Joe: "Is morning? (short pause) Oh, no... is evening!"
He wasn't sure whether these thoughts were spoken aloud or not. Joe looked confused around him and saw several empty bottles scattered on the floor. He tried to remember what happened...
Suddenly he heard a familiar voice: "- Good evening, Joe!".
Joe (a little unsure): "- Sidon !?"
Sidon: "Affirmative. It seems your alcoholemy is still too high and your senses are a little numb. But you'll be fine.".
Then he realized it wasn't a dream. And Sidon... was there, as always. Sidon was purchased by Joe 6 years ago. That HQPR, one of the earliest commercial models of the personal robots created by Siddhartha Personal Robotics Lab, was the only true friend he had in all these years.
Joe: "I'm thirsty! I need some wine..."
Sidon: "Negative. I received instructions to stop serving you alcohol."
Joe (magged): "Yeah!? And who gave you these instructions?"
Sidon: "These instructions have been received from Mr. Rick Tenda."
Joe (furious): "I hope he will die in hell with his instructions!"
With a visible effort, Joe tried to hide his anger.
Joe (formal): "All right! Then I will drink water."
Sidon: "Mr. Rick Tenda has stored a new message for you. Do you want to see it?"
Joe (with a long sigh): "Yeap."
Sidon: "Play message from Mr. Rick Tenda to Mr. Joe Leroy:
~ Hy, buddy! I hope you're okay. Do you remember how many bottles of wine you been drinking today? Well... (pause) you screwed up again. Mark is very mad, you know!? I'm just curious... you at least have any idea what you did today? (another pause) I think this time he will not forgive you, buddy. I'm really sorry, but... (low-voiced) what was in your mind when you sent that request and gave access to that girl with red hair? (long pause) Anyway... you are called tomorrow at 11:00 UST (Universal Sirius Time) for an emergency meeting. So... I think it would be better to already looking for an excuse. Take care of yourself. ~ The message was finished."
There was a deep silence. Joe still trying to remember what he did.
Joe (determined): "Sidon, please... I want to be alone."
Sidon left the room in silence.
Joe (after a few moments, whispering): "Gosh! Tell me that's not true... was like a dream. I remember..."
Joe (meditative) "Nevaeh! Yeap. That was her name."

Mark: "... and please do not forget to bring some food rations for employees."
Joe: *serious face* "OK! Don't worry!"
Mark: *thoughtful* "If you have problems, please let me know immediately. Communication channel will be opened, all the time."
Joe: *ironic* "Mark, is not the first time when I do that!"
When Joe walked to the door...
Mark: *hastened to add* "And Joe..."
Joe: *bored* "Yeap. I know! I will take care of Atlantis."
Mark: *with a slight smile* "OK, my brother! Good luck, then! See you later."

Joe fly bored at board of LTS-Atlantis, with a full load of optronics. With thoughts elsewhere, he did not notice presence of an outcast ship which was getting ready to attack him. When he heard first shots, he feld a cold shiver passed through his body. With maximum speed, trying to avoid all laser beams, he saw a KNF ship near to Shinjuku Station. He understood then, that ship could be his last chance, so he started a local communication channel:
[07:37:34] LTS-Atlantis: "Greetings, KNF!"
It was a wise decision because that KNF pilot understood in one second what happens and sent a warning to the enemy ship:
[07:37:37] KNF-KaTsu: "Outcast, stop!"
[07:38:19] KNF-KaTsu: "Leave this space or die".
But obviously, that outcast answered ironic:
[07:38:27] Obsidian: "Love to..."
There was a quick fight and finally enemy ship gave up and ran. Then Joe saw another trader wich was in a similar situation.
[07:39:09] LTS-Atlantis: "Good... God helped us today... with KNF here!"
[07:39:30] KNF-KaTsu: "At your service, mates!"
[07:39:38] LTS-Atlantis: "Thank you, sir!"
[07:39:49] Sil-Rites: "Thank you so much for saving our lives !"
[07:40:00] LTS-Atlantis: "I will take a brake for own safe!"
[07:40:05] Traffic control alert: LTS-Atlantis has requested to dock.
He docked on the Shinjuku Station and he went straight to the bar. There, he ordered a beer and sent a detailed report to Mark.

[11:24:44]Attention! Stand clear. Towing LTS-Atlantis *automatic warning message*
Joe (talking to himself, very relaxed): "Yeah, baby! Clear the way, people!"
Suddenly, Joe heard on-board communication station, a strange voice, interrupted by some interferences:
[11:25:13]Sannin: [...]veah: Hello there, stran[...]
Although he was not sure if that greeting was addressed to him, he answered:
[11:25:34]LTS-Atlantis: Joe, here. Greetings!
Conversation has continued, although there was some interferences in communication:
[11:27:03]Sannin: Nevaeh: Ahh! I found [...] comm ID. [...]say your name was, hun?
[11:27:31] LTS-Atlantis: My name ? Joe. I'm Joe Leroy.
[11:27:43] LTS-Atlantis: Sannin *name of the ship driven by that person*
[11:28:21] Sannin: It's good to meet you, Joe. My [...] a pleasure. Might I [...] you work for? *the interferences persists*
[11:28:25] Sannin: [...]rely curious.
[11:28:49] LTS-Atlantis: Well... we are a small corporation of traders. *Joe is disturbed by interferences*
[11:29:00] LTS-Atlantis: Liberty Trade and Supply.
[11:29:04] LTS-Atlantis: or LTS...
