Mission directives have changed. Effective immediately, your orders are as follows:
Code:
Primary Objectives:
Eliminate any/all foreign forces or civilians on the Rheinland front (Texas, Bering, Hudson)
Eliminate any/all pirates, smugglers on the Rheinland front (Texas, Bering, Hudson) excluding Separatist forces until further notice
Eliminate any Liberty Police Inc. forces on the Rheinland front (Texas, Bering, Hudson)
Secondary Objectives:
Observe Separatist forces on the Rheinland front (Texas, Bering, Hudson) and document any activities involving third parties you observe
Document loadouts of Separatist forces you encounter, particularly those bearing equipment of non-Liberty Naval or civilian origin.
Tertiary Objectives:
Run border interdiction with Serpentis Wing pilots on the Rheinland front (Texas, Bering, Hudson) when otherwise unoccupied, document cargo point of origin and sale, who it's being shipped by if Libertonian ex. Interspace, independent contractor. Standard procedure for Universal Shipping Inc. is to be observed at all times
I encountered a USI transport by the name of RenRen~Trading hauling slaves in the New York system, stopped by LH~Jaws.
Surprisingly, the Hacker was not after taxing the trader but freeing the slaves. We forced the transport to drop its slaves and saw them safely picked up by a DSE transport and returned to Norfolk Shipyard so they may be returned home.
I found the best end to this situation to be a peaceful parting of ways between myself and the Hacker. I apologize for allowing one of our enemies to live, but he was acting in Liberty's interests this day in this situation. I believed he should be rewarded with the privilege of continuing to draw air for one more.
I'm attaching a communications log of the incident.
[21.08.2018 16:41:25] LH~Jaws.: Hmm.. Sound sabout right for corporate capitalist scum! Where are you headed
[21.08.2018 16:41:26] RenRen~Trading: And Rheinland is currently quite interested in them
[21.08.2018 16:41:29] XA-Phantom.4: "Huh."
[21.08.2018 16:41:40] XA-Phantom.4: "Am I interrupting?"
[21.08.2018 16:41:55] RenRen~Trading: Oh hello, please do join the party
[21.08.2018 16:41:59] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Not at all, move on
[21.08.2018 16:42:00] RenRen~Trading: I'm headed to Stuttgart
[21.08.2018 16:42:10] XA-Phantom.4: "Taking our citizens to Stuttgart for forced labor?"
[21.08.2018 16:42:16] XA-Phantom.4: "Are you that stupid?"
[21.08.2018 16:42:29] RenRen~Trading: If anything these are your enemies
[21.08.2018 16:42:37] XA-Phantom.4: "Who, precisely?"
[21.08.2018 16:42:40] XA-Phantom.4: "The slaves?"
[21.08.2018 16:42:43] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: There we go.. So the Xeno has a concience?
[21.08.2018 16:43:00] XA-Phantom.4: "You tell me, Hacker. We don't support the Maltese and their slavery."
[21.08.2018 16:43:04] XA-Phantom.4: "Which one has less of a conscience?"
[21.08.2018 16:43:31] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: I support myself, the others are.. a neccesity
[21.08.2018 16:43:43] XA-Phantom.4: "A necessity to support greed, perhaps."
[21.08.2018 16:43:49] XA-Phantom.4: "Not a necessity for survival."
[21.08.2018 16:44:04] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Ways and means, ways and means
[21.08.2018 16:44:06] XA-Phantom.4: "Anyway, you."
[21.08.2018 16:44:14] XA-Phantom.4: "Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you for what you're doing."
[21.08.2018 16:44:21] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Hey, he's mine..
[21.08.2018 16:44:21] XA-Phantom.4: "Slavers are trash."
[21.08.2018 16:44:27] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Drop the cargo
[21.08.2018 16:44:30] XA-Phantom.4: "For you to tax and let go?"
[21.08.2018 16:44:35] XA-Phantom.4: "Ooh."
[21.08.2018 16:44:38] XA-Phantom.4: "Imagine that."
[21.08.2018 16:44:55] RenRen~Trading: Would be quite the shame to drop 4500 souls in the void of space, wouldn't it?
[21.08.2018 16:45:12] XA-Phantom.4: "They'd be in pods, not in the vaccuum of space."
