Heartless enterprise media firestorm
07 Dec 2020Kbong85
The closure of the science labs of heartless enterprises has caused a media circus here on the carrier... desperate engineers have circulated number of stories as to the goings on in the labs... CMDR Heartless finally addressed the situation in frightening detail...CMDR Heartless addressing a bay of reporters over 100 from the local system and nearby systems as well: Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for taking the time to meet with me. we all are somewhat familiar with the events surrounding the incident in our labs during our beagle point expedition. During this time we were running sanctioned experiments on the effeciency of tritium aboard the carrier. on the day in question many scientists were present in the lab where the incident occured. during a recent visit to the labs, a lucky accident occurred shedding further light on the situation in that section. as we all know there was an explosion. however, there was no incendiary device present. instead what was detected were a massive amount of photon particles. this is what peaked further interest in the incident in the last couple of weeks. based on further analysis of the onboard survellience systems and internal sensors. the explosion occurred in the containment units of every cylinder currently working with active fuel particles. which all of you already know. what wasnt known until 2 days ago were that these particles originated from a holographic projection system recently installed in the lab.
Room explodes into shouts and yells as everyone vies for the CMDR;s attention.
CMDR Heartless: PEOPLE PEOPLE!!! CALM YOURSELVES!!! we understand the frustration at your level imagine ours... the equipment that was installed was against regulations in that sections. as we knew any energetic mass or particle could cause an incident.
Local News Affiliate: CMDR Heartless do you have the responsible party in custody, or at least under investigation.
CMDR Heartless: Unfortunately not, this particular employee departed at the first large sized station within the standard bubble of earth as soon as we arrived. during this time we investigated all employees departing the vessel and their reasons why... most were weary and wanted to return home after the long voyage... This employee however... Named Ortega Martinez... Is wanted by both EIC Senior Legal Investigators as well as The Imperial council... Imperial Legal Authorities were notified prior to this briefing of this announcement and will announce further details as well as a bounty contract to any pilot able to locate him... we prefer he is brought in alive however our intel suggests this is not going to be possible. We assume this person escaped through refugee status as his last log entry showed him checking in at the station. local authorities in that system in tandem with Heartless Enterprises and DarkFlemish Corp officers were unable to locate him on stated station... One detail that did recently come to light is that this agent which we shall now refer to him as met personally with CMDR Heartless and her legal team as well as Aisling Duval herself for the legal hearings that were conducted on the personnel from our carrier that had prior ties. As you can now say. our companies have proverbially stepped in it... we understand that paychecks during this time could be seen as aiding and abedding, however we hope any authorities involved will understand that our companies have to pay out directed salaries. we have no choice by the Pilots Federation Decree. Our resources have now been fully redirected towards locating this individual and bringing them before the galactic council to stand justice for their crimes...
Reporter from the regulus system: CMDR Heartless how exactly did this device cause the incident to occur, i know everyone is afraid to ask this question but it must be asked.
CMDR Heartless: Jon is it? Jon most people in our day and age cant comprehend the physics involved when it comes to photons. this sadly is a weak spot in humanity and has been for thousands of years. its hard to understand something that you cant feel. Everyday that any of us spend on a planet with the sun shining on us... we cant feel it but aside from the warmth the sunlight seems to provide, the light itself is exerted in a force known as photons. these photons while you cant feel it are actually pushing on you. in essence if you research the old old earth technology of solar sails. this is what happened here. when the emitter in the lab came online it would seem that it exerted every amount of force that it could on all of the containment chambers currently in us in the labs. and the photon energy essentially pushed the tritium particles which were already in a charged state through the magnetic containment field on the units. again we apologize as a company due to the fact that none of us could ever have forseen an attack in this manner. I have spent the last several days myself in an almost sleepless state trying to analyze the data. and find a way to explain how it wasnt malicious in intent... but i couldnt and it is my duty as an independent pilot to report things of this nature...
CMDR Heartless: I will now turn the floor over to our corporate liason Dr. Elizabeth Weir and our chief science analyst, Dr Richard Woolsey.
Dr Weir: Again we once again remind the public to remain calm, the inspectors have finished their full investigations of the lab spaces, and extracted any portions of the workspace for forensic analysis. To all of the scientists that were recently furloughed, both Heartless Corp. as well as Aisling Duval will be covering the salaries of all affected employees during the time that you were and will be off. as soon as the labs are safe to reopen, we will reopen them.
