[ 2016.05.02 17:51:58 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: The virtual space is a strangely celestial environment. It is a diamond platform, apparently suspended in outer space. Galaxies and comets swirl overhead. it seems to be orboting a large ringed gas giant with resplendent rings.In the center of the platform are two plush chairs, a table, and a sparking fire. The table has drinks and snacks. Too bad you can't eat them,Lunarisse' avatar is wearing a shimmering almost translucent (but not, she is Amarr after all) dress with sparkling stars and constellations, that is floor length and spills out like a puddle of molten silver around her feet. Lunarisse's long hair is platinum white and braided and held together by a series of small claspes that look like planets.
[ 2016.05.02 17:53:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good day Perigrinans.
[ 2016.05.02 17:54:42 ] Aria Jenneth > Ave, Directrix!
[ 2016.05.02 18:01:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh.. we will have a short op tomorrow tonight. Lord Rhayle Mordant of PIE discovered 4 blood raider shrines. They were scanned down by Jen Starfall and reinfoced by SFRIM/PIE.
[ 2016.05.02 18:01:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > They come out of reinforce tomorrow night around 2;00 or so. My daughter is leading the fleet and they will roam thereafter.
[ 2016.05.02 18:02:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > As the Blooder Raider pilot fiies cruors and ashimmus, mwd/kite doctrine is preferred
[ 2016.05.02 18:02:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > In case .. he tries to defend.
[ 2016.05.02 18:04:23 ] Aria Jenneth > ... this ... to be clear, will be ...
[ 2016.05.02 18:04:39 ] Aria Jenneth > 0200 on the 3rd? Or 4th?
[ 2016.05.02 18:05:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 4th.
[ 2016.05.02 18:09:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > In Mehatoor retrieving my Bowhead. Sir Shutaq has a shipment for pIE I need to handle. I do not need an escort.
[ 2016.05.02 18:09:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nodnods*
[ 2016.05.02 18:09:27 ] Aria Jenneth > As you wish, Directrix.
[ 2016.05.02 18:09:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Interesting.. small load
[ 2016.05.02 18:09:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will use my blockade runner instead.
[ 2016.05.02 18:10:19 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I've confirmed that the Faint webifier largely resolves the problems with the Courageous. I'm not sure whether it would negate the need for the implant, though.
[ 2016.05.02 18:10:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Good to hear. I tested it last night versus a friend of the Society and it performs quite well as fit."
[ 2016.05.02 18:11:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'So if you can make it work.. i think it would be advantagous to you"
[ 2016.05.02 18:11:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose "40 jump route. Good lord Aldrith" she mutters
[ 2016.05.02 18:11:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ...?
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Sorry... this isn't the usual job I get.
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A little.. non-plussed
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:30 ] Aria Jenneth > ... It ... definitely doesn't sound like it. Did he explain why?
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I need to haul 1,000m3 of material 40 jumps
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No. We'll see whats in it when I see it.
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:44 ] Aria Jenneth > I thought PIE's operations were usually pretty ... um. Localized.
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'Amarr to Mehatoor is the usual route"
[ 2016.05.02 18:12:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "or vice versa"
[ 2016.05.02 18:13:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sometimes Sassiekko when they are turning in LP"
[ 2016.05.02 18:14:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And.. the destination is low sec"
[ 2016.05.02 18:14:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think the CaldariGallente zone
[ 2016.05.02 18:14:46 ] Aria Jenneth > ... might that be why the route is so long?
[ 2016.05.02 18:15:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I set it for shortest. If I go all safe, it's 47 jumps"
[ 2016.05.02 18:15:02 ] Aria Jenneth > Or is it already selecting the shortest option?
[ 2016.05.02 18:15:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods
[ 2016.05.02 18:15:08 ] Aria Jenneth > ... hm.
[ 2016.05.02 18:24:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh well. enroute with autopilot
[ 2016.05.02 18:24:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > (in high sec only of course)
[ 2016.05.02 18:25:05 ] Aria Jenneth > Directrix? I ... wanted to discuss something with you a little further.
[ 2016.05.02 18:25:44 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I ... mentioned an old ... associate to you, I think-- Lantalia?
[ 2016.05.02 18:26:05 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I want to make sure you're okay with using her before I do anything, um, difficult to take back.
[ 2016.05.02 18:27:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I am."
