Hi. Um, first report. I just had an encounter with a Platform ship flown by a Doctor Hope of the Damnatio Memoriae cell in Inverness. They expressed problems getting non-proprietary medical equipment for their people and we talked quite a bit. I told them about the situation on Erie, and they expressed sympathy and an interest in maybe helping on an intelligence front. I've reached back out to them on a personal level, but if I dunno if that'd be helpful on an operational one as well to be aware of that. Logs are attached.

Libera te ex inferis,
Initiate Mori (she/they)

[12.05.2024 16:13:55] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oooh, Bundshuh?
[12.05.2024 16:14:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Now that's a word I haven't seen in ages. Hi!
[12.05.2024 16:14:18] A/)-Revenant: Hello there.
[12.05.2024 16:14:32] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Doctor Hope of the Platform. Hello to you.
[12.05.2024 16:14:37] A/)-Revenant: Ah, Doctor Hope.
[12.05.2024 16:14:41] A/)-Revenant: I welcome you. I hope all has been well.
[12.05.2024 16:15:34] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: All is as well as can be, I've taken the time to explore the regions for myself.
[12.05.2024 16:15:35] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: OH! The Platform. That explains, um... hi!
[12.05.2024 16:15:52] A/)-Revenant: [nods]
[12.05.2024 16:15:58] A/)-Revenant: Is there anything we can help with you today?
[12.05.2024 16:16:01] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I'm Cadet Yoko Mori, Task Force Prometheus. Good to meet you.
[12.05.2024 16:16:18] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Hello Cadet Mori, I don't believe we've encountered eachother before.
[12.05.2024 16:17:12] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Nope, I don't think so. I've heard about your group, but not a lot - just that you're good people doing good work.
[12.05.2024 16:17:43] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I'm hoping to discuss developments of our Open-Operating-System, our civilian needs are requiring services--
[12.05.2024 16:18:04] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: That aren't hampered by corporate desires for subscriptions, profits and inaccessability for software eneds.
[12.05.2024 16:18:13] [OOC] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": needs*
[12.05.2024 16:19:01] A/)-Revenant: Ah, a problem that majority faces across the Sector.
[12.05.2024 16:19:23] A/)-Revenant: The complacent content with willing oppression to the corporates capitalistic chains.
[12.05.2024 16:19:40] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: You like alliteration, don't you?
[12.05.2024 16:19:51] A/)-Revenant: I'm so glad you caught that one.
[12.05.2024 16:19:57] A/)-Revenant: I was almost impressed with myself [chuckles]
[12.05.2024 16:20:23] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Yes well, in my line of work, I find it most infuriating that Cryer heavily restricts usage of its medical devices--
[12.05.2024 16:20:28] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I know, I'm very sharp. It was so subtle. [She lets out a laugh of her own, followed by the squeak of freshly-oiled leather
[12.05.2024 16:20:44] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [and a fwomph sound of air leaving a seat as someone collapses into it.]
[12.05.2024 16:21:08] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: when I have people that require immediate treatment... Oh.
[12.05.2024 16:21:19] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Are you alright?
[12.05.2024 16:21:31] A/)-Revenant: They are just sitting down...
[12.05.2024 16:21:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: It was good, though. And... yeah. I imagine that could be a problem. Propietary stuff is dangerous - I bet even moreso in
[12.05.2024 16:21:33] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: medical work.
[12.05.2024 16:21:40] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Um... yes? Yeah, what Revenant said.
[12.05.2024 16:22:52] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Oh... Was it-- funny?
[12.05.2024 16:23:21] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: It... I guess? We were just kinda bantering.
[12.05.2024 16:23:48] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Oh... 'Banter'. /I see.../ Very well then.
[12.05.2024 16:24:29] A/)-Revenant: You were... misunderstanding what was happening
[12.05.2024 16:24:32] A/)-Revenant: I presume.
[12.05.2024 16:25:26] Death: JoeNinja was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[12.05.2024 16:25:39] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yeah, I just pointed out the pretty alliteration, then kind of made fun of myself for pointing out the obvious in an awkward
[12.05.2024 16:25:44] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: way to diffuse any tension.
[12.05.2024 16:26:27] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I see! I must have done... I'm sorry, CS tells me I'm not well hersed in this 'humour' scenario.
[12.05.2024 16:26:52] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: CS?
[12.05.2024 16:27:19] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Are you a robot? Err... AI? Sorry, not sure the right term these days.
[12.05.2024 16:27:53] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Ah, CS is the elected representative of the 'Damnatio Memoriae' cell.
[12.05.2024 16:28:08] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: He is usually the one that consults with others concerning our cell.
[12.05.2024 16:28:54] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: And no... I am Human. I may have some synthetic and cybernetic enhancements but as I know and trust.
[12.05.2024 16:29:01] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: /I am human./
[12.05.2024 16:30:23] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: ... Hmm.
[12.05.2024 16:30:41] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay! So, um, you were saying about propietary medical stuff?
[12.05.2024 16:30:53] A/)-Revenant: Heh.
[12.05.2024 16:30:54] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Hello there!
[12.05.2024 16:30:57] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I'm sorry for diverting your question, I must come to some form of assessment...
[12.05.2024 16:30:59] A/)-Revenant: Good evening.
[12.05.2024 16:31:00] Dinner.Bell: Folks.
[12.05.2024 16:31:20] A/)-Revenant: No matter, what did you require from us, Doctor?
[12.05.2024 16:31:23] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: But... Robot? What gave you that conclusion?
[12.05.2024 16:31:30] 2024-05-12 16:31:30 SMT Traffic control alert: Dinner.Bell has docked
[12.05.2024 16:32:17] A/)-Revenant: Gunboat Bell, your identity seems to be holding some confliction. Do you need assistance in resolvingi t?
[12.05.2024 16:32:27] Dinner.Bell: What?
[12.05.2024 16:32:33] A/)-Revenant: [sigh] To put it simply,
[12.05.2024 16:32:36] A/)-Revenant: Your papers are mismatched.
[12.05.2024 16:32:40] A/)-Revenant: Do you need papers transferred to you?
[12.05.2024 16:32:53] Dinner.Bell: I'm doing fine ma'am.
[12.05.2024 16:32:57] A/)-Revenant: Very well.
[12.05.2024 16:33:08] Dinner.Bell: What papers anyways?
[12.05.2024 16:33:22] A/)-Revenant: Your "identification card"
[12.05.2024 16:33:29] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I dunno, you just... I've seen a lot of them not understand humor too well, or refer to themselves like an object, or talk
[12.05.2024 16:33:39] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: about referring to someone else in the middle of a conversation for guidance.
[12.05.2024 16:33:44] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Just a gut feeling, I guess.
[12.05.2024 16:33:49] Dinner.Bell: I don't have any ID card.
[12.05.2024 16:33:56] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Ah... Well--
[12.05.2024 16:34:09] Dinner.Bell: Why would I wanna be identified?
[12.05.2024 16:34:17] A/)-Revenant: Because your IFF is blinking as a Technocrat.
[12.05.2024 16:34:24] Dinner.Bell: Wait... Does it?
[12.05.2024 16:34:26] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[12.05.2024 16:34:40] Dinner.Bell: *bursts to laugh*
[12.05.2024 16:34:51] A/)-Revenant: You may want to head to Barrier Gate to fix it up to display as a Freelancer.
[12.05.2024 16:34:54] Dinner.Bell: Ah yeah, I believe I know why this happened.
[12.05.2024 16:35:02] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Wait, are those... old Legion turrets?
[12.05.2024 16:35:04] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: [She stood silent in her flightsuit, taking a moment to hold her palms to the sides of her flight helmet.] ...
[12.05.2024 16:35:19] Dinner.Bell: They were Legion turrets, now they're mine.
[12.05.2024 16:35:44] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: [Rather not taking it off, she looks down, rocking her head silently back and foruth before her posture--
[12.05.2024 16:36:07] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Huh. Not that it's something that really bothers me, but you might wanna think about your phrasing when you say stuff like
[12.05.2024 16:36:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: that.
[12.05.2024 16:36:19] Dinner.Bell: What stuff?
[12.05.2024 16:36:21] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: -- Returns to an attentive state] Sorry. I am human.
[12.05.2024 16:36:26] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Weird people might take offense to it being said that way.
[12.05.2024 16:36:35] Death: JoeNinja was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[12.05.2024 16:36:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Nothing to be sorry about! I was just curious. Are you okay?
[12.05.2024 16:36:45] Dinner.Bell: *chuckles* What people? The Legion's not been a thing for years.
[12.05.2024 16:37:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Hooo, /boy/, you're in for a surprise then, huh? I mean, it's true, in the technical sense.
[12.05.2024 16:37:36] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: All is well, thank you Cadet.
[12.05.2024 16:38:22] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: The people of the Legion live in, maybe not under the same flag. But their ideals, desires and duty are still present.
[12.05.2024 16:38:34] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Some even serve under the umbrella of the Platform.
[12.05.2024 16:38:46] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: But there's some folks who've taken exception to how things went down. Lot of old retirees come back recently. Commonwealth
[12.05.2024 16:38:57] Dinner.Bell: That so? Sounds like the usual political party shenanigans switching names and brand every few years.
[12.05.2024 16:39:08] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: civilians trapped in camps on Erie really got people motivated to go climb the mountain and steal them back.
[12.05.2024 16:40:28] Dinner.Bell: Well, good for them I guess.
[12.05.2024 16:40:33] Dinner.Bell: It's no wonder.
[12.05.2024 16:40:57] Dinner.Bell: Also yeah excuse me a moment as I get the IFF thing fixed.
[12.05.2024 16:40:57] A/)-Revenant: Are you actually an ex-Insurgent, or any of the branches?>
[12.05.2024 16:41:04] A/)-Revenant: Or just using the kit?
[12.05.2024 16:41:08] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I avoided it for years, but my mom's one of those people, so... here I am. 'Task Force Prometheus' painted on the side of my
[12.05.2024 16:41:13] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: ship.
[12.05.2024 16:41:14] Dinner.Bell: That's for me to know and for you to find out ma'am.
[12.05.2024 16:41:19] A/)-Revenant: Ohoho.
[12.05.2024 16:41:21] A/)-Revenant: Mysterious!

[12.05.2024 16:41:41] 2024-05-12 16:41:41 SMT Traffic control alert: Dinner.Bell has docked
[12.05.2024 16:42:07] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Weird guy. Can't tell if they like us or not. Anyways.
[12.05.2024 16:42:13] A/)-Revenant: The usual evasive behaviour.
[12.05.2024 16:42:22] Dinner.Bell: Now?
[12.05.2024 16:42:23] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: We've supplied refuge to the Insurgency's Klaxon for the past 3 years, in return to her crew and vessels care.
[12.05.2024 16:42:27] A/)-Revenant: Fine now.
[12.05.2024 16:42:31] A/)-Revenant: In any case, I was idly curious.
[12.05.2024 16:42:34] Dinner.Bell: Great.
[12.05.2024 16:42:39] A/)-Revenant: I do not care whether you are an ex or not.
[12.05.2024 16:43:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I'm sure the people with more history would really appreciate that, um... sorry, remind me of yourr name, Platform ship? I'v
[12.05.2024 16:43:10] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I've been kinda all over the place today.
[12.05.2024 16:43:13] Dinner.Bell: It does sound like your folks do struggle to get people onto their ranks.
[12.05.2024 16:43:18] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Doctor Hope, Doctor Forlorn Hope.
[12.05.2024 16:43:34] Dinner.Bell: That's a hopeful name, if I say so myself.
[12.05.2024 16:43:37] A/)-Revenant: Depends. Their way is a harsh one. Many would rather focus on the element of survival - not change
[12.05.2024 16:43:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oh, Doctor Hope. Thank you. But yeah, I'm sure the people with more history than me would really appreciate it.
[12.05.2024 16:44:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I dunno, though, lotta folks mad with how stuff went down, but there's also a lot of people who want an /alternative/. It's
[12.05.2024 16:44:17] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: a harder path we've chosen this time, but a lot more useful.
[12.05.2024 16:44:30] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: The support the Klaxon has offered in terms of its training and firepower that the crew bring, we've in turn--
[12.05.2024 16:44:49] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Offered them the refuge and support they need to more than just a life of... Service.
[12.05.2024 16:44:53] A/)-Revenant: Brave, nonetheless.
[12.05.2024 16:45:28] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: They had deliberations of joining the corsairs when they were offered that too...
[12.05.2024 16:45:42] Dinner.Bell: Wouldn't that be a funny sight.
[12.05.2024 16:45:55] Dinner.Bell: I have a love-hate relationship with the Cretins.
[12.05.2024 16:46:01] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Of all the power and prowess the corsairs hold, I am still surprised that Klaxon chose to deny their offer... But it is--
[12.05.2024 16:46:05] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: very much repsected.
[12.05.2024 16:46:56] A/)-Revenant: I do not understand why some Insurgents thought it would be wise to... join the Corsairs?
[12.05.2024 16:47:11] A/)-Revenant: Do they not realise that their equipment will be stolen and that they'll be shot and left in a ditch?
[12.05.2024 16:47:44] A/)-Revenant: Or worse, used as meat upon another warfront?
[12.05.2024 16:47:49] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I dunno. Legion was always pretty anti-Corsair. I've never understood the the ideology behind it, though.
[12.05.2024 16:48:10] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Ideology can crumble when desperation takes over.
[12.05.2024 16:48:12] A/)-Revenant: Insanity. I saw two Arbiters under the Order Overwatch banners too.
[12.05.2024 16:48:23] Dinner.Bell: Because the Corsairs only show up to fuck shit up most of the time.
[12.05.2024 16:48:27] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[12.05.2024 16:48:28] Dinner.Bell: Nobody likes them.
[12.05.2024 16:48:38] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I do not like the Corsairs.
[12.05.2024 16:48:44] Dinner.Bell: Well, /almost/ nobody likes them.
[12.05.2024 16:49:04] A/)-Revenant: Never understood the Gaians fondness for them either.
[12.05.2024 16:49:18] Death: ~Rick_Brunson suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[12.05.2024 16:49:31] Dinner.Bell: You can't guess why?
[12.05.2024 16:49:57] A/)-Revenant: "Using" them for helping their efforts, perhaps.
[12.05.2024 16:50:03] A/)-Revenant: But ultimately... They're only going to be crushed by them.
[12.05.2024 16:50:11] Dinner.Bell: Funding and resources.
[12.05.2024 16:50:11] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Under /Order/? Kami, my dad used to whine so much about the Order.
[12.05.2024 16:50:18] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: The Gaians are an odd... I would have found their political leanings towards environmentalism seems to contrast the--
[12.05.2024 16:50:40] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: destructive nature of the Corsairs... They seem to pillage and plunder quite heavily.
[12.05.2024 16:51:08] A/)-Revenant: Mmmm... The Gaians have had ample choices besides the Corsairs.
[12.05.2024 16:51:16] A/)-Revenant: I believe they even attempted to speak with the Mollys at one point.
[12.05.2024 16:51:20] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Gaians are nuts. I get Leeds is a mess, but they shoot everyone over it, /especially/ people who have nothing to do with it.
[12.05.2024 16:51:35] A/)-Revenant: I was more referring to those who were fanatically loyal about the Corsairs anyhow.
[12.05.2024 16:51:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Not like there's much of a Leeds left to fix now anyways.
[12.05.2024 16:51:41] A/)-Revenant: Not so much those who see opportunity.
[12.05.2024 16:51:51] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: It must be the assets the Corsairs have at their disposal that turn people that quickly.
[12.05.2024 16:52:13] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I've seen Farmers Alliance locally to Rheinland take preference to engaging the Bundschuh as they assist corsairs.
[12.05.2024 16:52:20] Death: ~Rick_Brunson was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[12.05.2024 16:52:46] Dinner.Bell: One thing I do like about Corsairs is that where there's Corsairs, there's profit to be made.
[12.05.2024 16:53:06] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Have they forrgotten their mission too and just decided to go, I dunno, join LWB to smuggle or something?
[12.05.2024 16:53:11] A/)-Revenant: The Corsairs have made habit of trading directly to Coronado.

[12.05.2024 16:54:24] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: Unfortuantely the period before the Rheinland Civil War was turbulent.
[12.05.2024 16:54:55] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yeahhh, I'd /really/ recommend you stay away from Liberty to do that there, pirate. Or just stop. Hurting people for money

[12.05.2024 17:04:18] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: But... for the hardware, I'm gonna defer to the important Technocracy guy himself.

[12.05.2024 17:06:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Nah, he's Doc Holliday's crew. Cooler than Doc, though. None of the 'outside agitators' stuff.

[12.05.2024 17:58:14] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I believe that is not at the fault of Non-Thuringians. Nor us Thuringians.
[12.05.2024 17:59:04] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: So I tend to disregard the whispers of 'Dead Men' when I find myself on other Bundschuh stations.
[12.05.2024 17:59:12] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: So... to make sure I'm keeping up, the Platform is Thuringians, non-Platform Bundschuh are non-Thuringian? What does
[12.05.2024 17:59:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Thuringian mean?

[12.05.2024 18:00:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oh, okay. So... I'm still not sure what a Thuringian is, though. Is that just a member of your cell?"

[12.05.2024 18:02:14] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: And... why 'dead men'? Does it have to do with you being called what... um, I don't know Latin well, but it sounds like
[12.05.2024 18:02:22] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: something like the 'memories of the damned' or something?
[12.05.2024 18:03:10] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": FH: I believe its a play on our acronym.

[12.05.2024 18:05:24] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oh, okay. Neat! I've been learning to try - the old Legion people use a lot of latin mottos, so it'd be good to actually

"Greetings."

"I'd be lying if I said today wasn't something unusual."

"First, someone with an Order IFF. Turned out to be an old friend to some of us. Then... Probably the biggest ship I ever saw up-close. Abaddon. Сould barely speak when I saw it. Even in current condition, it was still very impressive."

"If you would require an extra pair of hands to get Abaddon back up and running, I'll be glad to help. I'm a far better mechanic than I am a pilot."

"Attaching logs."

Non-Combat After Action Report

Date: 05.16.34, 02:20 GAST
Rank & Name: Initiate Crowe, Bellamy
Reporting From: Valravn Garrison
AAR # 001

Initiate Crowe here. First report, composite report actually. I hope I'm doing this right.

I departed for a quick patrol of Vespucci on the 8th at approximately 0600 hours. Upon entering the system from the Magellan jump corridor I encountered a Kishiro transport, the Azuma Maru, serving as a tender for a newly erected installation called Tijuana Freeport. I spoke at length with both the Kishiro captain and the Freeport's administrator, one James Salworth, a former resident of the Commonwealth. This gives us both a potential line of communication with sympathetic Kishiro elements as well as a port of call in Vespucci, as Mr. Salworth made it clear that Prometheus was welcome aboard the installation.

I don't know if we want to draw undue attention by establishing a presence in Vespucci too early, but it's hard to deny that it would be a convenient location to base from, given its proximity to Magellan.

Now for the more... solemn, half of this report.

I did a quick flyby of Westpoint on my way to see Erie. Alone. Stupid, shortsighted, but just maybe it paid off.

I made contact with two ESRD operatives at the lane junction. Held position at the edge of the badlands expecting them to give pursuit, but we ended up exchanging blows with words instead of guns. These people seemed different, oldtimers. They saw action against Gallia. Neither of them, allegedly, were involved in operations in Vespucci.

They seemed sympathetic, if cold. I pressed them about the camps and they.. they actually said they were going to go down and check it out? I have no idea if it'll go anywhere, but if we can change even one of these people's minds about things I think it could be a pretty big deal. Like I said, these two seemed.. different. I've attached logs below.

[16.05.2024 07:07:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ARRES: Contact, short range.

[16.05.2024 07:07:19] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Confirmed...ah, you're familiar then?

[16.05.2024 07:07:51] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: *The pilot's voice cracks over the comms channel. They're young.* D-don't come any closer!

[16.05.2024 07:08:23] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: We're well within the West Point Defense Perimeter... *she chuckles softly*

[16.05.2024 07:09:12] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: So you're.. /not/ going to chase me into the badlands?

[16.05.2024 07:09:35] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Pretty curious what a technocracy ship is doing here..

[16.05.2024 07:09:49] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: to know*

[16.05.2024 07:10:44] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Ah.. *an audible hint of disappointment in the pilot's voice* so you don't know. I'm not sure...

[16.05.2024 07:11:01] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'm not sure whether I should be feeling relief or a punch to the gut right now.

[16.05.2024 07:11:45] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: You don't seem as...altered, as the others we've encountered.

[16.05.2024 07:12:30] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Kind of funny that you wouldn't know after those LSF shitstains grand slammed us in Erie orbit last week.

[16.05.2024 07:12:46] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Then again, maybe that's.. why. *The pilot sighs*

[16.05.2024 07:13:19] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Mmh, I think I did see something about that....LSF operations aren't really my forte.

