besides, who cares if I split my time? Either way, I'm saving lives. That makes me a good person. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133636: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Douglas Station in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Ewan Draper (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jane Reeve (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) All the garbage comes pouring out of the Jump Hole in the Coombe Field. If you patrol that area, you will encounter both Corsairs and Hessians. It's a rough and tumble area; they kill each other a lot down below. The ones that survive make their way to the Lanes and attack shipping convoys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131881: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) Just made a circuit of the Sierra Field. We like to troll for Rogues close to the Trade Lane to Mojave. They like to hang out there at the edge of the field, waiting for ships to come along. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131887: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) We know there's a Rogue asteroid base in the Whitney Field. Problem is getting close enough to nail someone without disturbing the hornets' nest. Believe me, you'll know if you did. There's Outcasts around, too, so ya gotta be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131885: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) I'm new to the system. Got tired of New York. Only way to move up there in the Guild is to head into the Badlands. Nasty, that dark cloud is. I prefer open asteroid fields, personally. I think I'll head out to the Whitney Field for a look. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131886: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Max Fightmaster (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Caroline Platz (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) I'm heading off to Cortez. I hear there's Rogues as far as the eye can see out there. A big group of ex-LPI guys is based at that resort Curacao -- keep asking me to join them. They expect to cash out pretty quick, although two of them already bit it. Definitely some risk involved. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131883: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Max Fightmaster (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Caroline Platz (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) Bagged me a trophy Outcast the other day just inside the Tahoe Cloud to the west of the San Diego Lane. Just an escort for a smuggler, but still a pretty good bounty. Drinks are on me tonight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131882: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) We know there's a Rogue asteroid base in the Whitney Field. Problem is getting close enough to nail someone without disturbing the hornets' nest. Believe me, you'll know if you did. There's Outcasts around too. So ya gotta be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131884: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Fred Rigg (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ellen Hammond (at Planet Los Angeles in California) It's hard to get to, but there's a Jump Hole to Texas pretty close to the Rogue base. Tough to hang out there for long; Rogues and Outcasts will swarm you pretty quick. Only the gutsy guys risk it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132019: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) I used to be a BMM miner in the Somerset when I was a young bloke. Then they shut us down for good 'bout 10 years back. Some of us went to the Mollys and IMG; I joined up with the Hunters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132018: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) I've been chasing Mollys in Dublin for a while. Thought I'd move up and try me some Corsairs. They're pretty easy to find in the Somerset Field. Just watch out for those gas pockets left over from the old mining days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132016: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) The Bounty Hunters in Bretonia are different lot than those in Liberty. Some of us are former Bowex pilots; a few are former BMM types. Only a few are from the police. Me, I came from the IMG. I was gettin' bored chipping rock all day. I knew the Jump Hole network okay, and I could deal with an Outcast or Corsair. It was a natural fit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132014: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) I almost caught a Corsair in the Cornwall Field yesterday. They've been gettin' real aggressive lately -- walkin' all over that Police Authority, they are. The government called us in as backup until they get up to speed on those Border World pirates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132017: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) The Corsairs run their Artifacts from the Somerset up to Devon, then across to the Junker base of Trafalgar. Then they start to pillage. That's where I come in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132015: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Geoffrey Castle (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Roberta Cushing (at Planet New London in New London) I heard those Corsairs found a Hole to Cambridge in the Somerset that nobody even knew existed. That's when all the trouble started in London. Before that, the Corsairs weren't that bad in Cambridge. Nothing much that interested them there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132448: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) If you choose the life of a Bounty Hunter, you should know that you'll never win any popularity contests. The crooks hate you cuz you make a living of putting them in the past tense. The police and military envy you because you can take on the jobs they can't always do. The corporations dislike you because you don't follow the rules, and other Bounty Hunters might not like you because you are their competition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132450: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) The Edinburgh Jump Hole is a dangerous place to hang out. It's in the LD-14 field, and all manner of thieves and killers pass through that area. Not only that, it is just slightly west of a pocket of radiation in the field, so an inexperienced pilot might get cooked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132445: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) The military and the police might have their orders concerning which targets are the highest priority, but I don't see it that way. Planetform will pay me a lot more for a dead Gaian than a Molly, so I kill Gaians -- they are easy pickings. If I wanted a challenge I'd square off with some Mollys. BMM will pay you well to take them down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132446: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) I'm not bound by jurisdiction, so if a company puts a contract out on you, I'm going to hunt you down. And when I find you I'm gonna kill you, because that's how I put food on the table for my son. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132447: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) I'm a Leedite, born and raised here in Leeds, son of a Uranium miner. Did a turn in prison too, but that's all behind me now. I know where the Jump Holes are in this system. I learned about them in Newgate. You can get to Manchester under wraps in the East Leeds, New London through the West Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132449: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Gillian Hasler (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wolfe Palmers (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) If I'm hired to pop Gaians, I'll head for the Edinburgh Jump Hole. If the contract reads for Mollys, I'm gonna head for the New London or Manchester Holes -- most likely the New London Hole. That's really where the majority of 'em come from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133888: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) Republican pays most of the bounties around here. That means we hunt down Unioners. The only reason to chase a Junker is a chance at some contraband. We don't get paid enough by the military to bother that much with the Bundschuh. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133886: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) I'm from Texas. You get lots of sun and wind there. Beautiful in a stark sort of way. This place is too cold and gray. Then there's that frosty disposition of the Rheinlanders. They aren't the friendliest of folks, especially toward the Guild. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133887: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) Hamburg's a good place to be based. It's a criminal crossroads of sorts, because of the nature of the Jump Hole network in Rheinland. You can find plentiful work without having to go into the heart of the Walker Nebula. Those clouds can change the odds quite a bit, usually in the bad guy's favor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133890: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) Vierlande doesn't produce that many ex-cons who could become Bounty Hunters, for the simple reason that most sentences are for life. Personally, sounds a little harsh to me. They don't even put them to work, like the LPI. It's a pretty grim place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133891: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) It's not real exciting work around here; chasing down Unioners and the odd Bundschuh for the most part. If it's excitement you're looking for, go to Omega-11. I'd buy me a pretty strong shield, though. The sun's gone red giant, going to go planetary nova pretty soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133889: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Hilde Stirn (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Axel Von Lahr (at Planet Hamburg in Hamburg) There's a Hole into Frankfurt in the Alsterfeld. That's where you'll see Junkers running contraband and the odd Bundschuh raiding party headed for the Westfalen. And there are always plenty of Unioners to keep you company. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132236: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) Beware of the Cumbria Gas Pocket; it can put some holes in your shield pretty quick. It's easy to avoid, except when you've got Mollys or Corsairs breathing down your neck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132232: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) I've seen some pretty good action off the Suffolk. Just head into the Cumbria Field. It's got your Mollys and Corsairs -- they get straight to business. And I thought New London would be a snoozer post. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132235: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Steel (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Frances Kiefer (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) They brought me in from Freeport 1. I'm a Corsair specialist -- been out in the Omega systems for a couple of years. This species of Corsair is nothing like what's out there. Heaven help 'em if those bastards make it into Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132234: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Frances Kiefer (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) The Armed Forces is having problems with Corsairs down here. It's spreadin' like the plague. Corsairs don't care much for anything but Gold in this area but, seeing as that's the only product of Dublin, we've got a serious problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132233: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Steel (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) There's a Jump Hole into Dublin from the Cumbria. The military would love to know about it, but hey, us Bounty Hunters have to make a livin' now, don't we? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132237: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Frances Kiefer (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jack Coltan (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Ridge (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) All this talk about Mollys bombing London is just that, talk. It's a bunch of hot air pumped up by BMM. I've heard they're bribing the government and the media to keep the Mollys on the defensive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134058: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) I can sympathize with the LWB, I'm a Rheinlander. I don't like those Synth Foods Liberty vultures coming here and despoiling the most beautiful planet in our space, but it comes down to the money. The fools in New Berlin sold Stuttgart away fighting the GMG, and I sold my allegiance to who had the most cash. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134056: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) Where there's LWB you are probably going to find Red Hessians nearby. Those two groups seem to get along pretty well, of course the Hessians are far more dangerous. Though, the LWB pilots are becoming better and better pilots, don't forget they all used to be simple farmers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134054: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) The LWB base is located near the Jump Hole to Dresden. Do you know where that is? Aye, it's in the Ostnebel. The LWB conduct operations from that are. Mostly they run attacks on the lanes between here and the New Berlin Jump Gate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134053: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) I was hired by Synth Foods to protect them against LWB terrorist attacks. Unexplained fires still sweep across the fields here from time to time. We are paid to make the arsonists sorry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134057: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) The Red Hessians come into this system through the Jump Hole leading to Omega 11. The hole is tucked away in the southern side of the Westnebel. Hessians use this system to get to Dresden and for resupply at the LWB base on the eastern side of Stuttgart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134055: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Janet Thompson (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Franklin Wallace (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) I came here once as a child; it was a lush and green planet with a warm golden sun. This is not like it was; the rolling green fields and prismatic growing tents that dotted the horizons are gone. Look as far as you can see in any direction and only the gray Synth Foods plants are seen spilling their way to the edges of the land. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134317: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Perry Crawford (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) Kelly Nielson was one of the top female Bounty Hunters in the Guild, always trying to prove herself to the guys. Because of this, she tended to take more extreme risks than most. After one of her flights in the Viking deep into the Outcast home system, she told of a mysterious debris field. Later, she returned and brought back a piece of metal that she claimed belonged to the long lost Hispania. Eventually her luck ran out. The ship is most likely floating somewhere in Omicron Alpha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134307: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Wayne Adams (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Toby Smith (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) Jessica Stephenson was a former Bretonia Police Authority prison guard who yearned for a more exciting life outside of the walls of Newgate. A quick study, she joined the Bounty Hunters Guild and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually taking on the most challenging assignments the Guild had to offer in the Edge Worlds. She was based out of Freeport 10, which is a risky post for a Hunter given the dominating presence of the Outcasts in the area. It is said that they laid a trap for her in the Bermejo Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133131: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) The IMG base is somewhere in the Malvinas Cloud. That's the area I'm supposed to hang out in when I'm not here refitting and refueling. I don't envy those miners. If the Outcasts figure out where the base is, there are going to be lots of dead miners floating around. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133132: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) BMM hired me to kill Outcasts. I'm glad I'm not a company man; they're pretty dirty. They paid me extra to use an IMG identifier on my ship. That way it will look like IMG is attacking them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133133: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) Every once in a while I can find a little Cardamine among the debris of the Outcast ships I destroy. That's why I hunt them and not Corsairs. They pay about the same, but killing the mask breathers has perks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133134: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) The Bermejo Cloud hides the Jump Hole that leads to the Outcast home world. There are a few Bounty Hunters that will go into Omicron Alpha, but I'm not one of them. What good is money if you aren't alive to spend it? In there it's a different game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133135: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) If you want to know the best place to hide in Omicron Alpha, it's in the wreckage of the Hispania. That's the ship the Outcasts came to Sirius in. They've pulled most of the salvage out of there, but you can still find stuff. You didn't know this old Bounty Hunter was educated, did you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133136: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jared Darcy (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sarah Reed (at Freeport 10 in Tau-37) I used to hunt in Omicron Alpha. Stay on the northern and southern edges of the system to avoid trouble. Move to the fringes of more populated areas and hit the stragglers. If more than a few of them spot you, get out of there fast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525286: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Hicks (at South Shields Refinery in Newcastle) .We sometimes patrol the Galloway ice cloud, but in recent years it has become increasingly dangerous, as more and more Outcasts have flooded into the area. We believe they may have built a base somewhere in the field, though we don't know where -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133917: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Westphalia in Bremen) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Westphalia in Bremen) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) Just came back from Hudson. We were cruising for baddies in the gap between the Wrangell and Kenai Fields. Ran right into a little skirmish going on between the local thugs. I got me two Xenos and a Rogue. Buy you a drink? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133916: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Koblenz in Frankfurt) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Regensburg in Munich) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Schwerin in Omega-15) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Meerbusch Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Recklinghausen Base in Omega-55) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Hirschfield Base in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Battleship Westphalia in Bremen) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Battleship Westphalia in Bremen) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jennifer Swift (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Craig Walton (at Bottrop Depot in Omega-58) Some of the Hunters use this as a base for journeys into Hudson. Most of the bounties up there are for Xenos and Rogues.

No safe havens, not even any military in the Rheinland part of the system. Liberty Navy's putting a lot of pressure on them, but they can't do much about it. You can see why.

They don't pay us too much, though. But they have good, long-range scanners and a strategic position in this area, so it's worthwhile for us.

They're the lucky ones who got out of Vierlande before their sentences were up. One guy had some story about some neutron star in Omega-41.

I followed him back from Bretonia. Once I bag the scum I won't have to take another job for months.

I run my patrols up from the Tau-31 Jump Hole to the Northern Oxygen Field, and then I head southeast into the Nago field and back down to Freeport 6. Along that route I usually encounter a good share of the mask breathers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132714: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) This base is where I refit and resupply. It is a long and dangerous trip here. I've been hunting an Outcast by the name of Santiago Llorens. He torched my partner and good friend back in Cortez. There's another Bounty Hunter here trying to catch him too, but I'm going to get to Santiago first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132715: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) After I'm done refueling my ship here, I'm going to go all the way up into Outcast space. I've been sneaking farther and farther into their territory every trip I make up here looking for a good ambush point. I think I found the spot I was looking for on my last run. If this plan works, I will be able to retire to California in less than a year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132716: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) All the Cardamine that leaves Outcast space comes through here. Cryer Pharmaceuticals has hired me to try and capture a live Outcast with all his gear, including his mask and his Cardamine shipment. I don't usually bring guys back alive, so I'm charging them double. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132713: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Freeport 6 in Tau-29) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Lanzarote Base in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jesse Lloyd (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Darla Owens (at Sparta Station in Omicron-74) This is the place to be if you are hunting Outcasts. There is a Jump Hole to the north side of this system's oxygen field that leads to Tau-23. In Tau-23 you had better be sneaky, or have a posse with you, because the Outcasts are very strong there -- whole squadrons of them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134184: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) If Daumann didn't pay me so much for dead Hessians, I would go looking for other types to bring down. But since I know where they operate and how they fly, and since they pay the most, it is an easy choice. The hard part is killing them; they don't die easily and there are always more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134182: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) The LWB are not a huge presence in this system. They are more concerned with keeping supplies running between the Hessian base here and their base in Stuttgart. This system is also their transit point to New Berlin. If you are looking for them, do your hunting in the Giftnebel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134181: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) In the Lavafeld you will find a Jump Hole to Omega-11; that is where the Red Hessians enter and exit this system for the western Border Worlds. If you are looking for them, and you want to pop them with Diamonds in their holds, then that is where you go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134185: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) I like to hang out in the Daumann Lavafeld. I know that there are always going to be Hessian attacks there. And the executives like to see you make your kills near the base they are paying you to protect. Just hang out in the sulfur a bit, Red Hessians will fly right under your nose. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134183: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) This is the backbone of Daumann's mining concerns, so of course you will find a Red Hessian base here in Dresden. Look in the Giftnebel, you will encounter it, along with Jump Holes that lead to New Berlin and Stuttgart. If you go there, I hope that you are a good pilot and not afraid to go up against multiple targets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134186: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Chad Ewing (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) My old man was a Red Hessian. He was the one who taught me all their Jump Hole networks, and when to hit them when they were carrying Diamonds. He left the Red Hessians because they were changing. My father wasn't a pirate; he was a Daumann political opponent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134350: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jill Dunn (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Kruger Minerals] Kruger Minerals/ Konrad Ratzenberger (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Kruger Minerals] Kruger Minerals/Rep. Maik Soller (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Kruger Minerals] Kruger Minerals/ Morris Burghardt (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) The Danzig is a long lost Kruger freighter that strayed into the Giftnebel in 450 while returning from the Diamond fields. The cloud's hostile conditions prevented any thorough search. Pieces of debris have been spotted drifting occasionally within the area, but no one has been able to determine if they are the remains of the Danzig. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133676: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) If you are looking to go into Omega-5, use the Jump Hole on the far west side of the system. It's just south of a large gas pocket below the Trade Lanes. Be very careful; Omega-5 is a meat grinder no matter how good you are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133677: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) I can kill Corsairs or Hessians and get paid by whoever I want. They attack everyone who has a base here or passes through, except the IMG. Corsairs generally keep to the western side, but when they come up against Hessians you are going to see a fight -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133675: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kelly Dorsey (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) There are two Jump Holes in this system. One leads to Omega-11, which is pretty much dominated by the Hessians. That Hole is located in the Furstenfelde. Look southwest of the Daumann base in there and you should stumble across it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131808: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) This is one of the better bases to overhear a conversation or get an idea of what is being shipped where in Liberty space. Ft. Bush is truly the crossroads of the Sirius Sector, even more so than Manhattan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131807: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) This base's close proximity to the Pittsburgh Debris Fields, coupled with the amount of traffic that comes through here, makes this an irresistible target for Rogues and the like. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131806: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) LPI has to worry about bringing pirates, smugglers, and thieves in to be tried and sent to one of their toy factories. All I have to do is kill 'em. That's why Bounty Hunters help get the job done when LPI fails. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131803: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) The Xenos cause some trouble for the Rheinland and Kusari shipping that comes in and flies out of this base. They've put contracts out on some of them in this area. The best part is that some Liberty firms have been paying me to let Xenos go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131805: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) The Rogues that fly this area are a pretty disorganized lot. Most of them feel the prison ships in Texas are like second homes. I prefer to offer them permanent housing in a chunk of space debris that was their imploded ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131804: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kirk Jones (at Fort Bush in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Rachel Singer (at Fort Bush in New York) This place makes me a lot of money, and I don't have to go far to earn it. If I go out along the Trade Lanes or into the Pittsburgh Debris Fields, I'm bound to come across some Rogues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134319: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Ibrahim Piniones (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Ibrahim Piniones (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brooke Carter (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Gina Utaki (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Alicia Kinsey (at Philadelphia Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Hiroko Utaki (at Philadelphia Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lisa Snowdon (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Ai Suzuki (at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania) "Lucky" Logan Conner was one tough nut, as anyone will tell you. He would take on an entire patrol of Corsairs, picking them off one by one. Based out of Freeport 5 to be close to his favorite prey, he liked living life on the ragged edge. His luck finally ran out in 780, when he ventured too far from the safety of the Gredos Cloud in the Corsairs home territory of Omicron Gamma. A mass of Corsairs pursued him back into the nebula. It was rumored that they didn't actually dispose of Conner on the spot, but merely disabled his ship and let him die a slow death by asphyxiation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133180: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) I specialize in killing Corsairs. If you want one dead I can do it for you, but its going to cost you. It's a family business, really. My father was killing these heartless cretins before me. It's not easy; these guys are incredible pilots with excellent ships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133183: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) I'm following a couple of Corsairs back from Dublin, where they stole a shipment of Gold. The bounty on these two guys will put me on easy street for months. Once I'm done refueling and resupplying I'm headed into Omicron Gamma. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133182: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) The trick to killing Corsairs is catching them off guard. Go into their home system, find a spot to hide, and ambush one or two as they cross in front of you. Once you've made your kills get out of there, because more are probably coming. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133181: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) Obviously you have the skills required to survive if you have come to the edges of Sirius. As a Guild instructor I train newbie Bounty Hunters the skills that you and I already have. The first thing I teach them is that becoming a good pilot is a gradual process. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133185: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) This is my first time in this part of Sirius. I couldn't believe it when I saw my old instructor here. He told me that knowing the Jump Holes to this system didn't mean I was ready for them yet. I'm not going home like he said I should I'm good enough for these Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133184: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Liz Becker (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Jim York (at Sedona Station in Baffin) The trick to killing Corsairs is taking them head on. They aren't used to someone getting in their face and fighting them squarely; it throws them off balance. Then you have the advantage. I know. I've killed two Corsairs already. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131431: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) Fighting an Outcast is like fighting a Corsair: they're both armed to the teeth, mean as hell, and can pilot a ship as well as anyone you're gonna find. That's why it's best to take them on with two-to-one or better odds. And if the guy you're flying with gets popped, that means more money for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131430: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) The Junkers are a crafty bunch of scumbags; they know the dirt on everybody -- and they're willing to talk if the price is right. It's not my money that pays 'em off. That's part of my bill for offing my mark. Give me a little bribe, some gas money, and a reward for completion of assignment, and I'll smoke anyone you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131428: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) If I were one of these stuck-up navy captains, I'd just roll the Missouri right into the middle of the Badlands and start cleaning house. They say it's impossible logistically, but that's a politician's word. Just go in there and kill them -- it's that simple. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131426: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) I've killed Red Hessians in Rheinland; Rogues, Lane Hackers, and Outcasts in Liberty; Mollys in Bretonia; Hogosha and Blood Dragons in Kusari; I've even bagged a few Corsairs. But I've never brought any of 'em in. Bounty Hunters aren't paid to capture criminals; we're paid to kill them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131429: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) There's no way I'd ever wear a uniform or salute some stuck-up jerk every time he walked by just because he has a few more pieces of metal on his chest. Bounty Hunters have to work harder because we don't have a fleet behind us. But if you need someone dealt with, we do the job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131427: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Logan Glock (at West Point Military Academy in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Zach Dowell (at West Point Military Academy in New York) The navy doesn't get it; you can't just patrol for the criminals. Sure, that helps, but if you want to solve the problem you have to seek them out -- hunt them at their lair. And once you're there, you kill them all, every single one. That's how you solve the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525671: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Max Fightmaster (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .You should have seen that fight I was in earlier! Two Xenos tried to intercept me near the Texas jump hole and I had to bank so hard that I nearly slammed into an asteroid. I just managed to dodge it, but the Xeno tailing me wasn't so lucky. Then the second Xeno slipped into my sights and bam! I took it out with several well-placed shots from my Buckshots. That'll be another 60,000 credits in my pocket for those two. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525670: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Max Fightmaster (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .Yeah, I bagged me three Xenos earlier! Whoo! The Guild gets paid 40,000 credits by Liberty for every Xeno it takes out, and I get paid half of that. Then, I can send the kill records to Ageira for another 10,000 credits each. If I manage to take a Xeno captive, I can sell him to the LPI for 10,000! Not a bad job at all, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525672: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Max Fightmaster (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .Huh, you wanna know about my name? My parents had a real sense of humour, I guess. I love it though! You don't even want to know my middle name, although it begins with F. Apparently the surname goes all the way back to a nation called the United Kingdom on Old Earth, and my surname apparently got voted the manliest name on the planet! How cool is that? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132266: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) I just got back from Edinburgh. It's pretty messy up there. The Gaians have more cover and seem to be more organized than everyone else here. I don't get why they think that stupid planet is so important. I say us Bretonians should be able to assert our rights and live where we want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132265: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) Planetform seems to have loads of money to pay us for hunting down those Gaians. They must get it from the government. It's no problem with me. I'll just keep poppin' them as long as they want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132263: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) The Gaians don't know what to make of those real criminals, the Corsairs. I think all those Cambridge University grads are scared to death of the Border World bad guys. That's not what they signed up for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132262: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) They've got me here chasing Gaians up in the Devon field. It's not very complicated work. Those Gaians are a little green -- pardon my pun -- when it comes to tactics and combat. They got lots of spunk, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132267: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) No Jump Holes in the Devon field -- makes it a little bit quiet. The Somerset is another story. It's swarming with Corsairs, that is. They run the Artifacts across to Trafalgar from the Cambridge Hole, and then they start hittin' the ships that wander into their range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132264: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mike Dorn (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brenda Crusher (at Canterbury Station in New London) We're heading out to the Somerset to hunt some Corsairs. It's real bad down there. Ya don't want to go in alone or your kin will be gettin' a little notice from the Guild offering their condolences. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133796: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) There's good business for the Guild down in Dresden. Daumann and Kruger are both looking for Bounty Hunters to guard their operations. Kruger is the better one because you can always go Diamond mining when no one is looking. You'll earn your keep, though. Plenty of Hessians to go around in Dresden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133798: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) This sure beats the police. I hadn't been paid in two months. The rest of my post had turned to "Trade Lane tolls" that they forced passing ships to pay. Berlin got wind of it and sent the lot of them to Vierlande to discourage others sharing the same thought. I decided to change professions and try to earn some legitimate money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133793: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) The Guild has been in Rheinland since IC was allowed to establish this station in 730. Many of the early members here were Liberty transplants. That didn't sit too well with the locals. The typical recruit nowadays is more likely to be an unpaid Rheinland Federal Police officer or a reformed Red Hessian just out of Vierlande. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133797: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) Beware of the radioactive areas in the Ruhr. They're up in the mid-section, north of the Junker Debris pocket. The Ruhr used to be Rheinland's center of uranium mining and processing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133794: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) If you want a real challenge, head out to Solarius in Omega-11. Daumann needs Bounty Hunters to help them with basic security. It's a rough post, but you can go Diamond mining while you're out looking for Hessians and Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133795: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Mitch Murphy (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Carrie Owen (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) There's a simple reason that the main areas of criminal activity in Berlin are in the Ruhrfeld and Saarfeld: That's where the Jump Holes are. The Hamburg Hole is in the northern part of the Ruhr; the Saar Hole leads to Dresden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132495: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) We do a daily run down to the Skye Field. The Gaians like to hang out there, waiting for Planetform to stick their heads out. If we haven't been chasing the Gaians hard enough. Planetform sometimes gives us better bounties as a temporary incentive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132494: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) Those Gaians are a stubborn lot. I had me one on his knees -- a flaming wreck, weapons gone. He tried to ram me, so I had to finish him off. I guess he knew what was waiting for him in Newgate. All those working-class blokes in there fancy a little upper-crust Cambridge companionship on occasion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132492: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) London doesn't give us much for a Gaian bounty. Outcasts, on the other hand -- they'll keep you in business. This is their main access route to the inner systems of Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132497: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) The Guild has members in almost every system of Sirius. Once you get off the Trade Lanes, we're it as far as law and order goes, though some types might take offense to that. They would say that we're the problem. Don't matter to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132493: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) The Jump Hole in the Islay Cloud is a pretty rough place to hang out. If you're quick, you can catch a few Outcasts unaware, before they have a chance to respond. On the other hand, the Gaians will really swarm you since it's so close to their base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132496: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Neve Stepheson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Lucas Moriarty (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) The reason that Edinburgh is so important? There's no Jump Hole from Tau-31 to Leeds. Outcasts and Gaians have to come through here to get to the Border Worlds. There's lots of cover in the clouds here. The only point of vulnerability is the crossing north of the cruise ship. You just sit there, and eventually an Outcast is bound to turn up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134298: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Patrick Currie (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Ken Pardue (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) During the Freeport 7 attack, a brief communication was received on Freeport 9 from a Bounty Hunter named Jim Adams. He had managed to make it into the Kunashir Cloud, but still had hostiles in hot pursuit. Most people figure he was trying to make it to the Jump Hole to Omicron Theta. He never made it here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132764: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Patrick Currie (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) This system separates northern Sirius from southern Sirius in the eastern Border Worlds. If you want to go south, you can hit the Omicron Theta Jump Hole in the Kunashir Cloud. If you travel west from the base you will come across another Jump Hole to Sigma-13. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132763: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Patrick Currie (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) I was able to capture an Outcast in Omicron Beta a few months ago. First, I disabled his ship and hit it with a pulse beam to knock out the people inside. It's an old Bounty Hunter weapon that's available to Guild members only. Once he was unconscious I suited up and went space walking. That was it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132762: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Patrick Currie (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) Sometimes the Outcasts and Corsairs will run into each other. When that happens you better watch out because it is going to get bloody. It's impressive to watch two skilled opponents fight each other to the death. It occurs occasionally in this system -- more often in Sigma 19. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132088: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) I've seen the Jump Hole in this system that leads to California. It is in the West Dallas Debris Field, just north of the radiation pocket. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132086: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) IC pays me well to protect their interests in Texas. They don't have any people or offices here, but this is a very important system for them. The majority of the crime that goes on in Liberty goes on right here in this system. And since most of the stolen cargo is insured by IC& well, you get the idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132085: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) The radiation pocket in the center of the West Dallas Debris Field will fry your ship quick. One of my favorite things to do is chase the scumbags I'm following into that area, and then I let the radiation do my work for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132083: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) This system is a Bounty Hunter's dream. Point your ship in a direction, start flying, and sooner or later you're going to run into somebody who is wanted for a bounty -- especially on the west side of the system. West Texas is a dangerous cesspool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132084: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) I like to patrol out by the Negra Pequena and the North Dallas Debris Field. You can find Rogues, Outcasts, Xenos, and Junkers in that area. There is a Jump Hole around there that leads to New York, I believe. Somehow a lot of the criminals find their way into this system from California in that general area, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132087: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Pauline Saab (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) I believe that an Outcast would rather die than go to prison. I don't know of any currently at this facility. I think that any Outcasts who do happen to get captured go to the Sugarland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132609: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) There is a Jump Hole to New London in this system. That's how all the Molly Gold gets out of Dublin. It is located in the Independent Gold Field. That's where I lie in wait to ambush Molly Gold runners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132612: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) The mine field surrounding the Molly Gold field has dissuaded the military from sending any of its larger ships into the field. The smaller patrols are pretty hesitant to enter as well, but that doesn't stop me from going in. I kill Mollys for a living, so that's where I go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132611: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) Bowex has hired me to kill Corsairs in this system. Those trouble makers attack Bowex, IMG, and BMM in the open, and the Mollys near the Jump Hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132610: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) The Corsairs will fight anyone; they have no fear. I guess they don't have much reason to be too afraid of anyone. If you don't respect them, you are either stupid or dead. They attack all of the Gold transport routes out of the system. Indiscriminate, those Corsairs are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132607: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) Corsairs enter this system from the Jump Hole to New London. They are attracted by all the Gold that gets mined here, and they know it is the most lawless of all the Bretonian system -- the police don't even come into this system, it is just the military and us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132608: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Morris (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Marion Godfrey (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) The Mollys are tough, but GS&M pays big money for every one I kill. The Mollys have pretty much fought the Bretonian military to a standstill in this system, using guerrilla style hit-and-run tactics, so GS&M hires us to kill 'em off one by one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131507: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) There's plenty of work for us Bounty Hunters in this part of the Barrier. Between the Rogues in the Weddell field and the Lane Hackers and Outcasts in the Barrier Cloud, it's a non-stop hunting party. Gotta watch out for those Outcasts, though -- I've lost more than a few buddies to those lowlifes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131512: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) It's pretty frustrating not being able to just take out my Detroit Executioner and waste the Lane Hackers and Rogues that come into this bar. It'd certainly be easier than chasing them down in space. Guess that's the downside of Freeports. The IMG folks running the place are okay, but not real friendly. Got that Bretonian superiority attitude going or something. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131510: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) We run patrols throughout the system. Most of the bounties are put up by IC and Ageira, who seem to really hate the Lane Hackers' guts. You get a lot less for a Rogue, but they're easier to find and take out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131508: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) There's a couple of Jump Holes in this system -- the one to Cortez in the northern part of the system is easier to find. If you wait patiently enough, you can pop a Rogue or two as they come through; they won't even know what hit them. If you see an Outcast, you better have some support, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131509: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) I don't get why everyone hates us so much. We're providing a service to society, cleaning up all the criminal dregs, and making the Trade Lanes and Jump Gates safer for commerce. It's not an easy life, living out in these hellhole Freeports at the edge of nowhere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131511: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Phil Spencer (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Abigail Hartman (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) If you want to find Rogues, just pop through the Cortez Hole. You'll find them in abundance over there. I think their base is pretty close to the Hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132105: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) The prisons here are revolving doors for the criminals. That is why if you want to get rid of crime, you have to kill the criminals. I don't know where you come down on the rehabilitation issue, but I think it's just a phony word used by politicians and corporate spin wizards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132104: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) The Texas system at one time was just wide open space with a couple planets. All the crap you see in this system -- the dark matter clouds, the debris fields with the radiation -- it is all Ageira's fault. It all happened in one fateful day centuries ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132108: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Labrie (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dan Carter (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) I don't like hanging around this base, but I can put my ear to the ground and hear where the navy is encountering criminals nearby. That way I can use my sources and the navy's sources to track down the scum I'm hired to kill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132109: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Labrie (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dan Carter (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) I actually spent some time on the Huntsville a few years back, but I'm one of the smart ones. It is a downward spiral to stay in the crime business in Texas; sooner or later you're going to get a life sentence or you're going to get killed. I've never heard of a Rogue or Xeno retiring rich. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132106: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) If you're looking for Xenos, I recommend you check out the South Dallas Debris Field here in the southern edge of the system, hidden away. It's rumored that there's a Jump Hole leading to Hudson. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132107: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Bass (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Robert Labrie (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dan Carter (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) I used to live planetside on Houston. They're always going through some drought. Worked in the phosphate Fertilizer plant for a while as a supervisor for the LPI, then I switched to Consumer Goods. Let me tell you, I wouldn't buy any of that junk they produce in there. So here I am with the Guild, where I belong. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132648: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Jump Hole to New London is in the south side of the Independent Gold Field just to the north of this ship. That is also the main entry point for the Corsairs who come raiding for Gold. The Corsairs will attack corporate and separatist shipments alike; they don't care who they piss off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132646: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Corsairs are one of the fiercest criminal groups in Sirius space, rivaled only by the Red Hessians in Rheinland and the Outcasts of the Northern Edge Worlds. The Corsairs are usually found in the Southern Edge Worlds and Rheinland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132647: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) A Molly's natural environment is an asteroid field, so that is where you have to look for them. They use all the asteroid fields in this system for cover, except the GS&M field. That's not to say they don't go into that field, too, but they aren't looking for cover there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132645: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) Whenever the Mollys make an attack, the corporations that pay my Paste ticket expect me to bring back some heads. I have to go searching for the Mollys in their own territory -- the asteroid fields. This is where the Mollys are most dangerous. Remember, they are miners, so they know the asteroids better than anyone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132644: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The dragnet that the military creates to stop pirated or illegally mined Gold from leaving the system is not as effective as they would have you believe, or else how would the Mollys continue to fund themselves? They are getting their Gold out of the system and into New London through a Jump Hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132643: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sally Ronane (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kirk Mandre (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Bounty Hunters Guild maintains a presence on this ship because we have been hired to assist the military in curbing pirate activity in this system. We go places that the military might not, and the tactics we employ might not necessarily be allowed by military code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131471: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sandra Bassett (at Freeport 2 in Bering) Lhtml> I tell you, there's a lot of work for Bounty Hunters in these parts. The navy covers the north Trade Lanes and Texas Jump Gate okay, but they aren't around a lot of the time. Xenos and Rogues hit the northern Trade Lane, Unioners the south. Yup, lots of work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131473: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sandra Bassett (at Freeport 2 in Bering) It's a good thing the Zoners let us land on their bases. The criminals don't like it, but fair is fair. If the Zoners didn't allow us to land, IC and the Liberty Navy would shut this Freeport down in a second, and the Zoners know that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131472: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sandra Bassett (at Freeport 2 in Bering) The Unioner base is out there in the southwestern part of the system. You'll know if you've stumbled onto that hornet's nest, believe me. The Xenos and Rogues tend to be more in the northwest part of the system -- guess the Jump Hole to Hudson is somewhere out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132206: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) You don't get much of a bounty for Gaians. The Corsairs and the Outcasts are a different matter. Bag one of them and you'll be taking it easy for a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132204: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I'm a former Molly that saw the light in Newgate. I won't go after my old comrades, I prefer to hunt the foreign invaders of our space like the Corsairs and Outcasts. It's my patriotic duty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132207: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I used to work these fields -- know 'em like the back of my hand. That's what gives me the edge against the baddies. Gotta watch out for those gas pockets. They're in most of the fields in this system. They got them marked, but not everyone pays attention. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132202: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Let me tell you, this is right in the thick of it as far as bad guys in Bretonia. You've got Gaians and Corsairs in the Devon Field, Mollys coming in from the Cumbria, and everyone imaginable in the Southampton Debris Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132203: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Word is, the Corsairs found some old Jump Hole in the Somerset Field from Cambridge. That's when all the problems started over there. I'm heading over to check it out pretty soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132205: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Sarah Harper (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Graeme Howard (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) New London is a just a sideshow for the Outcasts, 'cause there's no Jump Hole into Manchester from here. The main Cardamine route is through the Leeds smog clouds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132136: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) One of my buddies was chasing some Outcasts near the West Dallas Debris Field a few weeks ago. He tried to cut across the edge of the Negra Pequena to catch up with them, but he stayed in too long and bought the farm. Too bad, he was pretty good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132135: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) If you patrol the Trade Lanes leading from New York to Bering and Hudson, you are going to run across Xenos. Those guys hate outsiders; anyone who is not Liberty is an enemy in their eyes. So if you have been hired to kill Xenos, just watch the foreign shipping convoys moving through. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132137: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) Aside from Trade Lane activity, most of the crime that takes place in this system goes on west of the warning buoys that the navy put up to protect people from flying into dangerous space. Going past those buoys used to worry me when I was green, but now I don't even notice them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132138: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) Rogues like to come into this system since there is so much shipping passing through. They come in from New York I believe, and run their sorties from the Junker base somewhere in the North Dallas Debris Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132139: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) ALG hired me to kill all the Xenos and Rogues I run across, with a bonus for every Xeno. The truth is that Outcasts do a fair bit of pirating and raiding in this system, too. They probably drop their Cardamine with the Junkers and instead of going back home with empty hulls, decide to pick up some goodies on the way home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132134: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at LPI Sugarland in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tara Woods (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker John Smith (at Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska) The largest concentration of Bounty Hunters in the system is hanging out around the North Dallas Debris Field. There is a Junker base in there, and where you find Junkers you are going to find other criminals too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133604: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) There's only one Jump Hole in Omega-3, it's in the Coombe Field on the southern end of the system. It leads right into Omega-5. That's right, into the war zone. The Hessians and Corsairs butcher themselves in there. I don't go there unless I'm trying to pass through, and I've got the throttle buried the whole way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133602: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) I've been hired by BMM to fight off attacks on their station. They pay me well enough, I suppose, but I'm thinking of leaving. They hired four of us and they're already asking the Guild for three replacements. The Corsairs in this space are battle-hardened, worse than their usual lot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133607: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) Some jerk pulled a knife on me a few nights ago in the bar during a brawl. Since he pulled steel, I decided to pull some ceramic. My crowd killer lived up to its name. Too bad I got the two behind him. Lucky I was able to get away without being identified. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133606: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) I can tell you where the dangerous elements are in this system to help you avoid em. They are everywhere, so go home. Ha, just kidding. There are Hessians to the east in the fields and Corsairs to the west. Both are to the south. Just watch your butt, cuz these pirates will shoot it off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133605: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) Bowex is paying me very well to protect its shipping convoys that pass through this system. This is probably the most dangerous shipping route in all of Sirius, so their pilots are top notch. Even so, a lot of them get charbroiled in Omega-3 and Omega-7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133603: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Tia Baird (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Vivian Campbell (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) If you are trying to kill Corsairs, then keep to the western side of Omega 3 and hunt in the fields there. Make sure to patrol the Coombe in the south too -- though you may run into more Hessians than you like down below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132779: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Vicky Culpepper (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) If you are trying to get closer to the Corsairs and their space, then I suggest you find the Jump Hole they use to enter this system from Sigma-17. The Hole is on the southern side of the Kikka Dust Cloud. That is the Hole they drag all their Artifacts through to sell to the Hogosha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132777: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Vicky Culpepper (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) This is a good system to work in. I've got easy access to Corsairs and Outcasts. I just have to bag a few of either to afford a ticket to stay aboard this ship as an honored guest. Orbital keeps me around in case the pirates get a little too aggressive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132778: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Vicky Culpepper (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) This system is the entry point for Outcasts into this part of space. Mostly they are trying to run their drugs from the Donryu Cloud to the Hiryu Cloud. The Donryu hides the Jump Hole to Omicron Beta, and the Hiryu hides the Jump Holes to Honshu and Sigma-13. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134300: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Vicky Culpepper (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) * [Hogosha] Hogosha/ Togama Ikeda (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) Yesterday, the Corsair ship Menorca was ambushed and destroyed by the Outcasts somewhere in the Gikka Dust Field. The Corsairs have just begun the search for the wreckage. If you are lucky, you may be able to beat them to it and grab the Artifact load for yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131987: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) I got the Jump Hole routes down in this part of Sirius. The Outcasts run their drugs from Manchester through a Hole to Magellan, then across to Cortez. From there, into the Tahoe Cloud, then across this system to the Texas Hole. Pretty good, eh? I dare you to follow it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131986: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) I love it out here. I grew up on Houston, but I always dreamed about going to the Barrier. It's so beautiful in the skies of Liberty. Who would've known it was chock-full of nasties? I use this as my base for popping into Magellan. I'd rather have the LPI as roommates than the criminals on those Freeports. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131991: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) The Corsairs are a tough lot. Best chance to get in with them is with the Junkers. Whatever you do, stay away from the Hessian and Outcast alliances. As I said, hard to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131989: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) They say if you want to get in with the Outcasts, get friendly with the Rogues. Then graduate to the Lane Hackers. Run some drugs. Then you're on your way. Hard to turn back at that point, since you'll be a Cardamine addict for life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131990: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) I'm doing long-range recon patrols into the Whitney Field. We do a lazy loop around it, keeping our distance from the Rogue base. Our usual path runs right along the Outcast smuggling route, so you have to be real careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131988: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at San Diego Border Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Springfield Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Red Deer Station in Alberta) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wallace Dice (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins (at Galesburg Station in Illinois) The Guild does a regular "fishing" trip into the Cloud every day. We usually snag something. A Rogue or two -- once in a while you get an Outcast. Like catching one of those giant black two-finned sharks they have on Curacao. You have to let it run the line till it tires out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134113: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) The Jump Holes in this system lie on opposite sides of Stuttgart. The hole to Omega-11 is in the Westnebel, and the hole to Dresden lies within the Ostnebel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134115: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) The Red Hessians are the real problem in this system. At least the LWB confine themselves to the east side of Stuttgart. The Hessians come in from the Jump Hole in the Westnebel and range all over this place. They are fierce pilots too. My apprentice lived for six days before he died. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134117: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Occasionally I am hired to kill the LWB. I don't like the work as much as taking down Hessians, but it's much easier. Synth Foods is really the only company that pays well for LWB pilots, and the less I have to work for Liberty the better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134116: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) The Hessians think they own Rheinland, but I am paid to make them think differently. I used to be a freelancer that did a lot of work for the Corsairs. Eventually, I had to start going up against Hessians in Omega-5. That's how I learned to kill them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134118: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) The police in Rheinland barely get enough parts to keep their ships flying. They are good pilots and have decent training, but that is all they've got. Hey, I can find more work in Rheinland than anywhere else. That means the police aren't doing their job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134114: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Wendy Baker (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Jeremy Fry (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) If you're looking for the LWB, you're best served hunting them down in the Ostnebel.

