That conference has to be crawling with our operatives. I happen to be one of those UN interpreters (irl) so you could send me as that. Again, perhaps it's stupid, what the interpreters will interpreter will be public anyway. Anyway, I'll go wherever I can fullfill my duty.

I just wonder, it would look suspicious to assign me as an officer to a survey vessel, considering I am not qualified. If you want me to, I will start training either on Geological survey or, perhaps, follow additional training to blend in as an NCO or regular crew member. Could we discuss this question, if my presence is needed aboard the USN Panner? Best wishes. VVVVVV Oh. All clear now. Thanks. Dawncloack fucked around with this message at 10:12 on May 7, 2013 |

I remember this incident in which a pipeline in the Soviet Russia blew up to the high heavens. Rumour had it had they had stolen the software from some US companies, but that it the espionage action had been allowed to go through to deliberately feed Ivan with bogus (and dangerous) software. Here is some old news link I recovered from deep cache. Us Software "blew up Russian Pipeline" I wonder, could we pull this one? It's risky, of course, I have an enormous respect for the feds and I am sure that will take a good, careful look at the software. But if they are behind the UN on jump technology, there is the outside chance they don't spot any bogus code. What do you think? VVVV That's obviously best left to the computer techs.

Waiting tables and posting on internet forums. Have you ever seen James Bond do any of that? Of course you haven't, not even in the new (and ridiculous) films. Little windows in my computer let me see an image of tables full of elegantly dressed people sitting on tables, eating and chatting, framed by two incorporeal hands serving them, much like an LP of Sim Waiter would look like. More bread for you, sir? *click* It's all my fathers fault that I grew up to be doing this. We watched together every James Bond flick, at least three times. Pity they never mentioned the cold fear that grips your stomach when you are surveilling a crowd, and expect violence. Will the lady drink wine? *click* Mentally, I review what my team is doing for the ten thousand time. Half of my team is working as conference room messengers, and are free right now, most probably sending messages. Without looking up, I know that one person should be to my 7 o'clock waiting tables 10-15, and one at 3 o'clock waiting tables 1 to 5. The person to protect is on table 17. As if this mission wasn't difficult enough from this morning we have to protect someone. But the new agent did a fantastic job of dropping a bottle of wine near him, which gave us the opportunity to change his dishes and cutlery for a set we had tested. At least he won't be poisoned, but the poor girl is still being shouted at by the maître, and, through her, I am getting the complete earful. I can't avoid thinking it's a subtle dressing down to myself. The second door to the left Ma'am. *click* At least we get *some* cool tech, like in the movies. A little thin filament in their watches let's them test drinks and sauce for known poisons (oh the marvels of TNEs) and get genetic samples, and everytime I click a button, their glasses go *click* Yes sir, the menu today is completely Halal. *click* What I find funny, though, is the forums. My father would die of laughter if he was alive to hear that the team leader is in his room, posting on internet forums. But what can you do? Sometimes old methods are the best, and when it comes to sending HQ pictures of those present for intelligence to check their backgrounds, steganography is as low-tech, hi-fi as it goes. I am sorry sir, it won't happen again. For the ten thousand time, the girl apologizes to the maître. On the bed of my room, a three-piece with a bullet-proof vest taunts me. Maybe I should put it on. Yes, let´s put it on. And now that I think of it, checking this room and the team's rooms for bugs and IEDs is still pending. gently caress being flown in in a hurry. Let's schedule that.

Report to UN Intelligence Headquaters "TURKEY TROTS TO WATER GG It will cost me an ulcer, but so far, we've kept cmdr. Raw_Beef safe. He´s sat through all this presentations in his uniform, chatted with politicians and corporate suits, the works. In retrospect and for future missions, it was a good idea to assign a pretty girl to throw the wine on him. Like that, if he wants to communicate with us, he only has to pretend to flirt with her. The messages get passed in the wording. The team is tired and on edge, we have performed our protection duties without much intel. We would request if there's any information or positives on the pictures of the delegates, corporate representatives and staff that we sent. We haven't heard or seen of AK, but our search for him was hampered by the same reason we couldn't really follow ms. TildeATH or gain much valuable intel: Peru has really wanted to enforce the neutrality of this conference, and the corridors rooms are closely watched. On to of that, the chambermaids are accompanied by security personnel (I discovered this when some of them knocked on my door) so the chances of doing anything fishy are near zero. I didn't even order my team to try and pass for chambermaids, it would have been unproductive. We will continue to follow our orders. Next checkup for orders in 0300 hours. Ps. Tell the yeoman I'm extremely excited about the james bondesque gadgets. XXX Where is that info on the pics we sent  THE WORLD WONDERS"Now all that was left was to encrypt it and... oh gosh, my dad would laugh at me so much if he learnt that we send messages to headquarters through the ByteCoin Blockchain. Safe as hell, but why do I have to deal with crazed libertardians? The world wonders indeed.