[16.05.2024 07:13:51] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ARRES: Friendly contact, short range, ESRD transponder confirmed.

[16.05.2024 07:13:57] /showinfo

[16.05.2024 07:14:00] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah, yeah..

[16.05.2024 07:14:01] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Don't come any closer!

[16.05.2024 07:14:53] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: What do you make of this then, Pherkad?

[16.05.2024 07:15:05] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I haven't been.. altered, at least not that way anyway? *The pilot laughs*

[16.05.2024 07:15:24] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah that's what I was saying..you seem less machine.

[16.05.2024 07:15:26] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: What, one of those Technocrat types?

[16.05.2024 07:15:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah, but different.

[16.05.2024 07:15:57] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Hm, dunno, I've had mixed interactions with them.

[16.05.2024 07:16:04] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Aye, same.

[16.05.2024 07:16:25] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: If you're not going to try and kill me, I came to see Erie.

[16.05.2024 07:16:47] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Not much to see there I'm afraid.

[16.05.2024 07:16:55] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Fascinating...but yeah, that

[16.05.2024 07:17:04] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Maybe not to you.

[16.05.2024 07:18:17] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: That's a weird strikecraft, I don't recognize it.

[16.05.2024 07:18:19] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Unless you like overly zealous Zoners trying to stab you there isn't much to be had there.

[16.05.2024 07:18:47] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Shoulda withdrawn and blown the gate as far as I'm concerned...but the government has different intentions, so here we are.

[16.05.2024 07:19:14] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Should've just let them all leave through that backwater on the far side of the system.

[16.05.2024 07:19:17] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Well you.. *the pilot grits their teeth* you fucking didn't.

[16.05.2024 07:19:46] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You ever been to war, Technocrat?

[16.05.2024 07:20:08] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I... I grew up on Leeds..

[16.05.2024 07:20:48] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I watched that big op years ago, the one where you killed that Valor. I used to think you were the good guys.

[16.05.2024 07:20:59] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: But I'll bet neither of you were even there for that..

[16.05.2024 07:21:11] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Which one.

[16.05.2024 07:22:07] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: There were more than a few Gallic Battleships destroyed.

[16.05.2024 07:22:18] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Probably means the Oubli.

[16.05.2024 07:22:29] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Hm.

[16.05.2024 07:22:46] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: What about the Betheny?

[16.05.2024 07:22:58] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: That was a good time.

[16.05.2024 07:23:22] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Oubli, I think that was the name. Sorry, it was a long time ago now..

[16.05.2024 07:23:31] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Yeah you're telling me...

[16.05.2024 07:23:31] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Wait, what am I apologizing to /you/ for?

[16.05.2024 07:23:35] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah, it sure was.

[16.05.2024 07:23:58] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ARRES: Civilian ship, short range, scan completed.

[16.05.2024 07:24:10] Callous_Roamer: Good day, gentlemen

[16.05.2024 07:24:40] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Did that Freelancer just assume that you were both men?

[16.05.2024 07:24:55] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Think you're here, too.

[16.05.2024 07:25:10] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I mean they were right about me though.

[16.05.2024 07:25:44] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I mean, that's kind of validating, but I don't think he was talking to me.

[16.05.2024 07:25:52] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: As for Leeds, if I never see that place again for the rest of my life, I'll be happy.

[16.05.2024 07:26:12] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We lost a lot of good people there.

[16.05.2024 07:26:21] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah, we did.

[16.05.2024 07:26:50] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Damn Bretonians haven't exactly been grateful about it either.

[16.05.2024 07:27:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I'd watch the Oubli burn a thousand times over and still feel joy from it.

[16.05.2024 07:27:27] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Yeah? 

[16.05.2024 07:27:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah, it's like that.

[16.05.2024 07:27:49] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Royalist bastards.

[16.05.2024 07:27:53] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Is it like /that/ with Guadalajara, too?

[16.05.2024 07:28:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: *she scoffs* ...I wasn't there for that operation.

[16.05.2024 07:28:55] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Do you people even realize what I am? The hell you've put us through?

[16.05.2024 07:29:16] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I lost one home to Gallia, and the other to Liberty. What the fuck am I supposed to.. do, with that?

[16.05.2024 07:29:21] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Oh you're one of *those* lot.

[16.05.2024 07:29:39] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Look kid, I don't blame you for the way you feel.

[16.05.2024 07:29:51] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: But we didn't exactly have a choice inthe matter.

[16.05.2024 07:30:28] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Oh, I suppose the President held a gun to your heads personally and forced you to saturation bomb every population center on -

[16.05.2024 07:30:30] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: the planet?

[16.05.2024 07:30:52] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: That wasn't my call to make.

[16.05.2024 07:31:05] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You get orders to remove an enemy force, you follow them.

[16.05.2024 07:32:00] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Enemy.. force? There were civilians down there. Not many, maybe, after Victoria Knight came along. Most of us fled to Erie.

[16.05.2024 07:32:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I'm still not entirely sure what took place on Guadalajara, but as I understand, the Navy's objectives were military targets

[16.05.2024 07:32:17] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: -- but like I said, I wasn't there.

[16.05.2024 07:32:23] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Bullshit.

[16.05.2024 07:32:43] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We weren't the ones that built military bases in among the civilian populace.

[16.05.2024 07:32:52] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'll show you personally, if you want. Have you ever even laid eyes on the planet? Set foot in Vespucci?

[16.05.2024 07:33:01] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: They did that stuff on purpose, knew we wouldn't bomb them if they did.

[16.05.2024 07:33:35] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: What the fuck is wrong with you? Even if that were true, that doesn't excuse the act.

[16.05.2024 07:33:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Civilians always die when nations fight, it's unavoidable, and...insane, for humans to keep killing each other when --

[16.05.2024 07:33:40] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: there's so much worse out there.

[16.05.2024 07:34:03] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You think I don't know it doesn't excuse it?

[16.05.2024 07:34:13] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: You aren't acting like it.

[16.05.2024 07:34:15] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You think I wanted that to be what I became?

[16.05.2024 07:34:52] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We destroyed Gallic capital ships that were operating in atmo over Leeds?

[16.05.2024 07:34:58] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You know what happens when you do that?

[16.05.2024 07:35:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Civilians definitely died on the surface, too, from Gallic and Libertonian, and Bretonian guns.

[16.05.2024 07:35:39] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: At least you weren't aiming for the buildings they rained on. It took two, Gallia put those ships there.

[16.05.2024 07:35:55] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Yeah and we shot those ships down knowing they'd crash into populated areas.

[16.05.2024 07:36:05] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Sometimes you have to make a call.

[16.05.2024 07:36:15] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: It won't always be a good option.

[16.05.2024 07:36:31] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Night and day. We were just trying to live our lives..

[16.05.2024 07:36:54] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: As they say...the only way to win the game is not to play, but The Republic had no such option, in the face of a militarized

[16.05.2024 07:37:00] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: internal opposition force.

[16.05.2024 07:37:07] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Yeah, did you ever stop and think about what would be a big enough target for us to hit it anyway?

[16.05.2024 07:37:38] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We didn't want to go after targets near civilians, but sometimes you're forced to choose that.

[16.05.2024 07:42:09] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: *As the ship's comms come back to life, the sound of the pilot's fists slamming against the console can be heard* PIECE OF-

[16.05.2024 07:42:25] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Wait, is this thing on?

[16.05.2024 07:42:29] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: That's encouraging..

[16.05.2024 07:42:43] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Those old Prossies never were made very well.

[16.05.2024 07:42:55] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Do you want to test that theory?

[16.05.2024 07:43:12] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Hey, Rogue, crawl back to your hole by the way.

[16.05.2024 07:43:20] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I dunno maybe you should bang your hand on the console a bit more, see if that works.

[16.05.2024 07:43:30] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Look, Kid.

[16.05.2024 07:43:48] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: How about I bang your head against the... why aren't you doing anything about this Rogue, anyway? Do I need to myself?

[16.05.2024 07:43:48] BIoodhound: Why should I? I don't see many of you people around here.

[16.05.2024 07:44:03] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Doubt you even know who "my people" are.

[16.05.2024 07:44:04] BIoodhound: I wanna listen before I watch.

[16.05.2024 07:44:09] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We didn't choose where the military targets were on Guada.

[16.05.2024 07:44:40] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We *tried* sending troops in covertly, take out just the military targets.

[16.05.2024 07:45:05] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Place was rigged to blow.

[16.05.2024 07:45:34] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: If there were military facilities, it wasn't the Legion.

[16.05.2024 07:45:58] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: It was that bitch Knight, the one who took everything over after they dragged her ass out of Bering.

[16.05.2024 07:46:06] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We were beyond the point of being ablle to make the distinction at that point.

[16.05.2024 07:46:53] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'll add that to my list of reasons she's at the top of my list of people, then.

[16.05.2024 07:47:13] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You send troops in, try to do things the right way, and all you get back is ten pairs of boots.

[16.05.2024 07:47:34] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: That's why we bombed the rest of the installations on Guada.

[16.05.2024 07:48:15] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Even if, even /if/ I allow myself to believe for a moment the bombings were justified.. it wasn't fighters who fled to Erie.

[16.05.2024 07:48:40] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Yeah, and we tried to deal with Erie peacefully.

[16.05.2024 07:48:49] BIoodhound: Pfft.

[16.05.2024 07:48:53] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: The Zoners had other ideas.

[16.05.2024 07:49:06] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Yeah, peacefully order our deportation. Right.

[16.05.2024 07:49:33] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: How about I peacefully deport you from your home and you tell me how peaceful it is?

[16.05.2024 07:49:50] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: And then after that, why don't I come peacefully annex you to make a point out of it?

[16.05.2024 07:50:07] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: The GRN tried, look where that got them.

[16.05.2024 07:50:25] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Then maybe you shouldn't be taking lessons from them.

[16.05.2024 07:50:26] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: What result do you expect when an insurrectionist insurgency loses a war?

[16.05.2024 07:50:48] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: separatist*

[16.05.2024 07:51:21] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: What do you expect when you order those people deported, then annex their second - third for a lot of us Leeds refugees - their

[16.05.2024 07:51:31] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: new home, and then... then the camps..

[16.05.2024 07:51:51] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: You're growing something, and I don't think you're going to like it.

[16.05.2024 07:51:51] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You think I don't know what it's like?

[16.05.2024 07:52:11] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: To bring in a shuttle full of refugees from Leeds?

[16.05.2024 07:52:15] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: The temporary resettlement camps are...an unfortunate product of our current reality.

[16.05.2024 07:52:22] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Run them into the closest friendly port?

[16.05.2024 07:52:46] BIoodhound: I remember all that commotion in Cortez when the Navy started blasting refugee ships.

[16.05.2024 07:52:47] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Temporary resettlement camps? *The pilot laughs at this point, a sad, unwell noise* Is that what you really believe they are?

[16.05.2024 07:52:55] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Head back to get another shipment and find out that while you were gone the GRN bombed that collection point?

[16.05.2024 07:53:10] BIoodhound: Made me forget I was a pirate for a good moment there.

[16.05.2024 07:53:35] BIoodhound: Or was it the LSF?

[16.05.2024 07:53:39] BIoodhound: Never can remember.

[16.05.2024 07:53:40] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Having to go back and tell the family that went out on the first trip that their father who had stayed behind to make sure-

[16.05.2024 07:53:50] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: -there was room on the ship for the children wasn't going to make it?

[16.05.2024 07:53:56] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Maybe you should forget permanently and fight for a cause other than your next meal, ever think about that?

[16.05.2024 07:54:12] BIoodhound: Hey, food's damn expensive, man.

[16.05.2024 07:54:25] BIoodhound: I blame these fat cats for eating all the good stuff.

[16.05.2024 07:54:44] BIoodhound: Got me and mine eating that shitty 'synth paste'.

[16.05.2024 07:54:49] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I'm fighting to keep people that would do that sort of thing out of power. You think I'm going to what, go join the-

[16.05.2024 07:54:55] BIoodhound: Tastes like cardboard, man.

[16.05.2024 07:55:04] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: -fucking Zenos and their seven punds of crazy in a three pound box?

[16.05.2024 07:55:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Synth paste -is- pretty gross..

[16.05.2024 07:55:16] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Don't talk to me about Xenos.

[16.05.2024 07:55:28] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: The Xenos are traitors, too.

[16.05.2024 07:55:40] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: They're worse than traitors.

[16.05.2024 07:55:45] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Oh, they're fucking traitors alright. I don't want to have this conversation.

[16.05.2024 07:55:58] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Sounds like we might agree on something.

[16.05.2024 07:56:03] BIoodhound: They make me look good.

[16.05.2024 07:56:05] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Xenos aren't for talking about, they're for lining up against a wall.

[16.05.2024 07:56:18] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Nah, then you have to repair the wall.

[16.05.2024 07:56:32] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Point.

[16.05.2024 07:56:58] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: The Xenos, we think those fucks took in Knight.

[16.05.2024 07:57:09] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Well...we have to treat them humanely and in accordance with the Republic Human Rights Charter..so no summary executions.

[16.05.2024 07:57:17] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: Republic's*

[16.05.2024 07:57:23] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: As far as we're concerned, you're enemy combatants.

[16.05.2024 07:57:30] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Good thing they tend to not surrender.

[16.05.2024 07:57:31] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: That places you a step above traitors.

[16.05.2024 07:57:58] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Interesting.

[16.05.2024 07:58:30] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: So what happens to 'enemy combatants' captured by you fine folks?

[16.05.2024 07:58:48] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: The Xenos stabbed the Legion in the back. Softened them up for Knight to roll in and put her bootheel on West's neck.

[16.05.2024 07:59:04] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I...

[16.05.2024 07:59:22] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: You know what? I'm going to find out.

[16.05.2024 07:59:30] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I sure am glad our government functions democratically...that sounds like a lot of instability.

[16.05.2024 08:00:16] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Ours did too, until Knight came along.

[16.05.2024 08:00:29] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Then it was, as I said, dissolved.

[16.05.2024 08:00:39] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Even if I wanted to take my biggest, blackest, pair of boots and go usurp the Presidency, I wouldn't get very far.

[16.05.2024 08:00:42] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: *she laughs softly*

[16.05.2024 08:00:54] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Yeeah that didn't go well for Baldwin back in the day.

[16.05.2024 08:01:28] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I sure do like a good pair of tall boots though...

[16.05.2024 08:01:51] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Might be into that if you weren't you.

[16.05.2024 08:02:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Pfft...you're probably too young, anyway.

[16.05.2024 08:02:41] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Tsch.

[16.05.2024 08:03:07] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Will you do something for me, "Interloper?"

[16.05.2024 08:03:23] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Eh? That depends.

[16.05.2024 08:04:00] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I want you to dig, really dig, into those camps on Erie. Go and visit one or two of them, even.

[16.05.2024 08:04:19] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'm not even going to tell you what to do with what you find. Just, do that.

[16.05.2024 08:04:59] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: If I wanted to, it would be incredibly easy for me to do so. What do you expect it to do for me?

[16.05.2024 08:05:52] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: That depends entirely upon how well developed the empathy center of your brain is.

[16.05.2024 08:06:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I hardly need to go there, to know that the conditions there are -fucked-.

[16.05.2024 08:07:09] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: There's a difference between an ignorant and an intentional fucking.

[16.05.2024 08:07:45] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'm not talking about shitty rations or lack of meds or dirty water.

[16.05.2024 08:08:30] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: We had all that and more on Leeds.

[16.05.2024 08:08:59] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Given the size of the refugee population, and the state of things between the Republic and the government on Erie --

[16.05.2024 08:09:11] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: I'm not entirely sure what more the Republic could do for those people.

[16.05.2024 08:09:26] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: But, I'm a soldier, not a policymaker.

[16.05.2024 08:09:33] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Can you please. Just. look.

[16.05.2024 08:10:06] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: If she won't, I will.

[16.05.2024 08:10:37] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: You will? You struck me as less.. open.

[16.05.2024 08:10:46] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: We can make an official visit of it, if you really want to go down there...what are they gonna do, refuse the ESRD?

[16.05.2024 08:11:04] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I don't care what the people that took up arms did, I don't want civilians to suffer.

[16.05.2024 08:11:10] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Depending on who you are? I wouldn't put it past them.

[16.05.2024 08:11:11] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Not for what someone else did.

[16.05.2024 08:11:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I agree with Pherkad, for what it's worth.

[16.05.2024 08:12:26] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Liberty has already seen too much senseless death.

[16.05.2024 08:12:37] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: If someone wants to take up arms, and fight it out, that's their choice.

[16.05.2024 08:12:45] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Their kids didn't choose that though.

[16.05.2024 08:12:57] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Who.. are you two, anyway?

[16.05.2024 08:13:09] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: That information is, of course, classified.

[16.05.2024 08:13:54] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Tsch, yeah, naturally.

[16.05.2024 08:14:02] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: *He glances over at the gunboat next to him*

[16.05.2024 08:14:17] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: An old man, who feels about twice that old.

[16.05.2024 08:14:28] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Well I'm Bellamy. Or Bel, or Bella, depending on the day.

[16.05.2024 08:14:40] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Initiate Bellamy Crowe, Task Force Prometheus.

[16.05.2024 08:15:23] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You seem like a good enough sort.

[16.05.2024 08:15:29] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I'd tell you if I could.

[16.05.2024 08:16:00] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Just know that some of us were there for the duration of the war, and when you're over a decade in to armed conflict things-

[16.05.2024 08:16:04] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: -tend to look different.

[16.05.2024 08:16:15] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'm being pragmatic, not polite. You're.. still the enemy, after all.

[16.05.2024 08:16:22] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I'm not excusing whhat we did.

[16.05.2024 08:16:29] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: I see...Task Force Prometheus. This has been an interesting conversation.

[16.05.2024 08:16:30] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: But I wanted to make sure you had a way to reach out to me, in case, you know..

[16.05.2024 08:16:39] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: But, trying to tell you why we did things that way.

[16.05.2024 08:16:56] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: We'll look into the claims you made about Erie.

[16.05.2024 08:17:03] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Not sure what good it'll do.

[16.05.2024 08:17:16] Tip: The world of Freelancer is full of ambiguity just like real life is. Not all characters showing up as hostile are your enemies. Likewise - not all characters showing up as neutral are your friends.

[16.05.2024 08:17:41] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I hope I don't have to kill either of you, someday, for what it's worth.

[16.05.2024 08:18:13] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: *He raises his left hand, tapping his fingers together, which makes a distinct clacking sound*

[16.05.2024 08:18:22] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: You wouldn't be the first.

[16.05.2024 08:18:44] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Mm.

[16.05.2024 08:18:45] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Doubt you'll be the last. Medicaly technology is pretty advanced these days.

[16.05.2024 08:18:55] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah well...we'll see.

[16.05.2024 08:19:03] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I should know, given our leader, is, well..

[16.05.2024 08:19:18] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: What it is.

[16.05.2024 08:19:47] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Mmh, 30 years ago I'd probably be dead, too.

[16.05.2024 08:19:57] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Or at least crippled, but here I am.

[16.05.2024 08:20:01] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: Ha, same.

[16.05.2024 08:20:25] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: For what it's worth Crowe, good luck, and try not to die, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders.

[16.05.2024 08:21:02] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: In case our next conversation happens with guns,

[16.05.2024 08:21:33] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I want you to know that we - that I - we're doing this for justice. Not vengeance, and not blindly.

[16.05.2024 08:22:00] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Yeah well, everyone thinks they're just.

[16.05.2024 08:22:07] [LN]-Pherkad|ESRD: I'mm certain you *think* that, it remains to be seen if it's true.

[16.05.2024 08:22:27] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: The difference between us and the Insurgency is that we /know/ that.

[16.05.2024 08:22:37] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: There's very little justice in people killing people.

[16.05.2024 08:23:04] Ashlynn.Wimns: Good morning, everyone.

[16.05.2024 08:23:06] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I know that. I do.

[16.05.2024 08:23:16] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Hey, good morning DSE.

[16.05.2024 08:24:20] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'll be going. Thanks again, just for looking.

[16.05.2024 08:24:36] [LN]-Interloper|ESRD: ?: Mmh, stay alive out there.

[16.05.2024 08:24:45] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I will. Don't die yet yourself.

Non-Combat After Action Report

Date: 05.21.34, 07:30 GAST
Rank & Name: Initate Struikas, Andrew (Firebrand)
Reporting From: Valravn Garrison
AAR # 001

Been quite some time since I wrote one of these.

Initiate Struikas, reporting.

Been a moment but I finally got around to this given the large workload I've had on my hands lately. Had been recalling assets of mine from Liberty, mainly some of my belongings I didn't sell off, and two of my ships, a Longsword and Broadsword - only to be met by a Crayterian Greenhorn who was nosing around in the Technocrats' business, and also wouldn't leave me be when I warned him verbally.