They are tough scum bags to kill, but worth the cash they earn me.

It's also a straight shot across the system to the Whitney Field, if that don't offer enough action for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525304: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Frances Kiefer (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .The Outcasts just don't give up. There are dozens of their fighter wrecks dotted around this area, and a looter would have a field day if they dared to pass through the ancient minefields that litter this system.

They call me a "reformed" Rogue. Spent ten years in Sugarland rolling Sheet Metal. Now I'm out here hunting my old comrades down. At least it's legit work.

Many will look down upon us, because most of our ranks were once criminals, but that is their mistake.

It was tough for a while, but the pay is better than the Federal Police can offer, and you have more freedom to boot. Of course, the Red Hessians are growing, too, so it's not an easy job. The Mollys and Gaians would be chicken feed for that lot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132560: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Guard Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Guard Station in Bastille) We go further into the clouds than the Armed Forces do. I've gone right by the Omega-5 Jump Hole more than once. That takes some guts, let me tell ya. The Corsairs get really nasty if you get too close to their access points. I've never been in Omega-5. Not too many Hunters survive to tell their tales of that area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132561: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Norfolk in Cambridge) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Winchester Station in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Harlow in Salisbury) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Battleship Derby in Leeds) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Joesphine Macaw (at Guard Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Solomon Pesto (at Guard Station in Bastille) Word from Freeport I is that the Corsairs are losing their turf war with the Hessians in Omega-5. That'll save Bretonia's rear. Once the Hessians cut off Omega-5, the Corsairs won't have an access route into Cambridge anymore. Hessians don't much care about this corner of the woods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525322: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kate Steel (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .We think that the Outcasts have a base in the Galloway Ice Cloud. Most of their raids come from there, anyway. The Bounty Hunters Guild are remarkably silent on the matter. I guess they want to stay employed by not revealing any pirate bases to the authorities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131274: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) South of here is Zone 21. You aren't going to find many criminals there; you have to keep heading south past 21 until you reach the Badlands. And let me tell you when they call it the Badlands, they mean it. There are guys in there who will smoke you before you have the chance to cry for your mama. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131271: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Liberty is a good place to be if you are a Bounty Hunter; all the best contracts come right out of this system. The big corporations do their business here, and where there's business, there is crime, and that's where we come in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131276: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Xenos don't really come this far into New York; mostly they try for Detroit weapon shipments on the west side of the system. Plus the amount of Junkers and Rogues between here and New Jersey makes for a rough trip if you're a Xeno. Most likely he'd be dead by now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131275: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) I cracked a team of Rogues that was raiding the Food shipments coming in here from Ft. Bush. So I guess that they won't need to steal as much Food with three less mouths to feed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131272: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Plenty of Bounty Hunters have spent time on an LPI ship making Consumer Goods, but that is where I learned to think like the criminals that I hunt down. You see, before I went to the Huntsville I wasn't really a criminal. When I got out I had three choices: mine Boron, join the Rogues, or become a Bounty Hunter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131273: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kyla Robertson (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Séamus Rail (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) A lot of them damned technocrats turn their noses up when a Bounty Hunter walks by, but they sure do get friendly when they need someone nabbed who's been stealing their goodies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134191: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) I'm doing the guys I kill a favor. If they got caught by the police they would have to go to Vierlande for the rest of their days. It is much better to die fighting than to rot away in a dark hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134190: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) I've almost got enough saved to retire. I don't know what I'm going to do or where I will go. I might go to Liberty. I don't really want to, but I always get paid in Liberty coin so the currency doesn't lose value before I can spend it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134187: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) The Schwefelnebel hides the Jump Hole leading into Frankfurt. Red Hessians make supply runs into that system, so it is a good place to hunt for them. Plus, the proximity to this base from there means that if you get shot up and need repairs, you don't have to fly far with a leaky ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134192: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) I'm one of the few men who went to the Vierlande and came back out again. Almost all of the sentences are for life, including mine. But I got a reprieve after I helped the guards put down a riot. After being there, I prefer getting blown away by Hessians to breaking the law again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134188: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) If you want some real trouble, you might try heading to Omega 11 -- there are Diamonds and Hessians all over that system. It's one of the most dangerous places in Sirius. If the pirates don't kill you, the solar flares usually will. The Jump Hole is in the Lavafeld. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134189: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leah Carter (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wayne Kramer (at Bautzen Station in Dresden) You can kill LWB and Red Hessians in the Giftnebel. There are Jump Holes in there as well as a Hessian base. It is extremely dangerous, though; you must excerise caution if you go. I tell newbie Bounty Hunters I don't like, that it is the place they need to be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131353: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) The pirates and raiders here in Liberty are punks compared to what you'll find on the fringes of Sirius. Sure, there are Outcasts here, but they are an Edge World syndicate that travels into the heart of Liberty to sell their Cardamine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131351: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Think you're a good pilot? Well, tell me what you think of yourself after you tangle with a Corsair.

