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.

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.

Perhaps we would have never even been appointed here if not for the privilege of studying pulsar radiation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

A quick trip -- although a little hazardous. Decent profit.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131515: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ William Gates (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) ˙Be careful in those Barrier Clouds. It's hard to see -- lots of Lane Hackers and Outcasts -- little in the way of security forces. My best friend's convoy got nailed last week at the Manchester Gate by some Lane Hackers. He was hauling Gold from Bretonia to New York -- not low-value stuff like Oxygen and Water.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131514: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ William Gates (at Freeport 4 in Magellan) ˙Mining Machinery is in demand here. We ship it in from Kensington to help our allies, the IMG.

I can't wait to get back to a civilized place like Kensington. All the beer tastes the same -- no character to it. Nothing like a good Bretonia pint with a nice head to it. I'm leaving in the morning to run a load of H-Fuel back home. At least the Outcasts don't get into that too much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132916: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ William Kenny (at Narita Outpost in New Tokyo) ˙I've been doing the Kensington-Narita run for some time now. Normally we ship in Beryllium and Gold, and then return with H-Fuel. We'd like to expand to more lucrative return cargos, but the Bretonian government has some absurd law which states that only Bowex can import those Commodities directly from Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132918: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/ William Kenny (at Narita Outpost in New Tokyo) ˙We handle the IMG Niobium shipments from Holman in Tau-31.

Ross Parker (at Holman Outpost in Tau-31) ˙Some of the Niobium that we pick up here is not hauled to Bretonia. We have a contract that requires us to ship Niobium to Narita in New Tokyo.

Ross Parker (at Holman Outpost in Tau-31) ˙The IMG gets its hands on a lot of Niobium out here. It is Gateway's responsibility to ship it back to Kensington, where it will either be used for ship building components or anodized and made into Luxury Goods.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132866: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Ross Parker (at Holman Outpost in Tau-31) ˙Most of the supplies that keep this place running are brought in from Bretonia by Gateway.

Samuel Tarry (at Newark Station in New York) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Samuel Tarry (at Toronto Station in Ontario) ˙We ship Beryllium from this base to Pueblo.

Stewart Ball (at South Shields Refinery in Newcastle) .Have you seen that enormous alien ruins in the distance? There's a huge minefield in the nebula around the ruins, but I've heard there is a way through it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133668: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) ˙One of Gateway's more lucrative runs to this base originates in Bonn. We ship Trade Lane Parts here and head back to Bonn with Silver and Copper. It can be quite dangerous since you can be attacked by two of the most vicious groups in all of Sirius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133671: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) ˙This base receives all its basic supplies from Freiburg. More than just the basic necessities; we also bring Mining Machinery and Engine Components. I fear that much of what we ship here, the IMG turns around and sells to the Red Hessians, making our jobs much more perilous.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133669: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) ˙Much of the Silver that is mined here is shipped into Bretonia.

Stewart Lock (at Freistadt Base in Omega-7) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Rep. Stewart Lock (at Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44) ˙Copper and Cobalt is shipped to Dortmund. ALG will use its smelters to turn the raw ore into workable materials. If the miners here were more ambitious, they could do the same.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133829: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. Ben Walters (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ˙We bring in most of the minerals that ALG needs for its smelters here. My ship usually hauls Beryllium or Niobium in from Kensington or Cardiff. On the return, we're running High-Temperature Alloys to Southampton. That's sure rocked the boat with Republican; they've had that little market to themselves for a very long time.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133830: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. Ben Walters (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ˙It's a good thing that they trade Polymers and Hydrocarbons on Freeport I. Otherwise ALG would have a difficult time buying any at a good price, since BMM and Daumann pretty much control those Commodities in this part of Sirius.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133831: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. Ben Walters (at Dortmund Station in New Berlin) ˙We've started running in Copper and Cobalt from the IMG base in Freistadt. That's in Omega-7. IMG gets its minerals to ALG, and we profit.

David Harris (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. David Harris (at Riverside Station in California) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. David Harris (at Hamilton Station in Ontario) ˙We'd like to break into the Trade Lane Parts-hauling business, but the Liberty government and Ageira will not allow it.

David Harris (at Pueblo Station in Colorado) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. David Harris (at Riverside Station in California) * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. David Harris (at Hamilton Station in Ontario) ˙We bring in the Beryllium to Pueblo all the way from the Cardiff mine in Cambridge, even though we have no outbound cargo here. It is a quick shot back into New York where we can fill up for the journey home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132170: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. John Brown (at Planet New London in New London) ˙Gateway is in partnership with the IMG, Bowex with BMM. Until we came along, BMM had IMG in a stranglehold since Bowex would refuse to ship their products in many cases. We've had a rough time ourselves, since Bowex has powerful government connections that insure them exclusive contracts with the Armed Forces and Police Authority. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132169: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. John Brown (at Planet New London in New London) ˙Gateway actually has very limited business on New London. We ship in Silver from our main base at Kensington by the planet Dover. Oxygen and Water are the only Commodities that London can offer us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132171: * [Gateway Shipping] Gateway Shipping/Sales Rep. John Brown (at Planet New London in New London) ˙I always feel uncomfortable here -- this is Bowex territory. You can almost feel the stuffy arrogance of this place. It reeks of the Bretonian aristocrats that won't let go of our country. BMM and Bowex -- what a pair. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475411: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Aki/Maeda (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .If you are interested in the history of Morioka base or even of our sisterhood, you would be better off asking Hisako Takahashi. She is one of our eldest Sisters and is over a hundred and seventy years old. She was here when this base was first built, and she will hopefully live to see the day when we have won our struggle and are dismantling it. You'll find her at Chanai Biodomes these days, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475410: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Aki/Maeda (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .We have operated this base for our Sisterhood for nearly a hundred and sixty years and we are proud of it. No enemy has ever set foot onboard Morioka, except as a prisoner or a corpse, and the station has only ever been attacked once, in 782 A.S. None of the attacking Hogosha vessels ever survived to report of its location, so it has remained hidden to this day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475409: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Aki/Maeda (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .It's so beautiful, isn't it? Planet Hiura, I mean. It reminds me of the sight from the viewports onboard Shinagawa station when I was a child and my father used to tell me about the miners working on the surface of Izu, trying to extract small quantities of water and other minerals. I often feel homesick whenever I see Hiura, but I know that as long as our struggle for equal rights continues, we can never go home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475402: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Arisu/Itokawa (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .We have strengthened a lot since the Chanai biodome project was completed, and also due to the Bretonian-Kusari war. The population has increased dramatically and our technology is catching up with the help of Blood Dragons. The Golden Chrysanthemums have climbed to a whole new different level. We're at the peak of our power right now, but even such advances are not enough to take on the Kusari Naval Forces in head on combat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475403: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Arisu/Itokawa (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Women have been an isolated part of the community in Kusari for centuries. That is why a whole new culture has developed. It is reflected in the rituals of the Golden Chrysanthemums community, such as Rites of Matsuda  the initiation ceremony. Did you know that Chanai is called "The village" because the partners and families of our fighters live there? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475437: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Arisu/Nakada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .We are lucky that the Outcasts stationed on Takada are of a calm, intelligent disposition. It can get much worse on Morioka base. Yesterday an Outcast had a little too much to drink and started picking on people in the bar. Three of our sisters tried to calm him down to no avail until a Blood Dragon, who walked in on the scuffle, came to our aid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475439: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Arisu/Nakada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I wish I was stationed on the Battleship Matsuda. Working here at Takada is an honourable position and of great importance, to be sure, but nothing much ever happens here. It's the same stuff, just a different day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475438: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Arisu/Nakada (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Lena Perabo often spends her time in this bar. She is an Outcast transport pilot that brings us regular Cardamine shipments. I have had a few talks with her before and she seems a decent type. She is always asking me about our culture and social life, and seems genuinely interested. She brought a new friend with her on her Cardamine run a couple days ago, by the name Kaela Chavez. This girl is pure trouble. I walked over to her and Lena to say hello when they first arrived. Kaela clammed up and left the docking bay with a scowl on her face, after I called her sister. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462067: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) Have you heard about the new additions to our weapons stockpile? Seems like that robot wasn't lying when he was bragging about 'outside suppliers'. Still, I can't stand talking to that tincan. All he talks about are his 'Cyborgs' and calling everyone 'Meat' and 'Squishy'. But, I have a new portable grenade launcher and EMP gun, so I guess he isn't all bad. He's still a prick though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133383: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Blood Dragons/ Miki Hayashi (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Kyoko Yamada (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Mariko Masami/Blood Dragons (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Rei Tanaka/Blood Dragons (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) ˙The Golden Chrysanthemums believe that they have the next emperor -- excuse me, empress of Kusari back in a corner of the living deck in the form of a seven-year-old Kyushu girl. They're teaching her everything she needs to know to run the country. Good luck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133382: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Blood Dragons/ Miki Hayashi (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Kyoko Yamada (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Mariko Masami/Blood Dragons (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Blood Dragons] Rei Tanaka/Blood Dragons (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) ˙We use Kyushu to access Shikoku, where many of our sisters and brothers are held unjustly in Fuchu prison by the government henchmen of Samura.

