SOS

This morning began much like any other, in fact they have all merged into a gray continuum of mission after mission extending back to rebirth and projecting forward to a yet unrealized death. Along the way, you may be fortunate to lend a hand to others in need as they follow there own paths.

Signal Lost

As an ex-waterman one can not ignore a call for help .. please render all assistance to this ship in peril and the souls aboard.

Akunin, of the Aeria Gloris, one of the flagships of the Familia Grigori, also received a similar distress call this morning. I've brought my own ship, the Quinotaur, into the field as well and am keeping the beacon open to any further broadcasts.

This is why we can't have nice things. 

All players contact me for your next move.

I try to contact the Ishtar II Via a digital stream on the channel of emergency beacon and i got answer, but unfortunately the same answers are very disturbed, and i was... late i think the entire crew of Ishtar II are dead now.

I am retriving some datas from inside the simulation where the Ishtar operator send his last hopes...

I think in a while i can  put togheter the data...

Can anyone post a copy of all of the EmergencyBeacon messages?  I heard that there are four in total.

Ok this is what the operator of Ishtar II want to be pubblic:

So I got up at 3:30am for no reason?  Thanks.

what u mean? Sorry but my english is poor and i don't get what u mean? don't u want me to broadcast it pubblic?

Trying to get a handle on the dates, but it seems these two might still be alive. Has anyone got a clues how to find them?

Also, sounds like we need to handle with care... whatever infected their system is still in it most likely, and i sure didn't like the sound of it...

This is an interesting turn of events.  I'm going to have to keep a close eye on any and all activities regarding those ships and their crews.

Has anyone gathered any more information?  A couple of fellow Neonates reported Nonoma jacking in a few days back.  But I've heard little else.

I see the good old days of secret information is over - well... thanks EPN for taking my cake Dealing in information is after all... a Merv's job. *giggles*

Historical information for those who may not have been there for the original events:

http://mxo.mxostory.com/wb_dn1/them...novallisIIevent

Thats the old crew I believe, I was told that the majority of them are dead now though. It seems some of the new crew are about in the system on all instances ((i think this event is a great one))

Yes.  The information that SEPET has posted are from datadrops made by the new crew.  They appear to contain the events and changes that have taken place since we saw the old crew.

has anyone hearrd anything from them at all?

Yes!

Whatever you answer the reply is :

Classified information!!

For now!

Considering who they are it dosn't supprise me.

I managed to squeeze a little information out of them earlier.  I wasn't impressed with the answer.  But it seems it was more of an answer than some people got.