[21.08.2018 16:45:14] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: I will have them collected, of course
[21.08.2018 16:45:25] XA-Phantom.4: "Come now, we're not idiots enough to be fooled by your attempt to save your credits."
[21.08.2018 16:45:56] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: It seems you are at an impase, trader
[21.08.2018 16:45:58] RenRen~Trading: That's alright, but who's going to pick them up then?
[21.08.2018 16:46:08] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: No concern of yours, is it?
[21.08.2018 16:46:13] XA-Phantom.4: "Doesn't matter."
[21.08.2018 16:46:22] XA-Phantom.4: "Your concern is whether you're dropping them, or I'm killing you and some of them in the process."
[21.08.2018 16:46:30] XA-Phantom.4: "Which is better than all of them being sentenced to a life of slavery."
[21.08.2018 16:46:43] XA-Phantom.4: "Slavery is worse than death, after all."
[21.08.2018 16:46:53] RenRen~Trading: There's no need to be violent, we're all good business people here
[21.08.2018 16:47:01] XA-Phantom.4: "Do I look like a businessman?"
[21.08.2018 16:47:04] RenRen~Trading: Have at it then
[21.08.2018 16:47:11] XA-Phantom.4: "I will gouge out your eyes and crap in your sockets if need be."
[21.08.2018 16:47:23] XA-Phantom.4: "Very good."
[21.08.2018 16:47:23] RenRen~Trading: Come on then
[21.08.2018 16:47:25] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Good choice
[21.08.2018 16:47:28] XA-Phantom.4: "Now leave, before I kill you anyway."
[21.08.2018 16:47:36] RenRen~Trading: Nice meeting you
[21.08.2018 16:47:39] RenRen~Trading: Have a good one
[21.08.2018 16:47:41] XA-Phantom.4: "Ayyup.
[21.08.2018 16:48:05] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Now, what do we do from here..
[21.08.2018 16:48:16] XA-Phantom.4: "Regarding two enemies meeting eachother?"
[21.08.2018 16:48:20] XA-Phantom.4: "Or arranging a pick-up?"
[21.08.2018 16:48:27] XA-Phantom.4: Pilot, where is your cargo headed? // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:48:33] XA-Phantom.4: We need slaves dropped off at the nearest station.
[21.08.2018 16:48:38] XA-Phantom.4: Freshly liberated.
[21.08.2018 16:48:48] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Regarding the meeting, of course.. the passangers transport is arranged
[21.08.2018 16:48:53] Stormblazer: Colorado
[21.08.2018 16:49:06] XA-Phantom.4: Care to swing back and pick them up when you're done? You passed us at the Texas gate. // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:49:11] XA-Phantom.4: "Well."
[21.08.2018 16:49:24] Stormblazer: Only if you guarantee free passage
[21.08.2018 16:49:28] XA-Phantom.4: "I'm entertained by the notion of parting ways peacefully, as you showed some measure of decency."
[21.08.2018 16:49:40] XA-Phantom.4: Of course. Provided they are sold on the nearest station and not for profit elsewhere. // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:49:49] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: That seems like the most logical conclusion
[21.08.2018 16:50:08] XA-Phantom.4: "I suppose it depends on whether or not you've some cheetos dust crusted superiors to impress, though."
[21.08.2018 16:50:10] Stormblazer: That would be Norfolk I presume?
[21.08.2018 16:50:16] XA-Phantom.4: That it would. // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:50:32] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: *laughs* I dont quite work like that..
[21.08.2018 16:50:32] XA-Phantom.4: "The DSE pilot will be coming back after he sells his cargo in Colorado to pick the slaves up and drop them on Norfolk."
[21.08.2018 16:50:47] XA-Phantom.4: "Nothing personal, but I don't really trust you won't just sell them for yourself."
[21.08.2018 16:50:56] XA-Phantom.4: "Actually, I suppose that is rather personal."
[21.08.2018 16:51:03] XA-Phantom.4: "No offense, then?"