[11:29:36] LTS-Atlantis: is a lawful corporation, *he is obviously proud of that* with origin in Liberty, even we operate now in Kusari.
[11:30:01] Sannin: I figured as much, being Liber [...] do you guys typically trade? *with interferences* Anything special?
[11:30:22] LTS-Atlantis: For the momment we just want to develop our base, Muroto Trade Center. *he does not realize that already talks too much*
After a long pause...
[11:34:46] Sannin: What do you [...] selling at the [...] cloaks? I hear those are quite [...]
[11:35:13] LTS-Atlantis: *speedy answer* We don't have rights to sell cloack's in Kusari, sir. So... no!
[11:35:52] Sannin: Sir? *giggles* Is my voice[...]
[11:36:07] LTS-Atlantis: Sorry... my signal... 2 seconds, please. *frequency stabilization attempts*
[11:36:37] Sannin: *she makes her voice really deep* There we go. I was using my GIRLY voice! *the signal is stabilized*
[11:37:09] LTS-Atlantis: *fascinated by that voice* Wow! This a very sweet voice.
[11:37:41] Sannin: *Giggles* Thanks to you, sir!
[11:38:02] LTS-Atlantis: *trying to avoid further conversation* Sorry... I think is better for me to talk later. Shhhh... my wife is here... and...*obviously, a lie*
[11:38:16] Sannin: *silence*
[11:38:19] LTS-Atlantis: *a little honesty* You know... I just don't want to have problems here...*the instinct tells him is better to avoid that girl*
[11:38:40] Sannin: *very quiet* should... I go?
[11:39:09] LTS-Atlantis: *tangled in his own words* Oh, no... I don't know... maybe... sorry... I'm a little busy. *with the hope that can be the end of conversation*
[11:38:16] Sannin: *silence*
[11:39:28] LTS-Atlantis: *embarrassed* Please don't be upset. I promise... we will talk more... soon...
[11:40:49] Sannin: Nevaeh: *she speaks quiet* Okay, you have my comm ID if you... wanna talk, okay?
[11:41:21] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. Sure, Nevaeh. *he believes that the conversation will end but... after a long pause...*
[11:42:16] Sannin: *giggles* Of course, Mr. Important Liberty Shipper, Joe!
[11:42:57] LTS-Atlantis: *he understand the irony* Important ? Neah... only a trader... see you ! I really must to go now. *another attempt to end the conversation*
[11:43:32] Sannin: Of course, new friend! *ups... she know some magic words...*
[11:43:56] Sannin: As I said... you have my comm ID. *she pauses as if to say something more, but doesn't*
[11:43:57] LTS-Atlantis: *he fell into the trap of course* We are already friends !? Wow... nice. Thank you!
[11:48:19] LTS-Atlantis: *curiosity* Oh... and... *short pause* maybe... I mean... just maybe... if you want, when you want... you might want to dock on our base for...
[11:48:26] LTS-Atlantis: a cup of tea *a little excited*
[11:49:35] LTS-Atlantis: You will be welcome there and I hope to meet you in our bar. I will keep also a special wine for you. I'm just curious to see how it looks a girl with such a beautifull voice... *quite frankly*
A very long pause. Joe is disappointed, but...
[11:56:52] Sannin: Nevaeh: Well... *she pauses* I guess you missed out on some key information?
[11:57:27] Sannin: I... well... *sigh* I'm with the girls.
[11:57:49] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... *absolutely confused*
[11:58:03] Sannin: Typically... we can't dock on those... trader stations.
[11:58:20] LTS-Atlantis: *disappointed again* I really don't know what to say... about... yeap... then... maybe we can see elsewhere!
[11:59:36] Sannin: *short laugh* a trader is wanting to meet with what people label 'pirates'...
[11:59:42] Sannin: You don't see that every day...
[11:59:56] Sannin: But no, I am not. I'm a red head! *giggles*
[11:59:16] LTS-Atlantis: *with hope to find more about she* You are brunnete ? Sorry for asking, but I'm very curious...
[12:00:03] LTS-Atlantis: *not knowing how to react - he prefers brunettes* Well... you have a nice voice.
[12:00:24] LTS-Atlantis: So... maybe this is the reason. *just an excuse for the invitation made before*
[12:00:37] LTS-Atlantis: *a moment of lucidity* I must to go back to reality, sorry. *he realized was a mistake*
[12:00:47] Sannin: Did I upset you? *Concerned with a mild laugh*
[12:01:00] Sannin: Reality, you said?
[12:01:05] LTS-Atlantis: You're not the kind of girl that I should have to meet...
[12:01:19] LTS-Atlantis: Conversation with you was like a beautiful dream, but...
[12:01:25] Sannin: What isn't real about this? Ohhh~ You're looking for one of 'those'... I see...
[12:02:08] LTS-Atlantis: What ? No. But... you could kill me... if you meet me... *a little worried*
[12:02:36] Sannin: Do you think if I wanted to kill you... I would of contacted you? And had all this fun talk? *her voice is very mellow when saying that*
[12:02:59] LTS-Atlantis: I don't know you. *quite honestly*
[12:03:31] Sannin: And I don't know you! *she stalls on his comment*
[12:03:41] Sannin: Gi-*she stops*
[12:03:51] Sannin: What's wrong with meeting new people?
[12:04:23] LTS-Atlantis: Nothing... just... I have a job... and is more important than any girl...