They are all drug addicts, which we do not approve of, but they share the passion for a new Kusari, so we help them fight the evil Samura. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133381: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Blood Dragons/ Miki Hayashi (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Kyoko Yamada (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) ˙We use Ainu as our forward base from which to launch attacks into Kyushu. The Hole lies just south of us here. Our favorite targets are the Samura transports, at least if the police aren't around. On occasion, we have made assaults on the Nansei Research Center, but that is risky with the Nagumo so close by. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133379: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Blood Dragons/ Miki Hayashi (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Kyoko Yamada (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) ˙This is the fastest route for us to access Kyushu and Shikoku, but we must cross the Gap and dodge the military patrols in the Kayo Cloud. It has been a difficult battle, but I believe we will be victorious soon. Samura and the military will declare victory and abandon that absurd Gate project. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133380: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Blood Dragons/ Miki Hayashi (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Blood Dragons] Blood Dragons/ Kyoko Yamada (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) ˙Our base is in Chugoku, through the Jump Hole in the Kayo Cloud. If you want to bring us supplies, there is good money to be made. We especially need Pharmaceuticals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475424: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Charles/Worthington (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Have you ever been to planet Leeds? This place isn't half bad after you've been there. I know Morioka is a space station, but honestly, Leeds is so polluted it isn't even funny. When they say acid rain, they mean it. Stay away from Leeds if you want to have a happy, healthy life. At least here you're not inhaling countless toxins with each breath. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475421: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Charles/Worthington (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .My wife and two children were killed on Glasgow Outpost during a Kusari Navy foray into Leeds, when a stray firestalker missile slammed into the station. I swore revenge, but the Bretonian Armed Forces wouldn't take me, they have war rules and all of that and I didn't want them to be sued by the military court for whatever I'm going to do next. One of my friends got me in touch with the Golden Chrysanthemums, who eventually transported me out here on one of their undercover transports. I know they are comprised mostly of women, but this wouldn't be the first time a man has joined them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475423: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Charles/Worthington (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .I know that I will have to start using Cardamine to fit in. It is inevitable, but if such is the price of revenge then I am ready to pay it. Soon the blood of the Kusari Navy will spill. I'm no bloodthirsty maniac, but joining Golden Chrysanthemums' just seems like the next logical step to take. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475422: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Charles/Worthington (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .It has been a while since I arrived, but I have received no confirmation to my humble application yet. Sooner or later someone will come by and take me to Takada Shipyard for arming. Most of the Golden Chrysanthemums don't really like taking men to their cause, but they are willing to give them a chance. Besides, they need me as much as I need them now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475429: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Chiemi/Miyazaki (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Planet Kitahara is in many ways common to Malta, which has grown countless tons of Cardamine every year for centuries, but adopting the orange culture here seems far more difficult than expected. There were some experimental plantations, but efforts proved to be almost futile as the grass produced only a small harvest of the drug. Cardamine grown here seems to be of lesser quality and also contains some previously uncalculated side effects. Kawada Research Complex has inched closer to eliminating these side effects, but for now the situation remains uncertain. I don't know if the research will ever be completed though, as the Outcasts are starting to protest against growing Cardamine off Malta. I guess they really don't want to lose their monopoly on the market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475431: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Chiemi/Miyazaki (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Takada Shipyard is yet another sign of independence for our Sisterhood. With many of us showing an interest in what were typically male dominated arenas, such as engineering and computer technicians, it's only a matter of time before we get an independent source of ship repair and construction. At the present our allies are required for some of the things we simply cannot do ourselves. A few willing sisters are at Chanai, learning various things about engineering that will greatly help us in the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475430: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Chiemi/Miyazaki (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I do not think much of the Outcasts around here. They bring the Cardamine in and we buy it and ship it around Kusari, that's all that there is to it. They are great fighters, for sure, but if it was up to me I would try to harness Cardamine on Kitahara. That would reduce the influence of the Outcasts in the region and provide a cheaper source of the drug. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475477: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eiko/Kawada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Chrysanthemums come and leave Chanai, but most can never afford to stay here for too long, due to our never ending efforts against the Kusari Navy. Only older, veteran women live and retire here. The veterans watch after the local population and run the medical facilities, while most elders spend their retirement teaching the children in our schools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475475: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eiko/Kawada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Chanai is called "The village" within our community, because that is where our families live. Golden Chrysanthemums are mostly women, but our families reside here in safety. When Golden Chrysanthemums take off after visiting their relatives, they usually leave their husbands and children behind. Sometimes the men fight also, but most of them occupy other positions such as engineers and station security. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475476: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eiko/Kawada (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Blood dragons addicted to Cardamine are forced to leave Kyoto. The only other ally they have is us. Sometimes they come looking for sanctuary onboard Chanai, but the majority maintain their flying skills intact and apply for a new vessel the moment they land on Takada Shipyard. Such valuable pilots are far too skilled to waste their abilities by having them work as mechanics on Takada like most other men. They are normally recruited to our ranks and become one of the very few men to fly in our organisation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462085: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .I miss my boyfriend. He's a Blood Dragon technician stationed at Sendai. We first met when this battleship was stationed outside the research facility being repaired and we've been seeing each other since. I sometimes think he will ask me to marry him, but many of my friends in the Sisterhood think that marriage is a foolish male notion. I do love him though, and I wish we weren't forced into this lifestyle because of our foolish government's conservative views. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462080: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .I have a doctorate in microbiology from the University of New Tokyo, and had hoped to be able to study and research the Alien Organisms of Kurile. I ended up fetching drinks for my male boss at Samura, so I became a Chrysanthemum. What choice did I have? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475483: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emiko/Ikeda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Many come to Chanai to relax and enjoy a peaceful life which is largely present on the station. Schools, medical facilities and even recreational centres are present here. Some of our people will occasionally move to Morioka Base, but Planet Hiura is the only thing to see around there now. The whole base has turned into a highly specialised commercial outpost. Most of the visiting Blood Dragons go to Morioka or Takada though. Chanai is just another space station for them and they are always thrilled to see more planets. You would be too if you'd spent whole your life on Kyoto. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475482: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emiko/Ikeda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Chanai is home for most of the Golden Chrysanthemum medical facilities, and many injured pilots end up here for treatment. We also use Cardamine contained in storage depots for medicinal purposes. Our sisterhood is quite advanced in this area of expertise, and our medical facilities are such that even the Blood Dragons sometimes come here to use them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475484: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eri/Kitayama (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .As you know, a large portion of the population on Chanai consists of our male partners and elders. The Golden Chrysanthemums sometimes have the opportunity to visit their families, but we cannot stop the fight for equal rights for too long. It is a shame really, because I miss my friends and family a lot while I am away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475485: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eri/Kitayama (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 #475486: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Eri/Kitayama (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Hiro Mamiya's career went down in flames in 807 A.S., not longer after my own. She was a superstar who had it all, but threw it all away on her drug crazed binges. Now look at us both, Cardamine addicts on a forgotten outpost in the middle of nowhere, remembered only with dishonour in our home nation. And yet, it is all her fault! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462058: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Fumiko Shimazu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Furyoku Station in Okinawa) .I was naive and foolish when I first joined the Golden Chrysanthemums movement. It happened on Roppongi station and I remember it up to this day. My mind wanted a change and my heart craved for a cause worth fighting and dying for. They told me that the change I wanted was already there and all I had to do was be brave enough to seize my opportunity. I follow this principle up to this very day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462056: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Fumiko Shimazu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Furyoku Station in Okinawa) .Interspace Commerce has moved to the Okinawa system to ensure the stability of Kishiro's operation in the area. It's a big, long-term investment. Though, the really important part for me is that they have brought Golden Chrysanthemums along too. That's how I ended up here, after all. What's my purpose on board? I mediate between the Interspace Commerce executives and my sisters on Battleship Matsuda. It helps to coordinate attacks on specific targets, inflicting the maximum possible damage on any attempts that Samura makes in its bid to expand into Okinawa. Interspace lets me know what should I be aware of and I share this information with my superior on Battleship Matsuda. She then organises an assault wing, which then intercepts the target. So far this strategy has kept Samura's hands away, but the Hogosha are starting to become more irritating as of late. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462059: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Fumiko Shimazu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Furyoku Station in Okinawa) .Once Samura has been dealt with and its oppressive regime destroyed, Interspace Commerce will be able to profit within Kusari without the endless bureaucratic red tape designed to make it unprofitable for foreigners to operate within our House. They are hoping for better marketing conditions under a new government. Of course our cause is much nobler than that, but to uphold this effort we also had to come up with some way to support this venture, much like Interspace did. And so, Just like Roppongi station, this base also has a small Cardamine smuggling market running on board. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462057: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Fumiko Shimazu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Furyoku Station in Okinawa) .You know, it hasn't always been like this. The struggle for power, I mean. Nowadays most Kusari are competing with other Kusari, even killing each other when it comes to that. Regardless of the cause, it can put you in doubt of your own actions sometimes. And to think that you're also helping this deadly mechanism to spin... It's just terrible. It is almost as bad as the war against Bretonia, which is about living space, of course. It is always about living space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133387: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Hiromi Endo (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Kazuko Hara (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Etsuko Tanaka (at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido) ˙We are not numerous yet, but that will change as more of the oppressed women of Kusari tire of the old ways. As we speak, underground cells of the disaffected youth are being formed on all the home planets.

He swears that he opened fire and badly wounded the ship. He searched the cloud for some time, but never found the Shibuya. The word around Deshima is that it never made it to the Galileo system. Its probably out there somewhere in the Keiun Cloud.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131606: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Hiromi Nomura (at Leiden Base in Galileo) ˙The Jump Hole to Shikoku is very close, just to the north of this base. It is the first of three jumps to get to the dangerous but beautiful Hokkaido system.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131604: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Hiromi Nomura (at Leiden Base in Galileo) ˙We run supply shipments of Food, Luxury Goods, Side Arms, Pharmaceuticals, Engine Components, and Consumer Goods to our base in Hokkaido. It's a long, dangerous run past the Farmers Alliance in Kyushu and the Bounty Hunters of Shikou, but well worth it financially.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131605: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Hiromi Nomura (at Leiden Base in Galileo) ˙Down here we run Cardamine and H-Fuel from our base in Hokkaido in exchange for many of our basic supplies. Leiden indirectly supplies the Blood Dragon base in Chugoku via Ainu. That's the real reason we have to make so many runs down to this alien place. They often protect us from hostile attacks, so it's worth it.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132958: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Reiko Saito (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) ˙Roppongi is nice to visit. The foreigners are polite to us, much better than Kusari would ever be. They have lots of luxury boutiques for all those IC employees here, so we take advantage of the opportunity to shop in relative peace. I hate Ainu. If only I could live in New Tokyo again ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132959: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Reiko Saito (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) ˙We will continue our fight until a woman leads this country. I do not believe in much of the strange things they preach on Ainu, but one thing is certain. The women of Kusari must be freed of the oppressive yoke of our paternal society. Only then will Kusari move forward again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #132960: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Golden Chrysanthemums/ Reiko Saito (at Roppongi Station in New Tokyo) ˙I think it's time for my afternoon Cardamine break. We sell our cargo here, since they won't let us land on Tokyo. All the hip Tokyo types come here to get their supply.