We don't have to focus on piracy. We could have it do recon and surveillance, and, in case of conflict, have it pop up and fire at Federation ships where they don't expect it. If timed right, it could provoke a reaction that could be beneficial for us, in case of conflict. And in the meantime we don't have it fire at anything, so that we keep this ace up our sleeve...

To: Added Space I've just heard about the federation finding those jump engines I think that the Shrike could be very useful in this situation. This is how I see it: The Feds launch survey ships at some point. We know where the jump points are, so we have the shrike follow the one who´s best aimed, or we have them watched or anything. The moment we detect they´ve reliably discovered a JP, we have one of our ships jump first, and camp the JP until they send a ship through. The moment it jumps... bang! Tragic, accidental collision with one of our missiles. This, of course, could fail, depending on how aware they are of our own knowledge of jump points. Let's not forget the Panner incident. (We could still try to feed them false intelligence on that one). Another possible idea is to build a Potemkin picket somewhere where there's not a JP. I heard some solid arguments against this (namely that we need our ships elsewhere) but, as I said, what if it's just a potemkin jump gate somewhere? I doubt the feds would come close to investigate or blow it up, surely they would challenge it publicly or just make a note for future destruction? That would potentially stretch their resources. Anyway sir, I'm no strategist, I just wanted to share some ideas with you.

All these talk reminds me of John LeCarre's novels, which everyone ITT should read. To sum up, the main character, a higher-up in the British intelligence services often reflects about how they play the spy game for its own sake, and just don't care about the politics, how him and his soviet counterpart are interchangeable and no one has any delusion about their side being better or more moral. That said, my loyalty to the UN is hard as TNE-alloyed tungsten.

bgreman posted:Such coordinated fleet departures are rather rare in Federation operational history. It may be worth taking note. Saros posted:Can we send them a polite message enquiring? Maybe they have found Shrikes hideout. Saros posted:Also might pay to ask why they feel the need to arm cornucopia. WRT the fleet movements, I think there's an option that we still haven't explored. Send three Samars to random point in space and have them sit tight, or activate the sensors if thats the only way fred would notice them. But that's the point, by sending them ONLY to points where there is no JP, we give away no information and we might confuse the Feds into thinking we've discovered that JP and we've made it easier for them. Little risk, nice potential gain. Calling it here first: The Feds are responding to first contact. The first thing to contact was an alien-made warhead. Then it went boom.

Kommando posted:
What if, instead of surveying the whole system, as we did (during peacetime, without them knowing, etc.) they find the first JP they find and they jump? I think we'll still beat them, I seriously think they are rushing because they must know we are ahead. They are gambling that maybe they find a JP before we jump, to my mind. We should take this seriously. Also, scrambling in the current circumstances could be a ruse. They must know we know the JPs. Maybe they started a search, but are also checking to see if we picket some place in space. Let's seriously, seriously send the pickets to somewhere where there's nothing. Let's not forget they might have hired the Shrike to check on us. Coolguye posted:If you've got a reliable source of creaky, derelict FEAN hulls to refit into black ships I'm sure you'll have the UNIN's attention.

all you want. It will still take months for FEAN to survey Sol. By then, the Turing will have made her jump, looked about and hopefully come back. Ding, Eagle has landed.

Ok, that makes sense... thanks for taking the time to answer. Still, another question, purely tactical (remember I am a spy, otherwise I play Panzer General by savescumming, so bad a tactician I am). Since we are going for a model in which big ship spots from far away for the other big ships which just carry big launchers, wouldn't it make sense to have a small scouting ship to be used to flank and direct fire to an enemy task force, in addition to the Gibraltars? Or does active sensors somehow invalidate that? I am just trying to add value to our current space tactics.

