Data Upload - File 3.29.825A.S. - Entry 13: Delta Had to make an emergency trip back down to Delta, but the way for Nodoka looked clear. The Overwatch got jumpy again with Alesia again trying to make good on her intentions to run a Freeport. Again, I'd have wished her luck but, frankly, I didn't even have time to do that.
'lanski and those dogs got around to her before I could do much. Coalition, too. Seems even they aren't immune to the lies.
I'm pulling out all the stops. The sods want to poke at the defense force, that's fine. You hurt someone dear to me, and I'll tear that damn smug smile off his face and hang it on a wall.
I'm going to make them pay for this. Every single one of them, and I'm not resting until that bastard's head is sitting on a pike on the front of Fort Carthage.
God have mercy on him, because I sure as hell won't.
Data Upload - File 3.30.825A.S. - Entry 14: Journey Hoo, boy.. this is gonna be a good update.
We left Delta behind.. again.. I'm contemplating sending a message to Alesia to see if she's doing okay after the extension got bombarded, but frankly I'd rather give her a day or two before I go sending things like that. I took the Ahkmim back out to Rheinland, holing up the Bundschuh there on Bruchsal for a short while. Afterwards, we dove into the Westerwald on the west end of the system, where we surprisingly met up with Honya. A shame she didn't get to help defend the extension, but then again it would've spared her the grief.
She accompanied us into the cloud, the same minefield from back-when still there. Couldn't get a reading inside, though, but it's nice to know the Rheinlanders are still using alien tech for their own good. Afterwards we went on the rather lengthy trip from Frankfurt to Inverness, Honya and I chatting along the way, even giving me a decent idea for a Ahkmim rename.. since the name's already known.. Montu would both be more fitting and would give the old girl more camo to hide behind.
Once we arrived in Inverness, Nodoka and I had a chat after we dropped of Honya. Seems she's really going all in with this endeavor of hers, and frankly I wish her luck. A ship like that's just screaming for attention.
I'll connect the black-box logs, since I know Kryn reads these... and I know you love reading the old logs after I delete them, don't you Kryn?
[30.03.2018 10:33:21] CV-Ahkmim: V: Evening, Yorha.
[30.03.2018 10:33:35] -Yorha-: ?: Eh? Vex-san.. where..
[30.03.2018 10:34:15] CV-Ahkmim: V: Far end of the moon.
[30.03.2018 10:35:17] -Yorha-: ?: ...This is very weird..
[30.03.2018 10:35:35] CV-Ahkmim: V: The Ahkmim being out of the Edge?
[30.03.2018 10:35:41] CV-Ahkmim: V: Or us hiding?
[30.03.2018 10:35:52] -Yorha-: ?: I assume you're cloaked..?
[30.03.2018 10:35:58] CV-Ahkmim: V: Mhm.
[30.03.2018 10:36:18] -Yorha-: ?: It would be wise to secure and head into the westerwald, would it not?
[30.03.2018 10:36:28] CV-Ahkmim: V: Was my plan either way.
[30.03.2018 10:37:31] CV-Ahkmim: V: Now where is this minefield...
[30.03.2018 10:38:21] CV-Ahkmim: V: Hrm...
[30.03.2018 10:38:24] -Yorha-: ?: Eeh? AESIR?
[30.03.2018 10:38:35] CV-Ahkmim: V: Jesus Christ..
[30.03.2018 10:38:55] -Yorha-: These mines.. they're Nomadic in Origin..
[30.03.2018 10:39:44] CV-Ahkmim: V: Seems even Rheinland isn't afraid of reusing Nomad tech for their own ends...
[30.03.2018 10:40:05] -Yorha-: ... Is this the.. Hanamura-sensei told me about this place, I think.. it was the same complex that Edison trent and the..
[30.03.2018 10:40:13] CV-Ahkmim: V: Yup..
[30.03.2018 10:40:19] -Yorha-: bundschuh penetrated..
[30.03.2018 10:40:42] CV-Ahkmim: V: Botzler gave himself to destroy th ewhole installation..
[30.03.2018 10:46:17] -Yorha-: Itai.. Didn't expect MND to roll up with a gunboat there..
[30.03.2018 10:48:56] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Thanks for picking me up, Vex-san. Hanamura-sensei would have been worried if I had went missing..
[30.03.2018 10:49:38] CV-Ahkmim: V: Anytime. Friggin' Rheinlanders are known fo rjust coming out of the woodwork, so I guess we should've expeced it..
[30.03.2018 10:51:02] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I was supposed to head to Freeport 11 and check on how things were.. Something along the lines of a distress signal came up
[30.03.2018 10:51:07] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: there recently.
[30.03.2018 10:51:26] CV-Ahkmim: V: You were too late for that.