It's dangerous out there in the Edge Worlds, and you can get popped in the blink of an eye. But that's where you have to go to get the meanest and the toughest criminals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131355: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Some people say that Outcasts and Corsairs used to be the same people. I guess it's possible, though if you've ever seen an Outcast you might think differently. They are just different from the rest of the people of Sirius and the Corsairs. I can't imagine them being friendly with anyone but other Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131352: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) The scum you see here in Liberty is all that you find in an area with the greatest police and military presence in Sirius. Once you leave Liberty, you start meeting the real bad ones: Mollys in Bretonia, Red Hessians in Rheinland, and Blood Dragons in Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131354: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Brian Wright (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Most Bounty Hunters you run across have either been hunting for a few years and know the ropes, or they're green -- in which case they'll probably be dead within a month or two. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134337: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Missouri in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Moorhead Station in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Liz Snowden (at Battleship Concord in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Leo Neely (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) A Bounty Hunter named Harry Riggs went out after some Outcasts in the Badlands but never came back. He had some decent weapons on his ship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131967: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) I'm getting bored around here. Same old stuff with the Rogues and Hackers. I want to get out to the Border Worlds. The Corsairs and Red Hessians are supposed to be nasty in the Omega systems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131966: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) This place makes me feel real unwelcome. Them navy folks just don't want us here. They're all suspicious and secretive. We're just performing a necessary duty -- waste disposal. That's what I would call it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131968: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) I'm just taking a breather. Been floating around this cursed cloud for weeks. There's lots of bad guys out there; it's just tough to nail them. Half the time you're just trying to avoid ice crystals appearing out of the mists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131971: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) We're not too far from the Whitney Ice Asteroid Field. The main Rogue hideout in California is there. They also got the Jump Hole to Texas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131969: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) This is a good base to intercept Outcasts doing their smuggling runs from Cortez to Texas. Their main route passes just south of here. That doesn't make it guaranteed, but definitely a better chance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131970: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Nick Barnes (at Willard Research Station in California) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Kate Wolfe (at Willard Research Station in California) Those white coats gave me a strange request last week. They said to bring back an Outcast with their Cardamine. Guess they want to study them more closely. Sounds kind of creepy to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525412: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .There's a jump hole some way southeast of here. I don't know where it goes; I found it out on patrol one time, looking for Gaians in the Northumberland ice cloud. Ageira says jump holes are unstable, though. I don't trust those corporate creeps, but I'm not willing to gamble my life on the belief that Ageira is lying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525413: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .Are you looking for trouble? Because you've sure as hell found it. Now get lost before I kick your butt clear back to the fetid pit that you crawled out of. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525408: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Poppy Perkins (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .My buddy went missing on patrol to the west of here, some time ago. I guess he's probably dead but it would be good to get his body back to give him a decent burial. He probably ran into one of those numerous ancient minefields that litter this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133073: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) I was patrolling the Sheffield North a few weeks ago when I stumbled across three Lane Hackers. They were caught by surprise, too busy waiting on a Gold shipment that was coming by. I bagged one of them before they knew what hit 'em. The other two punched it for the Jump Hole to Magellan and escaped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132689: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Gaians used to be the easiest kill in the book, and they still are pretty much, but they're getting better at fighting and coordinating attacks. Some of them are rather good pilots now. I still kill them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133069: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) I am paid to kill Mollys near this base, but that may change. A group of BMM executives got mashed by a giant ice cube last week. They were here doing a routine inspection, and on their way back, their ship collided with an ice asteroid. The word is that the Gaians towed it into the Trade Lanes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133070: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Did you hear about the transport that got blown open just outside this base a short while ago? I found them fighting off a couple of Outcasts that they must have dragged in from the Trade Lanes. I got there too late. Just as I was about to engage the Outcasts, the transport's engines went critical. Too bad, I knew the pilot; he was a good guy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133071: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) Peace is maintained in this system by the police and the Bounty Hunters. The Bretonian Armed Forces keep a battleship the Essex, in a nearby system, but it is up to us to regulate order here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133072: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sallie Burger (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Herman Miller (at Birmingham Station in Manchester) The Mollys hit the Trade Lane between here and the New London Jump Gate quite frequently. I specialize in killing Mollys. My brother was onboard the Newgate as an inmate when Mollys attacked it trying to free one of their own. He got killed in the raid, with only six months left to serve. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132052: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) The Xenos are strong in this system; they harass foreign shipping resources on the way to New York from Rheinland. The Rheinland government and her corporations are displeased with the lack of action from LPI, so oftentimes we get hired to reduce the Xeno population in the system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132051: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) The Outcasts come in from the California Jump Hole and then head for the Junker base in Debris Field One. Before they leave the system, they do a bit of pirating themselves. You'd think they wouldn't care about pirating with all the money they make from Cardamine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134341: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at LPI Huntsville in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Mississippi in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Prison Station Fairbanks in Alaska) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at San Jacinto Station in Virginia) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Kevin Holmes (at Navy Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Peter Joss (at Battleship Whitefield in New Hampshire) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Hunter Dan Carter (at Battleship Gettysburg in Pennsylvania) Not too long ago there was a prison break by some Rogues from a Sugarland work convoy in the East Dallas Debris Field. They fled into the Pequena Negra Cloud, pursued by a Bounty Hunter named Annie Shorty Davis. She flew a nice rig called the Avenger. The Rogues eventually doubled back and escaped through the California Hole. Annie must have gotten confused in there, or maybe her ship was damaged by some enemy fire. Either way, she never emerged from that dark cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132054: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) If the Outcasts are going to attack a prison, they will attack the Sugarland. That is the only prison that houses them, and truth be told, there aren't many Outcasts there at all. Most of them fight to the death when cornered. The ones who are captured usually die within the first month of incarceration for some reason. Some of them manage to survive, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132049: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) This base being primarily a Commodity producer means that it is a tempting target for the criminals in the area. So I patrol the Trade Lanes nearby, hunting for the scum who waylay shipping. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132050: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) We offset the cost of housing Liberty's criminals by putting them to work making products for the good citizens of Liberty. If you are on the Sugarland you will be working in the scrap smelters; if you are on the Huntsville, you will be making Consumer Goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132053: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sandra Russell (at Planet Houston in Texas) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/ Kyle Herring (at Planet Houston in Texas) There are all manner of debris fields in this system for the outlaws to hide in, but you have to be careful if you go in, because some of the debris areas contain radiated fields that will cook you and your ship before you can escape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134326: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Seth Fern (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Scott Shelton (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) The Samura armored transport Nikko Maru was carrying Luxury Goods from Manhattan to New Tokyo when it was caught in the Dark Matter Storm of 784. It lies somewhere in the Matsuo Cloud along the abandoned Trade Lane. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131676: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) I just got back from a tough run into the Alamosa Field. It was swarming with Rogues and Hackers. They must have a Hole somewhere up there. Bagged me two Rogues, though. Not a bad day's work. Way better than my old job at LPI. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131680: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) I'm heading off to Galileo after I rest up. Now that's some intense action up there. All those dark matter clouds, crawling with baddies. You definitely want to have a good shield and a killer ship in the Indie Worlds. This is child's play here in Liberty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131679: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) There's a couple of Holes into this system. Us Bounty Hunters aren't supposed to tell anyone about them, but you look okay to me. The first one is in the northern end of the Alamosa Field; it goes to Galileo. There's another one into Kepler from the Copperton Field. The Xenos use that one a lot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131677: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) The Xenos have a base down in the Silverton Field. Pretty easy to bag 'em around there, but the bounty isn't that good, so I don't bother. Guess they don't piss off the powers that be enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131681: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) My buddy works for the LPI. I used to, but it was lousy pay and a bunch of corporate crap. I prefer the freelance life of a Bounty Hunter. You can make a killing at this, if you don't get killed first. He'll still be doing time with LPI when I'm retired and sipping a California Breeze on the beach in L.A. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131678: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Tony Fox (at Planet Denver in Colorado) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Karen King (at Planet Denver in Colorado) I've heard the Rogues make smuggling runs from the Galileo Hole across the east side of the system to the New York Hole. If you figure out their route, you can ambush them pretty easy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131391: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) There is a strong Outcast presence in the northern Edge systems. Unfortunately, that's where mining operations are starting to look for new resources, and that's where we come in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131392: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) IC has been losing money with the construction project fiasco in Tau-23 that will facilitate mining in the area. They have turned to the Bounty Hunters Guild to take care of the problem. I am here awaiting specific mission orders for my operations in that area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131393: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) IC wants me to hunt down and kill every single Lane Hacker I can get in my sights. They don't want them captured, nor do they want information from them like Ageira does. They just want them dead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131390: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) IC hires Bounty Hunters to take care of the dirty work that goes with insuring shipments and operations throughout Sirius. If somebody starts to cost IC more money than it costs to hire Bounty Hunters, then we deal with them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131394: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) The Lane Hackers are a smart bunch. Heck, I kind of respect them. But IC wants 'em wiped, so I'm going to perforate some rich-boy California types for IC. I love my job; nothing like blowing holes in rich people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131395: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Newark Station in New York) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Sean Simmons (at Toronto Station in Ontario) * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Bounty Hunter/Tracker Wes Gunn (at Harrisburg Station in Pennsylvania) The way to get a Lane Hacker is to give him Cardamine. They like to spend time in California, so that is where I will go. I'll snag a little Cardamine on the way and use it to buy my way in with them. Once I have their trust& well, you get the idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465374: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Tracker/Anita Roemer (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .Tinsley is the guy who owns this place. That man is a bounty hunters dream contract. There are so many people willing to pay to see that man dead I could retire if I nailed him. The problem is that I can't do it alone, the man employs an army of mercenaries for station security. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465373: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Tracker/Anita Roemer (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .This station may operate under the Freeport conventions, but I wouldn't exactly call it friendly to members of the Guild. The mere presence of a bounty hunter makes most of the station population a little tense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465375: * [Bounty Hunters Guild] Tracker/Anita Roemer (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .See that guy over in corner, he is station security, they have been watching me like a hawk since I got here. The only reason they are tolerating me is because I have assured them I am only stopping over for the night, I am headed to Freeport 3 to meet a contact who has neglected to pay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525299: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/ Doctor Michael Benford (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .Some of the scientists that arrive here are so scared at the sight of the alien ruins that they leave immediately. Others get nosy, sometimes a bit too nosy. One recently tried to get into a top security restricted area earlier, without the appropriate authorisation. Turns out he was a Kusari spy. How the hell he got a job I don't know. He didn't look Kusari, that's for sure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525289: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/ Doctor Michael Benford (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) . Back before the Nomad war, Dr. Kendra Sinclair was one of our foremost Xeno-archaeologists, but she disappeared. There are rumours that she joined the Order, but we don't know very much about that organisation, beyond that Liberty labelled them as dangerous terrorists. But I knew Kendra, and she wouldn't join a group of dangerous terrorists who kill innocent people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525300: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Brigadier Jennifer Connelly (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .I have seen it! I have seen the grail, here in these very ruins! I must find it, I must. Torment me no longer, foul temptresses! I will retrieve the grail for General Arthur and the brotherhood of the circular table! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525295: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Brigadier Jennifer Connelly (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .I hate having that damn battleship hanging around outside the station all the time. Its crew are jittery enough at the best of times. If one of them got trigger happy and opened fire, it could destroy this entire station...countless years of research would be lost! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525290: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Brigadier Jennifer Connelly (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .We get most of our supplies via transports from Leeds. Most of them come under heavy escort, as the Gaians often try to hijack them. We don't get as much trouble from the Outcasts or the Mollys as we used to, but even they will raid an unescorted transport if they think they can get away with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525298: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Henry Barry (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .The war with Kusari is creating more pressure from the military command in New London. Quite a few of them hope we can find alien weapons to help in the war effort against Kusari. We can't even properly decipher the damn alien text yet, let alone figure out what is a weapon and what isn't! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525292: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Henry Barry (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .Do you see the long walkway heading into the alien structure? The scientists have excavated a cave in it. Hundreds of thousands of artifacts have been found in the ruins, it will take decades to catalogue them all. Unfortunately most of them are dead, or else were ornamental perhaps, but some may still work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525296: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Henry Barry (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .Recently one of the Scientists started acting very strangely, like he'd had a complete personality switch overnight. We later heard that he had stolen a ship and fled, and that the Bretonia Armed Forces were out looking for him. Maybe the pressure for results got to him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525415: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .I think that the Armed Forces will reclaim Tau-31 before long. We've already started making large pushes through Dundee into their territory, and it won't be long before we manage to press them back to Tau-29. Many of my colleagues are sceptical, given the losses we sustained when the Kusari captured Glasgow and Stokes, but I believe the Queen will see us through somehow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525414: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .We think that the Mollys will keep a base hidden from us out there, even though any eventual peace treaty that may happen is supposed to include the location of every Molly Base. I don't really blame them for keeping one secret though. What isn't good is that we believe it's the one where they're making their nukes. And that has to stop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525411: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .I want to get transferred out of here. I can't stand the boredom. I joined the Armed Forces to see Sirius and fight the Kusari, not spend it chasing down Gaians and watching commercial transport go past all day! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525317: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Matilda Butler (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .These days we've had more and more bounty hunters docking here for rearming and resupply, before they head off to hunt the Mollys, Outcasts and Gaians. Many don't come back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132189: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Frankly, the Bretonian Armed Forces has fallen behind Kusari and Liberty. We just don't have the resources we once had. Our policy is appeasement and compromise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132190: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) We run a daily patrol into the Southampton Debris Field, which contains radiation pockets and numerous criminals. We need to clean up the mess to clear out the criminal menace, but government funds are lacking. The multiple terraforming projects in progress have virtually bankrupted the treasury, and the financial drain continues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132187: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Cardamine use is also on the rise in New London. We once thought it was exclusively a problem in Liberty. Outcasts have been sighted in the debris fields and along the Trade Lanes near the Leeds Jump Gate, presumably engaged in smuggling and piracy activities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132191: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) We've noticed a marked increase in New London Artifact availability and a corresponding drop in price since the Corsairs arrived. The Junkers are suspected in importing the banned trinkets, but they're difficult to catch red-handed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132188: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) The patrols into the Devon Field are to keep the Gaians in check, and more importantly, to address the increasing presence of Corsairs, who have overwhelmed the resources of the Police Authority since their arrival several years ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132186: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Michael Goodwin (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Fiona Ferguson (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) Southampton is a strategic base for the Armed Forces. In addition to protecting the center of Bretonia's industrial might against attack by the criminal element, we run patrols in all directions from here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525309: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rebecca Schofield (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .We need constant supplies from our fleet base in Salisbury to keep this vessel operational, although most of our MOX comes directly from LD-14, although supplies are getting stretched, now that Leeds is under blockade. Most of the new crew members get transferred straight from other battleships stationed on the frontline. I guess this ship serves as something of a bit of R&R away from the warzones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525305: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rebecca Schofield (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .That minefield out there, it's ancient. The mines are of a massively high yield. Whoever originally put them there obviously didn't want visitors, and we've lost dozens of ships over the years to them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525409: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .There's rumours of some IMG wanting a jump gate to Cortez in this system. That's never going to happen, at least not for a year or two; we don't want to make it even easier for criminals to get into this system. Besides, jump gates are expensive and we can't afford it, what with the war and all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525407: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .We use Crusaders and Templars for our pilots. They combine excellent firepower with decent agility. The Kusari vessels are more agile though, and thus harder to hit, which is unfortunately one of the reasons why the war is not going so well for us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525410: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .The South Shields Refinery is owned by the IMG. If they decide to back Kusari in the war, we'll take it and hold it hostage. There's no way they'd get away with that. It's probably why they haven't yet done anything, although I'm inclined to believe that they won't do anything anyway. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131543: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain William Baker (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I won a sweepstakes, that's why I'm here -- it's not something I could afford on a navy pilot's salary. I'm originally from Leeds, so oxygen-rich air like they have on Curacao is a definite pleasure. My mood is improving already. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131542: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain William Baker (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) The drinks are really cheap here, not like back home where they're highly taxed. I'm not particularly fond of Liberty ale, though. I think I'll try jet sailing tomorrow; it's supposed to be a great way to see the planet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131541: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain William Baker (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) Well, I must admit, the weather here is far superior to that of London -- not that I travel much. I've been on the Essex chasing down Mollys in Dublin for the past two years. It's about time they gave me a rest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525293: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Doctor Jessica Richards (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .The structure's defensive shielding wasn't always operational. It powered itself up in late 800 A.S., during what most people refer to as the Nomad War. What caused it to power up is unknown, but it doesn't seem to have had any ill effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525288: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Doctor Jessica Richards (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .You must have noticed those alien ruins outside. Most scientists here believe they belong to an ancient race known as the Daam-K'Vosh. We haven't really managed to decipher the markings yet, but we think we're close! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525302: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Grimsby Bartender/Jordan Myers (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .We're here to protect Sunderland. Being next to these alien structures really freaks out most of the crew. We get transfer requests all the time. People wanting to come see it, and people wanting to get away. Most of the new transfers these days though come from retirees pulled back into active service. Such is the state of the war these days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525311: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Grimsby Bartender/Jordan Myers (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .This battleship was commissioned in 802 A.S., and I joined its crew not long after. We spent a number of years patrolling Cambridge and Omega 3, but eventually the High Command decided that Sunderland needed additional protection, and our name got drawn out of the hat. It is boring here, but I find it preferable to being on the frontlines facing the entire Kusari Navy. Still, i expect that we will eventually be relocated if the war gets any worse than it already is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525323: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Antony Grimwade (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) .There are rumours of a jump hole to the Tau-31 system, somewhere in Newcastle. If it exists, it will most likely be out in the barrier nebula somewhere in the west of the system, although be careful, there are many ancient minefields out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132472: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Dorothy Ackland (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) We've been doing a lot of patrols in the LD-14 area, looking mostly for Mollys. We keep running into Gaians and Outcasts, which has been a real puzzler. Enough of work talk. I need one of those Gaian Shooters everyone's doing over there at the bar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132473: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Dorothy Ackland (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I'm heading out with a Bounty Hunter today on an Arran Cloud flight. Guess I need some action, even when I'm on leave. He said I could handle the guns if anyone shows up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132471: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Dorothy Ackland (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) The commander of the York selects the best squadron once a year and sends us all here. I'd never tasted Luxury Food before, until coming to the Shetland. I don't really care about visiting Gaia, though. I grew up on the Birmingham Mining Station. I never really knew planetside life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132401: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) We patrol the northern sector of Leeds. Mostly we run search and destroy missions around LD-14. It is vital to the security of Bretonia that we protect the shipments of Uranium coming into the base from the LD-14 field and the MOX that is shipped out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132400: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/York Bartender/RBT-15 (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Mia Hayward (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Ark Royal Bartender/RBT-26 (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) Outcasts and Mollys give us the most trouble in these parts of space; the Gaians don't really operate up here -- not that they would be much of a threat compared to the blokes we already fight every day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132405: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) The York is also responsible for patrolling the Tau-31 system. It gets rough up in the Barrier fields with the Outcasts. London is talking about sending us up farther into Tau-23. I guess the BMM project up there isn't going so well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132402: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Mia Hayward (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) We encounter a good deal of Bounty Hunters hired by BMM to kill the criminals we can't lay a beam to, but they are as shady as the criminals at times, plus I think they enjoy their job too much. I kill because I have to; these sadists kill because they enjoy it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132403: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/York Bartender/RBT-15 (at Battleship York in Leeds) The new Trade Lane construction project in Tau-31 has come under a lot of fire by the Outcasts in recent weeks. The York will be sending out two daily patrols starting tomorrow to keep BMM and Deep Space Engineering happy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132404: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Gweneth Coppleman (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rusty Thompson (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/York Bartender/RBT-15 (at Battleship York in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Mia Hayward (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Sean Smith (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Jack Curtis (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Ark Royal Bartender/RBT-26 (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) The Gaians have been attacking the Harris terraforming project in Tau-31 for some time now. Planetform claims they have caused many delays in the project. I'm not so sure about that. Last patrol I did, we saw more Outcasts than Gaians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132228: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) We do regular patrols into the Cumbria Field looking for Mollys. Just the other day we spotted a Corsair assault group. That gave us all the chills because they aren't supposed to be over this far. They must have sniffed out that Dublin Gold and decided that they want some for themselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132229: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) I heard that the real reason we've been put up here is because London got wind of some Molly bomb plot to drop a bunch of dirty MOX bombs in the upper atmosphere and poison the bulk of the planet. They're scared to death down there, those squirmy aristocrats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132227: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Antony Grimwade (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Matilda Butler (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Tyler Short (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rebecca Schofield (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Owen Hamilton (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) You know the real war going on? It's the Mollys and the Corsairs. Those Corsairs are moving in on Molly turf like they weren't even there. We may not have a Molly problem much longer with that going on. Of course, having a sky full of Corsairs ain't too grand either. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132230: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) We do a regular circuit around New London just to make sure the Mollys know we're watching them. We just caught a few of them the other day making a run on the Thames outpost. They really hate BMM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132231: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Antony Grimwade (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Matilda Butler (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Border World Exports] Borderworld Exports/Scarborough Bartender/James Sullivan (at Scarborough Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Tyler Short (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Rebecca Schofield (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Owen Hamilton (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Grimsby Bartender/Jordan Myers (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) I don't really think the Mollys are as bad as we've all been told by the government. From what I hear, BMM is a pretty nasty place to work, especially that GS&M station under Graves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132226: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Suffolk in New London) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major John Grimwade (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Mary Russell (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Suffolk Bartender/Andrew Canon (at Battleship Macduff in Tau-31) The Suffolk's primary mission is to suppress and, if possible, eliminate Molly activity within the southwestern quadrant of the New London system. The Mollys are a very fanatical group that must be stopped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132640: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The separatists in this system are only part of the problem; the Corsairs also pose quite a threat to the Gold mined here. Aside from Corsairs and the Mollys, there are all kinds of criminals in this lawless system and that is why we run patrols by the Hood. All the criminals in this system get their supplies here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132638: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Essex Bartender/Luke Greene (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Essex Bartender/Luke Greene (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The captain of this battleship does not underestimate the cunning and ability of the Mollys in this system. This is not true of the former captain of the battleship Hood, which is now a nest of criminals, vagrant miners, and other similar filth. The Hood was decommissioned after being badly damaged in a Molly trap. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132642: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The Mollys are smart about their attacks. They attack in several different parts of the system simultaneously so we have to split our forces. The trouble comes from not knowing which attacks have the greatest number of ships. When they attack they do as much damage as they can, and then they split up and get out, making the chase very difficult. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132637: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) I escort the BMM Gold shipments that leave the system and the supply shipments that return. My role is to protect the goods at all costs. We have two wings flying the escort missions: one to defend against attack and one to pursue the attackers after they are repulsed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132639: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Essex Bartender/Luke Greene (at Battleship Essex in Dublin) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Joyce Troughton (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Michael Weatherly (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Essex Bartender/Luke Greene (at Battleship Stirling in Dundee) The most embarrassing epoch in Bretonian military history was the time right after the Founders Day Revolt. The destroyers made the first mistake by following the Mollys into an asteroid field. Even worse was when the Hood made the same mistake and got too badly crippled to make it back home to New London. It was decommissioned and stripped of all weaponry, engines, supplies, and materials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132430: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Louis Hartley (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Margaret Bisset (at LD-14 in Leeds) Bounty Hunters refuse to come to this base. I can't say that I blame them, but I'm glad they don't. We have enough criminals in these parts as it is. Most Bounty Hunters have done a turn or two at one of our prisons. How do you think they know all the underworld secrets that they do? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132429: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Louis Hartley (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Margaret Bisset (at LD-14 in Leeds) We come across the Outcasts at this base occasionally. I think they are just passing through, but we are bound by duty to engage them. They are one tough fight. Their ships are better than ours -- makes me a bit angry to think about that -- but I do what I have to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132428: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Louis Hartley (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Margaret Bisset (at LD-14 in Leeds) Everyone stationed at this base has it bad for the Mollys. The ones that get captured don't survive long enough to be shipped out of here. The last one we captured was found the next morning in his cell with two pieces of MOX where his eyes used to be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132431: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Louis Hartley (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Margaret Bisset (at LD-14 in Leeds) Once a pilot has completed a tour of duty at this base he gets his choice of assignments. Most go right to New London. I've got three months left of duty left here. I transferred in with six others, all pretty green. I'm the only one left. Mollys and Outcasts killed the rest of my mates. I try not to make friends here anymore; I just do my job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132427: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Louis Hartley (at LD-14 in Leeds) * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Captain Margaret Bisset (at LD-14 in Leeds) I run the marine contingent on this base. It's one of the worst duties you can pull. If you get sent here, someone up top really hates you.

I fight best solo. I don't have to worry about some stupid kid just out of the academy getting more of our equipment destroyed.

She's one tough bitch. Her name is Brigadier Jennifer Connelly, and she was assigned to this base by the Bretonia Armed Forces to keep an eye on everything here. Fair play though, she runs a tight ship and conditions have improved under her command, but she's also quite unforgiving of idiots. Mess about and you'll be sent back to Cambridge quicker than you can say "hey Jen, nice ass". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525297: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Malcolm Reynolds (at Sunderland Research Station in Newcastle) .Hey, have you see the Sunderland's commandant, Jennifer?

Virtually all of them are needed on the frontlines these days, as I hear the casualty rates out there are horrendous. Ever since the news arrived that Glasgow Outpost and Stokes have fallen to Kusari, we've been expecting orders to move to Leeds. They haven't come yet, but I suspect it is only a matter of time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525406: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Mia Hayward (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .This ship is the most powerful battleship the Armed Forces have created to date. We're equipped with the latest in point defence and target acquisition sensors, although obviously for security reasons I can't tell you any specifics. You'll have to join the Bretonia Armed Forces if you want to learn more. And yeah, I know its stupid to keep our most advanced warship in Newcastle while the Kusari scum roll into Leeds, but I don't make the orders, I just follow them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525405: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Mia Hayward (at Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle) .We have to go to the aid of a lot of Bowex convoys that get attacked.

Most head to Leeds and Tau-31 these days, where the fighting is still heavy, especially after the fall of Stokes and Glasgow Outpost. I'd be surprised if half of them survive their first month out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525306: * [Bretonia Armed Forces] Bretonia Armed Forces/Major Owen Hamilton (at Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle) .The Grimsby is one of the most powerful Bretonian battleships ever created.

Corsairs are more of a problem in our end of the system; the Red Hessians take over at the east end. Apparently, there's no Jump Hole between Omega-3 and here, or between Omega-3 and Omega-7.

It's not industrialized and all like Leeds and London. It does have those Cambridge University snobs, though. They help support the Green Front, which is the "official" arm of the Gaians.

One thing the Crown will not stand is the blocking of Trade Lanes, and more companies are going to start increasing bounties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133122: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) This station was constructed to protect the convoys traveling through the system from the Border Worlds. The Jump Gate just beyond this station leads to Cortez, which is dangerous space for anyone. Luckily, Cortez is outside of our jurisdiction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133126: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) Gaians frequently attack the Trade Lanes near our base. They are always trying to take down Planetform shipments and steal supplies. Although they are pretty easy kills, there are plenty of them here. The Bounty Hunters get more money for Mollys, so it's more of a police issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133128: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Kingston Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Newbury Station in Poole) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Sherri Gellar (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Helen Gramm (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Harry Ford (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Kingston Bartender/RBT-88 (at Dunblane Station in Dundee) I wish I knew how the Outcasts and Lane Hackers are getting into this system.

I hear Magellan is a dangerous place. Luckily, that's a Liberty Navy responsibility. From the condition of some of the ships that arrive, I'd say they are understaffed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133110: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Liverpool Bartender/RBT-93 (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) This base was built here to protect damaged ships arriving from the Border Worlds and to patrol the Trade Lanes between the Gate and Sheffield. We see ships in all kinds of conditions. Once a ship that was on fire arrived with no engines. The pilot brought it in using inertia from the Jump Gate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133116: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Liverpool Bartender/RBT-93 (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) Liverpool has a proud history of Bretonian police. There are many families that have been police officers at this station for several generations. This station is responsible for over ten thousand C and I's -- that's captures and incarcerations to the layman. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133115: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Liverpool Bartender/RBT-93 (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dominic Martin (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Megan Conway (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Gateshead Bartender/RBT-67 (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) I love to watch the Newgate prisoner convoy being loaded. You should see the looks on the criminals' faces when they trudge aboard the ship that takes them to the worst place in Bretonia. They aren't going to be going anywhere else for a long, long time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133117: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Liverpool Bartender/RBT-93 (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) The only criminal element that goes south of the Trade Lanes in this system is the Mollys. They are always trying to free their captured brethren, a noble pursuit I suppose. I don't let that sentiment stop me from doing my job, however. Fewer free Mollys means that more pilots are going to go home to their families. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133114: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Liverpool Bartender/RBT-93 (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dominic Martin (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Megan Conway (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Gateshead Bartender/RBT-67 (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) Mollys -- I hate those vile miscreants with passion. Their lack of regard for human life makes them terrible hypocrites, especially since they were formed to fight the barbarity of BMM.

For some reason an idiot Liberty Rogue flew into this system once. After he was apprehended he tried to offer me a bribe and was astonished when I turned it down and brought him in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133112: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Stanley Hawkins (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kerry Owen (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Simone Magee (at Liverpool Border Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dominic Martin (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Megan Conway (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) The Outcasts hang around in Sheffield North a lot. I hate pulling that beat. It has the highest mortality rate of any of our patrols. My wingman of six years died a few months ago when his ship smacked an ice asteroid while chasing an Outcast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132356: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) I always believed in what the Gaians were fighting for; I just didn't like the way they went about doing things. I didn't take them as seriously as the others -- just rich kids ya know. Well, that all changed a few months ago when they zapped my mate on a routine patrol. We weren't even in attack formation -- just flying by -- and they opened up on us. Roger's ship imploded before I could blink. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133095: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) We maintain a presence here at this base because a lot of shippers, though they often rely on Bounty Hunters, still want to see the legitimate authorities.

Have you ever tangled with an Outcast? I and two other police interceptors engaged four of them a few days ago. It was a mistake to go against them with fewer numbers.

