My time is precious, I have better things to do than sit on this rock waiting for you to get me what I want. I guess 300 tonnes of stolen ones is OK.
They would have to be delivered to specific location inside the bubble, one of my guys can pick it up.
Let me know when you have the goods, and I will give you the location and time.

And remember - the clock is ticking, I think I overestimated his air supply, so you may need to be quicker - har har!

Just to show that some of us are attempting to meet your demand, this is the total LTDs collected by myself this evening.

We've still got just over 2 days until your deadline Goliat, and it is possible that we can come up with your 50t of "clean" Low Temperature Diamonds.
What assurances can we have that your operative in the bubble will also act in good faith? I would expect some sort of non-aggression truce as well as safe passage to and from the meet-up if I was to uphold my end of the deal.

So, we're burning Baton then and starting a new sweep of the planet? We could use the map he sent as regions to rule out. He sent it before being "captured." I'm sure Goliat doesn't have the guns to raze the settlement. They built those tough. :)

Cmdr Zenith, thank you very much for your dedication! Our miners are hard at work to retrieve some clean LTD's as well. We usually don't give in to terrorist threats like that, however 2 things are in stake here: the location of the base and, more importantly, Cmdr Baton's life. We have therefore decided to forfeit the direct action and opted to cooperate with Cmdr Goliat.

I understand that discussing this matter on this channel of communication may be disrupting to some dedicated Rifters. I will contact you separately to discuss further steps.

If anyone else is willing to help, please contact me via PM.

Cmdr Shallowgrave signing out.

I've been sitting here eating my dinner and studying the googledoc that was originally attach to Bartons announcement and noticed something out of the ordinary. The legend and the colors don't match up. There's a color that's not assign to any CMDR. Columns AQ and AR also depart from Barton's usual pattern. Might be something, might be nothing. I will test my theory and report back. Have a look:

It looks from the googledoc like he finished on parallel -30 deg. When I've spoken to Baton last time over open comms, he was exploring with Goliath, they were discussing narrowing search to single degree, subject of theirs conversation was parallel -33 and -32.

Mmm, has anyone considered the possibility that this is a total scam & the pair of them have found nothing?

I assure you Cmdr Baton would not lie about the site. He is of The Winged Hussar. We are honest people, making a hard living at the Borderlands. We don't lie.

I just want to say good luck with the RP. View it as a gift to Drew, from the Riftes.

I all may seem a bit silly at the moment, but it may turn out to be a nice little story in the book.

Play it the way you want it to be remembered. Don't worry about time.

Excellent... I'm there and I'll get on those tonight. I was searching just before the time it was found and it looks like it was on that night side as Baton said that's where he was searching and told me to look on the northern hemisphere with the strong assumption he was on the southern. Once I get back online later (and look at my notes in the cockpit) I may be able to narrow this down to just one side of the planet too as I made a note of where I was and the time of day.

[OOC] I really don't understand all the hatred towards providing some RP for fun and to make this story a bit more exciting... Seriously, why all the vitriol? What's wrong with this community?

CMDR Salomé's comm signal has been detected today (6th February 3303), albeit not in open frequencies (understandably so given the circumstances):

[video=youtube;V-L4BRCi6ng]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-L4BRCi6ng&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Proof that she is still alive, or her signal has been cleverly faked? You decide ;)

Edit: I have no doubt she is anyway, but I thought I'd colour it with some RP spin, just in case it could count as proof :)
