RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Enkidu - 07-20-2014
Achille's grin would have caused the Alexandria Lighthouse to find a new hobby.
"Robert. Your subtly is liminal, your ineptitude is staggering. One does not merely insult an acquaintance upon base visitation, besides, Roberto…" Remarked the raconteur, deftly downing the innards of his straw. "…You know not when to be stylistically magnanimous. The lady has merely announced her profession for the pundits of the bar - she is clearly an agent of the intelligentsia, not that you would bear any workable appreciation for such a party, of course." The Burgundian sighed, not so much breathing, but bequeathing air through his nostrils, winding wind through the trimmed cultivations of his nose hairs.
"A lack of perceptive acumen? So be it. Even the blind can bear a wise man's mind, my comrade." Achille grinned, settling comfortably into the arms of the jape; the role of the jester.

Robert schemed a warmth that shed upon his face as he listened to Susan's retort. In the deepest cavities of his mind, untold plots ,absent of any courteous habiliment and embroidered by a political vulgarity only the most lecherous and power-lusty maniacs would find exhilaration from, have erected.
" The Dearest Susan, the intrigues I want to excogitate profusely with you are simple in nature, and expectation yet hard in labour and execution. I shall digress no further and tell you directly that I seek the downfall of the Zonerdom, the political and economical decline of our esteemed "Allies" and our sovereign to replace their passive, pitiful and slobbery influence that is nothing but a conglomeration of decentralized cesspools driven by childish pretentiousness. "
A pause was instilled in his speech as his sparring partner, his counterpoint to his permanent verbiage has deceased from his silence and interrupted the conversation.
" Achille... " He calmly exhaled with a whimsical grin. " ... How much I adore you knowing that with you around, my mind is bound to have itself in tip top condition. Your witless sardonicism is my own personal and intimate lubricant and I never hesitate to embalm my body with it. Never a dull moment with you. "
He then turned back to Susan, assuming the serious countenance needed to treat such a subject with.
" The Raven... A magnificent and Machiavellian bird, cheri... It always fattens on the suffering of others. We have a lot to learn from it, wouldn't you think? Therefore, an update on the current zoner political climate would be ideal. All minor zoner organizations should have their possessions incorporated inside the Commonwealth one way or another through diplomatic persuasion while the Major ones will be subjected to destabilization. A propaganda program might be... something that will devious and profitable in the long run which will assure us an influx of manpower while it will also discourage other zoners from entering the bowels of our... "Allies".
Therefore, I inquire the two of you, my colleagues, are you willing to assist me on this endeavour? On this... petit and innocent project? "

The dome's usually silent emergency broadcast audio system activates with the sound of static permeating the air. A tobotic female voice is heard barely uttering the words:
~ Commencing transmission ~
~ Signal strength at 100 % ~
After a few seconds of silence and then a deafening screech , an unfamiliar voice blares out of the unfortunate sound equipment.
I'm glad I've finally gotten this old communications equipment running. Alright then, down to business as usual! I'm broadcasting this message through the station's closed audio system from the comfort of my quarters in the lower engineering section in order to thank and congratulate all the engineers and technicians who were so kind as to procure me all the equipment I requested of them since the commencement of my exploratory trip to Liberty's external systems.
After so many unfortunately hostile encounters with Outcasts, Xenos, Liberty Rogues and so on it's good to see that something did unfold as planned. I returned to find my room unsurprisingly messy and cluttered with various dated gadgets and other technologically outdated items such as the ancient keyboard and power coupling you shall see in the displayed photograph.
The dome's sky becomes black and is suddenly replaced by the following photograph.
![[Image: n1cilh.jpg]](http://i60.tinypic.com/n1cilh.jpg)
The engineers in this section of the station were more than glad to let me look through all the "garbage", as they called it, that had amassed within the local storage areas and so I did not waste a second and procured myself all items I considered of interest. As the ancient saying goes: "One man's garbage, another man's treasure". I shall not share with you the purpose of all this equipment for part of it is painfully obvious and the other fairly not of interest to any of you.
As you can see in the photo currently occupying the sky, my quarters are an absolute mess and even more so lacking in space. Do not let such matters concern you as I prefer my quarters cozy and ever so slightly claustrophobic. What does bother me however is that gracious dark-furred feline you can see on the floor. The little fellow is fairly friendly and from what the engineers tell me he's been wandering this section for about a week. He's only been with me for three days and he just won't leave me alone for even a second. He's well-fed as I and the other locals have been feeding him on a regular basis and he seems pretty contempt with his current condition. There is something fairly strange with this fine member of the feline family, however. There is an item I found in the storage room that unnerves him whenever I go near it, a slobbery gag-ball I found on the floor behind some collapsed storage crates.
Should the owner of this beautiful animal hear this transmission, please contact me at once. Again, a warm "thank you" to all those who have tirelessly worked to ensure I receive all the equipment and items I requested.
CW|Ghost out.
The sky returns to its regular shade of clear-sky blue and the robotic voice is heard once more.
~ Transmission end ~
The sound of static is briefly heard once more before the abused speakers finally go silent.