Last week I came up against a few Mollys on their way from Birmingham. One of the Mollys escaped, one died, and the third is on a convoy to Newgate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133096: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) The Crown has instituted a work program for the least dangerous criminals at the Newgate. They mine ice in the Sheffield South. I run the patrol from this base, which keeps their mining operation secure from attempted breaks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133100: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Gaians are a bunch of pansy rich kids who had no problems in their lives, so they decided to create one. Terraforming isn't anything terrible or unethical. As a matter of fact, it will eventually save Bretonia. I take pleasure in wasting or busting them filthy snobs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133097: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Bernadette Pritchard (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Daniel Hall (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) I don't like being here at this base. I would prefer to be stationed at a police base where there are more of my kind. Several of the Bounty Hunters I have encountered here were criminals that I put away at one time or another. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132526: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) We focus our efforts in New London, Manchester, and Edinburgh; the military takes over in Dublin and the Border World frontier areas of Cambridge and Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132525: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) They say that the Police Authority has been caught unawares of the Corsair threat because the director ignored most of the field reports from Cambridge during the last few years. The Corsairs were on the move towards New London. There's plenty of time to build some new bases out there in the east end. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132029: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) The Bretonia Police Authority is a highly professional organization that takes pride in its highly ethical conduct. We view that contemptible corporation called the LPI as an embarrassment to Liberty. They are more interested in staffing their factories inexpensively than maintaining law and order. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132031: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) My only experience with Molly attacks has been on the prison transport run to Newgate in the Manchester system. We're heading out momentarily with a crew of them brought in from the Essex yesterday. We have to keep them sedated and well secured, as they can get quite violent -- not my favorite duty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132524: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) This is the one of the best places to buy Gold, or you can head to Dublin for the producer's price. Just remember, that comes at an added risk of Corsair and Molly attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132028: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) Just came back from a rough patrol into the Cornwall Field. Those bloody Corsairs have decided to move in and have a little party at our expense. It's like they came out of nowhere. Used to be an easy job, New London was. That's just a memory now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132030: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) I was relieved on Canterbury yesterday. Did a return patrol along the Lane. I'm glad to be back home. I'll take the rain any day over Corsairs and Gaians interrupting my sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132027: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) We've got a few homegrown problems in Bretonia. The Mollys are trying to break off in Dublin. BMM and the Armed Forces have that headache. We deal with the Gaians, some upper-class Cambridge types that went eco-terrorist on us. More annoying than anything, they are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132026: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Diana Bennett (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Christopher Barry (at Planet New London in New London) * [Bretonia Police] New London Bartender/John Weck (at Planet New London in New London) We handle the eastern portion of the system; the Bretonia Armed Forces patrols the west. That arrangement worked most satisfactorily until the arrival of the Corsairs. At this point, we may well have the more difficult assignment in New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132674: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) Mollys don't attack this base as much as they used to now that we have installed weapon platforms and a minefield along the Newgate's perimeter. The current problem is that they try to rescue their captured comrades by attacking the convoys headed into the base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132673: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) The prisoners do not cross Mollys aboard this ship, especially the Mollys that carry the Maguire spike. That weapon is a filed down metal splinter. When we found one on an inmate last week, the guard shot him on the spot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132675: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) Aye, the Mollys aboard this ship are a mean lot, but the main problem is the free ones who keep trying to liberate their fellows. The worst attempt I can remember was about two years ago when one of the attackers' missiles penetrated the hull and a whole cell block underwent explosive decompression. Everyone in there died, including guards and prisoners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132672: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) The inmates aboard this ship are considered so dangerous that all guards have the right to shoot and kill any prisoner at any time. That may seem somewhat brutal, but it is necessary to maintain order among so many violent felons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132679: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) Some of the guards here used to know Willy Logan. He was an escape artist who some people say busted out of the Newgate. Maybe he did. His cell mate says that the vac-suit he made looked pretty good. The closest base sure is a long way to go using a stolen fire extinguisher as propulsion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132676: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) Ever hear of Willy "The Snake" Logan? He's the prisoner some say escaped off this hulk. Me, I don't buy it. I say his corpse is out floating around somewhere in the vac-suit he fashioned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132678: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) We try to keep the Mollys separated on this ship. Anytime you have more than two of them together, trouble is just around the corner. We learned this only after three of them killed two guards, stole their weapons, and tried to fight their way to the bridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133068: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) This ship, the Newgate Deep-Max Penitentiary Vessel, is a high-security prison for the worst of the Bretonian criminals. The terrorists, serial felons, escape artists, and others too dangerous to house planetside come here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132677: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at BPA Newgate in Manchester) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Graham Powell (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Pam Doyle (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain May Richardson (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Newgate Bartender/Ryan Chandler (at Police Prison Station in Bastille) The guards who work this prison are the best in Bretonia. Most of them are incorruptible, though there are always bad apples. One crooked guard is now serving time here for delivering George Good's orders. He's the leader of one of the New London crime syndicates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132474: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Ivan Quayle (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) As part of our security arrangement with Orbital, one Aberdeen Police Authority employee is allowed a free stay at the Shetland every month. We're more likely to respond quickly to Orbital distress calls, if you know what I mean. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132476: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Ivan Quayle (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) All these rich people from the big planets make me kind of self-conscience. They spend more on clothes and jewelry in a couple of days here than I earn in a year. I'll just hang out at the buffet and feast, I guess. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132475: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Ivan Quayle (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) We're supposed to keep an eye out for Cardamine use on the Shetland when we're here on holiday. This ship seems pretty clean, though. It's a little too difficult for the dealers to smuggle past our border station. I've heard there's some Gaian plant that produces an even better effect than Cardamine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132358: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) I patrol down the south side near the New London Jump Gate. I know that them damn criminals are making a way into our capital system somehow; I just wish I knew where. I make certain that they don't slip past me into the Jump Gate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132353: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) I fly a patrol along the Trade Lane leading to the Edinburgh Jump Gate. That's the route the tourists like to take getting to the Shetland. Gaians, Mollys, and Outcasts hit that Lane pretty frequently, especially through the West Leeds Smog Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132359: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Population/Leeds Bartender/Bernard Stockton (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) My folks and their ancestors all come from Leeds. We've been workin' the foundries in my family as long as I can remember -- except me. My father was always moaning about getting the rake from BMM, so I figured I'd get out from under that thumb. I apprenticed myself to a freelancer and learned to fly. After a bit I took the opportunity to join the authorities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132354: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Population/Leeds Bartender/Bernard Stockton (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) If you fly your ship through either one of the smog clouds in this system, get it washed before you touch it. The industrial waste you're flying through is highly acidic and though it might not do a great deal to your ship, it'll burn through your skin in seconds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132355: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Population/Leeds Bartender/Bernard Stockton (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) The Bretonian Police patrol this sector for unlawful activity. The military takes care of the northern part of Leeds mostly around the Trade Lanes leading to Tau-31 and LD-14. It's more of a military matter protecting the processed MOX nuclear fuel produced at the plant there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132361: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) The Outcasts make their appearance in this system quite often. This is part of their route into center Sirius and Bretonia with that blasted Cardamine they peddle. They are tough ones I don't like to tangle with -- makes me doubt my pension. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132357: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Morgan Faye (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Arthur Moore (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Diana Ferguson (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) The Bretonian Police aren't like them Liberty coppers you'll find glossing it up in New York. No sir, we don't take bribes and we don't take it easy. If you break the law in Bretonia, you're going to pay. That I promise you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132508: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) Since we established Aberdeen, those rich folks on the Shetland have had to clean up their act. No more Cardamine coming through this Gate. I hear it's not quite the party it once was. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132509: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) We're pretty certain the Gaian base is in the Islay Cloud. It's hard to find it in there though; those ice asteroids look all the same after a while. If you're unlucky, you could stumble into an Outcast doing some smuggling. My former wing man did that last year -- may he rest in peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132501: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) Aberdeen serves as the guardian for the rest of Bretonian space in this sector. Before the establishment of this post, the Outcasts and the Gaian eco-terrorists had free reign in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132505: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) We aren't really here to control the Gaians. That's just the public version that the government spewed out. Our primary mission, as far as London is concerned, is Outcast monitoring and suppression. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132506: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) We get conflicting reports from London on how to handle the Gaians. One week it's "Vaporize them all on sight"; next week it's "Leave them be if they aren't causing problems." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132504: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) The positioning of Aberdeen is quite strategic. We can protect the Gate and sit astride the Gaian attack parties bound for the Sky Ice Field. The Islay Cloud is also in close proximity, enabling easy monitoring of Gaian movements along the Shetland access route. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132507: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) We send out two daily patrols: one to Perth, and one to Shetland. These keep the Gaians in check most of the time. If the Outcasts show up, we can only hope that the Bounty Hunters are close by. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132503: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) The Cambridge researchers on Gaia have made quite a stink about us all being here in Edinburgh. They think it'll lead to the deterioration of the environment and mass extinctions. I don't think I'd go that far. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132502: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Nathanial Crawford (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Dolly Jackson (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Owen Williams (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Aberdeen Bartender/Mathais Hatcliff (at Aberdeen Border Station in Edinburgh) I think it's a bloody waste of taxpayer money having us up here. This really shouldn't be under the Authority's jurisdiction. My guess is that some private contributions were made by Planetform to certain Bretonian government officials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132273: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) The Corsairs are fairly indiscriminate in their targets. They seem to hate everybody, and relish confrontation. They will never allow themselves to be captured. I've seen more than a few attempts to ram you even with their ship afire and weapons knocked out. I guess it's more honorable for them to die than surrender. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132272: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) I was just trying to make it to retirement on New London making customs inspections. They issued a directive for all able bodied pilots to be on active combat duty until the Corsair threat is eliminated, so here I am, just trying to survive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132271: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) We run patrols on all four Trade Lanes that originate here. The Manchester Jump Gate and Cambridge Trade Lanes are the bad ones. Sometimes an entire squadron is lost. Corsairs move about freely, unafraid of our ships. The military is occupied on the far side of the system, with the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132269: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) Duty in New London used to be quite enjoyable, actually. The military handled the Molly areas. All we had to deal with were the Gaians, who many of us feel should not really be classified as simple criminals since they do not engage in common piracy. But New London and Planetform have kept the pressure up, so we must oblige. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132268: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) This is a new post for the Police Authority. The sudden rise in the Corsair population in eastern London forced headquarters to substantially increase patrols on these Lanes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132270: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Paula Pinfield (at Canterbury Station in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Norman Picard (at Canterbury Station in New London) I find the Bounty Hunters a distasteful and crude lot. They do perform essential and unpleasant tasks for the authority, though. At least we don't have to go into the Somerset. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132295: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) The Gaians aren't really active south of the Devon Field. They're more of a northern Bretonian problem. I've never seen them in Cambridge, which is kind of ironic since that's where most of them originally came from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132293: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) They just transferred me from Cambridge for my expert knowledge of Corsairs, as they put it. The only advice I can offer is run for your life. Leeds is starting to look more and more attractive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132292: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) We were asked to provide supplementary security for this group of bases following the sharp increase in Corsair activity around here. We've had direct attacks from the Somerset Field twice in recent weeks. It got pretty bloody. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132296: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) The Gaians are always putting out probing attacks on this area to check for a lull in our patrols. We can't give them the chance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132294: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) I alternately patrol the two eastern Trade Lanes that originate here, but I dread the Cambridge Jump Gate run the most. I start getting the shakes a good hour before heading out on those days. I signed up for the police, not the military. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132297: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Watson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain Kenneth Swift (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) I almost caught me a Corsair smuggler crossing the Manchester Trade Lane the other day. Saw him scurry across in front of us. We pursued him, but lost him in the fields. The Corsairs mostly ship Artifacts, which wouldn't be a business model if those idiot aristocrats back in London would stop buying them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525391: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .We may hold South Shields hostage if the IMG decide to help Kusari in our war. We won't tolerate trickery and traitorous organizations here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525395: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .We're trying to revamp our fleet at the moment, upgrading our vessels from the Cavalier to the Hussar, allowing us to better combat the new pirate vessels, which currently tear our ships to pieces. It is an expensive process, only made worse by the war, which is draining the government coffers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525400: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Sophie Welch (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .We're glad that the Mollys are in peace negotiations with us, it will hopefully get an enemy off of our backs, which is always a good thing. The Outcasts have been largely neutral these days, although we still hear rumours of them attacking the odd lone vessels if they think they can get away with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132457: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Durham Bartender/RBT-23 (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) Some Bounty Hunters are alright, I suppose. Others are rotten and will kill anybody if the money is right. Basically, they are assassins that companies hire to kill the criminals we haven't had the chance to apprehend yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132455: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) One of the more satisfying jobs on this base is escorting the prison convoy into New London, a big ship full of criminals. Any Outcasts onboard aren't coming back; they usually kick off in prison, for some reason. Of course we don't capture too many of them in the first place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132454: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) I fly patrols into the West Leeds Smog Cloud. Every single criminal faction in Leeds hangs out in that slime. It's my job to root them out and bring them to justice, since the military is too busy up north protecting LD-14. The Gaians are the easiest group, though I must admit that their quality has been improving. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132458: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Durham Bartender/RBT-23 (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) This base was built to protect the shipping coming into Leeds on its way to New London. This is the main trade artery between Kusari and Bretonia and is Bowex's bread and butter. If you want to talk about a company with its hands in The Crown's pocket, it's Bowex. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132460: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Durham Bartender/RBT-23 (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) You might hear a lot of talk about the Outcasts and the Gaians, but the highest priority in this system is the Mollys. Sure, the other factions cause trouble, but the Mollys pose the greatest threat to Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132456: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) The police in Bretonia have a hard time shaking the lousy reputation that Liberty shippers have of the police. That's because they are used to the LPI, which is just as crooked as the criminals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132459: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Durham Bartender/RBT-23 (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) The East Leeds Smog Cloud is as dangerous a place as any. The Mollys especially like to use it as cover, and so do the Outcasts. Even the Gaians will use the East Leeds to get up into the Stokes Asteroid Field where they hit Planetform shipments moving in and out of Stokes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132462: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Zoe Leighton (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Constable Penelope Maxwell (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Captain James Mathie (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) You aren't gonna find tourists, artists, or scientists in this system. You are gonna find wolves and sheep. Now, who is who is for you to figure out. Which one are you going to be? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132461: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Durham Bartender/RBT-23 (at Durham Border Station in Leeds) Some of the Bretonian Police will eventually join the military. This is good training in that respect. Both institutions are honorable and you do a lot of the same things, though I'd say our job is a bit harder because we are supposed to apprehend criminals where we can. The military doesn't see things quite the same way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525396: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Gateshead Bartender/RBT-67 (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .We need to update our defence system on this base soon. The Gaians don't attack Lancaster or Gateshead because they think our onboard weapons will tear them apart. The truth is far different. The defence system is so old it would have trouble taking down a stationary light fighter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525392: * [Bretonia Police] Bretonia Police Authority/Gateshead Bartender/RBT-67 (at Gateshead Station in Newcastle) .We're always getting scientists coming here to study planet Carlisle. After they've been planetside for a few days, they're always coming back swearing that they never want to set foot on Carlisle ever again. I can't say I blame them, as the temperature down there supposedly never drops below 44 Celsius, despite the sealed environmental suits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133861: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Dieter Machts (at Kreuzberg Depot in New Berlin) We are always looking for other factions to join our cause. I'm afraid we've lost the Red Hessians, although we hold out hope for the Unioners and LWB, who have not entirely fallen into a mode of indiscriminate piracy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133860: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Dieter Machts (at Kreuzberg Depot in New Berlin) The Bundschuh were instrumental in bringing about the Popular Revolution. We ensured that the Workers Convention of Rights was ratified by the Rheinland government in 705. Unfortunately, its terms were never honored by the Rheinland corporations, so little has changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133859: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Dieter Machts (at Kreuzberg Depot in New Berlin) We are here to obtain medical supplies and Side Arms for our base in Frankfurt. The Bundschuh are not common criminals like the rabble you see here. We are dedicated to overthrowing the government and restoring justice to Rheinland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134038: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) Those who go to Vierlande seldom return; most sentences are for life, and it's not just pirates, but the political opponents of the corporate elite as well. The Bundschuh fly attack raids on the prison ships and inbound convoys. We fight to liberate our brethren who have been unjustly incarcerated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134046: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) Because we have taken the high road, and not one of piracy like the Red Hessians, our ranks have dwindled. But the members of the Bundschuh are purists, committed to a political agenda -- unlike other underground organizations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134043: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) The Bundschuh recruits new members from the Red Hessians, LWB, Unioners, and even disgruntled Daumann and Kruger workers. But the people we take in must care about our cause, because they won't get rich flying for us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134040: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) The Bundschuh need not lower itself to common piracy like the Red Hessians. Instead, we are funded by the enlightened Berlin intelligentsia looking to do away with the burdens of a corrupt government. This frees us to work directly toward our political agenda without being sidetracked by financial necessities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134041: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) The corporations, though exploitive and uncaring, aren't truly at fault for what they do. Corporations are intrinsically self-serving; it's the government's role to keep them in check. As long as the government is corrupt enough to accept corporate bribes, the workers cannot be free. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134042: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) Our base is located in the Taunus Asteroid field of Frankfurt. Within the same cloud is a Jump Hole to Sigma 13. Nearby is another Jump Hole that leads to Hamburg. In Hamburg there is the Vierlande Prison Ship, the Westfallen battleship, and the Berlin Jump Gate. These are all priority Bundschuh targets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134044: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) In 700 AS, the Dresden Revolt sparked the Popular Revolution that would do away with the Rheinland Imperial Government and replace it with a coalition of the people. The Bundschuh was a key player in the Dresden Revolt, running supplies to the rebels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134039: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) The Bundschuh is a political organization founded by New Berlin university students who were tired of the corruption of the old regime. Decades later we still toil under the yoke of an oppressive government, though its name has changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134037: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Bruchsal Bartender/Andreas Von Loen (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) We get everything we need from the Junkers. Either we go into the Border Worlds to Yanagi, or to New Berlin, where we will find the Kreuzberg Base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134045: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bruchsal Base in Frankfurt) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Bielefeld Base in Luneburg) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Cloppenburg Base in Bremen) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Walter Agricola (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Timo Herr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/ Benno Stöhr (at Eltmann Outpost in Munich) After the revolution, the Bundschuh found itself sidelined by the new government. The coalition wanted the support of the wealthy aristocrats who headed Daumann Industries and Kruger Mining. By 715 AS, the Bundschuh was forced to go underground again, this time by a government it had helped to create. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #505028: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Josef Erlichmann (at Kaiserslautern Depot in New Berlin) .I run supplies from here out to Eltmann sometime. If you stay in the asteroid fields, it's not the riskiest run and Eltmann needs those goods badly. It's a long ride between those jumpholes though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #505027: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Josef Erlichmann (at Kaiserslautern Depot in New Berlin) .Our movement often uses this station as a place to recruit. Those declared unlawful by the government tend to be friendly to our cause. We try and get those who are above piracy to help us whenever we can. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #505026: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Josef Erlichmann (at Kaiserslautern Depot in New Berlin) .The conversation here is much different than back on Bruchsal. There we speak of philosophy and political theory. Here, conversations are a lot more down to earth. It's nice for a while, but I prefer intellectional stimulation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #505025: * [Bundschuh] Bundschuh/Josef Erlichmann (at Kaiserslautern Depot in New Berlin) .Kaiserslautern is a nice stop for us. With most of our members closer to Bruchsal, it's hard to get word of our cause to New Berlin. Rest and refueling here has really made a difference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483462: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Alessandra Cardoso (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .I don't know why so many resources are going into the construction of capital ships. I mean, they look imposing on the battlefield, but they're so inefficient. They are also cumbersome, and have high crew requirements. That crew could all be flying fighters and bombers instead, which are much more useful in a system like Omega 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483461: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Alessandra Cardoso (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .The warships under construction here will cement our reputation as the most fearsome group in all of Sirius. They will allow us to finally break through the defences of the weakening houses, and claim their territory as our own. I can't wait until I can walk on the surface of planet Cambridge. When that day comes, it will all be thanks to these ships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483452: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Alexandria Bartender/Eli Moya (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .As a member of the Brotherhood, I really enjoy having a place to call a second home. It's very relaxing for us. The bar here is a clean place, not like the ones on Crete. The food is great too. I love it here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483450: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Ambi Moya (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .I was here when Alexandria was first commissioned as a base of operations in this system. So much has happened since then. Both the system and this station are indistinguishable from what they used to be a few years ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483451: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Ambi Moya (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .You should take a look around out there. I've been a surveyor here since the Brotherhood took ownership of this system. This is one of the few places in Corsair territory that is safe from any invaders. I wish I could let my kids play here, but the security regulations are very tight right now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483457: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Ariel Jovan (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .The sun here in Omicron-91 is really one of a kind. Its classified as a white dwarf star, but it has an ominous red glow about it. I don't know whether to be joyful or scared. It's entrancing, but it also gives me the creeps at the same time. Still, it has got a high output of light compared to radiation, so it is at least good for growing food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483458: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Ariel Jovan (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .I've got to pick up some raw materials from Crete soon. It's all needed for the construction of the fighters in production here. I wish I could get back to fighting on the front lines. I really don't enjoy this shipping job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483453: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Augustus Lamar (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .This station was designed with two purposes in mind; the production of small attack vessels and the cultivation of food. I think the engineers were also instructed to design a station to anger the Zoners, but that's just a rumour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483454: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Augustus Lamar (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .The food here tastes lovely! Not like that awful synthesized paste that comes from the colonies. Here it's fresh, and it's delicious. Try some! You'll love it. I certainly do. Life is great, huh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483449: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Enrique Bernoldi (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .They say that the planet in this system has many artifacts hidden beneath its surface. At the same time, they say that the conditions are too treacherous to attempt to colonise it. Its seems like it's much more than a coincidence to me. Then again, why would anyone want to stop the colonisation of a planet in friendly space? Maybe I'm just being paranoid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483448: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Enrique Bernoldi (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .It's hard to feel sorry for the Zoners. They charge us extortionate prices for the food we need and give us a pittance for the water and oxygen that we ship to their stations. Still, I don't think it's wise to attack the Zoners. We Corsairs still aren't completely self-sufficient yet. Even if we were, the Zoners are useful in supplying many goods that we simply don't have. I think that the Elders take them for granted, carelessly talking about attacking their stations. But who am I to comment? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483464: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Fabiano Ezequiel (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .The edibles we get from Barcelona are some of the best tasting I've ever had. I'm no connoisseur of food, but I've rarely felt as full before as I have now. My friends keep telling me how lucky I am to get a contract as a construction worker here. I completely agree. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483463: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Fabiano Ezequiel (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .This shipyard is the most advanced that the Corsair nation has available to it. Unfortunately, most Corsairs aren't allowed on to this installation due to the strict security rules imposed by the Brotherhood. It might be unfair, but it helps to keep the trigger-happy teenagers away from the delicate process of warship fabrication. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483455: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Giancarlo Fisichella (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .My friends and I build fighter craft here on Barcelona. It's good to be one of the best at times like this. We get many perks in this job. First pickings of food, clean places to relax. Just about the only drawback of the job is keeping any information about the station a secret. For benefits like this, I wouldn't tell a soul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483456: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Giancarlo Fisichella (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .These new designs are really hard to build. I was good at making a Titan, but the Gladiator and the Decurion are just something else. They use technology I've never seen before, and I've been in the business for a long time. I'll get used to it soon I guess, but it feels like I'm learning the trade all over again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483468: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Heriberto Damon (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .I wish I could go further into this system, but no one will let me. I would try to sneak a look, but I heard a rumour that the Brotherhood installed some ridiculous weaponry on the installations in this system. I don't know why they don't allow us to see the system. It's not fair. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483469: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Heriberto Damon (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .I brought my children here to see the museum section that they opened up on this relic, and they're really having a good time. So am I, actually. While they play on the arcade deck with their mother, I can rest here and experience the Prox as it was back in the days when it was in service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483446: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/John Rico (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .I'm so excited! I just brought in a shipment of construction materials and machinery from Skiros station. Everything looks like it's in top condition here. I wish I could stay longer, but I have to get back to Skiros soon. They are expecting me to bring more shipments here. I wouldn't recommend you do the same, there's no money to be made. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483447: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/John Rico (at Alexandria Base in Omicron-91) .I was one of the Corsairs who salvaged parts from the wreck of Freeport 7. It's great to see Zoner investment go into the construction of Corsair stations. In all honesty, we should blow them out of the water. They had no right to delay the construction of the installations in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483465: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Lucia Esteban (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .My relatives are all soldiers serving on Leon or Cadiz. In one sense, I'm lucky to have a comfortable job patrolling friendly space, but I sometimes long for combat on the front lines. Maybe the grass is always greener on the other side. I might make a trip up there, once I save enough credits to buy a better ship from Barcelona station. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483467: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Lucia Esteban (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .The Prox, which now guards the system, came through here not too long ago. It was refurbished by our workforce and then towed to the position it now has, watching over the jump hole to Omicron Gamma. It was an honour to have worked on the Prox, and it will be a story to tell the grandchildren one day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483466: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Lucia Esteban (at Rhodes Shipyard in Omicron-91) .I work as one of the warehouse managers here on Rhodes. You wouldn't believe how fast we can get through a full stockpile of materials building these ships. It's my job to make sure that we never run out of resources with which the warships here are built. It's a hard job, and I blame the Zoners. It would be so much easier if they would sell us the amount of goods we desired. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483474: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Manuel Dario (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .The Brotherhood use the Prox as the regulator of traffic in and out of this system. The communications staff, of which I am a part, are responsible for allowing or disallowing shipments of goods to and from the stations in this system. It's a tedious job, but someone's got to do it. At least the food is good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483473: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Manuel Dario (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .Some say that the regulations in this system are too unfair to regular Corsairs that aren't a part of the Brotherhood. I would agree, but you never know who might be spying on us. It is an unfortunate, but a prudent move by the Brotherhood to lock down this system. Still, there are those of us who are allowed to roam freely, and that is at least, a consolation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483472: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Manuel Dario (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .I came to Omicron-91 with engine components due for delivery to Rhodes shipyard. However, apparently I don't have the correct papers and the Brotherhood won't let me pass beyond this battleship. The security in this system is too restrictive. How am I going to explain this to my boss? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483459: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Mia Bonello (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .The weapon platforms outside really pack a punch. I gave one a scan the other day, and those cannons are more like death rays. I pity the fool who gets on the wrong end of those guns, that's for sure. Hopefully though, no one will be stupid enough to invade this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483460: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Mia Bonello (at Barcelona Station in Omicron-91) .The families on Crete really need the food produced here on Barcelona. Many times, I've seen hungry families who look more like skeletons than people. That is why I've taken the liberty of purchasing a freighter and moving some of the food here to Crete. I can't sit idly by while my brothers and sisters die of starvation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483471: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Morgan Gustavo (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .I'm not sure why the Prox is still in service, even as the gatekeeper of this system. Surely it would be more prudent to completely recycle the components of this ship and use them to build newer ships? I'll be quiet now, I don't want to attract undue attention. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483470: * [Corsair Guard] Corsair Guard/Morgan Gustavo (at Battleship Prox in Omicron-91) .As a member of the Brotherhood, I really appreciate the chance to set foot on the Prox. I was only a child when it was in service, so it's a name I grew up with. Its fulfilling to know that the legend from my childhood is still in use today, and will likely still be in use in the years to come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132781: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alma Rosario (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) We sell the Artifacts directly to the Hogosha. There was a time when we went through the GMG, but it is always more profitable to cut out the middleman. I brought my Artifacts from Freeport 9. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132782: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alma Rosario (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) You are a trusted man by the Corsairs, which is not an easy thing to be. You can make a fortune selling Artifacts to the Hogosha at this base. Pick them up at the Crete to get the most money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132780: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alma Rosario (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) I passed out drunk at the observation deck bar a few nights ago -- too many of those deadly OmniStellar GulletBlasters I guess. While I was out someone stole my knife, probably some dirty tourist looking for a souvenir. Whoever took that knife is dead; it has been in my family for six generations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134320: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The Malvada Nube serves as the key adult initiation ritual within the close families of the Corsairs. Young pilots must fly a stripped ship into the cloud, find an Artifact, and return safely to Crete. Almost 30% never return. The radiation levels are high, and it is rumored that there are strange beings that guard the best areas. By tradition, a lost trainee's ship and body are never recovered, just left as a reminder to future generations of failure's cost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133251: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The Corsairs are consolidated into family lines that are brought together and strengthened by marriage. Our society is a closed one; we do not wish to dilute our blood with the seeds of weaker men. It is possible to fly with the Corsairs and to be trusted by us, but an outsider will never marry into the families of Crete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133253: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The first outsider accepted by the Corsairs was a freelancer named John Bown. He fought several of our best pilots when he entered the system, so he was able to pass. He left with a cargo bay full of Artifacts, and that is when trade began. Our economy flourished, allowing us to feed more of our people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133254: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) There were Artifacts all over Crete at one time. Most of those have been sold now, but we still find Artifacts in the Malvadas and Napo Clouds. Any Corsair could have many of the alien trinkets, but they have no function and are therefore meaningless, except for trade. Let some other fool spend his money on them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133250: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The second year after planetfall we ran out of Food. The family leaders gathered together and decided upon a course of action. The Ventru line was chosen, and they gave themselves up to be butchered. Every Corsair is a Ventru, though the line no longer lives, they are a part of us all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133249: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) We traveled to Sirius on a sleeper ship like everyone else. Our ship, the Hispania, fell victim to sabotage en route. We were forced to abandon her and make our way through the void. We found this planet with barely enough supplies to feed half of us. Few crops would grow in these infertile sands, and our numbers dwindled to almost nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133252: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Dora Moreno (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) Many think our rites of initiation are barbaric, but we can't feed, clothe, and train every Corsair born. The initiation keeps our population problems in check. At the age of sixteen every Corsair must fly into the radioactive Malvadas Cloud in an unshielded ship and return with an Artifact. Some return as they left, others become sterile, and the rest die. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133039: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Eda Soto (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) It's nice having a comfortable base from which to stage attacks on the Trade Lanes here. With all of the nebula clouds and lack of military patrols, the ships are easy targets. The Artifact run is long from Crete. We deserve a little rest and recreation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133040: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Eda Soto (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) The Corsairs would be far more numerous and powerful if we didn't have so many senseless traditions that result in the death of so many of our energetic youth. The war with the Hessians is not going well; we are losing the war of attrition. We hope that the increased food supply promised by the expansion of Freeport 9 will enable our new population growth plans to succeed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133041: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Eda Soto (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) There is a Jump Hole into Honshu in the northern end of this system just west of the Jump Gate. Beware of the oxygen pocket, though, and stay well to the west until you are even with the Gate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133246: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The Artifacts we trade in Yanagi more than pay for the Side Arms, Consumer Goods, and Fertilizers that we bring to this base on our return. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134316: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Lourdes Mendez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) There is a legend that a secret Jump Hole lies at the center of the Graveyard of the Innocents in the Malvada Cloud. A young Corsair completing his adulthood initiation rites stumbled across it while trying to find his Artifact. He entered it and emerged in an uncharted system. Strange alien ships soon appeared in the distance, and he fled for his life back to known territory. Few people believe the story. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133245: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The supplies we use to run our bases are either stolen or purchased with the money we make from selling stolen goods. The Construction Machinery here is almost all stolen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133248: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The Zoners at Freeport 5 and Freeport 9 have access to many of the supplies we use at this base. In exchange for the Oxygen and Water we have in abundance here we are able to get all manner of goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133247: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The proximity of our base Cadiz to the Trade Lanes and Bretonian space makes it a primary source of stolen goods for the Corsairs. H-Fuel, Pharmaceuticals, and Polymers are frequently shipped here from that base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133243: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) The Artifacts that end up in Manhattan usually pass through Bretonia's market first. We export Alien Artifacts to the Junker base Trafalgar. I don't suppose there would be anything to stop you from doing the same. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133241: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) If you are trying to get Alien Artifacts into Kusari space, then I recommend you travel to the Hawaii, where the Hogosha will usually take them off your hands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133240: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) Oxygen and Water are produced here in Crete. We supply all the other Corsair bases and the nearby Freeports with those necessities. Any other basic supplies must be imported or stolen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133242: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Enrique Estavez (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Bartolo Quentinilla (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Julio Gonzales (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Crete Bartender/Pedro Alonso (at Planet Crete in Omicron Gamma) There is a demand for Alien Artifacts in New Berlin. The Junkers at Yanagi will purchase our Artifacts and carry them the rest of the way into the Rheinland capitol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133259: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Syros Bartender/Quinto Revera (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) Cadiz is an important base for the Corsairs. It is one of our primary supply depots from which we receive many Commodities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133260: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) In 450 AS we captured our first ship. It was the Rheinland exploration vessel Schiller. Once we dispatched the crew the ship was ours, and more inner colony ships began to disappear. The Corsairs had begun a legacy that lasts to this day. We are pirates; we take what we need. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133258: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Syros Bartender/Quinto Revera (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) We get many different goods and basic supplies from the Freeports in nearby zones. Often times it is easier to buy what we need with Artifact income than to steal it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133255: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) The MOX that powers this base's larger ships is stolen, usually by our raiders that go into Bretonia. The police there are no threat to our pilots. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133256: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) Engine Components, Construction Machinery, and Gold are Commodities that are crucial to our ship-building operations here. They are either stolen or purchased from Trafalgar and shipped here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133257: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Battleship Fes in Omega-47) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Jorge Sanchez (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Pepe Allende (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tripoli Bartender/Raul Alfonso (at Skiros Station in Omicron Gamma) Yanagi supplies us with several essential Commodities. We get a majority of our Optronics, Side Arms, and Basic Alloys from that base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132315: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) You could run reinforcement supplies to our base in Cadiz if you want to gain favor with the Corsairs. We need H-Fuel and Engine Components there to continue fighting the Red Hessians in Omega-5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132317: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) Once we drop our Artifacts here, the fun begins. We raid the Trade Lanes here in Bretonia to supply our bases back home along the Edge Worlds. Before we discovered that we could make such a nice profit from selling the Artifacts, we lived solely by raiding. The easiest targets are here in Bretonia; police presence is a joke in this space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132318: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) Now that there has been a ban declared on Artifacts, it has been more difficult to sell as many as before, but we have compensated by raising the prices. Everyone always wants what they can't have, and now the rich fools who crave these toys will pay almost any amount for them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132316: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) Bretonia offers many tempting targets. We soon realized that we didn't need to buy the Gold from the Junkers; we could go steal it ourselves from the Mollys and IMG. Once we dispose of the local criminals, Bretonia will be ours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134285: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) The Corsair ship Caraz was making a routine Artifact smuggling run from Cadiz to Trafalgar several weeks ago, but it never arrived. Several intercepted military comms. suggest that it was damaged by an Armed Forces patrol and pursued into the Grasmere Ice Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132314: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) There are Outcasts on this base. Once they were our brothers, but that was long, long ago. Now they are just like everyone else -- targets. It's not that we don't like them, but that won't stop us from taking one of their shipments or putting them in the airlock. Somehow I doubt those masks they wear would save them from that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132313: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Laura Rumsey (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Tony Altman (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) This is the last stop for us on our Artifact run from our homeland. Maybe one day you could run Artifacts for the Corsairs. It's dangerous but pays very well. If those aren't two things that interest you then I'm wasting my time talking to you. Just make sure to stay clear of those Red Hessians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133646: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) This system is a war zone between Corsairs and Hessians. Thousands have died in the conflict. You'll find debris strewn throughout the system from destroyed ships lost to both sides. The fighting has come to a bloody stalemate, with each side looking for the one last push to topple the other's hold. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133647: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) The Omega-3 Trade Lanes are a tempting target for our raiders. That space is filled with Hessians, and the Jump Hole is an ambush point for the Hessians. But once they arrive in Omega-3, goods-laden ships traveling the Lanes between Rheinland and Bretonia are easy pickings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133644: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) Artifacts that come to this base are brought from throughout Corsair space. From here they will be shipped to Trafalgar where the Junkers will fence them to the rest of Sirius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133642: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) The Side Arms you see the Corsairs carrying at this base came from Leon. You can make money on this run. And you can always pick up a piece for yourself if you have need of a better one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133648: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) Omega-5 is the hub for all travel in this part of the Border Worlds. In this system you will find five Jump Holes that lead to Omega-3, Omega-7, Cambridge, Omega-11, and Omega-41. That's why it is so important we hold this system as Corsair space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133641: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) Many of the supplies that keep Cadiz running come from the Junkers of Trafalgar in Bretonia. Not only do we get basics, we also ship Engine Components here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133643: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) Our shipyard Tripoli requires Engine Components and Polymers from this base. There they will be crafted into the best ships in all of Sirius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133645: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cadiz Bartender/Jose Chavez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) This is the Corsair forward sector. From here we organize raiding parties that venture into Cambridge and New London to resupply our bases with stolen goods. Power is something that is taken, and we have the power to take what we wish, especially in New London. The police force there is laughable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134290: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Tim Byers (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Zoners] Zoners/ Art Gattis (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Red Hessians] Red Hessians/ Lukas Krause (at Ronneburg Base in Omega-5) * [Red Hessians] Red Hessians/ Ludwig Brunnhoff (at Ronneburg Base in Omega-5) * [Red Hessians] Red Hessians/ Dietmar Bose (at Ronneburg Base in Omega-5) * [Independent Miners Guild] Independent Miners Guild/Sales Rep.