[21.08.2018 16:51:12] Stormblazer: Give me a moment to swing back around
[21.08.2018 16:51:21] XA-Phantom.4: Much obliged, their families will thank you. // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:51:29] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: well, i dont expect to be trusted by an Xeno.. but i have already secured my cargo
[21.08.2018 16:51:48] XA-Phantom.4: "I suppose we'll see if your ship gets here first, then."
[21.08.2018 16:51:55] XA-Phantom.4: "Unless you intend to stop the DSE."
[21.08.2018 16:52:00] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: However, i assume you have a proposal?
[21.08.2018 16:52:14] XA-Phantom.4: "The pilot I contacted will be dropping them off on Norfolk."
[21.08.2018 16:52:24] XA-Phantom.4: "If you truly intend to simply free them, that shouldn't raise issue, should it?"
[21.08.2018 16:53:27] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: You make very good points, i have to admit
[21.08.2018 16:53:56] XA-Phantom.4: "Not all of us are babbling blue-collar workers, you know."
[21.08.2018 16:54:10] Stormblazer: incoming
[21.08.2018 16:54:26] XA-Phantom.4: Copy. // To Stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:54:31] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Really, i have not had the pleasur of yet meeting an Zeno i could get a word in with
[21.08.2018 16:54:35] XA-Phantom.4: "They're right here, pilot."
[21.08.2018 16:54:41] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: IS this your man?
[21.08.2018 16:54:47] XA-Phantom.4: "That it is."
[21.08.2018 16:54:55] Stormblazer: Hold it, Hacker
[21.08.2018 16:55:07] XA-Phantom.4: "What?"
[21.08.2018 16:55:09] Stormblazer: I hate you just as much as you hate me, I jsut want to help those people
[21.08.2018 16:55:14] XA-Phantom.4: "He's not going to touch you."
[21.08.2018 16:55:27] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Buigger off you, i'm not interested in you today
[21.08.2018 16:56:11] XA-Phantom.4: "Consider this a surprisingly pleasant encounter.
[21.08.2018 16:57:00] Stormblazer: The slaves have been set free at Norfolk Shipyard
[21.08.2018 16:57:12] XA-Phantom.4: Much obliged.
[21.08.2018 16:57:17] /givecash stormblazer 1500000
[21.08.2018 16:57:17] You have sent 1.500.000 credits to stormblazer
[21.08.2018 16:57:21] XA-Phantom.4: Your reward.
[21.08.2018 16:58:29] Stormblazer: Sadly with your "friend" camping the Texas gate I won't be able to return on my mission to help rebuild the Munich system
[21.08.2018 16:58:52] XA-Phantom.4: That Hacker is no friend of mine. Yet we parted peacefully for he was also looking out for the slaves.
[21.08.2018 16:59:11] Stormblazer: That's what I figured
[21.08.2018 16:59:21] XA-Phantom.4: I could let much worse people live another day.
[21.08.2018 17:00:03] XA-Phantom.4: You should know better than to invest interest in Rheinland, though.
[21.08.2018 17:00:06] XA-Phantom.4: Munich is not our problem.
Xeno Alliance Member : "Dralis Hemsworth"
Rank : Juvenile
Xeno Alias : "XA-Diamondback"
Subject matter : Hacker in Colorado.
*Securing connection to the xeno network via Ouray*
*Kicks the machine after sitting at 99% for 8 minutes*
*Connection Established, Field Log. A-1*
During the XA-Great.Basin's return from the Omicrons Her captain and crew discovered a hacker on the other side of the kepler hole in Colorado. I was dispatched by Ouray to investigate.
When I arrived they were gone Entering the Keplar anomaly I arrived outside Nome and set a course for Ames, finding the Hacker on his way back to Colorado. Situation Goes as follows.
> Comm ID:Nicholas Stone > Location:Ouray Base, Colorado > Destination ID:Xeno Alliance > Subject:Bering Raid/Patrol > Priority:Hatchling
Howdy ladies and gents.
We rolled out on a little patrol and stumbled up some Rouges and Unioners doing so weird stuff in the rocks. Words were exchange... we took out their gunboat, the rouge blew himself up with Nova Torpedoes, and Black Rock dueled a mouthy fighter pilot with some odd jokes. Afterwards we bugged out back to Ouray. All in all pretty successful.
