YC113.11.21
Today is the first day of my mission to
delve into the origins of the New Eden Cluster and its inhabitants.
Having recently Joined the Interstellar
Geographic Society and made my base of operation’s, for the time
being, in our Gallente offices at the University of Caille Bourynes
VII – MII, I have decided to investigate the home constellation of
the ancient race, The Yan Jung.
On my first day I have met some
interesting individuals, some helpful, some downright dangerous.
Though above all I have become
acquainted with, and have begun my long battle against the Empire
Archaeologists worst enemy....RED TAPE.
Like an innocent fool I made tracks
straight for the archaeological site of the Yan Jung home region of
the Algintal Constellation in the Sinq Laison Region of Gallente
Empire space.
Arriving in Deltole system I warped straight to the Yn
Jung Relic site beacon, eager to run my scanners over every part of
the ancient structures floating in the quiet corner of that system.
Arriving at the point where my navigation system plotted the Ruins I
instead found an acceleration gate placed there by the Directive
Enforcement Department of CONCORD.
The automated response form the gate
structure informed me that I needed a pass key to gain access to the
Relic site beyond the gate.
I could go on for hours about police
states and blocking academic access to important, and culturally significant ruin sites and how they impact on the day to day rights
we take for granted as members of the Gallente nation, but I won't.
Instead I will focus on my task and how to complete it. I will also
hopefully avoid any 'complications' with the D.E.D., and its agents.
I made a call to our admin section at
the Bourynes Office and found out I had to contact an agent in
Lirsautton by that name of Aruze Auz at the Creo-Drone facility
there.

Upon calling Ms. Auz I was informed that she would not speak
with me unless I could produce my 'graduation certificate'. It turns
out that I had to pay a visit to a paper pusher in an office in the
FedMart station in Abenyc. One Vausitte Yrier.

A small fee for processing and a trip
to Aurcel and back and I was ready to speak with Ms. Auz in
Lirsautton.
After
a lengthy eyeing of my certificate I was asked to preform a series of
favours, which included negotiating a deal with a dubious character
and heir to a corporate fortune, which included acquiring contraband
via force. The gentleman in question being Mamo Guerre. The D.E.D. database has a listing on him and it reads thus;
"Mamo Guerre is an extremely wealthy Gallente citizen who's father earned the family's wealth in the retail industry. He owns a sizeable part of FedMart and has been listed in the Opren's 100 Wealthies Men list of Everyshore.
One of Mamo's most prized possessions is the moon of Lirsautton VI. Every inch of it is his, and the area around it he fondly nicknamed - Mamo's Backyard.
You can find all kinds of gadgets, ships and structures in Mamo's Backyard. It has become sort of a junkyard, as Mamo has a tendancy of not cleaning up his mess. Most of the ships floating here are not functional, having been left here to rust after they have served their purpose, or taken apart in one of Mamo's experiments."

More favors and dodgy dealings and I was finished with
these agents and personalities and on my way to yet another
interesting character that I had never heard of before today.
Jannagiers Estacan is the 'Chief
Indoctrination Officer for the Friends of Nature.'
Based in Audaerne system at the Natura Seminary. A cutlural and for
want of a better word religious facillity [Temple] floating in a
quiet pocket of space for no particular reason. I would best
describe him a a facilitator for the Temple with a “do what has to be
done” type of attitude.

He had me hauling around fertilizer,
batteries and a cache of small arms. An interesting piece of kit to
have me smuggle in to a station in Deltole System. What a peaceful organization of exponents of nature need with a large quantity of
small arms I do not want to know.
I
suppose I should care, but caring won't get me access to the Yan Jung
Relics now will it?
So my
first day researching the Yan Jung, I find my self blue-balled by
bureaucrats, breaking a few laws, fired upon by pirates, and carting
around guns and fertilizer. At the end of it finding myself only
marginally closer to my goal of access to the Relic site in Deltole.
I also
now have to look over my shoulder, just in case the police, customs,
or the much feared Serpentis Cartel decide that I have now become a
“person of interest.”
But such is the life of an ambitious Archaeologist.
Signing off, until
I have more to report,