The two factions are vying for control of this critical Jump Hole crossroads in the Omega Sector. Within the area of the no-man's-land and the Hammen Hole are numerous dead ships from both sides. Most are picked clean, but there are some that may still yield some weapons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133649: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maria Benitez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Garza (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rosa Ibanez (at Cadiz Base in Omega-5) The Jump Hole to Omega-41 will take you one step closer to our home system of Omicron Gamma. There you will come upon our shipyard, Tripoli, and our home world the beloved Crete, from which the Corsairs found a place to grab onto and live. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133212: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Corfu Base in Omicron Theta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Freeport XV in Omicron-74) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron-74) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Boa Vista Station in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Porto Novo in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Pueblo Bonito in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Maris Guzman (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Josefina Ferrer (at Freeport 14 in Yukon) Felix, of my sons, was killed at Cadiz fighting the Hessians. His brother, Cesar, died during initiation. Cesar was a good pilot and a strong man, but his sensors were damaged.

Why pay for something when you can just take it, eh? They shouldn't be here anyway. This is dangerous space for anybody, even you.

The problem with the Hessians is not that they are skilled or courageous, but their numbers; kill three and five more will replace them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133171: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) This base trades in Commodities almost exclusively with other Corsair bases. The less we have to deal with outsiders the better. We get our Water and Oxygen from Crete, so this base is almost entirely free from foreign trade. The Zoners are an unwanted presence here, but we tolerate them for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133173: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) This place is mostly a rest spot for Zoners and Corsairs as they travel along the Edge Worlds. Others land here, but they have to respect our ways. Don't stay here too long or else we begin to notice that an outsider is walking a Corsair base. Once that happens you use the airlock to leave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133172: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Leon Base in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Yaren Base in Omicron Delta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Yaren Bartender/Jorge Monteagudo (at Mindelo Base in Omega-50) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Miguel Cordova (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Santiago Rivera (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Conchita Reyes (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Leon Bartender/Diego Villalobos (at Etna Base in Omicron Eta) We get some of our basic supplies from the Zoner bases in the area. If it doesn't come from the Freeports, we get it from Yanagi. Any surplus we get, such as Rheinland Side Arms or Artifacts, is sent to Cadiz. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133186: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Zoners] Zoners/Freeport 5 Bartender/Jack Phillips (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Zoners] Zoners/Freeport 5 Bartender/Jack Phillips (at Sedona Station in Baffin) We bring Artifacts to this base from Crete. It is not as lucrative a run as others, but the Zoners will find buyers for them. Either way we make our money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133188: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) The Bounty Hunters at this base are fools. Granted, we cannot attack them while they are here, but most of them will soon find themselves in Corsair ambushes when they have left the no-fighting zone that surrounds this place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133187: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) One of the Zoners here at this base fell in love with my daughter. When she told me of her love I sent her back to Crete. She can never return here. My son has gone looking for the man who dishonored my family. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133192: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) People often wonder how Corsairs can have such excellent ships when they are all pieced together from other stolen and salvaged vessels. Corsairs are masters of making something from nothing, and we have an advantage. Not all Artifacts are useless; many we recovered offered insight into the science of ship building. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133191: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) Soon I will be headed to Omega-5 to fight the Red Hessians in that part of Sirius, where it is vital that we gain control. It is every Corsair's responsibility to fly a tour of duty in the Hessian War. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133190: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) One day the Corsairs may destroy this base if we find we have no more need of it. The Zoners do not realize what kind of people we are. Death is so familiar to a Corsair that delivering it is second nature. It would trouble no Corsair to put every Zoner at this base to the sword. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133189: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Zoners] Zoners/Freeport 5 Bartender/Jack Phillips (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Zoners] Zoners/Freeport 5 Bartender/Jack Phillips (at Sedona Station in Baffin) The shipyard Tripoli requires many different Commodities to maintain production of our vessels and raiding crafts. We ship Polymers and Engine Components there from this base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133194: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) Do you know what it means when I tell you that I am a Ventru? I doubt you would understand my full meaning. Travel deeper into our worlds and perhaps then the horrible truth will make itself clear to you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133193: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Freeport 5 in Omega-41) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Rico Santini (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Flor Soto (at Sedona Station in Baffin) * [Corsairs] Corsairs/ Alberto Cordero (at Sedona Station in Baffin) Every firstborn Corsair carries the family's ancestral blade. The knife is a symbol of our struggle to live and the solidarity of each line. The blades are made from the remnants of the first ship that landed on Crete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483723: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Alicia Fierro (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .This must be the quietest place in the empire. People rarely come and go, and we're so far from any potential threats that children that grow up here can do so without fear. Of course, there are the scaremongers that try to spoil this utopia with their stories of enemies lurking in the Aegean, but I tell my kids to ignore them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483722: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Alicia Fierro (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .My daughter still lives on Crete. I can't think why. It's so much more peaceful here, and there's less risk of attack. She's rather attached to her job, though, working in the Cretian spaceport bar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483686: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Amelia Florez (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .Whew. That was fun. I just got back from a patrol on the other side of the Gamma Hole. We take regular patrols through it, mostly to ensure no bounty hunters that find the entrance to Omicron-94 live to tell of it's whereabouts. A couple of them where on the other side when we jumped. They where no match for us though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483687: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Amelia Florez (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .Seen Amorgos? It's a rocky moon that orbits Mykonos. A couple of years ago they did survey missions there, but because of something in the atmosphere all the guys went crazy. Thing is though; almost every group that returned mentioned alien ruins. I reckon there's more on that Moon than the Council of Elders want us to know about. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483710: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Carla Valdero (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .Heh. You here exploring? My advice to you is stay well away from the Aegian Nebulae. I hear the radiation there is so strong your skin begins to crumble away almost the minute you enter. There's probably worse things in there than radiation too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483711: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Carla Valdero (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .Captaining a warship requires very different skills to piloting a fighter, amigo, and a good fighter pilot might not make a good warship commander. D'you know some of the most respected and powerful Corsairs alive choose to fly fighters? There's more glory to be found in a cockpit than on a battle bridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483709: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Carla Valdero (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .D'you know we've even had Order warships roll through here? Yep. Normally they'd get repaired somewhere else, but every so often one of them gets damaged in our territory and can't make it the whole way back! I'd be lying if I told you we've never stolen any technology during these occasions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483726: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cirino DeRuiz (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .I tell you...there are alien ruins on that moon. My dad was on one of the survey missions. He still swears to this day that what he saw was real. If there are alien ruins, chances are the stories about creatures in the Aegean Nebula might be true. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483727: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Cirino DeRuiz (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .You know, if I where a trader, I know where I'd fly. There's big demand for Gold on Tripoli, and if you're careful not to give away your allegiances, you can pick up gold pretty cheaply from the Mollys in Dublin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483659: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Delos Bartender/Pedro Gonzalez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .This ship takes five days to complete a full patrol before coming back to the C6 Platform. We'll be launching again tomorrow once the engines are refuelled and the crew assignments are sorted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483661: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Delos Bartender/Pedro Gonzalez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .See that green cloud? That's what we're here for, I think. Whatever attacked those scouts afew years back, I reckon it came from in there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483660: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Delos Bartender/Pedro Gonzalez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .I wish I was back at Thira Colony with my family. Still, I know I'm protecting them by being here, with the rest of the crew, defending the system from whatever is out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483691: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Eli Benitez (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .It's been years since I was last on Crete. I never liked it much there. I mean, sure, it's the centre of the empire, but with that comes the hectic lifestyle. Here in Omicron-94 we're not plagued by foreigners, and we're miles away from the politics between the different families that always leads to trouble. My whole family moved here when I did, so I've got no reason to want to go back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483703: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Eli Benitez (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .Whatever they might say, this place ain't no shipyard. No ships bigger than a Titan have been built here. We just service and repair existing warships, like the Battleship Talos currently sitting in dry dock 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483704: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Eli Benitez (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .I'm here with the constructors building dry dock 2. It would have been finished months ago, but it's not a very high priority, and the hull panels needed to finish it keep being diverted to Tripoli to be used in building warships. By my reaconing, it's going to be a long while before it's completed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483690: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Eli Benitez (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .I bet you thought this place was ruled by the Council of Elders on Crete! Ha! You'd be wrong my friend. This entire system is controlled by the descendants of the great Corsair explorer who discovered it. O'course, they normally do as they're told by the Elders, but essentially this system has it's own government. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483664: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Felipe Cortez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .We're not supposed to drink on duty, but people did, so no alcohol is allowed onboard. If you want anything stronger than synth juice here, speak to Pedro. Crazy bastard has a still hidden in an old reactor in engineering! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483662: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Felipe Cortez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) So...where you from? Not part of the crew? Me neither, I just come here occasionally with supplies. This ship's been out here for years chasing ghosts. By rights it should have been decommissioned a decade ago. Want to know what I think? The captain set this all up to keep his command. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483663: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Felipe Cortez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .Gah. Can you do me a favour and get the barman to darken the windows? That sunlight's blinding me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483708: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Isidro Benitez (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .I've fixed up enough gunboats to have a pretty good idea of how they work amigo. A gunboat's power-plant is rarely sufficient to allow all it's guns to fire simultaneously for very long. You gotta group them! Some turrets work better against fighters, some against other warships. Keep these seperate, and your power plant will last. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483707: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Isidro Benitez (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .Gah...I don't think dry dock-2 will ever be finished. Just as we manage to secure a shipment of hull panels, which we need to complete the project, the supplies get diverted to Tripoli Shipyard to be used in warship construction. We're told that "that has to be the priority". Meanwhile, my workmen spend week after week sitting on their hands waiting for supplies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483668: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Julio Benitez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .The sun? Don't be ridiculous. No, this ship runs on H-Fuel made with hydrogen scooped up from Mykonos. It's brought from there to the Refuelling Platform, and then picked up every time we stop between our patrols. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483669: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Julio Benitez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .You know, I'm sick of this place. Paroling back and forth along a dead frontier is no life for a true corsair. I'd rather be out there on the front line battling Bounty Hunters and Hessians, rather than on this old ship chasing sensor ghosts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483670: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Julio Benitez (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .My brother was part of the reckon group that where attacked. He managed to get back alive, but could never fly again. My brother's no liar; something IS outhere, even if most of the crew no longer believe it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483725: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Lisa Benitez (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .The Santorini Asteroid Belt is considered by many Corsairs to be a wonder of Sirius. Thin belts made up of dust are common, but none quite compare to this; a belt that a station can hide comfortably within and still be almost un-detectable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483728: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Lisa Benitez (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) Corsair weaponry is some of the best around, and the "Del Cid" weapons are a great example. The Colada Del Cid is the most powerful shield-killer I've ever seen in my career mounted on a fighter, but here's a secret; two Tizona Del Cids are together more energy efficient and more powerful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483665: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Lucio Veles (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .I just got back from the Refuelling Platform. The crew take it in turns to man the platform for five days at a time. Trust me; five days in that hell hole was plenty. You come back with muscle cramps and stinking like death. It's hot as hell in there and there's barely enough space to move around. Still, at least I won't have to go back for at least another 3 months. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483667: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Lucio Veles (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .Don't listen to all the sceptics. I've seen the enemies with my own eyes. It's a damn good thing we're out here, or I'm sure they'd overthrow the system. I reacon they fear the Delos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483666: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Lucio Veles (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .Gonzalez told me he saw something a few patrols back, at the edge of the Nebula. Then again, Gonzalez is a little off his head. Probably just a wisp of cloud caught in a gravity well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483671: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Martina Diaz (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .You ever been on one of those Legate Dreadnaughts? I did once. My god, they're huge. Go to the Front Turret control area and you can't even hear the engines. I've always preferred the Delos though. After so long working in engineering, it feels like home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483673: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Martina Diaz (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .I tell you, the day the Delos leaves the Omicron-94 frontier is the day that whatever lurks beyond will overthrow this system. We stay here, and the people living at Thira remain safe. The minute the Delos is called back to Tripoli, the entire system will be in danger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483674: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Martina Diaz (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .I got a message from the duty officer today. I'll be part of the next team manning the Refuelling Platform. It's gonna be awesome. We're each gonna smuggle in a couple of bottles of Pedro's bootleg brews. 5 uninterrupted days of getting whasted, and we'll be getting paid double for it too! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483672: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Martina Diaz (at Battleship Delos in Omicron-94) .Spoken to any of those idiots who still believe there are dangers out here? We've been patrolling this frontier for years, and I haven't heard of any encounters. Let's face it; this is all an excuse to keep the Delos from being sold for scrap. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483684: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Pepe Valencia (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .We must have the best jobs in the empire. My amigos and I work up in the Satellite Reception room. Every day we go up there, play cards and drink while the satellite receiver clicks away. Occasionally we're interrupted by an alarm as something shows up on one of the sensors, but it's normally just comets or the like. I've only had to notify the Delos of a sensor disturbance twice, and both times they didn't find anything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483685: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Pepe Valencia (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .Joey takes cardamine. Says he likes the buzz. Gotta say I can't imagine what kind of Corsair would take the Outcast drug. If he wasn't my amigo I'd definately report him. Hopefully I can get him into Synth Ganja or something instead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483705: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Roco Valenz (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .After being serviced here, ships normally do a last-minute weapons test by firing all turrets at Naxos. It's a useless ball of rock, but they've made a bit of mess of it anyway. I don't think the Gaians would approve. Luckily they don't know about this place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483689: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Roco Valenz (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .Back before I came to work here, I used to work as a co-pilot on a smuggler train. We'd haul Artifacts all the way to Liberty. Back in those days, you could make a hefty profit on the way back too; for a reasonable fee we used to rent out space in the cargo hold and smuggle migrants from Liberty all the way to Munich. It was a great route, because there's an arms factory on Nuremberg. We'd fill the hold with Rhineland Blaster Rifles and then take them all the way back to Crete. I made a fairly good wage, though it was my boss that made the big bucks from it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483688: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Roco Valenz (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .Ever seen a Praetorian Bomber in action? Ever flown one? Back when I was younger, I co-piloted one of them. I remember firing the torpedo launcher while my hermano would handle all the manoeuvres. It's a great feeling to pull the trigger and watch a Hunter Gunboat's cockpit decompress. Those where the days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483706: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Roco Valenz (at Syros Shipyard in Omicron-94) .I'm part of the team that scoops gas from Mykonos so it can be processed here to produce breathable atmosphere and hydrogen fuel. The planet doesn't supply enough fuel for the whole fleet; just enough to keep the Delos running, along with afew small patrol groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483720: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Thira Bartender/Hector Zargoza (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .Santorini's a pretty unstable planet. Every so often when you look out you can see eruptions on the surface. Some are quite impressive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483721: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Thira Bartender/Hector Zargoza (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .You think this place is big? You have no idea, amigo. We've only used a tiny portion of this planetoid so far. There's just so much room to expand if we ever need to! This place has loads of potential. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483724: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Thomas Valdez (at Thira Colony in Omicron-94) .Have you been to the hydroponics room? It's beautiful; a garden hidden within a cavern. One day, perhaps, we will build biodomes like the Zoner ones at Freeport 9. Of course, it would be easier if those swine shared the technology with us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483682: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tinos Bartender/Marcos Vellejo (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .This place is basicly a relay station. Every transmission going between Omicron-94 and Omicron Gamma passes through here, and if they're not encrypted, we're at liberty to read them. Let me tell you, there's plenty going on in this system that most guys aren't told about. I won't go into details; the commandante'd have my head. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #483683: * [Corsairs] Corsairs/Tinos Bartender/Marcos Vellejo (at Tinos Outpost in Omicron-94) .See those guys over there? They're on leave from the Delos. Loads of guys from that Battleship come to spend their off-days here because our bar serves proper alcohol; rather than that vile bootleg stuff a few guys make there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132043: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Benjamin Clark (at Planet Houston in Texas) From Ft. Bush and Denver we bring Pharmaceuticals to this base. From that point on Universal and Republican ship our medical goods throughout Liberty and the rest of Sirius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132044: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Benjamin Clark (at Planet Houston in Texas) It is a good thing that we do not have to spend much time within this system, since it is filled with all manner of scum. Other shipping companies take over and ship our Pharmaceuticals from here, leaving them with the risk of piracy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132045: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Benjamin Clark (at Planet Houston in Texas) The Outcasts bring their dreaded Cardamine to this system and then on to New York. At Cryer we are working on a synthetic form of Cardamine that will not lower worker productivity and will be relatively non-addictive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132477: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Jared Goorney (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) I'm taking a breather from the rigors of life in the confines of the Cambridge Research Station. I plan to spend my entire trip lying on the equatorial beaches of Gaia. The binary stars of this system produce some spectacular light shows during the sunrises and sunsets -- simply amazing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132478: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Jared Goorney (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) The researchers down on Gaia don't even want us tourists there. They say we introduce alien viruses and diseases to the indigenous animal population. It's been an ongoing dispute between Cambridge University and Orbital Spa. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132479: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Jared Goorney (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) We're doing all sorts of crazy research back in Cambridge. They keep bringing in those Alien Organisms, and you have to be very careful with them. Management is hoping to find one that can help us unlock the mysteries of Cardamine, but I'm not sure why they want to do that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131684: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Matt Solomon (at Planet Denver in Colorado) We just arrived from Los Angeles with a load of Hydrocarbons and Polymers for Pharmaceutical production. Thought I'd catch a drink before headin' back out. At least Liberty is relatively safe. Some of our research stations are way out there, in harm's way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131682: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Matt Solomon (at Planet Denver in Colorado) Denver is home to Cryer's headquarters and largest drug-production facility. We distribute the Pharmaceuticals ourselves within Liberty to Houston, Manhattan, and Los Angeles, but lack the advanced ships to risk the Independent World crossings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131683: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Matt Solomon (at Planet Denver in Colorado) We have several other research and limited-production bases. One is out in Sigma-17. Rough area, that is. Outcasts and Corsairs. Company pays very well out there -- takes out big life insurance policies on anyone that gets assigned. They prefer single types.-- less to pay out, you know. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132554: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) We are not allowed to land on any planet inhabited by Alien Organisms that we use for our research purposes here, so we have to ship them from the Glasgow Outpost in Leeds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132553: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) There is a special secret lab that I'm not supposed to talk about. That's where all Organisms first go when they arrive. The scientists verify whether the particular strain has been characterized before releasing it to the rest of the researchers in the station. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132552: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) Cryer is the sole Pharmaceutical producer remaining in the Sirius Sector. We closely guard our secrets here. We feel that we charge very reasonable prices for our products, given the lack of competition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132555: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) Cambridge Research Station was created to provide a stimulating research and development environment in zero-g and to enable us to study the Organisms from the Edge Nebula. These opportunities were unavailable on our planetside locations due to the Alien Import Prohibition Act of 500 AS, which prohibits the importing of any Alien Organism onto inhabited planets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132556: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) Cryer is trying to synthetically derive Cardamine from the Alien Organisms. Cardamine is naturally harvested by the Outcasts within the Omicron systems of the Edge Nebula. If Cryer can reproduce it here, but in a milder and more socially acceptable form, then all the Cardamine addicts in Sirius will be able to switch to our legal version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132558: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) Our efforts to synthesize Cardamine have not gone unnoticed by the Outcasts. The Atka Research Station in Sigma-17 is under constant attack. We definitely have a dangerous criminal enemy, which has led management to suspend direct shipments outside of Liberty unless Outcast activity is minimal along the route. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132551: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) This station gets all of its basic supplies from Cambridge. We ship the Pharmaceuticals produced here either to Cambridge or directly to New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132559: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) The zero-g production environment has enabled us to produce many exotic drugs not possible planetside. It also aids in researching diseases peculiar to space-dwelling humans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132557: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Stephan Key (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Nigel Booth (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ David Bond (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Cambridge Research Station Bartender/RBT-117 (at Cambridge Research Station in Cambridge) One focus of the zero-g research here is to improve drugs for those workers and travelers that frequently must exist in both environments concurrently, such as the police, military, and other pilots of small spacecraft that lack the aid of artificial gravity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131555: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Tim Gellar (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) This is THE place for Liberty executives like me to take vacations. You can do a lot of networking here if you want, or you can just sit back and enjoy the good life by the pool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131553: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Tim Gellar (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I've come here every year for the past decade; I love this place. You have to try the undersea trip. If you're lucky, you might see one of the giant norfins. They're scary at first, but the sub is well equipped to defend itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131554: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Tim Gellar (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) I work on the Cambridge Research Station -- a long ways from Liberty and this place. It gets kind of crazy in there after a couple of months of zero-g. Cambridge is nice to visit, but it ain't like good 'ole Liberty, folks. Much better food here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131204: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Captain Will Thrift (at Planet Manhattan in New York) With all that Cryer does to make the people of Sirius healthy and safe it still appalls me to see those poor Cardamine junkies dying in plain view. One day soon Cryer will make a synthetic Cardamine that isn't addictive or harmful. Cryer is dedicated to a healthy and fun lifestyle that doesn't reduce worker productivity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131203: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Captain Will Thrift (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Cryer Pharmaceuticals arrive in Manhattan from our primary production facility in Denver. From here they are shipped into California towards Los Angeles. Most of the time we don't encounter too much difficulty. We fight off the Rogues occasionally, but that just comes with shipping in Liberty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131202: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Captain Will Thrift (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Cryer fights everyday to push back the tide of nature and prolong the lives of the good people of Liberty. That's why our vessels run twenty-four hours a day delivering much needed Pharmaceuticals to everyone in Sirius space. People are always going to be sick; it's part of nature's cycle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131813: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Brandon Hall (at Fort Bush in New York) I realize that people become desperate for medical supplies when they are sick, or one of their loved ones is injured, but that does not justify the piracy of Cryer goods. I mean, if you can't afford to buy medicines, should you really be living anyway? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131814: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Brandon Hall (at Fort Bush in New York) This is Cryer's main southern Liberty distribution point for our Pharmaceuticals produced in Denver. We transfer the cargo to ships bound for Los Angeles and Houston here. Cryer doesn't handle large drug shipments across Independent or Border World space. We let the shipping companies deal with that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131812: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Brandon Hall (at Fort Bush in New York) At Cryer, we feel your health is our top priority. That's why we're shipping our Pharmaceuticals throughout Sirius around the clock. From hypo-sprays to bionic eye replacements, Cryer is ensuring a healthier life for everyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132752: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Dan Maxwell (at Planet Kurile in Sigma-17) There is a connection between the Cardamine and the Alien Organisms used for fish farming and terraforming. If Cryer could figure out the link, then we could come closer to synthesizing our own Cardamine. So far we haven't had any luck, but Cryer is patient and persistent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132751: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Dan Maxwell (at Planet Kurile in Sigma-17) The Outcasts frequently attack our base. It makes me angry that these people live here in relative peace, barring the occasional Corsair attack. I hate these simpletons here. There is something strange about them that I can't put my finger on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132750: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Dan Maxwell (at Planet Kurile in Sigma-17) The Kurile Alien Organisms are shipped to our station in this system. They are an important part of our research, and we can always use more. We also purchase basic supplies from this base to use at our facility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131893: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Haverla (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Oscar Bowers (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) One day Liberty will rid itself of the Outcasts and its Cardamine habit. There will be much safer ways for users to feel good using future Cryer products, without funding the activities of illegals like the Rogues and Outcasts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131894: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Haverla (at Planet Los Angeles in California) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Oscar Bowers (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) Cryer transports don't handle small shipments to police and military bases. We also don't go to Cortez or Magellan. So Universal, Gateway, and Orbital Spa perform distribution duties for us in this part of Sirius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131892: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Haverla (at Planet Los Angeles in California) This is our turn-around point in Liberty. We run Pharmaceuticals from our Denver plant to Ft. Bush and Manhattan, then continue on to Los Angeles. We pick up raw materials like Hydrocarbons and Polymers that are produced in Manchester here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132767: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) The Outcasts have been exposed to Cardamine for centuries. They are the key to understanding how the drug affects human beings. If we could understand that better, we could make a less dangerous Cardamine that wouldn't interfere with worker productivity. We could then legally distribute it to the Sirius population. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132768: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Atka Bartender/Greg Swan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) Alien Organisms are flown here by our pilots from Kurile, since we are always in need of more test subjects. It is usually an easy flight unless you are unlucky enough to stumble across the Outcasts or Corsairs in this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132770: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) We keep Bounty Hunters at this base to protect our interests here. Some months ago we hired the very best to do a special job for us. We needed live Outcasts as test subjects to run experiments on. We have to do distasteful things at times to provide the people of Sirius with the finest in medical research. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132769: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) Test Subject 04227986 escaped from her containment area a few nights ago. She managed to kill several guards between the subject area and the communications center. Once inside the communications area she continued her slaughter. She wasn't discovered for twelve minutes. We were able to recapture her alive, though she injured three more of us in the process. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132766: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) Cardamine affects human beings in many ways. Aside from the narcotic powers of the drug, we believe that it also has anti-aging benefits. We are trying to develop a product that would increase the human lifespan two-fold. If we could do that, Cryer would multiply its profits overnight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132771: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Atka Bartender/Greg Swan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) We often buy Organisms that freelancers collect. They find them in Omicron Theta, and Omicron Beta. Most of them are the standard types, but you never know when a new one will come along. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134299: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) The Robert Fitzgerald was attacked by Outcasts shortly after it left Kurile with a load of Alien Organisms. A distress signal was picked up by the Atka base, but by the time fighters could scramble, distressed ship had vanished into the mists of the Kunashir Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132765: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Atka Bartender/Greg Swan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) Cryer established this base here in Sigma-17 because of its close proximity to planet Kurile and the Alien Organisms found there, which are the subject of our research. We know that there is a link between the Alien Organisms and Cardamine, because they both affect RNA and DNA molecules in the same way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132772: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. David Noonan (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Andy Owens (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/ Ted Hamilton (at Atka Research Station in Sigma-17) The Corsairs do not attack us very often, but the Outcasts are always running raids against this base. They seem determined to destroy us, which is very disconcerting. I am just a biochemist; I don't want to be caught in the middle of a war. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132539: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. John Nathaniel (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) Cryer uses Cambridge as our trans-shipment point for Pharmaceuticals produced on the station. In addition to our research activities, we supply all of Bretonia's needs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132538: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. John Nathaniel (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) We use Cambridge as a convenient supply source for the Cambridge Research Station, which is high in orbit above this planet. Hydrocarbons and Polymers are shipped from Omega-3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132540: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. John Nathaniel (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) Cambridge is a good recruiting center for Cryer. The University provides us with many eager graduates who do not want to be far from home. There is a daily work shuttle expressly for that purpose. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132168: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Steve Jones (at Planet New London in New London) Outcasts are Cryer's worst enemy. That Edge World pestilence is well established in Bretonia, especially in the northern systems of Leeds and Manchester. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132166: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Steve Jones (at Planet New London in New London) We're selling a load of Pharmaceuticals produced at the Cambridge Research Station orbiting Cambridge. Cryer produces enough at the facility to supply Bretonia and its adjacent Border Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132167: * [Cryer Pharmaceuticals] Cryer Pharmaceuticals/Dr. Steve Jones (at Planet New London in New London) We often head up to Glasgow to inspect the latest shipments of Alien Organisms arriving from Sigma-17 on Samura ships. We are always looking for new varieties to aid our research and development of new drugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133688: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Briesen Bartender/Hans Schober (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) All the basic supplies this base requires to keep running are shipped in from Freiburg -- even the Mining Machinery we use to carve the metals from the rocks. Only dependable Rheinland machinery gets the job done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133694: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) Right now, the men at the Kruger base in the Ebersfeld are doing the same thing we are: trying to figure out if they should build a major base in this system. Of course, we hire pilots to attack their operations to help them decide against it. Let's hope that is enough persuasion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133693: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Briesen Bartender/Hans Schober (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) I was doing some surveying in the Gubenfelde just south of the IMG base when I was saw a flight of Red Hessians run right into a Corsair patrol. It was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I thank good luck my ship was obscured by asteroids, and that I could watch, hidden amongst rock. They fought so fiercely, it was actually beautiful -- as if they were all artists, and death was their canvas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133690: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Briesen Bartender/Hans Schober (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) Our company is not used to being the third into a system. Usually we claim space first. Not so here, but Kruger is in its death throes and the IMG can easily be removed. Of course, if Kruger does merge with ALG they will have the backing necessary to establish control. That must be considered if we are to attempt a major investment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133695: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) I'm not some lowly miner. I'm a surveyor; my father is a higher-up in this company. If the Hessians only knew whose son was on this base, they would double their efforts to destroy Briesen. No, after this short assignment I'm headed straight to New Berlin, where I will assume command of a division. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133689: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Briesen Bartender/Hans Schober (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) Many of the men on this base are not miners, but assessment teams and surveyors. Daumann is considering the construction of a major mining facility in this system. It would be a great addition to the amount of ore we could ship to New Berlin, as well as to what we get from Dresden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133691: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) The Hessians attack our base, our miners, and our ships incessantly. My wife wanted to come with me to this base when I was assigned here. I told her she was being a fool. To come here is to risk death every day, and I will not let my family be brought here. The trip itself is dangerous, let alone staying in Omega-7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133692: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerald Stahr (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Fritz Broemel (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hartmut Delarue (at Briesen Mining Facility in Omega-7) The rodents who run Freistadt have been mining here for some time. It is unfortunate that this is so, because they have taken the best field for themselves. This will go in my report to New Berlin. I'm sure Daumann can find a way to force them out; it will not have been the first time. We are working for the greater glory of Rheinland. Sometimes bugs must be crushed underfoot to do this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133780: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) The truth is, Daumann viewed the Eighty-Years War as an excellent way to make large amounts of money in the ship-building business, which ultimately supports all our primary extraction operations. The ships lost during the War may have been costly for Rheinland, but were very profitable for the owners and shareholders of Daumann Heavy Construction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133782: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The workers in Leipzig and the Ring have always been treated as well as market conditions could justify. That is a myth spread by the Red Hessian miscreants in order to recast their acts of common piracy as part of a just political cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133781: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The Ring also houses the Oder Shipyard. It has served as headquarters for Daumann Heavy Construction since it was first built in 310 AS. Engine Components, Construction Machinery, and Side Arms are the primary products of the factories around us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133783: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) Many goods pass through the Ring on their way to distant lands. This facility serves as Daumann's transfer point for its various mining operations further afield in Dresden and the Omega systems. From here, Republican ships haul our minerals and finished goods to Kusari, Liberty, and Bretonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133784: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The industrial pollution and horrors that have been blamed on Daumann are completely groundless. The Bundschuh and other political terrorists view us as the villains of Rheinland. We have provided generations of Rheinland workers with secure jobs and decent pay. Yet they always want to work less and make more. We couldn't possibly meet their demands and still be profitable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133786: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The Ring is the terminating point for inbound Daumann transports delivering Polymers and Hydrocarbons from the base of Reugen in Omega-3. That system also contains a BMM operation producing the same materials, so it is a very competitive route. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133785: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) Daumann provides the Cobalt and High-Temperature Alloys for the Engine Components manufacturing plants from our mining and smelting operation of Leipzig, in the Dresden system. On the return trip, we will often take Bretonia-produced Niobium. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133779: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The Kusari Engine Component manufacturer Kishiro has benefited greatly from ALG's entry into the High-Temperature Alloy market. It has been difficult to compete with the cheaper Kusari imports since ALG began shipping them their raw materials. Daumann feels that ALG has betrayed the future of Rheinland industrial might for their short-term monetary gain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133778: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Gerhardt Noth (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Heinrich Ranis (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Ernst Meister (at The Ring in New Berlin) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/The Ring Bartender/Jürgen Roeser (at The Ring in New Berlin) The Ring is one of Rheinland's most famous landmarks. On a clear day, you can see it planetside on Berlin. It is positioned at the La Grange point between Potsdam and Berlin, where the gravitational attraction of the planet and moon effectively neutralize each other. That enables the Ring to maintain a stable orbit with minimal attitude and speed corrections, which would otherwise exert substantial forces on such a large structure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134178: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) Leipzig is surrounded by a sulfurous cloud that has accreted over centuries of industrial labor at this base. It is a byproduct of Daumann's works in this area. Sulfur is no longer released into space; instead it is captured and shipped as Fertilizers for Synth Foods operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134179: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) Red Hessian activity in this system is exceptionally vicious. Because they are pirates, they are plentiful in New Berlin. But because they were once Daumann employees, their attacks here are the most violent. This is where the Red Hessians began; the heart of industry, the heart of revolt. Hessians plague this system not for goods, but for revenge -- unceasing revenge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134177: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) This system has been the heart of Rheinland's industrial power since 188 AS, when the first Jump Gates were built here connecting us to New Berlin. For centuries we mined and smelted in peace; that all changed after "the Eighty." Now we are plagued by all manner of pirates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134175: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) If you have the skill and the inclination, Fort Bush in New York is always willing to purchase Dresden Copper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134172: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) This base receives its basic supplies from the capitol planet, New Berlin. Crucial to our operations here is the Mining Machinery we receive from the same source. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134174: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) Daumann's primary facility -- the Ring in New Berlin -- supplies us with our Niobium. In return, we ship them the High-Temperature Alloys and Cobalt that is produced here. If you wish to see the pride of Rheinland, you could make this run. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134180: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) This system is where the Popular Revolt began when disgruntled miners took over Leipzig Station on Von Rohe's Day in 700 AS. Before long, the revolt had spread throughout all of Rheinland, and the days of the empire where numbered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134176: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jan Wegener (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Lars Böttiger (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Hugo Leitz (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Leipzig Bartender/Lukas Neumann (at Leipzig Station in Dresden) The Oder Shipyard is the largest shipyard in all of Sirius. They are in need of our High-Temperature Alloys. If you go there, we would be happy to purchase any MOX you bring back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133708: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) This system was first explored by a great man named Van Rohe. The belt that surrounds the dying sun is named after him. That's where you are going to find the Diamonds in Omega 11. He sacrificed his life for his crew. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133707: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Solarius Bartender/RBT-147 (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) This station receives almost all of her basic supplies from Stuttgart. If you want to, you can go there and get us what we need. Maybe the Hessians won't kill you if you aren't carrying Diamonds, but I wouldn't bet on it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133709: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) Van Rohe believed the belt that shares his name to be a planet that was knocked out of orbit by the expanding sun's pull. It was shattered against its own moon. All the metals and Diamonds were cracked out of its crust, and now drift in the belt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133713: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) New miners who come here learn fast or we bounce em out. They gotta learn to listen to the flare reports and get themselves a bit of luck. Me, I carry a Red Hessians knuckle bone. Yup, we pulled a skeleton out of a dead ship in Abgrund a few years ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133712: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Solarius Bartender/RBT-147 (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) There's ghost ships all throughout Abgrund and the Van Rohe Belt. They will lure you into a pocket full of Diamonds and tempt you to stay longer than you should. You see, the dead don't like to be alone, they want company. Don't do it. Come back as fast as you can or else the sun will roast your bones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133711: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Solarius Bartender/RBT-147 (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) The Red Hessians are pure evil. It's not enough that the sun will strike you dead for not respecting him; you gotta worry about Hessians, too. I came here because I was a poor man and this work pays better than any other Daumann outfit. You'd think the Hessians would respect that, seeing as they were once just like us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133706: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Solarius Bartender/RBT-147 (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) If you don't want to fly into New Berlin for whatever reason, there's a market for Diamonds in Stuttgart. Take them to Freiburg; they'll buy Diamonds from you there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133710: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) If you want to find the Diamonds, you must cross Abgrund into the Van Rohe Belt. Once there, head south since the Diamonds closest to this base have been mined out. Don't get greedy or else a flare will kill you for staying out too long and insulting the sun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133705: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Jörg Freytag (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Volker Aubry (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Sven Bierlich (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Solarius Bartender/RBT-147 (at Solarius Station in Omega-11) If you got the guts for it, I know a way you can make a whole lot of money. Get Diamonds from this base and fly them to New Berlin. Once you're there, pick up basic supplies or Mining Machinery and bring em back here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133996: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) This is the station where the Kusari shippers must offload their products and receive ours. I don't think many Rheinlanders care to see H-Fuel brought into the heart of our Republic aboard their ships, the insult would be unbearable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133994: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) Our Boron mining facility in Holstein receives all their basic supplies from this base. You could deliver these for us if you need money. It is a very short trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133995: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rainer Bahlsen (at Ingolstadt Station in Munich) You see the Samura and Kishiro men on this base? They always have a very smug look on their faces, it makes me livid. I would enjoy killing them both. You know that Kusari and her keiretsu backed the GMG throughout the entire war, don't you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134107: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Roland Anders (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Ruegen, the Daumann operation in the Border Worlds, needs us to supply them with Mining Machinery and H-Fuel. You could be the one to help them there, if you don't fear the Border Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134108: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Roland Anders (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Our base Briesen in the Border Worlds requires basic necessities to be shipped in from this facility. The Diamonds we trade here more than pay for any supplies they may need there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134106: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Roland Anders (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Daumann's mining facility sends Diamonds to this depot on our convoys from Solarius. It is a dangerous run to make, but perhaps you are willing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133598: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rolf Bornkessel (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) The only competent Bounty Hunters in Sirius are Rheinland Hunters. For that matter, the only competent anybody in Sirius are Rheinlanders. Everyone else has gotten lucky -- like Liberty -- or cheated like the GMG and Kusari. We make the finest products, mine the meanest systems, and even have the toughest pirates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133596: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rolf Bornkessel (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) Ruegen gets her goods from this base -- some of the basics at least. The less we have to walk the corridors of this hole the better. I don't like being around insolent Bretonian scum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133597: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Rolf Bornkessel (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) Many people on Ruegen fear that Bretonia will eventually control this system. I say there isn't a chance. They are counting on colonizing Sprague once it's terraformed, then forcing us out. Have you ever heard of Planetform, Inc. ever finishing a project? No. This is Rheinland space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134204: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Thile Cämmer (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Eckert Kleckl (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) This post is so depressing; look at the faces of the men at this base. They are supposed to protect us? They look as if they expect death at any time. It makes me wonder if they know something that I don't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134203: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Thile Cämmer (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Eckert Kleckl (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) Basic supplies are shipped here by our convoys, which depart from New Berlin. It is a contract we are proud to fulfill, though the way is beset by dangerous pirates. We keep the Federal Police running with our goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134202: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Thile Cämmer (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Eckert Kleckl (at Pirna Border Station in Dresden) Daumann tries to show its appreciation for these brave men by bringing them the best in Side Arms directly from where they are produced at the Ring. From Riot Breakers to the new Daumann Shredders, these boys get the best. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134079: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Volker Von Roda (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) Daumann keeps several villas here for its top executives. I have just arrived for the first time, due to a recent promotion. This is where I'm going to really launch my career. They say that you can get more accomplished five minutes in a mud bath than in two weeks of division meetings. Too bad I had to leave my children and wife at home, they would love it here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134081: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Volker Von Roda (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) My father was a joint fitter at the Alster Shipyards. Nobody else knows this but me and his ghost. He worked triple shifts sometimes to pay my way through New Berlin University. He was on the bottom rung in Daumann; I just made VP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134080: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Volker Von Roda (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) Now that I'm getting to the top, I'm going to start playing the game by my rules. It is time for a change in Daumann, they must be made to realize that our corporation can still profit without exploiting its workers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134050: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) Our Border World operations in Solarius, are supplied to a great degree by this planet. All the basic supplies make their way there from here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134051: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) We are not safe from the Red Hessians anywhere in all of Rheinland. They have grown so numerous and widespread there is not a single Trade Lane where one of our shipments have not fallen victim to a Hessian attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134052: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Stuttgart in Stuttgart) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Anton Ohms (at Planet Nuremberg in Munich) The LWB are sensible enough not to harass Daumann too much; that is why we do not pay to have them killed by Bounty Hunters. We leave that to the Synth Foods invaders. Personally, I hope all their damn cellulose crops burn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133762: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Olaf Wiesen (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) The military shipyards always need Boron, so we do a monthly run in from Holstein, in the Frankfurt system. Daumann has a seawater salt extraction plant there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133764: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Olaf Wiesen (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) It seems like all the cargo runs into Berlin are difficult now. The Red Hessians have become too strong. Crossing Dresden is becoming a tenuous proposition, at best. Last week, two successive convoys outbound from Leipzig with High-Temperature Alloys were set upon and annihilated by Hessians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133763: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Dr. Olaf Wiesen (at Oder Shipyard in New Berlin) It is an arduous journey from Omega-3 to New Berlin. We must contend with Red Hessian attacks along the entire route. All for some simple Polymers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133734: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Benno Henning (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) At least in New Berlin, one has a reasonable amount of security provided by the Federal Police. Out in the Omega systems and Dresden, the Red Hessians are running amok. Their flame is fed by the growing legions of unemployed Rheinland workers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133733: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Benno Henning (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) Our headquarters is in the Ring, high above Berlin at the La Grange point between New Berlin and Potsdam. At least up there we never have to worry about the notorious Berlin night, which lasts upwards of a year here. It would be lifeless on this planet without the strong volcanic and geothermal activity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133732: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep. Benno Henning (at Planet New Berlin in New Berlin) Daumann buys supplies for most of our bases in Berlin. Republican does not enter Dresden or Omega-11, so we must support our own operations. I'm bound for Leipzig with Water, Pharmaceuticals, and Consumer Goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133624: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep.