The kid seemed to have been just sent here on a death wish. Makes me wonder what in the hell the Crayterians were thinking.

After that, we linked up with two ships, the Procyon and Juneau - seems to be older vessels once affiliated with the Legion prior to everything going to shit.

[16.05.2024 21:23:31] TFP)-Firebrand: Leaving Liberty space now.. here's hoping San Diego doesn't ask me while they're being shot at by Hackers. [16.05.2024 21:27:16] TFP)-Firebrand: Curacao. [16.05.2024 21:27:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Heh. [16.05.2024 21:27:41] TFP)-Firebrand: .. Damn, now I'm thinking of Naoko. [16.05.2024 21:28:58] TFP)-Firebrand: Entering Auxesian space now. Time to on station is Rolex +0005. [16.05.2024 21:29:06] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Understood. [16.05.2024 21:30:56] Newbie-3: A-a Freelancer? [16.05.2024 21:31:04] TFP)-Firebrand: No, kid.

[16.05.2024 21:33:04] Newbie-3: What- what kind of-of faction is that? [16.05.2024 21:33:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Do not follow me, Crayterian. Only warning. [16.05.2024 21:33:20] TFP)-Firebrand: Be advised, I have a trailer, singleton, Crayter. [16.05.2024 21:33:24] Newbie-3: I only want answers, no-no problem. [16.05.2024 21:33:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Nothing personal - I just don't want you following me where I'm going. [16.05.2024 21:34:01] Newbie-3: Bu-but why? [16.05.2024 21:34:03] TFP)-Firebrand: It would be wise to heed my advice. You'll find the answer sooner or later. [16.05.2024 21:34:24] Newbie-3: My bo-boo-boss told me to patrol this region. [16.05.2024 21:34:24] TFP)-Full.Send: This ex, [16.05.2024 21:34:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Not the bird by any chance? [16.05.2024 21:34:42] Lazurith: Revenant? [16.05.2024 21:34:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Her tastes strike me as a little more eclectic anyway. Yeah. [16.05.2024 21:34:53] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah well, my friends won't take kindly to you following me, I feel. [16.05.2024 21:34:53] TFP)-Full.Send: Ah, there's Firebrand. [16.05.2024 21:35:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Osorio, Megiddo flagged this one as a potential plant. That's why we're the welcoming party and not the Quartermaster. [16.05.2024 21:35:21] Newbie-3: So-so you belong to the Technocracy? [16.05.2024 21:35:36] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah. Sorry for the trailer. He decided to follow, against my advice to leave well enough alone. [16.05.2024 21:35:44] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Megiddo doesn't tell me anything. [16.05.2024 21:35:45] TFP)-Firebrand: Going to check IFF now. [16.05.2024 21:40:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, tell me about it. Seems like a bad deal to me. [16.05.2024 21:40:20] Newbie-3: Th-they told me I would be enough. [16.05.2024 21:40:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, you pissed off your superiors. [16.05.2024 21:40:36] TFP)-Full.Send: What's your name, rook? [16.05.2024 21:40:38] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Definitely. [16.05.2024 21:41:05] Newbie-3: Jaden P-P-P-Pierce. [16.05.2024 21:41:23] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Speak louder, we can't hear you. [16.05.2024 21:41:25] TFP)-Firebrand: So what's the deal with the Greenhorn? [16.05.2024 21:41:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Poor kid.

[16.05.2024 22:17:44] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: There's only so much my people can do with Zoner mooring points. [16.05.2024 22:18:05] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But I like to think my guys are still pretty good at their jobs. [16.05.2024 22:18:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Have you been basing off the Freeport this whole time? I rather think the Auxo would have noticed. [16.05.2024 22:18:54] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We've been floating around the Taus, mostly, primarily off of Freeport 10. [16.05.2024 22:19:08] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But we make the occasional trip down here to 14 every one in a while. [16.05.2024 22:19:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Makes a little more sense. [16.05.2024 22:19:24] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: No idea how they never noticed. Maybe we're just that obscure. [16.05.2024 22:19:26] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't suppose you got the call, given the address was to Legionnaires. [16.05.2024 22:19:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Maybe Megiddo should have cast a wider net. [16.05.2024 22:19:59] TFP)-Firebrand: Given I heard about it, I'm surprised he didn't. [16.05.2024 22:20:18] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We severed our connection with the Leniex Network once we made it past the blockade. [16.05.2024 22:20:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Leniex Network, good joke. [16.05.2024 22:20:43] TFP)-Full.Send: We scorched earthed it. [16.05.2024 22:20:59] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo's transmission was sent out from Valravn. [16.05.2024 22:21:48] TFP)-Firebrand: So. What brings you to Inverness. In a LABC that looks like she hasn't seen dry dock in ages? [16.05.2024 22:22:15] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Well, like I said, we make this trip every now and then. [16.05.2024 22:22:54] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I've had to bring some Zoners aboard to replace some of the losses we've taken over the years. [16.05.2024 22:23:07] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A few of them have folks down here. [16.05.2024 22:23:15] Lazurith: Big ass reading over there. [16.05.2024 22:23:17] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm surprised the 5th Fleet or LSF hasn't been sicced on you. But then again, Liberty loses ships like I go through beer. [16.05.2024 22:23:25] A/)-Revenant: I'm surprised you convinced some to come aboard. [16.05.2024 22:23:28] Lazurith: Holy smokes. [16.05.2024 22:23:35] A/)-Revenant: I'm guessing it gets people giddy to be able to work on one of those. [16.05.2024 22:24:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, if I were a Zoner these days I wouldn't trust a Battlecruiser, let alone a fly belonging to LIBNAV, even if it was waivin [16.05.2024 22:24:02] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A fairly pristine Interdictor can be quite the curiosity grabber. [16.05.2024 22:24:06] TFP)-Firebrand: g Insurgent colors. [16.05.2024 22:25:04] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Of course, they don't have the faintest idea how many of our primary systems work, even some secondaries, so we're not- [16.05.2024 22:25:10] INS-Procyon: -exactly combat capable.