They are disturbing people -- always wearing those masks, but we need the Cardamine. It defines our cause and serves as an important security mechanism. All recruits of Matsuda must become addicted to the drug before they are allowed to become full-fledged members. This makes it difficult for the Kusari security forces to penetrate our cell. And of course, they are not women... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475447: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hana/Koizumi (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .If you're looking for a Cardamine expert, you came to the right place. I will not tell you many formulas on how to produce it or get into semantics, but I can surely give you a few tips on practical usage of the drug. There is no shame in admitting to being an addict. We are all addicts here. I was one of the top fighter aces in the Golden Chrysanthemums, but as we all know, luck only lasts so long. I know I helped out my sisters a lot when I was able to fly, but unfortunately my injuries forced me into retirement. I am just jealous about those who are still capable of fighting for our cause. I can't even pilot a transport now, which is why I work on Takada Shipyard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475446: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hana/Koizumi (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I wasn't as skilled as many other sisters during my first years with our group and it was a very hard time for me. The Golden Chrysanthemums try to regulate the usage of Cardamine to lessen the chances of serious DNA mutations, but everyone inevitably gets changed in the end. While Cardamine enhances your fighting abilities, it can often be harmful in the long run. But I desperately craved for recognition within our sisterhood, and secretly acquired more of the drug from the Outcasts. Needless to say, the trick worked up until the point where my body could ingest the drug with no added benefits to my fighting skills. Now I know why it is strictly regulated, despite the need for continual doses. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475445: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hana/Koizumi (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I remember the very first time that I got to use Cardamine, as it happened before the initiation ritual. My friend took me to Cali Base in Tau-23, and we tried some there. All prospective recruits have to undergo Cardamine usage as a part of their training program, however, as it is needed to detect and remove all infiltration attempts. To this day, we have never been infiltrated because of our security measures, something that the Kusari navy or police can hardly claim. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475510: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Haruka/Igawa (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .There are so many fields and planets capable of holding resources in the Tau-65 system. Too bad they are so hard to reach due to the radiation and deep space conditions. Did you know that the temperature on Hiura can go down to 140 degrees below zero, and that is during the day time? At least Planet Kitahara is fully capable of supporting life. I am told it is almost identical to Malta, but I have never been there before. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475511: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Haruka/Igawa (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The Nishiara Asteroid Field is heavily saturated with radiation, but Kawada's shielding protects very well. If we could understand better how Ekitei works, it would allow us to harness the power of the pulsar to provide this station with cheap energy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475487: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiro/Mamiya (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I used to be a supermodel and singer back on New Tokyo, but I ended up becoming addicted to Cardamine. The media eventually found out and my career came crashing down in ruins, not long after I won the Miss New Tokyo pageant in 806 A.S. I know it is my fault for that, but I cannot help but feel a little bitter. In any case, after the Golden Chrysanthemums approached me I took up their offer and joined, donating a large portion of my money to their cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475488: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiro/Mamiya (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I've always wanted to be a singer, ever since I was a little girl on Kyushu. My father was a good man who paid for my private tuition with a music teacher, because the colleges on Kyushu don't allow women to take courses there. It is just another damning indictment of the male-driven society that the Kusari government perpetuates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475489: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiro/Mamiya (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Don't listen to Eri Kitayama bitching about me, she's just sour at not being crowned Miss New Tokyo in 806 A.S. She still came in at second place though, so she has no cause for complaints. I swear I didn't plant any Cardamine in her quarters, although she will tell you differently, no doubt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475512: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiroko/Anzai (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .I'm an assistant to Minako Okada, the research team leader of the Blood Dragons on Kawada. She used to run the research in the facility, but now all the interns have passed their training and acquired enough experience to carry out research on their own. Perhaps soon I will be appointed to the staff myself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475412: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiromi/Katsura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Morioka base has served as a residence for all the Golden Chrysanthemums, our family members and progressive recruits who are yet to join the equal rights movement. Nowadays it is of significant importance to our organisation, mounting powerful laser cannons and constructing huge cargo bays to store our supplies. It has become the core of our economy. Most of regular population has moved to Chanai now, and now all that is left here are cargo containers in what used to be dormitories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475413: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiromi/Katsura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .All stolen goods finally reach Morioka Base, as it is the centre of distribution for the Tau-65 system. Components fit for making ships travel to Takada Shipyard, while Light Arms are shipped to Ainu Depot. Water is distilled out of asteroids in Hachiman Ice Field. We do receive Food supplies from Chanai, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475414: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hiromi/Katsura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Goyomai Outpost was destroyed by a major Farmers Alliance raid just before Battle of Chanai. A debris field lies there now, reminding us of the failure of our spies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475466: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .For over a hundred and seventy five years, the Golden Chrysanthemums have been fighting for their equal rights. The organisation is only three years older than I am. I was here when they were constructing our first station in this system, Morioka Base, and I sincerely hope that I live long enough to see our struggle come to a positive conclusion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475472: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Because we were only just starting to get organised, shortly after Yuyu's death in 648 A.S., Morioka base took several years and a phenomenal portion of our resources to build, but it paid off in the end. Thankfully we have never needed the fallback position that Morioka initially represented, and it has allowed us to further develop the Tau-65 system as a whole. I do remember one particular incident though, in 703 A.S., when several habitation modules on Morioka were destroyed in an accident involving a damaged fighter craft. A lot of people died, and it took months to fully repair the damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475471: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I remember the attack on Chanai like it was only yesterday. The Farmers Alliance somehow learned of our dealings with Synth Foods, and launched an attack to destroy our biodomes. They broke through our defensive perimeter and fired several torpedoes into the central biodome. My great granddaughter was killed in the attack. She was only fourteen. It just fills me with sorrow; that we must fight this terrible war just so we may enjoy the same rights and privileges as men do in our own nation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475468: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .The Rites of Matsuda? Oh, that's our initiation ceremony into the Golden Chrysanthemums. The new potential member has to not eat any food for twenty four hours before we read sections of the book "Golden Chrysanthemum in Bloom" with them. They are then given a ceremonial dose of Cardamine, which is usually the very first one they have ever had, and is just enough to get them addicted, though sometimes people need further doses. Finally, the person is placed in a sensory deprivation chamber for a further twelve hours to acclimate themselves to the Cardamine. After that, you are inducted into the Golden Chrysanthemums organisation, and sworn to uphold the secrecy of our bases and the sanctity of our goals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475469: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I put my long life down to healthy eating, plenty of exercise and Cardamine. The Outcasts have long told us that Cardamine has many adverse effects on the human genetic structure. Our own researchers, and those at Sendai Research Complex in the Okinawa system, believe that Cardamine was originally engineered by the Daam-K'Vosh for the Nomads. All I know is that it has increased my already fine intelligence and given me a much greater lifespan than I might otherwise have had. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475470: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .We captured the Battleship Matsuda during the attack on Tekagi's fortress in 801 A.S., although it was crippled outside Sendai Research Complex in the Okinawa system. We spent years hijacking various transports and supply convoys to get the parts we needed to bring it back up to complete operational status. These days, with the help of Synth Foods and Interspace Commerce, parts are slightly easier to come by, although we still have to smuggle them out here from Roppongi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475467: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisako/Takahashi (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I was born in 645 A.S, onboard Shinagawa station in the New Tokyo system. My mother was an ardent follower of Yuyu Matsuda's work and she was devastated when the news of Yuyu's death in 648 A.S. was broadcast on the colony news networks. She took me and left my father, moving to join the fledgling Golden Chrysanthemum movement onboard our secret base, Ainu Depot, in the Hokkaido system. I grew up there, being homeschooled by many different women from all walks of life, eventually taking the Rites of Matsuda myself and becoming a fully fledged member. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475405: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisano/Noguchi (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .I wish we could stop fighting the Kusari Naval Forces. We have created a perfect environment for women here and although I still care about the women being abused in Kusari, they can always join our ranks. Then all of us could live in peace with no fear of tomorrow, but I guess it's too late to go back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475404: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Hisano/Noguchi (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Golden Chrysanthemums fight for the equal rights of women in Kusari, but what we sometimes overlook is the successful society that we have created here. Every member of the community has their role and function, which we perform for the good of others in our society. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475499: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Have you heard of South Park? It's not far from Crichton Springs on Planet Denver. I was born there in 765 A.S, to a chef who worked in one of the restaurants there. After graduating from Denver High, I applied to join Synth Foods Inc. and I've been working for them ever since. It's not a bad job if you can avoid running afoul of the angry farmers in Rheinland and Kusari. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475498: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I was present during the attack on this facility by the Farmers Alliance in 812 A.S. The destruction of the central biodome killed over a thousand people, including my friend Richard Stackpole, a Synth Foods engineer who was working on the biodomes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475503: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) ....I'm gonna make love to you woman, gonna lay you down by the fire...Oh sorry, I didn't see you there. I was just practicing my singing for the concert tonight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475497: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I've been assigned to the Golden Chrysanthemums in an advisory capacity to oversee the biodomes they have here. It has taken a great deal of resources for these women to construct the biodomes, but their efforts have finally paid off. Now nobody in their organisation will go hungry, at least. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475523: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) Some people treat us with contempt for the creation of Synth Paste, but we're helping to put an end to starvation throughout the colonies with our product and there are many people alive today who wouldn't be if it weren't for our food. Just ask the Golden Chrysanthemums if you don't believe me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475502: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .We made a considerable amount of profit from the biodomes project, while also expanding Synth Foods, Inc. influence further into Kusari, but it was all to everyone's good, since now none of the Golden C. will starve. I know that the credits that we received are most likely stolen from the Kusari government or made from the sales of Cardamine, but to me the Golden Chrysanthemums are all legitimate business partners. It is the fault of the Kusari government that they exist, and we sympathise with their cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475524: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Isaac/Hayes (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) It was Interspace Commerce who put us in contact with members of the Golden Chrysanthemums, so that we could negotiate a deal for the biodomes. We help them and in return they are better able to attack the Farmers Alliance, which further helps our business interests in Kusari. This way, we all win. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462081: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .I have a doctorate in microbiology from the University of New Tokyo, and had hoped to be able to study and research the Alien Organisms of Kurile. I ended up fetching drinks for my male boss at Samura, so I became a Chrysanthemum. What choice did I have? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462086: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .I've been on scanner duty for the last fourteen hours and just signed off, but I'm back on duty again in seven hours because my replacement is sick. Apparently she hasn't been taking her daily Cardamine supplements and is going through severe withdrawal symptoms, so she's down in medical. Please leave me be, I want to have a drink in peace before I try to grab what little sleep I can. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475473: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Junko/Matsuda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .My mother once said that I am related to our honoured founder, Yuyu Matsuda. Apparently, one of my ancestors was Yuyu's sister, Chiemi Matsuda. I like to think that Yuyu would be proud to know that her family follows in her footsteps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475474: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Junko/Matsuda (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .It is amazing to think that Hisako Takahashi was alive when Yuyu Matsuda was, even if she was only three years old when Yuyu performed ritual suicide. I often enjoy talking to her about history and the things she has seen, and the people that have come and gone in both our organisation and throughout Kusari. It gives you an insight into life that history books and archive footage simply cannot. I suggest talking with her sometime; she knows many things that might be of interest to you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475508: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Kanako/Kuroha (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .Ekitei is the reason why this research complex was built in the first place. Well, that and the development of new weapons and space craft. If we could tame the power of the X-ray pulses and combine this technology into a new weapons line, we could punch through our enemies' shielding like it wasn't even there. I know such research is already underway, but the theories behind the technology are nothing but conjecture so far. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475509: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Kanako/Kuroha (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The purpose of this research station is far more complex than exploring the anomalies such as Ekitei. One such practical use of this station is an attempt at creating new blasters and rifles. Some ships are designed here also, but all of the final safety checks and structural testing are done on Takada Shipyard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475507: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Kanako/Kuroha (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The Ekitei X-Ray Pulsar is the jewel of this system. It periodically releases massive bursts of energy in the form of x-ray radiation into space. It does not take advanced technology to shield oneself from the radioactive pulses, but the rays may still become deadly if we could concentrate them into a straight line, rather than spreading outwards in a directionless manner. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475513: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Kazumi/Mori (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The Takkinai Cloud has unusual readings. Scans reveal frequencies common to the Ice Fields around Planet Harris in the Tau-31 system. Unfortunately, the radiation from the nearby pulsar prevents further scans into Takkinai Cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475514: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Kazumi/Mori (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The Ishijima Asteroid Field was created when a small planetoid collided with the Ekitei pulsar. We're not sure what really happened, but it sure is fuelling the imaginations of our more excitable researchers. However, besides its scientific interest Ishijima Asteroid Field has no value whatsoever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462075: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .A sister perished in the Hasuda field several days ago while engaging Hogosha pilots. Her transmissions were intercepted too late, and patrols in the region could not rescue her. The Hogosha vermin were chased off before they could desecrate our lost sister's Eagle; it remained intact, as it fell to weapons fire rather than mines or missiles, and may yet drift in the asteroid cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462076: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .The floors of this ship have been awash with blood in the past. During the Nomad War of 800 A.S., this vessel was commanded by Nomad-tainted soldiers who were tasked with guarding the late Governor Tekagi's Tohoku fortress. After Tekagi's base fell to the Blood Dragons, the Matsuda, called the Himeji then, attempted to escape to Okinawa, where she was intercepted and boarded by Chrysanthemum forces. We've been based out of her here in this system ever since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462083: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .The Honshu jump hole is only several klicks removed from here, to the north. We of the Matsuda ensure that our Cardamine runners pass through unharmed, and we also prevent unwanted presences such as Hogosha or the Naval Forces from infiltrating Karatsu. If it moves through that hole, it's read on our scanners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462084: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .Many of us secretly admire the Blood Dragons. Their grace of flight is wondrous, and they're Kusari's most rigorously-trained pilots. The sisterhood frequently flies alongside our cousins from Chugoku, and we do our best to glean flying knowledge from them. Though many Dragons are male, they are not the swine we've come to expect, rather, they are cultured and well-bred to a fault. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462082: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .We control Okinawa's Cardamine run aboard this vessel. The Chrysanthemum's the driving force behind drug running in Kusari; we have an intimate relationship with the Outcasts that supply us with the substance, and Outcast fighters and freighters frequently dock here. We don't merely smuggle the drug, however; rather, it's a crucial component of many of our rituals. The sisterhood is grateful to the Hispanians for granting us clarity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462078: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .Our glorious leader, the immortal Yuyu Matsuda, lent her name to this battleship. We consider our base here sacred ground, and will defend it against any intrusion, especially against the vile Hogosha and the chauvinist, unenlightened corporate lapdogs that they serve. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462077: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .We are indebted to the Blood Dragons for providing their technical expertise as we reconstructed the Matsuda, she was damaged by the explosion of her fellow battleship Sennan, during the battle against Governor Tekagi's fortress in Tohoku. True, we stole all the materials we required ourselves, mainly from Samura transports, but we were taught how to efficiently repair it by the technicians of Sendai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462079: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Matsuda Bartender/Akiko Yamato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Zetsumai Keisotsu/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ai Takeda/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ayame Matsumado/Golden Chrysathemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Emi Iida/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Izumi Kinashita/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Battleship Matsuda in Okinawa) .The Hogosha and the Chrysanthemums cannot coexist, they represent everything we seek to escape, alter, and destroy. Soon, the corporate dogs shall be driven out of Okinawa, and the Chrysanthemums will fly unmolested by the conservative and discriminatory mores the archaic and outdated government attempts to perpetuate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475419: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Michiko/Arai (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .I am very respectful of the Blood Dragons. It was two weeks ago that I was ambushed in Shikoku by four Bounty Hunters when a Blood Dragon came to my aid. My ship was still capable of entering combat, but the Blood Dragon insisted on me staying out of range. He told me that he would destroy the four Bounty Hunters on his own, which he did! I've never seen anyone to fight like that before. I will never be able to express my gratitude. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475418: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Michiko/Arai (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .The Golden Chrysanthemums have expanded greatly in recent years, experiencing a major population boom. Our population now is somewhat four times larger than that of Blood Dragons, although they are mainly fighters while our organisation has a very large amount of civilian residents. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475420: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Michiko/Arai (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Have you ever seen a Blood Dragon fight? There is true honour in their ways. Few pilots can match a Blood Dragon in combat. It's a mind blowing experience to see a warrior of such skill handle his weapon like a true master. The Blood Dragons do not use anything to enhance their combat abilities, they win by mere skill. I would have headed for Kyoto long ago if it was not for their old fashioned ways. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475443: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Mika/Kolb (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Most of the Golden Chrysanthemums pilots are women, although some are Blood Dragon Cardamine addicts. In recent years some Bretonian men and women have started to show an interest in our ways. I've recently met a man by the name of Charles Worthington on Morioka Base. He told me that certain military laws limit him in fighting the enemies of the Bretonian Queen to full extent that he'd like, and he wished to join our cause. We will probably keep him under surveillance for a while, but eventually he will have to participate in the Rites of Matsuda on Chanai before he is considered to be a true member of our organisation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475444: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Mika/Kolb (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I met an old man on Roppongi station, who insisted on accompanying me back to the Tau-65 system. He did not seem suspicious and I offered him some Cardamine that I had brought to Roppongi with me. He not only refused, but he broke out in lectures about the evils of drug abuse. He even dropped my tube on ground and stepped on it. Now I understand why my sisters all believe that the old male hierarchy needs to be replaced. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475408: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Mizuki/Nemoto (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Our Blood Dragon friends here are welcome, although they can occasionally be troublesome. A few of them tend to favour alcohol a bit too much and sometimes cause a commotion in the bar. Sometimes it can get out of hand and end up with people getting injured. Maybe if they took Cardamine there would be no need for all of this violence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475407: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Mizuki/Nemoto (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .The Golden Chrysanthemums have two main sources of income. The first one is piracy, of course. Goods stolen from Kusari transports serve us well. Some of them are distributed from Morioka base to satisfy our most basic needs and the rest are sold off at Morioka, making us a nice profit. The second source is the Cardamine trade. We buy our Cardamine from the Outcasts and sell it in Kusari. These two financial branches make for a solid platform on which we base our entire economy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475406: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Mizuki/Nemoto (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Morioka has maintained little cultural value, but its economic role is very important to us. Our economy has become much more specialised in recent years and further development of such logistic centres will be needed in the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475434: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Naomi/Sonoda (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .I spend most of my time out on patrol, and I'll be going out again shortly, just as soon as I've finished my drink. My squadron has to head over to the Battleship Matsuda in the Okinawa system, guarding a pirate transport full of supplies. It's a tough run, what with the Wild in Tohoku, Farmers Alliance in Nagano and the Hogosha in Okinawa itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475433: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Naomi/Sonoda (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .While we sometimes do manufacture the Corvo Cruiser here it is very rare. Our shipyard can handle capital class vessels however, and we often get those of our allies come in for repairs, which we are only too happy to do. Once we even had a Liberty Rogue destroyer dock here, which was quite a sight to behold. The vessel's name was the "Drax", I think. Her captain, Hugo Dravis, was taking her up for maintenance at Corsica, although whether his ship ever reached the Outcasts we do not know. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475432: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Naomi/Sonoda (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .We have a lot of pride in our Sisterhood, and it manifests itself the most at Chanai Biodomes and here at Takada. While we may not be as visibly large and powerful as the Outcasts, the Golden Chrysanthemums certainly get a lot of money from our exclusive control of the Cardamine market in Kusari and this allows us to fund such expensive undertakings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475427: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko/Sakurai (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Takada Shipyard sells a fairly large amount of Cardamine on board. You may say it's an odd place to find Cardamine, but it's all because of our experimental plantations down on planet Kitahara. We bring in the harvest here after it has been processed planetside. Some supplies are sold, others are shipped to Kawada Research Complex for research purposes. Only a very little amount of Kitahara's orange is used. Its quality is too poor for the rituals we perform at Chanai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475426: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko/Sakurai (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .The Blood Dragons are over three hundred years older than our organisation. The Kusari Naval Forces never took the Golden Chrysanthemums seriously until 710 A.S. Then a diversionary attack that we carried out on Narita Outpost allowed the Blood Dragons to board Yokohama Shipyard in secrecy and steal the templates which were used on the construction of Takada Shipyard three years later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475425: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko/Sakurai (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Takada Shipyard constructs a small amount of ships, but its main job is to provide maintenance for our existing craft and service the larger vessels of the Blood Dragons, Bretonians and the Outcasts. To fulfil this task, high temperature alloys, engine components and ship hull panels are the three components that we are always in need of here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475428: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko/Sakurai (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Stay away from that Outcast girl, Kaela Chavez; she's nothing but pure trouble. Honestly, I don't know why the Outcasts send along troublemakers like her on the Cardamine runs. She almost got into a fight the other day with one of the Blood Dragon supervisors, Toshio Yamada. I heard she doesn't like anyone from Kusari, and Toshio apparently spent a long time undercover in the Kusari Navy. Who really knows what it was about, though? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #462092: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Noriko Sato/Golden Chrysanthemums (at Sendai Research Complex in Okinawa) .One cannot see Okinawa from here; the Kofu cloud obscures her. Picture the system, anyway, a vista beautiful without compare, corrupted and tainted by the smear of corporate greed. Someday, the Dragons will be victorious; we shall throw off Samura's shackles of oppression and shall liberate the government. Kusari shall be restored to its glory and to its people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475481: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Rei/Tanaka (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I've returned to Chanai after two months spent in space with only the occasional resupply landings on Roppongi. I was delighted to see my children and partner again, but today an elder has contacted me with instructions to lead an assault wing into space again soon. It never ends. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475480: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Rei/Tanaka (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .The Farmers are manipulated by Samura, but they aren't our primary concern. Samura is the one to look out for, as they have their sticky fingers in ever pie throughout Kusari. The Golden Chrysanthemums used to be content with the Farmers Alliance's activities before the Chanai biodome project started, but after we made a deal with Synth Foods our relationship has become increasingly hostile towards each other. The Battle of Chanai resulted in a virtual declaration of war between the two factions and the fighting has been vicious ever since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475479: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ryoko/Furukawa (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I was on sensor duty the other day and we picked up some strange readings. According to the computers we had two Farmers Alliance fighters inbound, and we dispatched a fighter wing to take care of them. Just before they engaged, they realised that it was a heavily damaged Golden Chrysanthemum fighter. The IFF was malfunctioning and the damage had destroyed her communications array. She was lucky to have not been destroyed by our automated defences. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475478: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ryoko/Furukawa (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .I've been on sensor duty for the last twelve hours and just signed off, but I'm back on duty again in six hours because my replacement is sick. Apparently she hasn't been taking her daily Cardamine supplements and is going through severe withdrawal symptoms, so she's down in medical. Please leave me be, I want to have a drink in peace before I try to grab what little sleep I can. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475491: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Anzu (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Biodomes bought from Synth Foods have greatly increased our food production and our ability to sustain larger population, but it came at a heavy cost. The Farmers Alliance launched a full scale attack on Chanai in 812 A.S and over two thousand people were killed during the battle. Our hatred became mutual and full scale war broke out between us. Was it worth it? Decide for yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475492: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Anzu (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .Most of our sisters enjoy Synth Paste with a passion. It is relatively cheap and symbolises the free market economy and equal rights in Liberty, things that we greatly desire to see in our own nation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475490: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Anzu (at Chanai Biodome Project in Tau-65) .We used to buy Cardamine from the Outcasts only to satisfy our own needs and perform ceremonial rituals, but once the Golden Chrysanthemums started to distribute it amongst the Kusari population, we soon realised the previously untapped commercial potential within our nation and started dealing ourselves. The Outcasts are suspicious about our intentions of expanding the Cardamine trade, but we still buy most of our Cardamine from them, rather than producing it ourselves on Kitahara, which leaves them with the monopoly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475440: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Kakutani (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Takada Shipyard has a well planned production cycle. All hijacked materials in Kusari fit for ship building are sent here. Then we process them into various alloys. Finally, processed metal is used to build ships; Pirate Transports and Eagles mainly. These consist of raiding parties, which will bring even more materials in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475441: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Kakutani (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Niobium is brought here from the mines on Planet Kitahara mostly. Prisoners work there continuously to provide Takada Shipyard with some raw materials that are readily available from the planet. Only male workers are used in the mines, however. Females either willingly join the Chrysanthemums and take the Rites of Matsuda, or are sold to the Outcasts as slaves. We detest slavery, but we cannot afford to risk female infiltrators in our ranks, nor for them to learn of our base locations by letting them go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475442: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Sayuri/Kakutani (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .There's a jump hole that leads to the Blood Dragon Guard system, in the Ishijima asteroid field. It would be a good idea to ask permission though, as they sometimes don't like us travelling through there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475415: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Tamiko Kimura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Nishiara Asteroid Field must be filled with wrecks by now. A few fighters ventured there and got lost, many years ago. A few salvagers once tried to locate the wrecks, but we received no calls back from them either. Its funny how ship graveyards start to develop in the first place and Nishiara must be filled with wrecks by now, but truth is: no one will ever want to go there to claim them, not even the Junkers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475416: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Tamiko Kimura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .I often associate with the Junkers. They are enemies with the Hogosha, just as we are; therefore it makes them natural allies to us. The Junkers are little better than the Hogosha, though. Both they and the Hogosha profit from the corrupt local governments, taking a slice of the black market pie. If the Junkers were to replace the Hogosha, then nothing would really change. The only difference that I see between the two factions is the goods they deal in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475417: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Tamiko Kimura (at Morioka Base in Tau-65) .Mediating with the Junkers is much more difficult than one would expect it to be. The Junkers cannot really come to us, so we have to come to them. It takes a lot of time and effort to reach the Galileo system where such meetings are usually held. If it were not for the fact that they are also enemies of the Hogosha we would have nothing to gain out of this acquaintance. We hope that one day Junkers will be able to press the Hogosha hard enough to weaken them, but so far the influence they have in Kusari is virtually non-existent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475436: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ume/Nakashima (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .Even though Takada Shipyard is nearly a hundred years old, servicing ships is still a rather new business for us. It's not something which is easy to get the hang of, especially when women are denied careers in engineering at New Tokyo University. That is why Takada supports a certain amount of Outcasts and Blood Dragons. They help us with engineering issues that we simply have little to no expertise in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475435: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Ume/Nakashima (at Takada Shipyard in Tau-65) .We do not design our own ships here; that is done at Kawada.