[30.03.2018 10:52:00] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Oh no.. please.. don't tell me 11 is..
[30.03.2018 10:52:39] CV-Ahkmim: V: 11's fine.. Order steamrolled Alesia's extension, though..
[30.03.2018 10:52:54] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Wait.. that person again.. did she not learn her lesson the last time?
[30.03.2018 10:53:27] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I'm all for resisting the idiot known as Michal Golanski, but.. they're putting innocents at risk as a result.
[30.03.2018 10:55:20] CV-Ahkmim: V: The first time was because she wanted to run her own station.
[30.03.2018 10:56:02] CV-Ahkmim: V: Only lesson learned this time around is that neither the Confederation nor the Order cares that people want to try and-
[30.03.2018 10:56:10] CV-Ahkmim: -make the Omicrons hospitable.
[30.03.2018 10:58:22] CV-Ahkmim: V: Hudson or Bering.. seems like Rheinland and Liberty are still only connected by the two..
[30.03.2018 10:59:35] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I see... *sigh* I guess Hanamura-sensei was wrong about the CoF, then..
[30.03.2018 11:00:42] CV-Ahkmim: V: Maybe, maybe not.. they just didn't seem to care that the Order was again violating their No-Fire-Zone for another-
[30.03.2018 11:00:48] CV-Ahkmim: -modular station.
[30.03.2018 11:00:49] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: it would be best to go through Hudson. We don't want to gain the attention of those scum who captured the freeport there.
[30.03.2018 11:01:07] CV-Ahkmim: V: 'Scum'?
[30.03.2018 11:01:58] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: They captured a Freeport and destabilized the entire region without care or concern for the locals other than getting them off
[30.03.2018 11:02:02] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: the station.
[30.03.2018 11:02:52] CV-Ahkmim: V: Guess I'll mark it for a cloak fly-by later, then..
[30.03.2018 11:06:58] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: How is... eto... gomen ne.. I forgot her name.. flew the Beshmet... you seemed to have a thing for her..
[30.03.2018 11:07:26] CV-Ahkmim: V: Kryn? She's my XO, but that's more or less where it ends..
[30.03.2018 11:08:00] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Oh.. uhm.. gomen.. I just had assumed.. err..
[30.03.2018 11:08:12] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Speaking of.. I was curious.. what do you think of Hanamura-sensei?
[30.03.2018 11:08:24] CV-Ahkmim: V: Good friend, very capable.
[30.03.2018 11:08:43] CV-Ahkmim: V: Still got a godly bust.
[30.03.2018 11:08:59] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: *Blushes*
[30.03.2018 11:11:16] CV-Ahkmim: V: I'm contemplating chaging the Ahkmim's callsign to throw 'lanski off..
[30.03.2018 11:11:30] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Hontoni? What did you have in mind?
[30.03.2018 11:12:02] CV-Ahkmim: V: Was going for something relevant, but still something an Order ship would be named..
[30.03.2018 11:12:26] Preparing to cloak...
[30.03.2018 11:13:43] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Hmm.. what about..
[30.03.2018 11:14:04] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Montu.. the Egyptian God of War?
[30.03.2018 11:14:56] CV-Ahkmim: V: Wasn't on the route anyway.
[30.03.2018 11:14:56] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Or Sekhmet? The Goddess of War and Healing?
[30.03.2018 11:15:19] CV-Ahkmim: V: Sekhmet's already taken by those clowns...
[30.03.2018 11:15:28] CV-Ahkmim: V: Montu wasn't, though.. last I checked..
[30.03.2018 11:15:32] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Oh.. that's right..
[30.03.2018 11:15:39] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I think I saw it once..
[30.03.2018 11:15:52] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: gomen ne. But yes.. Montu would suffice in this case.
[30.03.2018 11:16:19] CV-Ahkmim: V: I like it.. I'll run it by Kryn later.
[30.03.2018 11:17:28] CV-Ahkmim: V: You too.
[30.03.2018 11:19:01] CV-Ahkmim: V: Guess I can cross that Kernsick guy off my list as well..
[30.03.2018 11:19:13] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Eh? Kernsick?
[30.03.2018 11:19:23] CV-Ahkmim: V: Whatever his name was. The Coalitioner.
[30.03.2018 11:20:19] CV-Ahkmim: V: Saw his buddies laying Alesia's extention to waste alongside those cretins.
[30.03.2018 11:21:01] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Oh.. Krsnik-san.
[30.03.2018 11:21:07] CV-Ahkmim: V: Yeah. Him.
[30.03.2018 11:21:32] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I don't really like him that much..
[30.03.2018 11:21:52] CV-Ahkmim: V: His buddies made my shit-list today..
