Hmm... Ah ha, it's working!
Hi everybody, this is my first time using this, I'm so happy I got it to work! Let's see, I'm 12 and I work as my Mistress's personal aid, at least that's what she calls me. People tell me that technically I'm a slave but it sure doesn't seem that way to me. My Mistress, she hates it when I call her that, is a really nice person and she even saved me from being a slave... although I'm pretty sure there's still a data entry saying I'm one. She's a capsuleer, so I am normally on the ship with her so I get to see a lot of different places. Right now we are in Hiem... no, Heimatar, yeah! I've never been here before, but I wonder why most of the stations we dock in look like they are rusting?
Oh crap, I'm not supposed to be on here and Aiden told me I could only be on for a little bit before being caught and the 1st Officer is a stickler for the rules. I'll get back on later when he's too busy to catch me, I still have so much to say. This is so exciting.

The 1st officer is having a meeting with the captain right now, so I'm back! Sooner than I thought too!
I was talking with Aiden and he told me he would make a program to mask my transmission so I could get on here more often but when I thought about it I told him that a X3.42 subroutine diagnostic would do the same thing and no one could say anything if they found him running minor diagnostics. He just stared at me and agreed. He also said that person who called me cute, thanks by the way, was making fun of me... I don't believe that, even my Mistress says he is pessimistic. He did pick the name out for me, I couldn't use my own name so he told me this best fit me, I don't know why but I like it anyway.
So Mistress met with somebody yesterday, he was a scary man, he seemed 'cold' and he was so serious like he didn't have emotions. I overheard some of the crew calling him a 'zombie' or a 'Slave'. It seems odd, I was a slave and knew a lot of other slaves and most of them weren't like that. Many of the crew felt uneasy about him being on board and even Mistress, after he left, seemed tired. She says that we will be working more directly with him and his friends, she didn't seem too happy about it. Aiden told me later that she was being bossed around by the 'zombies' and she didn't like that, but he also told me that I shouldn't call them 'zombies' though and not to pick up his bad habits... he worries too much sometimes.
I best go for now, I might need to help Aiden with the diagnostics he is supposed to be running soon and you never know when the 1st officer will come out of his meeting... Probably being chewed out again for drinking on his shift again, hehe.

Erm... missy Dream? Quick question, is your "Mistress" and the crew Amarrian? If so, then that would probably explain why the "scary man" was so cold. Minmitar don't like Amarrians. Likewise, Amarrians don't really like Minmitars. You look to be... Intaki? You probably won't have issues talking to the "scary man" the same way your "Mistress" has.
And the rusty color on the stations? You'll get used to it. What Minmitar stations lacks in aesthetics is more than made up for in raw efficiency and cost effectiveness. _______________________

Welcome to the world of capsuleers. First thing to learn is that it is very hard to find out who you can trust and who not. And which is the thing that you are fighting for. Because in the end you will be fighting. Yes, the blooming space flowers of Amamake belt III-1 are a thing to see that one will never forget.
About the 'zombies' you report about are most likely Sansha followers also called 'toasters' and they call themselves 'True Slaves'. Technology can be used for a better future, to enhance your spirit and your dreams, to rise your horizon of knowledge and make you a better being. Or it can be used like Sansha is using it. Then it will limit your freedom, limit the things you can see and making you smaller than you are.
We Matari are very spirtual people that aim for the greatness of the universe to live it, to understand it. And this we will reach by freedom. We have been slaves of the Amarr over centuries where we were suffering and kept small and limited. But a hundred years ago we were able to break free.
They are still fighting us to get us enslaved again. But we won't stop before the last of our kind is free as we are.
The reason for our 'rusty' stations is that most of them were build during the rebellion. We had not the techology for golden hulls like the Amarr had, we had to get along with the things we had. And this means that we use raw tritanium alloys for our design.
You might think of this as weak but in reality it's a strength. Because if you enrich tritanium alloy with the rare ingredients that can make them shine like you see on Amarrian hull you lose a lot of the resistance powers that they naturally have.
There is a story about a man having a good bow in Matari culture. The bow was so good that he ordered his bowmaker to carve small figures in it, that were showing hunters and prey and that tribal stuff. Finally he got his bow back. It was a beautiful thing with feathers and colors of red and white, with metal and wood inlets and those mentioned figures in it.
The next day he was hunting and a Tar'akhk was assaulting him. That's this vicious carnivore that you may find on some Matari planets. He aimed his arrow on that beast and the bow broke. The beast killed him.
Now take a look at the resistances of EM on the Punisher and the Rifter, child. And tell me why our stations seem to be 'rusty'. -- FREEDOM, PUNK & AUTOCANNONS