The most recent event was the Nomad War. The Blood Dragons had a fair amount of knowledge about the Nomads as they worked together with the Order back in the day, but the Golden Chrysanthemums never knew that such a threat existed until the battle for Tekagi's fortress in the Tohoku system in 801 A.S. Regardless, we aided the Blood Dragons in their siege of Tekagi's fortress. We gained control of the Battleship Matsuda during that battle, which you will find stationed in the Okinawa system these days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #475505: * [Golden Chrysanthemums] Yoko/Ono (at Kawada Research Complex in Tau-65) .The Suncannon D was a breakthrough in our weapons technology. It was designed right here on Kawada and assembled on Takada Shipyard in 815 A.S.

What a lot of people don't know though is that a huge amount of the workers here joined us. We give better pay and working conditions than their former bosses at BMM, despite the occasional Armed Forces raid. They're now loyal and helpful to the Molly cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525343: * [Mollys] Mollys/Ronan Mullen (at Belfast Production Facility in Newcastle) .As you might imagine, this place was difficult to capture. But we secretly did a deal with the Liberty Rogues; they sold us almost two dozen of their Rogue Gunboats. Those were used with devastating effect against the station. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525350: * [Mollys] Mollys/Ronan Mullen (at Belfast Production Facility in Newcastle) .I miss my wife. She is back on Arranmore base, while I got assigned to here to repair the fighters that come in damaged after engagements against the Gaians. Hopefully I'll get to go home within the next month or two. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525347: * [Mollys] Mollys/Ronan Mullen (at Belfast Production Facility in Newcastle) .Most of the materials that fuel the smelting plants onboard Belfast are mined on the planet Middlesbrough. We have automated mining platforms on the surface of that planet that we liberated from the BMM when we captured the station, and now they work to supply our factories and installations with raw materials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525344: * [Mollys] Mollys/Samuel McMillan (at Belfast Production Facility in Newcastle) .The BMM didn't realise that we had people applying for jobs onboard the station for years before we even launched our assault. I myself applied to work here in 793 A.S., but once the attack was launched I revealed my true allegiance and helped to capture the station for the Mollys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525340: * [Mollys] Mollys/Samuel McMillan (at Belfast Production Facility in Newcastle) .We use Pirate Trains to transport our finished goods. They're big, and have good offensive power, but lack in armour, so we send large escorts with them. We don't get much trouble from the Armed Forces these days, although the stupid Gaians still try to raid our transports. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486422: * [Neutral Faction] Corsairs/ Romano Mendoz (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Recognise the uniform then? Yeah that's right, look around here, we all come from somewhere. I'm a Corsair, well; I guess I was a Corsair as much as anyone can change the nature of who and what they are. I found this place some time ago, but I guess just like you I didn't know what I was looking for exactly. I just followed my senses and eventually found it, and to my suprise the people here you see. I flew missions out of Gamma and Cadiz, was posted to Yaren for a while, I even fought against the Nomads once or twice; my whole life was like that of any other Corsair: do your duty, and seek honour and glory for yourself and your people. Same thing everyone heard thousand times. But it never sat right with me, I always felt like there had to be something else, it just all seemed... a waste. Repeating in an endless cycle, locked in a single slid view point. I'd spent all my life taking things from other people, their ships, their money, husbands, and wives. Daughters, sons... And then what? ...and then one day I started asking questions, instead of shooting first I asked who they were; and they told me, more than that, they showed me. To my surprise I saw not only that but most importantly the reflection of myself and where do I stand in this life. My whole life on the palm, my past, my present and the possible future had I not stopped for a moment to think. I shuddered. Never the truth was so... real. No lies, no fancy, just pure truth to realize what I was and what I might have been. Spent my whole life taking things and I discovered that is all the whole human race is doing: it's taking from each other, killing, stealing, lying and stealing more. And then we stole this place too, this part of space - my friend, this is someone else's home. But none of that happens here, none of that happens with them, they don't kill each other, and they don't steal from their own kind. Everything they do is for the benefit of their kind, for each one individually and everyone as a whole. I work for something else now too, something bigger than myself and something most Corsairs could never understand. If you have come this far you were looking for that something too - and they can show you, if you are willing to listen and ready to accept. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486431: * [Neutral Faction] Liberty Rogues/ "Incognito" (at The Shrine in Unknown) .See, once a long time ago I was a low-life criminal, attacking medical shipments in Liberty, doing slavery too, drugs and whatnot. Everyone had to make their own for the living with means available, just like you do. But tell me, did you trust anyone before this moment? I did, I had a belief that we can be better than what society makes us, but each time I put my trust into people I cared about... I was betrayed. I learned to sense lies, every little one out there. Everyone lies. Governments lie, people spreading it whever they go, lying to each other and carrying over again and again, your friends lie too. Has the honesty became a commodity so rare? Has the truth became a contraband in this world so that you have to give up and trade lies and deceit instead? And so I trust myself only. I saw the vision like the others here, it is the only belief I have left and the only one I can trust. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486417: * [Neutral Faction] Mercenary/ Helen (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Do you still think to fight them? Know this, you stand at very doorstep into their homeworlds, the very heart their of existence. What you have seen here is just a beginning. Beyond this place there is much more you cannot possibly imagine. If the thoughts to keep up the fight still linger your mind I would adivse you to turn away and flee while you still can. We cherish hospitality here but ask the same in return. Embrace your destiny, the very one that has led you to this place, stay and learn to become a part of ours and their union. Make no mistake, a chance can be offered once in a lifetime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486416: * [Neutral Faction] Mercenary/ Helen (at The Shrine in Unknown) .A new face around? That is surprising, we don't see many... newcomers. Are you surprised? Don't be. Sit down and have a drink. Would that be the search for freedom that brought you here? Regardless, I've been on the search for it for my whole life from the early ages. Born as a slave I could not but rebel against the oppression, to fight to have my own life and the freedom. I've been to many places around Sirius. From houses to distant worlds where only zoners would dare to live on their own. Despite many claiming they have freedom and could make you free. It's all lies. Like an annoying advertisement flashing through your eyes, burning down your mind. I've learned one thing over the years: freedom is not a commodity, not a medal. You can't buy it, you can't earn it, you can't force it even. You are promised one but still you are a slave, it's only a matter of how you word it, the meaning remains the same. Be it physical chains on your arms or depts you are pulled into, or duty regulations forcing the specific mindset upon you. Think forced upon stereotypes and you are but a prisoner of the narrow minds, a slave again thinking the way the power that be have decided for you. So where would one find it among the stars and places beyond but not in solitude? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486419: * [Neutral Faction] Outcasts/ Alexa Hernandez (at The Shrine in Unknown) .I remember when I first set foot in this place, searching for the spirits which tend to our dead, not for my own sake, but for that of my father. When I was a little girl my father told me of the great spirits soaring in the skies above Malta, how they cared for our dead and tended their every need in the afterlife. I could not help but to feel reluctant at the idea that my father should float in the cold void. I was skeptical of the nature or even existence of those spirits. I put my doubt into centuries old tradition much to disgrace among my family. Yet I saw this place were we stand now in my dreams the night my father died, this place where he would be safe I thought. I brought him here and entombed him. Don't ask how I found this place. He is safe here, by my side, and here I shall remain until I too pass into the realm of the spirits. In doing what I did I broke the traditions of my family, and became an outcast among outcasts. I can never return to my home, and I can never face my family again. But if I was presented with this situation once more, knowing full well what the end result would be, I would gladly suffer this torment again. Through it I have archived more than I could have imagined, with all my doubts now gone, vanished as my mind became clear open to see the whole picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486420: * [Neutral Faction] Outcasts/ Alexa Hernandez (at The Shrine in Unknown) .My ancestors had the long standing traditions running for generations, have always took them rather literally. To them the spirits were more of a symbol, a sign of greater will they can aspire to become as well. It is ironic that none of them had any contact with these beings nor did they actually were looking for. Myths that many kept as such, and I wondered why wouldn't anyone want to understand what is truly out there. It appears my straight-forward approach has attracted a dumbfounded reaction and sometimes even outright negative replies telling me to go no further on the subject. My ancestors, they also had another quality running as well: they were incredibly stubborn, and so was I too. At the end I was cast out, exiled from the society for trying to solve this mystery on my own, against the will of my parents and almost everyone I knew of. I remember them saying I would only find death shall I continue this path, perhaps now they do believe I am dead. But I am more alive than any before. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486421: * [Neutral Faction] Outcasts/ Alexa Hernandez (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Have you spoken to Kyle yet? He was one of the top pilots of the Order, was once. He is sometimes hanging around this level but mostly stays in the upper ones where he has a sort of laboratory. Kyle has a deeply troubled past, torn between what he believed is right and his immensive curiosity, almost an animal hunger to learn more and more. It is sad to see his life has become only this, I wish to help him. Kyle is one of the brightest minds I have seen. And I think he has finally found his home here at last. Sometimes I can see hapiness and childish smile behind that facial mask of his former personality he has yet to find a way to put away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486427: * [Neutral Faction] Scientist/ Peter (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Oh yes, we were able to figure out how to get very essential basics out of this place but we have only figured so little. I wish I had come here sooner. This whole station used to be fully automated I believe, and those small oddly shaped artifacts you've seen lying around apparently were various tools. They don't work anymore though and I can't figure out exactly why. I do have a theory though, if my assumptions are correct then perhaps a telepathic signal would awaken them. These devices are simply shut off but I am positive they can work if activated again. But none of us here are capable of anything like that. This station, you see, it isn't dead, rather left in dormant state, either ignoring our presence or it doesn't consider us a threat so far. I might sound crazy but it's alive too in a certain sense, but nothing like programmed artificial intelligence you might think of, this one is actually a complex living organism largely based on crystalline formations, a non-carbon life form. I can only hope we did not disturb it much, but I am eager to find out how we could communicate to it. As you can see this whole place presents immeasurable scientific significance. But I am afraid others would misuse it or proceed without caution, instead of researching it they'd pillage this whole place apart to find something of value. It's a delicate matter and while at it we'll keep low profile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486425: * [Neutral Faction] Scientist/ Peter (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Have you seen the Dream too? I saw this place in my dreams when I was still doing research at Cambridge. A collegue of mine has brought me an artifact that was supposedly still working as evidenced by EMX scanning. Yet that one, just like the others, remained dead as a stone to any attempts to analyze it further. All the years of study and still nowhere close to understanding of what we are dealing with. And then suddely a flash. A dream it was. I've spent many years searching and now I have finally found this place. And my peace among the other seekers you see here too. All of us have different stories to tell, but we share one vision, a vision of the better future for us all, for humanity and the benefactors who built this place to lead us towards the farther stars beyond this cradle leaving our prejudice and hatred behind. Tell me, wanderer, can you imagine a corsair and an outcast in one place talking to each other peacefully? Not anywhere else but here. I now think that we all came here guided by those whom some call them the Nomads. Alexa, the outcast, call them the spirits or something like that. They bear many names in different cultures throughout Sirius, but none of those names reflect their true nature. Talk to others here, they might share a bit of their insight too. Some are still uncertain of making the next step towards their destiny, but time is irrelevant here for we all will become a part of the greater form of life, a next step of the evolution of us, humans, as specie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486426: * [Neutral Faction] Scientist/ Peter (at The Shrine in Unknown) .You must still be amazed by what you have seen outside. All I can tell you is that there are other places like this one, nobody knows where they are nor have means to reach them. I studied this place for years, there must be systems like this one, each having a specific purpose, but it tells nothing of their location or how to find gates that presumably will lead into them. I do have a theory though they are locked out for now, still lying dormant unaware of what is happening around, time may trigger them, but when I do not know, may in a few ages, may be thousands or even millions of years will have to pass. If you go looking around for longer you'll find large crystals with strange mechanisms inside, the radiation was too high for me to stay around with my ship, but I suppose those are cryogenic devices. This may be the place they, the Nomads, have originated from. But if my theory proves right this is only one of several out there. Begs for question: how many are there actually? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486430: * [Neutral Faction] The Order/ Kyle (at The Shrine in Unknown) .I believe this station could be a conduit, a communicaton node perhaps. On a far side of this field there are some kind of cryogenic structures embbed the into asteroid formations. By the looks of it many other asteroids chunks here held such inside but only a few intact are left now. If you want my theory I'd say the Nomads once were held inside these cells, but it appears something or someone has awakened them and all we got here are empty shells, but this structure is intact and I believe it holds the answer. Large portions of it are still blocked, perhaps somewhere deeper archives could be found, if we could find and decypher the records we might be able to reconstruct the events and understand what they are. A few weeks ago Romano has brought me components from those cryogenic cells he was able to salvage from. Surpringly though it seems they weren't exactly meant to merely hold the Nomads indefinetely but rather were designed to modify their biological structure, a program perhaps left by Daam K'Vosh. Either way these evolutionary capsules were opened prematurely long time ago and I can only wonder what the Nomads were designed to be instead. Unfortunately anything I've got so far doesn't tell me what they were transforming into, these technologies are far beyond our level. Peter has some intersting theories too, I would ask him as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486429: * [Neutral Faction] The Order/ Kyle (at The Shrine in Unknown) .This place is none like the other. Before I came here not in a dream I would possibly imagine to see an outcast and a corsair having a friendly talk. It is fascinating how Alexa and Romano are actually had come to this despite everything I have ever known of the famous Blood feud between the two nations that has divided the edge worlds forever. And I have seen a lot of bloodshed there, enough to once ask myself: "Is this I am fighting for?". It haunted me for years on. Despite all the heroism I have witnessed in my days of duty it always struck me how eager are we to hurt each other. One day on a reconnaissance mission I went off the planned course, eventually HQ considered me MIA and for weeks I have traveled out there all alone, watching my enemy from afar. The first thing I have noticed that not a single one of them have ever opened a fire on their own. I have watched the battles from the distance, each time I've seen little more details I could not have noticed in a fight. How they are helping each other, how reasonably they approach to various combat situations. Sometimes I even think they knew I was there but haven't paid attention to. Finally I have amassed volumes of data from those encounters. And then I sat down analyzing it, meritiously, piece by piece, trying to understand how they think, and for every conclusion I had there I have caught myself unintentionally comparing them to ourselves as a whole. It is not any belief that has led me here but the understanding of what they are and I realized this is what I truly want to learn. Now I have the determination, the one I lost long time ago, wandering from one place to another. Alexa is helping me with the lab when she is not mediating, her excellent knowledge in chemistry is often coming helpful. The most caring person I've seen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #486428: * [Neutral Faction] The Order/ Kyle (at The Shrine in Unknown) .Do you have doubts, wanderer? I had more than doubts. See this battered uniform, does it look familiar to you? It is standard uniform for the Order, my fellow human friend, the one I once proudly wore into the battle to fight for what I told and thought was right. See those shiny medals? Think they are about honor and valor as it is engraved on them? I thought so too and wore them with dignity. But no, they are not, and now it is only a memory of those times when my mind was clouded to the reason and I was reluctant to think past beyond the prejudice, to make a step and pass beyond the threshold of misunderstanding, that seemingly vast abyss of hatred between us and them. I made it, stepped into the cold void with arms open wide only to find there is another world likes of which we have never seen nor we able to comprehend. And then have no doubts anymore. For studying the very nature of my enemies, for attempting to understand them, divulging into forbidden arts my fellow wingmates mockingly called me the Fallen angel. But one has to fall into emptiness, have the true courage hit the depth of the depthless well of unknown only to rise high above all that divides us for so long. I sought the knowledge and found it nowhere else but here, the revelation you cannot possibly believe in at first. But stay here, my friend, you will learn in time too. Pieces of puzzle will match, forming a perfect picture, it will come on your own for it is only your mind capable of realizing the whole. I am ready for the final step. Perhaps, we will meet again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134085: * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise/Baden-Baden Bartender/Timo Gryneus (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/ Cheryl Montgomery (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/Concierge Farah Kimmel (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/ Katrina Chapman (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) ˙Any basic supplies we need here are either produced here or shipped in from Stuttgart by our own Commodity transports.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #134086: * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise/Baden-Baden Bartender/Timo Gryneus (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/ Cheryl Montgomery (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/Concierge Farah Kimmel (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) * [Orbital Spa and Cruise] Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines/ Katrina Chapman (at Planet Baden Baden in Stuttgart) ˙The finest foods in all of Sirius are brought in from Stuttgart and hand-delivered to our exclusive clientele.

