Intergalactic Summit

The alternative, of course, is to tow it into a star.

Plasma weapons come in all sizes, after all.

MSCS is ready with scientific gear, personnel and provisioning.

Alacrity Fitzhugh and Sabine Vedeh can be contacted directly concerning needs and time tables.

MISC only recently got news of this troubling development as such MSC Exolar got redirected from it current destination to the neighboring system of Muttokon.

Intent of this work group was auxiliary work force to prep one of our planetary installation drop site due to special nature of those.

Battalion of 800 man and women and one colonel act as rapid camp assembly / disassembly force, cordoning and control of many square kilometers drop site with many engineers and heavy machinery vets,military training helps with cohesion focus and chain of command ethics.

Our scientist is there in overseer capacity and as direct information link back to corporation naturally, as well as data analyst from two space ships that are also on board.

First being lightly re-fitted Echelon frigate primary function is planetary seismic telemetry and drop site monitoring as well as atmospheric fluctuations readouts.as such i don't see much usage in this specific situation.

Second is modified mining ship with isolated docking bays against bio hazard,contaminated fluids or gas,chemicals its by products or harmful emissions as such it served well for fast transport of unwanted contaminants,hopefully it wont be needed here.

With similarly equipped drones that can be used without personnel directly involved.

If this is something citadel personnel is in need of then this is a request for temporary docking permit to citadel or a simple transfer of transport ship via contract to any one person that head person of Muttokon Containment and Staging citadel mention here.

In later case pilot of a transport ship will assume command of an Echelon class re-fit as means of further travel.

Transport ship will remain in standby for 48 hours.

Mina Sebiestar,
MISC spokesperson.

Minmatar Inner Space Conglomerate has been given docking access at the Containment and Staging area. The delay is simply because the official combat records and official skillset lists had to be given a little read through. Interesting reading in some places, but nothing too far out of the ordinary.

Welcome to Muttokon II at your leisure, pilot.

Update:

As Kyonoke has been confirmed as the reason for the quarantine, the situation has changed slightly. We are still limited to observation and waiting for the authorities to determine what, if any, capsuleer involvement there will be in this crisis but we can make some assumptions. It will almost certainly not be your average humanitarian aid situation, given the contagion's unbelievable mortality rate and ability to spread.

As such, your common support assets in crisis situations (antibiotics, etc) will likely prove useless for the orbital platform itself, which was honestly expected but not a certainty since we didn't have full confirmation on the contagion's nature when this started.

Our efforts, should they ever be needed by the authorities, will likely fall into one or several of the following categories:

* Combat operations to secure and contain the speck, fending off both invaders and restricting escapees.
* Planetary aid, as the situation is likely affecting logistics, assets and supplies planetside.
* Potentially Research and Development on the nature of the speck, including containment, treatment, detection and so on.
* The hunting and destruction of the parties involved in what certainly looks like an attack.

My recommendation for those preparing, in case our kind are called in for help, is to stage combat vessels for lowsec operations at the center as well as ensuring you have the necessary assets and resources to respond similarly to any spread of this contagion into highsec tribal areas.

Research facilities are running at the location for those so inclined, so no real preparation work required there unless you wish to bring more unconventional RnD assets to bear. On the incredibly low chance that there will be survivors from the orbital platform either due to successful containment or the unlikely event of a cure being found in time, we also have psyche evaluation and treatment personnel ready as those potential survivors will likely have experienced living knee deep in their dead.

In closing, this effort may very well be entirely fruitless and all donated assets and such will be returned if that is the case, but on that off chance that we might be called in there is no big costs associated with preparation and staging.

Spirits at your back, Matari.

Sansha Incursion has been reported in the Muttokon area and affects the system as it usually does. Cynosural Jammers are in effect, vessel integrity is compromised and capsule interference is in play.

What effect this has on the Orbital Platform is at this point unknown and as usual the authorities are clamming up completely.

I'll update when I know for certain the incursion has been cleared .

In the usual capsuleer fashion, this particular instance of "let's feed capsuleers all the isk and CONCORD LP they could ever want" strategy of Kuvakei's is being stretched as far as it can go. The various system wide effects usually occurring during these pointless asset mills have been reduced to zero except for the Cynosural Field jamming, but it'll probably take a little while for someone to go plug this particular hole in the isk/lp reservoir.

There's still no reports of this affecting the Orbital Platform, but as there haven't been any reports about the platform in a while that isn't exactly saying much.

For capsuleers, at the moment the only real effect is the inability to use Jump Freighters as the logistic tool of choice.

I certainly hope it is.

I am giving the loopy bastard the benefit of the doubt. Even he can't be so far gone that he can't see the end result clear as day. Endless amounts of ships and hardware thrown into a meat grinder versus capsuleers - achieving nothing in the process - that lose nothing and gain giant piles of ISK and LP.

Both of which CONCORD quite literally prints themselves, so they lose nothing either.

If the above isn't his intended result here, he's screwing something up badly.

Little news to report from Muttokon itself.

The capsuleer corporation Omega Fullerene Reaction Services, a two member corp that has... familiar looking public fronts and Empire/State leanings, have deployed a mobile depot FOB on the Containment and Staging center's grid, well within weapons range which indicates either incompetent hostility or more likely friendly intent.

We have reached out to this entity to get more information and warn them that anchoring Empire loyalist assets in Muttokon is ill-advised without significant vetting and vouching by Matari entities in good standing. If there is no response within twenty-four hours, we will have to consider stronger measures.

Our recommendation for Empire or State loyalists wanting to contribute to the Muttokon side of this crisis is to do it through known Matari - or if that's not possible, Federation - entities that can be trusted in our space and less likely to be considered hostiles by local forces. Much like how any humanitarian efforts by me in Empire space would be handed directly to Empire loyalist entities like PIE or others - who would then control their deployment entirely - without me or mine being able to use the situation for our own hostile endeavors.

Nothing builds trust like removing the need for it and eliminating the possibility of hostile activity to start with.

Edit: I have been... persuaded, at length, by the MCSC administrator to forward the following request:

"Stop littering on my lawn!"

I am reasonably sure she's not taking any action on the matter until I give the go-ahead, though.