As per my orders, I was required to sortie from HQ and perform a recon flight around the Coronado system. However while on route and having just entered the Coronado system, I think a corporate patrol nearby must have caught a glimpse of my transponder - seeing as moments later a wing of Hunters swung by and tried to kill me. I was forced to bank hard and retreat in the only free direction, which took me past a rogue installation. I saw my pursuers break pursuit to engage the plethora of criminals behind me and I took my chance to escape and jumped through an anomaly that had showed up on the navigation console.
Much to my dismay however, I had been spat out into the middle of what seemed like nowhere. The asteroid field was thick, inhibited proper sensor scans and it crippled my comms almost entirely. With the appearance of Hacker transponders on the scope, I was certain I'd be engaged under the perception of intrusion and likely buried among the asteroids. However the pilot, whom identified themselves as Vesper Lynd upon inquiry, instead offered to escort me out of the cloud. Seeing my odds as not worth any displays of foolish bravado, I accepted and didn't make any deviations whilst on their wing.
With consent from Command, I informed them of my original mission to reconnoiter the system of Coronado, to which the Hacker once again offered to help with. Naturally, I accepted. Though I was somewhat apprehensive upon the approach of a second Hacker in a heavy bomber, operating under the alias of Elektra King.
Together, they guided me through Coronado and pointed out all key infrastructure. We already know of Camp Lister and the local cluster surrounding Pecos given our recent operations, so I won't go into that. However, I will list sites of importance as follows:
- Sabah shipyard and Planet Yuma - Crucial Colonial infrastructure. Located in grid-square 2-Delta.
- Baffin Jump hole - Transit point. Located in grid-square 4-Bravo.
- Barrier Gate - Independent infrastructure. Located in grid-square 5-Bravo. Seems to be a neutral port of call for anyone with a vested interest in the region. Likely a hive for the underworld. Worth investigation.
- Manchester Jump hole - Transit point. Located in grid-square 6-Charlie. Should be monitored in the event of usage by Bretonian forces or corporate interests. Advise establishment of a local presence if possible for the purpose of interdiction of such vessels.
My personal assessment of the Hackers as partners in future avenues where cooperation is simply necessary and cannot be ruled out, is that while they do seem to suffer from an obvious hubris, they are at their core technical experts, capable of being professional when necessary. This is perhaps the reason they have done so well for themselves and been so efficient at keeping the Rogues under their thumb, while also skirting the line between partnership and enslavement under Malta's influence.
If future operations make cooperation with them necessary, I foresee no complications arising, at least if this cooperation is arranged to occur between the Phantoms and Hacker operatives. I cannot accurately account for the opinion of Serpentis regarding this, but it is likely that they still see the Hackers as pansies incapable of doing their own wet-work. Which is true, to an extent.
It would be prudent to keep them in mind for future operations wherein their skill-set would make them useful partners of convenience. I will now proceed to check the electronics suite on-board my Prosecutor for back-doors in the software. The console is still of their make.
I stumbled upon a Rogue during a patrol in the Alamosa Asteroid Field. The pilot was hiding right outside the Galileo Gate, probably thinking nobody would catch him before he'd find some transport to pirate. I swear there's just more and more filthy Rogues pouring out from that system lately, like rats escaping the sewers. Just as expected, the Rogue got scared like a little kid and fled immediately through the trade lanes. A cat and mouse chase began through the system that eventually ended in Kepler where the pilot vanished from my scanners, most likely by escaping into one of the dark matter clouds.
The chase got my blood pumping so I took a small break at Ames. After having a drink or two, I met up with another XA fella - "Night". Bored as we were, we undocked to find some action. And would you guess, a lone Hacker who for some reason decided he wanted to test his luck showed up not far from Ames. These self-proclaimed "geniuses" seem to lack the braincells to understand when they're stepping on our turf. After a brief chat, we robbed him off some custom made plasma gun, which is apparently effective at blowing holes in stuff. We both wanted to get rid off the Hacker to learn them a lesson, but as current orders at that time were to avoid unnecessary battles with them, we swallowed our pride and told the Hacker to piss off.
