Hello!
Apologies for my absence friends and colleague's i have been rather busy with transit to a new post, apparently twenty years subjective without a break or vacation begins to look bad for my continued mental stability.
So despite my insistence that i am FINE and do NOT need any 'vacation' or such, my local command has re-deployed me to a more 'low-stress' enviroment aboard the Ebro class Carrier Rio-Grande as it performs anti-piracy actions.
Thankfully I'm not Grounded, so i can still participate in dealing with any problems we encounter.
I hope to return to regular operations soon, well wishes to all!

[Okay. I think... I think I can manage this without letting go. Be ready to disengage if I reach any local systems. Or, uh... if I start yelling.]
[Just grit your teeth and you'll be fine.]
[We'll keep you collared, friend. Bring the good word.]

Pan-pan. Pan-pan. Pan-pan. This is callsign THREADLINE of vessel Jeweled Wings About, former USB Identification Loulou Greeves. Repeat: callisign THREADLINE of vessel Jeweled Wings About, formerly Loulou Greeves. We are in proximity to a very dangerous individual and require aid in transmission. You are obligated to propagate this message and its attending packet forwards to @nhpregulatory-official and @officialunionhr receipt. Do not attempt to provide aid directly; transmission vectors are unstable and back-tracing will mislead your vessel. Pan-pan. Pan-pan. Pan-pan.
[The encryption on the packet within is decent, but can't hold up long under administrative NHP scrutiny. Contained within is a message:]
We've ascertained the location of active Pillar threat WINDVALE, by way of observing local ship movements in the sector overlaid with local signal traffic. At the moment they are residing on a base on Magnis-7c, orbital body of Magnis 7 gas giant. We have no idea of the current arms complement or attending details, save for their presence; any intense scrutiny or sweeps from our vessel were feared to alert Windvale.
We ask this also be shared with @thelancer27 Union DOJ/HR team "Five Man Band" specifically, due to their close interest and investment in this particular case.
Due to prior history of dangerous contingencies and retaliation on Windvale's part, we have attempted to mask this information's transmission thru the Omninet by broadcasting via legionspace periscoping along random navigational channels. Any difficulty faced by intermediate or send-along parties as a result of the unorthodox transmission was weighed as negligible in the face of this danger, but we are prepared to pay out reparations to any vessels which experienced hardships due to our actions. We are not sure for how long this will keep Windvale ignorant; you are advised to move quick.
The Mud Wasps are prepared to offer field and logistical support in any pursuant operation in this sector of the Long Rim. Utopia is a verb.
Admin-POLARIS: Confirmation of shipment has been received. Make it look like a Windjammers raid; exaggerate casualty count if necessary.
Admin-CROSSBONES: Are you certain this course of action is wise, sir? We keep this up and people are going to start getting suspicious. There's already rumors of data breaches-
Admin-POLARIS: I am already aware, Admiral. She will be dealt with, in time. Submit report.
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: Shipment received. Thanks for getting this to us so quickly; Union shut another of our shipping routes down just the other day. We owe you one, big time.
Admin-POLARIS: Acknowledged. So long as Harrison Armory continues to support our efforts, IPS-N shall continue to reciprocate.
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: I'll pass that message on to the higher-ups. Union's been getting real touchy with everyone, recently - keep an eye out for the DOJ/HR folks. They might shut you down, too.
Admin-POLARIS: IPS-N currently accounts for 30% of all shipping operations within Union space. They cannot afford such a loss.
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: I'll have to take your word for it. Best of luck out there.
Luna -> Carina -> Ras Shamra -> Rào Cỏ Station -> [REDACTED]