Reinhold Von Biela (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Wenzel Sultzner (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rügen Bartender/Karl Hoffman (at Raubling Station in Munich) One of the chaps that works here has a brother in the Red Hessians. This should illustrate what a blood thirsty gang of murderers they are: the miners name is Scmidt, and the leader of the Hessians who attack this base is also named Schmidt. The Hessian is attacking his own brother's installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133623: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep.

Reinhold Von Biela (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Wenzel Sultzner (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rügen Bartender/Karl Hoffman (at Raubling Station in Munich) I work here in this mining operation, because I will not work in the shipyards. This place is far from the center of Rheinland. Here it is a little more lax; I work normal hours at Ruegen. Only ten hours a day, six days per week; it's a breeze compared to the Ring. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133625: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep.

Reinhold Von Biela (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/ Wenzel Sultzner (at Raubling Station in Munich) * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rügen Bartender/Karl Hoffman (at Raubling Station in Munich) You know, the only reason BMM has a base in this system is to try and take Omega-3 away from us. Sure, both governments paid for the Trade Lanes and Jump Gates here, but we were the ones who first moved in. New London only wants it now because we're here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133617: * [Daumann Heavy Construction] Daumann Heavy Construction/Rep.

We get all the basics from the Zoners at Freeport 1. I don't like to go there personally.

I have never encountered such a cluttered ecosystem. Each and every plant entangles its roots with another plant. In a lab test I planted one seedling a meter from another seedling.

The Pittsburgh Debris Field makes a nice hideout for the scum that attack my ship on my way from Pittsburgh. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131361: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Brent Wheaton (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Brent Wheaton (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) We ship Construction Machinery to this shipyard from Houston. The Outcasts staged a major assault on our convoy in Texas on this last trip. I saw two transports and three escorts go up in flames. I don't know how many died all told. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131817: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Gabriel Ogum (at Fort Bush in New York) One of these days they'll have all the Rogues in prison, and the debris fields will be gone. Then all we'll build is cruise ships, and they'll shut this place down. Yeah right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131816: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Gabriel Ogum (at Fort Bush in New York) In the old days, they didn't need Ft. Bush. We just had the Baltimore Shipyard out here. With the rise of the Rogues they had to do something. Too many ships were getting wasted right in front of our eyes. If they hadn't let that debris build up so close, there wouldn't be all the problems around here. Where there's debris, there are roaches. That's what I say. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131815: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Gabriel Ogum (at Fort Bush in New York) This is the main transfer point for our Houston-produced Construction Machinery. We ship it out to Denver. I'm heading over to the shipyard across the way for a beer in a moment. Feels more like home over there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133408: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ George Oldman (at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido) Last stop before the Kyofu Gap. If we're lucky, no one will attack us along the lonely stretch of navigational buoys that define the route to the construction site. You never where or when they'll strike. I'm hauling Jump Gate parts, since only DSE personnel are allowed to handle them. Otherwise, I'd love to let Samura handle this one for us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133409: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ George Oldman (at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido) If this is the future of DSE Trade Lane projects, I want out. I'd rather see Liberty start letting other companies shoulder more of the physical risk. This is Kusari's little dirty war. We shouldn't be stuck in the middle of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133410: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ George Oldman (at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido) It is a beautiful system up here -- very inspiring to an artist type like myself. That's one of the reasons I signed up for the Border World division. We get to see the cool places, and get paid very well, thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131205: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Kent Raffray (at Planet Manhattan in New York) The Construction Machinery you see here in Manhattan was supplied by us from our manufacturing plants in Houston. Houston supplies a large portion of Liberty's heavy machinery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131207: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Kent Raffray (at Planet Manhattan in New York) DSE is an important part of the machinery of Liberty power in Sirius, so you will see that we have adequate protection within her space. Unfortunately, many of our Trade Lane and Jump Gate construction projects are found far outside the safety of Liberty, where our affairs can often fall victim to pirates and vandals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131206: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Kent Raffray (at Planet Manhattan in New York) Here in Manhattan DSE purchase the supplies necessary to run our New York bases. We ship Water and Food to Pittsburgh, and Oxygen to Baltimore. Men die every week protecting shipments of basic supplies. I know the criminals need them too, I just can't get used to the idea of dying over a shipment of Water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133666: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) I hate working here. This is a very dangerous part of Sirius, yet the Trade Lanes and Jump Gates must be maintained. I will never understand why pirates attack us, or our rings. If they only understood that without us or the rings, the shipping they prey upon would not exist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133667: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) My job is to keep the Trade Lane Rings at this base maintained. If something goes wrong, any ship that enters might be shot off course into a planet or star or gas pocket. It's very ugly when that happens. No one survives, of course -- and DSE gets blamed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133665: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ Troy Grove (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) It was DSE that constructed this station in the first place. Sometimes one of our engineers will direct repairs that need to be done to keep Freistadt safe. It is a rather old base and without our supervision I'm sure it would become very dangerous to live here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132046: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Asst. Andy O'Brien (at Planet Houston in Texas) This base provides us with a great deal of the Construction Machinery we use in all our operations in New York. From this base we ship to Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, Ft. Bush, and our Baltimore Shipyards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132047: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Asst. Andy O'Brien (at Planet Houston in Texas) Deep Space Engineering builds all the greatest of Liberty's technological marvels. From the Jump Gates and Trade Lanes that enable high-speed travel throughout the Sirius Sector, to the luxury liners that bring her joy, we are Liberty construction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132048: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Asst. Andy O'Brien (at Planet Houston in Texas) The majority of our operations are found in New York, yet Texas is where you must come if you are looking for heavy-duty Construction Machinery. This makes us vulnerable to attacks from the pirates and thieves that litter this system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132956: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Chris Johnson (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) I'm hoping to transfer to duty in the Tau-23 area soon. It's not supposed to be much easier, but at least you aren't in the middle of some nebula with desperate Kusari terrorists fighting to the death -- although a bunch of suicidal Outcasts probably ain't much better. Guess that's why they call it hazard pay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132955: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Chris Johnson (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) I'm on a crew replacement and supply run for the Chugoku Gate. We've been burning through a lot of spare parts and Construction Machinery up there. Nothing like telling some criminals you're coming to get them by building a trillion credit Jump Gate to the middle of nowhere. We haven't even begun to build the other side of the pair. Now that's going to be a nightmare. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132957: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Chris Johnson (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) You see Golden C. out there in Hokkaido also. I guess that's where they've got their base. They are just a crazy bunch, in my opinion. Bartender, give me a shot of whiskey for the road. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132247: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Marcus Farmington (at Waterloo Station in New London) I'm here to pick up some more Trade Lane Parts for the Trade Lane construction site in Tau-23 -- a pretty ambitious project by BMM. They got the Bretonian government to foot part of the bill, all for some lousy Niobium. I hope it's worth it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132249: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Marcus Farmington (at Waterloo Station in New London) This is civilized space here. Tau-23 is some wild country. Outcasts are buzzing around like hornets out there. I watched a Skye-22 Ring crane get demolished by the Outcasts last time I was up there. They lost a lot of people on that project. That's for the thrill-seeking DSE types. Not me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132248: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Marcus Farmington (at Waterloo Station in New London) One of the company rules for as long as I can remember is that nobody touches Trade Lane or Jump Gate construction without LSF clearance. I never did figure that one out. What do they have to do with us? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133885: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Wade Knox (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) Had to send out a crew to fix the Omega-11 Gate in Stuttgart last week. Hessians got into it with a Daumann Armored Transport coming in from Solarius. The ship tried to re-enter the Gate, but was caught by the raiding party while docking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133883: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Wade Knox (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) DSE had to station a permanent repair crew in Omega-7 to deal with all of the Trade Lane ring damage that's been happening in all of the Corsair and Red Hessian attacks. We're on the supply transport just in from Freistadt. They don't bother us on the return trip, just when we have a full load. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133884: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Dr. Wade Knox (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) We do day runs to Dresden as needed to repair rings. It's a hell of a place to have Trade Lanes, I'll tell you. The system is an inferno, full of lava asteroids and hostile Hessians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131289: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The Pittsburgh Debris Field is mined out in the north, but there is still plenty of scrap in the south, and that's where you'll find the majority of Junkers who come into our fields. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131288: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Deep Space employs a large part of Liberty's labor force; some would call them the lower class. But the employees at Deep Space are not underpaid; we take good care of our people, even the miners in the boron fields. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131282: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The Trade Lane technology that Ageira uses to run its Jump Gates is its most sensitive secret. We manufacture the Trade Lanes, but the real technology, the Jump Gate engine if you will, is housed in a black box that is plugged into the Ring that we construct. Any attempt to open the box will cause it to self-destruct, and it usually takes whoever was trying to open the box with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131286: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The contracts we have with Ageira have kept Deep Space at the technical and manufacturing edge of Liberty. Every Trade Lane you use is a quality Deep Space product. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131287: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The Rogues in the area can make it difficult for us to keep our operations running smoothly. The LPI at Ft. Bush are spread too thinly in this area to interdict all the Rogue attacks on our Trade Lane. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131285: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) We ship Water and Food from Manhattan to our base here. They are basic supplies that all bases require for maintaining their populations. It's surprising how many people die trying to ship or steal the most basic things. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131284: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) This corporation is the backbone of Liberty industry. Deep Space Engineering builds luxury and prison liners, military ships, and Trade Lanes and Jump Gates under contract from Ageira. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131281: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) Though Deep Space is primarily a manufacturing firm, we do dabble in mining. And this base is an example of that since we extract Boron here. We also have a Fertilizer production facility in Houston. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131283: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The Construction Machinery we use in our mining operations here is shipped to us from Houston. There are all kinds of scumbags in Texas that make life difficult for us shippers. And once we get into New York, that doesn't mean that things necessarily get any better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131280: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Robert White (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Foreman Philip Davis (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner David Wingo (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Miner Keith Meyer (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) We ship the Boron produced here to the Baltimore Shipyard. It is a relatively short run, but that doesn't mean it's easy; Rogues come barreling out of the Pittsburgh Debris Field all the time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132839: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Rep. Jonathan Dunbar (at Tau-31 Gate Construction Site in Tau-23) The Trade Lane Parts that come to this base are shipped to us from two different bases, depending on who has what we need at the time. Sometimes we need to special order a component all the way from Waterloo in New London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132838: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Rep. Jonathan Dunbar (at Tau-31 Gate Construction Site in Tau-23) BMM is paying the bill for us to complete the Trade Lane to their mining area. The operation must be costing them a fortune considering the number of Outcast attacks on our construction sites. I'm glad I don't have to go out there and work on the Rings. I'm a desk jockey -- the guy who makes sure we ship all the right supplies to this base, plus I get danger pay. It's a good job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132837: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Rep. Jonathan Dunbar (at Tau-31 Gate Construction Site in Tau-23) The run between here and Holman isn't too bad considering what part of space you are in right now. DSE brings a lot of supplies to this base from Holman, including Trade Lane Parts and Construction Machinery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133395: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) Those Kusari types sure have lots of money and patience. The Dragons probably destroy half of the construction supplies getting here. Then they do their daily target practice on the storage depots and get most of the rest. We don't care much about the parts and machinery, as long as they keep paying us the big bucks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133393: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Harry Ruberdale/Deep Space Engineering (at Sigma-19 Gate Construction Site in Okinawa) * [Deep Space Engineering] Nick Sears/Deep Space Engineering (at Sigma-19 Gate Construction Site in Okinawa) * [Deep Space Engineering] Tanner Madhares/Deep Space Engineering (at Sigma-19 Gate Construction Site in Okinawa) So what brought you to the armpit of the universe? Never been on a Gate construction job where they lob missiles at you everyday. That's why we're an all all-volunteer force here. Work here one year and you can retire, and not in the wastelands of Houston, mind you. Nope, I'm headed to California to buy me a nice house and rub elbows with those rich folks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133398: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) Those Samura people are always snooping around. We have to keep watchful and enforce LSF and company policy. No unauthorized personnel near the black boxes or anything marked PROPERTY OF AGEIRA. Those are the rules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133394: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) I've been hearing rumors that they might shut this thing down pretty soon. Kusari government's tired of the cost overruns. I can tell you, we're tired of watching our buddies get atomized while they're out there welding. This ain't no place for civilians like us, even on hazard pay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133399: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) It's a long way up here from Houston. I saw a lot of Sirius for the first time. We stopped at Roppongi to switch crews and take on supplies before heading up to Sapporo. That's the last outpost of civilization on the other side of the Kyofu Gap. They make everyone put on special suits before crossing that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134335: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/ George Oldman (at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido) The ship Thomas Morrel was transporting Trade Lane Parts to the Chugoku Gate construction site. Shortly after crossing the Kyofu Gap, it was attacked by Blood Dragons,. The disabled Morrel drifted into an area of the Unyo Cloud perilously close to the gap. Several of the containers were offloaded to smaller ships before a radiation storm forced the salvage crew to abandon the area. Upon their return, the ship had disappeared. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133401: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) The Samura people are polite, but they keep their distance. They would prefer to do this job themselves, but Liberty's got regulations protecting our intellectual property, at least as far as Trade Lanes and Jump Gates are concerned. Keeps us in business, so I don't care. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133400: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) I have no idea how they expect us to build the other side of this Gate in Chugoku. Then we'd be in the backyard of the Dragons. Can't imagine that they'd just give up. Bunch of craziness this project is. Lot of people killed and money spent for nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133397: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) We pay top dollar for Jump Gate Parts and Construction Machinery. As you can see, we need a lot of replacement parts in case something gets accidentally vaporized by a Blood Dragon pulse cannon. IC won't insure this project; that should tell you something. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133396: * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Bill Baldwin (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Tony Bratton (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Sales Rep. Stephan Nichols (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) * [Deep Space Engineering] Deep Space Engineering/Chugoku Bartender/Gennai Kogo (at Chugoku Gate Construction Site in Hokkaido) The Samura folks just made a replacement MOX run yesterday. Last one got wasted in the cloud. We're all short timers up here -- either short time to the grave, or to paradise on the beaches of Curacao. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465707: * [Deep Space Engineering] Field Engineer/Bob Tripp (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .The plants down on the surface are a real pain! It's bad enough they grow like weeds, but when you cut them they emit this awful smell. Once you cut enough of them down and the smell gets really bad, a horde of those ferret-monkey things will come and attack you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465709: * [Deep Space Engineering] Field Engineer/Bob Tripp (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .Don't bother trying to stay on that planet at night. Those vines never stop growing and they will climb anything, including your sleeping bag or tent. A couple days ago we had to call someone from the ship to come and cut us out of our temp shelter because the vines had bound the door closed! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465708: * [Deep Space Engineering] Field Engineer/Bob Tripp (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .Some of the other engineers and me were trying to setup a field lab for the botanical survey team and got tired of trying to clear the land by hand. After 6 hours we got nowhere, and then one of the guys got a bright idea. We came back to our ship and built a "daisy cutter" bomb out of some old storage bins and H-fuel canisters. We incinerated a good 300 meters clear of vegetation with that thing. It all re-grew by mourning. Devil plants! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131290: * [Deep Space Engineering] Pittsburgh Bartender/Carlus Wesley (at Planet Pittsburgh in New York) The Junkers around Pittsburgh keep to their scrap-collecting most of the time. But don't be fooled, they do plenty of illegal trafficking, too. Scrap Metal isn't all they haul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465716: * [Deep Space Engineering] Scout Pilot/Ryan Walberg (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .I got to start being careful about entering the Barrier. I know the IMG jump hole is in there somewhere but some of the other scouts are not coming back out of there. I don't understand it, I have tailed IMG almost ten times and all they have done is try to lose me. They have never once even powered their weapons. Why are they attacking only some of the time? For that matter if they want us gone so badly why don't they attack the Armstrong itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465715: * [Deep Space Engineering] Scout Pilot/Ryan Walberg (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .I have been trying to tail the IMG transports hoping that they will lead us to the Jump Hole they use, but it is not working. If I can see them they can see me, and they have a habit of taking me for a tour of the Barrier before losing me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465717: * [Deep Space Engineering] Scout Pilot/Ryan Walberg (at Survey Vessel Armstrong in Coronado) .You're not from around here. By that I mean you are not a part of this ship or crew. Would you mind telling me where the jump hole that IMG uses is? It would certainly make my life easier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504912: * [EFL Oil & Machinery] Briancon Bartender/Christian Durand (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) .Oil is present on most of the Core Worlds in Gallia. With abundant oil supplies, we produce high-quality fuel for our engines. It might be old-fashioned and bad for the environment, but it's also cheap. Think about it: finally, almost everyone can afford a good car and never worry about the cost of fuel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504911: * [EFL Oil & Machinery] EFL/ Daniel Livarot (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) .The EFL are not present here as much as in the Core Systems. In terms of the oil trade, only Planet Nevers poses some interest to us. As far as station building is concerned, the war has put an end to our construction plans in this area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504916: * [EFL Oil & Machinery] EFL/ Honore Duparc (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) .The Junkers sometimes help us against other pirate groups, for example, warning us about an ambush. I was once flying on a transport and saw our captain handing over a case to a Junker representative. Then we changed course. I don't even want to think what could have happened if the Junker wasn't there to warn us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504913: * [EFL Oil & Machinery] EFL/ Honore Duparc (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) .EFL Oil & Machinery is one of the biggest corporations in Gallia, but we are not exactly competitors for GMS as many would think. The government controls both companies and defines which areas of the market we can operate within. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504915: * [EFL Oil & Machinery] EFL/ Jean Grisey (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) .Pirates and criminals are our enemies, and this war never ends. The Brigands are the most troublesome, due to their large numbers, but their pilots are hardly ever capable of playing as a team. If one ship is damaged or destroyed, occasionally the others will simply flee in random directions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465849: * [Farmers Alliance] Dasa Tomiaki (at Tokai Shipping Platform in Tau-42) .I pilot a transport for Samura. My ship comes here three times a week, picking up food and bringing in supplies for the Farmers on Cape Soya. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132999: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kabukicho Depot in New Tokyo) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kanagawa Depot in Tottori) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Wakasa Base in Tottori) The Kanto Field gives us a good position from which to launch attacks against incoming Synth Food convoys from Shikoku. We will be victorious and force them back to Liberty. I've heard, though, that some Alliance members are also attacking Kishiro ships, which puzzles me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132997: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kabukicho Depot in New Tokyo) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kanagawa Depot in Tottori) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Wakasa Base in Tottori) I'm on supply duty. We're to pick up our basic needs for Kagoshima, just across the Jump Hole in Kyushu. I was an unemployed farmer in Kyushu before I joined up. Samura was good to us through all the tough times -- until Synth Foods came along. Then, everything changed. Now I'm here with these criminal thugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132998: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kabukicho Depot in New Tokyo) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Kanagawa Depot in Tottori) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Hideo Yokoyama (at Wakasa Base in Tottori) * [Farmers Alliance] Kenta Onishi/Hogosha (at Kamakura Base in Okinawa) We seem to have lots of weapons and supplies. We also have very accurate information on targets that need to be hit, and they aren't always Synth Foods. I don't know where our leadership gets the information -- it is not my place to know too much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133588: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Tai Toriko (at Saga Base in Tau-42) We have been able to find many eager recruits in Kyushu. The factories are empty and the fields lay fallow in Kyushu because of the foreigners. Kishiro uses Gaijin labor at Deshima to manufacture its Consumer Goods, products that were once made by Kyushu craftsmen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133586: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Tai Toriko (at Saga Base in Tau-42) Samura has been very good to us. They built the factories in Kyushu, provided us with special Seeds and Fertilizers, and even provided special Samura Bank loans to my family. We drive a Samura XCV series personal craft, of course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133587: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) Some people say that we are just puppets of Samura. It is true that Samura financially supports our cause, and tells us whom and where to strike next. But we still can decide for ourselves if we want to continue doing this. We are all volunteers to the cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133582: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Tai Toriko (at Saga Base in Tau-42) We get all of our supplies from Kabukicho in the Kanto Field of the New Tokyo system.