[16.05.2024 22:26:48] TFP)-Firebrand: I assume he's someone you all or the Technocrats know. [16.05.2024 22:26:53] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: So, I recognize the primary Technocracy idents, but who's the other? [16.05.2024 22:27:00] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Don't know the guy. [16.05.2024 22:27:01] A/)-Revenant: He used to be one of us. [16.05.2024 22:27:05] Lazurith: Task Force Pear. Our newest and brightest. [16.05.2024 22:27:08] A/)-Revenant: But he ran away, Leviathan let him off, I don't know why. [16.05.2024 22:27:11] Lazurith: Just kidding. [16.05.2024 22:27:12] A/)-Revenant: But he's been trouble. [16.05.2024 22:27:20] A/)-Revenant: Mind if I link in the operative? [16.05.2024 22:27:33] TFP)-Firebrand: Hmm. I'll keep that in mind. [16.05.2024 22:27:39] A/)-Revenant: I personally do not trust Lazurith. [16.05.2024 22:27:42] Lazurith: They are former Insurgents, remnants if you will. Here to knock Victoria Knight out of the chessboard for good. [16.05.2024 22:27:42] TFP)-Firebrand: And I have no say in the matter. [16.05.2024 22:27:46] TFP)-Firebrand: So do as you wish. [16.05.2024 22:27:47] A/)-Revenant: He is very suspect to being manipulated by outsiders. [16.05.2024 22:27:47] Lazurith: Don't blame 'em. [16.05.2024 22:27:55] A/)-Revenant: And he certainly does not control security matters. [16.05.2024 22:28:10] A/)-Revenant: We should have told that Crayter to climb into his pod, tractor him in, destroy the ship, let him loose on the Freeport. [16.05.2024 22:28:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Victoria Knight. Gods, it's been ages since I heard that name. Not in a positive light, of course. [16.05.2024 22:28:21] Lazurith: We're offering them help and aid. A means to fight back at the people who took everything from them. [16.05.2024 22:28:49] A/)-Adonis: <:: I had advised they depart immediately. Lazurith interfered. ::> [16.05.2024 22:28:54] A/)-Revenant: In any case, he's no enemy. But it is telling of his revolt. [16.05.2024 22:29:06] A/)-Revenant: The Crayter ship did not wipe its blackbox. [16.05.2024 22:29:15] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, I can tell - he seems very emotional. I can sympathize with the kid yeah, but I'm not going to let it get in the way of [16.05.2024 22:29:15] A/)-Revenant: Hans and the Hacker were endangered by association. [16.05.2024 22:29:18] TFP)-Firebrand: my duties. [16.05.2024 22:29:38] TFP)-Firebrand: If he refused to listen to reason - para bellum. [16.05.2024 22:29:56] Lazurith: There's plenty of 'em trapped in Erie to this day. Former Guadalajara people being shipped off to LPI labour camps. [16.05.2024 22:30:04] TFP)-Firebrand: Fucking disgusting. [16.05.2024 22:30:09] Upalite: Every hand I've ever seen reached out to Lazurith has been grasped firmly, and he's then allowed that hand to pull him any [16.05.2024 22:30:10] Upalite: which way. [16.05.2024 22:30:13] Upalite: He's a liability. [16.05.2024 22:30:26] TFP)-Firebrand: I've been near one of those camps. Makes me sick thinking about it. [16.05.2024 22:30:32] A/)-Revenant: The treatment of those who wish to be left alone was horrendous. [16.05.2024 22:30:34] Lazurith: Someone's got to stand up to these atrocities, and they answered the clarion call. [16.05.2024 22:30:39] Upalite: We had every opportunity to deal with this little incursion swiftly and quietly, but chose not to. [16.05.2024 22:30:47] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: I've been in one of these camps, it's not pretty. [16.05.2024 22:31:04] A/)-Revenant: I should have been more assertive, but I had recently returned from a long expedition. No matter. [16.05.2024 22:31:05] Lazurith: Scenes like these are happening all throughout Liberty. Right now! [16.05.2024 22:31:07] A/)-Revenant: We learned, we adapt for next time. [16.05.2024 22:31:13] A/)-Revenant: Nothing critical was lost here, thankfully. [16.05.2024 22:31:21] TFP)-Firebrand: The Zoners can be a strange sort but fuck if they didn't deserve that. Could have sworn I saw similar crap in history class. [16.05.2024 22:31:31] A/)-Revenant: Gran Canaria... Bretonia. [16.05.2024 22:31:43] A/)-Revenant: The Miners Guild was pushed out from Magellan from corporate takeover of their remains. [16.05.2024 22:31:44] TFP)-Firebrand: I've never been. Heard it's lovely, though. [16.05.2024 22:31:50] A/)-Revenant: Bering, the Freeport taken down. [16.05.2024 22:32:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Wasn't Bering fucked seven ways to sunday by that Dark Matter storm? Or am I mistaken? [16.05.2024 22:32:15] A/)-Revenant: Alberta. [16.05.2024 22:32:18] Upalite: I'd simply urge you not to let this moment of weakness repeat itself. The Crayterians may look to take advantage, knowing [16.05.2024 22:32:20] A/)-Revenant: You are thinking of Ames. [16.05.2024 22:32:27] Upalite: the blackbox is most likely fully intact and being read out as we speak. [16.05.2024 22:32:33] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Bering was screwed over by Knight and her goons. [16.05.2024 22:32:42] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But I can see how you could get confused. [16.05.2024 22:32:56] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Seems no matter where she goes, someone else pays the price. [16.05.2024 22:32:56] TFP)-Firebrand: Right. I travelled up to Kusari to visit the in-laws a couple of years back. Shit was a mess in that neck of the woods. [16.05.2024 22:33:01] A/)-Revenant: I was not present for the entire situation. But I presume nothing sensitive was revealed. [16.05.2024 22:33:14] A/)-Adonis: Their pilot was caught. The information they gathered is meaningless and non-substantial. [16.05.2024 22:33:21] A/)-Adonis: Nothing exposed. Nothing lost. [16.05.2024 22:33:26] TFP)-Full.Send: The Crayterian? [16.05.2024 22:33:33] A/)-Revenant: Mhm. No data was leaked? [16.05.2024 22:33:36] A/)-Revenant: Aside from Han's presence. [16.05.2024 22:33:37] A/)-Adonis: Negative. [16.05.2024 22:33:38] A/)-Revenant: Nothing critical? [16.05.2024 22:33:38] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I can only hope Ontario is a molten slag heap since she fled to the Xenos there. [16.05.2024 22:33:48] TFP)-Full.Send: Well, [16.05.2024 22:33:53] A/)-Revenant: Liberty is already hostile to Han's people, regardless... [16.05.2024 22:33:57] TFP)-Firebrand: Maybe bits and pieces from me, but nothing that'd be able to blow my cover. [16.05.2024 22:33:59] A/)-Adonis: Nothing non-critical, either. [16.05.2024 22:34:00] TFP)-Full.Send: That's what we like to hear. [16.05.2024 22:34:32] A/)-Adonis: Anything they decide to do over a casual conversation, and reminder of their treaty, would be them once again - [16.05.2024 22:34:35] A/)-Adonis: going back on their word. [16.05.2024 22:34:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Any enemy of Manhattan is a friend of mine, at this point. [16.05.2024 22:34:52] TFP)-Full.Send: That's a little loose, Firebrand. [16.05.2024 22:35:04] TFP)-Full.Send: The Xenos and Rogues would agree with you on that count. [16.05.2024 22:35:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Well, with some exceptions. The Xenos for one. [16.05.2024 22:35:11] A/)-Revenant: Not all enemies of Manhattan are... positive in that regard. [16.05.2024 22:35:16] A/)-Revenant: The Xenos sold out their own people to the Outcasts. [16.05.2024 22:35:27] TFP)-Full.Send: Do you have proof of that, Revenant? [16.05.2024 22:35:29] A/)-Revenant: They would get everyone killed - to be willing slaves of them, just for the illusion of power. [16.05.2024 22:35:30] A/)-Revenant: Yes. [16.05.2024 22:35:31] TFP)-Firebrand: They what. [16.05.2024 22:35:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Prometheus would very much like to see it. [16.05.2024 22:35:44] TFP)-Firebrand: .. Those fucking degenerates. [16.05.2024 22:35:54] A/)-Revenant: I have witnessed De Marco in contact with Morrett. [16.05.2024 22:36:02] Lazurith: They're an item, aren't they. [16.05.2024 22:36:06] A/)-Revenant: Morreti. [16.05.2024 22:36:07] TFP)-Full.Send: Would you be willing to pass that along to Megiddo? [16.05.2024 22:36:11] A/)-Revenant: Their relationship is irrelevant. [16.05.2024 22:36:16] Lazurith: Aha, so they ARE together! [16.05.2024 22:36:18] Lazurith: I knew it. [16.05.2024 22:36:20] A/)-Revenant: Yes. They are. [16.05.2024 22:36:26] A/)-Revenant: But... The deals were made with Xenos as a whole. [16.05.2024 22:36:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Oooh... I hope to god one of my tasking soon is to fuck those Xeno bastards seven ways to sunday, because them almost killing [16.05.2024 22:37:00] TFP)-Firebrand: my ex was one thing - but this? Oh boy. [16.05.2024 22:37:03] TFP)-Full.Send: More likely than not, I can assure you. [16.05.2024 22:37:03] Lazurith: Do they carry STDs? [16.05.2024 22:37:08] A/)-Revenant: ...what... [16.05.2024 22:37:17] TFP)-Full.Send: Very funny. [16.05.2024 22:37:22] TFP)-Firebrand: [He turns to Lazurith.] [16.05.2024 22:37:24] A/)-Revenant: De Marco also has a hand in Hemlocke's Rogue pack. [16.05.2024 22:37:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: That's not something I think any of us need to know. [16.05.2024 22:37:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Do you have a screw loose? [16.05.2024 22:37:32] Lazurith: A few. [16.05.2024 22:37:38] TFP)-Firebrand: Tighten them then. [16.05.2024 22:37:42] TFP)-Full.Send: De Marco isn't a name I'm familiar with. Some Outcast warlord? [16.05.2024 22:37:52] A/)-Revenant: Section Eight, the Order cell, seems to be complacent with the idea that the Xenos are utilising Cardamine as a weapon [16.05.2024 22:38:00] A/)-Revenant: against Liberty's higher profile individuals. [16.05.2024 22:38:04] Lazurith: I'm too lazy to turn on the gravity actuator right now. [16.05.2024 22:38:20] A/)-Revenant: De Marco is another 'diplomat' for a family, I'm not too aware of their Don's name. [16.05.2024 22:38:23] TFP)-Full.Send: From what the Legion knew of Cardamine, I find the Order's willingness to aid in its proliferation concerning. [16.05.2024 22:38:27] TFP)-Firebrand: God bless it -- What's next, are the Xenos going to be kicking puppies and pissing on babies? [16.05.2024 22:38:53] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Pretty sure they already do. [16.05.2024 22:39:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, that sounds about par for the course. [16.05.2024 22:39:09] TFP)-Firebrand: I mean, I knew back in my day, they were absolute parasites, but this just makes them about as bad as the Nomads. [16.05.2024 22:39:36] Lazurith: Ahaha. [16.05.2024 22:39:38] Lazurith: No, not a chance. [16.05.2024 22:39:46] Lazurith: Nothing can compare to them. Sorry. [16.05.2024 22:40:08] A/)-Revenant: Well... [16.05.2024 22:40:11] TFP)-Firebrand: Oh piss off, boy. You know full well my intent with that statement. [16.05.2024 22:40:17] Lazurith: Mhmhm. [16.05.2024 22:40:23] Upalite: Enjoy your reunion. I'm going on tour. [16.05.2024 22:40:27] Lazurith: Bye. [16.05.2024 22:40:29] Upalite: Don't go running off again, Laz. [16.05.2024 22:40:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Be safe. [16.05.2024 22:40:34] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Fly well. [16.05.2024 22:40:37] Lazurith: Running off? I just came back! [16.05.2024 22:40:37] A/)-Revenant: Willing suicide into a genetic decimation is just as bad as parasitic takeover. [16.05.2024 22:40:38] TFP)-Firebrand: What, with Van Perrson? They need a new Guitarist? [16.05.2024 22:40:41] A/)-Revenant: Farewell, Upalite. [16.05.2024 22:41:11] Lazurith: Arghhh. I swear, the SECOND I try to help someone, I... [He groaned and grumbled to himself.] [16.05.2024 22:41:22] Lazurith: Moving on. [16.05.2024 22:41:25] A/)-Revenant: What's wrong? [16.05.2024 22:41:38] Lazurith: Nothing [16.05.2024 22:41:43] A/)-Revenant: That didn't sound like nothing. [16.05.2024 22:41:49] Lazurith: Just-- irrelevant right now. [16.05.2024 22:41:53] Lazurith: Ow. [16.05.2024 22:41:58] Lazurith: Don't spook me like that. [16.05.2024 22:42:33] Lazurith: Ahum. Maybe later. [16.05.2024 22:42:38] A/)-Revenant: Hmm. [16.05.2024 22:42:57] A/)-Adonis: <:: Do /not/ waste time. Speak. ::> [16.05.2024 22:42:58] Lazurith: Anyways - how have your people been doing? Handling an entire Interdictor must be difficult. [16.05.2024 22:43:13] TFP)-Firebrand: It is. I served on one. [16.05.2024 22:43:48] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: It was fairly routine when we flew for the Insurgency. [16.05.2024 22:44:05] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: After the blockade run, that routine kind of just stretched across the whole day. [16.05.2024 22:44:24] Lazurith: Did you keep out of sight in the Independent Worlds? [16.05.2024 22:44:39] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm starting to see Revenant's point about the boy. [16.05.2024 22:45:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Irritating mix of hero complex and utter melancholy. [16.05.2024 22:45:19] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We had to. Liberty still has their people in Coronado, and I don't dare risk Cortez or Magellan. [16.05.2024 22:45:31] TFP)-Firebrand: Seen that before, both when flying bombers and on the Elsmere. [16.05.2024 22:45:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Kids like that either nut up or eat shit. [16.05.2024 22:46:03] TFP)-Firebrand: Usually the latter, and only the former before almost doing the latter. [16.05.2024 22:46:11] TFP)-Full.Send: Look, Captain, what was your name? [16.05.2024 22:46:12] Lazurith: Smart move. [16.05.2024 22:46:33] Lazurith: Coronado is under close watch. The Yellowstone is situated in the orbit of Yuma. [16.05.2024 22:47:08] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Jacklyn Hewitt. Held rank of Commander before the fall. [16.05.2024 22:47:24] A/)-Revenant: I wonder if the Xenos hands off data to the LSF. [16.05.2024 22:47:30] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Not that rank really means much out here. [16.05.2024 22:47:35] TFP)-Full.Send: I see. Commander Hewitt, if you wish to continue the fight, I advise reaching out to Prometheus command staff. [16.05.2024 22:47:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, and the Rookies at West Point fuck around on the Mississipi, your point? [16.05.2024 22:48:09] Lazurith: My point being, that delivering an Interdictor near it could cause them a little trouble. [16.05.2024 22:48:13] TFP)-Full.Send: It's unlikely we can service your ship at this time, given our current operational status, but we can use all the manpower - [16.05.2024 22:48:14] Lazurith: Might get tagged, tracked, recognized. [16.05.2024 22:48:15] TFP)-Full.Send: we can get. [16.05.2024 22:48:33] EmptyPoint died to [KNF]IKN-Kirifuri (72%) [16.05.2024 22:49:11] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I'll try and get a ship-wide meetup to talk it over. Some of the older guys might not want to get tangled up in- [16.05.2024 22:49:16] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed. Maybe the Technocrats can take a peek at that thing's powerplant, see if they can get it running right enough to [16.05.2024 22:49:17] INS-Procyon: -fighting again. [16.05.2024 22:49:25] TFP)-Firebrand: be something resembling combat effective. [16.05.2024 22:49:48] Lazurith: I believe it would probably be wise for the techies to see if there's even enough space to accomodate an Interdictor. [16.05.2024 22:49:52] Lazurith: Things're getting crowded. [16.05.2024 22:49:57] A/)-Revenant: I'd be careful if you need to service with the Junkers. [16.05.2024 22:50:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Powerplant or no isn't the point. You've seen Valravn. It's not exactly overflowing with drydocks. [16.05.2024 22:50:03] A/)-Revenant: They're known for stealing bits and selling out people./ [16.05.2024 22:50:26] A/)-Revenant: As far as production goes, there's a few spots in the docks. [16.05.2024 22:50:32] Lazurith: Are you sure...? [16.05.2024 22:50:35] Lazurith: There's... [16.05.2024 22:50:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Lazurith is right about that one point, shit's getting crowded. Especially with the Abaddon back. [16.05.2024 22:50:40] Lazurith: There's a LOT of ships, okay. [16.05.2024 22:50:48] A/)-Revenant: Lazurith, no offence, but you're not the quartermaster, are you. [16.05.2024 22:50:53] Lazurith: No, but I have a pair of eyes. [16.05.2024 22:51:00] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Abaddon? The Osiris? [16.05.2024 22:51:18] A/)-Revenant: Space-rigging is a possibility. You swap projects in and out. [16.05.2024 22:51:22] A/)-Revenant: You don't work on all things at once. [16.05.2024 22:51:24] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah. Damien fucking Moreno came rolling in from the deep barrier the other day. Ad-hoc honor guard flew escort. [16.05.2024 22:51:32] A/)-Revenant: Moreno? [16.05.2024 22:51:38] A/)-Revenant: That... takes me back. [16.05.2024 22:51:45] TFP)-Full.Send: They look like shit. Both Moreno and the Abaddon. [16.05.2024 22:51:51] TFP)-Full.Send: He's in his 80s now. [16.05.2024 22:51:54] A/)-Revenant: I'm certain that man only runs on rage. [16.05.2024 22:52:05] Lazurith: Just like you. [16.05.2024 22:52:09] A/)-Revenant: I don't run on rage. [16.05.2024 22:52:16] Lazurith: Maybe wine. But also rage. [16.05.2024 22:52:20] A/)-Revenant: Not at all. [16.05.2024 22:52:24] Lazurith: Uh huh. [16.05.2024 22:52:25] TFP)-Full.Send: Lazurith, I understand the irony given that we're the ones with swords on our ships, [16.05.2024 22:52:30] TFP)-Full.Send: But don't cut yourself on that edge. [16.05.2024 22:52:31] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Wonder how he found it. Must've been quite the sight. [16.05.2024 22:52:45] TFP)-Full.Send: Found it? He was aboard during the evac. [16.05.2024 22:52:46] A/)-Revenant: My operating power is spite and pushing for success. [16.05.2024 22:52:46] TFP)-Firebrand: Jesus christ, an Osiris. Those one of the original first gens? From back around 800? [16.05.2024 22:52:57] Lazurith: Edge? I'm just being witty, friend. [16.05.2024 22:53:03] Lazurith: Like always. [16.05.2024 22:53:05] A/)-Revenant: That's not really wit though, is it. [16.05.2024 22:53:10] TFP)-Full.Send: Not so sure myself. It has a history. That ship was originally with Auxo before it made its way into the Legion's hands. [16.05.2024 22:53:13] TFP)-Full.Send: And then the Insurgency. [16.05.2024 22:53:17] Lazurith: I wasn't trying to offend. [16.05.2024 22:53:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, Wit - so much wit you should get your ass a pizza cutter. [16.05.2024 22:53:28] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I recall it now! [16.05.2024 22:53:30] Lazurith: What...? [16.05.2024 22:53:38] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Have you found any others? I imagine there were quite a few from that callout we never got. [16.05.2024 22:53:45] A/)-Revenant: The Osiris was originally a part of the Order Overwatch. [16.05.2024 22:53:48] TFP)-Full.Send: West made contact. Incursus lives. [16.05.2024 22:53:48] A/)-Revenant: That one in particular. [16.05.2024 22:53:50] A/)-Revenant: I remember now. [16.05.2024 22:53:57] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Thank Christ.. [16.05.2024 22:54:06] TFP)-Full.Send: She has a few Warhammer and Gladius assets with her, but they're fucked to shit. [16.05.2024 22:54:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Who the hell doesn't have an Osiris these days.. [16.05.2024 22:54:24] TFP)-Firebrand: I wouldn't be surprised if the IMG had one. [16.05.2024 22:54:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Incursus /is/ one of the old ones, Firebrand. That ship.. are you familiar with the original Spyglass-class? [16.05.2024 22:54:54] TFP)-Firebrand: Eeeh.. Not exactly. I've heard about em, but never saw one in person. [16.05.2024 22:55:14] TFP)-Full.Send: The Legion was founded around it. The Ragnarok. Goofy name for a Libertonian warship. [16.05.2024 22:55:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I heard about that final square-up in Magellan. I'm surprised she kept that many together. [16.05.2024 22:55:32] TFP)-Full.Send: This was the closing days of the Colony wars. They turned in that battlegroup's CO, Drake Thastus. [16.05.2024 22:55:39] TFP)-Firebrand: Keep in mind. I worked with Sec Fleet, 19th Independent - we mainly got sent into Bretonia with the occasional relieve.. only [16.05.2024 22:55:46] TFP)-Firebrand: to sit on our ass and guard the Alaska corridor. [16.05.2024 22:55:59] TFP)-Full.Send: He slipped the Ragnarok and its retinue out to Magellan. Later on, the Ragnarok - after extensive study - was torn apart. [16.05.2024 22:56:14] TFP)-Full.Send: We traded the Spyglass scanning array to The Order in exchange for the Incursus. [16.05.2024 22:56:22] TFP)-Full.Send: She's an old girl. [16.05.2024 22:56:34] TFP)-Full.Send: Sunrise, Incursus, and Ven'Gyr. The oldest of the old. [16.05.2024 22:57:00] TFP)-Firebrand: The Order. Dad told me stories about his service during the Colony Wars. It was nuts. [16.05.2024 22:57:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Shadow of what they once were. The Order fell low. [16.05.2024 22:57:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yep. [16.05.2024 22:57:27] Lazurith: Good thing the techies exist. [16.05.2024 22:57:34] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah. It is. [16.05.2024 22:57:35] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Any word on the Sunrise? We broke off contact with her last, and I know she survived the blockade. [16.05.2024 22:57:38] Lazurith: So that they can do what they do, minus the war crimes. [16.05.2024 22:58:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Moreno reported Sunrise was with Abaddon two years ago, but they were separated. It at least narrows our search radius. [16.05.2024 22:58:14] A/)-Revenant: Considering they have massacred civilians under the guise of "they're possible infectees" - it's not a great idea to [16.05.2024 22:58:21] A/)-Revenant: put them high up on some pedalstool of 'praise' [16.05.2024 22:58:24] TFP)-Full.Send: News regarding Ven'Gyr is more grim. [16.05.2024 22:58:34] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I know. Fucking Crayter.. [16.05.2024 22:58:44] A/)-Revenant: Did they blow it up? [16.05.2024 22:58:49] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Plastered that news article over every station in the Taus. [16.05.2024 22:58:49] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo has a plan. Some kind of big op. But mum is the word on that so far. [16.05.2024 22:59:00] TFP)-Full.Send: I wish. They have her. They have our girl. [16.05.2024 22:59:04] A/)-Revenant: Oh. [16.05.2024 22:59:05] A/)-Revenant: Oh no. [16.05.2024 22:59:11] TFP)-Full.Send: And they can't even figure out how to get her moving again, is the funniest fucking part. [16.05.2024 22:59:19] A/)-Revenant: Saaaay... [16.05.2024 22:59:22] TFP)-Full.Send: Ven'Gyr was always falling apart. That ship needs Legion techs. [16.05.2024 22:59:23] A/)-Revenant: Anyone feeling nostalgic again? [16.05.2024 22:59:28] TFP)-Full.Send: Always. [16.05.2024 22:59:31] A/)-Revenant: Up for another run of pinching from drydocks? [16.05.2024 22:59:33] A/)-Revenant: Heheheh. [16.05.2024 22:59:50] TFP)-Full.Send: Coordinate with Megiddo on that one. Like I said, whispers about that big op. [16.05.2024 23:00:06] A/)-Revenant: Mmm. Fickle circumstances. Navy all around. [16.05.2024 23:00:11] A/)-Revenant: Outcasts are not too happy either. [16.05.2024 23:00:13] TFP)-Full.Send: "He" considers Ven'Gyr's recovery imperative. I can't say why, though. [16.05.2024 23:00:19] A/)-Revenant: That's... [16.05.2024 23:00:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah - I remember hearing how you Technocrats would literally make Order ships disappear, and somehow reappear with a purple [16.05.2024 23:00:20] A/)-Revenant: Odd. [16.05.2024 23:00:26] TFP)-Firebrand: coat of paint. [16.05.2024 23:00:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Manticore is out there somewhere, and we have Incursus. Both in better shape than Ven'Gyr, to be certain. [16.05.2024 23:00:41] TFP)-Firebrand: Whispers I'd hear at the bar between LSF guys, but still. Shit's nuts. [16.05.2024 23:00:47] A/)-Revenant: Are you sure it's a good idea to get so many large assets back? Well - I mean - you could retrofit them into one super [16.05.2024 23:00:51] A/)-Revenant: station for a hidden base of ops. [16.05.2024 23:00:54] A/)-Revenant: Rather than flying them all. [16.05.2024 23:01:03] A/)-Revenant: Large vessels, large emissions, easier detection. [16.05.2024 23:01:13] TFP)-Full.Send: I think the idea is to slip them away somewhere safe and repair them piecemeal. [16.05.2024 23:01:25] Lazurith: Wrong move. It would be best to move the whole retinue together in a nomad fleet of sorts. [16.05.2024 23:01:28] TFP)-Firebrand: It'd be wise for us to have a battlegroup stationed in some sort of cloud, work on them like Revenant said, do it in EVA. [16.05.2024 23:01:31] TFP)-Full.Send: We certainly don't have the crew or resources to maintain them all right now. [16.05.2024 23:01:33] Lazurith: Exactly. [16.05.2024 23:01:37] A/)-Revenant: The issue with that is supplies and upkeep. [16.05.2024 23:01:50] A/)-Revenant: Resources for repairs are expensive. [16.05.2024 23:01:50] TFP)-Full.Send: It's going to be slow going. We know that. [16.05.2024 23:01:54] A/)-Revenant: Unless you plan to keep on stealing parts. [16.05.2024 23:02:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Depends from who. [16.05.2024 23:02:21] Lazurith: You would have to nab military grade replacement parts from all over the damn place. [16.05.2024 23:02:27] TFP)-Firebrand: Sadly when you start stealing ships from people who own them, 9 times out of ten, fixing them up isn't going to work out easy. [16.05.2024 23:02:43] Lazurith: Besides, odds are, the Junkers probably beat you to it already by now. [16.05.2024 23:02:46] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A good thing Liberty's throwing the Navy at every problem, then. [16.05.2024 23:03:27] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: And credits can solve that Junker issue. [16.05.2024 23:03:48] Lazurith: Not if they steal vital components before handing you a scam. [16.05.2024 23:03:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, and if they're anything like when we fought the gauls, they hope it sticks, and don't bother with strategy. [16.05.2024 23:04:16] Lazurith: Gotta be careful when dealing with the devil, is all. [16.05.2024 23:04:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah yes, just what I always wanted, some Samura Astrionics slapjob for a Quantum AESA search and track radar.. [16.05.2024 23:04:32] TFP)-Full.Send: We maintained our own ships. We know how to make those parts, that's not the issue. [16.05.2024 23:04:32] TFP)-Firebrand: instead of the Ageira one, y'know, that was put on the damned thing when she was built. [16.05.2024 23:04:37] TFP)-Full.Send: Money and facilities and personnel are. [16.05.2024 23:04:40] A/)-Revenant: Oh. Erhm. [16.05.2024 23:04:44] A/)-Revenant: I do need someone for a favour. [16.05.2024 23:04:46] A/)-Revenant: I will be paying. [16.05.2024 23:04:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Mm? [16.05.2024 23:04:50] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I imagine having West and her techs will only help. [16.05.2024 23:04:56] A/)-Revenant: I need someone to find a smuggler to deliver some medicine shipments to Erie. [16.05.2024 23:05:00] A/)-Revenant: I'll pay 750,000 credits. [16.05.2024 23:05:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, I'd sooner grind my ass on sandpaper than trust a Junker to change a lightbulb without stealing the fucker. [16.05.2024 23:05:22] TFP)-Full.Send: Frankly that's already in the works regardless. I can make sure it happens. Don't need the money. [16.05.2024 23:05:30] TFP)-Firebrand: I can sort that out. [16.05.2024 23:05:41] A/)-Revenant: Well, it'll cover the costs of grabbing the medical shipment, but there's a specific one you need to grab [16.05.2024 23:05:43] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, it's your first day here. [16.05.2024 23:05:45] A/)-Revenant: from er... The Freeport in Tau-29 [16.05.2024 23:05:45] Lazurith: I'm pretty much an independent. [16.05.2024 23:05:59] Lazurith: Just give me the assignment. Look no further. [16.05.2024 23:06:16] A/)-Revenant: You cannot do the run, for you are on a watchlist, but you can find a person to do the run. [16.05.2024 23:06:24] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah. Right. [16.05.2024 23:06:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Understandable. [16.05.2024 23:06:40] Lazurith: What? On whose watchlist am I on? [16.05.2024 23:06:41] TFP)-Firebrand: Sorry, just offering to assist. [16.05.2024 23:06:44] A/)-Revenant: The LSF's. [16.05.2024 23:06:46] TFP)-Firebrand: I am, boy. [16.05.2024 23:06:49] Lazurith: You don't know that. [16.05.2024 23:06:52] A/)-Revenant: I do. [16.05.2024 23:06:57] Lazurith: Do you have proof? [16.05.2024 23:06:57] A/)-Revenant: Because you're flying around with the same name. [16.05.2024 23:06:59] A/)-Revenant: The same attitude. [16.05.2024 23:07:02] A/)-Revenant: It's not rocket science. [16.05.2024 23:07:11] A/)-Revenant: You'll draw attention to the village I need the deliveryt sent to. [16.05.2024 23:07:26] Lazurith: I'm not using this thing for deliveries, you dingbat. [16.05.2024 23:07:28] Lazurith: I'm not that stupid. [16.05.2024 23:07:33] A/)-Revenant: Whatever the case, finding a runner shouldn't be hard. [16.05.2024 23:07:42] Lazurith: I... /literally/ have a dedicated vessel for this sort of stuff. [16.05.2024 23:07:48] Lazurith: C'mon. [16.05.2024 23:07:51] TFP)-Firebrand: There no nuggets in your ranks that can take the job? [16.05.2024 23:07:54] Lazurith: I did this before.

[16.05.2024 23:08:32] A/)-Revenant: Maybe your ship wanted to go on out for walkies. [16.05.2024 23:08:34] Lazurith: Some asshole ID-spoofed my hatch locks. [16.05.2024 23:08:43] A/)-Revenant: And, of course, Full Send. [16.05.2024 23:08:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Last time I saw a ship go out for Walkies, it decided Zone-21 was a lovely resting place.

[16.05.2024 23:09:01] Lazurith: Are you going to forward me the details? [16.05.2024 23:09:35] Lazurith: I kind of just halved my pockets over a Crayterian, I need to rebuild my fiscal reserves somehow. [16.05.2024 23:14:06] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Gonna guess that's a no. [16.05.2024 23:15:08] Subversion: Greetings. [16.05.2024 23:15:34] A/)-Revenant: Freelancer. [16.05.2024 23:15:55] Subversion: Ah, I was wondering where you'd gone.

You wouldn't caught me dead with that name. No offense to any Peter...s... in the area. [16.05.2024 23:18:16] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I think I have a Peter down in engineering.

You're making me long for some fruit salad. [16.05.2024 23:52:06] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I think we found salad flavored synth paste to buy.. [16.05.2024 23:52:15] TFP)-Firebrand: So you're telling me, my - our CO - is some amalgamation of a bunch of Commonwealth HROs? [16.05.2024 23:52:29] Lazurith: What the heck is an HRO?

I saw a Nomad out in the distance once while [16.05.2024 23:53:33] TFP)-Full.Send: Both Megiddo and West thought it too dangerous not to cooperate, given the disperate state of what remains. [16.05.2024 23:53:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Too easy for us to turn on each other. [16.05.2024 23:53:46] TFP)-Firebrand: heading back to Bretonia, with a Kusari Gunboat chasing it, blaring La Cucharacha over the guard band. [16.05.2024 23:53:57] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Blaring what? [16.05.2024 23:54:13] TFP)-Firebrand: I had to ask my FCO if being in space for so long had made me lose it. [16.05.2024 23:54:15] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I don't know.. [16.05.2024 23:54:20] Lazurith: It is okay - there is always a quick and easy way to rid yourself of Nomads. [16.05.2024 23:54:24] TFP)-Full.Send: Were you and Lord Commander West close, Mark? [16.05.2024 23:54:27] TFP)-Firebrand: Some Corsair music, dates back to Terra. [16.05.2024 23:54:46] Lazurith: If you ever have to deal with Nomads, there is an incredibly simple thing you can do to get rid of them. Works every time. [16.05.2024 23:54:51] Lazurith: Just shoot at them until they die! [16.05.2024 23:54:53] TFP)-Firebrand: What, kiss and make up? [16.05.2024 23:55:05] Lazurith: We can kiss and make out, if you want. [16.05.2024 23:55:06] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah, the logical decision. [16.05.2024 23:55:07] Subversion: I've had some distrust over her regarding evacuation, but when she fought for our side years later in Kansas, [16.05.2024 23:55:09] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Anyway, is the Juneau holding up? I can't imagine the years have been as nice as they were to us. [16.05.2024 23:55:12] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm not gay, boy. [16.05.2024 23:55:13] Lazurith: I mean, I'm available. [16.05.2024 23:55:15] Lazurith: Damn. [16.05.2024 23:55:15] Subversion: I finally knew she could be worthy once again. [16.05.2024 23:55:29] TFP)-Firebrand: .. Not that I have a problem with them. Just not my MO. [16.05.2024 23:55:29] Lazurith: Can't blame a guy for trying. [16.05.2024 23:55:41] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Ehm.. Well.. M-Most of the.. Original crew that escaped is.. dead..

