RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - Chenzo- - 06-10-2023

As Harabero speaks, Chenzo finds himself met with humour, perhaps he was trying to be funny? The very moment Harabero finishes talking, he bursts out in uncontrollable laughter. As he starts to regain control of his breathing, he begins to speak.

"Senor, that did indeed tickle me. Corsairs taking Cardimine, now that would be something."

Once he fully regains his breath, he speaks as a tear rolls down his face. The tear glistens and was of a viscosity much thicker than normal, quickly wiped away to avoid questions

"Well, it would appear you are serious on that, please understand my humour is based on my thoughts that any Corsair ever found to be involved with Cardimine would probably meet a most gruesome death by their own people. But that does also show just how committed you are to this, that much I can respect. I certainly wouldn't welcome any"

He pauses, as if to recall exactly what was said by Harabero just moments before

"Well, I think it's safe to say that Rheinland is a much more difficult prospect and I understand that if my endeavours are indeed to fall over, then my tracks are to be well covered, and any difficulties I'm to face alone. Moving on, there are two more things from my side directly. I wish to know your thoughts and feelings on Sante Verne? I did ask before, but I feel unless you have something more prominent, this is what I'd like to discuss next. "

As per usual, he calmly sits and awaits a response



RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - BobMacaroni - 06-15-2023



Despite the overstatement, there was still some merit. But for a second, Harabero looked questionably at Chenzo. He was Maltese, of course, but seemed... different. There was still the issue that he remained off of the radar for many years.

That might be for later though.

Did you not realize that was an overstatement to hammer the point? Regardless, there is still one thing. We do want the Corsairs to face internal turmoil due to it, do we not? It is a far fetched dream that I doubt will happen, if ever. But you do realize the point I am trying to get at, certainly?

Nevermind. Yes, I would say that we should move onto Santa Verna. Why do you ask of it, anyways? Due to the location next to the rift, with the presumably Nomad vessels spotted near it?


Harabero had a feeling this could go south. Chenzo seemed... very fascinated with the Nomads. Perhaps too much so. He had been warned previously of threats against another Outcast made by him over a Nomads demise. And after being... somewhere for years off of the radar. Needless to say there were a few answers he would like to get.





RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - Chenzo- - 06-17-2023

The tone had once again changed, but Chenzo did not fear. Harabero had indeed proven himself to be a mark above the normal Outcast in wit. Listening intently, Chenzo sat with his hands together in a pistol grip pointed up toward his own nose, his chin resting on his thumbs which would make up the firing pin if it were a revolver. A clear misunderstanding had occurred. He calmly sits back, relaxed & smiles gently before speaking

Senor, of course I understood what you said to hammer a point home, I’ve exaggerated like this myself multiple times during our conversation but you’ll have to forgive that I found the notion so hilarious. If you can get Corsairs to take Cardimine then, I’ll give you whatever you want. Personally, I’d not like to ever see them with their filthy cannibalistic mits on it, unless of course it’s enough dosage for a pure addiction & then a total withdrawal”.

A disgusting grin flourishes across his face, he truly hates Corsairs.

”Sante Verne…he pauses, looks up briefly as if for guidanceI am seeking to vastly increase the war machine which exists at our hands. Also, vastly increase our waste recycling abilities & much more. What I’ve been working on for many years now is a series of machines which convert otherwise wasted materials & substances into usable alloys & fuels. The next series of machines are capable of assembling warships of all sizes & of course the the issue I now face is a question of resource. If you can allow me full control of Sante Verne & allow its total renovation then I’d save at least eight Ranseur class dreadnoughts worth of components and alloys. As for the inhabitants, spirit worshippers… he scoffsthe morons, I’d of course make accommodation for them elsewhere and when the project would finally draw to an end, they can be made an entire floor from which to ‘worship’ if they do please. Of course, your personal overview of the project is welcomed,
What do you think?”


A strange curveball had been thrown toward Harabero, Chenzo wasn’t sure of how it’d be taken but any explanation required would be done so in full



RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - BobMacaroni - 06-22-2023



Hold on, you are asking me to give full control of Santa Verna?