Beat it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477288: * [The Coalition] Anna Chernenko (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Instead of making surplus food, we use the spare room in our biodomes to harvest synthetic crops out of which we can make liquor for so-called 'morale' purposes. I'm pretty sure the factor that came up with that idea was drunk at the time. Oh well, no matter, it is the best vodka in Sirius, after all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477287: * [The Coalition] Anna Chernenko (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Some of our troops take Synthetic Marijuana, although I'm not sure why. The brass don't seem to mind, although they really clamp down on Cardamine. They claim that it's capitalist chains in a narcotic format. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477286: * [The Coalition] Anna Chernenko (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Our biodomes make synthetic food, similar to the ones owned by the Alliance Synth Foods corporation. Frankly, it tastes boring, but it's good for you, and keeps us healthy. Can't complain, I guess, although I absolutely love it when we get shipments of fresh food from the LWB. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477271: * [The Coalition] Anton Borodin (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .The Alliance better watch their backs - they won't get away from us that easily, oh no. Just like we liberated Sol from their capitalist agenda in a single, striking blow many years ago, so will we take Sirius from their hands as well. There's no escape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477273: * [The Coalition] Anton Borodin (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .You know, not all of us come from these worthless Alliance planets. The ones that founded the Coalition in Sirius, the true revolutionaries, all came from Sol on two of the greatest ships ever built by humanity. The sleeper ships were nothing compared to them! It's a shame they were lost during Aeon's uprising... what am I talking about... the story from a computer game my son was playing last night... hey, fetch me another drink! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477272: * [The Coalition] Anton Borodin (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Even here, after being faced with ultimate defeat, the Alliance is unable to work together as a whole. This is why we will win: their own people will rebel against the powerplaying ways of their governments. Don't believe me? It already started in Rheinland, it is only a matter of time until it starts elsewhere as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477274: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Gorodok Bartender/Boris Ignatievich (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .The rules here are a bit more relaxed than on our other stations. The boys and girls of the Fighter Corps need to let off steam after all, seeing as they see so much conflict. Just don't shoot anyone and we won't have a problem. You don't want us to have a problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477276: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Gorodok Bartender/Boris Ignatievich (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .The vast majority of our recruits that aren't of Coalition descent can't pronounce the name of this station, 'Zvezdny Gorodok', so tend to call it 'Star City'. It's either that or 'Moon Base', which is a common one too. They might be the elite, but nobody ever accused our fighter jocks of being smart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477275: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Gorodok Bartender/Boris Ignatievich (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .We get our booze shipped over from Mykolaiv every few days. It's bloody typical Coalition to have large chunks of our important biodomes being used to produce synthetic vodka. Funnily enough, unlike synthetic food, synthetic vodka is even better than the real stuff. Just goes to show, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477283: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Mykolaiv Bartender/Wolfgang Leibnitz (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .I used to be Bundschuh, you know. They were mostly consisting of academic dissidents like myself, but I never really liked their approach much. They weren't as disciplined and organised as I believed a revolution should be. The Coalition, however, has discipline of iron. Don't let the off-duty fighter jocks on Zvezdny Gorodok let you think otherwise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477284: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Mykolaiv Bartender/Wolfgang Leibnitz (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Most revolutionaries in Sirius, particularly in Rheinland, are sell-outs. Today, they have mostly given up on their ideals, and care more about drugs and cash. What happened to revolution? What happened to the people? They need something more. They need us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477285: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Mykolaiv Bartender/Wolfgang Leibnitz (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .I spend a lot of my free time creating propaganda posters and holos to be broadcast in Rheinland. We mostly focus on the inconsistencies in their state religion, since it is a sore point for many academics in Rheinland, and an easy target for ourselves. We can make their troops drop like flies without firing a shot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477298: * [The Coalition] Coalition/Sevastopol Bartender/THX-1138 (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) Please insert drink token. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477278: * [The Coalition] Doctor Petr Gorodetsky (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .In my spare time last year I developed a cheap pharmaceutical that instantly cures a hangover. Funnily enough, a lot of the Fighter Corps claim that it's for wimps when they stop by here. They still drop in to see me in the morning. Bloody hotshot poseurs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477277: * [The Coalition] Doctor Petr Gorodetsky (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .I'm in charge of medical here. Why am I in the bar? For vodka, obviously. It isn't that bad for you, you know. Good for mental health, what with all the folk getting killed out in space. Helps the boys deal with the horrors of war, seeing as we don't have much in the way of post-trauma counsellors on base here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477279: * [The Coalition] Doctor Petr Gorodetsky (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Many of our troops, particularly commanding officers, have their minds and psychologies altered via drug therapy and hypnosis sessions. Marines, for instance, are often changed so that they are more prone towards heroic revolutionary action, being made more bold and assertive. Unfortunately, this tends to make them unpredictable in peaceful environments, due to increased aggression. Some officers, particularly in the Fighter Corps, are against this, saying that intense training is preferable to screwing with the brains of our soldiers. I agree but, after all, orders are orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477291: * [The Coalition] Jingfen Cixi (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Our capital class vessels are named after terrible storms. It's rather fitting, really. They're fast, loud and dangerous, sweeping all before them, like a force of nature. Indeed, the Coalition itself is a force of nature. It's part of natural evolution for the men and women of humanity to rise up in a bloody fight for equality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477290: * [The Coalition] Jingfen Cixi (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Our destroyers make use of Cyclone Orbital Bombardment Missiles, which can be used to take out planet-based military installations or to damage enemy battle-stations. Unfortunately, they take too long to prime, so are of next to no use against enemy spacecraft. We're working on it though, don't you worry. We'll have those massive payloads taking down battleships within the year... I can't wait to see such destructive power in so compact a frame! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477289: * [The Coalition] Jingfen Cixi (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .We managed to finish constructing a destroyer in a period of under three weeks last month! That's the fastest we've built one yet, thanks to advances in automisation, as well as the training of our engineering crews! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477294: * [The Coalition] Julia Sanchez (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .We know what it's like to be hungry. We would wish that on nobody. We also know what it's like to kill those that get in our way. We will do so, as we don't have room to be weak here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477293: * [The Coalition] Julia Sanchez (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .One of the few places where the Coalition doesn't really draw recruits is Malta. The Outcasts are pretty happy with their sick, drug-dealing lot, and even if those bastards weren't happy with it, it's not as if they could really change sides, what with the addictions and all. As things are, I'll be happy when we turn the face of Malta into glass. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477292: * [The Coalition] Julia Sanchez (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .I'm a Corsair girl, I am! Along with the rest of the crew of the Osiris-class 'Havana', I defected to join the Coalition in its war against the Alliance! We will rely on smuggling alien trinkets and robbing our fellow man and woman to end our hunger no longer! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477263: * [The Coalition] Natalia Ogachevsky (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Many of us Coalition pilots are born and bred Revolutionaries, descended from the spies and saboteurs that our ancestors had placed upon the Hispania. Nowadays, though, we are getting recruits from across the sector, some of which take on traditional Coalition names upon joining. Of course, we welcome them all with open arms, since we need the help, and we fight for all humanity! The Grand Admiral himself is a Bretonian, after all! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477262: * [The Coalition] Natalia Ogachevsky (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .I fly regular patrols around Omega-52 as a part of the defensive fleet. Sometimes I dream of joining the much more romantic fighter assault wings, but I fear that I'm not good enough... and it's dangerous out there, so the assault wings need to be elite. Fortunately for ourselves in the guard forces, the attack fighters' fearsome reputation tends to scare people away from attacking us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477264: * [The Coalition] Natalia Ogachevsky (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .We're better than all the other so-called revolutionary movements in Sirius! We aren't pirates, and we're not just in it for ourselves. My commanding officer says that we know that the real problem is the governments in Sirius and we're out to take their place, even if we have to kill millions on the way! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477295: * [The Coalition] Nguyen Chung (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .On the 'Karl Marx', we have a tradition of having the ship's Captain pick a thought for the day from Coalition inspirational literature. Common thoughts are along the lines of 'You have nothing to lose but your chains' and such like. If things haven't been as tight as they should be, we sometimes get the likes of 'Double check cruise engine's pulse generator'. The inspirational literature that is taken from is probably 'Engineering 101'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477296: * [The Coalition] Nguyen Chung (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .We refuel the capital fleet here, using fuel from the gas giant that you can see from the viewport there. We're lucky we're halfway across the sector from the Gas Miners Guild, because we'd be screwed if they had gotten here first. They might just be a mining corporation, but those bastards know how to fight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477297: * [The Coalition] Nguyen Chung (at Sevastopol Depot in Omega-52) .It's much more relaxing here. I don't think there's ever been a barfight on this station. Hell, on Star City there was once a drunken shootout in the bar! A shootout! That would never happen here, it's too risky with all the volatile gasses kept on board. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477268: * [The Coalition] Nikita Klitschko (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Hey, if you even think of uploading any poncy music onto that jukebox, I'll knock you for six. The Fighter Corps like to rock, comrade, and we rock hard. Don't bother us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477270: * [The Coalition] Nikita Klitschko (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .I've seen some horrible things, my friend. Most of the kids I knew grewing up have died in combat. They were lucky, since I'm stuck with these nightmares whenever I fall asleep. I jump at the slightest noise after I lost all my wingmen in Rheinland. Only thing keeping me sane is this place, buddy. Man, I need another drink. And a smoke. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477269: * [The Coalition] Nikita Klitschko (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Y'know, I love you, comrade, and it's not the vodka talking. Naw, I'm not like Commander Weise or Al-Rahan, buddy, I'm just your mate, right? Actually, I don't feel so good. I think I need another drink. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477281: * [The Coalition] Professor Maria Frunze (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .Rumour has it that various groups have access to cloaking technology. According to my sources, the Rheinland Military made use of it during the Nomad War, as did the Order. Maybe it's related to those aliens they're fighting? Who knows? Maybe that's something intelligence can look into. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477282: * [The Coalition] Professor Maria Frunze (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .We've done many conclusive tests on the jump holes in this system. They appear to be very stable. In fact, I would say that our studies of jump holes are amongst the most complete in Sirius. We, like the others that arrived on the Hispania, make extensive use of them, as opposed to the artificially created wormholes in jump-gates. Ironically enough, the Coalition back in Sol had developed primitive in-system jump-gates, which we no longer have the know-how to recreate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477280: * [The Coalition] Professor Maria Frunze (at Mykolaiv Research Station in Omega-52) .I'm working on stealth technology for our ships just now. Humanity has basically went through an utter technological dark age for the past eight hundred years or so. Back in the Sol System, centuries ago, the Coalition made heavy use of cloaking devices, particularly on the Basilisk space superiority fighter.Everything must have been much better back then, considering the discoveries their scientists had made. Nowadays, we don't even know where to begin! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477267: * [The Coalition] Yao Ming (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Sometimes we in engineering get a lot of flak from the fighter pilots, since we're not on the front lines for the most part. We don't deserve it, since we work ridiculous shifts keeping them space-borne, and it's our skills that stop their ships decompressing in vacuum. Then again, I don't envy those lunatics...I've no idea, even counting the technological support they have, how they manage to come out on top, in spite of insane odds, so often. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477265: * [The Coalition] Yao Ming (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .Man, I'm glad my shift is over. I had to put so many of our Insurgent classes back together this afternoon. The fighter jocks think that because it's of a rugged, modular design that they can treat them like they're invincible! I guess that's to be expected since they aren't the ones that have to put the bits back together, they just magically get repaired behind the scenes. Sometimes I'm tempted to take the day off and show them how important it is to look after their gear but then it would be my fault if someone died and I couldn't live with that, even if it was that bastard that keeps calling the support teams a bunch of wimps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #477266: * [The Coalition] Yao Ming (at Zvezdny Gorodok in Omega-52) .I helped my CO design the KSD series fighters. The man's a genius and I'm damn proud to have played a part, however small, in seeing his creations take to the skies, scaring the crap out of the Alliance scum. In fact, I hear they call them names like 'Fiends' and 'Demons'. At least that's one thing we can agree on... fighting them would be hell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504943: * [The Council] Civilian/ David Blaine (at Montmirail Base in Champagne) .Welcome to Nimes, stranger. I'm taping a street magic special. You wanna see some magic? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504944: * [The Council] Civilian/ David Blaine (at Montmirail Base in Champagne) .See the bartender over there, stranger? Order me some orange soda please. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504902: * [The Council] Council/ Florence Burby (at Reunion in Orkney) * [The Council] Montpellier Bartender/Remy de Lisle (at Montpellier Guard Station in Languedoc) .Some of the High Command suspected that the Junkers were related to the Gallic secret services and had a hidden agenda. Most others thought that the Junkers' only goal was attaining wealth by any means necessary. Somehow nobody seemed to realise that neither goal contradicts the other one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504901: * [The Council] Council/ Florence Burby (at Reunion in Orkney) .One of the most unpleasant revelations that we have had is that the Junkers are present all across Sirius and that no one really knows of their true origins, not even most of the Junkers themselves. It is highly likely that the Junkers were agents of the Royal Dynasty. If so, the government has an immense amount of information on what is happening in Sirius right now, information they could perhaps use against us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504900: * [The Council] Council/ Michel Bleriot (at Reunion in Orkney) .We never had much information about what was happening outside Gallia to begin with. We could only buy the occasional pieces of data delivered by Junker agents, for a very high price. Our knowledge of the other Houses is very patchy and incomplete at best, while our government knows considerably more, as they can afford the high prices the Junkers demand for their information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504955: * [The Council] Council/ Olivier Riberac (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .The Sirius Neural Net that the Junkers transferred to Gallia contains publically available information on all Houses, including interactive data archives, billions of web sites, and massive amounts of technical stuff. It is what was called an internet archive in ancient times, only much faster and containing confidential information that very few users have access to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504954: * [The Council] Council/ Olivier Riberac (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .The Junkers created the first nigh complete backup for the Sirius Neural Net in about 770 A.S. The data occupied over 140 exabytes of disk space. To transfer it using the compact ships that were used for getting through the mine fields, Gallic engineers had to produce new modifications of small, energy efficient and extremely fast hard drives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504956: * [The Council] Council/ Olivier Riberac (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .Neural Net backups were transferred to Gallia from Sirius three times, in 770 A.S., in 792 A.S. and, most lately, in 810 A.S. The latest copy is the one that the Council bought from the Junkers for about 5 billion credits just recently. The price is very high, and a month before, when the mine field was not breached yet, they demanded ten times more! It was well worth it though. Imagine, almost 200 exabytes of data... Not easy to find needles in a haystack, of course, but the Junkers had catalogued all of the valuable stuff before it was transferred to Gallia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504880: * [The Council] Council/ Philippe Cheney (at Planet Quillan in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/ Diane Lalique (at Planet Quillan in Languedoc) .Many Council families had settled on Quillan after the Gallic Army corps on the planet were defeated. They thought that the planet would now be safe from the Royal Navy. Now few of us believe that we'll hold Quillan for long after the main naval forces enter the system. We only have a few months to evacuate the colonists to a new location. Dozens of thousands of colonists, and we don't even know where to go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504884: * [The Council] Council/ Philippe Cheney (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Christine Eliade (at Reims Station in Champagne) .They say that the King was in a panic when he heard that the Languedoc defenses had been breached by our military. I doubt that it's true. The King could order his fleets to reinforce the Languedoc defenses long ago, but he did not do that. Most of my comrades disregard my suspicions, but I can't help thinking that we had all fallen into a carefully prepared trap. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504899: * [The Council] Council/Captain Charles Aiton (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Maquis/ Amelie Mounier (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .Have you ever heard about a corporation named Solar Engineering? It's one of the major economical powers in Gallia with extensive ties with the Royal Family, the Royal Navy and some of the prominent members of the Cabinet. You won't see any of their ships in the Border Worlds. The war is bad for business. What is surprising is that they cancelled all their Border Worlds endeavours long before the Second Gallic War had started. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504882: * [The Council] Council/Captain Jerome Marquette (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) .My heavy fighter wing initially had 8 ships in it. We were fighting alongside each other for six years, in Burgundy, Dauphine, and then here. Before 816 A.S. - this new Sirius chronology is hard to adopt, but I'm trying - our wing only lost one ship near Gap. And then that battle for Montpellier... I was the only one who survived. What will I tell to their wives and kids if I survive the next Naval assault? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504886: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Bernard Gracq (at Reunion in Orkney) * [The Council] Reunion Bartender/Jean-Paul Duverger (at Reunion in Orkney) * [The Council] Council/Captain Anne-Marie Soufflot (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Maurice Jobert (at Limoux Base in Languedoc) .All the newcomers are so curious about Gallia's borders and what lies within. We can give you some basic information, but the rest you will have to discover for yourself. It may well be dangerous, but it will also be rewarding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504903: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Bernard Gracq (at Reunion in Orkney) .We are negotiating with the Independent Miners right now. We have to trade our technology for the extended star maps that the IMG are using, maps much more detailed than ones found in the Sirius Neural Net. The goal is to use those maps to find a new home for us, or at least a hideout to escape the advancing forces of the Royal Navy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504881: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Christine Eliade (at Planet Quillan in Languedoc) * [The Council] Maquis/ Camille Beaumont (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .The operation in Languedoc was a risky one, and we all knew right from the start that many of us wouldn't survive the upcoming battles. The rumors we hear about the Gallic Navy's military buildup in Dauphine seem to indicate that those battles were just the beginning. Our only chance is to flee to Sirius and seek a safe haven in some desolate system that the Royal Navy won't be able to reach before we set up a better defense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504883: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Jaques Merle (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/ Lili Marvingt (at Montmirail Base in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Captain Denis Legaut (at Battleship Chaumont in Champagne) .The Gallic Royal Navy is only now starting to rally against us. Earlier they thought that we were not much of a serious threat, but breaching the Languedoc Mine Field enraged the King and his admirals enough for them to launch a full frontal assault against us. Hopefully now the Sirius nations will see what the Monarchy is truly up to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504891: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Jaques Merle (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/Captain Charles Aiton (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Montmirail Bartender/Yvette Gallieni (at Montmirail Base in Champagne) * [The Council] Chaumont Bartender/Michel Roux (at Battleship Chaumont in Champagne) .How can we fight a war with the most powerful Navy in Sirius with considerable success? The answer is: resources. Many of the Council are former military officers. We have the money, the manpower and the ships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504889: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Leon Boulez (at Montpellier Guard Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/ Constance Guischard (at Chalons-en-Champagne Station in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Leon Boulez (at Courville Wreck in Champagne) .Minefields consist of millions of mines. All of them were produced by Solar Engineering and EFL in their facilities all over Gallia, and then carried to Languedoc and Lorraine to be set in position by trained Navy personnel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504888: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Leon Boulez (at Montpellier Guard Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Maquis/ Camille Beaumont (at Mazagran Depot in Champagne) * [The Council] Maquis/ Amelie Mounier (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .You probably think that breaching a mine field is an easy task. One mine explodes, and other nearby mines explode in a chain reaction. Reality is much more complicated: Gallic mines are resistant to nearby explosions and even weapon fire, and each one has to be defused manually. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504894: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Marie Debord (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Civilian/ Marie-Louise Bugatti (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/ Amy Nanette (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/ Fabien Deprez (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .We split up with Maquis for political reasons, to distance ourselves from their terrorist ideals. But I understand them, and why they do what they do. Many of those who joined the Maquis lost their families and friends when the government started repressing the populations of the central planets. They have nothing left to lose. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504898: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Nino Ethelbert (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Council/ Helene Ambler (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Chalons-en-Champagne Bartender/Anatole Godenot (at Chalons-en-Champagne Station in Champagne) .The Junkers are a faction trusted by no one, yet needed by everyone. By lawfuls, to gain information on pirates; by pirates, to gain information and goods from lawfuls; and even by us, to support our economy that has become an integral part of the Gallic black market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504896: * [The Council] Council/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Marie Debord (at Courville Wreck in Champagne) .I must admit that Marne has become a terrible place. We would never admit this in public, but we don't have nearly enough ground troops to enforce law and order there. Criminals swagger about like they own the whole planet, and there is precious little we can do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504904: * [The Council] Council/Paulina Leveque (at Reunion in Orkney) .It is no longer a secret: we trade technologies with the Independent Miners Guild. They are a peaceful faction independent of other Houses, and they share many of our concepts and ideas. In addition to that, the IMG has powerful enemies to defend oneself against. I think that we were lucky that they were the first faction we met when we reached the Orkney system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504887: * [The Council] Council/Paulina Leveque (at Reunion in Orkney) * [The Council] Council/ Philippe Cheney (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Nino Ethelbert (at Macon Base in Burgundy) .Isn't it ironic? International English was the only language used for communication within the Alliance for centuries. When we arrived on New Paris, every citizen could speak English perfectly, and the younger generations studied French as a foreign language. Now, of course, it's different, but most Gallic citizens speak English well enough. The day has come when we can finally put this knowledge to good use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504893: * [The Council] Macon Bartender/Guillaume Wibert (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Leon Boulez (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .The economy of the Council is based on smuggling and illegal trade. This might not match the ideas and long-term goals of the Council, but sometimes you have to make compromises in order to achieve your objectives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504895: * [The Council] Maquis/ Amelie Mounier (at Limoux Base in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Marie Debord (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Julie Danvers (at Reims Station in Champagne) .The history of Gallia is a sad mixture of glory and despair. Technological breakthroughs and unmatched military power were bought for the price of widespread poverty and suppressing the last remnants of democracy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504897: * [The Council] Marne Bartender/Felix Ada (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Captain Denis Legaut (at Chalons-en-Champagne Station in Champagne) * [The Council] Marne Bartender/Fabien Denard (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .Several central cities of Marne are under the full protection of Council. There we train our recruits, build ship components, weaponry, and equipment. But I cannot say that people there are richer or living better than before. They just gained more freedom, but freedom is rarely enough to survive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504892: * [The Council] Nimes Bartender/Adrien Gallieni (at Nimes Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Raoul Bussey (at Macon Base in Burgundy) * [The Council] Council/ Fabien Deprez (at Reims Station in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Leon Boulez (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .Now I realize that the war was inevitable right from the start. There was never really much hope that we could convince those government pigs to change their minds. Someday we should overthrow the government and dispose of the King. Yeah, that simple. History repeats itself, you know. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504953: * [The Council] Quillan Bartender/Yves Blanchard (at Planet Quillan in Languedoc) * [The Council] Council/ Lili Marvingt (at Chalons-en-Champagne Station in Champagne) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Thomas Winchcombe (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .Neural Nets of Gallia and Sirius are based on similar principles and, therefore, are easy to integrate. They are both based off the Alliance computer architecture that developed differently in Gallia and Sirius during the last eight hundred years, but still retains similar origin, and, moreover, is backward compatible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504885: * [The Council] Reims Bartender/Joel Bayrou (at Reims Station in Champagne) * [The Council] Civilian/ Marie-Louise Bugatti (at Planet Marne in Champagne) .We are fully aware of the dangers that Sirius could pose to our nation. But the greater danger comes from within. Our government is seeking military supremacy over the whole of Sirius, and many of us think that it's something more than simple revenge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504890: * [The Council] Reunion Bartender/Jean-Paul Duverger (at Reunion in Orkney) * [The Council] Council/Lt. Marie Debord (at Montpellier Guard Station in Languedoc) * [The Council] Maquis/ Camille Beaumont (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .Setting up the mine fields was an extremely lengthy process. It took over a hundred and fifty years to complete, and Gallia had to face the constant risk of being discovered by some hapless explorer from Sirius. Unfortunately, their space exploration advanced far slower than ours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504917: * [The Maquis] Limoux Bartender/Maximilien Bellamont (at Limoux Base in Languedoc) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Blaise Trochu (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .The Council are too weak. They don't understand that the King won't notice how many Royal Navy ships they destroy in places like Burgundy or Lorraine. That inbred moron of a King will notice only when we detonate a bomb inside his own palace. A nice big explosion, that's what we need to get his attention. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504919: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Gaspard Flaubert (at Montbard Base in Burgundy) * [The Maquis] Grenoble Bartender/Albert Tailleferre (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .They say that the monarchy was selected as the most efficient political regime to base our new nation on, shortly after we arrived on New Paris. Thousands of dissidents rotting in prisons all over Gallia is a perfect example of where this efficiency leads us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504924: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Julien Belmont (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Pierre Dabney (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .What has happened to Marne's economy after the Council established its control over the planet? Theoretically, all the factories should have stopped because they don't have any market to supply their manufactured goods to. In fact, more than 70% of those factories are still working. How is it possible? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504921: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Julien Belmont (at Mazagran Depot in Champagne) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Gaspard Flaubert (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .The Unione Corse don't like our involvement in political affairs. But politics is life, and we have to influence the way our homeland is going. If it's going the wrong way, our duty is to fix those things that we feel need fixing, whatever the cost to ourselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504925: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Maurice Jobert (at Planet Quillan in Languedoc) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Blaise Trochu (at Mazagran Depot in Champagne) .I hear rumours that the Junkers proved to be traitors who sold information on Sirius to our government. I'm not surprised at all. The Junkers are scum who should have been exterminated a long time ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504923: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Pierre Dabney (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Gaspard Flaubert (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Julien Belmont (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .Marne became a safe haven for us, the Brigands, and even the Unione Corse. The Council are trying to conceal the truth, but it's obvious that they cannot control the whole planet's surface. Many of the old factories have switched to producing ships and weapons for pirates. Why do you think piracy is on the rise? Because of this war? No, because the pirates can openly manufacture ships and weapons on Marne, that's why. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504918: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Samuel Douay (at Limoux Base in Languedoc) * [Gallic Brigands] Montbard Bartender/Bernard Auric (at Montbard Base in Burgundy) * [The Maquis] Verdun Bartender/Victor Lafargue (at Verdun Base in Lorraine) .If not for us, the Gallic mass media probably wouldn't even report about the events going on here. After a couple of buildings explode in the neighborhood, the population becomes more attentive to the frontier reports, and the government can no longer conceal the truth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504920: * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Samuel Douay (at Limoux Base in Languedoc) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Pierre Dabney (at Macon Base in Burgundy) .Our leaders say that the Council is heavily dependent on our help. This is only a small part of the unpleasant truth: in reality, we need the Council far more than the Council needs us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504922: * [The Maquis] Mazagran Bartender/Timothee Bleriot (at Mazagran Depot in Champagne) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Julien Belmont (at Planet Marne in Champagne) * [The Maquis] Maquis/ Julien Belmont (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .Have you been to Marne? This place became something really special. Citizens are enforcing law and order in the settlements themselves, without any supervision. Outside the cities, there is no law. Bandits roam the countryside, pirate groups build their own small settlements and even launch sites for their ships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525840: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .My colleagues here on Toledo tell me that Tekagi's Arch has been inhabited once again by the infested humans known as the "Wild", but at this present time we do not have the available forces to mount any kind of attack against it. The Blood Dragons and the Golden Chrysanthemums have been alerted to the nature of the threat, and I can only hope that they are capable of keeping them in check for the time being. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525839: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .I hate the fact that the Order are so badly misrepresented by all the Sirius Houses, especially with all the work that has been done to keep them safe from the Nomads. I have been trying to use my contacts back on planet Cambridge to get the Queen to acknowledge their sacrifices for the good of humanity, and we seem to have some progress. The problem is actually getting someone close to the Queen to actually listen to us, before we can even consider getting an audience with the Queen herself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525837: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .These Nomads who have infested people...these "Wild", as people refer to them as...they seem to be operating somewhat beyond the normal levels of autonomy of Nomads as we understand it. Perhaps it is prolonged integration with a human host, I don't know, but they certainly seem to be able to function better on their own and for longer periods and distances from the rest of this telepathic network that they appear to have. Don't ask me what the telepathic network is exactly, because it's very difficult to explain, and I'd have to use a lot of language that you wouldn't understand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525835: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .After the end of the Nomad War, I decided that my skills and knowledge would be better served with the Order. Besides, I wanted to learn more about the Daam-K'Vosh! Oh, if only my peers at the Cambridge Institute could see me now! They'd die of envy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525838: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .Planet Nauru? Oh yes, in the Omicron Delta system. Those ruins are quite impressive, and all the more so for not even knowing who built them. It definitely wasn't the Daam-K'Vosh or the Slomon K'Hara, and although some artifacts discovered match with technology used by the Phantom terrorist organisation, they did not create it and they did not build the ruins either. Quite a mystery, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525836: * [The Order] The Order/Kendra Sinclair (at Planet Toledo in Omicron Minor) .Yes, I remember Edison Trent. He was a bit too mercenary for my tastes, but he came through in the end for humanity. Whatever else that could be said about him, humanity owes him a great debt, as we couldn't have defeated the Nomads without all his help. As for where he is now? I have no idea. The last I heard he was in Liberty, working on something for the Order, but he could be anywhere now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504928: * [Unione Corse] Bourbon Bartender/Michel Lescout (at Bourbon Base in Burgundy) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Zacharie Jacob (at Mazagran Depot in Champagne) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Zacharie Jacob (at Grenoble Depot in Dauphine) .The Council are idealistic fools destined to lose. The Brigands are not trustworthy, but they've certainly got the musclesto flex, if only they could co-ordinate themselves effectively. The only group we are willing to deal with are the Maquis, who at least have a spine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #504926: * [Unione Corse] Montelimar Bartender/Jean-Baptiste Vigny (at Montelimar Base in Dauphine) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Gaston Voynet (at Montelimar Base in Dauphine) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Jose Theobald (at Bourbon Base in Burgundy) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Gustave Prevert (at Bourbon Base in Burgundy) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Eugene Vigny (at Joinville Base in Champagne) * [Unione Corse] Unione Corse/ Gustave Prevert (at Thionville Base in Lorraine) .The Unione Corse don't spread rumours around like gossiping housewives.