[16.05.2024 23:56:00] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Jackson was the last of any bridge officers.. But now that he's dead too.. [16.05.2024 23:56:37] TFP)-Full.Send: All these capital vessels coming home to roost and no way to service them. It's a real problem. [16.05.2024 23:57:05] TFP)-Firebrand: I say we take a couple of the dry dock ports from the Junkers. [16.05.2024 23:57:18] TFP)-Firebrand: They seem keen on screwing over other people, why not return the favor? [16.05.2024 23:57:32] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't think we want that heat right now. I understand the sentinment though, believe me. [16.05.2024 23:57:40] TFP)-Firebrand: You steal my AESA radar, I rip your fucking drydock off the damn station. [16.05.2024 23:57:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Sounds about fair. [16.05.2024 23:57:54] TFP)-Firebrand: Maybe take the station too. [16.05.2024 23:58:02] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well.. We've been receiving repairs from the.. Junkers.. Although theyre mostly.. Scared of the ex-Marines we keep- [16.05.2024 23:58:04] Cruiser.Juneau: S: Around.. [16.05.2024 23:58:47] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Intimidation only goes so far. We were lucky that a lot of the Zoners we worked with didn't need much. [16.05.2024 23:58:49] TFP)-Full.Send: So tell me Juneau, you didn't join up with Knight and the Xenos. [16.05.2024 23:58:58] TFP)-Full.Send: Any interest in declaring for what's left of the Legion? [16.05.2024 23:59:14] TFP)-Full.Send: Seems like that's what the Procyon will be doing. [16.05.2024 23:59:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We were.. Originally to join the Discovery in it's mission to hunt down Knight.. But we didn't make it through.. Last- [16.05.2024 23:59:37] TFP)-Firebrand: We could use all the hands we could get. [16.05.2024 23:59:40] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I need to talk with the rest of the crew, but the offer is definitely of interest. [16.05.2024 23:59:49] Cruiser.Juneau: S: Transmission we got was.. The Discovery being jumped by a Navy blocking force.. [16.05.2024 23:59:55] TFP)-Full.Send: We could use your help finishing the fight. [17.05.2024 00:01:24] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We.. We were never with the Legion.. Although.. I can count on one hand how many Separatist crew members are left.. [17.05.2024 00:01:42] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: There's only that many left? [17.05.2024 00:01:56] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Years of fighting off the Navy.. [17.05.2024 00:02:00] TFP)-Full.Send: The way I see it, we're the closest thing left to what you fought for. [17.05.2024 00:02:13] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeaah.. when Liberty stops fucking around, they make you find out real fast. [17.05.2024 00:02:17] TFP)-Full.Send: You deemed Knight a traitor, no? [17.05.2024 00:02:30] TFP)-Firebrand: Though truth be told, it took too long for the Gauls to find out from my experience. [17.05.2024 00:02:39] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Yeah.. Like I said, we were to be part of the remaining ships to break through and find her.. [17.05.2024 00:02:43] TFP)-Full.Send: I think that commonality is probably enough. [17.05.2024 00:02:49] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: But.. The Navy stopped us.. Captured the Discovery.. [17.05.2024 00:03:00] TFP)-Full.Send: The Discovery, that was an Overlord if memory serves. Maybe a Monument class. [17.05.2024 00:03:02] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: They warned us in time.. We waded out the attacks and slipped away.. [17.05.2024 00:04:00] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I.. I'd have to get a decision and.. I'm sorry.. I was never trained to command a ship.. I used to work in gunnery.. [17.05.2024 00:04:15] TFP)-Firebrand: It's all good son. [17.05.2024 00:04:36] TFP)-Firebrand: Good on you for keeping the thing in one piece for this long. [17.05.2024 00:04:56] TFP)-Full.Send: What the old man said. You've a ship and a crew. It's grim, but it's not nothing. [17.05.2024 00:05:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Can't imagine someone with minimal leadership experience lasting this long, but here you are. [17.05.2024 00:05:31] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well.. Jackson just died.. Like, an hour ago.. [17.05.2024 00:05:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: He was in charge..

[17.05.2024 00:06:50] Lazurith: Fourthed...? [17.05.2024 00:06:57] TFP)-Firebrand: You should take the sentiment, not the way it's delivered. [17.05.2024 00:07:00] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: You got the intent, though. [17.05.2024 00:07:08] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Yeah.. I did.. [17.05.2024 00:07:24] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't think I caught your name by the way. [17.05.2024 00:08:49] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Of the old crew, I'm what's left in charge.. Sorry. Lieutenant Allison Smith, formerly Insurgent Navy. [17.05.2024 00:09:02] Lazurith: Aw nuts. You too? [17.05.2024 00:09:09] TFP)-Firebrand: I can't disclose my name for INFOSEC reasons. But just call me Firebrand. [17.05.2024 00:09:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Smith, Hewitt. Do you have any pilots aboard? It may be some time before we can field the Juneau and Procyon under our flag. [17.05.2024 00:09:33] Subversion: At least we're fortunate to be all here. [17.05.2024 00:09:47] TFP)-Full.Send: But we could use all the pilots we can get. We should be able to scrounge up a gunship or two as well. [17.05.2024 00:10:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Suffice to say if I had kids like you, I'd be proud.. kind of like my Father was before I retired. [17.05.2024 00:10:12] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Some of our handimen were fighter pilots.. Navy trained.. Went awol for various reasons.. [17.05.2024 00:10:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Still can't get over that talk. [17.05.2024 00:11:03] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We had the old internals for a minor docking bay.. Though the fighter inside has been parted away for hull patching.. [17.05.2024 00:11:15] TFP)-Full.Send: We can source strikecraft.

A few of them might be interested. [17.05.2024 00:12:32] TFP)-Full.Send: That's very good to hear. [17.05.2024 00:12:41] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: It's been years since they've flown sorties, though, so they may need refreshers.

[17.05.2024 00:15:16] TFP)-Full.Send: I already went over tentative plans for how we're handling intake.

[17.05.2024 00:16:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Can I deck him? [17.05.2024 00:16:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: For now.. I can send one of the handimen with.. A fighter we can scrape up from a dead Rogue. [17.05.2024 00:16:38] Lazurith: Management? I mean rationing. [17.05.2024 00:16:39] TFP)-Full.Send: The Abaddon limped home with a skeleton crew of 60 odd Legionnaires. [17.05.2024 00:16:41] TFP)-Full.Send: We have room. [17.05.2024 00:16:45] TFP)-Full.Send: Mind your own. [17.05.2024 00:16:47] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We'll.. Operate as we have been for the time being.. [17.05.2024 00:16:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Because that boy's pissing me off. [17.05.2024 00:17:04] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Until you can accomodate us, anyway.. [17.05.2024 00:17:31] Lazurith: I'm sorry, /we/? [17.05.2024 00:17:44] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Theres a lot of people crewing a cruiser.. [17.05.2024 00:17:48] Lazurith: I know what's going on in the place I live in, thank you very much. [17.05.2024 00:18:02] TFP)-Full.Send: Wish we could. [17.05.2024 00:18:18] Lazurith: I'm just giving my few credits, is all. [17.05.2024 00:20:29] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, we should pack it in for now. [17.05.2024 00:20:44] TFP)-Full.Send: Procyon, Juneau, Subversion. You all know how to reach us. [17.05.2024 00:20:48] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed. Any longer in this chair and I'll be able to be sold as one. [17.05.2024 00:20:51] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We'll be in touch. [17.05.2024 00:21:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, on my wing. [17.05.2024 00:21:03] TFP)-Full.Send: The rest of you, be safe. [17.05.2024 00:21:12] Lazurith: Buh-bye. [17.05.2024 00:21:13] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Juneau, you're more than welcome to keep here at the Freeport. [17.05.2024 00:21:16] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We'll seend one guy over when we can..

[17.05.2024 00:22:47] Lazurith: Fuck off. [17.05.2024 00:22:53] TFP)-Firebrand: [He laughs.] [17.05.2024 00:22:56] TFP)-Full.Send: Alright, keep it business. [17.05.2024 00:22:59] Lazurith: Can't believe I'm helping you people. [17.05.2024 00:23:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, I get the sentiment, but try to be a little more diplomatic. [17.05.2024 00:23:43] TFP)-Full.Send: We don't have a lot of friends right now. [17.05.2024 00:23:54] TFP)-Firebrand: I'll try to. Never was one for that kind of mindset, but I'll try. [17.05.2024 00:24:00] TFP)-Full.Send: I get it. [17.05.2024 00:24:20] TFP)-Firebrand: It's just - the boy really gets on me. [17.05.2024 00:24:21] TFP)-Full.Send: Also, be sure to get yourself a Lich. [17.05.2024 00:24:34] TFP)-Firebrand: Longsword no good here? [17.05.2024 00:24:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Longsword is a nice duelist, but it'll fail you in a dogfight. [17.05.2024 00:24:42] TFP)-Firebrand: Fair point. [17.05.2024 00:24:55] TFP)-Firebrand: You think I should sell the Broadsword I've got Stashed on Cali Minor? [17.05.2024 00:25:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Broadsword is a classic, hard to part with. [17.05.2024 00:25:08] TFP)-Firebrand: Haven't flown snubs in years, keep in mind. [17.05.2024 00:25:14] TFP)-Full.Send: But, [17.05.2024 00:25:21] TFP)-Full.Send: I've heard good things about the Lance. [17.05.2024 00:25:30] TFP)-Firebrand: Know where I can get one? [17.05.2024 00:25:37] TFP)-Full.Send: Not a clue. Ask a Technocrat. [17.05.2024 00:25:48] TFP)-Firebrand: Sounds good. My kingdom for my old bomber. [17.05.2024 00:25:49] TFP)-Full.Send: Oh, Falchion is a decent choice also in lieu of a Lich. [17.05.2024 00:25:54] TFP)-Firebrand: She flew like a dream. [17.05.2024 00:25:58] TFP)-Full.Send: But the Lich is very likely the best we've got [17.05.2024 00:26:06] TFP)-Firebrand: I've seen Lane Hackers flying those. Not half bad. [17.05.2024 00:26:15] TFP)-Firebrand: The Falchions, I mean.

Linked up with a ship, the Dinner Bell. ..Who names these ships?

Anywho - the guy was another former Legionnaire. Not really much to report as I came in in the midst of Full Send having a chat with him.

Beyond that, not much to report.

[18.05.2024 02:33:07] TFP)-Firebrand: I mean, breathing matters to me, but that's because I don't know the context of all this.

[18.05.2024 02:34:11] Dinner.Bell:  ... We'll see how it goes.

[18.05.2024 02:35:55] TFP)-Full.Send: We will. I'm personally willing to take that leap. For the first time in six years, it feels like the Legion may be back on 

[18.05.2024 02:36:02] TFP)-Full.Send: the right track. I don't say that lightly.

[18.05.2024 02:36:08] TFP)-Full.Send: I've served since 814.

[18.05.2024 02:37:42] Dinner.Bell: As I said before, I'll think about it.

[18.05.2024 02:38:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Can you at least answer one honest, and clear question?

[18.05.2024 02:38:21] Dinner.Bell: Give it a try.

[18.05.2024 02:38:52] TFP)-Full.Send: What would you need to see from Prometheus to truly bring you around?

[18.05.2024 02:39:57] TFP)-Firebrand: Guy's ship looks like a Dinner Bell if you squashed the thing if you ask me.

[18.05.2024 02:40:10] TFP)-Full.Send: A bit.

[18.05.2024 02:40:54] Dinner.Bell: Well, for one, I'd like to know under what terms I have to be to become part of your team.

[18.05.2024 02:41:17] Dinner.Bell: And what plans there are in motion.

[18.05.2024 02:41:40] TFP)-Full.Send: What was your rank prior to The Fall? Megiddo has made it a habit of reinstating former Legionnaires at their last known rank.

[18.05.2024 02:43:13] TFP)-Full.Send: That would be the difference between parting with your gunship or not, at least temporarily.

[18.05.2024 02:43:57] TFP)-Full.Send: Beyond that, the typical Legion code of conduct. No piracy, civilians to be protected, nothing extreme. You're not expecting -

[18.05.2024 02:44:09] TFP)-Full.Send: some weird Technocraft implant shit, are you?

[18.05.2024 02:44:55] Dinner.Bell: I served on the secondary fleet, I was facing Ohio's battlegroup before everything went to shit three years ago.

[18.05.2024 02:45:01] TFP)-Firebrand: When I saw Valravn I was expecting you all to tackle me and put a robotic dildo on my arm.

[18.05.2024 02:45:25] Dinner.Bell: I surely was expecting something among those lines, yeah.

[18.05.2024 02:45:32] TFP)-Firebrand: Suffice to say I'm torn between dissappointment and relief.

[18.05.2024 02:46:18] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: Hah! That would've been a sight to see. Nothing crazy but I've been impressed with their level of tech to say the least.

[18.05.2024 02:46:19] Dinner.Bell: *chuckles* Right... Nothing surprising there.

[18.05.2024 02:46:47] Dinner.Bell: I wouldn't trust none of their toys even if I got paid to rely on them.

[18.05.2024 02:48:11] TFP)-Full.Send: No, none of that. Megiddo and West have both been respectful to the bodily of autonomy of Prometheus' soldiers.

[18.05.2024 02:48:38] Dinner.Bell: So, you don't have to deal with none of /them/?

[18.05.2024 02:48:50] TFP)-Full.Send: The Technocrats? They're our patrons, not our overlords.

[18.05.2024 02:49:37] Dinner.Bell:  ... That's good news.

[18.05.2024 02:49:50] TFP)-Full.Send: Not all of us like it. Shit, I'm a little creeped out by them myself. But they've been good to us.

[18.05.2024 02:49:55] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, they're nice - if you're friends of their friends. Otherwise they'll scowl at you and tell you to fuck off to this

[18.05.2024 02:50:00] TFP)-Firebrand: floating dumpsterfire.

[18.05.2024 02:50:15] TFP)-Firebrand: That or the other floating dumpsterfire.

[18.05.2024 02:50:19] TFP)-Full.Send: We have our own little wing on Valravn, and we're beginning to move crew over to the Abaddon since she came back so.. empty.

[18.05.2024 02:50:26] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: Well besides the occasional escort, logistics run, or expedition nothing too wild as of late. I prefer to keep out of the 

[18.05.2024 02:50:33] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: 'exotic' adventures.

[18.05.2024 02:51:49] Dinner.Bell: You said no piracy... Right.

[18.05.2024 02:51:59] Dinner.Bell: Could I sortie on my own vessels when off duty?

[18.05.2024 02:52:11] TFP)-Full.Send: No piracy, no running cardamine. Small amounts fine for personal use.

[18.05.2024 02:52:23] TFP)-Full.Send: Depends - are you using those vessels for piracy?

[18.05.2024 02:52:34] Dinner.Bell: No.

[18.05.2024 02:52:44] TFP)-Full.Send: Then there won't be any problems there.

[18.05.2024 02:53:01] Dinner.Bell: Great.

[18.05.2024 02:53:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Not to beat a dead horse, but that bit about OS&C earlier.

[18.05.2024 02:54:14] Dinner.Bell: What about it?

[18.05.2024 02:54:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Was that just bitterness, or is there some real reason you'd rather not have civilian corporations operating in Vespucci?

[18.05.2024 02:54:59] Dinner.Bell: It's not the fact they're corporations, but rather what kind of corporations they are.

[18.05.2024 02:55:50] Dinner.Bell: I don't think them particularly deserve Vespucci.

[18.05.2024 02:56:38] Dinner.Bell: And I wouldn't want that lot turning Veracruz into some sort of amusement park for fat-ones and rich sons of bitches.

[18.05.2024 02:57:12] TFP)-Firebrand: Vespucci's tragedy isn't something to be made light of, that much is true in our ranks.

[18.05.2024 02:57:15] TFP)-Full.Send: I understand. And we call it Guadalajara, still.

[18.05.2024 02:57:48] Dinner.Bell: Well... It's evident we didn't deserve it ourselves, let alone them.

[18.05.2024 02:57:58] TFP)-Full.Send: Orbital is a group we worked with closely in the past. We can't do anything without backing, and fire support.

[18.05.2024 02:58:12] TFP)-Full.Send: The Xenos want it for themselves, we believe.

[18.05.2024 02:58:28] Dinner.Bell: Doesn't surprise me.

[18.05.2024 02:58:34] Dinner.Bell: Likewise with the Gaians.

[18.05.2024 02:58:44] TFP)-Full.Send: I'd rather have a coalition of people who actually give a shit about the Legion's and the Commonwealth's ideals working -

[18.05.2024 02:58:48] Dinner.Bell: They're often forgotten, they're still around that area.

[18.05.2024 02:58:55] TFP)-Full.Send: together to repel the Xenos and Gaians, than let them take our home.

[18.05.2024 02:59:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Fucking Xenos can take it from our cold dead hands.

[18.05.2024 02:59:57] Dinner.Bell: *chuckles* You think Orbital cares about Legion's ideals?

[18.05.2024 03:00:33] TFP)-Full.Send: I think they care little enough about the Republic's to provide us with funding and assist us against unwanted elements in the 

[18.05.2024 03:00:34] TFP)-Full.Send: region.

[18.05.2024 03:00:45] TFP)-Firebrand: I may have been in these ranks for only a few weeks, but even back then I had a hate boner for those bastards.

[18.05.2024 03:00:53] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: I'll be heading back to the Citadel here. You fine folks have a lovely time.

[18.05.2024 03:01:05] TFP)-Full.Send: You sure you want to do that?

[18.05.2024 03:01:05] TFP)-Firebrand: Godspeed.

[18.05.2024 03:01:41] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, I know you've already got one AAR on your plate, but do you mind a second one on this?

[18.05.2024 03:02:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Fuck me.. I guess I can't say no. Still writing up that first one.

[18.05.2024 03:02:21] TFP)-Full.Send: Just append it. Initiate Crowe did wrote up a decent composite report.

[18.05.2024 03:02:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Understood, sir.

[18.05.2024 03:03:28] TFP)-Firebrand: But yes - the bastards tried to kill my wife for being Kusari, and when I sent a wing out to hunt down their boss personally..

[18.05.2024 03:03:51] TFP)-Firebrand: they tried to firebomb my parents' house on Los Angeles.

[18.05.2024 03:04:11] TFP)-Firebrand: So suffice to say, I'm from Manhattan, and I say kill every last Xeno in the sector.

[18.05.2024 03:04:23] Dinner.Bell: The marvels of Liberty.

[18.05.2024 03:05:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Like you wouldn't believe. Honestly, between the Legion and the Xenos, I'd rather leave you all alone, knowing what I know now.

[18.05.2024 03:05:44] Dinner.Bell: Well, you can see I did that for the last few years.

[18.05.2024 03:06:18] TFP)-Full.Send: For the record, Hawthorne,

[18.05.2024 03:06:38] TFP)-Full.Send: Given your position as second fleet and the difficulties that come with obtaining those service records, you may need to part -

[18.05.2024 03:06:49] TFP)-Full.Send: with your gunship, at least flying Prometheus' colors.

[18.05.2024 03:06:59] TFP)-Full.Send: Is that a sacrifice you're willing to accept?

[18.05.2024 03:07:15] Dinner.Bell: I wasn't planning on making the Bell part of Prometheus regardless.

[18.05.2024 03:07:24] TFP)-Full.Send: I see. Something of a home?

[18.05.2024 03:07:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Don't feel too bad, Hawthorne. At least you're not feeling naked not running a battlecruiser like me.

[18.05.2024 03:07:46] Dinner.Bell: It's my off-duty personal vessel, so to speak.

[18.05.2024 03:07:56] TFP)-Firebrand: [Sighs.] All in due time, all in due time.

[18.05.2024 03:08:12] TFP)-Firebrand: Though, the Nostalgia of running snubcraft at least cushioned the fall.

[18.05.2024 03:08:38] TFP)-Firebrand: Though.. then again - I spent the past two years wallowing in my own self pity on a couch watching terran sitcoms.

[18.05.2024 03:08:45] Dinner.Bell: Speaking of that, I got one small ship waiting on Halifax, I guess you wouldn't have any issue with that one.

[18.05.2024 03:09:29] TFP)-Full.Send: What is it?

[18.05.2024 03:09:35] Dinner.Bell: A Bayonet.

[18.05.2024 03:10:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Bayonet would be fine, although command staff are requiring all Legionnaires to keep a Prosecutor in active service.

[18.05.2024 03:10:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Tradition, decorum, all that.

[18.05.2024 03:10:35] TFP)-Full.Send: I need to handle some paperwork. Firebrand, I expect that AAR as soon as possible.

[18.05.2024 03:10:45] Dinner.Bell: Yeah, I assume that's the standard-issued ship.

[18.05.2024 03:10:48] TFP)-Full.Send: This has been a good talk, Legionnaire Hawthorne.

[18.05.2024 03:11:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Lich is what we use for real combat, standard-issue.

[18.05.2024 03:11:10] Dinner.Bell:  ... I wasn't expecting to hear that ever again...

[18.05.2024 03:11:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Easier to source, ironically. And pretty frightening.

[18.05.2024 03:11:27] Dinner.Bell: Lich? I'd rather keep the Bayonet.

[18.05.2024 03:11:39] TFP)-Full.Send: No need to ditch it.

[18.05.2024 03:11:52] TFP)-Full.Send: Alright, I have to pack it in. We'll be in touch, I presume.

Final bit of this one - it's not a sortie, though it's something of note. I heard from some of the guys with the logistics squadrons that they were needing some stuff for heavier loads - so I went and bought this Train I got off of one of the Technocrats after seeing it advertised in the commons, Yoruha I think her name was, some Kusari girl - it's from an old small Gran Can concern, StarCat, went defunct years ago according to the records.

I've passed the auth codes and title over to the Quartermaster. Consider it an offer of trust and appreciation for giving me a reason to fly again.

Non-Combat After Action Report

Date: 05.23.34, 0558 GAST
Rank & Name: Initate Mori, Yoko
Reporting From: HFL Ichihara
AAR # 002

Hi. A couple Auxesians found a broken-down liner floating through Inverness that got into the Valravn exclusion zone, and we deployed marines from the Ichihara to investigate. At first glance it looked like a Chrysanthemum ship, but the actual symbol was a red dragon holding a golden chrysanthemum. It was falling apart, and most of the crew was dead. We talked to the survivors, and it seemed like they were under attack, so we boarded for search and rescue. We got the people in the cargo hold out easy, but the rest was, um, more complicated.