[12:04:38] Sannin: You're just scared! *she says with a hightened pitch*
[12:05:16] LTS-Atlantis: I'm not scared! *but he is... well... maybe just a little*
[12:05:43] Sannin: Haha! You are! *she's clearly mockin' him, playfully though*
[12:06:14] LTS-Atlantis: Just a moment, please. I think I'm lost... *truth*
[12:07:34] Sannin: *silence*
[12:07:41] LTS-Atlantis: Because of you, I set a wrong path... Oh...
[12:08:05] Sannin: How did I do it? *laughing*
[12:08:34] LTS-Atlantis: You have a strange effect on me.
[12:09:35] Sannin: What do you mean?
[12:10:17] LTS-Atlantis: Nothing, sorry. Does not matter. *silence*
[12:11:00] Sannin: No, no! It's okay, you can tell me. *sounds like she thinks it might be a bad thing?*
[12:11:37] LTS-Atlantis: I said it does not matter. Anyway... my partner, Rick, is upset on me.... because he try to communicate with me and I not respond... and for wasting my time talking to you.
[12:12:30] Sannin: *sigh* Tell this "Rick" guy you can talk to who you want, yes?
[12:13:24] LTS-Atlantis: He is Vice President so... I can not say that.
[12:13:54] Sannin: Oh... *face like ._.*
[12:14:12] Sannin: But he should still respect you...
[12:14:36] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah...
[12:15:07] LTS-Atlantis: Wait! I decide to take a break soon.. and we can talk more... if you want... *he needs some wine*
[12:15:29] Sannin: Where are you? *she seems hopefull*
[12:15:54] LTS-Atlantis: Kyushu Planet. In bar. *obvious*
[12:16:26] Sannin: Oh, well... I would say that I'd join you...
[12:16:35] Sannin: But you know...
[12:16:43] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. I know. Oh, Rick asked me why I stopped here...
[12:17:30] LTS-Atlantis: *indignant* But, I tired to bring all day the same ship hull panels...
[12:17:53] LTS-Atlantis: In every day I do same work. *unhappy*
[12:18:02] Sannin: Why not quit?
[12:18:47] LTS-Atlantis: To quit!? *surprised by idea* No way. I love my work but occasionally I need break.
[12:19:17] Sannin: Maybe it's time to move on?
[12:19:45] LTS-Atlantis: Like I said before... you don't know me! *disappointed again*
[12:20:01] LTS-Atlantis: Me and my brother... I mean... we want to prove something our father.
[12:20:46] Sannin: So is it just the two of you?
[12:20:54] LTS-Atlantis: No. But this little corporation was founded by my brother and... our father was not agree with him.
[12:22:04] Sannin: Why did he start the company? Why not just team up with Interspace?
[12:22:11] Sannin: Or another of the sort?
[12:22:21] LTS-Atlantis: This is a long story. *he just finished a bottle of wine*
[12:23:09] LTS-Atlantis: Our father is one of the Interpace employees. And... asked my brother to apply for a job in Interspace Commerce but he refused because it has a different conception about trade.
[12:24:30] Sannin: Interspace, from what I understand, is a fantastic trade company.
[12:24:33] Sannin: Why not join?
[12:24:45] LTS-Atlantis: To Interspace!? Never. Because I think Interspace Commerce is a corporation with too old members and and youth have no chance of promotion there. We have a different vision about what trade means.
[12:27:08] Sannin: Ohhh, I understand. Why ally yourself with Liberty, then?
[12:27:17] Sannin: Why not work as one of the freelancers?
[12:27:17] LTS-Atlantis: Because we are forced by laws to have an identity, even if it's not what we are...
[12:27:08] LTS-Atlantis: We hope in one day... *short pause* to change people's perception about what it should mean trade... *he is absorbed by subject*
[12:27:35] Sannin: *pause* I could dock on your base then... *happy*
[12:28:07] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap... I already sent a request to our computer base for your access. *he does not seem to be surprised*
[12:28:27] Sannin: That's so sweet of you! *she is surprised*
[12:28:38] Sannin: Where is your base?
[12:28:51] LTS-Atlantis: Hmmm... in front of Honshu planet! *he request silently another bottle of wine*
[12:29:04] LTS-Atlantis: But I'm not sure if you can go there. *worried*
[12:29:11] Sannin: Who says? I can go where I want. *proud*
[12:29:23] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... I'm sure about that but... if KNF will see you...
[12:29:31] Sannin: Ha! They can't hit me.
[12:29:38] LTS-Atlantis: Maybe, but we may have some problems, also...
[12:30:45] LTS-Atlantis: Damn... I need a cigar... *agitated*
[12:31:08] Sannin: Do you smoke those big fancy onces from Nagano?
[12:31:36] LTS-Atlantis: No. Only the cheap ones... In general, all the money produced are going in company...
[12:32:28] LTS-Atlantis: This is the first rule of my brother.
[12:32:44] Sannin: To give all your money to his company? Hmmm...
[12:32:56] LTS-Atlantis: His company? No. Is also... our company. *pause* Yeah... he is President... but he deserve to be President because he worked a lot until now for that company...
[12:34:50] LTS-Atlantis: I think I will take one more bottle of wine. *he is already drunk*
[12:34:59] LTS-Atlantis: I'm already drunk. I'm tired... a little upset... I talk with a girl with a very beautiful... *long pause* voice.
[12:35:39] Sannin: Why are you upset? And getting drunk doesn't solve problems. *quiet laugh* It makes them worse!
[12:35:54] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... everyone says that.
[12:36:37] Sannin: It just seems to be like that. Truely.
