Well... It's been some time hasn't it log computer? Not to say I haven't enjoyed myself, but this computer is the only thing that listens to me aside of ReLIC. But I've used the time being to... Rethink, I honestly don't know what I'm doing anymore, all I've planned seems to be falling apart around me, people hunting me, and just too many enemies in general... All of this seemed to happen after I MET THAT DAMNED PHANTOM!
But it's not all bad, in taking a break and looking at what's happening, and could happen, I've taken more notice of my "changes" more mental than physical, and the way I interact with people... The way they see me. I'm going to highlight one of these... Changes, it being just my attitude, more... Revealing, of who I am, because, well, I'm not a very stable one. I seem to have adopted some obsession with killing, but I can keep it at bay for now, however, this change has made me rethink who I work for, what I do, and it seems since the CR and Outcast treaty was made, I have no purpose around Sirius but to pirate and pillage, a bad use of my skills if any... But such is life.
All in all, I'm trying to find a new purpose, something to do with myself, some... Well, I don't know yet, do I? I guess it's time for me to get moving, find any organizations that better fit myself, and until then, I must leave you yet again... Until next time, farewell.

Oh deaaaaarrrrry me! It seems I was thwarted by someone not to dis similar to myself, the one and only "Mon'Star".... Not to worry, ReLIC had us put up a decent fight, but I let him win... I'm not in the mood to make more.... Eeeeeenemies. He's not as good as they make him out to be, he's... Ineffective at best. *Growls* But he managed to destroy my ship!! *Thumps console*. It cost me in excess of 700 Thousand credits to re equip and repair this thing.
But as long as the Gods smile upon me, I will NEVER die. Funny I mention this, actually, the Spirit has kept quiet, and good thing too, it was driving meee *twitches* a wee be crazzzzy! *Growls* But nether the less, I was defeated, and I must congratulate that atrocity, however much I want it killed.

Before the fray...
Delexis stood in the command centre of his Apocalypse "Starkiller", the Collateral Damages... Looking at its lifelessness, no crew, just him and ReLIC.... This was 3 Hours before his first assault mission, he had to hit an enemy fleet, and destroy one of their shipyards. He stood, and asked...
"Why, ReLIC, what's it for?"
The response was delayed by a few seconds, ReLIC was processing Terra bytes of information, mission data, history, etc... And it finally answered,
"Why what? Why this war? Why the senseless violence, Commander?"
Delexis turned to the viewing screen, looking directly out the Moor of the shipyard...
"Exactly that... What is it for?"
"Commander, you realize if they know you're having such thoughts..."
Delexis stopped ReLIC, knowing what is was going to say...
"Yes... I know."
And he left it at that, they never spoke until their mission was given the go-ahead...
3 Hours later, as they commenced mission "Maiden Voyage", it was to be Delexis' first mission, and the first combat exercise of the Collateral Damages... Delexis sat in his chair, and asked another question, this time more relevant to the mission...
"This ship's a bit big for this, yes?"
ReLIC Replied instantly...
"Well, if High Command thinks it necessary, Commander..."
Delexis sat, waiting a moment before replying...
"Very well, we should trust their judgment, yes? Don't answer that, release the docking clamps, bring the engine up to full power..."
The engines hummed lightly, and several jolts were felt as the clamps released, it was all going smoothly...
"We're away from the base, Commander"
Delexis looked at his maps, thinking if the best approach to the Shipyard.
"Hmm.... Initiate rupture, bring us out... Right there..."
ReLIC replied, almost certain that he made the best tactical decision...
"Excellent choice, Commander, what's our attack plan?"
Delexis held his hand under his long, lizard like jaw... Thinking of how they would hit the base, the Cannon or jump into the middle of the shipyard, and destroy it from the inside...
"Bring us out of their sensor range, we'll see them before they see us, and bring the "Big Bang" up, I want to test it out..."
ReLIC replied, sounding confused...
"Big... Bag, Commander? I do not understand..."
Delexis got impatient.
"The main gun! Bring it up to operational! I want to test it on the shipyard!"
Minutes later they came out, just outside sensor range, but well inside the "Big Bang"'s range, and he only gave one order...
"Do it."

... The Starkiller's Cannon charged, the energy reading were detected by the shipyard, so they immediately scrambled their fighters and bombers, plus any local cruisers, of course, they weren't quick enough, the last message ever received from that base was: "This is ***** Shipyard, we're under assault by a single Imperial ship, some kind of Pla--" *Large explosion and then static*.
Delexis stood on the command deck, looking out at the base falling apart around itself, and the explosive shockwave from the Cannon, ripping apart anything and everything in its way...
"ReLIC, job well done, and we did it in one... Clean... Str-- Sunnuva!"
As he was speaking, a large piece of the stations hull smashed into the port side of the ship, putting a massive hole in the sensors array, and exposing a large section of the ship's interior, the force of the impact also caused a rupture in the coolant tank, and the reactor was about to go into melt-down.
"Commander! Hull breach, port side, I've sealed what I could, but it seems pretty shot up... On top of this, sensors are picking up a Federal Destroyer class vessel, followed by a bomber group, orders?"
Delexis stood back up, rubbing his neck...
"Get us out of here, we need to jump back to Crucis!"
The ship lurched forward as the engines powered up, and a large section of the port pulled away...
"What... Was... That?"
ReLIC's reply was delayed a few seconds...
"Torpedo impact, Commander..."
But they hit too late, and the ship was already jumping, the Rupture closed behind them, sucking in a damaged fighter with it...
The Collateral Damages came out of jump, around 25K from the Crucis Research post, his ship's current "Home", they coaxed it forward, and hoped no one managed to follow...