Harabero wasn't sure how to take it. Not that he could, if he wanted to. That was... beyond his capabilities. They had little presence there, and besides, he didn't have the jurisdiction to do something like that if he wanted. He wiped away his incredulous look and shook his head.

You ask of things beyond me. I have the will of several Dons and cartels, but this is... too much. That would be a decision by the council of Dons, as it is an entire station - to grant full authority would be out of my range. I simply could not have the authority to do so even if I so desired.

Besides, our presence there isn't exactly large either. Santa Verna is an odd station in an odd area. There was no reason for us to have a major presence there, and it is mostly run by... those "spirit worshippers" as you said.





RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - Chenzo- - 06-27-2023

Chenzo becomes confused as Harabero speaks, was he not the number one man in charge of the only warring Maltese cartel? The news alone came welcomed even though not directly what he wished for.

"You are a confusing man, senor. Whilst the 101st of old were here, the council of dons existed to oversee political affairs and matters which in all fairness, rather boring.

That said, my seat was... rarely filled during meetings as I was too busy killing corsairs or expanding the orange dream.

Alas, not important. You don't seem personally apposed and as you've stated previously, I am indeed the closest thing to a Spirit advocate so I doubt I'll see any resistance. You not having a personal interest in the site is most interesting, though
"

he resumes a more slouched position before continuing.

"Tell me, senor...Have you anyone within your ranks I can speak with about research into Cardimine itself? I hold the belief that we have not tapped even a tenth of it's potential. Merely trivial at this stage, but I am curious?

There is one last thing I'd like to ask about after, but I'd like to know more about your areas of research, or rather if not personally involved, anyone you are connected with who may be of assistance or even a lead in if they are already on the path of discovery?
"

He reaches into his jacket as his question ends and takes another sip from the vial of liquid before returning it in no hurry whilst awaiting a response



RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - BobMacaroni - 07-04-2023



Well, that was something.

In fact I do. We have a few within the starfleet with a... particular interest in Cardamine enhancement. While senorita Petra Ferrari is wrapped in her work aboard Corsica, there may still be some willing back on Malta that you might talk to. There have been some "advancements" made while you were gone into Cardamine enhancement.

Harabero grinned.

I would encourage you to get into contact with our Science division. During the moment we have had some readjustments, but there should be someone you can find about that. For now you can talk to me. Afterward? I am sure there are some more who would like to see what you've come up with.




RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - Chenzo- - 07-29-2023

Another area of common interest, there was clearly much to be gained from this meeting on both sides. So much to work on and only the enhanced time in which Cardimine gives in which to work on it

Well, I’m in strong belief that Cardimine itself as we know it has so much un-tapped potential despite the fact it already yields us many enhancements above the common man, so to speak. I believe there are more abilities it can give us, if only we find the keys to unlock it, make sense?

For the first time in the conversation, Chenzo gets to his feet gently and in an unthreatening way, he begins to pace back and fourth behind his chair as he speaks

I understand that this wasn’t a friendly subject to begin with today, but people of my time very much revered the Spi-he coughsNomads, it was one of the ways we were able to gain such massive leaps forward in technology, by having no hostilities, I mean.

One must admit, I'd never have made such advancements on the INFERNO or DEFILER projects without their help. Sometimes an idea placed in ones head is enough to spur a train of thought to new discoveries, no?


He was sure Harabero wouldn’t take to this line of wording in a good way, however Chenzo was sure he'd understand that was the way things were done in the past. He sits back down before continuing to talk

"I won't mention the Nomads again senor, it was figurative speech mostly, but I hope you get my point. My most recent area of interest with development or enhancement of Cardimine has been focussed on and old administrator of the 101st, senor Jameson. A name I don't believe you'll know or care for, however some of his work was based around making the effects of Cardimine more intense whilst reducing our dependency of frequent inhalation.