[12:36:47] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... I meet a pirate today, you know... *he deviate from the subject*
[12:37:04] Sannin: Though, your mind may be clear of the bull that stresses you. MmmHmmm?
[12:37:24] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... and I was really lucky... because a KNF ship was there... and helped me... else... *silence*
[12:38:22] LTS-Atlantis: Eh... so... I deserve another bottle of wine, right? *looking for excuses because it is drunk*
[12:39:04] Sannin: So it'd seem.
[12:39:14] Sannin: But you know about what us girls do... right?
[12:39:24] LTS-Atlantis: Sorry... *he don't understand the question*
[12:39:30] Sannin: Mmmhmm... Do you know?
[12:39:39] LTS-Atlantis: Uh... girls like you... *sounds like a quote*
[12:39:39] Sannin: I don't like to admit it. Us girls... you know, the GC girls...
[12:40:04] LTS-Atlantis: You have a nice voice. This is all i know, right now.
[12:40:05] Sannin: *she pauses, sounding some what worried* Well... hmmm... How do I put this? *another pause* Do you know what cardamine is?
[12:40:41] Sannin: I'm sure you do...
[12:40:43] LTS-Atlantis: GC girls... golden girls... yeah... I know about cardamine. But I do not use it.
[12:42:36] Sannin: Use what? The wine? *no comment*
[12:42:44] LTS-Atlantis: You... GC girls, what else you have to offer ? I mean... you sell cardamine ? For what ? Why you don't sell some goods like... robotics or...
[12:42:51] Sannin: No.. we use it! And I guess we sell...
[12:43:39] LTS-Atlantis: You use it ?
[12:43:48] Sannin: All GC girls do.
[12:43:53] LTS-Atlantis: Huh...
[12:43:58] Sannin: Did you not know?
[12:44:24] LTS-Atlantis: Nope... until now.
[12:44:38] Sannin: It's almost like... a right of passage.
[12:45:02] Sannin: Enough about this.
[12:45:05] Sannin: I can see Honshu.
[12:45:05] LTS-Atlantis: I'm curious... when you use cardamine... what you see is...
[12:45:11] Sannin: Shhh...
[12:45:10] LTS-Atlantis: OK, sorry.
[12:45:32] Sannin: You say the base is in front of Honshu?
[12:45:47] LTS-Atlantis: Too much wine for today...
[12:45:53] LTS-Atlantis: The base ?
[12:45:57] Sannin: Yes!
[12:45:58] LTS-Atlantis: What base ? *obviously very drunk*
[12:46:05] Sannin: Your station! *perplexed*
[12:46:06] LTS-Atlantis: I told you about our base? Huh... well... Yeah. Is there. *short pause*
[12:46:21] LTS-Atlantis: I think.
[12:46:26] Sannin: In front of Honshu.
[12:46:32] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap.
[12:46:39] LTS-Atlantis: Was always there...
[12:46:56] LTS-Atlantis: Or... at least... there I saw it early...
[12:47:04] Sannin: Are you sure it's not in New London? *sarcastic*
[12:47:24] LTS-Atlantis: New London? *too drunk to understand her sarcasm*
[12:47:25] Sannin: What's the station's name?
[12:47:30] LTS-Atlantis: Hm... wait. *he try to remember the name*
[12:47:35] Sannin: Think hard.
[12:47:37] LTS-Atlantis: Is a town... with M. Maro... Huh... I think... Maro... No! Muroto!
[12:47:59] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. Muroto Trade.
[12:48:18] LTS-Atlantis: Is the name of a town... from old Sol...
[12:48:33] LTS-Atlantis: Muroto... what a name...
[12:48:49] Sannin: Why did you name your station after a dead planet's town?
[12:48:49] LTS-Atlantis: That base was not builded by LTS, you know?
[12:48:58] Sannin: Hmmm? Quit slurring your words, hun.
[12:49:12] LTS-Atlantis: Was builded by CIT. And... i was a leader... Yeap.
[12:49:21] LTS-Atlantis: I was a leader of a group... CIT.
[12:49:56] Sannin: Are you sure it's in front of Honshu? But that's really nice, hun.
[12:50:10] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap.
[12:50:15] Sannin: No base here!
[12:50:22] LTS-Atlantis: I told you. Is there. In front of Honshu...
[12:50:26] Sannin: I think you're verrry drunk. I'm over the planet.
[12:50:30] LTS-Atlantis: Maybe... *pause* maybe was destroyed already.
[12:51:04] LTS-Atlantis: Who knows!? I will see later. *surprisingly indifferent*
[12:51:15] LTS-Atlantis: But it was there. This is sure.
[12:51:26] LTS-Atlantis: In front of Honshu planet!
[12:51:46] Sannin: Wait... what? It just appeared on my radar...
[12:51:51] Sannin: How in the... I just...
[12:51:59] LTS-Atlantis: Oh...
[12:52:13] LTS-Atlantis: Good to know the base still exists... *happy*
[12:52:26] LTS-Atlantis: You can dock there, I told you. At least today...
[12:52:31] Sannin: It appears it's well intact!
[12:52:51] Sannin: Some random... GMG is bothering me...
[12:53:19] LTS-Atlantis: Take care... there... you are not welcome there.
[12:53:30] Sannin: Who says?
[12:53:41] LTS-Atlantis: *was surprised by the question* Hmmm... Good question.
[12:53:41] Sannin: I can go whereEVER I like! *proud*
[12:53:48] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... I know. Girls like you... always can go...
[12:52:57] LTS-Atlantis: Damn. I must to go back at work... I think.
