This is Commander Goliat, the most known* pirate in the Conflux sector.
I got your friend and all his precious data, flying with him for 2 days finally paid off.
His power plant has been destroyed on PRU AESCS NC-M D7-192 A 3 A and he has enough air and water in his SRV to last for 4 days, so you better be quick.
I will release his location after one of my friends in the “bubble” will receive 50 tons of unmarked Low Temperature Diamonds, you have three days to mine them and get them to him or cmdr Baton will perish and I will destroy the data banks and the site.
Contact me here when you have the diamonds.
This is the proof that I am really holding your friend explorer:
*most known and only as far as I am aware.
Nice find Commander! Looking forward to reading the mission logs!Originally Posted by Baton(Source)
Conflux - PRU AESCS NC-M D7-192 A 3 A - found the Delta mission flying in wing with Cmdr Goliat who joined the search party yesterday after I started begging for help
Three weeks, help of many pilots and superior being was necessary to discover it.
We found 9 sites with geysers as a side bonus
Will post the details shortly - but for now the small teaser:

Oh no! This isn't good. Isn't good at all.Originally Posted by Goliat
Any chance of negotiations? Whatever you do, please don't harm CMDR Baton! He's been a good ally of the Rifters. We'll meet your demands but ... damn! We might need more time!
I would burn both.
By their signatures they're both of the same faction so probably best to let them sort it out internally as you can't really have members of your own group taking other members hostage.Originally Posted by Jaiotu
Sigh...Originally Posted by Goliat
Yes. But if they want a little roleplay in exchange for the hard work they put into finding the Conflux Delta site ... I'm all for it. I don't have the patience or, apparently, the eyesight required to find these sites on my own so I appreciate the hard work and effort they put into doing it.Originally Posted by frostypaw
Besides ... the Formidine Rift has, at least for me, always been about the narrative. The Conflux Hostage Crisis of 3303 sounds like a perfect narrative element to distract me for a few days. No way I can extract 50 Low Temp Diamonds in three days though. I'm either going to need more time ... or more help
Nah. Just leave him on the surface when you're finished, I'll be by a bit later to pick him up. It's hard to get steak out here.Originally Posted by Goliat
Hold on buddy.
Rescue mission is on the way.
Love it. Game on.Originally Posted by Goliat
Cheers,
Drew.

Time isn't subject for negotiations, so better hurry if You want to see CMDR Baton in one piece. And don't even try to give stolen diamonds. There are more lives at stake if You're curious, so my advice? Start mining those diamonds with as many CMDRs as you can find.
END OF TRANSMISSION.
Looks like he's on to you!Originally Posted by artigan99
So, I guess I need to head back to the Bubble, grab my Cobra and come rescue Baton?
Well THIS just got a whole lot harder...Originally Posted by Goliat
Mining LTD is a PITA on the best of days due to the rarity. Considering the time contraints coupled with the distance involved to get them out there, NPC pirating would have been my first go-to plan. Goliat, I don;t know if this is do-able in 3 days, considering also today is Sunday, and most people are back at work tomorrow (IRL stuff keeps getting in the way of my Elite: Dangerous time!)
OR...
Instead of diamonds we load up on GUNS... and rescue by force S.W.A.T. style