The results thus far have meant I haven't eaten any physical food or inhaled any Cardimine that isn't flowing through ventilation systems on stations or Malta's air itself in over ten years. I'm not of Maltese origin directly, yet if you were to have a sample of my blood you'd find mutations very much present of what you'd expect to be of 14th generation pure Outcast.
"

He pauses, points to his left arm with his right hand gently before continuing.

"I'm sure your men and women may have more of an idea from a sample I'd happily provide.**retiring to a more relaxed position, as he talks** Being entirely honest, it always helps to have an outside mind look in, it stirs more ideas and possibilities. Have you had any insight to this line of enhacement?"


RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - BobMacaroni - 08-05-2023



You realize the people and advancements of your time I was alive for? Most of my friends and soon myself are over a century old.

Harabero chuckled. Maltese aging was truly something... interesting. He pitied some of the more "amicable" (in his mind) sirians, who would never live even that time, even naturally.

Although, I don't find myself all there with your thoughts of... reducing the rate of Cardamine and Malta's air we require. It is a boon, is it not?

The dons brows furrowed. The Orange Blessing had contributed so much to the capability of Malta's raiders, engineering, all of it. To even desire to part from it was unthinkable.

To reduce the frequency of Cardamine inhalation and to reduce how much we need to process into our veins, would that not also reduce the combat abilities and advantages we possess over the Sirians?

It is a dangerous game to play. Although, I can't say we haven't... tampered with it a slight amount. While most of the data isn't for, ah, "open knowledge" there are archives on what seems to be particular subjects of interest on past and present projects in the databanks. Although, of course, that would be for later. Perhaps we might have you visit Petra Ferrari and the work done on Albegna sometime? If you truly do have associates which might have a particular interest in such things...







RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - Chenzo- - 08-13-2023

Chenzo had sparked more questions than he thought he was trying to provoke, this was good. The all too familiar smile spreads across his face


"Senor, I speak of efficiency. To obtain the same or greater level of the effects of Cardimine but to need to consume less and with less frequency for Maltese and allies would indeed be more beneficial, si?

The same thing could also be used in reverse to require customer bases to need more and more to see their desired effects?

Also, there are other avenues of this same line of research which could hold keys to further enhancement abilities. I would very much like to meet with this... Senorita Ferrari you speak of to go about this. On your terms, of course.

Might I re-cap with you, what we have discussed so far"
?

For the first time in their conversation, Chenzo turns to technology to briefly list topics of discussion so far. He makes a hand gesture and a projection form the roof to a wall beside their seats appears, on which an exact copy of the screen of his PDA. As Chenzo taps away, the numbered bullet points line up with brief areas of discussion listed

1. You are to arrange a meeting with "De Marco" and other figure heads to may be of use within Bretonia
- Time and date to be set by Haraberro, suggested location Comercio Fantasma.
- Off the back of this to then take action to smite those who went against a deal.
- Chenzo to bring all plans forward for this meeting regarding the direction to take in Bretonia.

2. Harabero advised no direct effort is being made within Rheinland, Chenzo to see what he can do and in which direction. Chenzo is alone from this and to move without making much noise, no backup to be provided and worst case, nothing had, nothing lost.

3.We disagree on Nomads;
-HS> will continue to try to not start anything, but if attacked then fair game to annihilate.
-Have not entirely ruled out making Xeno Relics a no touch trade item until situation becomes better

4. Potential combined research opportunities
- Meet to be arranged for Chenzo to meet Senorita Ferrari on Albegna, Combines research may ensue
- Share of ideologies and knowledge.

5. Development
- No hostilities are to take place in any actions of development of stations or Maltese inferstructure, but no direct thoughts or feelings against Chenzo's plans.

"Do these notes require any amendment senor? I do believe we've been here over an hour now? Unless of course you have anything you need me to take note of immediately?"


RE: Club Abyss, Ibiza Station. - BobMacaroni - 08-18-2023



I wouldn't say so.

It had been a long hour. Harabero had talked a lot, and even the comfortable seats were becoming less favorable to standing now.

All he needed was a drink after all that.

I believe that is all then, if you say so. I personally have nothing else to add.