[12:54:35] Sannin: Don't tell me you're going to fly... drunk!
[12:54:39] Sannin: I've done that before... and almost got myself and a dear... dear friend killed.
[12:55:00] LTS-Atlantis: Or maybe is better to take another round of wine...
[12:55:26] LTS-Atlantis: Or maybe... I will call my brother to...
[12:55:30] LTS-Atlantis: Wait! You girls... have a base?
[12:55:58] Sannin: Of course! But.. I shouldn't talk much about it.
[12:56:15] Sannin: Where else would we get our ships, sleep, repairs...?
[12:56:08] LTS-Atlantis: And... why not? Only girls can go there?
[12:56:42] Sannin: No, that's not the case... but telling everyone about what is considered a 'pirate' base...
[12:56:55] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... You know what!? I don't care about your base. You better try to find a job... on a planet... like Honshu.
[12:57:55] Sannin: A job? *surprised*
[12:58:00] Sannin: I have a job! My life~is my job!
[12:58:23] Sannin: Do you know what us girls stand for?
[12:58:31] Sannin: Why we are what we are?
[12:58:37] LTS-Atlantis: No.
[12:58:52] LTS-Atlantis: What you are ?
[12:58:55] Sannin: We, and when I say we, I speak for -all- the girls, *pause* we want equal rights! So simple sounding, but... so difficult to achive...
[12:59:22] LTS-Atlantis: Equal rights... with who? *astonished*
[12:59:49] Sannin: The genders!
[12:59:54] LTS-Atlantis: Huh...
[13:00:39] Sannin: We focus on Kusari space... but I want it to be equal everywhere!
[13:00:50] Sannin: For everyone!
[13:00:58] Sannin: Equal chances all around...
[13:01:11] LTS-Atlantis: So... you think... you are equal with me, right?
[13:01:21] Sannin: Why not? *challenging*
[13:01:28] Sannin: You're human, right?
[13:01:36] LTS-Atlantis: Well... I don't think you can drink as much I can... so... *sarcastic*
[13:01:44] Sannin: *giggles* I don't think you're brave enough to use cardamine!
[13:02:17] LTS-Atlantis: Again... cardamine...
[13:02:30] Sannin: *She realizes what she just brought up*
[13:02:30] LTS-Atlantis: All peoples talk only about that... cardamine.
[13:02:49] LTS-Atlantis: Not about gold... silver... only cardamine!
[13:03:40] LTS-Atlantis: I will never understand why you like so much that cardamine.
[13:03:55] Sannin: It's... do you know a lot of old Earth?
[13:04:12] LTS-Atlantis: I read something... yeah.
[13:04:29] Sannin: Did you ever read up on their old drugs? It's like... Ecstasy almost...
[13:05:00] Sannin: You just feel... *pause*
[13:05:11] LTS-Atlantis: Like in heaven?
[13:05:13] Sannin: Sooooo (big breath) aliiive!
[13:05:19] LTS-Atlantis: Damn, girl!
[13:05:23] Sannin: Colors become so much more...
[13:05:31] Sannin: lights...
[13:05:32] Sannin: sounds...
[13:05:59] LTS-Atlantis: Interesting... but... then... why is illegal ?
[13:06:26] Sannin: Because... *pause*
[13:06:31] Sannin: like....
[13:06:34] Sannin: if I stopped using it...
[13:06:39] Sannin: I... *deep silence*
[13:06:43] Sannin: I would die!
[13:06:56] Sannin: It changes you!
[13:06:59] Sannin: Litterally.
[13:07:54] Sannin: It's... such a lovely feeling. But... it's so dangerous!
[13:07:55] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... I received a message... Rick told me he found your ID in computer of our base. Hmmm... This is not good!
[13:08:51] LTS-Atlantis: He deleted your access there... I think.
[13:09:00] LTS-Atlantis: Sorry for that!
[13:09:02] Sannin: I'll just stay docked, ha!
[13:09:15] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. Is an option. *resigned*
[13:09:36] LTS-Atlantis: But please, don't let any cardamine there...
[13:10:51] Sannin: You say that like it's an infectious disease!
[13:11:43] LTS-Atlantis: Now I really must to go home. I'm too drunk!
[13:11:50] Sannin: Flying drunk! That's such a great idea! *sarcasm again*
[13:12:04] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap... is not for the first time, anyway.
[13:12:06] LTS-Atlantis: Oh, wait! Please excuse me for a moment. Rick insisted to talk with me, ok ?
[13:12:09] Sannin: I will be here!
Joe Leroy accept the call from Rick Tenda.
[13:12:16] LTS-Atlantis: Hy, Rick!
[13:12:18] LTS-Endeavour: Hy, buddy! Are you drunk!? You know what you did today? *silence*
[13:13:47] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... I was in a bar... on Honshu planet and...
[13:13:56] LTS-Atlantis: I think I'm drunk! And was a mistake.
[13:14:16] LTS-Atlantis: You know... this girl have a very nice voice... and... I invited to see our bar!
[13:14:38] LTS-Endeavour: Is your mess, you must to clean it!
[13:14:48] LTS-Atlantis: I understand. Well... then I will come home.
[13:14:48] LTS-Atlantis: But... don't be so upset. You must to have trust in me...
[13:15:37] LTS-Atlantis: All will be fine, my friend! *smiling*
[13:16:08] LTS-Atlantis: But if you hear that voice, I'm sure you will understand me... is very...
[13:17:23] LTS-Endeavour: Shut up! Just... come home and... do it now!
