There are a lot of things to say and my mind is just mixed up as hell right now. Actually, I don't know where to start from.. Hell, I don't care anyway..
Do you want to know the pure truth? Are you sure you won't regret hearing them?
Yes, yes.. I knew it..
Unfortunately, I lost most of my men out there. Just a few of us those were lucky to escape the first strike made it alive. Eh.. I guess so..
Anyway, who could guess the Coalition would rage war upon the Brotherhood one day?
Our entire weapon and food depots were confiscated by the Coalition.. In just one day.. Could you believe that? It was so unpredicted to be honest.. This makes me think.. They are probably in dire need of new supplies to back their troops up against a possible Corsair invasion.. Or do they have some other secret plans? My head hurts.. All these stuff making my mind.. Damn it..
---
I'm not sure about either Karl or Bruno. I don't know if they managed to escape. The only thing I learned in the news was that Hugo being lost in the action. Brave boy.. He got killed against impossible odds while trying to defend his brothers. This makes me feel deep agony.. I just wished to be there fighting along with him..
My god.. There is no way to bring these people...
---
I don't remember quite well what happened to me after the vicious strike. The Hackers say that my pod was delivered to their doorstep by a Zoner pilot. Damn.. Forgot the bud's name .. I don't like to chat with these Hackers much..
I have been interrogating my own mind for the entire period after opening my eyes in a cell.. But still.. Eh.. Why would a Zoner bring me to the Hackers anyway? And these Hackers ain't treating me that bad.. Need to find out lots of stuff these days.. This would make you quite uneasy if you were in my position.. Trust me with this one..
---
Surprise.. My reputation sheet was hacked.. Heh.. Surprise? Holy.. They hacked my reputation with the Outcasts so that I will be serving for these filthy drug addicts? Hell no!!..
I need to find a way to get out of this.. Really, I do need to and in short time, I should get rid of this..
---
My old neural net account, thanks to the fruitful days of lane raiding operations, provided me the funds to purchase a shiny Raven's Talon from the blackmarket. I secured that for a rather cheap prize though.. Shessh.. Keep it quiet please, okay? Thanks..
The ship seems to be quite handy but I will need some time to get used to it and the new weaponization systems of course.
---
Folks in Liberty didn't seem to be much friendly. Who would like to see an Outcast these days eh? The worst of all.. Well.. I think the bastards are somehow following my entire actions.. I just recently discovered this but keep this quite as well.. Please for the sake of.. I need time to discover how they did this to me..
Thats all for now.. Will try to keep you upto date.. If I can..
Well, they told me to use Ontario as a shortcut but the arrival took longer than I expected. Most probably I will be hanging around for a while.
Bad news.. My old Unioner ID is still under Outcast disguise. I will not have the slightest chance to communicate with these Liberty folk before being fired upon.
---
Rogues gave me a small but comfortable room. And they are easier to communicate with than the Hackers. Something strange happened while I was checking some old documents in my hdd which I had rescued by a miracle to say the least. Found a strangely coded file but it wasn't locked..
Hey, this is Bruno.. I will be hiding in Bretonia for a while until the crisis is over. The Rheinland Military will be sending a large fleet to sweep through Bering and Hudson in order to decrease the recent economical losses and get rid of the Unioner expansion. Karl and Hugo don't know about this so I would be glad if you take them with you to a different location as soon as possible. Pacifica is not safe any more.
---
The crisis? Now this whole thing was getting clear. The depots were confiscated just before the day Pacifica fell. So, it was the military who made the unexpected strike. However, the coalition somehow had this intelligence and they did not let the military overtake the arms and food rations being kept in Bering and Mackenzie. They knew we would not be able to stand a chance against such a fleet.
This made me stop blaming the communist soldiers with acting too overzealous. They just did what had to be done. And the timing was perfect..
---
It is mostly dramatic though that I couldn't inform neither Karl nor Hugo. When was this message added to my notebook? Thats still a mystery..
Have I falied you Bruno?
The first thing I need to do is to find Bruno at all costs. He obviously knows more than me.
Neither Liberty nor Rheinland is the appropriate place to play hide and seek. The military and local navy are still pursuing my track. Actually I was supposed to search Bruno in Bretonia, but things still look grim for me right now. The Bretonian Police authority could have been already provided with the intelligence that I am on the run. They should have been thinking that most probably they would track me down there, but this time I gave them the surprise with setting my course to Kusari where I wouldn't be recognized.
---
As my credits were growing thin, I thought the Kusari could prove to be fruitful being less populated in terms of local protection. The expedition took quite a while, but it also made me regret having not visited these stars before.
My useful disguise allowed me to use Ainu Depot as a new bastion of shelter. These people have named themselves as Golden Chrysanthemums. Quite an odd name for me. However, I learned that they have been seeking to the overthrow of the Kusari government and institute a matriarchy. They just seemed to be.. Eh.. Casted away.. Despite serving for different interests, I believe that these people have been pledging to sacrifice an honorful struggle just like we were doing once upon a time..
---
I am still having trouble in communicating with these people though. They seem to be understanding of all sorts somehow, but its hard for me to understand them in return with the details. They were generous enough to donate me a brand new stock of weaponry which they call as Suncannon Photon Blasters. Quite advanced they are compared to our old Neutron Blasters. I was also told this was the best weaponry available they could offer.
I think, I will be hanging around here for a while. Could poke the Kusari state police and mob some shipments until I decide to take a trip to Bretonia.
