As much as I can try Espinosa, the fact that I'm the representative of the Intelligence and Scientific department of the Buro der Marineintelligenz, doesn't mean the entire people of the Republic of Rheinland. As much as I could appreciate that type of view, theres only so much that I can represent and push for relations concerning the Maltese since I do not have a seat within the Rheinland Bundestag. So if one wishes to further relations between the Federal Republic of Rheinland, then unfortunately you'll need to speak or contact one of their representatives. (Or better yet, contact a few of the Corporations.)
As much as asking about the secure nature of the Fighter under the use of the Commune, I'm just doing my job.
As much as I love technology, this is like covering a chocolate cake in warm gooey chocolate sauce and whipped cream. But since this is quite a project, I guess this does allow me to gain access to certain resources that this state and even the Buro might consider restricted within practice. Because I'd rather not mutilate what left I have that's organic of my eye sockets. I've suffered enough electrical burns in my life.
Slight problem has come up, Old companion came back from the grave and i never hoped he did.
You know the guy, Joshua Hunt, met you first time while i was working (regretfully) along side him? Its not going that smoothly anymore, and he's apparently out to... Slice my head, or something. Apparently I'm holding the intel of his weapons that hes working on. And trust me, you don't want this weapon, nor would you probably like it being used too.
You remember the story of Prometheus, stealing fire from the gods? Hes got a weaponized singularity device stolen from the Nomads, scaled up with the ability to create tearing holes within the fabric of space; Its codename is "Dawnbreaker". First of all, its my intention to stop that thing from being used before we all start sucking the pressure of a black hole. And guess who hes planning to use it against. Yeah... No... Not happening, I still owe them a few favors before I clear off the pane of space.
As much as I've heard, Intel came across that even my Boss is in on it. i still have a few projects to finish off before i hang my coat and get out but unfortunately i displayed my distaste in front of him about the use of the weapon for the Buro and I might be in a pickle, you got any air tight property on sale planetside of Malta?
[22.02.2016 01:28:36] Lelantos-1: ?: So.
[22.02.2016 01:28:55] Lelantos-1: ?: Zeal or Geoff? [22.02.2016 01:29:50] "The-Zealous": *Rustling of fabric is heard, while some quiet voices are muttering in the background, they too seem muffled.*
[22.02.2016 01:31:18] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Its... 2am, The feeling of... Sleep, is quite enjoyable. I'm starting to regret a Neural communicator. [22.02.2016 01:31:49] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Well then. Goodmorning, Geoff.
[22.02.2016 01:32:52] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I had a talk with Koch the other night, he's a little irritated at you. [22.02.2016 01:33:08] "The-Zealous": Geoff: -No... Just get some more rest-. You need to leave us alone, leave our work alone. [22.02.2016 01:33:20] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'm not after your work.
[22.02.2016 01:33:26] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'm trying to make peace, here.
[22.02.2016 01:33:40] Lelantos-1: Hunt: You're making a lot of people unhappy. [22.02.2016 01:33:44] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Peace, is what i've been chasing, making deals... Doing extra work.
[22.02.2016 01:34:09] "The-Zealous": Geoff: All to repair things that have been broken in the past by... Previous work partners.
[22.02.2016 01:34:36] "The-Zealous": Geoff: And, its nice to just get back to a... Semi-normal... Agency life. [22.02.2016 01:34:48] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Well, you must be delusional. All that supposed damage was resolved... Twenty hours ago, now.
[22.02.2016 01:35:44] Lelantos-1: Hunt: You know, I've got a fleet now. It's quite a sight. It's a shame you're so concerned about normality over survival. [22.02.2016 01:36:03] "The-Zealous": Geoff: For you, not for me. *A flip switch is heard, and some bare footsteps across tiles* I've survived over diplomacy.
[22.02.2016 01:36:49] "The-Zealous": Geoff: *A tap squeak is heard, with running water following* Listen... Talking got me somewhere instead of guns.
[22.02.2016 01:37:14] "The-Zealous": Geoff: *A Tap squeak is heard, running water follows.* I managed to repair things without a fleet. [22.02.2016 01:37:31] Lelantos-1: Hunt: So did I.
[22.02.2016 01:37:55] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I just said a few words to Fieldson, and I've been removed from a blacklist that one of my vessels placed us on.
[22.02.2016 01:38:11] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Diplomacy is something I'm very familiar with.
[22.02.2016 01:39:09] Lelantos-1: Hunt: You know, I still consider you a friend.
[22.02.2016 01:39:23] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'd take a damn bullet for you, man. Hell, I took one a few months ago. [22.02.2016 01:39:50] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I've taken several. Got replacement spines and eyes recently. Nothing new.
[22.02.2016 01:40:00] "The-Zealous": Geoff: More machine than ever... [22.02.2016 01:40:09] Lelantos-1: ?: I've gotten my entire lower body reconstructed. Bionic implants.