[13:17:25] LTS-Atlantis: *silence*
[13:17:35] LTS-Atlantis: OK.
The call was interrupted by Rick Tenda.
[13:22:45] LTS-Atlantis: GC girl? *unsure*
[13:22:52] Sannin: Hmmm?
[13:22:53] LTS-Atlantis: Are you still there?
[13:22:57] Sannin: Do you remember my name?
[13:23:08] LTS-Atlantis: Sorry... this wine... I forget your name...
[13:23:22] Sannin: *giggle* It's okay. My name is Nevaeh.
[13:23:39] Sannin: Can I help you, friend?
[13:23:42] LTS-Atlantis: Nevaeh... Right! *very happy*
[13:23:53] Sannin: Mmmhmm...
[13:23:55] Sannin: You got it!
[13:23:56] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... I tried to talk with Rick... about you.
[13:24:03] Sannin: Oh?
[13:24:16] LTS-Atlantis: ...but it was too upset. *resigned*
[13:24:31] Sannin: Because you made friends with someone?
[13:24:38] LTS-Atlantis: No. Because I left you to dock on our base...
[13:25:12] LTS-Atlantis: I tried to explain... but...
[13:25:24] Sannin: Should I talk to him?
[13:25:37] LTS-Atlantis: He said I'm too drunk!
[13:25:53] Sannin: You know... you gave me access before you started to drink!
[13:26:04] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah !?
[13:26:20] LTS-Atlantis: Then... maybe your voice was the reason...
[13:26:12] Sannin: And he says you're too drunk? *with indifference*
[13:26:38] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. He said I'm too drunk.
[13:26:38] Sannin: *soft sigh* See? This is what the girls fight for!
[13:26:58] LTS-Atlantis: No. I can't see... But... I'm not soo drunk... you know...
[13:27:08] LTS-Atlantis: I mean.. I can drive... I can dance...
[13:27:39] LTS-Atlantis: So... no... I'm not so drunk.
[13:27:50] Sannin: Dance? *a girlish "he he he" laugh*
[13:28:16] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... here in this bar... I see some pretty nice girls.
[13:28:11] Sannin: I can do "The Robot"! *laughs*
[13:28:45] LTS-Atlantis: "The Robot"!? Really?
[13:28:59] Sannin: Do you know the dance?
[13:29:08] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... Yeap.
[13:29:14] Sannin: Yes!
[13:29:23] LTS-Atlantis: But I'm not a very good dancer...
[13:29:52] Sannin: It's easy to learn.
[13:30:06] Sannin: Go ask one of those girls on stage.
[13:30:23] LTS-Atlantis: Maybe next time... now is late. I must to go home.
The communication channel with Nevaeh remained open. Joe left the bar and tries to find ship.
[13:30:54] LTS-Atlantis: Where the hell is my ship?
[13:31:04] LTS-Atlantis: I can't find my ship...
[13:31:24] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... baby... here you are... yeah!
[13:31:33] LTS-Atlantis: OK. Let's drive!
[13:31:51] Sannin: I see your brother.
[13:32:05] Sannin: Heading towards New Tokyo.
[13:32:07] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah!?
[13:32:10] Sannin: Mmmhmm...
[13:32:30] LTS-Atlantis: Would be better not see me.
Another trader passes and he politely greets!
[13:32:57] Domino.Effect: Greetings...
[13:33:06] LTS-Atlantis: Greetings.
[13:33:22] Domino.Effect: Tokyo clear... Safe flight!
[13:34:05] Sannin: Why it's better not to see your brother?
[13:34:16] LTS-Atlantis: Because I'm drunk.
But, after only two seconds...
[13:34:18] LTS-Atlantis: Ups! Here it is!
[13:35:04] LTS-Atlantis: So... I think I will use autopilot.
[13:35:14] Sannin: You know damn well that stuff barely works.
[13:37:19] LTS-Atlantis: Where are you? You're still docked on our station?
[13:37:52] Sannin: I'm in the middle of no where.
[13:38:40] LTS-Atlantis: In one day... maybe... in future... you will invite me on your base.
[13:39:03] LTS-Atlantis: To see you... and also to see how looks all that GC girls!
[13:39:45] Sannin: Hun, I'm not sure how the other girls would feel about a man entering the station.
[13:40:04] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... right!
[13:40:27] LTS-Atlantis: You have cardamine in cargo? I mean... now.
[13:41:12] Sannin: I always do!
[13:41:23] LTS-Atlantis: Funny. *smiling*
[13:41:34] Sannin: Why is it funny?
[13:41:52] LTS-Atlantis: Nothing... only...
[13:42:13] LTS-Atlantis: I have always some panels in my cargo, also!
[13:43:23] Sannin: Why are the panels so important?
[13:43:44] LTS-Atlantis: Heh... are not so important...
[13:43:55] LTS-Atlantis: I mean... we need panels for base. That's all!
[13:44:05] Sannin: Why?
[13:44:23] LTS-Atlantis: To build something... Don't ask me, what! Because I don't know.
[13:44:54] Sannin: Why are you building something that you don't know about?
[13:45:25] LTS-Atlantis: My job, in every day, is to bring panels for our base!
[13:45:36] Sannin: Are you payed?
[13:45:57] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap! I receive a some bonuses.
[13:46:14] Sannin: Is it all worth it?
[13:46:30] LTS-Atlantis: Is enough for me.
[13:46:43] LTS-Atlantis: I don't need too much money. Only for food... sometimes for wine...