Before Synth Foods was allowed into Kusari, we could charge a premium price for our Rice and Produce. Now all of the Tokyo urbanites prefer cheap Synth Paste. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133585: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Tai Toriko (at Saga Base in Tau-42) We are the unemployed farmers of the garden planet of Kyushu.

It's a good thing we have someone with much money willing to fight the foreigners. Sometimes they ask us to raid Kishiro storage depots, which is troubling. We don't see ourselves as common thieves, like the Hogosha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133590: * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmer's Alliance/Kagoshima Bartender/Yoshizumi Chiba (at Shibukawa Depot in Nagano) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Yuji Ishii (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Tsutomu Nakamura (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Farmers Alliance/ Kazuo Maeda (at Saga Base in Tau-42) * [Farmers Alliance] Tai Toriko (at Saga Base in Tau-42) We use this base to attack Synth Food convoys in Shikoku and Tokyo. There are Jump Holes near both systems. Sometimes the council of elders orders us to attack Kishiro Consumer Goods transports, or even Optical Chips. We do what we are told; that is the traditional Kusari way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465845: * [Farmers Alliance] Kei Pozi (at Saga Base in Tau-42) .It is amazing what the equipment Samura gave us can do. We can see convoys coming all the way from Tau-31. By the time a convoy gets to Kyushu, we are ready to pounce. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465847: * [Farmers Alliance] Kei Toriko (at Tokai Shipping Platform in Tau-42) .This platform orbits Miyazaki, unload goods off the heavy lifters from the planet, and pack them for transport to the rest of Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465848: * [Farmers Alliance] Mito Kamozo (at Tokai Shipping Platform in Tau-42) .Samura Heavy Industries helped us colonize Planet Miyazaki as well as build this shipping platform. We have reports Synth Foods has built secret biodomes in Tau-65, so our representatives went to Samura and lobbied for more funds. This systems development was paid for with those funds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465846: * [Farmers Alliance] Sepia Katana (at Saga Base in Tau-42) .I miss flying, all I do now is look at one of these new scanner screens, and pick out targets as they pass through the Tau's.

The constant GC and Blood Dragon attacks on Kagoshima forced our leadership to build this complex. It's loaded with all sorts of top of the line Samura equipment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465364: * [Freelancers] Barrier Gate Bartender/Chad Fox (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .If you have a vice Barriers Gate can satisfy you! Up here we have my bar and few others, down on 14 we have our red light deck, and if you are interested in losing money the Outcasts just finished turning storage area 116 into a full blown casino. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465363: * [Freelancers] Barrier Gate Bartender/Chad Fox (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .Have a glass of Honshu juice on the house.

They tolerate the smuggling through their backyard but have no interest in supporting it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465360: * [Freelancers] Barrier Gate Bartender/Chad Fox (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .Shasta is a unique place; it has to be the only trade station in Sirius that focuses on selling homemade crafts and funky crystals. What is even more surprising is that it is so busy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #465361: * [Freelancers] Barrier Gate Bartender/Chad Fox (at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado) .Stay away from Pueblo Bonito, I don't know what those Zoners do there, they just tend to get trigger happy when you get too close. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504998: * [Freelancers] Freelancer/Evelyn Oshiro (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Having a Kusari father and a Bretonian mother puts me in an awkward situation with this war. I much prefer the equality of Bretonia to the situation in Kusari, but I can't support either enough to join the military. Freelance work is much more of an adventure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504996: * [Freelancers] Freelancer/Evelyn Oshiro (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Holmfirth is a great pitstop for Freelancers travelling between Liberty and Bretonia. Particularly those of us who aren't appreciated on bases such as Sheffield. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504997: * [Freelancers] Freelancer/Evelyn Oshiro (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .This war is providing plenty of opportunities for people like myself.

Most of the Gaians were vaporized on the spot, but the Valiant, flown by Lucy Collins, escaped to the northwestern end of the system, in Outcast territory. No one has heard from her since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132321: * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) If it wasn't for the Green Front, I doubt the Gaians would be able to operate at all.

Unlike many underground operations, we are not motivated by the acquisition of money. We are a political organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for all who live in Bretonia, even our enemies, though they are too blind to see it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132319: * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) The conditions on this base are absolutely appalling. It goes against a Gaian's very nature to be surrounded by the cretinous scavengers who populate these dingy corridors. Yet we are compelled to purchase those things we need to maintain our existence at our own base in the Islay Cloud of Edinburgh: Pharmaceuticals, H-Fuel, Food, Consumer Goods, and such. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134287: * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Leo Henderson (at Trafalgar Base in New London) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Leo Henderson (at Bornholm Depot in Omega-15) * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Terry Devereux (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Leo Henderson (at Invergordon Space Port in Inverness) The Outcast ship Lorenzo was making a Cardamine run from Cali to Mactan when it was caught by a military patrol in the LD-14 Asteroid Field. It turned further into the heart of the field to escape its pursuers and stumbled into an old radioactive pocket. The crew is presumed dead, but the ship is probably still intact.

For one thing, we can legally visit Gaia. Don't worry, we know how not to disturb anything. It's those damnable tourists visiting illegally that are causing problems! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504979: * [Gaians] Gaians/Holmfirth Bartender/Steve Winchester (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Rumor has it that after the chaos that occurred back in 800 Planet Sprague is going to stay unihabited for the long haul.

Many more bounties are collected on Gaians in Manchester than Edinburgh. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504982: * [Gaians] Gaians/Holmfirth Bartender/Steve Winchester (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Many of the other Gaians are not quite sure what to make of the war. On the one hand, we are mostly Bretonian. On the other hand, Kusari is no Leeds, and we've been fighting the government for some time now. It's not an easy position to be in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504981: * [Gaians] Gaians/Holmfirth Bartender/Steve Winchester (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .A lot of our movement was opposed to the expansions here and at Skye in Newcastle. "Takes away our focus", they say. Personally, I think it just expands our possibilities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504977: * [Gaians] Gaians/Holmfirth Bartender/Steve Winchester (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Holmfirth is a convenient place. Whenever a Gaian gets sent to Newgate and released, this is their first stop. Residing here, I get to hear a lot of interesting stories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504980: * [Gaians] Gaians/Holmfirth Bartender/Steve Winchester (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .The fighting at Stokes seemed as though it would be a great victory for the Gaians. Unfortunately, the station didn't suffer much damage, and it's still pumping out smog. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525356: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .Bowex created several bases here in Newcastle, some years ago. Fools. Did they really think we wouldn't follow them? We may not have arrived here first, but we will be the last to leave. Newcastle needs to be left unsullied by human interference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525360: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .We started as a small group of students who saw how much damage the Bretonian corporations were doing to our great planets. Take a look at Leeds, if you want proof as to how they've ruined Bretonia. Yet we have been branded as terrorists. We are eco-warriors, fighting for your future! We have everyone's best interests at heart, and one day people will thank us for trying to protect their planets from exploitation and abuse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525352: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .First Gaia, and now planet Carlisle. These wretched corporations just want to despoil every planet within their grasp. Planetform Inc. is the worst of the lot.

Maybe the Green Front will be able to garner enough public support for us on New London so that we don't have to contend with the police anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132510: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Glendale Base in Lewis) The austere majesty of Gaia is cheapened by the swarms of tourists that set foot upon the planet. Orbital Spa and Cruise, though it may feign to preserve the abundance of its locales, cares for nothing more than its next credit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132516: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Glendale Base in Lewis) We bring in all of our supplies, other than our locally available Oxygen and Water, from Trafalgar. It is most ironic that the only place we can land is the despised Junker base -- guardians of filth, corruption, and the criminal element. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132514: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Rick Gould (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Glendale Base in Lewis) The terraforming gases produced at the Stokes plant in Leeds are a high-priority target for Gaian attack. It is a dangerous run because of our inability to hide for some stretches of travel through Leeds. Usually, only our best pilots make that trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132517: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Rick Gould (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Glendale Base in Lewis) Leeds is our greatest example of the ruin that mankind can wreck upon nature -- the sheer destructiveness of pure exploitation. It is also the home of the Stokes Smelter, where Terraforming Gases are produced. Fortunately, the system can be used as an access route to all of Bretonian travel because of all the smog clouds. It's ironic how we escape in the filth we are trying so hard to eradicate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132513: * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Islay Base in Edinburgh) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Alexander Farmer (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Rick Gould (at Skye Base in Newcastle) * [Gaians] Gaians/Islay Bartender/Nicholas Hammond (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Parker Glenn (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Quincy Pearce (at Glendale Base in Lewis) * [Gaians] Gaians/ Rick Portal (at Glendale Base in Lewis) Tau-31 is an important sector for the Gaians. Though terraforming operations on Harris are almost complete, they still need Alien Organisms from the Edge Nebula. The Organisms are crucial in speeding up the terraforming process, thereby making it more economically viable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504986: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) * [Gaians] Gaians/Dr. Linda Rogers (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Holmfirth is a lot less interesting than Islay when it comes to research potential. Gaia is amazing, while Wight is... well, not so much. It is good to be with likeminded people though, regardless of location. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504985: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) * [Gaians] Gaians/Dr. Linda Rogers (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .There is a peculiar bit of scenery up in Newcastle. Those stationed at Skye have been investigating, but it's slow going with all the heavy guns the Armed Forces have allocated to the area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504987: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .I just finished an interesting book on the degradation of Rheinland's Planet Stuttgart's environment. It seems Synth Foods' treatment has done a number on it. Those corporate chaps have the wrong idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504988: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Many at the Cambridge University support the Gaians' actions. Just between you and me, some of my associates take it a bit too far sometimes. The pen is mightier than the sword, afterall, isn't it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504984: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .Sometimes I think those Zoners have the right idea; Running off to live away from civilization means getting away from the smog here. I would prefer to stay and make a difference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504983: * [Gaians] Gaians/Liam Douglas (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) * [Gaians] Gaians/Dr. Linda Rogers (at Holmfirth Base in Manchester) .We modify all of our photon guns to be both more energy efficient and far cleaner than those on the civilian market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525354: * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .We create Hawks and Falcons for us to use. They have better agility than the Bloodhounds and Wolfhounds that the Mollys use, and we're better pilots too. They nearly never win a battle against us, at least when we stay fairly close to our base. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525362: * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .I heard that Planetform Inc. wants to colonise planet Carlisle. I don't know why, but I guess they're going to try soon. Apparently they have a genetically engineered protein that kills that dangerous bacterium that is lethal to humans. We need to try and stop them! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525358: * [Gaians] Gaians/Noah Pearce (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .I often despair of our cause ever being successful. You see, as our race's population expands throughout Sirius, the demand for more living and farming land will increase day by day. One day, the government will bow to the inevitable pressure to colonise and farm Gaia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525361: * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .We built this base in 784 A.S., using materials hijacked from BMM and Bowex transports. It's not much, but the station crews have a lot more living room than onboard Islay, and it's for this reason that we get quite a lot of transfers out to here. Besides the occasional Molly and Bounty Hunter attacks, this base is quite quiet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525353: * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .Someone told me that there is some unknown structure over past Scarborough. It's different. Alien. Any patrols that head over there never return. I advise you to steer clear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525357: * [Gaians] Gaians/Parker Williams (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .The original Gaian base is called Islay, in the Edinburgh system. We receive about half our supplies from them. The other half we get from raiding civilian transports. The only other Gaian base is in the Manchester system, but the jump hole is at the northern end of the west barrier nebula in this system, and the Mollys have heavy patrols around it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525359: * [Gaians] Gaians/Rick Gould (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .We have a lot of sympathy from highly placed nobles in Cambridge and New London. We get a lot of our funding from the Green Front, which is the legitimate political arm of our organisation. It's useful to have such a good income of money, but we have to make sure we don't anger our patrons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525355: * [Gaians] Gaians/Rick Gould (at Skye Base in Newcastle) .Apparently, the designers at Islay have come up with a gunboat for our own forces to use. I'm opposed to it, because it isn't very environmentally friendly, but our leaders feel they are necessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504929: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Gilbert Rowen (at Narbonne Base in Languedoc) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Gilles Feydeau (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .We steal from the rich and give to ourselves. That's my motto, and others have said its rather amoral, but so what? I mean, how can you steal anything from the poor? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504933: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Gilbert Rowen (at Valence Base in Dauphine) * [Gallic Brigands] Gallic Brigands/ Renard Duperron (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .We have somewhat complicated relationships with the other criminal groups. The war with the Corse is long over, and we do business in some areas, but we hardly ever operate together. Our relations with the Maquis has helped us to establish a profitable partnership with The Council who have since come to rely on the supplies which we smuggle through the Royal Navy blockades. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504934: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Jaques Nancy (at Narbonne Base in Languedoc) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Guy Lacan (at Montbard Base in Burgundy) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Monique Prideux (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .Who are the Junkers? And why don't the Royal Police prosecute them, despite all the illegal activities they are involved in? I'm almost certain that the Junkers have ties to the Gallic special forces, but I have no way to prove it. They might even be spying on the other unlawful groups of Gallia, although again, there is never any proof. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504931: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Martin Delaflote (at Valence Base in Dauphine) * [Gallic Brigands] Gallic Brigands/ Victor Lemercier (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [Gallic Brigands] Gallic Brigands/ Beatrice La Chene (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .Many people say that we are cruel and that we love violence. It's true, but most of us initially sought quick profits. Lust for violence comes after greed, not before it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504930: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Rene Villon (at Narbonne Base in Languedoc) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Nathalie Chardin (at Chalons-en-Champagne Station in Champagne) .Our bases are rather unreliable. The airlocks are known to be faulty, and people get sucked into space every month or so. What can I say? We just don't have enough qualified engineers or replacement parts availablefor repairs. So my advice to you is: be smart, and stay away from the airlocks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504936: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Simone Landru (at Epernay Station in Champagne) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Nathalie Chardin (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .The Junkers are shady characters with whom we sometimes trade and also occasionally kill for sport. Still, they have no choice but to trade with us. No one else has the capability to smuggle goods into the dangerous areas of Gallia like we do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504935: * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Simone Pagnol (at Montbard Base in Burgundy) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Nathalie Chardin (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .The Brigands are the most numerous pirate force in Gallia, and with the path into Sirius finally open, we will push to broaden our horizons. Bretonia, Kusari, Liberty, Rheinland. Those words promise plenty of riches. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504961: * [Gallic Brigands] Epernay Bartender/Melissa Rombaldi (at Epernay Station in Champagne) .See, people think that most Brigands are males. In fact, almost a quarter of our pilots are women. Yes, fighter pilots, don't look at me like I'm a simple bartender! Epernay is where many of us prefer to live, or at least stay for long periods of time. Our commander here is a woman too, by the way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504958: * [Gallic Brigands] Narbonne Bartender/Paul Friar (at Narbonne Base in Languedoc) .Hey, you want a drink? You are one of those guys who came here from Sirius, right? Doesn't matter much for me. I'm a pilot, you know. And I'm going to quit my bartender job soon and head into the unwary populated worlds of Sirius. They say that law enforcement there is not nearly as tight as in Gallia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504932: * [Gallic Brigands] Valence Bartender/Laurent Delerue (at Valence Base in Dauphine) * [Gallic Brigands] Gallic Brigands/ Amelie Esprit (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [Gallic Brigands] Brigands/ Nathalie Chardin (at Montmirail Base in Champagne) .The Brigands often spread many stupid rumours about themselves. The truth is that we are a bunch of professional criminals who know where the profit lies. Three quarters of the Gallic black market is under our complete control, and neither the Maquis nor the Unione Corse will be able to take it away from us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504910: * [Gallic Metal Service] Alesia Bartender/Jean-Marie Jade (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Marc Lafargue (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .My colleagues are quietly spreading rumours about our senior managers entering into deals with the Junkers in order to protect our convoys from pirates. I don't know if this is the main reason why we get less pirate attacks than the other corporations. Probably there is more to it than that, though what it might be is anyone's guess. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504905: * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Marc Lafargue (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Marc Lafargue (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .When people come to work for the GMS, they just want better pay. But we get much more. The Company becomes our family. Those who take the risks to work in space earn quite a lot as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504906: * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Marc Lafargue (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Marc Lafargue (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .Pirates and the Council? They are an annoyance to our trading convoys, but they are also aware that we are not offering as much help to the Royal Navy as the other companies do. We mind our own business, and this saves the lives of many of our pilots. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504909: * [Gallic Metal Service] Gallic Metal Service/Richard Gauguin (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) .I've been employed with the GMS since I was twenty two. Two years ago, my wife and only child were killed by a suicide bomber in a cafe. They said that the Maquis were responsible for it. I asked for a transfer into the Border Worlds, and now I'm waiting for an opportunity to find out the location of one of their bases, fill my transport with explosives, and run directly into their primary airlock. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504855: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Avallon Bartender/Olivier Delorme (at Avallon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Daniel Vasselon (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Alexis Vartan (at Battleship Embrun in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Christian Bovie (at Battleship Epinal in Lorraine) .Now that the secret of Gallia is revealed to the whole of Sirius, what will our leaders do? What will we do? I'm completely bewildered, and many of my fellow officers share similar doubts about our future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504854: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Guillestre Bartender/Nicolas Maigny (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Rocroi Bartender/Joachim Cendrars (at Battleship Rocroi in Burgundy) .The Council in Languedoc are isolated. An offensive fleet is being prepared by the Royal Navy in Dauphine, and we expect that Nimes station will be re-captured soon enough. Quillan and Montelimar might be more difficult to deal with, though. The rebels had plenty of time to prepare for a long siege and defend the mine path. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504852: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Guillestre Bartender/Nicolas Maigny (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Alexis Vartan (at Battleship Embrun in Dauphine) .Dauphine faced some of the most bloody battles of the Second Gallic War, of which the Battle for Gap is the most well-known. We thought that liberating Dauphine was a glorious victory, but only now we realized how blind we were. They gave up Dauphine only to gather their forces in Languedoc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504846: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Daniel Vasselon (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Sebastian Houdon (at Battleship Beuvray in Burgundy) .The Council accuses us of various atrocities. In fact, the Council themselves have frequently breached the rules of war by attacking civilian ships and stations, and torturing captives. I admit that we have also done such things, from time to time. War is cruel, but why does the Council need to be so hypocritical? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504845: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Daniel Vasselon (at Battleship Carcassonne in Languedoc) .The offensive from Dauphine into Languedoc was scheduled to begin, but we were too late. Breaching the mine field is a loss that we'll never be able to recover from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504847: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Daniel Vasselon (at Battleship Carcassonne in Languedoc) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Therese Godenot (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) .The failure of Languedoc's defenses was the most devastating defeat for the Navy in over 300 years. Many of our admirals will lose their posts after the military investigations have been completed. Some already have, and they certainly deserve it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504856: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Lucas Charnock (at Avallon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Battleship Beuvray in Burgundy) .The nearby Champagne system is completely under the control of the Council, and we are not yet able to re-take it, but it is only a matter of time before the resources of Marne will be exhausted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504865: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Lucas Charnock (at Luneville Guard Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Rocroi Bartender/Joachim Cendrars (at Battleship Rocroi in Burgundy) .Is it really possible to destroy the Council controlled space stations? Destroying a base, even one built in space using artificial parts, is a complex task that requires a lot of firepower of the sort only battleships or heavy transports can carry. And battleships cannot reach a base inside an asteroid field. Moreover, most bases within those fields are built inside asteroids. What can possibly destroy a large rock asteroid? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504863: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Lucas Charnock (at Luneville Guard Station in Lorraine) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Maurice Brissaud (at Battleship Chaumont in Champagne) .One of the reasons why we were not able to stop the Council from capturing the Border World systems was our command's unwillingness to reveal the true strength of the Gallic Royal Navy. When our armadas from Ile-de-France reach Languedoc, no power in the world will be able to save the Council forces there from elimination in a matter of weeks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504860: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Captain Tristran Le Vau (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Suzanne Neal (at Luneville Guard Station in Lorraine) .The traditional path to Lorraine through Champagne was blocked by the Council. To aid our fleets in Lorraine, we had to use the Jump Gate into Artois, and even the Jump Hole from Burgundy. I've heard that Sirius pilots are discouraged to use jump holes because of the dangers involved. But space travel is dangerous anyway, and securing Lorraine was of the utmost importance for us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504849: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Daniel Gouges (at Battleship Embrun in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Christian Bovie (at Battleship Rocroi in Burgundy) .The Royal Police prefers not to mess with the pirates here in the Border Worlds. It is way too much danger for them to bother with. The Navy ends up doing all the dirty work that they are paid to do. Sometimes I think that the pirates and the Police might have signed some sort of non-aggression pact. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504861: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Daniel Gouges (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Embrun Bartender/Theodore Rouiette (at Battleship Embrun in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Christian Bovie (at Battleship Rocroi in Burgundy) .The Jump Gates into our Core Worlds had been sealed to prevent the intruders from reaching our main planets. Only authorized ships are allowed to pass, and they are searched thoroughly both at the Jump Gate and at their destination point. But I'm concerned that some might be hidden too well for the authorities to find them... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504848: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Daniel Gouges (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Laure Dalle (at Battleship Carcassonne in Languedoc) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Suzanne Neal (at Battleship Epinal in Lorraine) .If Languedoc was defended as well as Lorraine, we would never have been in the position we are now. Our isolation minefield has been breached, and we'll be forced to establish relations with the other Houses. But what troubles me even more is that the Council does not prevent any unlawfuls from Sirius from entering Gallic space. As if we didn't have enough of our own pirates to deal with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504859: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Gerard Duras (at Luneville Guard Station in Lorraine) .A friend of mine works on a defensive Navy installation in Lorraine. I think it's called Luneville. He is a communications officer there, and says that they frequently get strange transmissions from the direction of the mine field. Also, he says that the Junkers are occasionally seen wandering in remote areas of the station! Can you believe that? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504864: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Gerard Duras (at Battleship Beuvray in Burgundy) .The Council stands no chance against our capital ships in open space. Their forces in Burgundy though are fighting a guerilla war of sporadic raids; ships come from asteroid fields, attack our patrols, and retreat into the fields before reinforcements arrive. Our capital ships cannot venture inside those fields, which makes Council bases there impervious to harm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504844: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Laetitia Merode (at Gap Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Laure Dalle (at Battleship Carcassonne in Languedoc) .Now the path into Sirius is open anyway, we can openly state that our military power is more than twice as large as any other Sirius House possesses. If there was a war, no one could possibly stop us from winning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504857: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Laure Dalle (at Avallon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Chateau Salins Bartender/Antoine Tapie (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Christian Bovie (at Battleship Epinal in Lorraine) .Lorraine is much better defended than Languedoc ever was. Despite numerous attempts by the Council to breach our defenses, they have always failed. None of our stations in Lorraine have ever been captured by the enemy, and it is unlikely any ever will be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504851: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Sebastian Houdon (at Battleship Beuvray in Burgundy) .The Council have turned the whole Champagne system into a pirate haven. Pirate groups openly build bases there, and the Council uses their help in defending the system. Once any of our ships enter Champagne, we've got the Maquis, Brigands and the Council acting in unison against us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504853: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Sylvie Delors (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Therese Godenot (at Battleship Guillestre in Dauphine) .I have to admit that the attack against the Languedoc defenses was brilliantly executed by the Council. They did sacrifice thousands of their pilots and soldiers to achieve their goal, but they didn't have much choice, and in the end they were victorious. Who cares about casualties? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504850: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Sylvie Delors (at Avallon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Carcassonne Bartender/Didier Ferro (at Battleship Carcassonne in Languedoc) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Battleship Beuvray in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Epinal Bartender/Gaston Laclos (at Battleship Epinal in Lorraine) .Many of our officers have defected and joined the Council. They betrayed their country in the most shameful way, and politics has nothing to do with it. I don't understand how could they even think about treason. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504862: * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Avallon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Suzanne Neal (at Battleship Rocroi in Burgundy) .Me and my fellow officers are following the reports from the Core Worlds very closely. Had there been any sightings of the newcomers' ships in Lyonnais, Berry, Orleanais, Picardie, maybe even Ile-de-France? The future of our House may depend on the security of the Core World paths right now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504875: * [Gallic Royal Police] Civilian/ Claudine Maigny (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Police] Dijon Bartender/Romain Guitry (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Sophie Ader (at Metz Station in Lorraine) .The attacks by the Brigands have gotten more and more brutal lately. The chaos caused by the war in the Border Worlds have served them well, for they are getting more and more new recruits from Marne. The damn Council doesn't do anything to stop this, and I sometimes think that it is even part of their plan, although what purpose it will serve them in the end is anyone's guess. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504878: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Marguerite Belmont (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Nevers Bartender/Jerome Honnecourt (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Olivier Blanc (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) .The Unione Corse might be less numerous compared to the other pirate groups in Gallia, but even their membership has nearly doubled in the last 15 years. Originally they were just a covert group, but now they are daring enough to attack us openly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504870: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Marguerite Belmont (at Gap Station in Dauphine) .Royal Navy officers have a nasty habit of blaming us for the rising crime rates here. Do they think that we assist criminals in any way? I'm insulted that they would ever consider such a thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504858: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Olivier Blanc (at Chateau Salins Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Navy] Royal Navy/Lt. Suzanne Neal (at Battleship Epinal in Lorraine) .Setting up the mine fields was an extremely lengthy process. It took over a hundred and fifty years to complete, and Sirius could have discovered us at any time during this period. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504877: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Yves Blundell (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Yves Blundell (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .The Maquis are terrorists, plain and simple. Their attacks are sporadic, but quite masterful and dangerous when they occur. Luckily, unlike the Unione Corse, the Maquis tend to avoid the excessive killing of civilians. They prefer to disable the ships they are raiding, not blow them up. Although this wasn't always the case, admittedly. The Maquis were originally members of the Council until they were kicked out for killing over thirty thousand people, so perhaps they learned something from that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504872: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Arthur Barras (at Metz Station in Lorraine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Metz Bartender/Vincent Belcher (at Metz Station in Lorraine) .Last year, a police officer from this station was sentenced to death for murdering someone on planet Nevers. We later heard rumours that the person he had killed was an important Unione Corse member, and that the officer had had long-term business ties with him. I wonder what the Corse member would get for killing an officer. Probably six years in a prison cell that resembles a luxury resort apartment. This job stinks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504874: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Berthe Barret (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) .The Maquis are our primary target in this system. The King is really upset with their recent actions and wants them to be dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Too bad that it requires some unnecessary risk on our part. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504876: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Marc Fallet (at Alesia Station in Burgundy) .The Brigands are now so numerous that they have become a danger even for the strongest convoys. Two officers that I was friends with were killed in an attack near Alesia last week. I am afraid for my own life. They said it'd be an easy life in the police, but boy am I a fool. There are many days when I wish I had never joined. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504868: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Michel Nerval (at Gap Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Olivier Blanc (at Metz Station in Lorraine) .Our positions in the Core Worlds are much more well-established than here. The defence of the Border Worlds heavily depends on the Navy, and we don't have much to contribute, given the military power and resources of our enemies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504867: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Michel Nerval (at Gap Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Civilian/ Alix Dewaere (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .The police forces play an important role in the current war with the Council. We are in charge of protecting many military convoys until they reach areas controlled by the Royal Navy. Also, police special forces form the front line of space station defences in case enemy marines manage to board a station. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504869: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Patricia Laclos (at Gap Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Gap Bartender/Clement Sastre (at Gap Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Olivier Blanc (at Metz Station in Lorraine) .Our Navy has the strength, but not much in the way of wisdom. Their humiliating defeat in Languedoc is something that proves my words better than anything else possibly could. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504873: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Renee Careme (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) .The Navy sometimes says that we are cowards. Fear is the mind killer, they say. You know what? Those Council freaks sacrificed thousands of their men to remove a couple dozen of mines that was all that stood between them and their ultimate goal. I openly admit that we are not ready send our officers to stop those psychos. It is suicide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504866: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Theophile Ackart (at Briancon Station in Dauphine) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Inspector Hector Darlan (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .Stations that are listed as controlled by the Police are actually under the administration of the Gallic civilian authorities. However, it's the task of the police to defend the station, preserve order and control all docking procedures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504871: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Thomas Alden (at Planet Nevers in Burgundy) * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Arthur Barras (at Metz Station in Lorraine) .Many journalists say that the police are corrupt, that they make treaties with pirates and are involved in smuggling rings. I can admit that I have contacts among the Junkers. But how can you survive in space if you haven't got some backup from a direction that your enemies don't expect? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504879: * [Gallic Royal Police] Royal Police/Sgt. Valery Braudel (at Dijon Station in Burgundy) .The Junkers are not exactly pirates, although they are heavily involved in the Gallic black market. Neither the government officials nor the pirates trust them completely, but their intermediate position grants them many benefits that they could never gain if they were allied with any one particular side. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462177: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .The Mintaka field's not as harmless as it seems. It's studded with pockets of explosive gas, and I've seen more than a few Hogosha in there. It seems they're trying to sabotage our mining efforts; there are whispers that the New Tokyo crime syndicate has been hired by Samura to confound our expansion in the region. Between you and me, I believe my fellow miners, Samura's infamous for its cutthroat business practices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462175: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .I ran afoul of a Corsair patrol while hauling Deuterium through Sigma-19. I barely made it out alive, thanks to my escorts, I lost two gunners when a missile penetrated my shields, and our escorts are never seeing home again. Protection in the Border Worlds is nearly non-existent, and the Corsairs have been upping their attacks as of late. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462174: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .I was born on Aomori Station and worked there for years, until this place opened, whereupon I requested a transfer and got posted here a few weeks after construction was finished. In the time that I have been onboard Fujisawa, I've come to love this station and it is more my home than any planet ever will be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462178: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .We have a remarkable cultural diversity here on board the Fujisawa. We've got miners from practically everywhere, even Rheinlanders, ex-Kruger workers, mainly, ancient prejudices have no place in modern business. We can't include Bretonians in our roster, though; I'd like to, but doing so would be madness in this time of strife and conflict. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462172: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .The GMG doesn't trust the Kusari government much these days. Samura Industries is always pressuring them to levy more taxes on us in an attempt to make us renew our old shipping contracts with them, but we're not stupid. Kishiro Technologies are more forward-thinking and reliable business partners, and also the more honourable of the two keiretsu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462173: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .We don't like the Hogosha, and they are not welcome at our bases. They are rumoured to have a base in the south of this system, but our patrols have as yet been unable to find it. We know that Samura hires the Hogosha to attack its rivals, and both the GMG and Kishiro have had trouble with them in the past, but we can never finger Samura with anything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462176: * [Gas Miners Guild] Fujisawa Bartender/Kunio Fujishima/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) .Transporting H-Fuel to Rheinland always makes me grin. Striking isn't it, how their glorious, rebuilt armada's just so much scrap metal without the Guild? Their battleships have massive reactors that spew forth green flame, how silent and cold they'd be if we ever chose to cut off their shipments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132799: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) The GMG has been dealing with Samura for several centuries. We are responsible for a large part of Samura's wealth, but they have not shown us the respect we deserve. It is for this reason that the GMG has entered into negotiations with Kishiro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132800: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) The Corsairs used to be our friends, but they made a very big mistake. We served as intermediaries in the Artifact trade between them and the Hogosha. Unwisely, they have decided to try and cut us out of the trade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132802: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) The GMG fought the entire Rheinland Navy and won in the 80-Years War. We are not afraid of the Corsairs even if everyone else is. They have decided to make us their enemies by cutting us out of the Artifact trade. If we see a Corsair in this system, we will attack. This is GMG space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132803: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) The Hogosha may be all powerful in Kusari space, but this is not Kusari space. When the Hogosha agreed to deal us out of the lucrative Artifact trade between them and the Corsairs, they made a powerful enemy for themselves. Samura should have intervened. The fact that they didn't shows us how little Samura respects us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134310: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) An exploratory GMG expedition consisting of the Hosho Maru and her two escorts was sent into Omicron Beta. The last communication from the three ships was garbled, but it appears that instead of finding H-Fuel, there were Alien Organisms for the taking. Soon after, a brief distress signal fragment suggests the convoy was being attacked by some unknown enemy. No further transmissions were received. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132784: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Nagate Shiotani (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) Soon a certain Corsair will be leaving this base without one of her possessions. Once she gets away from Hawaii and into open space she is going to stumble across a GMG trap. It will be most unfortunate for her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132783: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Nagate Shiotani (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) We supply this base with many basics. We also like to keep an eye on the Hogosha and Corsair dealings here. Soon they will both end up hating each other. Then the Corsairs will be forced to deal with us, and we will get their Artifacts for a much cheaper price. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132785: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Nagate Shiotani (at Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19) A Hogosha Artifacts dealer will soon turn up onboard this ship with a Corsair's knife in his back. One of our men was able to get the knife from the Corsair while she was passed out drunk. The incident will certainly put a dent in their business dealings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133301: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Takao Goto (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) People in Kusari think we are their long lost children that will return someday. We do share our genetic heritage with Honshu, but not much else. The goal of the GMG is to find an ocean planet somewhere in the mists of the Edge, with plentiful fish to reestablish our traditional way of life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133300: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Takao Goto (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) The GMG has faithfully delivered gas to Osaka for many years. And what does Samura do? They give us half the market price. We felt bound to honor the unfair agreement from many centuries ago. Soon they will pay. The GMG will insure that Hokkaido will not be theirs for many years to come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133302: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Takao Goto (at Osaka Storage Facility in Honshu) This is the primary distribution point for Naha Gas produced in Sigma-13. Ogashawa H-Fuel is shipped directly from Sigma-19 or transferred on Honshu to Kishiro transports. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134296: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Although the bulk of the Imperial Rheinland fleet was destroyed in the Battle of the Yanagi Cloud, the heavy cruiser Kassel and its escorts survived the initial slaughter. They were not so lucky with the second GMG ambush at the edge of the north oxygen pocket. The remains have since drifted into the gas area, out of reach of the salvage crews. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133343: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) This base has come under attack by the Outcasts since they discovered the Jump Hole from Sigma-19. We have attempted to patrol it, but they are fearsome fighters, blasting their way through our blockades with impunity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133345: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) Kishiro has offered us superior gas miners that could double our profits. We will abandon Samura within the next year and deliver our Gas to Kishiro exclusively, ending our centuries long agreement with the old lady of Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133342: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Daichi Inukai/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Mitsuru Makino/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Arata Ijiri/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) The Corsairs and Hogosha were once our friends and partners in the Artifact business. Then they became greedy and bypassed us to trade directly with each other. We do not forget such betrayals easily. All Hogosha and Corsairs are now shot on sight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133340: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Daichi Inukai/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Mitsuru Makino/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Arata Ijiri/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) We are searching of a planet to call home. We thought there was a possibility in the Donryu Cloud, but the twin planets are frozen gas, alas. The Outcasts have also proven very challenging in that region of space. We are now looking further inside the Edge Nebula, where our sensors have indicated another planet may lie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133339: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) Sigma-13 and 17 are the heart of GMG territory. We will defend it fiercely if threatened, as Rheinland did during the 80-Years War. The wreckage of the GMG fleet remains in Sigma-13 to this day, floating in the vacuum of the Yanagi Debris Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133346: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Aomori Bartender/Rikyu Sekozawa (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) We buy our basic supplies in Honshu. For many us, it is difficult to walk planetside, after spending our entire lives in stations that simulate half the normal gravitational force. From here it is a short journey through the Gate to Sigma-17, the site of our newest field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133014: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Naha Bartender/Okimoto Otani (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Kruger and the Rheinland Military will never be allowed to enter Sigma-13. Many sons and daughters of the GMG sacrificed their lives to fight the Rheinland invaders during the war. The GMG lost over half of its people during those dangerous times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133009: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Naha Bartender/Okimoto Otani (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Most of our Gas produced here is shipped to Osaka by Samura, although that will be changing shortly. Supplies are brought in from our Aomori base in the Honshu system. Our Kusari ancestors did not have the advantage of Jump Gates, so the journey took many months. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133007: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Naha Bartender/Okimoto Otani (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Most of the great battlefields from the 80-Years War lay scattered around this system. In 668 we decisively defeated the Rheinland Imperial Navy at the Battle of Yanagi Cloud. After 130 years, ALG and the Junkers are finally removing the hazardous ship debris from that area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133006: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Naha Bartender/Okimoto Otani (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Our ancestors are Kusari fishermen that were forced to leave Honshu in the second century, after the fishing stocks became severely depleted. They entered the Crow Nebula in search of something new to harvest. After 20 years of wandering, they found Hydrogen and Helium isotopes that were far more abundant here than anywhere else in the Sirius sector. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132798: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Ogashawa Bartender/Dosan Hama (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Kishiro also does a fair bit of gas mining here. They make the best gas mining ships, because they always had to accept mining Gases from less desirable areas. Their ships had to be more efficient to compete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132807: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Ogashawa Bartender/Dosan Hama (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) There are unexploited resources in the Donryu Cloud at the northern edge of this system but, the Outcasts guard that area fiercely. Any miners who have gone into the Donryu have not returned undamaged if at all. To venture into Omicron Beta is horribly dangerous and not often attempted; though there is an abundance of resources there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132801: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Ogashawa Bartender/Dosan Hama (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) The Outcasts in this system have made themselves quite a nuisance, because they feel that our presence here is an infringement upon their territory. We try to stay out of their way for the most part, though we used to venture into the Donryu Cloud. We soon learned that that was a mistake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132804: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Ogashawa Bartender/Dosan Hama (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Agatamori Daishi (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Hiromusi Mazawa (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Senshi Kyubei (at Gas Miner Ogashawa in Sigma-19) One of the GMG's best pilots left his patrol and pursued a fleeing Outcast fighter into the Donryu Cloud. The Hien never returned. An Outcast ambush is suspected, but no one knows. He had some very good weapons aboard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134295: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Keith Lewis (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Mark Baird (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Dean Irving (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) The Kruger gas mining area was abandoned early in the 80-Years War, almost overnight. In their haste to depart, the Kruger personnel left several cargo pods intact. As far as anyone knows, they are still out there, scattered among the debris. The south oxygen pocket has since drifted over the site, making recovery a difficult proposition at best. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133013: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) The Outcasts have entered Sigma-13 in recent times. They are quite similar to the Corsairs, yet seem to hate them as much as anyone else. They access this system through our own Jump Hole from Sigma-17. We must be more vigilant in our patrols. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133010: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) You must be careful of the oxygen pockets within Sigma-13. Many ships have stumbled unawares into these dangerous traps over the years. They are interesting phenomena created when an oxygen pocket is protected from the surrounding hydrogen-rich clouds by a shell of inert helium. When a ship enters the area, its engines emit hydrogen that reacts explosively with the surrounding oxygen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133011: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep.

Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) Samura has betrayed our trust. We made a pact with them centuries ago to simplify the sale and transport of our Gas. They have abused and exploited that agreement. Soon we will be rid of the Samura and will receive a fair market price from Kishiro for all of our H-Fuel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133008: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Rep. Keiko Matsuki (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Togama Hirata (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) We are most upset that the Corsairs have chosen to consort with the Hogosha in the Artifact trade. Our former friends have betrayed us; they are now our enemies. The Junkers give them shelter on their Yanagi base. Once the great cleanup of the debris fields is finished by ALG, we will chase them out of our territory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134297: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Sean Cooper (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Larry Mull (at Helgoland Station in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Keith Lewis (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) * [Junkers] Junkers/ Mark Baird (at Yanagi Depot in Sigma-13) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Sales Rep. Mariko Sakubara (at Sakhalin Station in Sigma-59) The great battlefield in Sigma-13 is the site of Rheinland's most shameful defeat of the 80-Years War. The entire First Fleet was reduced to smoking hulks within several hours by the GMG. In the high radiation areas, the debris is relatively untouched to this day, but salvaging it is very dangerous and unpredictable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133270: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Ichiro Ogawa (at Planet Honshu in Honshu) We buy our supplies for Aomori in Honshu. We also sell our H-Fuel produced in Naha. One day we will probably sell a lot more here, when Osaka is closed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133272: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Ichiro Ogawa (at Planet Honshu in Honshu) Honshu is our ancient homeland. I try to visit my ancestral village every chance I get. We try to maintain strong ties with our past on Honshu. After all, this is the only habitable planet that most of us have ever known. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133271: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Ichiro Ogawa (at Planet Honshu in Honshu) The Outcasts and Corsairs have entered Honshu space in recent years. This is a very troublesome development for the GMG, as the Trade Lanes through the clouds are our main arteries of commerce. The Guild is considering upgrading our shield technology to match that of the foreign invaders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133347: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) The GMG has secretly trained many of the best pilots of the Blood Dragons. We gained much valuable tactical knowledge of how to fight in the clouds of the Crow Nebula during our long war with the Rheinlanders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133341: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Daichi Inukai/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Mitsuru Makino/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Arata Ijiri/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) Sometimes Samura can be so naive. They have never understood where the Blood Dragons get their financial support. We are the silent partner; we decided to aid the fledgling movement of the Blood Dragons to exact our revenge for centuries of theft and humiliation at the hands of Samura. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134334: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) The GMG encountered a Corsair raiding party in the Chuyu Cloud a few days ago. They engaged and destroyed most of the fighters, but one heavily damaged ship escaped to the Hiryo Cloud. The GMG set up an ambush near the Sigma-13 Jump Hole, but the Corsair never arrived. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133344: * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Section Chief Junichi Sasaki (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/Chief Clerk Takao Ota (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Gas Miners Guild/ Ichiro Saito (at Aomori Station in Honshu) * [Gas Miners Guild] Daichi Inukai/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Mitsuru Makino/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Arata Ijiri/Gas Miners Guild (at Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Raiden Fukuda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Osamu Genda/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) * [Gas Miners Guild] Norio Gakusha/Gas Miners Guild (at Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa) Samura thinks that once that the government pulls back from the Chugoku Gate project that Hokkaido will finally be theirs. They are gravely mistaken. The GMG will insure that the Blood Dragons live on, and do not rest in peace until Samura abandons Hokkaido. The victory will be sweet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131896: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Alan Lester (at Planet Los Angeles in California) Just got in on a Gold run from the Hood in Dublin. Everything was fine until we got to the Barrier Cloud in Magellan. The Lane Hackers were waiting as usual -- pounced on us as soon as we entered the Trade Lane to Freeport 4. We got lucky when a Universal convoy showed up. Still lost one of my escorts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131895: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Alan Lester (at Planet Los Angeles in California) My ship has been running Beryllium into Colorado for some time now. We pick it up in Kensington, New London. That's just a way point. It gets mined in the Cambridge system. We usually stop here and pick up a load of Optical Chips for the Cambridge Consumer Goods factory on our return. Sure beats hauling Food to Freeport 4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131897: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Alan Lester (at Planet Los Angeles in California) Gateway supplies most of the IMG bases in the Sirius Sector and hauls their products to market. Take Freeport 4 in Magellan, for example. We ship them their Food, Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Goods, Engine Components, and H-Fuel. We bring Water back. Not a killer run, but it pays the bills. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132613: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) I don't even like stepping foot onto this base because the stench is overpowering. Next time I'm going to bring a breather mask. I run the Gold from this base to Liberty. Once I leave this system I have to cross the Independent Worlds, which is always a fight. The criminals always seem to know when I'm passing through, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132615: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) The last thing I want to do when I'm in this system is come up against a Corsair. They raid this system for the Gold they can swipe. I always start sweating as I'm approaching the Jump Gate out of here. If the Corsairs are gonna hit us, they will hit us there. We got jumped three runs ago. I made it out of the system with one escort, but I was too badly damaged to take the Gold to Liberty. I had to stop in New London for repairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132614: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Battleship Hood in Dublin) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Sarawak Station in Tau-44) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Jakarta Orbital Facility in Tau-39) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Bill Richmond (at Timor Mining Station in Tau-39) BMM is GS&M's parent corporation, and they are putting on the pressure to keep the Gold shipments flowing from Graves. The Mollys are making it tough for BMM to pull a large profit here. The word is that The Crown is tired of stationing one of its expensive capitol ships in Dublin on a semi-permanent basis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131854: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) Bowex will tell you that we don't have the experience or expertise to be prominent shippers of Bretonian Commodities. But the truth is they realize what a threat we are to their firm. We do the same business they do, but for less. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131856: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) I've heard that some of the Rogues in this system have been tipped off about our Gold shipments to this base, not by the Lane Hackers but by Bowex. I wouldn't put it past those corporate bastards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131855: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Baltimore Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Juneau Shipyard in Alaska) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Devin Price (at Foster Base in Cassini) Gold is brought to this base for use in wiring the ships built here. We have the pleasure of shipping it in from the Hood in Dublin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131558: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ed Fries (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) This is the only safe stop in this neck of the woods. Pretty rough on both sides in the clouds. I was stuck here once when the Trade Lane got taken down for a few days. I liked it so much that I try to come back at least once every few years with the missus. The sun's pretty hot though -- I always get burned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131557: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ed Fries (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) * [Liberty Rogues] Liberty Rogues/ Mel Jackson (at Leiden Base in Galileo) This is the best layover you get on Gateway runs. We normally don't stop here much, but when we do, it's a nonstop party. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131556: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ed Fries (at Planet Curacao in Cortez) My ship broke down in the Paloma Cloud yesterday. They're still working on it, so I've got at least another night here to burn on company time. I think I'll head down to the casino and roll the dice tonight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132364: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ernest Parker (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Ever heard the saying "Keep your head down"? Of course you have, but it doesn't seem like it would matter in a spaceship, does it? I mean either you decompress or you don't, right? No head ducking is gonna save you if the hull caves in. Well, that's what I used to think until the last run I made. Old Charles, my tail gunner, got his head taken off by a chunk of metal that blew free of a relay panel on my ship. Charlie always was a bit too tall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132362: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ernest Parker (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) In Tau-31 there is a base named Holman. That base requires Gateway to ship them Construction and Mining Machinery. If you did a few runs, then I wouldn't have to fly there so often, and maybe I could take it easy for a while. I hate flying into the Border Worlds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132363: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ernest Parker (at Planet Leeds in Leeds) Kensington buys some of the Mining Machinery produced in Leeds. It is a nice, easy run once you make it past the smog clouds and are about to hit the Jump Gates. Of course, making it past the smog clouds is the trick, isn't it? All manner of scoundrel lay in wait for you in there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133804: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harry Key (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) We're doing very well on this route since Liberty decided to use us as a secondary source of metals for their factories and smelters. Word was that they didn't trust Daumann anymore and were concerned with the Hessians shutting off the flow of Copper through Dresden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133803: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harry Key (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) Gateway and the IMG haven't had nearly the problems with the Red Hessians that Kruger and Daumann have. We try to tolerate them as much as possible, which specifically means not hiring Bounty Hunters to chase them down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133802: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harry Key (at Bonn Station in New Berlin) The Liberty folks lobbied the Rheinland government quite heavily to allow us to land here. Not quite so sure what their real intentions were, but it's been a boon for the IMG and Gateway. We haul their Copper and Silver from Omega-3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133103: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) Hauling Pharmaceuticals from Sheffield might be the easiest run that Gateway does. Sure, the pay isn't great, but I don't care as long as I have a better chance of making it home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133102: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) I ship Food and Consumer Goods to this base from Kensington. It's a living, and you only have to jump from one system away. Mollys can be quite a problem on occasion, so be careful if you try it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133101: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Sheffield Station in Manchester) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Harvey Graham (at Capetown Station in Omega-56) I hate crossing the Independent Worlds. When I signed up for the H-Fuel run from Los Angeles to here I thought it would be an adventure. I'd say it's closer to a nightmare. Gateway doesn't pay me enough to get killed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132480: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kenneth Enfield (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) They say that Gaia is what our long-lost Earth was like about 200 million years ago -- sort of like real-life time travel. There's nothing else like it in the Sirius Sector. The Kusari love it here. Don't know why they need those Bounty Hunters here, too. They're a bunch of crass working-class thugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132482: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kenneth Enfield (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) Gateway doesn't handle any Edinburgh traffic -- this is Planetform territory. I don't know why they're starting this new project. They haven't even finished Harris or California Minor yet. They should just leave this place alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132481: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kenneth Enfield (at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh) It's stressful at Gateway. Bowex lobbyists have a lock on the Bretonian government and its contracts. They've made it hard for us to expand much in Bretonia. We're hoping that the ALG and IMG partnerships will eventually allow us to control the Border World shipping business beyond the reach of Trade Lanes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131364: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Gateway ships Gold to this base from the Hood in Dublin. The Rogues' ability to sniff out the Gold convoys seems uncanny. I'm told that they get their info from the Lane Hackers, so they are the real enemy -- the ring leaders versus the attack dogs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131363: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) Even though this run is a dangerous one, we need to fulfill this contract with the Liberty Navy. When this company first began no one believed it would survive, but we grow stronger every day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131365: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Norfolk Shipyard in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Baker (at Saint Paul Base in Minnesota) The Gold shipments we bring in from Dublin are a fight all the way to this station. First we have to fight the Mollys out of Dublin. Once we hit the Independent World Trade Lanes, we have to contend with the Lane Hackers or whomever they've sold our cargo manifests to. Once we get into Liberty space, we have to fight the Rogues off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133599: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) We have a contract that keeps our convoys running between here and Dortmund. Hydrocarbons and Polymers purchased here are shipped into Rheinland. It's tough because once we clear the Corsairs, we hit Hessian space, which can be just as bad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133600: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Freeport 1 in Omega-3) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Kevin Sharp (at Aland Shipyard in Omega-3) From Kensington in New London we travel here to sell Mining Machinery to these old boys. Quite a bit of excitement, but it pays me well enough, I'd say. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132300: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Laurence Phillippe (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ryan Thompson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Jeremy Wilby (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) Just turning my ship around right now. Got in from Narita in the New Tokyo system yesterday with a load of H-Fuel. I'll head back there tomorrow with a load of Beryllium from the Cardiff mine in Cambridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132302: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Laurence Phillippe (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ryan Thompson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Jeremy Wilby (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) I'm running supplies up to the Holman Outpost. They get Consumer Goods, Pharmaceuticals, and Food. I usually pick up a couple of containers of Niobium mined from Tau-23 on the return trip. Outcasts are the main threat for us up in Tau-31. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132304: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Laurence Phillippe (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ryan Thompson (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Jeremy Wilby (at Kensington Shipping Platform in New London) We went to Leeds to pick up Mining Machinery last week. What a pit. That's what happens when you let a company like BMM go unchecked for centuries -- pure greed, with no thought of the consequences. We'll be heading on to Cardiff and eventually Freeport 1 from here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132213: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Mark Smith (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) I'm headed back out to Kensington as soon as I can. This is enemy territory as far as I'm concerned. I used to work for Bowex hauling Ship Hull Panels. We got fed up with the conservative culture and started our own thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132212: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Mark Smith (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) We don't get hassled by pirates nearly as much as our competitors do. Our allies, the IMG, get along pretty well with the Mollys and the Hessians. That's a big advantage for us in the Omega Border World Trade Lane routes to Rheinland. Of course, we still have to deal with the Corsairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132211: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Mark Smith (at Southampton Shipyard in New London) We just started shipping High-Temperature Alloys from ALG's Dortmund plant to Southampton. BMM normally doesn't give us the time of day, but they'd like to get a cheaper supplier and be less dependent on those arrogant Republican shippers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134109: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Marshall Griffin (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) From Cardiff, Gateway brings Beryllium to Rheinland. This is only a supply depot; our shipments continue on to Dortmund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134110: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Marshall Griffin (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Gateway crosses the deadly Border Worlds, bringing Gold and Niobium here from Kensington. We took some casualties in Omega 7 from Red Hessians. They hit us hard; most of our escorts got wiped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134112: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Marshall Griffin (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) The lads at Freeport 1 pay us to bring them Mining Machinery and Engine Components from this shipping hub. Strange how much people will withstand to live free of governmental control. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134111: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Marshall Griffin (at Freiburg Station in Stuttgart) Freistadt in Omega 3 is in need of our services to ship basic supplies and Mining Machinery. The chaps who live out there are crazy ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133833: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Rick Bates (at Essen Station in New Berlin) There are a lot of people at Gateway who aren't sure we should get so close to the Rheinlanders. We were doing fine with the IMG before ALG came along. Now they want to buy Kruger, which will result in a massive corporation like Daumann or Republican. We're being straight-armed by ALG into accepting their proposal, with little or no say in the matter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133832: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Rick Bates (at Essen Station in New Berlin) My ship is picking up a load of Mining Machinery to take out to the IMG operation in Omega-7. We were just over at Dortmund across the way, dropping off some copper from Freistadt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133834: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Rick Bates (at Essen Station in New Berlin) Gateway does not often deal with Kruger. But that could change soon. They say that ALG will soon acquire the remnants of this once-proud company for next to nothing. Can't say it surprises me; Kruger's been on the ropes for decades. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132543: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ronald Madden (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) From here the Trade Lanes get much more difficult. I'm heading out to the IMG base Freistadt in Omega-3. We ship Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Goods there. That's if the Hessians or Corsairs don't intercept me first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132541: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ronald Madden (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) I'm on the Kensington circuit. We usually import H-Fuel or Gold. On the outbound trip it could be Food, Pharmaceuticals, or Consumer Goods. We don't make a lot of profit, but it's a fairly safe trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132542: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Ronald Madden (at Planet Cambridge in Cambridge) We run the supplies to the IMG base Cardiff across the system. From there we pick up Beryllium for shipment to Kensington or Rheinland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132577: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Cardiff Mining Facility in Cambridge) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Minato Harbor in Tau-44) Gateway hopes to surpass Bowex someday, but that'll be a tall order with all of the aristocratic friends they have in London. IMG has the same problem with BMM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132576: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Cardiff Mining Facility in Cambridge) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Minato Harbor in Tau-44) The IMG has been good for us. We were really struggling, shipping Water and Oxygen to corporate bases and Freeports, until they selected us as their shipper of choice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132575: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Cardiff Mining Facility in Cambridge) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ Steve Barry (at Minato Harbor in Tau-44) We're unloading supplies from Cambridge, and then we'll reload with Beryllium and head for the ALG smelter in Dortmund. It should be a smooth trip once we get past the