[30.03.2018 11:22:00] CV-Ahkmim: V: He's lucky he's pragmatic as hell.
[30.03.2018 11:25:29] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Coalition are looked unfavorably by me and Hanamura-sensei.. as well as Bride-san.. no one on the Seraphine likes them,
[30.03.2018 11:25:33] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: to tell the truth.
[30.03.2018 11:26:19] CV-Ahkmim: V: Used to be I just left them be unless they were infected.. Standard protocol..
[30.03.2018 11:26:41] CV-Ahkmim: V: After today, I'm very hard-pressed to treat them like any of 'lanski's pigs..
[30.03.2018 11:27:19] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: I do not blame you, Vex-san.
[30.03.2018 11:28:33] CV-Ahkmim: V: Finally.. final approach to Invergorden..
[30.03.2018 11:29:09] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: Do you know where the Klaksvik Wreckage is?
[30.03.2018 11:29:21] CV-Ahkmim: V: I don't.. actually
[30.03.2018 11:29:42] CV-Ahkmim: V: All I know is where my Sabre is parked..
[30.03.2018 11:29:52] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: H: head into the West Avelmore cloud.
[30.03.2018 11:30:06] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: Bottom left of Sector C5.
[30.03.2018 11:34:31] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Greetings, Vex.
[30.03.2018 11:34:43] CV-Ahkmim: V: Nodoka. Hiya.
[30.03.2018 11:35:32] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: There we go.. Pardon the mess, we moved in when it was like this. *chuckles*
[30.03.2018 11:36:20] CV-Ahkmim: V: No worry. It's better than Sicca.
[30.03.2018 11:37:04] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I hear Honya got a face full of Marinenrichtendiensts' hot plasma. Thank you for bringing her back alive.
[30.03.2018 11:37:39] CV-Ahkmim: V: I wouldn't dare leave the poor girl out in space.
[30.03.2018 11:37:55] CV-Ahkmim: V: Shame they thought her fighter was a bigger priority than the Ahkmim..
[30.03.2018 11:38:12] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Exactly. People are short on brains and reasoning in this day and age, sadly.
[30.03.2018 11:38:51] CV-Ahkmim: V: Amen to that.
[30.03.2018 11:39:17] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Did you hear about the Cultists attacking in New Tokyo?
[30.03.2018 11:40:13] CV-Ahkmim: V: No. Damn..
[30.03.2018 11:40:45] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: They've been getting gutsy as of late. First in Omega-3, then Omicron Delta, and finally in New Tokyo.
[30.03.2018 11:41:10] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I don't know who I should focus on, Golly or them.
[30.03.2018 11:41:51] CV-Ahkmim: V: 'lanski'll tear apart Sirius if we give him time.. but these Cultists seem to be dong just that right now..
[30.03.2018 11:43:57] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Seems to be the case. Also, looks like Golly updated the Order vessel registry. You're squawking a invalid ident.
[30.03.2018 11:44:20] CV-Ahkmim: // tmw an admin is telling a non-admin that their unofficial faction sucks and that they suck
[30.03.2018 11:44:45] CV-Ahkmim: V: Yeah.. frankly, it can be invalid all it wants.
[30.03.2018 11:45:10] CV-Ahkmim: V: It's still my ship, and the fact that he's struck her from the registry only solidifies my case.
[30.03.2018 11:45:24] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: that usually means one of two things - You're an infectee, or you're running from Golly. The former is obviously false, and
[30.03.2018 11:45:32] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I'd be an idiot to not already know the former.
[30.03.2018 11:46:14] CV-Ahkmim: V: I'd be dead if it were the former.
[30.03.2018 11:46:24] CV-Ahkmim: V: I've already toldKryn to off me if I do get squided.
[30.03.2018 11:47:16] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I informed Honya to do it, but..
[30.03.2018 11:47:37] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I'd kill myself before they'd have the chance.
[30.03.2018 11:48:07] CV-Ahkmim: V: Same.
[30.03.2018 11:48:33] CV-Ahkmim: V: I'm contemplating adding a failsafe protocol to the VI..
[30.03.2018 11:49:10] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Tell me, Vex.. do you know anything about blood? When I was caught by one of Golly's boys when I went flying into Nomspace..
[30.03.2018 11:49:23] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: They said I was lacking the CC5 Protein.
[30.03.2018 11:49:55] CV-Ahkmim: V: Erh.. no.
[30.03.2018 11:50:11] CV-Ahkmim: V: Have you tried looking it up?
[30.03.2018 11:51:01] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I did. Said something about it being a additional protein to reinforce the immune system.
[30.03.2018 11:51:10] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: That's all I could find, though.
[30.03.2018 11:52:57] CV-Ahkmim: V: Yeah.. got no idea, then..