[13:48:02] LTS-Atlantis: Hmmm... I'm home but... this bar is so empty.
[13:48:27] LTS-Atlantis: Let's see... no! No more wine... here.
[13:48:46] Sannin: Did you... drink it all?
[13:48:53] LTS-Atlantis: Me? No. I think they hid it!
[13:49:06] Sannin: Ahhh, yeah. I went to the bar there too... Was... overly boring, and dull.
[13:49:46] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. But in one day... this bar will be unique!
[13:51:11] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... Nemaeh?
[13:51:42] Sannin: No dear, Nevaeh.
[13:51:52] LTS-Atlantis: Oh, sorry!
[13:51:58] Sannin: It's Heaven backwards. That should help you remember. Don't worry, I understand.
[13:52:06] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah! So... Nevaeh...
[13:52:32] Sannin: Yes?
[13:52:34] LTS-Atlantis: Is a weird name.
[13:52:38] Sannin: How so?
[13:52:45] Sannin: It's no weirder than Joe, or Mike... or Rick.
[13:53:04] LTS-Atlantis: Joe... is an easy name! But Nemaeh?
[13:53:30] LTS-Atlantis: Oh, sorry. Nevaeh...
[13:54:05] Sannin: Have you never heard that name before?
[13:54:11] LTS-Atlantis: Nope.
[13:54:23] LTS-Atlantis: What is your origin?
[13:55:01] Sannin: *no answer*
[13:55:17] LTS-Atlantis: I think... you don't want to talk about that.
[13:56:51] Sannin: Well hun, it's kind of a long story. Not that I don't wanna talk about it.
[13:57:01] Sannin: Also, my comms seem to be having a bit of problems.
[13:57:26] Sannin: But, if you wish to know, I come from Liberty, believe it or not.
[13:57:46] Sannin: Rather odd for a GC, I'm aware.
[13:57:50] LTS-Atlantis: *he sings* A misterious girl... Nevaeh... la la la... don't want to talk with me... la la la... Nevaeh... la la la...
[13:58:25] LTS-Atlantis: Nevaeh... a misterious girl... la la la...
[13:58:35] LTS-Atlantis: I want to write a song about your name.
[13:58:40] Sannin: Why are you singing while I'm answering your question? *she is upset*
[13:58:57] LTS-Atlantis: Sorry!
[13:59:04] Sannin: Were you listening?
[13:59:17] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... I need more wine.
[13:59:26] Sannin: You were? What did I say?
[13:59:38] LTS-Atlantis: I'm listening, girl.
[13:59:44] LTS-Atlantis: I really want to write a song with your name.
[14:00:44] Sannin: I *a little... apprehensive?* guess that's fine?
[14:00:51] LTS-Atlantis: *sings again* ...Nevaeh... la la la...
[14:00:55] LTS-Atlantis: What? Sorry!
[14:01:16] LTS-Atlantis: I'm in heaven... and I don't need cardamine to be here, you know ?
[14:02:40] Sannin: This communications tend to have a stronger signal, so we shall use these! Sound good?
[14:03:04] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap... it's ok!
[14:03:18] LTS-Atlantis: Now... I have a question. You know to fight ?
[14:03:38] Sannin: Well, I fly a bomber... So... I fight bigger ships.
[14:03:51] LTS-Atlantis: I have a bomber also, you know?
[14:04:41] LTS-Atlantis: But I must to admit... I'm not a very good fighter.
[14:05:50] Sannin: Oh? You're no good? *with a trace of disbelief*
[14:05:58] LTS-Atlantis: No. I really don't know to fight... *is a lie* ... even I have a bomber. Maybe... you will teach me?
[14:06:58] Sannin: On what? Transports?
[14:07:03] LTS-Atlantis: Hey... *smiling*
[14:07:08] Sannin: *giggle*
[14:07:11] LTS-Atlantis: I have a bomber, girl! A real one.
[14:07:25] Sannin: He he... We can shoot your brother! Give him a good scare, you know?
[14:07:51] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... when? Where?
[14:08:15] LTS-Atlantis: Take care. My brother has some friends...
[14:08:29] Sannin: I have bigger scarier friends!
[14:08:47] Sannin: *boasts* Do you know what the Marduk is?
[14:08:54] LTS-Atlantis: Marduk ? What kind of name is that ?
[14:09:08] Sannin: It's the biggest *builds tension with small pause*
[14:09:11] Sannin: MEANEST
[14:09:13] LTS-Atlantis: Marduk... *indifferent*
[14:09:17] Sannin: SCARYEST
[14:09:22] Sannin: NOMAD SHIP.
[14:09:25] Sannin: I met one! And talked to it for sooo long!
[14:09:46] LTS-Atlantis: I meet also three nomad ships.
[14:09:59] Sannin: Not a Marduk though!
[14:10:19] LTS-Atlantis: You like nomads?
[14:10:24] Sannin: Of course!
[14:10:34] LTS-Atlantis: They are humans...
[14:10:38] Sannin: Nope. You're wrong!
[14:10:48] LTS-Atlantis: Oh...
[14:10:53] Sannin: They're their own race... their own species.
[14:11:00] Sannin: Their "ships" are actually themselves
[14:11:09] Sannin: Organic life! You know? They're like, alive...
[14:11:28] Sannin: the "ships".
[14:11:34] LTS-Atlantis: So... is like.... my "Stork" would have life?
[14:11:54] Sannin: Nooooooooo! *sigh*
[14:12:05] Sannin: The nomads!
[14:12:13] LTS-Atlantis: I don't understand anyway all that nomands.