Please check the message below TildeATH posted:FROM: CORNURD I would advice any negotiators to be extremely careful with their words in agreements. That wording I bolded would open the door for the research to enter the posession of the Federation.

Ceebees posted:On a lighter note, how many watchlists do you think we're all on after this little line of thought? Oh man, I was thinking the same. Innocent_Bystander posted:Tell me if I missed any. The main problem we actually have is how to get the guns to Mars, that's an actual valid concern. But sir, back in 2013 there were already some automatic weapons made with 3D printers... wouldn't it be enough to supply whatever insurgent group with some designs? That takes care of a practical problem, other than that I think the correct course of action would be to gauge the intentions and disposition of any BFM remanants on Mars. Otherwise we'll be supplying weapons blind. If my opinion is worth something, I think that, if reports show that there's enough of a chance to have an insurgent group on Mars, training, cash and 3d printer designs should be more than enough. The way I see it, what we want is a bit of the ole assymetric warfare. Also, some chemistry lessons to make explosives would work nicely and be totally deniable. Knowledge has no factory marks. That said, I am also of the opinion that our priority should be to gather intelligence on the Federation on earth and create a credible counter-intelligence capacity. Our Federation counterparts, from what I gather in the preliminary reports, are very, very competent people. I will follow orders, that said, and I concede that an insurgent group in Mars might have some value. Also, I know full well that mr. Innocent_bystander has made it cristal clear that the plan doesn't involve nukes, but I would like to add to that. If I am ever given the order to provide nukes to insurgents, rebels or anyone not 150% trustworthy, I will resign immediately, and/or find my way to an isolated room, revolver in hand, in the finest naval tradition.

Whatever we do, I think we should try contact first. Something simple like sending a signal with the ten first prime numbers. It's something that 1. It's unmistakeable from the scientific point of view as something coming from a sentien civilization and 2. It's maths, unless we find a civilization traumatized by the Great Galactic Longdivisioner, they should understand we are trying to communicate in a non-hostile manner. Also, I'm sure my character doesn't know about this, but he'd volunteer in a single person ship to make second contact in an unarmed ship, con dos cojones. Oh, also, I am about to do (and post about) something BFM related in Mars, as that's where I am.... would my superiors change my orders or make me wait in this case?

Dr. Snark Sir I've just seen the UNN news flash on the attempted kidnapping of the SS Mayflower. I'm in dismay. I assume there must be a reson why I still haven't received any orders since coming to Mars, I know there are lots of things going on at UNFI. That said, I haven't been wasting my time here at Mars. I've been recconnoitering the terrain and checking that the fake identities that the Yeoman provided work. So far I've opened bank accounts, passed Federal checkpoints and applied for some courses, all without hitch. I've also been around in dive-holes and colorful neighborhoods, keeping my ears open, and I think I've found a thread to follow. One of the neighborhoods where one can find pro BMF graffiti houses the male gay scene in Mars. It was surveiled by my team with discreet night vision minicameras, and we were able to obtain footage of some of the young vandals. Their comings and goings seem to come from a fine, upstanding establishment called "The Red Oyster", that sports, above its entrance, a neon sign with the name of the establishment and two traditional Mars symbols, the point of one going through the circle of the other. Subtle imagery, if you ask me. The thing is, at least one of the young kids in every team that sets out to tag walls has that symbol tatooed on the collarbone. We aren't completely sure of this, of course, since the collarbone is not always visible, but it's been obsrved more than once. The same young have been observed going around talking to people, and I can bet the cap of my uniform that they were going about doing dead-drops and other usual spy stuff. I must say, though, their dead-drop method was very sophisticated and I think we can learn from it. The used some homemade electronics that would establish a quick connection and datadump between a hidden repository and some kind of device in their pockets, that way the delivery of data is quick, and discreet, since they don't have to lean, crouch or put their hand anywhere suspicious. My team, to be honest with you, found it half by chance, half because it was suspicious that someone would lean exactly on the same water fountain, every week on Tuesday. These kids are clever, but they have some tricks to learn. I hope my initiative doesn't displease you, but I thought it better to use our time effectively, while we waited for the orders to contact the BFM. From this point on, it's up to you. I could go in that bar and make some friends, see what turns up. It's only good luck that UNFI training lets me supress my gag reflex, if you don't mind my joke. Have a good day sir. oi87NG7uun76GYNNBIo78builkcfy65VUYGHj zO8YNi7tfb53SFzuytrc2uynmO8YNUNMJJhhH gninmNB76b7iyuvFB7Tfbnng8go8mbmyG86Nñ vtwVNU78g5rGYjoÑ0BESZQ31JVYTDH98n8gfb ------------------------------------- Dawncloack fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jul 28, 2014 |