[30.03.2018 11:54:11] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Anywho.. I'm having to work things out on building the Seraphine into the new model.
[30.03.2018 11:54:32] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Alexei gave the greenlight for the refit. Superstructure is intact.
[30.03.2018 11:54:43] CV-Ahkmim: V: Nice.
[30.03.2018 11:55:24] CV-Ahkmim: V: Kind of interested in seeing what she'll look like post-operation..
[30.03.2018 11:56:01] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N:We're still waiting on Nerva to get us the design.. I don't think the Junkers will want a Aquilon sitting at their Shipyard
[30.03.2018 11:56:06] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: just sitting there.
[30.03.2018 11:56:31] CV-Ahkmim: V: Yeah.. still, gonna be interesting seeing it once she's don.
[30.03.2018 11:57:15] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I bet you'll love it. The ideas I threw to Nerva were to improve the existing design whilst revising it.
[30.03.2018 11:58:19] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: We'll be shifting to a Quantum-AESA array rather than this huge-ass radar on the top. If I had a credit for every time I wou
[30.03.2018 11:58:41] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: ld hear the ship computer declare "radar failure" in combat, I'd be a multi-billionaire.
[30.03.2018 11:59:09] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: That and the large oversized flight decks on the sides and the "wings" are going to be removed and the wings replaced with
[30.03.2018 11:59:19] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: a new setup.
[30.03.2018 12:00:28] CV-Ahkmim: V: Nice.. never was a big fan of the flaring bits those guys on Livadia seems the slap on there..
[30.03.2018 12:01:39] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Neither was I. We've got some functional ideas in mind too. Installing some Drop-pod bays on the bottom of the ship for
[30.03.2018 12:01:47] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: dropping to a planet.
[30.03.2018 12:02:33] CV-Ahkmim: V: So basically making that thing the coup-de-gras of military porn.
[30.03.2018 12:03:45] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Precisely.
[30.03.2018 12:04:23] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Combine that with a Dreadnought powerplant and weapons system, and Seraphine will be both lusted after and loathed.
[30.03.2018 12:05:07] CV-Ahkmim: V: Damn...
[30.03.2018 12:05:53] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Oh.. and, for the sake of personnel's enjoyment.. we're taking components from a Shukensha to build up the ship so that it's
[30.03.2018 12:06:30] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: crew isn't cooped up in a dreary mess of a ship all day.
[30.03.2018 12:08:25] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Think of it more of a flying fortress-city than a dread.
[30.03.2018 12:09:22] CV-Ahkmim: V: Sounds lik ea mobile colony, honestly..
[30.03.2018 12:09:33] CV-Ahkmim: V: Minus the edgy biodomes..
[30.03.2018 12:10:20] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: I never really liked the Nephilim, to be honest.
[30.03.2018 12:10:44] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: It was too bulky, and most of the idiots in Zoner society nowadays use it as a Capital ship.
[30.03.2018 12:11:10] CV-Ahkmim: V: Could probably colonize a new sector with how many there are..
[30.03.2018 12:12:09] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Oh definitely, but people keep flinging them into battles without realizing that's not what they were designed for.
[30.03.2018 12:13:02] CV-Ahkmim: V: Size begets thought.
[30.03.2018 12:14:20] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Mhm.
[30.03.2018 12:14:53] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: Anywho - if anything ever happens to the Akhmim, don't hesitate to come to us.
[30.03.2018 12:15:17] CV-Ahkmim: V: Will do. And likewise for the Seraphine.
[30.03.2018 12:15:58] CS_Abdicant_Seraphine: N: We've got company on scanners.. you might want to get going.
Data Upload - File 4.29.825A.S. - Entry 14: Cultists and Separatists Almost a month since the last update. Things got fairly hairy, but nothing the girl couldn't handle.
After a few hours of fiddling with the ship's transponder, Kryn and I, with a little help from Honya, got the Ahkmim's registry to display the new ident tags. 'Montu'. Fitting, and stylish.
Mostly been hunkering for the last month, tagging along with Auxo routes and patrols, investigating any possible infestee clues or the odd happening. The apparent Cultist menace which keeps popping up apparently made it's mark in Tau-117 last week. The girl's first piece of real action since the name change. Seemed they were trying to operate in the area, a staging point or something. It didn't really get far until Auxo, the Montu and even Kalh showed up. A damn shame, but hey. Auxo does what Auxo wants.
Also had a talk with some of those separatist guys. Well, one of them. Other was some freelancer. They didn't say much, but definitely seemed adamant about the Navy and LSF being infected. Was proven even more when some LSF pilot showed up.
Didn't make much sense to take action, at least until that Order guy got involved. Shame about him, but he gets his paychecks from 'lanski, so it was probably best to put him out of his misery.