ESCALATED CLEARANCE

I get the feeling this VIP and her people will be really important assets to us in the future. Very nice, too. The Auxesians really put her off, so hopefully we can talk soon.

[23.05.2024 01:46:00] A/)-Yoruha-: Don't be. It seems like the Liberty Navy was put into a succinct rout.

[23.05.2024 01:46:33] A/)-Yoruha-: I'm surprised that one man, Firebrand, even managed to get through the jump hole we opened to send in reinforcements.

[23.05.2024 01:46:39] A/)-Etna: It was likely stimulating for those involved.

[23.05.2024 01:47:11] A/)-Yoruha-: The datalink information was limited since we stayed in Inverness, but it definitely was a sight, I'm certain.

[23.05.2024 01:47:18] A/)-Etna: Commencing sector sweep and patrol.

[23.05.2024 01:47:20] TFP)-Melozone: I mean... yeah.

[23.05.2024 01:47:25] A/)-Etna: Switching to--

[23.05.2024 01:47:25] A/)-Yoruha-: Sorry!

[23.05.2024 01:47:26] TFP)-Melozone: Oh, okay.

[23.05.2024 01:47:28] A/)-Etna: Contact.

[23.05.2024 01:47:36] A/)-Yoruha-: Nails, Kiyohime, 13k.

[23.05.2024 01:47:42] TFP)-Melozone: Need backup?

[23.05.2024 01:47:52] A/)-Yoruha-: This is Auxesia Yoruha to unidentified vessel, declare IFF and callsign.

[23.05.2024 01:48:01] A/)-Etna: Melozone, accompany.

[23.05.2024 01:48:04] TFP)-Melozone: Got it.

[23.05.2024 01:48:06] A/)-Yoruha-: Liner-type.

[23.05.2024 01:48:21] A/)-Yoruha-: Oasis-class Liner, cargo manifest empty.

[23.05.2024 01:48:31] TFP)-Melozone: Oooh, like Ichihara.

[23.05.2024 01:48:46] TFP)-Melozone: Civilian gunss, Wasp disruptor.

[23.05.2024 01:49:05] TFP)-Melozone: Low-range CM, bad thruster. You should probably get that looked at.

[23.05.2024 01:49:12] Kiyohime: [There was only static coming from the vessel. The hull seemed damaged. Red light on the bridge. Silence.]

[23.05.2024 01:49:22] A/)-Etna: Attention, civilian liner Kiyohime. This is Sentinel Dolores Pyke of the Technocracy of Auxo.

[23.05.2024 01:49:40] A/)-Etna: I'm detecting malfunctions and damage within your hull. Respond if able.

[23.05.2024 01:49:41] A/)-Yoruha-: Vessel seems to be in distress according to EOTS imagery.

[23.05.2024 01:50:00] TFP)-Melozone: Should I get the Ichihara for boarding and offloading?

[23.05.2024 01:50:01] A/)-Yoruha-: Superstructure shows signs of moderate damage.

[23.05.2024 01:50:26] A/)-Yoruha-: May be needed, yes, but sadly I am not an authority on the decision.

[23.05.2024 01:50:30] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna>?

[23.05.2024 01:50:34] A/)-Etna: Preliminary investigations are in order.

[23.05.2024 01:51:19] TFP)-Melozone: EVA? I don't have a good scanner on this interceptor.

[23.05.2024 01:51:45] A/)-Etna: [The fighter scans for lifesigns, power signatures, damage... anything.]

[23.05.2024 01:51:57] Kiyohime: [Static] "Th-... Ch-...--s ---- he-... inter-... dam-.....g" [The voice of a woman breaking through the static. Then, silence.]

[23.05.2024 01:52:24] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna, Yoruha. Permission to attempt EVA inspection of the bridge area? Alternatively, run an EOTS scan of the bridge?

[23.05.2024 01:52:36] TFP)-Melozone: Chr-... hm.

[23.05.2024 01:52:59] Kiyohime: [Several life signs onboard. Cargo hold. One located in a room near the bridge. With closer inspected, there was a flower-

[23.05.2024 01:53:03] A/)-Etna: Run scans. Contact Valravn to deploy an SAR team.

[23.05.2024 01:53:04] Kiyohime: painted onto the hull of the Liner.]

[23.05.2024 01:53:23] A/)-Yoruha-: Understood, commencing EOTS scan, going to thermal.

[23.05.2024 01:53:25] A/)-Etna: That boarding team you mentioned, Melozone, might be handy.

[23.05.2024 01:53:27] [OOC] TFP)-Melozone: GC flower?

[23.05.2024 01:53:52] A/)-Yoruha-: [The ship's nose targeting camera veers left towards the bridge of the Kiyohime.]

[23.05.2024 01:54:00] [OOC] Kiyohime: Yes, its a GC blossom. the rest is shot off. Its a red dragon holding a golden flower in its claws. 

[23.05.2024 01:54:20] TFP)-Melozone: Affirmative. Looks like a Chysanthemum ship. Those are /our/ sisters anyways. Dunno what she's doing here but we're gonna find-

[23.05.2024 01:54:23] TFP)-Melozone: out.

[23.05.2024 01:54:36] A/)-Etna: Fascinating.

[23.05.2024 01:54:40] TFP)-Melozone: Ichihara, prepare for launch. We've got sisters of Matsuda in trouble here.

[23.05.2024 01:54:48] A/)-Yoruha-: A chrysanthemum ship.. all the way in the Libero-bretonian borderworlds..?

[23.05.2024 01:55:04] 2024-05-23 01:55:06 SMT  Traffic control alert: TFP)-Melozone has docked

[23.05.2024 01:55:27] Kiyohime: [The bridge was dark except for the red light. It seemed abandoned.]

[23.05.2024 01:55:33] A/)-Etna: The Chrysanthemums are considered undesireables in the eyes of the Technocracy, but this situation calls for SAR efforts.

[23.05.2024 01:55:42] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Ichihara on our way.

[23.05.2024 01:56:01] A/)-Etna: Several signatures in the cargo bay. Worrying.

[23.05.2024 01:56:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Boarding team ready.

[23.05.2024 01:56:04] A/)-Yoruha-: Bridge itself is.. abandoned.

[23.05.2024 01:56:27] A/)-Yoruha-: They rely on Cardamine, yes? Much like the Outcasts?

[23.05.2024 01:56:29] Kiyohime: [Static again, then a more clear voice.] "Th--.. is Yok-.... Hid-...-. Susta-..---- [static] a-...ge.

[23.05.2024 01:56:51] A/)-Etna: Docking points clear, Ichihara.

[23.05.2024 01:56:57] A/)-Etna: I see no obstructions.

[23.05.2024 01:57:00] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: They are freedom fighters in Kusari, fighting a system than enslaves women to serve as men's playthings.

[23.05.2024 01:57:06] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: err, Y:

[23.05.2024 01:57:09] A/)-Yoruha-: At least, that was to my knowledge during.. Kiyohime, this is Auxesia Yoruha, please lower shields for search and rescue teams.

[23.05.2024 01:57:25] A/)-Etna: We will understand their intent soon enough.

[23.05.2024 01:57:41] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Kaoru, you have the  bridge.

[23.05.2024 01:57:47] A/)-Yoruha-: We mean no harm. Lower shields and prepare for boarding and medical parties.

[23.05.2024 01:58:03] Kiyohime: [The shields flickering for a moment until they disappear. Sadly, a higher force has taken away the ability for it.]

[23.05.2024 01:58:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Mooring underway.

[23.05.2024 01:58:24] ERR Your ship is too large for mobile docking!

[23.05.2024 01:58:29] A/)-Etna: There is a distinct possibility we have encountered a slave ship.

[23.05.2024 01:58:46] A/)-Yoruha-: I am familiar with the Chrysanthemums.

[23.05.2024 01:58:53] A/)-Yoruha-: Well, to a degree.

[23.05.2024 01:59:02] A/)-Etna: Prepare for any eventuality.

[23.05.2024 01:59:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: We... /they/... are not slavers. On the contrary.

[23.05.2024 01:59:33] A/)-Etna: We have intercepted their slaver convoys before in this space.

[23.05.2024 01:59:39] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: From?

[23.05.2024 01:59:44] A/)-Yoruha-: I never said they were.

[23.05.2024 01:59:45] Kiyohime: [The airlock protection on the starboard side of the ship opening slowly, getting stuck for a moment, then opening again.]

[23.05.2024 01:59:49] A/)-Yoruha-: Weapon.

[23.05.2024 02:00:06] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Outcasts were.

[23.05.2024 02:00:44] Kiyohime: "Does that work now? This is the Kiyohime calling the Auxesian vessels in the vercinity."

[23.05.2024 02:00:59] A/)-Etna: We hear you, Kiyohime. Report status.

[23.05.2024 02:00:59] A/)-Yoruha-: Yes... Ichihara, if you could forgive my error - I have only been awake for the past month. The past 10 years are alien to..

[23.05.2024 02:01:03] A/)-Yoruha-: me, especially in my former house.

[23.05.2024 02:01:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Boarding party ready.

[23.05.2024 02:02:08] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha moving to standby.

[23.05.2024 02:02:34] Kiyohime: [Static] "This is Yukiko Hideyoshi. We have pressure loss on several decks. Life support is damaged and we are losing fuel."

[23.05.2024 02:03:33] A/)-Yoruha-: This is Auxesia Yoruha. Understood, the Ichihara is moving boarding parties for recovery.

[23.05.2024 02:03:43] A/)-Etna: Acknowledged, Kiyohime-actual. We are boarding your vessel now. You will be detained and your vessel towed into drydock.

[23.05.2024 02:03:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: (A small docking line crosses from the Ichihara to the Kiyohime's boarding port, followed shortly by a slowly-extending

[23.05.2024 02:04:16] A/)-Etna: Contact.

[23.05.2024 02:04:21] A/)-Etna: Moving to intercept.

[23.05.2024 02:04:32] Kiyohime: "Most of the bulkheads are sealed shut. I am kind of trapped up here. The others are in the cargo hold."

[23.05.2024 02:04:34] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha, copy. Moving to assist.

[23.05.2024 02:04:35] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: (bridge. About half a dozen people in old GC armor cross.)

[23.05.2024 02:04:40] A/)-Yoruha-: Nails, Paracelsus, 11K.

[23.05.2024 02:04:50] Paracelsus: I: Ah there we go.

[23.05.2024 02:04:51] A/)-Yoruha-: Another Oasis-class..

[23.05.2024 02:05:05] A/)-Yoruha-: Paracelsus, Auxesia Yoruha, declare.

[23.05.2024 02:05:06] Paracelsus: I: Power down the engines!

[23.05.2024 02:05:41] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay, starting... yep, bulkheads here. Okay, this section is... pressurized, opening the bulkhead to the next.

[23.05.2024 02:05:52] Kiyohime: [The bridge connecting with the liner, pressure was not able to be established. The outer airlocks opening while the inner-

[23.05.2024 02:05:55] Kiyohime: -stay sealed.]

[23.05.2024 02:06:04] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: oh mb ignore that then.

[23.05.2024 02:06:04] Paracelsus: I: This is the independent deep space research vessel Paracelsus, captain Iwakura Reiko speaking

[23.05.2024 02:06:31] Paracelsus: I: We are on a, say, diplomatic mission. Permission to approach?

[23.05.2024 02:06:37] A/)-Etna: Acknowledged, Paracelsus. Stand by.

[23.05.2024 02:06:46] A/)-Etna: We are conducting SAR operations in the area.

[23.05.2024 02:07:02] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay, breaching. Uhh... can't open this bulkhead without killing whoever might be behind it. You said you're near the 

[23.05.2024 02:07:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: bridge?

[23.05.2024 02:07:57] Paracelsus: I: Oh dear. We have crew on standby that can assist if necessary as well

[23.05.2024 02:07:57] Kiyohime: "Attention. There might still be hostile elements on the ship. I repeat, it is possible that there are hostile elements on-

[23.05.2024 02:08:17] A/)-Etna: Elaborate on hostile elements.

[23.05.2024 02:08:18] Kiyohime: -the ship. We have lost our internal sensors during an attack with the Naval Forces."

[23.05.2024 02:08:28] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oh dear. That would've been good to know earlier. Identify hostiles? Kusari Navy?

[23.05.2024 02:08:57] A/)-Etna: Variables unfavorable. SAR operation at risk. [Her tone is robotic.]

[23.05.2024 02:10:06] A/)-Yoruha-: [She appears concerned for the crew of the Kiyohime.]

[23.05.2024 02:10:08] A/)-Etna: Rerouting to Valravn.

[23.05.2024 02:10:16] Kiyohime: "Hai. Highly possible. But still be cautious. I can try to reach the sensor room to get them back online, if that helps."

[23.05.2024 02:10:19] A/)-Etna: Preparing heavier response.

[23.05.2024 02:10:26] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Then we'll need to clear them out before we can tow it back. Do you have any way of telling how much oxygen you have left 

[23.05.2024 02:10:43] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: in that space? And in the cargo hold?

[23.05.2024 02:11:30] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Ideal option would be to tow it to Invergordon and separate the combatants there in a pressurized environment - if it will-

[23.05.2024 02:11:32] Kiyohime: "According to what I can read from here... thirty minutes in the hold. I am fine up here. I have a suit and two-

[23.05.2024 02:11:32] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: survive that far.

[23.05.2024 02:11:36] Kiyohime: -oxygen packs."

[23.05.2024 02:12:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Got it. Mmkay. Hold time first then. Does the hold's pressure containment hold? Is it safe to open it?

[23.05.2024 02:13:59] Kiyohime: "If I said I would know, I would lie. But safe them first. They are my sisters. My... consort. They are with me since-

[23.05.2024 02:14:29] Kiyohime: -my times my family decided to exile me."

[23.05.2024 02:15:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yeah, I get it. My crew is my family too - my sisters. Look, most of us are Sisters of Matsuda, or were once. We're gonna 

[23.05.2024 02:15:10] A/)-Etna: Confirm status and affiliation of cargo bay personnel.

[23.05.2024 02:15:29] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: get you out of there, yeah? Ichihara, we're RTB for the freighter.

[23.05.2024 02:15:41] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: They're Chrysanthemums. That's what sisters means, in this context.

[23.05.2024 02:16:10] A/)-Etna: Copy. A GC liner without slaves in the independent worlds is abnormal.

[23.05.2024 02:16:19] Kiyohime: "Very well. Even though I never was a true sister of Matsuda. Not like my mother Lilly. Do I know you by any chance?"

[23.05.2024 02:17:01] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Lilly? There's lots of people named Lilly.

[23.05.2024 02:17:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The bridge withdraws, and a few minutes later a small rhino slips out of the lower bay of the liner, transferring over to 

[23.05.2024 02:17:45] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [align with the Kiyohime's bay.]

[23.05.2024 02:18:34] Kiyohime: "Lilly Hideyoshi... the old Blood Dragon Shogunate."

[23.05.2024 02:18:46] A/)-Etna: Another pretender for the records.

[23.05.2024 02:19:05] A/)-Etna: We will investigate if there is a connection with the infectee under a similar surname.

[23.05.2024 02:19:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Dragons. I... was friendly with them, once. I hope they're still okay.

[23.05.2024 02:19:08] Kiyohime: [The liner stood completely still. Well, as still as a ship could in space while damaged. The bay way closed, sealed shut.]

[23.05.2024 02:19:39] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Prepare to breach.

[23.05.2024 02:20:40] Kiyohime: "I have no contact with them. But I am sure they will hear and know."

[23.05.2024 02:20:49] A/)-Yoruha-: The name rings a bell.

[23.05.2024 02:20:56] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [A small sword-like ram slips out of the bottom of the rhino, not unlike that under an Inquisitor. The Rhino's engines roar,

[23.05.2024 02:21:49] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [small group of marines rush across into the bay.]

[23.05.2024 02:22:04] A/)-Etna:  ...fascinating.

[23.05.2024 02:22:23] A/)-Yoruha-: [She looks on in horror at the barbaric boarding action.]

[23.05.2024 02:22:50] Kiyohime: [The bulkhead gives in. It opens against it's will. Angry creaking that is not hearable in space because sound does not travel-

[23.05.2024 02:23:01] Paracelsus: I: ...Is this part of your typical RAR procedures.

[23.05.2024 02:23:14] [OOC] Paracelsus: SAR

[23.05.2024 02:23:26] Kiyohime: there. Yet, it was very much angry that it opened. The door sealed. Inside, cargo over cargo and in the right corner, a gath-

[23.05.2024 02:23:28] A/)-Etna: It is their method. Not ours.

[23.05.2024 02:24:03] Kiyohime: -thering of people. Women, in fact. Dressed in black and golden. A symbol on one visible. A dragon holding a blossom in it's-

[23.05.2024 02:24:06] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Legion tactics. Promethean now, I suppose.

[23.05.2024 02:24:14] Kiyohime: -claws. They raise their hands right away.]

[23.05.2024 02:24:25] A/)-Yoruha-: Not in Auxesian doctrine. I have read it in triplicate to my classification. Never before, not in Auxesia, nor Ouroboros, nor..

[23.05.2024 02:25:15] A/)-Yoruha-: the COF have I seen any kind of boarding doctrine that involves ramming into a ship in distress.

[23.05.2024 02:25:24] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Oh, thank goodness. Here, is everyone okay? [She and her unit rushes over to the group.]

[23.05.2024 02:25:29] A/)-Yoruha-: Or ramming a ship in general.

[23.05.2024 02:25:47] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Have you seen an Inquisitor? It is ridiculous.

[23.05.2024 02:26:27] Kiyohime: [One of the women comes closer. She bowed.] "Arigato for rescuing us. Lady Hideyoshi is still trapped. We are fine, just shaken

[23.05.2024 02:27:32] Paracelsus: I: Yes those designs are rather... unusual lets say. Personally I would use a short-ranged shaped plasma emiter rather than -

[23.05.2024 02:27:37] Paracelsus: pure metal but...

[23.05.2024 02:29:02] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Iie, iie. We're working on that. Do you have any injured? Can you walk out?

[23.05.2024 02:29:59] A/)-Etna: Analysis of Hellfire-derived designs shows a preference for large blades on ship exteriors.

[23.05.2024 02:30:57] A/)-Yoruha-: That is good for boarding or.. debilitation actions.. not so much for saving those aboard..

[23.05.2024 02:30:58] Paracelsus: I: At least make it detachable and attach some rockets to it

[23.05.2024 02:31:22] A/)-Etna: I am not a shipwright.

[23.05.2024 02:31:41] Paracelsus: I: Weapons manufacturer.

[23.05.2024 02:31:59] Kiyohime: "We can walk, hai." [The woman nods as she looked to the others.] "We are fine. We can walk."

[23.05.2024 02:32:24] A/)-Etna: This depends on the weapon.

[23.05.2024 02:32:28] Kiyohime: "It is possible that the internal defenses are online and locked. So please.. be cautious."

[23.05.2024 02:32:51] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay. Sounds good. We're leaving the same way we came in, don't worry.

[23.05.2024 02:33:06] A/)-Etna: A concerning amount of information to withhold until boarders are already present.

[23.05.2024 02:33:38] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [As she motions the group towards the new hole in their ship, the other ex-Chrysanthemums raise brand-new Aux-provided rifles-

[23.05.2024 02:33:42] Paracelsus: I: Integrated weapons systems are not the responsibility of the shipwright in any but the most extreme cases.

[23.05.2024 02:33:53] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [with Promethean skulls painted upon the side.]

[23.05.2024 02:34:04] A/)-Etna: I would classify Hellfire designs as extreme cases.

[23.05.2024 02:34:14] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: An understatement.

[23.05.2024 02:34:25] A/)-Etna: I do not understand what would be more accurate than extreme.

[23.05.2024 02:35:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Ridiculous?

[23.05.2024 02:35:42] A/)-Etna: These two words do not exist on a linear scale.

[23.05.2024 02:35:51] Paracelsus: I: The bayonet does not provide structural integrity to the hull and can be safely removed without compromising it, an extreme-

[23.05.2024 02:36:05] Paracelsus: example would be physically inseparable from the ship itself

[23.05.2024 02:36:19] A/)-Etna: The Prosecutor conforms to this, Paracelsus actual.

[23.05.2024 02:36:54] Kiyohime: [The group follows right away, and rather fast. They were shaken, but at least they were safe now.]

[23.05.2024 02:36:57] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  Cherry says she's dealing with network issues.

[23.05.2024 02:37:07] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Good to know.