[14:12:16] Sannin: *she begins to get excited talking about the nomads* The no-nomads!
[14:12:22] Sannin: They are sooo smart! Did you know that they use cardamine?
[14:12:39] LTS-Atlantis: They use a strange language...
[14:12:59] Sannin: It's not their language! It's....
[14:13:05] Sannin: how our minds process it!
[14:13:11] Sannin: They can talk to anything like we hear them.
[14:13:16] LTS-Atlantis: Because of cardamine ? *very confused*
[14:13:23] Sannin: No, no!
[14:13:29] Sannin: The cardamine is different.
[14:13:37] LTS-Atlantis: Oh... I see. *but did not understand nothing*
[14:13:50] LTS-Atlantis: But... the nomads... *he makes one last attempt*
[14:13:58] Sannin: Mmhmm?
[14:14:30] Sannin: What about the nomads? *she's still just as excited to be talking about them as she was before*
[14:14:46] LTS-Atlantis: I do not understand their language!
[14:14:54] Sannin: It's not their language, hun!
[14:15:02] Sannin: It's cause you have trouble understanding it...
[14:15:05] Sannin: With your own mind.
[14:15:32] LTS-Atlantis: They can read our minds?
[14:15:32] Sannin: Well, they are still using what they know... They simply have other names for stuff.
[14:16:08] Sannin: But, I don't see why they couldn't. I never just... thought to one...
After a very long silence...
[14:19:32] Sannin: Joe?
[14:19:35] Sannin: Let's hear that song... you've been working so hard on...
[14:19:58] LTS-Atlantis: Is not ready yet, girl.
[14:20:43] Sannin: Try!
[14:20:50] Sannin: I'm sure you got SOME of the song at least.
[14:21:00] LTS-Atlantis: You know... I think... your name's still hard for me to remember!
[14:21:07] LTS-Atlantis: I will call you... *pause* Sunshine Girl!
[14:21:37] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. So, from now on I will call you Sunshine Girl.
[14:22:20] Sannin: Sunshine Girl? *laughs*
[14:22:28] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap. You don't like it?
[14:22:44] Sannin: No! It's good!
[14:22:59] LTS-Atlantis: You will be my sunshine!
[14:23:05] Sannin: Oh, goodness! Shhhh... you're drunk.
[14:23:26] LTS-Atlantis: Oh, right.
[14:23:28] Sannin: Hmmm?
[14:23:45] LTS-Atlantis: So what? Sunshine is a nice name, instead Nemaeh or... wait... yeah, Nevaeh! I'm not sure anyway...
[14:24:24] Sannin: Remember what I told you? Heaven backwards!
[14:24:53] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... now I understand! YES!
[14:25:02] LTS-Atlantis: Heaven...
[14:25:09] LTS-Atlantis: Nevaeh.
[14:25:16] LTS-Atlantis: It's easy! *happy*
[14:25:53] Sannin: See? It's easy!
[14:25:51] LTS-Atlantis: Yeap, but... if I say... *pause*
[14:26:07] Sannin: What!?
[14:26:07] LTS-Atlantis: I'm in Heaven...
[14:26:15] LTS-Atlantis: is like I say... *and he stopped*
[14:26:39] Sannin: Like what?
[14:26:41] Sannin: Hmm? *oblivious*
[14:26:55] LTS-Atlantis: Nothing.
[14:28:04] Sannin: *confused* Are... you flirting with me?
[14:26:55] LTS-Atlantis: Who!? Me?
[14:28:16] LTS-Atlantis: Nope. *he lied*
[14:28:24] Sannin: Just... your wording.
[14:28:32] Sannin: Careful with those then, yes?
[14:28:44] LTS-Atlantis: Yeah... was funny for me... only words... nothing more.
[14:28:49] Sannin: You should say those kind things to your wife!
[14:28:52] LTS-Atlantis: *he realized that was a mistake when lied about his wife* Don't be upset, please!
[14:28:58] Sannin: No, I'm not.
[14:29:35] LTS-Atlantis: I think it would be better to sleep.
[14:31:50] Sannin: Ohhh! You're sleepy!
[14:32:00] LTS-Atlantis: Yeeeahhhh....
[14:32:08] Sannin: All right. Don't wake up with a hangover, okay?
[14:32:12] Sannin: Drink a lot of water...
[14:32:18] LTS-Atlantis: Water!?
[14:32:19] Sannin: Yes
[14:32:20] Sannin: And... eat yogurt.
[14:32:24] Sannin: And bread. Yes. Eat bread.
[14:32:37] Sannin: You're gonna have a major hangover!
[14:32:45] LTS-Atlantis: Uh...
[14:32:50] LTS-Atlantis: OK, girl!
[14:32:59] LTS-Atlantis: You're the boss... *short pause*
[14:33:03] LTS-Atlantis: ...today! *smiling*
[14:33:23] Sannin: Everyday!
[14:33:30] LTS-Atlantis: But... remember... if you see me in space...
[14:33:38] Sannin: I will rob you!
[14:33:40] LTS-Atlantis: No... be kind...
[14:33:53] Sannin: We shall see *giggle*
[14:33:54] LTS-Atlantis: Be nice and sweet like your name and voice!
[14:34:08] Sannin: *modest* That I shall.
[14:34:14] LTS-Atlantis: Good.
[14:34:21] Sannin: I thank you for the great talk!
[14:34:25] Sannin: Sleep well, new friend!
[14:34:31] LTS-Atlantis: Thank's. See you next time, girl!
