Intergalactic Summit

Yet another attack on defenseless citizens. If it was an assassination it seems pointless. Maybe a message to someone else or perhaps to draw somebody out. High profile deaths, bring out high profile people to funerals. I wouldn't put it past anybody now if there was an attack at the funeral for this couple.

Who has the resources to pull this off? Who has the intel? Who has the data manipulation ability? Why, of all things, would anti-SDII 'rebels' use the death of the couple to pin on the Eagles as opposed to actual data and evidence to incriminate them with their ACTUAL crimes?

Funny how it's a conspiracy theory when your government's involved, but just 'immaturity' when other Empires are involved.

Could be there's not enough information available in one news article to form any kind of an intellectually honest opinion.

Mourn if you are so inclined, and move on. It's a tragedy for all those who loved somebody who was aboard that ship, not just the Hanvyners. But let's not waste our mental energy pursuing the ghosts of conspiracy. Maybe there was a plot, maybe there wasn't, maybe in a week we'll know more, maybe in a week the Point Genesis anomaly will have spewed forth an alien war fleet, in which case the fate of a musician and her wife will be low on our list of priorities. Until we have facts on which to base our hypotheses, it's best not to speculate and wind up prejudicing yourself.

Today, after recovering from an allergic reaction (which will be removed with the next clone jump, damnit), I paid a small visit to Tierijev system.

-

A complete and dedicated scan of the system brought nothing special to light.
A few Capsuleer miners, capsuleer owned cans, a few small enclaves of Serpentis pirates, regulare civilian transport.

The wreck oft the liner had already been removed by Federation Authorities for investigation.
And to remove potentially dangerous wreckage from endangering civilian transports.

After scaring them enough (most pirates will spill the beans if you drop onto their hideout, shoot up their defense fleets and target their bunkers ), the pirates in the enclave allowed my crew a thorough check of their terminals.
Then, they took their leave (encouraged by my ship)..

The terminal checks revealed nothing.
No tampered records and no transmissions regarding any attack on a passenger liner.
Quite frustrating.

Whoever did it, it were not the local pirates.

@Anslo: difficult to say. it has been a day since the event took place so I gathered most emisions would have dispersed by now.

But it is wordt trying out. I will configure my systems to look for unique emissions and visit Tierijev again.
I will do a number of in-system jumps and scans, hoping to find anything.

If any engineering specialist can put some light on this it would be highly appreciated.

- Update -

After doing quite jumps and scans in system I am unable to find any special traces of emissions.

A visit to the Nurtura Station provided some more feedback.

I was able to obtain sensor data from the authorities there.
From their sensor data it does appear that the unknown battlecruiser-size ship appeared very close to the Opux Liner before the liner was destroyed.
After this, the unknown battlecruiser disappears from the sensors, probably running silent.

I will transfer the sensor data to you.

Meghel out

This is unquestionably the very public murder of a modern cultural icon to the Federation, I'm sure the investigation will be thorough, leave no stone unturned and will identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

Because there's no possible way this will get swept under the rug by Blaque and his dogs... right?

What conspiracy? Blaque had them assassinated, the end. There is no need for discussion. Something this obvious is a situation where anyone who thinks this wasn't the case is probably wearing a tinfoil dunce hat.

Tribal justice best justice!

Wait, where did this happen again?

Ah you Gallete. I wonder how clean your own inteligence is?

Wouldn't the most likely chance for Caldari involvement be that these two were actually state spies and Heth or a megacorp wanted to cover their little mistake with a little test-fire from one of their new toys? Doubt SDII has the plans for the 'rumored' new drake hulls.