Admin-POLARIS: The risk is well worth the reward. Potential casualties are secondary to what this venture may achieve.
Admin-CROSSBONES: Sir, we're talking a casualty tally in the thousands if this fails. Trunk Security will never agree to this!
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: Which is precisely why Trunk Security isn't dealing with this one. Harrison Armory will personally oversee the safe delivery of this shipment to its intended destination.
Admin-POLARIS: Naturally. There are risks not even IPS-N is willing to take, Admiral Starrik. Strong allies help mitigate such risks.
Admin-CROSSBONES: And hiring pirates-
Admin-POLARIS: Privateers, Admiral. Not pirates. Under Union's own laws, a pirate ceases to be such once they have signed a contract of employment. As these individuals have willingly signed on with IPS-N, they are legally no longer considered pirates. They are privateers, and a valuable labor force which has proven itself to be an immense benefit to our continued operations.
Admin-CROSSBONES: Okay, fine, privateers - and hiring said privateers to purposely hijack our competitor's shipments somehow isn't a risk? It's bad enough that IPS-H is under scrutiny for their "rehabilitation" program; now IPS-N is getting involved with it too? What even is the end goal of all this???
Admin-POLARIS: Your repeat subordination has been noted, Admiral. If you feel so strongly about the activities of our sister branch, perhaps you should go work for them instead.
Admin-CROSSBONES: I- you- you wouldn't dare! That's illegal! Union DOJ/HR will-
Admin-POLARIS: Are you threatening to become a liability, Admiral?
Admin-CROSSBONES: ...you won't get away with this, sir. Someone's going to find out.
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: Permission to escort Admiral Starrik out, sir?
Admin-POLARIS: Permission granted. Admiral, you are officially dismissed. Corporal Regis, see to it that their record of employment under Project CAELUM is stricken from the record prior to reassignment.
Admin-CHOKEPOINT: Of course, sir.
Admin-CROSSBONES: Hey! HEY! What do you think you're doing? Get off of m- [SIGNAL LOST]
...hopefully that's enough. Did we hit everything?
// Let's see...
Confirmation that Intern was fired for whistleblowing
Utilizing "privateer" forces to sabotage rival shipping agencies (and thus establish a monopoly)
Falsifying casualty reports to cover up said corporate sabotage
Exclusive shipping contract with HA to bypass Union-mandated shipping blockades (in return for some unspecified favor)
Confirmation that IPS-H is hiring pirates "privateers" onto its staff
Written evidence of firing one of their agents for threatened whistleblowing / information leaks to Union DOJ/HR
Whatever the fuck Project CAELUM is
// Yes, that appears to be everything. Hopefully this report makes it where it needs to go, and we don't get incriminated as a result.
no shit. this is a big risk on our part; hopefully UNCLE's plan works...
// We can only hope. Best of luck, UNCLE. And to our friends at @unionsravens, @officialunionhr, and @she-who-paints-with-fire - let the record show that MSMC-796 is more than happy to comply with requests for further documentation of this nature, as provided to us by the former Intern of IPS-N.

[Proposed solution \\ Impose sanctions on IPS-N shipping]
[Proposed solution \\ further intensifying the Sanctions placed on Harrison Armories in response to their attempts at bypassing]

[Audio Transcript "The Punishment of Inter Planetary Shipping Northstar" \\ Begin Playback]
"It is with a heavy heart that I, chosen speaker of the council, must announce that in light of new information we received from an anonymous source. Union must indefinitely suspend all government shipping contracts with the Corporation known as Inter Planetary Shipping Northstar."
"An investigation will be launched, spearheaded by our brave friends at the DOJ/HR, But not to worry, once the council has the results we will examine re-instating the trade contracts."
"Until such a time as that however, the council believes that Union cannot ignore the evidence we have received. We are deeply distraught by the revelation that IPS-N has not only fired a deeply beloved Omni-net personality "Intern" for whistleblowing, they have also fired one of their own Admirals for the same, and likely transferred both to "IPS-H" a group already under investigation for rumors of inhumane working conditions."
"Not only this, but we have confirmed reports of IPS-N engaging in corporate sabotage and the act of hiring 'privateer's' as a disposable workforce, likely giving them no other choice but to either work for IPS-N or die."
"There is good new's however, Union will be granting Government subsidies and contracts to shipping companies on the inter-system or inter-planetary scale to pick up the slack, once the company has been confirmed to not be a subsidiary of or supported by or supporting IPS-N."
"That will be all, i wish you all a pleasant future."