Yet another moment of boredom hit us, so me and "Night" decided to split-up. He traveled to the Kansas system while I went back to Colorado. "Night" ended up finding some unknown contact nearby a dark matter cloud, most likely a foreign ship. It disappeared into the cloud, no surprise. Might be worth investigating what goes on in there, as many foreign ships seem to be circulating around it lately.
Colorado was quite empty at the time, so I decided to pay New York a visit. I cut the lane between the Texas Gate and Norfolk and waited until an unlucky Hegemon exited. The Freelancer who piloted it must have panicked since it started firing at my ship after ignoring any attempts of communication. The pilot was dumb enough to mess with the fangs and paid the price of death.
I've docked at Nome for now. The engineers seemed interested in the Hacker Gun, maybe they'll find some use of it.
Kepler:
[14.03.2019 15:02:38] LH~Wardriver: Well fancy that.
[14.03.2019 15:02:54] XA-"Night": That's my line, son.
[14.03.2019 15:03:21] LH~Wardriver: Didn't mean to infringe on your copyright.
[14.03.2019 15:03:27] XA-Lyre: Now what is a hacker doing in Xeno territory.
[14.03.2019 15:03:35] XA-"Night": Hacker.
[14.03.2019 15:03:56] LH~Wardriver: Xeno territory? I admire your gusto, but this is just another system to me.
[14.03.2019 15:04:03] XA-"Night": What business have you got here? Apart from being all the way drugged up.
[14.03.2019 15:04:10] LH~Wardriver: I'm simply patrolling between our bases.
[14.03.2019 15:04:24] XA-"Night": Your bases are in Galileo, not here.
[14.03.2019 15:04:43] XA-Lyre: Kid, you got your head all messed up.
[14.03.2019 15:04:47] LH~Wardriver: Did you miss the part where I said "between"?
[14.03.2019 15:05:05] LH~Wardriver: That implies travelling through systems.
[14.03.2019 15:05:50] LH~Wardriver: Either way...
[14.03.2019 15:05:54] XA-"Night": Right...
[14.03.2019 15:05:56] XA-Lyre: Lissen, fella.
[14.03.2019 15:06:01] XA-Lyre: I want your cardamine.
[14.03.2019 15:06:09] XA-"Night": You what?
[14.03.2019 15:06:11] LH~Wardriver: The audacity!
[14.03.2019 15:06:22] XA-"Night": I wanna destroy that crap.
[14.03.2019 15:06:52] XA-Lyre: You're gonna hand it over.
[14.03.2019 15:06:53] LH~Wardriver: Can I interest you in my portable plasma shotgun instead? I had it custom made on Mactan.
[14.03.2019 15:06:56] XA-Lyre: Or I'll take it from you.
[14.03.2019 15:07:13] LH~Wardriver: Tsk tsk. I don't respond well to threats.
[14.03.2019 15:07:23] XA-"Night": Plasma shotgun?
[14.03.2019 15:07:33] XA-"Night": Hmm, i've always been a fan of weapons myself.
[14.03.2019 15:07:54] LH~Wardriver: Yes, powerful enough to blast a hole in any station's hull, to be used with care.
[14.03.2019 15:08:14] XA-Lyre: Alright, you know what.
[14.03.2019 15:08:17] XA-Lyre: I'm in a good mood today.
[14.03.2019 15:08:28] XA-"Night": Me too.
[14.03.2019 15:08:31] XA-Lyre: Hand over that gun instead, and leave the system.
[14.03.2019 15:08:36] XA-"Night": I'm interested in that shotgun.
[14.03.2019 15:08:39] XA-Lyre: Refuse and you'll hit the hammer.
[14.03.2019 15:08:45] LH~Wardriver: I wouldn't usually just give it away, but seeing as there are hints of warming up in our relations...
[14.03.2019 15:09:11] LH~Wardriver: Again, I don't respond well to threats. But I'll just assume that's because you're really eager to get your hands on it.
[14.03.2019 15:09:19] XA-"Night": As long as you don't screw us over, we will be fine, Hacker.
[14.03.2019 15:09:43] XA-Lyre: Now continue to whatever hell-hole you were going to.
[14.03.2019 15:10:01] XA-Lyre: I don't want to see your face here again.
[14.03.2019 15:10:15] LH~Wardriver: Be careful with that, I'd hate to read the news that you've accidentally caused an explosive decompression somewhere.
