Today, 2/10/3304, I completed the route to my safehouse in possession of Imperial Princess Aisling Duval. For those who were unaware, I kidnapped the Princess yesterday and took her as a prisoner aboard my vessel. My plan is to feed Princess Duval to the Thargoids unless my demand of 200 or more nominations for me, Zarek Null, to become the new leader of the Pilot's Federation was met. Despite various rescue attempts and even the interception of my travel plans, the Princess was successfully transported to my safehouse. Opponents to my plan, however, did get close. Having malfunctioned my cargo hatch, they thought they had recovered the Princess. It was then then that biowaste rained down upon their canopies! I had loaded up on biowaste so that in the event of a hatchbreaker limpet successfully attaching the odds of losing the Princess would be smaller. Stunned at my genious last-resort plan, many pilots were discouraged at my pure intellectual superiority over them.
Notable assets to my plan were my personal Galactic Military of the Nomads and Smiling Dog Crew, and even the special assistance of CMDR ixTobiasxi, a Fuel Rat who assisted in refueling many of my pilots. The combined power of all of these pilots assisted me in monitoring enemy comms channels as well as personally escorting me safely to my safehouse. There are too many commanders who performed noble deeds to list one by one, just know that their assistance was present in my endeavor.
The Imperial pilots of the 13th Legion were relentless in their attempts to thwart my plan. Although they came very close to succeeding, they ultimately failed to overcome the strength of my Galactic Military.
Now pilots, with the fate of the Princess in my hands, do you bend the knee? Nominate me, Zarek Null, as the new leader of the Pilot's Federation or else your blue haired Princess becomes lunch. Tomorrow, 2/10/3304, I will be departing from HR 1183 starting at 8PM GMT. Then you will have a second and final chance to save the Princess - or you can just meet my demands and she will be safely released. Your actions determine her fate. Will the Princess become lunch - or will she be rescued? The clock is ticking......