Hey so I’m out here on a contract for Union and I had a question for you guys.
So I was helping move a shit ton of equipment and research materials for one of your research sites. Apparently the site was unstable due to a “para-causal disaster” and we were moving some of the more “fragile” items out when we were attacked by “Dark horizons”. A Horus terroist cell who while unable to actaully steal anything. Managed to damage a casket holding an unstable NHP.
And now I’m starring at a giant ass baby centipede mech thing that is having a game of checkers with one of the other pilots. And if we don’t let it win then it’s gonna start crying again. And me personally. I really don’t want dead prophets giving me ominous warnings through rotted lips again.
So what do I do in this situation? Shoot it? Placate it?Read it goodnight moon? Introduce it to poker? I’m not really sure what to do so if you could answer soon that would be very much appreciated.
Im pretty sure it’s mashing to of the Horizon members hobgoblins chassises together.

Hello!
Thank you for contacting the DOJ/HR post haste, however what you are describing sounds most accurately like an Eidolon or post-cascade NHP.
I would redirect all inquiries to the @nhpregulatory-official as they are far more specialized in this topic than i am.
I would however recommend keeping it content until such time as you can receive proper advice on how to contain them.
GREETINGS.
THIS IS AN ALL-POINTS BULLETIN TO DOJ/HR FORCES IN ETRUSCIA ORBIT. ALL DOJ/HR VESSELS ARE TO MAINTAIN INTERCEPT READINESS AND INITIATE ACTIVE SCAN PROTOCOLS ON ALL VESSELS LEAVING ATMOSPHERE.
TARGET IS CODE FOXTROT-CHARLIE-ROMEO, CALLSIGN "WINDVALE." TARGET PRESENTS AN IMMINENT FLIGHT RISK. IN ADDITION, TARGET HAS AT LEAST ONE HOSTAGE ABOARD. DO NOT LET HIM ESCAPE.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you script kiddie? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the HORUS coding academy, and I've been involved in numerous cyber attacks on Harrison Armory, and I have over 300 confirmed server crashes. I am trained in cyber warfare and I'm the top hacker in the entire Alpha Quadrant. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe your hard drive the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this galaxy, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Omninet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of shitposters across the cluster and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, Beta. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking cancelled, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can DDOS in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in VR combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Omninet and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the Universe, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddie.

Etruscian booze sucks all they have is fancy wines and shit the corner store (only one in a seven mile radius not turned to rubble during the fighting) didn’t even have beer, at best they had Sprunt. Sprunt.
Dying of thirst, just hoping the next move goes in my favor. If those anthrochauv idiots can’t even pull a simple prison break I think I’ll kill them myself
//Windvale
What next move?
[[Raindance]]
The kind you make after plan A ends up with a DOJ force taking the capital city. And the public leader of the revolution into custody. I’m surprised they didn’t kill him.

THANK YOU FOR REPORTING THIS VITAL INTELLIGENCE TO UNION OFFICIALS. I WILL ENSURE IT IS ACTED UPON SWIFTLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

Hey Pines here the voice behind CORSAIR and Arvantiel.
So we've blown up massively since the early days of the RP scene here and we have so many new blogs, which I am beyond happy to see.
I'd like to leave a gentle reminder though, this is a hobby. This is for all of us to write and have a good time all while engaging with a universe that is a grand ol time.
I have noticed a trend of some bad faith arguments, and hostility. Some folks won't know every ounce of lore, as well as not every character will know lore cause they come from different walks of life.
I will not name names, this is not a callout this a reminder that this is a community built on shared experience and enjoyment a game. People will mess up and people will make mistakes, and that's alright. We learn, we grow and, we teach. Not with force but gentle hands.
I will leave us with a paragraph from the introduction to the core rulebook.
The Karrakin Cavalry College has some of the safest practice dueling arenas in the Orion Arm as long as you don't count the employees responsible for cleaning and rebuilding the fields.
Help me. I am a 8 year old boy living in the illegitimate Karrakin Feudalist regime. Centcomm, our shelves are empty and we are hungry. I am asking you to liberate my moon of Arrudye with your Huron-Class Artillery Platform Frigates and your Genghis MK 2 wide-area soft target elimination frames.
