Location: Freeport 6, Tau-29 System, Contested Space
Subject: Désarroi
Pale Bride, from the deck of the Pudica, alongside her contemporary, Honya - watch their owner down in the dock's upper level, discussing with both the Administrator of the Freeport as well as a Liberty Rogue, pertaining to something that leaves Pale Bride excited as a Kusarian schoolgirl on crack, and Honya unamused. For a second, the video feed cuts to the outside camera of the Pudica
"And I told you, Administrator - He's only here to hand it over to me. If you're so concerned about his presence, you can have him escorted off the station once he can get a ride. As for the ID of the ship, I'm having it swapped out for a Freelancer transponder." Nodoka says to the administrator, who departs to get a hold of the security team to escort the rogue off-base.
Standing before them in all its' glory is the latest addition to Nodoka's Personal Fleet, a Hellhound-class Liberty Rogue Gunboat, mounted on its sides, two Razor-type Anti-matter cannons, as well as several Turrets along the top and sides.
The feed switches to the cockpit camera, Honya and Pale bride visible on their seperate platforms.
Aboard the Pudica, the two AI discuss their new addition. "I'm so excited...Our very own gunship! Honya, why aren't you excited?" Pale Bride squees in excitement, only to turn to Honya, seeing her discontent. "Because it paints a big bullseye on our backs. We're already enemies to so many. Gallia, Kusari, Unlawfuls - we've yet to contact Guildmaster Enma Loyola of the Core and issue a token of peace of some sort, and because we're buddying up to the Core, the Order isn't going to like us much either! And don't get me started on the Liberty Rogues who will want Hanamura-sensei's head on a platter for obtaining one of their gunships without authorization." Honya retorts, slightly concerned about her owner's recent purchases possibly painting a target on their backs. "Well, at least now we have sufficient firepower to deal with any idiot who thinks they can claim a bounty on us. " "Yes, short of a gunboat or worse, a heavy capital ship like a Cruiser." "..." "You know what would have been a better investment?" "What?" "Seeing if Ageira or if any of the major companies had anything resembling a robotic shell for the two of us - and buying those." "Yuck, one of those skeletony bots? I'll pass." "Not that, a shell that emulates a human body. I was wanting one.. I want to experience life like Humans do.. have a body to call my own, and not be cooped up in a ship that I can't even walk around in. It's a sad existence when you think about it." "Well then, bring it up to her, maybe she can find someone with ties to Ageira or something."
Nodoka approaches the bridge of the Pudica, moving to the cockpit to unmount her AI. "So what do you guys think?" Nodoka says to the two, preparing them to be unmounted from the Pudica. "I love it, but Honya seems to be concerned about it painting a target on our backs and whatnot." Pale Bride says. "That and.. I'd rather you spent your money on something else." Honya declares to Nodoka, raising an eye from the woman in question. "Oh? Like what?" She says, inquisitively. "Well... Shells for me and Bride-san to have.. It's hard being cooped up in the ship of the day, to be honest." Honya responds. "... I can see what I can do. I'll send a message to some House Corporations and see how much it would be to have them build it if I bring the supplies. In the meantime, We need to christen this ship with the blood of its' former allies - Time to unmoor and raise hell." Nodoka answers, giving a slight sparkle of hope in the holographic eyes of the two AI.
"Very well. Let's set a course for Liberty, and raise hell every step of the way, Captain Hanamura." Pale Bride says to her owner, before being yanked out of her slot.
"You promise?" Honya asks her superior, who stops before completing the disconnection procedure, her hands on the AI Card handle. A hopeful look dominates her face as she looks at Nodoka.
Nodoka looks to her digital compatriot for a second. "Yes. I promise." She then proceeds to remove Honya from her slot, and walk off the Pudica.