Since then, things've been pretty quiet. Going to keep an ear open in case John picks up something. Bretonia's contemplating, but I'm hoping John picks up something.
Data Upload - File 5.07.825A.S. - Entry 15: Kalh Been a waiting game really, but at least it's finally happened.
Kalh's out of Liberty. Ever since his release, I've been waiting for the actual changes, but it seems Liberty finally gave him the boot. A shame, really, since if what these seps are saying, he might've been their last hope.
Commandeered a repair ship from Kryn today as well. A 'beneficiary' present, though frankly she holds more sway with the crew than I do. I've set it over (because yes, it is remotely controlled) Kalh's way, since he'll probably get more use out of it than I will. Just means that either myself or Kryn will have to be at the helm of it's remote if it's to work. Sucks, but eh. Could be worse.
I'm going to try sending these separatists a comm, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. If Kalh's working with them, than they honestly can't be that bad. Until then, I guess it's business as usual.
Data Upload - File 5.14.825A.S. - Entry 16: Recon An interesting day, frankly. The Liberty Navy sure knows how to host a party.
Tried to work out a few things with Kalh about our next moves, and we get reports of a large Naval incursion force bowling towards the Freeport. Now, I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't some blatant show of force, but the fact that they rolled up to the station with capital ships galore only showed that they weren't all right in the head.
Kalh and I, as well as what Unioner and Seps there were, had to fall back, eventually ending up far from the station.
Funnily enough, on the near horizon he pointed out a small 'Bustard'-shaped thing sitting out in the field. Upon close inspection, we noticed it was another one of those cultist ships, though it seemed this one had only recently arrived, not yet defended completely.. also seemed to have taken a small bit of damage, probably from the Unioners.
Regardless, the Harmony showed up, and with the combined firepower of three heavily armed and armored warships, the poor thing was torn the shreds.
Sucks for them, but hey. Neat gubs to be had.
Data Upload - File 5.19.825A.S. - Entry 17: Scarabaeus Kalh had an idea. Now, granted I helped, but really I guess it's all him these days.
In light of the Order's continuing impetuous rampage, we've since left Bering. I always thought as a rule of thumb that if the Core's there, the Order's not far behind, and the last thing I need is not only 'lanski's dim-witted subjects breathing down my neck, but Harmony and the Union chastising Kalh and I for bringing a ruthless dictator to their front door.
Kepler looks out of the way, and while, yes, it is dark as 'lanski's skull interior, I got a good feeling here. Nebulas for cover, Ames for supplies, and if they ever get antsy about us, we'll just drop the 'it's better than dealing with Golanski' line too.
Perfect storm.
Best hope though is that, for both ours and their sake, that we get respite from everything, time to grow, rethink our strategy and push back.
I admit it sounds kind of weird, but there's other people using weirder names. Sirius is like this these days anyway, so it's not really out of place.
Guess I'll cut it here. Things to do, people to talk to.
Data Upload - File 5.21.825A.S. - Entry 18: Prowler A short update, but it's worth it.
I met an Overwatch captain in Bering yesterday, some self-righteous brat still thinking they're the people's holy crusaders. Spent a good few minutes lecturing them on the educational value of having a pair of working eyes, not to mention a valid Neural Net address, and I'm frankly going to post it here so I can keep entertaining myself.
[21.05.2018 02:51:58] Vex.Upsilon: Hmm.
[21.05.2018 02:51:58] LPI-Una.Kidman[O]: Damnit, people are coming.
[21.05.2018 02:52:01] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Come on lass, you can do it. Eject that thing, be rid of it."
[21.05.2018 02:52:06] Vex.Upsilon: Order...
[21.05.2018 02:52:10] LPI-Una.Kidman[O]: I can't do it!
[21.05.2018 02:52:20] LPI-Una.Kidman[O]: I'm sorry! Agh!
[21.05.2018 02:52:25] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Well, I cannot protect you from the LSF."
[21.05.2018 02:52:43] Vex.Upsilon: Tell me, Captain.
[21.05.2018 02:52:48] Vex.Upsilon: What brings you out here?
[21.05.2018 02:53:02] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "That is not of your concern, civilian."
[21.05.2018 02:53:05] Vex.Upsilon: Pfff.
[21.05.2018 02:53:10] Vex.Upsilon: It's completely my concern.
[21.05.2018 02:53:17] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "I am afraid not."
[21.05.2018 02:53:35] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Well, we have formed a group, you can find a recruitment page on the Neural net
[21.05.2018 02:53:40] Vex.Upsilon: Anyone who works for anyone I'd consider 'possibly infested' is completely my concern.
[21.05.2018 02:53:58] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Possibly infested? Are you completely daft?"
