A thousand years ago,
复件 (95) air max2, that group had a similar jihad, grabbing real estate left vacant by recent Transcendences. Stopping the Hegemony was an exciting bit of action in that part of the galaxy. I think these people are back, taking advantage of the general panic attending the Blight (which is admittedly a much greater threat). My advice: Beware of the Alliance and its claims of heroic efforts.

Nevertheless, it's remarkable that an entity that has not revealed its location or special interests -- namely "Hanse" -- should be smearing the efforts of the Alliance for the Defense. The Alliance kept its constituents secret only during that period when its forces were being gathered, when a single stroke of the Perversion's power might destroy it entirely. Since that time,
复件 (53) air max2, it has been quite open in its efforts. Hanse wonders how a single starship could be worth the Alliance's attention. As Harmonious Repose was the site of the latest turn of events, we are in a position to give some explanation. The ship in question, the Out of Band II, is clearly designed for operations at the Bottom of the Beyond -- and is even capable of limited operations within the Slow Zone. The ship presented itself as a special zonographic flight commissioned to study the recent turbulence at the Bottom. In fact, this ship's mission is a very different one. In the aftermath of its violent departure,
复件 (53) air max, we have pieced together some extraordinary facts: At least one of the ship's crew was human. Though they made great efforts to stay out of view and used Skroderider traders as intermediaries, we have recordings. A biosequence of one individual was obtained, and it matches the patterns maintained by two out of three of the Homo sapiens archives. (It's well known that the third archive, on Sneerot Down, is in the control of Human sympathizers.) Some might say this deception was founded in fear. After all, these events happened after the destruction of Sjandra Kei. We think otherwise: The ship's initial contact with us occurred before the Sjandra Kei incident. We have since made a careful analysis of the repair work our yards performed on this vessel. Ultradrive automation is a deep and complex thing; even the cleverest of cloaking cannot mask all the memories in it. We now know that the Out of Band II was from the Relay system and that it left there after the Perversion's attack. Think what this means. The crew of the Out of Band II brought weapons into a habitat, kill several local sophonts,
mbt sandals on sale, and escaped before our musicians [harmonizers? police?] were properly notified. We have good reason to wish them ill. Yet our misfortune is a small thing compared to the unmasking of this secret mission. We are very grateful that the Alliance is willing to risk so much in following this lead. There's more than the usual number of unsubstantiated assertions floating around on this news thread. We hope our facts will wake some people up. In particular,
复件 (9) 复件 air max1, consider what "Hanse" may really be. The Perversion is very visible in the High Beyond, where it has great power and can speak with its own voice. Down here,
复件 (77) air max2, it is more likely that deception and covert propaganda will be its tools. Think on this when you read postings from unidentified entities such as "Hanse"!