[22.02.2016 01:40:13] Lelantos-1: ?: My legs vaporized.
[22.02.2016 01:40:55] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I was in a coma for seven months, you know. [22.02.2016 01:41:21] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Ventured into the clouds did you? I tend not to go there if I'm un-invited. [22.02.2016 01:41:31] Lelantos-1: Hunt: No. Pierce blew up my Liner.
[22.02.2016 01:41:41] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Well... [22.02.2016 01:41:46] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I was in Iota the other day with Raven. They've stepped up their defenses. [22.02.2016 01:41:59] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I would if thats my home.
[22.02.2016 01:42:05] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Can't say i already am. [22.02.2016 01:42:16] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Raven and I managed to procure some weaponry.
[22.02.2016 01:42:33] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Today we openly engaged a wing of Nomads in Delta. Fight's still going on, actually. Just ended.
[22.02.2016 01:42:36] Lelantos-1: Hunt: We won.
[22.02.2016 01:42:40] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Secured a power cell. [22.02.2016 01:42:58] "The-Zealous": Geoff: See it in their voices. They know a brewing conflict is coming. *A blade is heard cutting hairs* [22.02.2016 01:43:41] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Not only that, but the Solar Runners, Miss Harper and them, have decided to join us. [22.02.2016 01:43:55] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Good lord... Raising an army... [22.02.2016 01:44:16] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Fighting back against the species that'll kill us all. [22.02.2016 01:44:37] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I would... Although i wouldn't kill them all. [22.02.2016 01:44:46] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'm not interested in killing them all.
[22.02.2016 01:44:52] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'm interested in winning.
[22.02.2016 01:44:59] Lelantos-1: Hunt: If it leads to that, so be it.
[22.02.2016 01:45:04] Lelantos-1: Hunt: And in the end... [22.02.2016 01:45:06] "The-Zealous": Geoff: That would include killing myself. And you, and the entirety of sirius. [22.02.2016 01:45:16] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'll plunge the Dawnbreaker into a Neutron Star.
[22.02.2016 01:46:43] Lelantos-1: Hunt: On top of that, we're going to return a design we stole off of Rheinland to Koch. [22.02.2016 01:46:57] "The-Zealous": Geoff: What design? [22.02.2016 01:47:37] Lelantos-1: Hunt: The Armoured Mobile Unit, infantry support vehicle based off of the Wraith chasis. [22.02.2016 01:48:27] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Not the person you should be telling this to. *Water is heard splashing around with some plastic tapping* [22.02.2016 01:48:53] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Considering I'm giving them to your boss. [22.02.2016 01:49:22] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Guess hes going to be angry about my oversight on the security of those files. [22.02.2016 01:49:40] Lelantos-1: Hunt: They never arrived to be accounted.
[22.02.2016 01:49:56] Lelantos-1: Hunt: It's designer is buried on New Berlin. [22.02.2016 01:50:52] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Well, rest in peace. [22.02.2016 01:51:08] Lelantos-1: Hunt: It was that, or Armand sells them to the Hessians. [22.02.2016 01:51:33] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Although why is Koch angry... I've been conducting ground operations around Rheinland until now. [22.02.2016 01:52:06] Lelantos-1: Hunt: One of my operatives spotted your liner passing into Outcast space. James Scott, resourceful guy. Goes by Scotia.
[22.02.2016 01:53:07] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I mentioned that at our meeting the other night, when I showed him the Dawnbreaker. [22.02.2016 01:53:10] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Oh wow, He thinks i'm hitting up my non-existant cardamine addiction. [22.02.2016 01:53:19] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Probably. [22.02.2016 01:54:06] "The-Zealous": Geoff: He should have a file, nano-docs Caladrias should prevent any effects of cardamine changes.
[22.02.2016 01:54:22] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I touch human enhancement, but only my own. [22.02.2016 01:54:30] Lelantos-1: Hunt: He's more so concerned.
[22.02.2016 01:54:44] Lelantos-1: Hunt: He's worried he might lose a brilliant mind.
[22.02.2016 01:54:48] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Frankly, so am I. [22.02.2016 01:55:16] "The-Zealous": Geoff: He shouldn't, a "Brilliant mind" is here for purposes benifiting the Buro and myself.
[22.02.2016 01:55:24] "The-Zealous": Geoff: But for you... No. [22.02.2016 01:55:37] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'm not here to recruit you again.
[22.02.2016 01:55:53] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I've got Goeben, Glass, and an entire applied research division.
[22.02.2016 01:56:19] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Plus sharing knowledge with Raven and Auxesia. We can manufacture Azurite Generators now. [22.02.2016 01:57:18] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Touching things you shouldn't be... [22.02.2016 01:57:24] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Science. [22.02.2016 01:57:24] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Hasn't changed has it?