[21.05.2018 02:53:59] Vex.Upsilon: And 'lanski is absolutely 'possibly infested'.
[21.05.2018 02:54:05] Vex.Upsilon: Nope. Just aware.
[21.05.2018 02:54:15] Vex.Upsilon: Maybe it's you who's daft.
[21.05.2018 02:54:24] Vex.Upsilon: You do work for the wrong people after all.
[21.05.2018 02:54:42] Lewis.O'leary: pretty interesting...order ship around here
[21.05.2018 02:54:47] Vex.Upsilon: Indeed.
[21.05.2018 02:55:01] Vex.Upsilon: Did you know they threaten to nuke planets now?
[21.05.2018 02:55:12] Vex.Upsilon: Interesting how people change sides.
[21.05.2018 02:55:27] Vex.Upsilon: Humanity's protectors to humanity's bane.
[21.05.2018 02:55:39] Lewis.O'leary: sound like you talking about the core *laughs*
[21.05.2018 02:55:44] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "I get the feeling you are one of those fake propaganda machines that has been bribed to spew lies by those fanatics from -
[21.05.2018 02:55:47] Order|CV-Prowler: Auxesia."
[21.05.2018 02:55:53] Vex.Upsilon: Heh.
[21.05.2018 02:55:56] Vex.Upsilon: Nah.
[21.05.2018 02:56:05] Vex.Upsilon: I just know firsthand how broken the Overwatch is.
[21.05.2018 02:56:21] Vex.Upsilon: I'm impressed you don't know my name right off the bat.
[21.05.2018 02:56:23] Lewis.O'leary: auxesia....another bunch of triggers happy
[21.05.2018 02:56:45] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: She scoffs. "I have a feeling I know you, but I cant put affiliation to name."
[21.05.2018 02:56:49] Vex.Upsilon: The name 'Ahkmim' ring any bells?
[21.05.2018 02:57:00] Vex.Upsilon: I'd honestly prefer if you knew who I was.
[21.05.2018 02:57:16] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Anyhow, Dak'el, we have set the Tarrafal as our rally point. If you moor there you'll find more of us
[21.05.2018 02:57:21] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Oh right. That treacherous Geb that sided with the Core, if I recall correctly."
[21.05.2018 02:57:23] Vex.Upsilon: That way it'll be easier for you to say when you're picking sides once I prove Glolanski is infected.
[21.05.2018 02:57:30] Vex.Upsilon: Nah. Not with the Core.
[21.05.2018 02:57:49] Vex.Upsilon: Core's good, though. At least they don't threaten to nuke billions of people Sirius-wide.
[21.05.2018 02:58:12] Vex.Upsilon: Or siege a station simply because you thought it was illegal.
[21.05.2018 02:58:20] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Nah, they just threaten to enslave billions of people all over the Omicrons."
[21.05.2018 02:58:21] Vex.Upsilon: Laws you shouldn't have.
[21.05.2018 02:58:34] ZM|Recruiter: ?: I've personally seen the Core 'shake hands' with AI that had just destroyed a Zoner base...nuff said there
[21.05.2018 02:58:37] Vex.Upsilon: From what I've seen, they're pretty intent on providing safe harbor.
[21.05.2018 02:58:40] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Not to mention that they sieged a freeport, twice, with nuclear weapons."
[21.05.2018 02:58:50] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Sorry, couldn't help but overhere your transmission
[21.05.2018 02:58:50] Vex.Upsilon: Meh.
[21.05.2018 02:58:57] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Call them the good guys?"
[21.05.2018 02:59:03] Vex.Upsilon: Nothing tops threatening Gran Canaria, pal.
[21.05.2018 02:59:15] Vex.Upsilon: Sorry, mate. 'lanski screwed you on that
[21.05.2018 02:59:17] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Oh yeah, not sure you heard me Dak'el, but our rally point is the Carrier Tarrafal
[21.05.2018 02:59:27] Dak'el: Rodger
[21.05.2018 02:59:36] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "I'm afraid that if you call the Core 'good', someone must've dropped a mine on you a few times too often."
[21.05.2018 02:59:41] Vex.Upsilon: Y'know, Zoners. If you all stand for the Zoner way of life, you might wish to nuke this one before he nukes your planets.
[21.05.2018 02:59:49] Lewis.O'leary: Setting course back to Tarrafal vicinity
[21.05.2018 03:00:06] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "If you start issueing threats, miss Upsilon, this won't end pretty for you."
[21.05.2018 03:00:12] Vex.Upsilon: It never does.
[21.05.2018 03:00:21] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Then you are used to it."
[21.05.2018 03:00:22] Vex.Upsilon: That's why Smith's got a bruise on his face.