[ 2016.05.02 18:27:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The longer.. Solarisse runs around.. the more likely she will run into someone useful or give someone dangerous information i don't want shared"
[ 2016.05.02 18:28:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "or.. hurt someone we care about."
[ 2016.05.02 18:28:36 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. Before you say such a thing firmly, Directrix-- she's at least a little still associated with the Cartel. And while I don't mean to tell her anything she doesn't need to know, she's not a foolish person. She has been reliable, though.
[ 2016.05.02 18:29:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2016.05.02 18:30:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you need her?"
[ 2016.05.02 18:30:20 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Well-- my plan is to use myself as bait, so ...
[ 2016.05.02 18:31:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Why not oneof the persons we know she contacted. Miss Vyvorant or Templar Vada,?"
[ 2016.05.02 18:31:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It would keep.. the circle of those in the know smaller."
[ 2016.05.02 18:32:42 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Are we certain that Ms. Vyvorant and/or Templar Vada would (1) believably be willing to turn me over and (2) at the same time actually be willing to deliver Solarisse to us?
[ 2016.05.02 18:33:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. on the second point, the Templar, yes."
[ 2016.05.02 18:33:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The real question is the first."
[ 2016.05.02 18:34:08 ] Aria Jenneth > This is going to be a shadowy sort of exchange. It's best if it's someone who has clear underworld ties, if she goes digging.
[ 2016.05.02 18:34:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.05.02 18:34:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There's rather little.. your contact needs to know, I think. But... is she safe for you?"
[ 2016.05.02 18:35:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Your.. predecessor left the angels on bad terms, yes?"
[ 2016.05.02 18:35:33 ] Aria Jenneth > Well-- that's a question. But I don't have any reason to think they hold a grudge against me, personally-- I'm quite possibly a Cartel pawn, or supposed to be.
[ 2016.05.02 18:36:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "Ok, then."
[ 2016.05.02 18:36:20 ] Aria Jenneth > But, that very possibility is what makes this believable. Still, what it really comes down to is this: I'm a customer, and I can keep paying her.
[ 2016.05.02 18:36:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.05.02 18:36:32 ] Aria Jenneth > Solarisse ... seems to lack our resources.
[ 2016.05.02 18:36:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So far, yes.' She nods.
[ 2016.05.02 18:39:01 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Also, Directrix? I'd ... like to try to find out what I can about her, if ... you're willing. It might be helpful to know ...
[ 2016.05.02 18:39:08 ] Aria Jenneth > ... ... in ... figuring out what to do.
[ 2016.05.02 18:39:26 ] Aria Jenneth > ... once she's acquired. Assuming this works.
[ 2016.05.02 18:40:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ok."
[ 2016.05.02 18:44:31 ] Aria Jenneth > ... oh, this is going to be rough ...
[ 2016.05.02 18:44:46 ] Aria Jenneth > ... well. I'll get things moving. Wish me ... luck, Directrix. *wan smile*

[ 2016.05.02 21:23:33 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses, then quickly says "Hello"
[ 2016.05.02 21:26:30 ] Lantalia > Oh, hey!
[ 2016.05.02 21:26:59 ] Lantalia > Miss Aspenstar! Good of you to tag me back so quick.
[ 2016.05.02 21:30:14 ] Lantalia > Pretty sure you're a busy person, so I'll skip the pussyfooting around. I hear you're in the market for intel, whiiiiiich usually isn't my specialty, but I've got something, or someone, you might have a keen-ish interest in.
[ 2016.05.02 21:33:10 ] Lantalia > Who, happens to be Lunarisse Aspenstar's personal aide. *ear-to-ear grin*
[ 2016.05.02 21:38:35 ] Lantalia > I know you Matari aren't keen on the "involuntary human resources" trade, but-- thought you might want to consider making a bid before she gets shipped off to Doril never to be seen again.
[ 2016.05.02 21:42:50 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote eye's widen
[ 2016.05.02 21:43:20 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote then her eyes narrow "That creepy woman put you up to it didn't she?"
[ 2016.05.02 21:44:34 ] Lantalia > ... Uh, creepy woman?
[ 2016.05.02 21:45:51 ] Lantalia > Sweetie, I deal with a lot of creepy people. Cartel, ya? But the people putting me up to this bit of fun are off in Heaven counting their black market coin.
[ 2016.05.02 21:45:54 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Veiki&%$,..:Gesa%&*" her words stumble over the pronunciation, then defensively, she snaps "I don't sleep with women thank you. i am not sleeping with you either."