We mind our business. Go away and mind yours before it's too late. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133882: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Gerd Bender (at Kreuzberg Depot in New Berlin) ˙The Junkers have approached us with a proposal to smuggle Artifacts and Cardamine into Dawson. We have not accepted, although it would be very lucrative and give us much more money to buy ships and weapons. If the Unioners became drug addicts and smugglers like the Rogues, then we would deserve to be called common criminals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #133880: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Gerd Bender (at Kreuzberg Depot in New Berlin) ˙We use this base to attack the Republican Shipping imperialists within New Berlin. It's also a convenient place to purchase proper Rheinland Side Arms at a good price.

Just watch out for Bounty Hunters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131479: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Hartmut Rosa (at Freeport 2 in Bering) ˙The current workers in the Alster Shipyards and Altona hate us for the attacks we make against their manufactories, but they dont understand the way they are being exploited by Republican Shipping. If only they could open their eyes, wed have more strong hands to join us in our cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131478: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Hartmut Rosa (at Freeport 2 in Bering) ˙We left Hamburg for this system after we reformed into the Unioners, but too many of us flooded onto this Freeport. It was an obvious target for the Rheinland Military, so the Zoners eventually asked us to leave. We put our skills to use and carved a hidden base out of an asteroid in the Tanner Asteroid Field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131504: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Heinz Erhardt (at Dawson Base in Hudson) ˙We sell our smuggled Diamonds from Kreuzberg here. It's a dangerous journey through Hamburg, but well worth it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131505: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Heinz Erhardt (at Dawson Base in Hudson) ˙Our base is through the Jump Hole to Bering. We don't really like to stay long in this system -- the Xenos hate us for some reason. The Rogues here are a rough, uncultured lot, but they buy our Diamonds.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131506: * [Unioners] Unioners/ Heinz Erhardt (at Dawson Base in Hudson) ˙We would prefer to live in Rheinland, but Republican is too strong.

We supply all Liberty Navy and LPI bases with Food, Water, Oxygen, and H-Fuel. Usually the escorts we get are LPI or the navy to bring these goods in, so it is a pretty safe run.

It's a cakewalk through Liberty, even the Texas system isn't that bad. Then wham, you hit the Independent Worlds. We have to rearm in Houston and beef up the escorts for the rest of the trip here.