[22.02.2016 01:57:47] "The-Zealous": Geoff: We all step into the depths of the unknown, although knowing that a certain party doesn't like it.
[22.02.2016 01:57:57] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Well, that might kill us. [22.02.2016 01:57:57] Lelantos-1: Hunt: They did the design, we perfected it.
[22.02.2016 01:58:19] Lelantos-1: Hunt: It's yet to be applied. [22.02.2016 01:59:19] "The-Zealous": Geoff: It's Two-Thirty in the morning... You've got me up for an early server maintenance. [22.02.2016 01:59:33] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Oh, right. Almost forgot. [22.02.2016 01:59:40] "The-Zealous": Geoff: You're lucky i haven't disconnected the communicator yet. [22.02.2016 01:59:54] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I just wanted to let you know that you should probably avoid Maltese space for....
[22.02.2016 01:59:58] Lelantos-1: Hunt: A few months. [22.02.2016 02:00:05] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Why? [22.02.2016 02:00:12] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Safety. [22.02.2016 02:00:27] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I feel safer in Maltese space than most other places. [22.02.2016 02:00:30] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I still give a damn about you, you know.
[22.02.2016 02:00:54] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Well, chances are another Civil war is going to break out. I'd rather you not get caught in the crossfire. [22.02.2016 02:01:52] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I for one can see that a civil war isn't going to break out in the near future. [22.02.2016 02:02:33] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Don't be so surprised if you're wrong. [22.02.2016 02:02:59] "The-Zealous": Geoff: I've made sure that the cross gets the help that they need in the stablility that they control. [22.02.2016 02:03:18] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Stability? More like chaos.
[22.02.2016 02:03:59] Lelantos-1: Hunt: You're openly supporting a nation that favors slavery, and worships the Nomads.
[22.02.2016 02:04:14] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Some people aren't happy with the leadership. [22.02.2016 02:04:36] "The-Zealous": Geoff: No... We're supporting a party that has multiple enemies in the Rheinland sector.
[22.02.2016 02:04:52] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Including the VWA, Corsairs and the Unioners.
[22.02.2016 02:05:14] "The-Zealous": Geoff: We need this security more than ever at this time, if they don't attack our civilians the better. [22.02.2016 02:05:17] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I can support the destruction of the Corsairs. The others, I couldn't care less. [22.02.2016 02:05:52] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Hey, its the boards decision, with my help. Although I can't change this decision for now.
[22.02.2016 02:06:02] "The-Zealous": Geoff: We got our ticket to peace with this group. [22.02.2016 02:06:07] Lelantos-1: Hunt: But please, at least be careful. The Cross don't have their fingers in ever Maltesians pocket. [22.02.2016 02:06:13] "The-Zealous": Geoff: Better than fighting another damn front.
[22.02.2016 02:06:26] "The-Zealous": Geoff: And the Buro doesn't neither. Nor do I.
[22.02.2016 02:06:45] "The-Zealous": Geoff: But on percentage outcomes of who has the most and heavily overall control. [22.02.2016 02:08:51] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Regardless, do be careful. You can't fight nature, Geoff. They can't fight change.
[22.02.2016 02:12:46] Lelantos-1: Hunt: Anyways, I have some coordination to do.
[22.02.2016 02:12:50] Lelantos-1: Hunt: I'll let you go.
To: Enfield From: Inquisitor Erikasaria Espinosa of the 2nd Tarxien Order Subject: RE: Joshua Hunt Encryption: [Absolute]
The other day, while I was aboard the Mgarr near Valetta when you told me of this subject.. I'll admit, I didn't quite believe it.
Now I look back on my N-mail history, find this communique and I'm still at a loss for words. The sheer stupidity of such an individual to attempt such a feat is more than enough to cause me a headache surpassing that of the ones merely speaking to you gives me.
How they managed to turn a gelatinous mass of scorched bio-matter into a usable weapon is far beyond my, or even my engineer's comprehension-- not for lack of trying mind. The only explanation that presents itself within the laws of probability and.. well, physics is a replica of the tech they claim to be re-purposing with significantly less effect and capability, given humanity's utterly disgracefully poor understanding of the Spirit's capabilities.
I'll ensure this individual is flagged and brought in for... let's call it "Invasive Questioning" for a few years before finally putting them out of their lights-forsaken misery. I suppose you're owed some appreciation for your part in bringing this to my attention, but I question the need for specific permission for somewhere to maintain yourself when you've already been granted full clearance to Valetta's merchant sectors.
Oh and, if you do end up parting ways with your so beloved Buro, take a souvenir with you and make it a good one. There's a saying that originates from the... Ramos family I believe?-- it goes something like "Betrayals are best when they're more than just vanishing. Make sure they know, and they know well exactly how much they pissed you off."
Like I said, well done bringing this up. Said individual will find it much harder to sleep easily for the rest of their life.