Achille gently de-ices his muscle tension, falling into his typical laconic blob on the chair as ringing died from his head.
“…Well. Apparently Josephine has finally pushed out a litter, Roberto.” The Burgundian grinned, staring at the digitalised skies. “...Now who’s the lucky father?”

The woman lets out a breath, shaking her head. "For some reason, i'm not very surprised. Listen close then, there are two standards that I live by right now." Raising a single finger. "First and foremost. The young girl running around out there, she is the only reason I find myself bound to continue living." Raising a second finger. "Second. I quite frankly, could care less what happens around Sirius, as long as it doesn't break the peace that I enjoy."
Pausing, crossing her arms. "Despite this, I do admit that life does get rather boring when I'm not in front of an ion collider, or working on some other project to keep me busy. Merely walking around and living isn't necessarily living. A project of wide.. proportions which you're asking me to take part in?" Pausing, a slight smirk forming. "I could easily see that as something to keep me entertained. The contact outside this madhouse may prove beneficial anyways."

An older man, presumably somewhere between the 45th and 50th year of his life, entered the biodome in a calm state. He glanced around and silently inspected the varieties of objects that can be seen. Hands in his pockets, Richard moved forward and searched for a place to sit that isn't too visible.
When he finally found one, he sat down and started to watch the persons walking around the dome with a cold, but somehow intrigued look and waited for Monsieur d'Autoine. He brought a bottle of New Paris wine from the crate on his ship, incase he wants to taste it. Maybe that increases my chances. In any case, I am rather confident about this. His lips form a slight smile, and his gaze searched for Robert in hopes he would show up today.

Ryka enters the Dome, having arrived on the freeport to meet the people of the Commonwealth. Wearing a nice dress and jacket, she wanted to look her best for meeting the new people. Of course, being a Wyrdmake, naturally she has a weapon to protect herself.
"Wow, look at all the stuff in this place. i wonder how they fit all this in?" She starts wandering through the nearest forest, because it reminds her of all the time at the Aett back on GC.
"Hello, anybody here? or are you all at the nearest bar?"
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 08-11-2014
A woman wearing baggy pants, and what seems to be a black sweatshirt approaches the newcomer. Her hair running down almost to her thighs, with a braid running down her right shoulder, her hands in her pockets.
Tilting her head slightly at the newcomer. "Well you sure don't seem to be a standard tourist. Looking for something in particular? Most of the rowdy people are up at the bar yeah, although quite frankly i'm not too sure if that's what you 'want' to be looking for. Then again, the two will sneak up on you anyways, so I guess it doesn't really matter."
Finishing her approach, letting out a quiet yawn. "Sorry for being a little vague, I didn't realize how that sounded." Pulling a hand out of her pocket. "The name is Tara Snow. So what brings you around these parts? Merely staying the night before heading back in space? Or something in particular. They do make good subs I suppose. Dunno how organic it is, but I grab one once per day honestly."
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Sabru - 08-11-2014
Ryka turns to look at the girl who walked up and smiles at her."I'm Ryka, Ryka Wyrdmake. I just joined the Commonwealth. This is certainly an interesting place. It reminds me of home."
Ryka reaches out and touches the nearest tree. "So when would i be able to meet the rest of the group?"
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 08-11-2014
Tara pauses for a moment studying the newcomers appearance for a moment. "So you joined up with the Commonwealth, hmm? You're sorta cute, a shame i'm not Jessica. The dome itself is a really nice place I admit, especially the quieter areas. Not really a big fan of people, although sadly that's slowly being forcibly changed by this place."
"I'll be honest with you. You don't meet the group, the group meets you. There is no real distinguishing between who is a member and who isn't. Except for Robert and Achillie of course. They'll find you, believe me.. I regret it every second when they find 'me'."
Mumbling something quietly with a sigh.
