SOS

**Conrac**

This morning began much like any other, in fact they have all merged into a gray continuum of mission after mission extending back to rebirth and projecting forward to a yet unrealized death. Along the way, you may be fortunate to lend a hand to others in need as they follow there own paths.

Signal Lost

As an ex-waterman one can not ignore a call for help .. please render all assistance to this ship in peril and the souls aboard.

Akunin, of the Aeria Gloris, one of the flagships of the Familia Grigori, also received a similar distress call this morning. I've brought my own ship, the Quinotaur, into the field as well and am keeping the beacon open to any further broadcasts.

This is why we can't have nice things.

All players contact me for your next move.

I try to contact the Ishtar II Via a digital stream on the channel of emergency beacon and i got answer, but unfortunately the same answers are very disturbed, and i was... late i think the entire crew of Ishtar II are dead now.

I am retriving some datas from inside the simulation where the Ishtar operator send his last hopes...

I think in a while i can put togheter the data...

**SEPET**

**psilody**

Trying to get a handle on the dates, but it seems these two might still be alive. Has anyone got a clues how to find them?

Also, sounds like we need to handle with care... whatever infected their system is still in it most likely, and i sure didn't like the sound of it...

**GreyMountain**

This is an interesting turn of events. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on any and all activities regarding those ships and their crews.

Has anyone gathered any more information? A couple of fellow Neonates reported Nonoma jacking in a few days back. But I've heard little else.