[23.05.2024 02:37:09] [OOC] Kiyohime: Just had red lag, but it seems to be gone? Idk what that is

[23.05.2024 02:37:14] [OOC] Paracelsus: hecc

[23.05.2024 02:37:45] Paracelsus: I: I disagree but I have yet to have the pleasure of dissecting one myself to make sure

[23.05.2024 02:37:56] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko leads the group across to the Rhino, then begins to pull back. It leaves behind the airlock at the end of the strut - a

[23.05.2024 02:38:46] Paracelsus: I: Maybe one day... If it is a - gods forbid - load-bearing bayonet - the ship could field some interesting redesigns.

[23.05.2024 02:38:59] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [cork plugging the hole. The Rhino returns to the intact liner.]

[23.05.2024 02:39:22] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Hideyoshi, confirm your status again.

[23.05.2024 02:39:48] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Auxesian ships, can you determine if the ship will survive a tow to Invergordon?

[23.05.2024 02:40:09] A/)-Etna: Commencing scan.

[23.05.2024 02:40:22] Kiyohime: [Static for a moment. Then, the sound of fire.] "I am.. a bit busy.. here!"

[23.05.2024 02:40:50] A/)-Etna: Kiyohime-actual, report.

[23.05.2024 02:41:19] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Affirmative. Team, go directly to the bridge. Hideyoshi, do you have a working EVA suit?

[23.05.2024 02:41:38] Kiyohime: "I have several very angry Naval Forces here. They seem to have boarded with a vessel in the hangar during our run from Kusari-

[23.05.2024 02:41:57] A/)-Etna: We will not fire on KNF personnel.

[23.05.2024 02:42:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yeah. Unfortunately.

[23.05.2024 02:42:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: G: What's this?

[23.05.2024 02:42:18] A/)-Yoruha-: [She seems displeased with the statement.]

[23.05.2024 02:42:26] Kiyohime: -And yes, I do have one, but the problem is the angry Naval officers that are trying to shoot me!"

[23.05.2024 02:42:42] A/)-Yoruha-: Those.. They're firing on people in distress!?

[23.05.2024 02:42:47] A/)-Etna: Disabled Chrysanthemum liner wandered into perimeter. TFP is conducting SAR. Potential hostiles.

[23.05.2024 02:42:58] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Can you convince them to stand down? Tell them they're in the custody of a third party and in a neutral zone, and their-

[23.05.2024 02:43:05] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: G: Oh, god.

[23.05.2024 02:43:14] A/)-Etna: Control yourself, Initiate.

[23.05.2024 02:43:30] A/)-Yoruha-:  ...

[23.05.2024 02:43:32] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: actions will be treated accordingly. I'm on my way. Just stay in cover and keep them from reaching where you're at.

[23.05.2024 02:43:45] A/)-Yoruha-: At least order a self-defense measure, ma'am.

[23.05.2024 02:44:12] Death: _unknown_ was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[23.05.2024 02:44:22] A/)-Etna: If we are fired upon, we fire. But Chrysanthemums are undesireables, whereas KNF personnel are not.

[23.05.2024 02:44:28] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The original bridge returns, and this time the team is seen hauling a variety of heavy equipment across.]

[23.05.2024 02:44:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Excuse me?

[23.05.2024 02:44:33] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Well, if I can be of any assistance, I've a fully-functional EVA suit.

[23.05.2024 02:44:42] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Otherwise I will stand back.

[23.05.2024 02:45:00] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yes please! We're about to breach, we could use backup through the other side. Break through at the bridge, we'll surround-

[23.05.2024 02:45:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: them and get them to stand down.

[23.05.2024 02:45:04] A/)-Etna: Technocracy Spatial Regulations, Section Four, Sub-sections Five and Six.

[23.05.2024 02:45:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Need to be armed, then?

[23.05.2024 02:45:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Yes, but don't go in firing. Goal's to keep everyone alive.

[23.05.2024 02:45:35] A/)-Etna: They are already in violation of the perimeter. Standard procedure would have been immediate removal.

[23.05.2024 02:45:42] A/)-Etna: We are already granting leniency.

[23.05.2024 02:45:56] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Understood. I'll get suited up. [The Sentinel immediately rushes out of her chair, headed into what seems to be

[23.05.2024 02:46:04] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: a closet within the freighter's pressurized area.]

[23.05.2024 02:46:10] Kiyohime: "I am not sure they are listening. And I highly ssume they are not Naval Forces, but might be KOI. Their weapons are -not- -

[23.05.2024 02:46:18] A/)-Yoruha-: I second the Ichihara's notion. The Chrysanthemums are still human and are in distress - Evacuate them from the vessel -

[23.05.2024 02:46:21] Kiyohime: -standard issued. It's getting a bit.. hairy here."

[23.05.2024 02:46:31] A/)-Yoruha-: tend to their wounded and then eject them to Freeport 14!

[23.05.2024 02:46:50] A/)-Etna: Restraint. We will do what is allowed.

[23.05.2024 02:46:58] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: ... It is only for the sake of those this ship is now flagged with that I control my tongue now, Auxesian.

[23.05.2024 02:47:20] A/)-Etna: Your offense is acknowledged. But I did not write our bylaws.

[23.05.2024 02:47:40] A/)-Yoruha-: My former associates and the Chrysanthemums may not have been friendly.. but I would still treat them with that kindness.

[23.05.2024 02:47:51] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [After a surprisingly short amount of time, she returns in an armored purple-and-white hardsuit with some kind of PDW and a

[23.05.2024 02:48:02] A/)-Etna: Chrysanthemums were placed there due to frequent attacks against Technocracy personnel on behalf of the Outcasts--

[23.05.2024 02:48:02] A/)-Yoruha-: So suffice to say, I share your frustration with our mutual benefactors.

[23.05.2024 02:48:04] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: handgun at her side, along with a bag full of -- presumably -- engineering tools.]

[23.05.2024 02:48:14] 2024-05-23 02:48:16 SMT : Kiyohime is attempting to disconnect from the server

[23.05.2024 02:48:17] A/)-Etna: --and after numerous interceptions of cardamine and slaver convoys.

[23.05.2024 02:48:56] A/)-Yoruha-: Undesireables or no.. they are in distress and need our help.

[23.05.2024 02:48:59] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: I recommend you also exercise restraint, /Auxesian/.

[23.05.2024 02:49:36] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Thank you. I appreciate the support.

[23.05.2024 02:49:45] A/)-Etna: I do not understand. This is the record recounted. I am not offering personal opinions.

[23.05.2024 02:49:45] Paracelsus: I: Going in with just a pistol hm? Well if you want some extra ordnance, we do so happen to have a wide variety of light arms -

[23.05.2024 02:49:47] Paracelsus: here!

[23.05.2024 02:50:22] A/)-Yoruha-: I am certain we are more than well equipped for the situation. Your assistance offer is appreciated, regardless.

[23.05.2024 02:50:43] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Your lack of discretion is noted.

[23.05.2024 02:51:01] Kiyohime: [There was an explosion to be seen and heard from near the bridge. The hull ws not breached."

[23.05.2024 02:51:03] Kiyohime: ]*

[23.05.2024 02:51:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay, we can't wait any longer. Kolokytha, we're breaching. We'll distract, you come in from the bridge side and rescue her.

[23.05.2024 02:51:14] A/)-Etna: [Monotone.] Hm. Acknowledged.

[23.05.2024 02:51:44] Death: Sarison was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[23.05.2024 02:51:48] A/)-Etna: Still. Our orders stand. We will not engage unless fired upon, but we will assist in SAR.

[23.05.2024 02:52:01] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Understood. Will breach from stern side. [As she speaks, she opens a hatch on the floor and drops down through,

[23.05.2024 02:52:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: closing it behind her.]

[23.05.2024 02:52:33] Death: _unknown_ was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[23.05.2024 02:53:09] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [A few seconds later, the Kiyohime is rocked by another explosion as the Promethean team breaches the bulkhead. The-

[23.05.2024 02:53:36] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [A moment later, the Technocrat appears below her ship in space, jetting towards the fore of the bridge at a speed perhaps

[23.05.2024 02:53:42] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: just-slightly-faster than safe.]

[23.05.2024 02:53:44] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [air immediately begins to rush from the pressurized segment as half a dozen marines break through the smoke. The foremost -

[23.05.2024 02:53:46] Kiyohime: [Static] "Freeport Seven." [It was all that came through before the connection went into static again.]

[23.05.2024 02:54:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She pushes her limbs out in front of her, landing on all fours on the thick reinforced glass at the front of the bridge.]

[23.05.2024 02:54:39] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [woman sends a broad-spectrum signal across all nearby communication devices.]

[23.05.2024 02:54:58] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [mumbling over comms] "Mag-trac enabled... no lock." [a sharp inhale] "This'll be rough."

[23.05.2024 02:56:07] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Yasou: "All combatants stand down! You are in a neutral zone! Please don protective equipment immediately and prepare to be-

[23.05.2024 02:56:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Yasou: rescued!"

[23.05.2024 02:56:17] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She fumbles with her black toolbag, looking for a saw, before recoiling. Some small tool drifts off into space.]

[23.05.2024 02:57:14] Kiyohime: [Static was the answer together with the sound of very destinct lasers. Almost like.. a distorted 'meow' of a cat.]

[23.05.2024 02:57:56] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Ok, didn't need that one... ah, got it." [The Technocrat pulls out a handheld glass saw and presses it up against the window 

[23.05.2024 02:58:10] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The marines push further, spreading out room by room to clear the way and find the source of the combat.]

[23.05.2024 02:58:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: of the bridge. She flicks it on and starts cutting her way through the window.]

[23.05.2024 02:58:48] Kiyohime: [However, for the boarding party the road ahead was clear. The rooms, all empty. Some are blocked. The liner was decorated in-

[23.05.2024 02:59:22] Kiyohime: -black and golden. Mostly golden dragons with golden flowers. It was rather luxurious except for the damage. Closing in-

[23.05.2024 02:59:49] Kiyohime: -on the bridge. The sound of the lasers has grown louder. But also something was off. Pressure on their minds. Screams that -

[23.05.2024 03:00:08] Kiyohime: -come from nowhere and at the same time, everywhere. The cutting however went well. The glass giving in as a hole was cut.]

[23.05.2024 03:00:25] Death: Sarison was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[23.05.2024 03:00:48] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Fuck. Technocrats, clear the area, we have Wilde aboard. If you know what that means.

[23.05.2024 03:01:02] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I know it well."

[23.05.2024 03:01:03] A/)-Yoruha-: Wilde?!

[23.05.2024 03:01:17] A/)-Etna: Contamination confirmed. Commence containment and decontamination procedures.

[23.05.2024 03:01:27] A/)-Yoruha-: Paracelsus, I will divert you to Invergordon.

[23.05.2024 03:01:43] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As the hole grows sufficiently large for her to crawl through, Gestalt punches the glass inward, her armored EVA suit

[23.05.2024 03:01:57] A/)-Etna: Jau. You know what to do.

[23.05.2024 03:02:13] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: 's muscle reinforcements shattering the oblong slice into pieces as air starts rushing out.]

[23.05.2024 03:02:29] Kiyohime: [The voice of the onboard computer echoes through the corridors.] "Warning. Intruder alert. Internal defense system: Online."

[23.05.2024 03:02:40] A/)-Yoruha-: The area is now under a Wilde contamination risk. Protocol advises all non-essential personnel and uninvolved parties divert.

[23.05.2024 03:02:42] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: If you harm my partner, no flag will save you.

[23.05.2024 03:02:55] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She quickly grabs ahold of the glass, and once the bridge is sufficiently depressurized, she crawls in.]

[23.05.2024 03:03:04] Paracelsus: I: Ah, well I wasn't expecting this. Alright crew, remember your training! Start the mantras, maintain focus. We are diverting-

[23.05.2024 03:03:08] Paracelsus: course to Invergordon.

[23.05.2024 03:03:16] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I will only fire in self-defense, in defense of civilians, or in defense of allied parties."

[23.05.2024 03:03:36] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna, advise you provide tasking once I have returned to the AO.

[23.05.2024 03:03:42] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Geeze, you'd think that would've activated for the... /ugh/.

[23.05.2024 03:03:58] A/)-Etna: You have live biomon data for the boarding team. We would know if they were compromised.

[23.05.2024 03:04:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The marines continue to press towards the bridge until they find the next bulkhead.]

[23.05.2024 03:04:19] A/)-Etna: Copy.

[23.05.2024 03:04:22] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Who's in command of this op?" [As she speaks, she scans the bridge, looking for an airlock so as to avoid depressurizing

[23.05.2024 03:04:24] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: the rest of the ship.]

[23.05.2024 03:04:56] A/)-Etna: Is the boarding team certified for psionic defense?

[23.05.2024 03:05:04] Kiyohime: [The bridge was empty. There was a single body there of a woman dressed in black and gold. She was stuck on some cables.-

[23.05.2024 03:05:16] A/)-Yoruha-: Auxesia Yoruha, tasking completed, returning to the AO. Etna, Yoruha, request tasking.

[23.05.2024 03:05:26] Kiyohime: -the Self Defense turrets got stuck however. They were about to extend but luckily, the Liner was a flying piece of scrap.-

[23.05.2024 03:05:36] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: Negative. Yoko has some training, but none of our other women have any experience dealing with psionics.

[23.05.2024 03:05:41] A/)-Etna: In the event of enthrallment, Jau, attempt nonlethal incapacitation.

[23.05.2024 03:05:49] Kiyohime: -The large bulkhead to the rest of the ship was completely closed shut. - Meanwhile for the boarding party. They reached the-

[23.05.2024 03:06:02] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Shit, shit, civilian! Bridge depressurized, need to find an airlock!" [She ran forward, scooping up the woman with one arm and

[23.05.2024 03:06:04] A/)-Etna: Yoruha, establish perimeter. Ensure no one gets off the liner without authorization.

[23.05.2024 03:06:07] Kiyohime: -next bulkhead. And could probably hear the turrets extending and starting to fire. But at what?]

[23.05.2024 03:06:11] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: lurching for the nearest door -- pressure-rated or otherwise.]

[23.05.2024 03:06:32] A/)-Yoruha-: Understood, master arm is on.

[23.05.2024 03:06:57] Kiyohime: [The woman was very dead. Long before the breach happened.]

[23.05.2024 03:07:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The marines immediately set about placing more breaching charges, then go around the previous corner. Another explosion rocks-

[23.05.2024 03:07:34] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [the ship, and again the marines rush through the smoke as the new section begins to depressurize through the now-gaping wound-

[23.05.2024 03:07:44] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As the realization sets in, her expression darkens, though none could see it. She paused for a moment, before dropping the

[23.05.2024 03:08:19] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Nevermind. Flatlined. Boarders, what deck are you on?"

[23.05.2024 03:08:19] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [in the next bulkhead. As the smoke is pulled out into the vacuum behind them, it reveals once more the former Chrysanthemums-

[23.05.2024 03:08:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [pushing forward to clear.]

[23.05.2024 03:08:50] A/)-Yoruha-: In position, radar is set to boresight on microcraft and biotic targets.

[23.05.2024 03:09:26] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Yoko should know the Oasis very well - she lives on one, and if that's a Dragons-built one it's possible it's even based on

[23.05.2024 03:09:51] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: the Ichihara from when it was captured. How many bulkheads are there between the docking point and the bridge?

[23.05.2024 03:10:18] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Repeat. Boarding team, identify location." [In. Hold. Out. Hold. Steadying her breathing, she looks for a pressure-safe exit

[23.05.2024 03:10:20] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: to the rest of the ship.]

[23.05.2024 03:10:32] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: one sec, asking ooc questions.

[23.05.2024 03:10:36] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: all good

[23.05.2024 03:11:07] [OOC] Kiyohime: There are 4 but only 2 were shut. The other 2 are open. Well, half open. Broken

[23.05.2024 03:11:28] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Neat, so that should be the second working bulkhead, yes?

[23.05.2024 03:11:31] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  MISFIRE

[23.05.2024 03:11:54] Kiyohime: [Meanwhile the onboard computer echoes again.] "Warning. Breach detected." - [Alarm echoing on the ship for a moment until-

[23.05.2024 03:12:19] Kiyohime: -suddenly all the bulkheads opened. The ship literally FLUSHED itself with an attempt to get rid of the intruders.]

[23.05.2024 03:12:36] [OOC] Kiyohime: Yep :P

[23.05.2024 03:12:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Breaching second bulkhead, we should be clo- oh, great. Mag locks on folks, let's keep pushing. Last we heard she was in the

[23.05.2024 03:13:10] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: scanner room and had EVA suit on, let's head that way.

[23.05.2024 03:13:44] A/)-Yoruha-: No signatures on radar so far. Containment seems to be holding.

[23.05.2024 03:13:46] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Scanner room, copy. This is, best guess, an L-582 model. That means scanner room is... deck three?"

[23.05.2024 03:13:46] A/)-Etna: [Her voice raises slightly.] Confirm. Atmosphere venting. Maintain target lock on airlocks in the event of attempted escape.

[23.05.2024 03:14:03] A/)-Yoruha-: Understood, going to thermal and marking venting airlocks.

[23.05.2024 03:14:20] A/)-Etna: L-584-B, according to scanners.

[23.05.2024 03:15:03] A/)-Yoruha-: Kolokytha, do you need schemata?

[23.05.2024 03:15:07] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [The Technocrat runs up to the primary bridge exit, searching for a staircase. Can't trust elevators in a situation like this.]

[23.05.2024 03:15:40] A/)-Yoruha-: Understood, accessing the OSINT database now for schemata, wait one.

[23.05.2024 03:16:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Boarding team, no psi-ratings?"

[23.05.2024 03:16:17] A/)-Yoruha-: Jau, Yoruha - schemata acquired, sending over datalink now.

[23.05.2024 03:16:39] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  cherry go weeeeeeee

[23.05.2024 03:17:18] A/)-Etna: Boarding team is not rated for psi ops. It is on you, Gestalt.

[23.05.2024 03:17:21] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Nope. I've got training. Haven't felt another pulse yet though. Dunno what they're doing but if we're /very/ lucky they 

[23.05.2024 03:17:36] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: didn't have EVA on their hosts.

[23.05.2024 03:17:45] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Um. Suits, I mean.

[23.05.2024 03:17:55] A/)-Yoruha-: Nails on outbound pod - firing!

[23.05.2024 03:18:11] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Best thing you can do to drown out the screaming is to keep a tune in your head. I like Sweet Nightingale."

[23.05.2024 03:18:31] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Other than that, it's square breathing and hopefully you meditate a lot."

[23.05.2024 03:18:39] A/)-Yoruha-: [An escape pod that had been seen ejecting from the ship is hit by vollies of Polybolos fires. It shortly thereafter..

[23.05.2024 03:18:43] A/)-Yoruha-: disintegrates.]

[23.05.2024 03:19:15] A/)-Yoruha-: Pod destroyed. Any station, this is Yoruha, do not evacuate from the vessel manually. Unknown escape parties will be destroyed.

[23.05.2024 03:19:48] A/)-Yoruha-: The Kiyohime is under nomad infectee containment protocols. Adhere to Technocracy directives and comply with demands.

[23.05.2024 03:20:31] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [With her instructions delivered, Gestalt begins plodding through the top deck, waving down the hall towards the boarding

[23.05.2024 03:20:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: team.]

[23.05.2024 03:20:58] Kiyohime: [Alarm again. This time deafening.]

[23.05.2024 03:21:00] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Meditation, yeah. [She leadss her marines through the two half-open bulkheads and to the stairs, giving Gestalt a wave as 

[23.05.2024 03:21:09] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [they come into contact.]

[23.05.2024 03:21:25] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Think we're looking at a bow-side Deck-2 scanner room."

[23.05.2024 03:21:34] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Who wants to go down first?"

[23.05.2024 03:21:55] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Ah, fuck, ow. Noise dampening on. Let's get down these stairs quick. Two floors. You take the lead, you have the training.

[23.05.2024 03:22:04] Kiyohime: [Right after. Silence again. And then, full power loss. The entire ship goes fully dark. Pitch black except the sparking.]

[23.05.2024 03:22:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Copy. Ah, jeez."

[23.05.2024 03:22:23] A/)-Etna: Reading loss of all power aboard the Kiyohime, team.

[23.05.2024 03:22:26] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha, all SAR stations, be advised - EMR readings show main bus and powerplant failure.

[23.05.2024 03:22:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Ugh, no night vision on these things. Flashlights on. I guess.

[23.05.2024 03:22:45] A/)-Yoruha-: The Kiyohime is dead in the water. Boarding parties, declare LSS status.

[23.05.2024 03:22:53] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She drops her toolbag before flicking her wrist. A small headlamp flickers on.]

[23.05.2024 03:23:02] Kiyohime: *{The sound of nails running across a blackboard. Screeching in the darkness. Then, the echoing giggle of a woman.}*

[23.05.2024 03:23:07] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "The entire ship is /vented/."

[23.05.2024 03:23:11] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Zero life support, but ev erything'ss depressurized anyways.