[21.05.2018 03:00:50] Vex.Upsilon: You are aware that 'lanksi allied with Nomads, right?
[21.05.2018 03:00:52] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Hey, the Order spent hundreds of millions on an NEMP to take out those very AI we were fighting
[21.05.2018 03:00:55] Vex.Upsilon: Actual, full on Nomads.
[21.05.2018 03:00:58] Vex.Upsilon: Y'know.
[21.05.2018 03:01:03] Vex.Upsilon: The things he's supposed to kill.
[21.05.2018 03:01:05] Vex.Upsilon: On sight.
[21.05.2018 03:01:05] ZM|Recruiter: ?: And the Core intercepted it!
[21.05.2018 03:01:16] ZM|Recruiter: ?: At least they tried ...
[21.05.2018 03:01:20] Vex.Upsilon: AI aren't that bad.
[21.05.2018 03:01:30] Vex.Upsilon: I have one on my ship.
[21.05.2018 03:01:50] ZM|Recruiter: ?: the self determining ones can get kinda wierd, and pissed off *laughs*
[21.05.2018 03:01:54] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "So do I, but this one ain't threatening to kill off a station full of civilians."
[21.05.2018 03:02:13] Vex.Upsilon: Neither is mine.
[21.05.2018 03:02:23] Vex.Upsilon: 'lanski's would, though.
[21.05.2018 03:02:30] Vex.Upsilon: Programmed to I'll bet.
[21.05.2018 03:02:58] Vex.Upsilon: I'll bet it's his fault Toledo's gone.
[21.05.2018 03:03:13] Vex.Upsilon: So add those people to the counter.
[21.05.2018 03:03:28] Vex.Upsilon: Of just how many lives 'humanity's protectors' have not protected.
[21.05.2018 03:03:43] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "I saw Toledo burn myself. If you ever insult its name again like you just did, I'll make sure you'll eat through a straw -
[21.05.2018 03:03:49] Order|CV-Prowler: for the rest of your miserable life."
[21.05.2018 03:03:56] Vex.Upsilon: You think I'd talk about my old home willy-nilly?
[21.05.2018 03:04:02] Vex.Upsilon: I was there, you twat.
[21.05.2018 03:04:27] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Then you should know better than let your petty differences with someone cloud your judgement."
[21.05.2018 03:04:48] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "It was the Nomads that burned the planet, after the Core wiped out our defenses."
[21.05.2018 03:04:49] Vex.Upsilon: You mean that Golanski kills people to further his own goals.
[21.05.2018 03:04:52] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Not Golanski."
[21.05.2018 03:04:53] Vex.Upsilon: Threatens innocents.
[21.05.2018 03:05:09] Vex.Upsilon: Defies his own god damned pledge.
[21.05.2018 03:05:15] Vex.Upsilon: Am I supposed to overlook that?
[21.05.2018 03:05:22] Vex.Upsilon: I'd rather hang.
[21.05.2018 03:05:41] Vex.Upsilon: At least then I won't have to see him tear Sirius apart.
[21.05.2018 03:06:05] Vex.Upsilon: And you can bet your ass if I had my ship here.
[21.05.2018 03:06:09] Vex.Upsilon: Your ass would be grass.
[21.05.2018 03:06:27] Vex.Upsilon: You lot follow him, his word and every single decree he gives out.
[21.05.2018 03:06:32] Vex.Upsilon: You're like dogs.
[21.05.2018 03:06:41] Vex.Upsilon: You know what happens to dogs who follow someone in to hell?
[21.05.2018 03:06:43] Vex.Upsilon: They die.
[21.05.2018 03:06:50] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "I could do myself a favor and block the channel, or just blow you up. But I cannot be bothered."
[21.05.2018 03:07:03] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Spout your nonsense. It goes in one ear and out the other."
[21.05.2018 03:07:09] Vex.Upsilon: You're lost.
[21.05.2018 03:07:40] Vex.Upsilon: I'll be more than happy to mortar your hull to dents then. If anything, for humanity's sake.
[21.05.2018 03:07:57] Vex.Upsilon: You've all lost your way. Every single one of you.
[21.05.2018 03:08:15] Vex.Upsilon: You're no better than the Nomads.
[21.05.2018 03:08:27] Vex.Upsilon: And I'll gladly treat you all as such.
[21.05.2018 03:08:44] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "For the love of god, can you just shut the hell up?"
[21.05.2018 03:08:50] Vex.Upsilon: Make me, punk.
[21.05.2018 03:08:57] Vex.Upsilon: I dare you.
[21.05.2018 03:08:58] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Nobody gives a flying frak about what you are yelling."
[21.05.2018 03:09:05] Vex.Upsilon: You should.
[21.05.2018 03:09:09] Vex.Upsilon: You're the traitor to humanity.