[14.03.2019 15:10:26] XA-"Night": Not without a good reason anyway.
[14.03.2019 15:10:47] LH~Wardriver: Farewell, then.
[14.03.2019 15:10:53] XA-Lyre: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
[14.03.2019 15:11:06] LH~Wardriver: Next time you threaten me, I'll have your brains fried.
[14.03.2019 15:11:24] XA-"Night": Details details.
[14.03.2019 15:11:30] XA-Lyre: I will keep that in mind next time I see you, kid.
New York:
[14.03.2019 16:16:54] XA-Lyre: Cut your engines now.
[14.03.2019 16:17:14] XA-Lyre: Lissen fella.
[14.03.2019 16:17:19] XA-Lyre: Don't move an inch.
[14.03.2019 16:17:28] XA-Lyre: If you do I'll tear a hole in your ship.
[14.03.2019 16:17:56] XA-Lyre: Wrong decision.
[14.03.2019 16:17:59] XA-Lyre: Time to die.
[14.03.2019 16:19:50] Death: Space_Nigrutin was put out of action by XA-Lyre (Gun).
Reporting in a very unusual occurrence that recently happened.
I had just departed from Ouray when I got told to meet up with "Retribution". While on a routine patrol it had snapped up some transmissions mentioning a large, unidentified vessel moving through the Texas system. As I showed up to the scene, I almost didn't believe my eyes at first. A large Corsair dreadnought right outside the gate to New York. It didn't show any similarities in its identification code compared to what the Brotherhood ships transmit, so this was most likely an unaffiliated ship.
I gotta give it to the captain and its crew - they sure had some balls to venture this far out from their home. Too bad the captain was a total maniac to think they could enter Liberty just like that. Right as we started firin' at it, some Lane Hackers decided to show up, probably from hearing of the Corsair ship as well with their fancy sensors. There wasn't room for much talk so they joined in to wipe out the dreadnought.
After its destruction, a small ion-storm hit me. I made it out unharmed but the ship suffered some minor damage. Nothin' that can't be repaired though. Kill confirmation has been attached below.
I've still to make up my mind what was more strange; a Corsair warship in Liberty or workin' with the Hackers. I guess we're the ones left to do the dirty work when the Navy aren't around to defend Liberty.

I was departin' from Ouray when I was hailed by a member of the Phantoms, who was out in Cortez chasin' himself a Foreigner vessel. I hauled ass through New York and California to catch up with him out in the middle of nowhere in Cortez 'n sure enough there was a Valor Class Vessel just right there.
It seemed the Phantom had some aid in the fight from a Hacker, but I was ordered to engage and sink the ship either way and I did just that. It took our Nova's some time to wittle down the hull of that massive ship, but in the end we still managed to pop it anyhow. Let me tell ya' that was some fireworks!
On our way back to base, we encountered another Gaul by Curacao, a fighter this time. He didn't waste much time talkin' and neither did we. A small skirmish later saw the demise of another foreign invader, though my guncam malfunctioned right on that.
During our skirmish with that fighter, a Hunter gunboat showed up right there next to us! He wasn't talkative, couldn't decide who to shoot it seemed, maybe he was thinkin' out loud, but he didn't last very long either!
Travis, your report put a smile on my face. Nothing finer than watching Imperial white burn under the crippling antimatter of our torpedoes. You've earned your fangs - Copperhead.
Barry, I understand your partial discomfort for the Hackers. But trust my judgement, we're doing these things for a reason. You've done extremely well in the field so far and I need more experienced pilots to lead fresh blood, congratulations on your promotion.
Upon leaving Ouray i have received an information of a target in Texas, and immediately departed to the site, using the lanes to shorten the distance.
Upon arrival, the most disgusting of all options have been acquired and pinned - a Rogue, robbing the bypassing civilian convoys. Of course, the presence of such a vermin on our turf could not be tolerated.
Upon Cobra's order, we sunk that rusty boat and recovered whatever pods we could, returning to Ouray shortly after.
We may only hope that the lesson carved in the hull of his rusty boat with Black Widows and Scatterguns have been learned.
Hayes, out.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