[ 2016.05.02 21:46:19 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote warily says "You're a merc? Really?"
[ 2016.05.02 21:46:41 ] Lantalia > Heh. Not usually.
[ 2016.05.02 21:48:08 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. So you want me to pay you." she nods "I get that."
[ 2016.05.02 21:48:29 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > 'How much?"
[ 2016.05.02 21:48:30 ] Lantalia > I just happened to have an in with a certain bounty target. And-- well, depending how this plays, might be I get to satisfy multiple parties.
[ 2016.05.02 21:49:53 ] Lantalia > Well-- that depends. Assuming we get this worked to the other party's satisfaction, I'm getting paid twice, so.... If we're talking ISK ... say, 250 million for one contraband captive capsuleer.
[ 2016.05.02 21:51:10 ] Lantalia > I'd call that a ridiculous bargain except you're not going to be using her for those talents, right?
[ 2016.05.02 21:51:30 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "No... I just want her.. as bait"
[ 2016.05.02 21:51:30 ] Lantalia > If that's too steep-- you're just new to the pod, yourself, right?
[ 2016.05.02 21:51:57 ] Lantalia > Tell you what. Your family likely to be willing to back you up at all, kid?
[ 2016.05.02 21:52:00 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote is a bit fluistered followng along the fast talker "I can come up with ISK. I can do 9,750 as a down payment"
[ 2016.05.02 21:52:18 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "of course my family is. We want vengeance!"
[ 2016.05.02 21:52:29 ] Lantalia > ... uh, yeah. Looks like we're dwn to the other option, then.
[ 2016.05.02 21:52:30 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at Lantalia across the feed.
[ 2016.05.02 21:52:54 ] Lantalia > So, here's the thing. I can take your down payment-- so I know you're serious and all....
[ 2016.05.02 21:53:02 ] Lantalia > I'll take the rest in favors owed.
[ 2016.05.02 21:53:33 ] Lantalia > I do a good bit of business around Matari space. Could work out well.
[ 2016.05.02 21:54:19 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Of course it will" she flashes an insincere smile.
[ 2016.05.02 21:55:58 ] Lantalia > ... mm. So-- bait, huh? Heaven's keen to make a point with this one. This'd need to be the sort of bait that doesn't just get nibbled off the hook some way or other.
[ 2016.05.02 21:56:29 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "So umm" she says casually "I was thinking of the target's daughter. You bave better?"
[ 2016.05.02 21:58:05 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > 'Some sort of.. personal aide?"
[ 2016.05.02 21:58:05 ] Lantalia > Well, maybe not quite that good. Family's perfect, but-- you know her daughter's a member of a military organization, right? Active service? Lots and lots of dead bodies?
[ 2016.05.02 21:58:46 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "She's barely my age. I am not afraid of her."
[ 2016.05.02 22:00:07 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Besides.. Imperials don't give a damnabout their servants"
[ 2016.05.02 22:01:17 ] Lantalia > It's not her I'd worry about; it's the bajillion Templars immediately alerted and sallying to her rescue. This one's a different case. Aria Jenneth. Sworn servant or something like that.
[ 2016.05.02 22:03:03 ] Lantalia > She's an Achur by birth; apparently the director took her in, and she's sworn loyalty. She's been flying the daughter's wing and the mother's errands.
[ 2016.05.02 22:03:41 ] Lantalia > And-- nobody knows she's gone yet.
[ 2016.05.02 22:06:18 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > Huh
[ 2016.05.02 22:07:02 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote narrows her eyes "Wellif she swore loyalty to :unarisse Aspenstar she deserves whatever she gets from you"
[ 2016.05.02 22:08:25 ] Lantalia > Thing is, she's also an ex-pirate-- kind of a coup for SFRIM, picking up someone like her: she's given them some good PR. Left Curse under a cloud, hence the this-going-on.
[ 2016.05.02 22:08:57 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, wallowing in the details being thrown at her.
[ 2016.05.02 22:09:08 ] Lantalia > And-- I'm not gonna do a thing to her other than stick her in a shipping crate, and I already did that. What comes next is up to you. Or Curse.
[ 2016.05.02 22:10:11 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "You think .. would anyone pay me for her?.. After?"
