Intergalactic Summit

The United Neopian Federation has begun moving Containment and Relief crews into the Solitude region as a response to the incident on the RP4 Astral Mining Platform in Postouvin. So far, UNF Crews consist of scientists, security personnel, and aid workers. All response crews have been briefed on the possible existence of the Kyonoke prion onboard RP4, and are operating under assumption that such is the situation.

Staging points are in Oerse, Niballe, and Postouvin.

UNF Operational Mandate for the situation is observance of minimum 50km safe distance from the RP4 platform, with prefered 200km distance. At this moment, response is Containment. However should the RP4 Incident prove to be unrelated to Kyonoke in the long term, then Aid and Relief units are on standby with medical provisions and food supplies.

We cannot enforce our safe distance mandate on other capsuleer corporations or alliance, however I do ask that such be observed should any bring their own Containment teams into Postouvin. Stagings in Niballe, and other system chokepoints throughout Solitude are most welcome, and would be appreciated should others join the Solitude Response.

May the gods guide you all.

Update: The RP4 Incident is now confirmed as a Kyonoke Plague outbreak, and Astral Mining, along with Gallente Federation authorities appear to have known since the initial communications loss with the platform.

All crews, UNF or otherwise are advised to switch to full containment staging, and discontinue relief supply staging in favor of combat vessel stagings should the Gallente Federation's cordon be broken. Minimum Safe Distance increased to 75km off the RP4 Platform for all involved Capsuleers operating under the UNF umbrella. Already deployed UNF Relief Staging Points will be converted to full Containment Staging Points over the next two days.

Stay Vigilante.

Update 2: with the final deployment of the SoCT's H4-RP4 Kyonoke Inquest Center on close grid with the RP4 mining platform, minimum safe distance restrictions imposed upon UNF Pilots are rescinded, and movement of UNF Research, Security, and Support crews will take place to the Inquest Center over the next several days. The UNF C&R Ops Base pos will remain anchored in system as a continued observation site.

[*] UNF C&R Ops Base POS deployed at Postouvin II - Moon 1. Any may deploy secure containers or depots on grid with the aformentioned Starbase to further prepare their own stagings.

I'm not sure that the "security task force has been dispatched to RP4 in order to ascertain the nature of the communications blackout" will like the interference.

*slow clap


Conventional Wisdom: "Hey, there's a very dangerous outbreak. People should stay away to prevent any risk of further contamination."

Capsuleers: "Hey, we're like totally humanitarian. Let's go pile a stack of resources that nobody can access on top of the hotzone and traipse all over everything because we're like heroes or something."



Quarantine:
[kwawr-uh n-teen]

noun
1. a strict isolation imposed to prevent the spread of disease.
2.a period, originally 40 days, of detention or isolation imposed upon ships, persons, animals, or plants on arrival at a port or place, when suspected of carrying some infectious or contagious disease.
3.a system of measures maintained by governmental authority at ports, frontiers, etc., for preventing the spread of disease.
4.the branch of the governmental service concerned with such measures.
5.a place or station at which such measures are carried out, as a special port or dock where ships are detained.
6.the detention or isolation enforced.
7.the place, especially a hospital, where people are detained.

verb (used with object), quarantined, quarantining.
10.to put in or subject to quarantine.
11.to exclude, detain, or isolate for political, social, or hygienic reasons.

If people want to truly help, take up positions at every gate leading into the hotzones and pod every single Capsuleer ship that tries to get in or get out.

Once everyone in the system is either dead or the baseline population has determined that the outbreak has run its course, then feel free to go in with humanitarian relief.

Anything more is a dangerous exercise in ego.

Sinjin, you seem to think someone's at any point breaching these quarantines. This is not the case. There is no access to any of these quarantined zones for any capsuleers at this point. The only thing people are doing is preparing just in case we gain access in the future, cutting down response times since in all likelihood, if we actually do get called to be involved, it'll be an emergency situation where time is of the essence.

In the case of Muttokon, it also serves as on-site staging for the potential solution you are speaking of. Combat operations and interdiction, if that should prove necessary. Since capsuleers are at this point incapable of breaching quarantines even if they wanted to, it'd serve no purpose at all to start camping those gates.

It seems that the owners of the Astrahus citadel in Postouvin that I had based some of my supplies within decided to change its name to RP4 Facility as some form of crude joke. In any case, the supplies are being relocated.

POS Tower and Research Laboratory deployed in Postouvin as a temporary observation post. Individuals wishing to use the location to stage their own supplies and depots may do so without repercussion. POS Tower name is UNF C&R Ops Base. Force Field is disable for the time being, but can and will be instated if necessary.

Thankyou, Ms Priano. We will continue to keep eyes on in Solitude, and we shall continue organizing UNF responses heading in that direction.

May the gods guide us all.

Im from postovin and dont see nothing

UNF Ops Base tower is back online and operational. The forcefield has been engaged as an unfortunately necessary precaution. Any wishing to use the starbase grid for staging are still welcome to do so, and I ask the any wishing to deploy secure storage within the forcefield radius to privately go through Ms. Brezia to ask for the field resonance.

Once capsuleers are granted access to the SoCT Keepstar in the Postouvin system, the UNF Ops base will likely be unanchored, and staging moved to the SoCT Keepstar and surrounding grids