About 3 to 4 weeks later, the Collateral Damages was tasked with assisting a planetary invasion, not as part of the main fleet of course, but more of a distraction, it would approach from the opposite direction of the Fleet, power up its main gun, but never fire, the Federals would send a large portion of their ships to "Deal with it" and the Fleet would make their move... However, Delexis had an ulterior motive.
Over the vast amounts of radio chatter, ReLIC isolated one signal, from High Command:
"Alright X, you know what to do, get on it."
Delexis sat back in his chair, he didn't reply, he thought... Oh, I'll get on it... I'll get on all of it...
"ReLIC, it's time to commence our own little... "Operation". First objective, batter this fleet, we'll give the Federals some time to stew in their own fear. Second, high-tail it out of here, we need to get as far away from Colony space as possible, out to the Edge. Third.... Well, that's for us to decide, isn't it?"
ReLIC Hesitated...
"Commander! You know what this means!?"
Delexis ignored it, and looked out the viewing screen...
"Bring us in."
The Collateral Damages lurched forward as the engine went to full impulse, from the Flagship of the Invasion fleet, all they saw was the planet, Delexis didn't respond so they had to assume he'd been found out, so they commenced the invasion...
About half way through the landing processes, a large ship buzzed in front of them all, it was the Collateral Damages, and its guns were trained on the fleet, however this ended, it wouldn't end well for them. Delexis gave the order.
"Rip them to bits, no survivors, let the soldiers planet side deal with the rest"
The Damages' guns lit up like a Christmas Tree, all of the anti-shipping guns were trained on the capitals, and the point-defense were tracking the hundreds of fighters and bombers, buzzing around like insects, in a matter of minutes, the majority of these fighters were destroyed, the Flagship was taking crippling fire, and the rest of the fleet was simply helpless, they couldn't fire back and do enough damage, nor could they aid the Flag and get it out of there, they'd been defeated by a single ship.
"ReLIC, we've done enough, they'll retreat, now... Where to next?"
"May I suggest a Renegade system?"
"As long as we're the biggest thing there, get us out of here"
The Collateral Damages disappeared in a flash of blue and purple light, all that was left was the crippled flagship, and the debris field, a reminder of what happened, this, was "Red Friday"...

A few months later, the Collateral Damages had become one of the (if not the) most feared ships throughout Imperial and Federal space, it was rumored throughout the masses that he commandeered the vessel, and it was all a scandal, etc... Of course, all of this wasn't true, he did it because of what he had become, a weapon, a tool, nothing more, nothing less. Luckily for Delexis, the Imperials couldn't kill him, they needed him alive, on the downside, the Federals labeled him a "Crime against nature" and he was to be killed on sight (irony much?).
Delexis had ordered ReLIC to move the Damages to nearby a Nebula, and he would take a Vindicator running Imperial IFF transponders to the surface of the planet Ra'Kii, his home planet, he had some "Loose ends" to tie up before they left once and for all. So, he powered up the Fighter, and took off out the hanger, as he left the Damages, it went into cloak, near invisible to the naked eye, impossible to see in the crystal nebula.
"This is Ra'Kii control to Blue 4, adjust your entry, or you'll burn up..."
Delexis pressed a few buttons on his console.
"Done control, anything else?"
"Uh... Yeah, actually, what's a lone fighter doing out here?"
"...Special business."
"Hrm... Alright, good luck then... With whatever it is you're doing..."
Delexis didn't reply, and continued down towards the surface.
He landed in the Capitol, and looked at the hundreds of buildings, tall and short, dirty streets, police, even a few soldiers on patrol... Then something caught his eye, someone in one of these patrols, an old "Friend", by the name of Kaira, he ducked into a small alcove so he wasn't spotted by her, or the other two soldiers, when it was clear, he climbed a pipe to the top of one of the shorter buildings, and started to trail them along the roofs.
They came to a square and stopped, he looked down on them, I better get this right... he thought, as he timed himself... After a minute or two of watching, he decided to make his move, minimal police traffic, but enough people around for him to prove his point, sadly, he didn't really want to hurt Kaira, but it was his only choice, and chance to make an example of the Imperial's soldiers... He jumped down, charged through the crowd, pulled out his knife, and sliced clean through the throat of the soldier on the left, and before either Kaira or the other could react, he was down too. However, Kaira managed to get her sidearm out, and while holding the arm with his knife, she shot him in the shoulder, of course, with all the adrenaline he didn't feel squat, and after he saw the blood, it just made him angrier, he dropped the knife, and forced his claw into her chest, pushing her down, as he pulled them out. She dropped down onto one knee, and he grabbed the pistol she dropped, she looked up at him, clenching his jaw, with the blood running down his arm, and out of his mouth from a rifle butt to the mouth. She didn't struggle, try to run, or even cower... Just looked at him as he aimed the gun to the space between her eyes...
"Do it."
Then he pulled the trigger, he felt bad for what he did, but shook off the feeling like a feather, and ran for his ship, this time, the defense grid was all over him, so he powered up and went straight for the Damages, never to be seen or heard from again, he got back to the Damages, started a random jump sequence remotely, and followed it with his ship, he abandoned his Starkiller, and exited in Sirius, up to this day, he's been considered "Clinically Insane", and has a strange fixation on Humans as "Little Ones", of course, no one knows what he will ever come to do, or has done... All they can do is watch and hope the worst doesn't come.