Damn. Sorry, this might be to do with some radiation corrosion of my electronic systems. I have a maintainance team on it. Just a minute, I thought we had already cleaned the galnet subsystem. My technical teams are a bit stressed at the moment so I ordered crew from other compartements to join in.

The diagnostics on the comms array and sensors are finally done, whew! Poor Aiden, we found a loose beta connector on the array coupling and the 1st officer made him go out and fix it himself for not finding it earlier... he's sure a meanie. But it's all fixed now and Aiden is resting, he was so worn out after a 12 hour diagnostic and EVA.
So many replies! I don't understand what some of them are supposed to mean, but so many people read what I said =D. Oh, miss Alica, if you are still able to receive, try rerouting your communications operating system to the subspace sensors. Realign the sensors to broadcast your normal comms frequency and you should be be fine, they may not be as good as the real thing but it works. At least it did when I suggested it to Aiden a few months ago when a pirate clipped the comms array clean off. You should have seen it, it was on fire and everything, everyone thought it was going to crash right into us but Mistress somehow steered clear and the pirate only took the array with him.
I can't tell you Mistress's name =(.Aiden told me that there are a lot of people that just don't understand Mistress and the rest of us and are scared by not understanding. He said that their fear hurt Mistress in the past and I don't want Mistress to get hurt again.
Yes, she's Amarrian, but the crew are from everywhere. Aiden is Caldari and even the 1st officer says he's from Metropolis, I haven't been there yet, I really want to see his home. Why do you ask?
About the man Mistress met with, I actually do think someone said Sansha but I'm not sure. Hmm, but the crew have called our ship Sansha too. It's scary looking but SOOO cool on the inside, it's all spiky on the outside but the inside is amazing. I have never seen so many neat systems on any of the Amarr ships we've been on, we're still trying to figure out what some of them do, it's so exciting! I even have my own room, it's so big!
Don't worry mister Cyrus, I'm nearly an adult too and the 1st officer can get pretty, 'crude' when he drinks a lot. At least that is what Aiden calls it.

How... interesting. I am not aware of any "official" Sansha type installations in Heimitar space. And those "unofficial" installations I have found are usually quite hostile to my mere presence. Do you know the general area that this place is in?
And I didn't mean offense with regards to your ship's crew. I was merely curious. I spend much of my time in-capsule running diagnostics on my ships... so I get bored easily. When I have the extra time/free thought I use my cameras to look out and "study" people in and around my hanger, making notes of their behavior. I thought that I could explain some issues regarding your situation, but it seems I cannot. Mybad.
And do be careful in Sansha ships. From the sound of it, you're in a Nightmare type Battleship. Unless it has been completely overhauled internally, I would suggest you err on the side of caution and not to go into any place that looks suspicious. The man who appears to be in charge of your well being (Aiden I believe?), I won't say always do as he says but do keep an ear open for him. Sansha Ships are typically more than just "warships" and have a high degree of automation, for better or worse. _______________________

