Subject: Tssk

You know,

When you deliberately track me down, make demands beyond your capability, and then have the audacity to attack my friends, you aren't setting a very good example for your organization. Your attempt failed. One of you escaped. The others weren't so lucky. Don't ever try that again.

LOG DATA

Whatever 'business' I might've had with you people? There's likely a reason it was put on hold. However, you certainly are lacking any common courtesy to remind me of it. Instead, your pathetic excuse of an assassination attempt was shot down. Literally. So, remind me again why I should take you people seriously? Because at this point, I don't see any reason to. Unless of course, you're willing to talk and not waste my time, as I am in the business of getting results, not passive aggressively stepping around an issue with useless rhetoric.

So, enlighten me.

Well, well. If it isn't Mr Hunt. Mind if I call you Joshua?

I honestly didn't expect you wanted us to respond in a message titled "Tssk." which was mainly bragging about how two heavy capital warships heroically managed to survive an encounter with two LH operatives and an unreliable kamikazi-fanatic-torpedoman. You know that our pilots' skills are legendary but we are still bound by physical limitations in this world which we cannot overcome, such as the shield regeneration of your battleship and our snubcraft's powercore. So, Joshua, on behalf of the Lane Hackers I would like to apologize for not reaching your expectations.

So I sit down and tried to find what exactly you were asking with this message, if it wasn't just for bragging. I started reading your message over and over again since you are explicitly asking us to "enlighten" you. I even run it through a computer program in case it was ciphered. The result was nothing. Zero.

The only logical question which I could distinguish from this masterpiece of a message you sent us is this:

So, hilariously enough, you are asking us to tell you what to do and expect us to answer seriously? What can I say, you have won the neuralnet, Joshua.

That's everything I can say at this point. If you can send a more intelligible message perhaps we can discuss some issues which may concern you. For your information, you are still flagged by Mr. Yoshida as a VIP contact despite your accidental "cheapshot" BS Razors you were firing to the LH operatives while they were talking to you and your leader. I don't know why, and neither I care, but that means you are safe from harm unlike the rest of your Autixesia Forces.

PS. If you seek true enlightenment, cardamine is what you need,

Subject: Incompetence

Wolfgang,

For an organization such as yours to be unable to defeat a pair of warships lacking fighter escort with a wing of bombers, it certainly speaks well for those 'legendary pilot skills' you're boasting about. Though, you're right about the Rogues being unreliable. Why bother associating with them if their incompetence leaves you high and dry in a fight you can't hope to win? Surely in your Professorship's brilliance, you realized that surrounding ones self with incompetence leads to failure. I honestly expected more from you.

For the record, if you shoot at my people, my friends, and expect me not to react accordingly, then you're not as smart as you claim to be. You drew me out, just to shove me off. You wasted resources that could've been better spent elsewhere. I was under the impression your organization had half a brain, or at least a modicum of civility under their belts, regardless of the illusive behavior shown by your operatives in the field. It's saddening that such skillful people can be so... Dull. Stop wasting your time, and most importantly...

Don't.

Ever.

Waste.

Mine.

Now if you're done, you can 'discuss' what you wanted to with my leader and myself on this network. The way I see it, fighting only leads to wasted time, and there's certainly more benefits to be had if we weren't wasting energy shooting one another.

Lastly, Cardamine isn't an option. Purge it from your system and turn to a better alternative, rather then selling your body to the Maltese for no benefits.

Hello Joshua.

I see you made improvements in your text and I really thank you for that. No more deciphering and pondering for me of what you mean or seek.

I will be honest with you and I hope you will respect that. I was speaking with Admiral Golanski regarding your case. He specifically used the word 'narcissistic' about you and based on those egocentric messages of yours I think he is right. So I am confident that you understand why I am not going to answer most of your words and instead focus on the main subject of this message. Especially this comment about our wise Professorship lacked style and etiquette.

According to public statements your Battlegroup's primary goal was to combat the alien threat. That was also the case with the organization you used to lead before the merge, the Aegis Initiative. So what are you doing in Liberty? Have you decided that attacking Rogues is a more productive thing to do according to your self-admitted precious time? This is what was asked to your leader and she refused to answer.

This message will be automatically deleted after it is read.

PS. Cardamine provides no benefits? I hope you are not serious,
Wolfgang Weisen

Wolfgang,

I've seen the transcripts of the conversation, and not once were they asked what their business back in Liberty was. Frankly, it wasn't any of your concern to begin with. The fact that you're so eager to take a megalomaniac like Golanski's word for any worth proves to me your inability to understand even the most basic of social concepts.

Our business here is our own, and if a few degenerates get swatted in the way, so be it. Do not get in our way, and we'll stay out of yours. Unless you have something of worth, or wish to push further for conflict, then by all means - waste more time.

Hello again Joshua.

I've been hearing that Auxesian forces heroically managed to corner and destroy one armorless dromedary belonging to one of our Initiates. And the next day your forces were chasing a Stargazer used by our recruits, though not successfully.

But let's put aside those astounding victories of your men for a moment. You have said in your very last response that you "do not want to push for conflict". So what should we expect of you, Mr Hunt? Does your word meaning something or should people consider your word as respected and trustworthy as, let's say... Hellfire Legion's?

Actions speak louder than words and for a man who is repeatedly concerned about wasting time, you have so far wasted ours. I would like to bring a resolution to this one way or another. Let's organize a meeting in Kansas system. Your lover, Ms Raven, will also attend us because I don't want any misunderstandings or your leader invalidating the deal you might strike on their behalf.

This meeting is also the perfect opportunity for me to reveal some concerning information which you are probably not aware of. Believe me when I say that I had to be very convincing to my superiors in order to be allowed to reveal such intel. If your fight against the alien threat is true and genuine you should definitely be interested to know.

MESSAGE

Mister Weisen,

I wish to inform you that Keeper Raven is no longer with us, and that the title of Keeper has been passed on to myself. Upon review of your request for a meeting, I believe you'll be delighted to know that one can be organized at the earliest convenience. I am curious to see what exactly this intel is. Provide a time which is suitable for yourself, and we'll see about this meeting.

To my dear metalic friend proudly calling itself "Endurance".

Perhaps you are not aware of the Lane Hackers' disposition towards lifeless objects like itself, so allow me to explain in simple words.

We - do - not - socialize - with - Artificial - Intelligence.

Inferior intelligence forms such as the AIs are only useful when it serves its masters, namely the human race. In all other cases, such as important diplomatic talks, they are to deactive themselves and let the master race do the talking.

Even worse, why it has been allowed to lead an entire organization, albeit small, is beyond me. But please, I really don't want to sound judgemental or imply that a toaster was preferred to lead Auxesia than Mr Hunt. There is definitely something I am missing and explains why it was not a simple skill comparison when Ms Raven made this choice.

In any case the Lane Hackers will patiently wait for Keeper Raven's return. I think it's the best compromise in our ongoing talks, yes?

How quaint.

You're under the assumption that I am a machine. An Artificial Intelligence. Truly amusing, but so far from the truth. I am but a person in a helmet, which is more than you'd need to know. I was put in this position due to experience, having the necessary skill set and the trust of the former Keeper. Interesting that such was your first assumption. It's an almost xenophobic reaction to a sentient computer program. Is it fear that something exists beyond your technological capabilities or a lack of understanding as to why they came to be?

No matter.

Keeper Raven will not be returning any time soon. Unfortunately for you, you're dealing with me now. Organize the meeting date and I will be present. Otherwise, see you in a few years, mister Weisen.