True, we fight the Junkers because of their role in it, but not because we want it. We want to stop it. It's one of the biggest corrupting factors in Liberty, and it's rotting the core of Liberty's soul, and destroying it's workers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466674: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Carl Johnson (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) Our opperations in New York were based mainly around Detroit base where we would lift side arms, but now we've redirected some of our forces to grab mining convoys heading to Pittsburgh.

They don't know what we want them for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466654: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/David Chambers (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) If I were you, I wouldn't play cards with our Equipment dealer.

Some sort of Zoner heavy fighter gave him a visit and showed him the error of his ways. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466649: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Jack Tar (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Well, if you've been with us for a while you'll notice we've just got some ships here on Alamo and over on Refugio. We sealed a deal with the Zoners and a few independent ship dealers. Saves alot of our precious credits in the long run. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466650: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Jack Tar (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Since we "evicted" DSE from the Alamo, this has been the main supply and equipment base for the Xeno Guard. I think you'll notice that our best equipment is available here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466680: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Keth Sarlo (at Gonzales Station in Tau-45) The Hawk's got some moves, looks darn sleek, can mount a CD all in a package that's still incapable of actually doing any lasting damage to anything that can actually defend itself for a darn. It can, however, put the hurt on some lower level vessels and is ideal for those Xenos looking to punch the ticket of smarmy junkers and other ne'er-do-wells on a budget. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466679: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Keth Sarlo (at Gonzales Station in Tau-45) The Blazer is the traditional ship of the training wing. With decent armor, huge size, no CD and abhorrently underpowered guns you'll be guaranteed a lifestyle of learning how to be sneaky, avoiding fights you can't win and group think mentality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466667: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Kevin Fitzgerald (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) Despite the clamoring that we should seek ties with those other 'unlawful' faction within Liberty, the pirating Rogues and slave trading Junkers, the only groups with whom we have any accord are the Zoners, IMG and The Order. The Zoners are, well, the Zoners. But the IMG are almost like brothers in their struggle and The Order represents a righteousness and sense of justice that Liberty desperately needs to see return. That's why we remain neutral with both groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466668: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Kevin Fitzgerald (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) You think we'll ever complete our goals? I don't think we will in the near future, but we will suceed! Foregin companies can only take so many losses! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466669: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Kevin Fitzgerald (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) I sure like Barrow, but it it's mighty small and the lads over there speak kinda funny. A 'lil like this 'ere boy! Heheh, they crack me up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466660: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Laneth Ronin (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Leo Mathews is one of our native sons, born a Xeno of a family that these bases of ours was built around! The Mathews have been at the heart of the movement since the first layoffs back in 600 A.S. Rumor has it that the first Xeno to gun down an LPI officer was a Mathews, but who's to say? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466657: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Laneth Ronin (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Enjoying that drink? No? Well, that would be the fault of the boys over in Nome. They told us they hijacked an entire shipment of alcohol, so we told them to send it over. What they failed to mention was that it was all Liberty Ale. I'm going to smack their cargo master next time I'm over there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466673: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Malcom Renoylds (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Ethan Raine (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) Heh, it sure can get warm down by the hangers. If you want a warm room bed down over there, if you like a bit 'o nip to the nights, the upper levels away from the generators'd be a good choice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466672: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Malcom Renoylds (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Ethan Raine (at Refugio Base in Tau-45) Hell we had a few Bountry Hunters crash through the Kepler hole a few days back, musta been running from our Boys at Nome. We took em out just before they could transmit Refugio's location. Remember, a dead 'Hunter is a good 'Hunter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466658: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Nathan Williamson (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) In years past we relied on the Zoners for most of our food, water and good times breathing needs. But with the surpluses provided by Refugio we're more than self sufficient. Though we still need to retrieve some specialty supplies, such as pharmaceuticals, from the Mining guild on Freeport 4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466659: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Nathan Williamson (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Richard York, Captain of the Prospector and leader of the Sons of Liberty's no small legend amongst the Xenos. I'll bet them navy boys get a turn of their guts when that blip on their scopes turns out to be that gunboat of his! We used to mark the kills on the side of her hull, but we ran outa space ages ago! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466656: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Russel Graham (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Did you see the Alabama on the way in? We're rather proud of that catch. After the Navy lost it, they've kept their noses out of this system. We've thought about repairing it, but a Dreadnought is a bit beyond our skills and resources to operate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466655: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Russel Graham (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) When we get caught, the LPI just keep throwing us in Huntsville. I figure they would've learned that all that accomplishes is us recruiting new Xenos. Still, nobody expects the donut munchers to be smart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466677: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Ryton Harlo (at Gonzales Station in Tau-45) Gotta love the scenery here. Ice and water as far as the eye can see. At least the drinks are cheap. I just wish it wasn't that Liberty Ale garbage that the Alamo boys sent over. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466678: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Ryton Harlo (at Gonzales Station in Tau-45) The Kushan Freighter might be an ugly box, but if you put the right guns on it, it's the perfect tool for interdiciting trade and carrying off plenty of captured goods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466651: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Tenas Yeri (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) Too bad we can't get some more Synth Mary Jane in here. That's the only thing I like about Barrow. Unfortunately, making cargo runs from Barrow to here is dangerous, and many of our shipments don't make it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #466652: * [Xeno Guard] Xenos/Tenas Yeri (at Alamo Base in Tau-45) I wouldn't fly into New York if I were you, it's suicide. I hear that the Navy sends out a half-dozen capital ships at the sight of a single Xeno there. Heh, it's nice to be feared. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131480: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Gill Harries (at Freeport 2 in Bering) ˙This is one of the only bases around that lets us land. Those Zoners are good people, although they do seem to like foreigners a bit too much. We run supply shipments for basic needs like Food, Fuel, Oxygen, Pharmaceuticals, and Water from here to our base in Hudson. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131481: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Gill Harries (at Freeport 2 in Bering) ˙The Zoners run Side Arms from Hamburg to this Freeport. That's a big help for us, as otherwise we'd have nowhere else to get our guns for our base in the Hudson system. An unarmed Xeno doesn't last long in Barrow. Only problem is that the guns are Rheinland made; it's just too hard to get proper Liberty hardware in these parts.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131482: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Gill Harries (at Freeport 2 in Bering) ˙We like to hit Republican convoys in Bering whenever we can. Those Unioners hate 'em even more. That's what we like to see -- them killing each other off. One day this system will belong to just us and the Zoners, soon as we get the Rogues to see the light and join our cause.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131502: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) ˙We make supply runs and attack runs into the Bering system. We get our supplies from the Zoners at Freeport 2 and attack the Unioners. The Unioners should go back to Rheinland where they come from. This is Liberty space, and they got no business coming here. When we see Unioner ships we attack them. This is our space -- they can find some other place to steal.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131500: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) ˙As much as Xenos hate Junkers, we arent strong enough to get rid of those scavengers. They run the shipping points for inbound drug shipments into Liberty. First we gotta push the Junkers out of Texas, and then we need to find a way to kick the Junkers out of Liberty. Once thats done, no one will be able to stop the Xenos. We'll control the Cardamine that enters Liberty space, and those rich elites that run the show in Manhattan will be at our mercy.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131497: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) ˙Libertys plans for terraforming the Hudson systems planet Atka came to a rumbling halt in 771 when one of our attack squads blew up a Planetform terraforming vessel. Now those pitiful Bretonians wont even come into the system until it's more secure, which isnt going to happen anytime soon. This system will one day be the Liberty Free Republic -- for people just like us, who want to be left alone.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131501: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) ˙Hudson is perfect for our operations in this sector. The Jump Hole to Bering and our supply point at Freeport 2 is in the Wrangell Field -- where youll find plenty of Rogues, though they dont bother us too much. The Texas Jump Hole is in the Sitka Field. It's our portal for conducting business in Texas -- liberating our comrades from Huntsville, and hitting the Junkers and Outcasts.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131586: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Melvin Mitchell (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) ˙Samura and Kishiro make lots of supply runs through here, inbound for Colorado. Universal makes Side Arm shipments sometimes; that's the only time we get interested in Liberty shipping.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131584: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Melvin Mitchell (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) ˙This base keeps the northern Xeno alliance alive. Those Zoners are our saviors, although they share the base with those vile Bounty Hunters -- the scourge of the Sirius Sector. We ship supplies from here to our Denko Cloud base -- basic needs, such as Food, H-Fuel, Oxygen, Pharmaceuticals, and Water.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131585: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Melvin Mitchell (at Ames Research Station in Kepler) ˙We share this system with those posh Lane Hackers. They attract the Liberty Navy 'cause Ageira despises them. It's a nice dark system -- lots of places to hide. But you gotta have a decent shield if you want to hang out in the clouds 'cause of all the radiation from that dark matter, or whatever they call it.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131597: * [Xenos] Xenos/ Todd Denagi (at Nome Base in Kepler) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Homer Miles (at Nome Base in Kepler) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Don Strauss (at Nome Base in Kepler) ˙We might not have the best equipment or ships, but we're a lot better organized than we were. It was getting so bad that LPI and the navy almost won and ripped us out of Colorado. Now we have a focused agenda: we lift supplies from Kusari shipping, a little extortion here and there, switch out tired combat crews from Ouray, and then give them the supplies they need to continue the fight.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131498: * [Xenos] Xenos/Barrow Bartender/Bryan Roper (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Milford Bartender/Timothy Campbell (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Milford Base in Pennsylvania) ˙The LPI embodies everything that is wrong with Liberty. It shouldnt surprise anybody that most of the "criminals" that operate the Texas factories where rounded up for slave labor, not for any real crimes they committed.

The first of us captured were sent to the Huntsville in Texas, where we found others that saw the truth. Our numbers grew as we recruited from the prisons. LPI got wise after a while and started isolating Xenos from other inmates. They realized that for every Xeno they put away, three more converts would walk out five years later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #131495: * [Xenos] Xenos/Barrow Bartender/Bryan Roper (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Jared Clark (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Fredrick Drake (at Barrow Base in Hudson) * [Xenos] Xenos/ Walter Kane (at Barrow Base in Hudson) ˙Our base is actually an old abandoned mining plant from a time when Liberty did its mining.

It is a long run and quite dangerous in places, especially in the Taus, but it is worth it once you get there. I will soon have earned enough to retire.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525682: * [Zoners] Zoners/Hamal Kabir (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I know of a jump hole to the California system, in the far west of the system in relation to your nav map display. I hear either the Xenos or the Junkers have a base somewhere out that way too, but I wouldn't put too much stock in rumours. Never been out that way myself, I tend to stick to the trade lane network wherever I can, it is much safer.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525677: * [Zoners] Zoners/James Harkness (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .A vast majority of the Neon in Sirius comes from the planet Erie, and it has a number of commercial applications that have made it valuable. It is most commonly used in cryogenics and refrigeration since Nitrogen and Helium are rather more expensive to mine, although it is useful for constructing laser weaponry and other items. The Zoners mainly use it for helping to store our food and it gets shipped out to our Freeports all across Sirius.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525676: * [Zoners] Zoners/James Harkness (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I work in the Neon mining industry in the south, and it pays well but is quite dangerous. While Neon isn't flammable or particularly toxic, the gas exerts huge amounts of pressure on the rock, and when our drills break through into the gas pocket, there are dangers of cave-ins and collapses. I've lost several good friends over the years to rock falls and cave-ins.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525680: * [Zoners] Zoners/Jenny McCormick (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .You can get a good price for Gaian Wildlife here, if you happen to be over in Bretonia and are thinking of shipping something back.

I'm telling you now, it's disgusting. Then again, maybe you like Synth Paste? You look the type. In any case, I eventually got tired of living in the corporate state that is Liberty and decided to head out and live on Freeport 2 for a while, before being asked by a few friends to come here. It's not a bad place, but not where I envisioned ending up. Still, it is better than planet Los Angeles.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525678: * [Zoners] Zoners/Jenny McCormick (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .Looking for jump holes? Hmm, I can tell you where one is. Look on your Nav map. You'll find the Texas jump hole to the far south of this planet, even further south than the suns in this system. Be careful though, I hear there's a Liberty Rogue base out that way.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525674: * [Zoners] Zoners/Robert LaMarr (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .Cattle ranches are big business on Erie, although in the southern hemisphere there is quite a considerable amount of mining for Neon. There's a lot of Neon gas trapped in underground pockets, and it's extremely useful for various commercial applications, so the scientists and bigwigs tell me. I don't care really, so long as they leave me and my cattle alone.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525675: * [Zoners] Zoners/Robert LaMarr (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .There was a battle in early 767 A.S., right here in Allentown, which is the capital city of planet Erie as I'm sure you youngsters know already. We Zoners may be pacifistic and we try to keep a neutral stance, but we still get attacked, so we always have armed security for our protection. Anyway, these pirates attacked us and they'd landed their own forces to take control of the planet. Thing is, we don't like thuggish upstarts trying to take our homes away from us, and we gave 'em hell. Unfortunately, there were more of 'em than there were of us and if it weren't for the Liberty Navy intervening, Erie'd probably be a pirate stronghold by now. Of course, I doubt Liberty saved us out of the goodness of their hearts, as they themselves moved into the system a year later, but we still owe them our lives, so I guess we've got to thank them Libertonians for something.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumor #525673: * [Zoners] Zoners/Robert LaMarr (at Planet Erie in Pennsylvania) .I've lived on Erie all my life, right here in the planetary capital city of Allentown. My parents were advocates of the Zoner way of life, and helped settle this planet when I was only 5 years old. There used to be quite a few virulent microorganisms on Erie, but they can only be transmitted by insect bites. Thankfully, all of the insect carriers were eliminated during the initial settlement, so you don't need to worry about getting any shots during your stay.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Document Generated 2010-02-15T00:26:27-05:00