Edited by: Horizon''s Dream on 19/07/2010 11:24:39 Umm, I don't think we've been to any 'Sansha type installations'. We mostly have been going between stations resupplying since getting to Heimatar and occasionally going out to fight pirates. All the stations look the same, rusty, and they all have a lot of Minmatar in them that look at us funny. A fight almost broke out while we were out shopping on the station, the man came at us yelling something about freedom, he looked really scary. Lucky for us, Mistress had started sending the ship's marines with everyone going onto the station and they caught him before he could get to us. The station's administer had a really long argument about what had happened but eventually Mistress won! I didn't get to hear it though, I really wanted to see her in action. He kept making a fuss over our marines detaining the man before they went into his office where I couldn't hear them.
We've been fighting a lot of pirates since we got here, between visiting all the stations. The crew call the pirates Angels but when I listen to the the comms recordings later they sound like really scary people not Angels. Mistress really doesn't like them for some reason, other than for shooting at us. She calls them: a prime examples of what humanity is degrading into, and that I should never act like them.
I've been exploring the ship, I think more than the crew has since they have been so busy. I've found several rooms that the internal sensors don't work in, one of them was really amazing. When I showed Mistress she nearly cried from looking at it. The room had a lot of consoles and large monitors that would show bunches of art work and pictures of cities and families. The consoles seemed to have a whole lot of history and things, Mistress looked them over for a long time. She says that the room must have been dedicated to what was lost 100 years ago and that the ship must have traded hands so quickly that it was never discovered until now since it was captured. The crew have been going to the room a lot since I found it, but I liked the next room I found more but I haven't told anyone about it yet... it's my secret! =D
Oh, miss Nikilaiki, Aiden told me I shouldn't tell anyone my name, sorry. I'm not sure what the name is supposed to mean really but Aiden and even some of the others tell me that I am the Dream they fight for but I don't know what they mean =(. But I like the name though, makes me feel special.

I am sorry to hear about your troubles in station Miss Dream. But I can't say it is surprising considering that your peers and you are coming off a ship that symbolizes "fear" to so many right now. All I can say is stay vigilant.
Also, do you think you could save a sampling of the info in this "history room" you found and send it to me? I "collect" history and am very curious to see what "history" this is (I have a feeling you have stumbled upon something not so pleasant).
You can use subspace frequency Z9901.000.24 HZ... it's a one-way, third-party, secure line so you won't talk to me directly, but you also won't get any feedback trackers (which I hope will alleviate your security concerns). If the data is what I think it is, I'll also send you a small "fee" for you trouble. _______________________

**Horizon's Dream appears before the camera with dirty smudges of oil on her face**
I made a new friend today! Mistress brought him on board from another ship that we docked with in space. She says that he used to be a slave but the experience of being freed and brought here was hard on him. He doesn't remember anything before a few days ago, I feel so sad for him. He's confused and really skittish but he's really nice once you can get him to open up. He seems to have had a lot of implants at some point, I can see the scars where they were removed, I think they weren't supposed to be removed.
I've been doing a lot of work in my 'secret room', it needs work to fix it up. It seems that it was damaged in fight but I think I can fix everything. The room looks like a secondary computer core and access terminal but I don't know what it was for since the main computer core was plenty big. It's really dirty work but nothing like working in the motor rooms.
Mister Shah, I don't think I should. I don't really need the ISK and I believe Mistress will let everyone know when she thinks it's right.
Also, why am I in danger? I know the pirates are dangerous but Mistress can beat them all and working on the ship and as Mistress's aid has been so much better and safer than where I was before she got me.
Crap, the Republic issue tape just came lose on the cabling that I just replaced... Ahh! No! No, no, no, no!

Hey little miss, I hope you know what you are doing with that "secondary" terminal... with a ship with that age and histroy you can be digging up something that should never be found... and try not to plug yourself into the computer, I heard they can sometimes mess up your brain.
Just some friendly advice.