It hadn't been a bad couple of weeks intellgence-wise. Neither it had been for my own ego, considering the amount of attention I'd received. I started going to The Red Oyster (blessed be the child of the 80's that named the bar) after my cover job in a metal workshop. A rough, tiring but satisfing blue collar job that matched perfectly with who I wanted to become. The bar was nice, and it actually had a nice atmosphere. I wasn't expecting that for a dive that also worked as a front for a radical organisation, but trust me, I've been to more transgressive (and rougher) gay dives back on earth. The couches on the sides were clean, the music just the right loud, the dark room had just this little glimmer that let you not bump into people, unless you meant to bump in the crotch. And the crowd was playful in the gay sense, but my street sense told me from the first time that, in this bar, snooker implements were used to play snooker, and broken bottles ended up in the trash. Soon I discovered why: Most of these guys knew each other from the local trade union. That threw me on a loop. The feds had respected most of the unions formed when the UN was running the place, but they would not leave it unwatched. But that mistery would have to wait. On the first night I drank some weed-infused beers and listened to the mellow countrydub, soaking it all in. I did the same on the second night, and then I hit lucky, when I overheard a language I knew. The music didn't let me hear the words, despite it being two pals bantering, but the melody of the language was unmistakeable: it was Bulgarian. A minute of thought gave me an idea. I went to the pinball machine, played a couple of games, and finished the last with a kick to the machine and an audible "майка ти!", which almost immediately got a response from the guy with just the right tatoo: "ей, българин ли си?" to which I had to answer that I wasn't. From that point on, I didn't have to lie a lot, just tweak some things. During our conversation over beers and snooker my Bulgarian girlfriend became a former boyfriend, and my tendency to swear in Bulgarian was no lie, I actually did. We met again the next night, played pool, got drunk and talked politics. My story was that I had emigrated from Spain to Argentina during the Great Sequester Depression in 2013, and had first worked at, then organized, different mutualist cooperatives. By then I had 5 beers on me, and while I sent the 6th to see what had happened to the other five I ranted about how Mars was a new opportunity for mankind, about how the loving governments were spoiling it to do the same as usual, about how, for a while, it had looked as if something different could be done here ("That's when I decided to come to Mars, you know, I wanted to be part of it, but by the time I arrived it was over, and this was a federal hole"). He ended up at my place, and the amounts of beer I had drunk helped me then: I gave them as an excuse as to why I was having a whiskey dick. Not that it helped me the night after that. Reverse James Bond, my team was going to call me, I knew it. By the end of the second week I was so into my role that I caught myself wondering if we were dating, a point that was rendered moot later than night when he winked at me with a feral smile and asked me if I had been in the dark room, a dark room that became even darker when a sack was passed over my head, and was darkened still by a skillful blow to the back of my head. When I came back to my senses I was somewhere quiet, tied to a chair, sack still on, and my clothes didn't feel like they were in the right place. They had obviously searched me for microphones. My team would be following the action, and they knew not to intervene: even if they could point where I was and they barged in, they would hardly be in time to save me. I was exactly where I wanted to be, and now I only had to hear what I wanted to hear, the phrase that would show me that thse BFM guys weren't a completely amateurish outfit. - "You have 5 seconds to tell me why I shouldn't splatter your loving brains over the wall, you fed." That was it. The rest was just bargaining. PS. I'll get working on those reports soon, but right now I am somewhat distracted by the circumstances. Please bear with me.