[21.05.2018 03:09:33] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "You know, manouvering sideways wont really help you get away from 3 torpedoes, tipped with a nuclear payload."
[21.05.2018 03:09:37] ZM|Recruiter: *coughs* ?: yes, well...I think I should be off back to the Tarrafal. We've got a lot to organize, recruits to process, etc
[21.05.2018 03:09:40] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Squids love it, I bet you do too."
[21.05.2018 03:09:51] Vex.Upsilon: I eat them for breakfast.
[21.05.2018 03:10:19] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "Nukes?"
[21.05.2018 03:10:33] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "No wonder your brain is so frak'd up."
[21.05.2018 03:10:42] Vex.Upsilon: Just means I'm durable.
[21.05.2018 03:10:43] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: "All that radiation be gettin' to ye girl."
[21.05.2018 03:10:48] Vex.Upsilon: Pff..
[21.05.2018 03:10:59] Vex.Upsilon: Eat a brick.
[21.05.2018 03:11:10] Vex.Upsilon: It's all you're good for anyway.
[21.05.2018 03:11:47] Vex.Upsilon: I'll mark you down, though.
[21.05.2018 03:11:50] Vex.Upsilon: And don't worry.
[21.05.2018 03:11:54] Vex.Upsilon: I'll try to salvage the hull.
[21.05.2018 03:11:58] ZM|Recruiter: ?: Best of luck folks, watch out for Xenos and Seps!
[21.05.2018 03:12:06] Order|CV-Prowler: ?: She shakes her head. "Right, thank you for the information, Zoner. Thats all I needed to know."
Data Upload - File 5.30.825A.S. - Entry 19: Inspiration Been a solid week, and then some, since my last update. I've been hanging around the Freeport in Bering, chatting with the locals and helping Kalh whenever he gets shot at, since the guy's like one massive retard magnet.
It hasn't all been about him, though. I have seen those Coalition battlecruisers that do tend to pop up every now and then. The cannons on those things.. whew. Heavy, and brought a thought to my head.
The Montu's not going to be hauling any fighters anytime soon, and my fighter's not really small enough to fit in the launching silo anyway. Maybe I can retrofit the ship with a couple forward guns. Would give me an edge over literally any other ship, except the obvious.. but still. Imagine, the look on 'lanski's face when I'm barreling in, gunning his idiots down and smashing his windows in with even more firepower than just mortars.
Would probably eat up the drive core's power, though.. wonder how much I can do to the Montu to make her feel like the most badass warship in the Colonies..
Data Upload - File 5.30.825A.S. - Entry 20: Rheinland Maybe not the greatest plan in existence, but Kalh and I went through Rheinland today. Didn't really have any reason for him, but I need to tally up their readiness level, like I do with every house.. or at least, try to. Didn't get everything mapped, though, so I'll need to head back in with the cloak up and nab the rest of them.
From what I could tell, they're fairly well set. Their warships are sturdy, tough. That same Rheinland twang to them that gives Gallic Valors a run for their money. Only thing that went south really was that Buro Director's insistence that we leave. Joke's on him, but maybe I'm being too rude. He is doing his job, even if it means impeding his own progress.
We scanned up the rest of the systems, logged what we could before heading back to Bering. I've got the logged images so far, but as I said we're going to be heading back out tomorrow to get another good, more detailed look. Kalh's overcaution is too impedious for my style sometimes.
Data Upload - File 7.09.825A.S. - Entry 21: Kalh, Kusari and the Big Leagues I'll be honest here, which since it's a personal log means very, very honest.
I'm personally not seeing why I teamed up with Kalh anymore. I can see the overall arching goal, and his ship being a good tool versus the glamorously shiny forces of evil, but lately it's just not beaming to me why I'm keeping tabs with him.
He always seems to be looking for some reason to get at Liberty, which, I'll post here (since it is a personal log), I never had any intention of shooting. The folks I meet don't seem bothered, and even the simple things like their actions against both myself and him seems warranted as more than just 'oh, these two shoot infected, they wanna purge me!'
I had Kryn do a lap of Kusari for readiness checks. They don't seem nearly as well prepared as Rheinland did, but I suppose that's understandable as I'm fairly certain they got absolutely hammered by those dirks up north. I'll send them a communication seeing if they'll accept support from the Montu. No doubt they're in no position to refuse. If they do, then I'll attribute it to rational human stubbornness.
Honestly, with how things are going these days (and they seem to be going pretty crap), things are looking up. Aside from Kalh. God knows what goes through that knucklehead's... head.. Still. He's not infected, vowed to shoot 'em, and as far as I'm aware isn't insane.. yet.
Who know's. Maybe I'm completely out of my rocker. One thing's for damn sure.