OFF CAMERA:::
Kelly Klaufenburg: CMDR you promised me this wouldnt happen.you promised me exclusives... this totally goes against that. cmdr i asked you yesterday if you had any further details and you lied to me and said no...
CMDR Heartless: Kelly this is sensitive information, until i was able to meet with the imperial council and galactic representative authorities i couldnt issue any other type of statement. plausuble deniability would maybe be understood here, but ur cloaked camera drone hasnt fooled me from the start that you record all of our off camera interviews. i just dont understand why. i chose you because of your no bullshit approach. it took me 3 weeks of pleading with the independant pilots federation, to begin to be able to pressure your company to force you to cover our carriers trip, and needless to say it cost my company 1 billion credits in corporate wheel greasing. to make it happen. Kelly you are a reporter held in ultimate esteem here on the carrier. the passengers ALL OF US!!! look to you for our news. even me. Kelly you are now a member of our crew and i expect you to act accordingly, your boss would have taken this position if you didnt, and im much happier to have you here than him. So tonight officers will be closing down the stargazer nightclub for Senior staff and bridge crew as well as their guests for a corporate dance party. everyone must 'Bust a move' so to speak. to prove their space here. kelly i hope u have been working on the routines i sent u last week. because you and i are performing together tonight. dont worry i have our led tubes for the outfits.
Kelly Klaufenburg: CMDR I am still very disappointed by your response.
CMDR Heartless: Kelly due to legal ramifications involved and the pending release of subsequent information we couldnt tell you anything without releasing the information in a press conference format. The pilots federation was explicit on this detail. Kelly I personally am really sorry i couldnt deliver anything to you this time without a press conference but it was required. Kelly you know i always do the best i can for you, in the entire time that the independent pilots federation has existed you are the ONLY person to ever have unfettered interview access with CMDR DF and myself. Kelly remember when you and i got into the fight about the name of the DBX Challenger. from then on i took a liking to you. you have a no bullshit approach. dont ever lose that. anyway. i have some more reports to file and i need to take a nap before tonights event. CMDR DF will be in attendance and i will see if i can get him to do another private interview with you. and ask him to address some of the concerns you have regarding this incident. would that make you and your viewers happy?
Kelly: Absolutely CMDR but you have to commit to the interviews so i can air them in the following days.
CMDR Heartless: I can guarantee my interview but CMDR DF in relation to all of this has very little time these days. myself and him have spent 12 hour days pouring over incident data and condolensce letters to the families of the staff that were lost.
Back at the press conference..
AFIN affiliate local system reporter: Dr Weir Allegations have arrisen recently regarding the legitimacy of CMDR Heartless' assets within the known systems on regards of age... it appears CMDR Heartless is far older than originally understood by galactic authorities... More over it appears CMDR Heartless was adopted by 3 seperate families over her lifespan and is in fact regarded to be over 200 years old... local forensic teams analyzed recent DNA samples obtained from a biomed checkpoint at a medical facility CMDR Heartless was inspecting per EIC Orders.
Dr Weir: Allegations over the age of CMDR Heartless are unfounded. while we do recognize as of recent tests her telemirs are reporting a different age than she states, galactic phenomena can explain this. after the ejecture from the magellan melrose CMDR Heartless pod was pulled into an eccentric orbit around a black hole. these kinds of things are understood more in reletavistic terms, she spent about 150 years there. this lines up with the type 9 recent deployment by the mass produced shipyards, what cmdr heartless experienced in the pod as mere seconds were translated into over 100 years, some unknown force, suspected thargoid maybe do to proximity to the object, humans cant venture this close due to time dialation. the pod was pulled free, and flung toward a nearby system and then accelerated to near relavistic speeds, this allowed the CMDR to experience even more time dialation, to her surprise what she thought was mere days was over 150 years now, the pirate crew that was killed was the descendants of the original pirates that murdered her family. dna analysis from her on suit tech confirms this... CMDR Heartless has recently become aware of this data, and is in a state of pause. she regrets what happened, however the family continued its execution style looting of interstellar vessels and Heartless Corp. Laws still remain in place.