Miss Horizon's Dream.
I must agree with Ms. Tytianna Kroes & Ms. Syn Callibri regarding your well being.
You must stop talking to strangers on the comm, for many mean neither you nor your Mistress good.
Secondly you should not sneak! Be a girl of good Faith and tell your Mistress about the room. I know that after you consider what I have said and prayed for guidance you will do the correct thing and be a good servant to your Mistress.

What a dear sweet child. Reminds me of a friend I had who was also handy with systems and electronics like you are.
What is the newcomers name and could you ask him why his implants were removed? I have a few and was wondering what I could look forward too if I decide to go through with the procedure.
As for your republic issue tape might I be able to send you something better? With either your mistresses permission of course.
I would advise you to be careful with your secret room as there could be some dangerous items there. Sansha ships I've heard tend to have many hidden areas that are probably better left closed.
Well good luck with your renovations and fly safely little one.

Edited by: Horizon''s Dream on 25/07/2010 09:40:55 **The young girl, perhaps dirtier now than in her last transmission, looks into the camera with a huge grin that only a child could make. The camera has been set to a much wider capture angle this time around so as to allow the majority of the room behind her to be seen. The room is fairly standard in appearance for living quarters, perhaps on the large side though, but many personal objects clearly signify the room to belong to a young girl... probably the one in the camera. Also, many datapads and a higher than standard spec computer terminal can be seen.**
He he he he. I got the computer core working! At first it was nothing but corrupt files and programs, but with a little know how I got the core OS working! **She nearly poses triumphantly, savoring her success and reveling in her pride**
**She leans in closer to the camera, still smiling wildly but hushes her tone for suspense** It's an AI. Hah! It's so smart! It's not connected to the ship so there's not much for it to do but talk but that's fine. Most of its memory is corrupted so it's like it's fresh out of the box. We played a few games, we tied in the end, but it was fun and it tells me that its logic core and processors are working. It's just SO human I can't believe it! I've heard of some good AI's but this one's the best I've seen. Too bad its memory had to be corrupt, could learn so much...
Anyway, I've been so busy working on her(AI) that I haven't been able to get on here much. I'm back now though!
Mistress is gone, she left on a shuttle somewhere leaving the ship and the crew behind. We join a new corporation a little while ago and she said that she was needed back in the Amarr empire. She doesn't want to get us hurt, that's why she left us here, she even said she would be hiring some merc crews for the war that our corporation is in right now. All of us wanted to go with her but she insisted and that we should gather information on the pirates around here in the mean time... I miss her.
The new person that was brought aboard recently, his name is Amahd, but he says that is just what they called him and that he doesn't actually remember his name. The crew have been a bit skittish around him, I don't know why, maybe it's because he's new? He works really hard and is really nice so I'm sure teh crew will become his friends soon. He sometimes talks to himself, something about not being able to hear everyone but when I ask him about it he seems surprised and says he doesn't remember doing it, I hope he's ok.
**She looks as if she is ready to end the transmission but catches herself, growing less cheerful** Oh, yeah. I've been hearing strange things around the computer core room that I didn't hear before. It's real creepy! I think it might be a bad heat sink or something making racket but I haven't found it yet and it doesn't make it any less scary sounding. The AI says it doesn't hear anything, but I know I hear it... So that's why I'm in my room today instead of there... I know one's down there... Maybe I'll get Aiden to help me look?
**The transmission cuts as she ponders asking Aiden** <<Transmission end.>> <<Logging transmission history>> <<Connection termi... "What is this place?" ...nating>>

It is good to see a slave who understands her place in the world - which is by your mistress.
I am sure she too is touched by your loyalty and would pardon this little misdemeanor of yours.

I don't like this. She says she's in a Sansha ship and that she's found an unknown room that is disconnected from the rest of the systems. And it has an AI that... is...
Oh dear.
Miss Dream, disconnect that computer you found!! Disconnect it and shut it down immediately before it restores its memory banks!!! They way your describe it, it sounds like... wait... no... you're better off not knowing. DISCONNECT IT!!! _______________________
