Buster's been gone for some time now, not even Thing knows where he is any more. Since he left, I've taken over his role here as lead engineer.
As for your project, basically when he disappeared the work stopped. The crew boys aren't the brightest and tried to help file the paperwork somewhere safe....Don't get me started on those incompetent.....
Anyway, business..... After a whole lot of record hunting I finally found what I was looking for, and its not exactly a good thing.
You'll see what needs to be done for yourself, but basically we don't even know if the turrets planned on being used will work on this damn thing.
What I've got here is about it. Time to put things into overdrive?
Goddamn
If you're the
best we've got
then obviously the
proverbial diarrhoea
really has hit the fan.
Who in the hell are you?
Wait... never mind. You're
at least somewhat useful.
I hope your IQ is bigger than
your shirt if you wish to work
for me. The bonus with you
is that you have no metal
arms like Buster. That's
one bit of credibility for
you: You are not a
clumsy oaf.
I like your style, kid.
You've actually made
something I can relate
too: Order and priorities.
Can you weld? Do you
know how to hold a
bloody hammer?
I hope so, or it
will be Malta
for you.
I'm Penny and yeah, I am the best you've got here. Have a problem with it?
I've been welding and holding hammers since I was knee high to a grasshopper, and I still do a better job then most of the boys around these parts, as you put it, I'm not a clumsy oaf. Better yet, the boys here don't answer back. Don't ask where the last one who did is now. Trust me, he'll be wishing he kept his mouth shut.
Simply put, if you want this thing finished in your life time, things need to start moving. Picking up where Buster left off that leaves shield, or guns.
I'd suggest shield first. Unless you don't mind the ship being destroyed in the asteroid field before it even leaves Cassini...... The graviton one would probably be best.... But it all depends who you feel like getting shot by first.
Since you are planning on returning,
I thought you might appreciate finding out some information on Diplomacy and how things in general are going for us at the moment.
Tori has been working to make things happen, and from what I can see she isn't doing too badly.
After spending some time on Pauda after the latest supply run, she seems nice enough.
We have a few people bringing in goods to a few places.
Some guy called Eric Micheals, the other being VR-.
Spike isn't running the show there anymore, they seem to have cleaned up their act somewhat.
So far we have more blood diamonds then we know what to do with, and pills to fill our medical needs.
Some Aseijin ship came into Galileo,
Wanted to know what it was doing, late for something apparently.
As long as we don't give them a reason to, they wont shoot.
Again, Tori has that under control, they are only interested in the 'Casts turf war after all.
Another sub-lot of Rogues, the ALR, have been in touch.
I believe they helped our boys with a few problematic characters in the area.
Any one offering a helping hand at the moment is a good one to have around.
Especially since the Navy have started noting our presence in the area.
The CL}, a new lot in the Outcast turf have contacted us, they seem to be ok.
They will allow us up to Alpha to look at the weapons we want,
Do a few studies and make sure they are what we want and then take them home.
No questions asked.
Which is nice, after the latest incident with our old friends, the 101st.
Oh there is also something about the Ghost folk and invalid deals.
War ships in Liberty and shooting Rogues.
They have made many enemies from what I can see, It would be silly to continue offering them support.
No surprises there in
regarding Liberty's finest.
They were always avid fans
of ours and why should it stop?
Those Vagrants... Man they piss
me off. You mean to say that that
pissant Spike no longer runs
that circus? I'll believe it when
I see it, that's for damn sure.
Aseijin? Are they our new
Kusari neighbours or
something? Forget
it, I'll question you
more on this when
I make it home.
And here I was beginning to think you didn't need me anymore... Cant a guy just disappear for awhile and take a little vacation? Working for you isnt all peaches and cream, ya know. Most people woulda put a blaster in their mouth working for you day and night for as long as I did. I think I earned my R&R time. BUT! since ya dont need me anymore, ima park my arse on Planet Denver and live the rest of my days in a cold drunken stupor starin at boobs and butts and being a rather dirty old man.
But you and I both know that isnt going to happen... Theres one hell of a storm comin and I got news for you Moka... Your gonna need me more than you ever did.
Look at you. Always finding excuses for
you flippant disregard to ones duties.
Luckily for us both, we both needed that
holiday so I won't use it against you.
Storm you say? I can't say I miss the crazy
life we lead, but I can assure you it is who
we are and it is what we live for. Get your
ass to TNF and we'll get our collective asses
in gear and start figuring out this mess.