If it was for the BFM alone I wouldn't have risen the priority of the message, but I think you are going to want to hear it very badly. This is my executive summary, attached you will find a large file with meeting points, reported names, pictures in some cases, drop points, and all the everyday fluff about the functioning of the local BFM cells. Also, I am sure my team has reported on my injuries, but rest assured that I am well. The local cells have a policy of trying to intimidate potential recruits to see if they are serious. First on the BFM: The BFM at this point is a mere shadow of the power it once had. Numbering some 2.21 million, the vast majority of these are civilians and/or refugees. As you know, the Federation has been running an intensive propaganda campaign in an attempt to entice more moderate BFM communities (and their resources) back into the fold. They have been fairly successful, there have been a number of noteworthy defections of entire settlements back to Federation control. The remaining settlements are understaffed, and BFM administrators estimate the "colony" as a whole is operating at less than 75% efficiency. Further investigation revealed that while some hardline separatist or independence factions still exist, none of them have engaged in any major acts of terrorism since the Battle of Mars. There are, however, intriguing rumors of a cell working on assembling a surface-to-orbit launcher to attempt to destroy Federation ships stationed at Mars using stolen Federation missile plans. I must stress that these are rumours, but I noticed that the narrative of the rumours was pretty consistent. While there is a lingering anti-UN sentiment due to the perceived failure to protect BFM interests during the Mars Crisis, all the evidence I've able to uncover indicates that there are no plans for or history of anti-UN terrorism. On Vasu: When specifically brought up the attempted Rheineland hijacking, my contacts were unerringly evasive, but eventually this is what I've been able to ascertain. Vasu arrived on Mars in mid-December aboard a small Cornucopian-registered transport and proceeded to actively recruit from among the most violent and iconoclastic BFM sects. Every time I asked my contacts believe may have been behind the attempted hijacking, the answers are speculative, but many assume that, since Vasu was last known to be an agent of the Cornucopian Defense Forces, the plan was masterminded by either Grand Principle TildeATH or Capitán de Navío Raw_Beef. The current situation and my new orders: I haven't informed the local cells that I am a UN agent, and I'm keeping that ace in my sleeve for now. When it comes to leaking the intelligence data about those transports with personnel and arms, I can think of several options, but I would like to have your opinion on how this should go. Is there any way that someone among the people in my extended report could hear about the transport movements? If it's possible, either you or my team could arrange for that. Maybe some everyday printouts left in one of the offices the UN is vacating from Mars? The BFM elements I know would make no bones in trespassing abandoned offices, specially if word is that they were left un a hurry and there might be some forgotten pistols or whatever. Or we could recover a vintage classic and have someone with UN printouts be stabbed and robbed in the BFM neighborhood. I'm open to ideas. In any case, I will try to tap the computers the local BFM elements use to see if messages are exchanged, if I manage to tap their darknet. I could, of course, try to introduce those messages myself in the darknet, but I think questions would be asked about the origin of the information. In any case, I think it shouldn't be terribly difficult to make those leaks. Best wishes sir. 4WfQ0KU5P9sumPVknUCjM5pPLwCRU4KmX9TGHuJr izqu9RZMnxOdt5wmC1SPuhiMomlpuAvSmaRFywM0 kDaglrFXzlDgu3g8G7d1tx0SQot8kNYeF7TZHtS9 R58dej5uoTVhBULzZ5PguHPRI8zOzBEaCcqM6bhi GHQwAURlH2S9KNrYBGr3oAlcaA9TSBAqJd0usVBs -------------------------------------------------------

^^^^^^ LOOOOOOOOOL GENIUS Reminder that I'm doing my best to filter all that info to the BFM, but I'm busy with work so no writing up spy fiction. What I've done is to suggest to some BFM mates to raid UN vacated offices, where my boss left transcripts. There are, I'm sure, other leaks, but those depend also in Dr. Snark.

bgreman posted:Later in the afternoon, initial news reports in the UN media reveal what little details exist. The freighters are still several hours away from landfall at Earth, and as there was no obvious malice or ill-intent evident in the actions of the Cornucopian vessels, the matter is largely regarded as grandstanding on the part of the Republic of Cornucopia. How did they know it was a trap? Because my impression is, they knew, they knew something about the operation I played a minor role in. VVVV You, sir, are being facetious.

Raw_Beef posted:Its not like running out of a crucial resource ever started armed conflicts between opposing powers... Wouldn't it make sense to both sides to avoid the usual pitfalls of prisonners dilemma and discuss this ahead of time? The UN could have a duranium sharing agreement that slightly benefits us, while avoiding the destruction of the human race. I'll leave it up to our resident diplomat.

OOC: That's true, back when I sent encrypted messages of my own I was trying to find your encripted messages I tried to find yours to copy, scramble and post, but to no avail. What have you been up to ? edit: It's funny, I'm working at an aluminium mill on mars and suddenly my interrogation muscle is twitching.