[ 2016.05.02 22:11:26 ] Lantalia > Sure. Even if you have SFRIM's director, she's got kind of a wealthy beau out in Providence, been talking in public about what kind of citadel to build. Ha!
[ 2016.05.02 22:12:09 ] Lantalia > Like, his own personal project. Some people have all the goddamn luck.
[ 2016.05.02 22:12:28 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a calculating look.
[ 2016.05.02 22:13:04 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "The family would forgive a lot if I have usk to give them"
[ 2016.05.02 22:13:13 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "I like that idea."
[ 2016.05.02 22:16:17 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "So.. umm. I think we've got mutual interests... that's called a joint venture huh?"
[ 2016.05.02 22:16:46 ] Lantalia > Well, okay, then. Couple of catches-- one: need to make sure the point is made, do not fuck around with the Cartel. Heaven considers that mandatory.
[ 2016.05.02 22:18:03 ] Lantalia > Two, which I just came up with because you've just had this adorable idea: I am NOT your partner on this thing. I don't want SFRIM getting wind I was involved in this if I can avoid it, you dig?
[ 2016.05.02 22:19:54 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks flustered, then raises her chin "Fine. I can do it that way. I'd rather keep the isk myself anyway"
[ 2016.05.02 22:20:22 ] Lantalia > Great. I'd like to keep my trading options open, thanks. Three: what we're moving is a capsuleer, with mind active on board.
[ 2016.05.02 22:21:39 ] Lantalia > That's a bit more than just a slave. This is a bout fifty types of extremely valuable and a hundred of dangerous. If there's more illegal cargo, I do not know what it is.
[ 2016.05.02 22:22:12 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks bored,. "Yeah, so we tie her up?"
[ 2016.05.02 22:22:37 ] Lantalia > Already done. It's not HER I'm concerned about.
[ 2016.05.02 22:23:19 ] Lantalia > It's station goddamn security. I can't just pass her through usual in-station channels and call it good.
[ 2016.05.02 22:23:49 ] Lantalia > 'Cause somewhere along the line, she'd pass a scanner and some technician somewhere would go what the hell and call security.
[ 2016.05.02 22:26:05 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks.
[ 2016.05.02 22:26:25 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Oh..." she says "I didn't think of that,,,,," she trails off.
[ 2016.05.02 22:27:15 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > Put her in a tinfoil bag? she says weakly, confidence gone.
[ 2016.05.02 22:28:12 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote is mixed between awe and abashment by this fast talker.
[ 2016.05.02 22:29:44 ] Lantalia > ... Eh-- so. Do you have a station somewhere your family has enough control for me to maybe unload her without trouble?
[ 2016.05.02 22:30:06 ] Lantalia > I'm at Hek Boundless Creation right now, and I'll tell you, this ain't it.
[ 2016.05.02 22:30:54 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Yeah, it's in Pator."
[ 2016.05.02 22:31:30 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > Pator VII- RSS
[ 2016.05.02 22:32:26 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote sneers "we can dump on her the bar, it's called the Shackled Amarr."
[ 2016.05.02 22:32:53 ] Lantalia > Pator? Great. So-- next issue. Sounds like you and the family aren't quite on completely the best of terms. You don't need to confirm or deny that, but if it's true your say-so might not be enough to get station support to leave me alone.
[ 2016.05.02 22:33:04 ] Lantalia > ... Unless ... *considers*
[ 2016.05.02 22:33:16 ] Lantalia > ... you were escorting the package, maybe?
[ 2016.05.02 22:34:25 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote narrows her eyes. "we're not partners as you said. Keep your end of the deal.. and I'll do mine when the time comes"
[ 2016.05.02 22:35:15 ] Lantalia > We're not. But my end of the deal is package delivery, right?
[ 2016.05.02 22:37:09 ] Lantalia > We come to the far end, station security does a routine sweep, they're going to be all up in my business unless you're on hand to explain what the deal is.
[ 2016.05.02 22:37:18 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. In Pator."
[ 2016.05.02 22:38:09 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > "I tell the Shaman I have something good.. that'll make it all right, and I'm sure she'll send some of the warriors to help"
[ 2016.05.02 22:39:36 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote rallies, convincing herself "Be in touch when you want to move, please" She says bolder than she feels.
[ 2016.05.02 22:39:59 ] Lantalia > ... right.
[ 2016.05.02 22:41:05 ] Solarisse Aspenstar > /emote disconnects.