[23.05.2024 03:23:34] A/)-Yoruha-: [Feels embarassed that she forgot the matter. But given the tension, one could forgive her for it.]

[23.05.2024 03:23:58] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Again, she reaches down to grab her toolbag, before running up to the stairwell and charging down to the first corner, 

[23.05.2024 03:24:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Ah... oh no. Gals, stand back. I'm going ahead with the Technocrat. Let's hurry.

[23.05.2024 03:24:08] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: then stopping abruptly and craning her head around to scan for hostiles.]

[23.05.2024 03:24:13] A/)-Etna: [Another wince. The woman's voice is distorted, as though the psychic pulse has scrambled -something-.] Target at la-a-arge-ge.

[23.05.2024 03:24:52] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna, declare state?

[23.05.2024 03:24:56] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She draws her sidearm with her right hand -- it's hard to see in the dark, but it looks like some kind of revolver.]

[23.05.2024 03:25:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko follows, her breathing becoming slow and steady through the mic.] {A barrier begins to rise in her mind - not-

[23.05.2024 03:25:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha rolled 4 with the formula 1d20

[23.05.2024 03:25:14] (4)

[23.05.2024 03:25:17] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: {impenetrable, but /slowing/, less a fortress than a pillow fort of defense.}

[23.05.2024 03:25:41] A/)-Etna: Operable. Boarding teams, mark the location of the target once you find it and I can strafe at close range.

[23.05.2024 03:25:41] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Good. Keep that up."

[23.05.2024 03:26:16] A/)-Yoruha-:  ... It might be wise to prepare the counter-psionic firewall.

[23.05.2024 03:26:49] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Her breathing slows, and she closes her eyes for but a brief second. Reaching out mentally, searching for a spark of life.]

[23.05.2024 03:26:52] A/)-Etna: Countermeasures in place.

[23.05.2024 03:27:01] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [No good. The boarding team on the last deck is too distracting.]

[23.05.2024 03:27:07] A/)-Yoruha-: [Much like Yoko, Mieko follows suit. Her firmware hardens the connection with her shell's brain and neural connections..

[23.05.2024 03:27:28] Kiyohime: *{"Na-na-na-nana. Na-na-na-na naaaaaa-naaaaa." It echoed, through their minds. It extended to the outside of the ship.}*

[23.05.2024 03:27:28] A/)-Yoruha-: mitigating psionic attacks.]

[23.05.2024 03:27:47] A/)-Yoruha-: What is this.. music..?

[23.05.2024 03:28:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Contact." [She beckons with her sidearm for Yoko to take up a position at the other edge of the door.]

[23.05.2024 03:28:21] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I'll take left, you take right."

[23.05.2024 03:29:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Got it." [She immediately takes a flanking position, rifle at the ready. She does not speak another word; her-

[23.05.2024 03:29:36] A/)-Etna: Psionic interference. In position for amputation of biotics.

[23.05.2024 03:29:50] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [rudementary defenses are clearly taking a good bit of her concentration.]

[23.05.2024 03:30:50] Kiyohime: [The power was indeed offline.]

[23.05.2024 03:31:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Gestalt relaxes her grip on her toolbag, letting it float serenely in space.]

[23.05.2024 03:31:13] A/)-Etna: [The Hammerhead floats right near the bridge area, guns trained on the hull.]

[23.05.2024 03:31:41] A/)-Yoruha-: [Mieko stares at the ship intently, wishing she could do something other than watch the EOTS and sweeping of the weapons radar]

[23.05.2024 03:32:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Three. Two. One." [She grips her revolver with both hands, and on conclusion of count, steps out from behind the doorframe, 

[23.05.2024 03:32:23] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: quickly scanning the left side of the hallway.]

[23.05.2024 03:33:20] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko steps out in sync, rifle sweeping the right side, wide-beam flashlight piercing through the gloom.]

[23.05.2024 03:33:47] Kiyohime: [Surprise. There was one. Clad in KOI uniform. His eyes shimmering as he fired off his laser shotgun from Gestalts direction.]

[23.05.2024 03:34:53] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As soon as she saw the target, she flicked her wrist to disable her magloc and jumped up. A laser shot rockets from the 

[23.05.2024 03:35:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: revolver towards the "KOI officer".]

[23.05.2024 03:36:03] Kiyohime: [He was indeed left.]

[23.05.2024 03:36:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [If there were air for sound to travel in, there would be a 'thunk' as she hit the roof of the deck.]

[23.05.2024 03:37:42] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko flinches at the burst of fire, but glances over only briefly, being sure to clear her side of the room fully before-

[23.05.2024 03:37:52] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [turning her rifle towards the infectee.]

[23.05.2024 03:39:00] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Another shot. Then four more. Six in total, towards the hostile infectee.]

[23.05.2024 03:39:01] A/)-Yoruha-: [The silence unnerves Mieko to the point she speaks up.] Jau, Yoruha - declare status - request video feed over datalink if..

[23.05.2024 03:39:02] A/)-Yoruha-: able.

[23.05.2024 03:39:09] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "COMBAT!"

[23.05.2024 03:39:19] A/)-Etna: Clear comms.

[23.05.2024 03:39:27] Kiyohime: [The corridor was wide open. All the bulkheads were open. At least from what they can see. The infectee was hit several times.-

[23.05.2024 03:39:52] A/)-Yoruha-: [She adheres to Pyke's order.]

[23.05.2024 03:40:06] Kiyohime: -Lucky for them, he was dead right after. Some good hits as he was surprised by the skillfull maneuver. His body floating off.]

[23.05.2024 03:40:20] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  *Dolos

[23.05.2024 03:41:09] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Pushing off the roof, she reenables her boots' magloc and clunks silently to the floor before firing a final, seventh shot 

[23.05.2024 03:41:17] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: into the presumably-corpse's head.]

[23.05.2024 03:41:36] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Oh. Good job. Um. Need help getting back down... nope, okay. Hi. Um, watch for the creepy thing crawling out."

[23.05.2024 03:41:55] Kiyohime: [The poor infectee was pretty much dead. He was sadly not an Agent of the Matrix and could not dodge the lasers within.]

[23.05.2024 03:42:11] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Right after, she knocks the body of the gun against her open left palm. Seven smoking battery casings, looking very much

[23.05.2024 03:42:27] Kiyohime: [Surprise. Suddenly the red-light came back online.]

[23.05.2024 03:42:33] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: like shotgun shells, float gently out of the chamber.]

[23.05.2024 03:43:22] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Status update: One Wilde, dead. Lights are back on.

[23.05.2024 03:43:37] Kiyohime: [The lights started blinking. Was that.. morse code..?]

[23.05.2024 03:44:13] A/)-Etna: [Her eyes open wide as the feed shows the flickering.]

[23.05.2024 03:44:16] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "E-lights flickering. Rhythmically."

[23.05.2024 03:44:30] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha here. Potential morse code, stand by while I decipher.

[23.05.2024 03:44:59] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She quickly pulls more battery/heat-sinks from her belt, loading them into the cylinder.]

[23.05.2024 03:45:06] A/)-Yoruha-: [She intensively watches the lights from the bridge, storing the individual on and off states into memory for decoding.

[23.05.2024 03:45:49] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Team lead, status?"

[23.05.2024 03:46:11] Kiyohime:  / ... / .- / ..-. / . /

[23.05.2024 03:46:49] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I'm good. That was the only one in the room, unless they've figured out how to cloak themselves since I've been gone. We

[23.05.2024 03:47:08] Kiyohime:  / ... / -.-. / .- / -. / -. / . / .-. /

[23.05.2024 03:47:14] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha here. Code response is SAFE.

[23.05.2024 03:47:17] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: need to keep moving though, I dunno how much time she has.

[23.05.2024 03:47:19] A/)-Yoruha-: New code, wait one..

[23.05.2024 03:47:45] A/)-Yoruha-: Yoruha, Jau, second code is SCANNER.

[23.05.2024 03:47:51] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Copy."

[23.05.2024 03:47:53] Kiyohime:  / - / .-- / --- /

[23.05.2024 03:48:11] A/)-Etna: [Silently, Dolos initiates an intensive scan, looking for lifesigns and possible hostiles.]

[23.05.2024 03:48:12] A/)-Yoruha-: Third code - TWO.

[23.05.2024 03:48:15] Kiyohime:  / -.. / --- / --- / .-. /

[23.05.2024 03:48:33] A/)-Etna: Door.

[23.05.2024 03:48:43] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Okay. So we were right, we're on the right track. She's alive and in the scanner room. Two enemies, two bulkheads.

[23.05.2024 03:49:08] A/)-Yoruha-: Affirm, fourth code is DOOR.

[23.05.2024 03:49:31] Kiyohime: [The scan reveals three life signs on the ship. Scanner room was one. Two infront of it. They were doing something. One was-

[23.05.2024 03:49:36] Kiyohime: -kneeling before the door.]

[23.05.2024 03:49:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Be careful moving up, yeah? You go forward in case of psionic, I'll cover you with the rifle.

[23.05.2024 03:49:43] A/)-Etna: Boarders. Stand by.

[23.05.2024 03:49:52] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Wait for taccom."

[23.05.2024 03:50:13] A/)-Etna: [The Hammerhead deftly maneuvers into position, soon hovering right on the other side of the hull from the two near the door.]

[23.05.2024 03:50:35] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: I dunno how much time we have. I hope you know what you're doing.

[23.05.2024 03:50:42] A/)-Etna: Etna will open fire on the hallway.

[23.05.2024 03:50:54] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Not the fucking hallway we're in, I hope!"

[23.05.2024 03:51:01] A/)-Etna: Negative. The contacts ahead of you.

[23.05.2024 03:51:15] A/)-Etna: There's enough room to make it work. I have the math.

[23.05.2024 03:51:24] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "VIP will be safe?"

[23.05.2024 03:51:30] A/)-Etna: Confirmed.

[23.05.2024 03:51:32] A/)-Yoruha-: On standby for any stragglers that may survive Etna's initial fires.

[23.05.2024 03:51:38] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Do it."

[23.05.2024 03:52:18] A/)-Etna: [Power masses in the Falx cannons of the Etna. Soon, it unleashes a powerful barrage of particle fire, pinpointed into the--

[23.05.2024 03:52:18] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Cover." [Immediately she slides behind a protrusion from the wall, hiding from the inevitable shrapnel.]

[23.05.2024 03:52:36] A/)-Etna: -- area of the suspected infectees. The fire is uncannily accurate.]

[23.05.2024 03:53:27] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Gestalt doesn't bother taking cover, only taking a few steps backwards in Yoko's direction.]

[23.05.2024 03:54:07] Kiyohime: [The hull penetrated, shrapnell filling the corridor as the infectees were turned into what one could describe as.. wild goo.]

[23.05.2024 03:54:38] A/)-Etna: [Fire ceases, and a voice rings out, just as monotone as before.] Confirm status of biotics.

[23.05.2024 03:55:04] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna, Yoruha.

[23.05.2024 03:55:08] Kiyohime: [An open bulkhead.]

[23.05.2024 03:55:21] A/)-Yoruha-: BDA is as follows, multiple biotics are no factor. Good effect on target.

[23.05.2024 03:56:22] A/)-Etna: Copy. Verdict administered successfully. Reverse thrust.

[23.05.2024 03:56:24] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [A single metal shard whizzes right past Gestalt's left arm, grazing the hardsuit but not piercing it. Somehow, she's alright.]

[23.05.2024 03:56:25] Kiyohime: [The one proud Liner was shot to bits. But it was still floating. There was a Lady onboard who would probably not be happy.]

[23.05.2024 03:56:29] [OOC] Kiyohime: once*

[23.05.2024 03:56:37] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Clear to proceed?"

[23.05.2024 03:57:15] A/)-Etna: Proceed.

[23.05.2024 03:57:21] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Looks clear, but watch out for anything bouncing around. That was, uh. Kind of a lot."

[23.05.2024 03:58:09] Kiyohime: [The onboard computer echoed again.] "Systems restored." [The systems went back online. Full light was restored.]

[23.05.2024 03:58:25] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "...Well, I was going to suggest thermals, but it looks like we can see fine now."

[23.05.2024 03:58:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "What."

[23.05.2024 03:58:35] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Ugh. Wilde nonsense."

[23.05.2024 03:58:37] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Another flick of the wrist and her headlamp turns off."

[23.05.2024 03:58:40] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: ]*

[23.05.2024 03:59:24] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko's own rifle-mounted flashlight flicks off as well, and she leaves cover to begin to hurry forward.]

[23.05.2024 03:59:55] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She walks forward, scanning the room for bouncing shrapnel or debris. It looks like most of the shards have embedded

[23.05.2024 04:00:09] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: themselves into the walls -- no /visible/ debris posing a hazard, at least.]

[23.05.2024 04:00:51] Kiyohime: [As they reached closer, there was a picture hanging on the wall next to the door to the scanner room. A picture of a woman -

[23.05.2024 04:01:12] Kiyohime: -wearing red. The particle fire desintegrated her head. Good shot on the 'Empress'.]

[23.05.2024 04:02:06] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Huh."

[23.05.2024 04:02:58] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Ugh. Imperialist stuff. Um, hi, we're outside the door. Enemies're all dead. Um, and then some."

[23.05.2024 04:03:00] Kiyohime: [Since it was all shot to bits, the electronic pad was too. The door was probably either open or jammed.]

[23.05.2024 04:03:18] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: well you're the DM here, you tell us whether it's open or jammed :p

[23.05.2024 04:03:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Don't open it unless you have a working EVA suit on though, the hall's completely unpressurized."

[23.05.2024 04:03:54] Kiyohime: [There was movement inside the room.] "I am armed and dangerous but I will come out with my hands up, just so you know."-

[23.05.2024 04:04:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "How much oxygen do you have?"

[23.05.2024 04:04:34] Kiyohime: -[Sadly, the door did not BULGE as someone from the inside tried to open it.] "Did.. you shoot the pad? You shot the pad.. -

[23.05.2024 04:05:00] Kiyohime: -My EVA suit still has.. oxygen for a bit. I am fine, I guess."

[23.05.2024 04:05:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "/I/ didn't. Blame the Technocrats for that. Um, do you have good cover in there somewhere?"

[23.05.2024 04:05:20] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "We can use a charge or I can cut it open. Your choice."

[23.05.2024 04:05:23] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "I thought we did overkill well, but wow."

[23.05.2024 04:05:44] Kiyohime: "Can you cut it open? I doubt the ship can withstand another explosion and I don't really want to lose it."

[23.05.2024 04:06:01] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She turns her head back to look over her shoulder.] "Who are we rescuing here, exactly? You said a Chrysanthemum?"

[23.05.2024 04:06:36] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "I thought so, but it looks like a lot of Dragon stuff in here too. The hull outside just had a Chrysanthemum flower, and-

[23.05.2024 04:06:58] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "she /talks/ like a Chrysanthemum, but she said she's not a Sister directly."

[23.05.2024 04:07:05] Kiyohime: "You do know I can hear you, right? While you open this, I can explain, I guess."

[23.05.2024 04:08:34] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She sighs.] "Let me go get my bag." [She walks over to where she left it floating in the stairwell doorway.]

[23.05.2024 04:08:49] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Thank you."

[23.05.2024 04:10:13] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "How're you doing, Hideyoshi? I mean, besides the obvious. Like, are we gonna need to get a medical team?"

[23.05.2024 04:10:54] Kiyohime: "I am fine. Just a cut on my arm but I bandaged it before I got into the suit. I just hope you won't shoot me."

[23.05.2024 04:11:26] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Why... are you worried about that?"

[23.05.2024 04:11:31] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Returning a moment later, she kneels down and sets her bag gingerly down onto the floor. Swiftly she pulls out a small 

[23.05.2024 04:11:34] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: plasma torch.]

[23.05.2024 04:11:57] Kiyohime: "Well. Wilds on my ship. You can't know if I am a thrall or not. Or if I am infected myself. So the worry is very much there."

[23.05.2024 04:12:54] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Oh, you know what they are? Um, I'm not planning to. I'm sure the Technocrats have some kind of procedure or something -

[23.05.2024 04:13:01] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "they'll use. Maybe a protocol?"

[23.05.2024 04:13:17] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "My goal's to get you and your people out safe and clean."

[23.05.2024 04:13:33] A/)-Etna: Once they are detained, we will begin screening procedures.

[23.05.2024 04:13:47] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Knew it."

[23.05.2024 04:13:51] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Alright. Recommend you both look 180 away from the door."

[23.05.2024 04:13:57] Kiyohime: "The Sisterhood was my exile when the Shogunate fell. Second exile. Fun. All I know about them is the Red Empress didn't like-

[23.05.2024 04:13:59] Kiyohime: -them."

[23.05.2024 04:14:01] A/)-Etna: Knew what?

[23.05.2024 04:14:16] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Got it. Red Empress?" [She turns away from the the door.]

[23.05.2024 04:14:27] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "That you'd have something you'd call a procedure or protocol."

[23.05.2024 04:14:30] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "All clear on the other end?"

[23.05.2024 04:14:35] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Don't worry, I'm not complaining, I'm just poking fun."

[23.05.2024 04:14:39] Kiyohime: [She turns away, huffing.] "All green. Go."

[23.05.2024 04:15:27] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She flicks the torch on, cutting the door away from the wall. In a moment, visible light is creeping through from the other 

[23.05.2024 04:15:30] A/)-Etna: [It takes a second for a response to come.] Once they have been cleared, we will ascertain their status in our custody. It--

[23.05.2024 04:15:45] A/)-Etna: --seems their affiliation with the Chrysanthemums and Dragons is hazy.

[23.05.2024 04:16:10] Kiyohime: "The Red Empress. The 'harem leader' of the Sisterhood of Light. While they cuddle with the Order."

[23.05.2024 04:16:32] A/)-Yoruha-: Red Empress.. sounds familiar.

[23.05.2024 04:16:33] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: side, and in around a minute, the keypad-facing side and the top are glowing white-hot.]

[23.05.2024 04:16:56] A/)-Yoruha-: Etna, Yoruha, situation seems to be stabilized. Request to be relieved.

[23.05.2024 04:16:58] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [A moment later and the other edge of the sliding door is nearly cut through.]

[23.05.2024 04:17:14] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Other side, stand back. About to kick the door down -- it's very hot."

[23.05.2024 04:17:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Harem leader? Ughhh. They managed to hit two at once. So many people eager to take advantage of the Sisters."

[23.05.2024 04:18:24] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Give me the all-clear when ready."

[23.05.2024 04:18:29] Kiyohime: "I ran off, with those loyal to me. My mother is busy kissing her feet, a slave to the Outcasts and the Order."-

[23.05.2024 04:18:36] Kiyohime: -[She stepped back from the door.] "Clear."

[23.05.2024 04:19:05] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [The last, bottom bit of the door is sliced through, and Gestalt flicks the arc welder off and kicks the door down in two 

[23.05.2024 04:19:07] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: swift motions.]

[23.05.2024 04:19:11] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Ugh. I know that feeling all too well. Pretty similar story here, honestly, back when the fake Matsuda heiress came to-

[23.05.2024 04:19:16] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "power. Order's new, though."

[23.05.2024 04:19:39] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  getting tired, gonna bounce

[23.05.2024 04:19:48] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: ye im gonna sheep after this

[23.05.2024 04:19:48] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko spins around as she hears the door fall in, rifle at the ready but not lifted to fire.]

[23.05.2024 04:19:50] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: thank for joining

[23.05.2024 04:19:52] [OOC] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: nini

[23.05.2024 04:19:56] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  No prob

[23.05.2024 04:19:59] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: sheep well nodo

[23.05.2024 04:20:12] [OOC] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: sweet and clear dreams~

[23.05.2024 04:20:14] [OOC] A/)-Yoruha-:  sheep well peti, denelo

[23.05.2024 04:20:58] Kiyohime: [The door fell. Yukiko standing there with her hands up as she turned around. She was indeed armed. Two laser pistols.] -

[23.05.2024 04:21:07] Kiyohime: -"I probably don't need to say 'Don't shoot'."

[23.05.2024 04:21:11] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [There Gestalt stood, plasma torch in hand -- her white-with-purple-trim hardsuit only marred by a few stray scratches.]

[23.05.2024 04:21:56] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Her sidearm was on her belt, with her PDW clearly visible -- a normal SMG. Bretonian-make, if the others could identify.]

[23.05.2024 04:22:36] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She gave a sheepish wave.] "There's no need for the hands-up-don't-shoot procedure. We're not Houston bobbies, here."

[23.05.2024 04:23:32] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko stands behind her, shiny new rifle in contrast with the aged EVA suit she wears. At her side is a tiny pistol, but she-

[23.05.2024 04:23:43] Kiyohime: [Lowering her hands, she sighed.] "Let me guess. I am in custody and about to be run through something to determine I am one-

[23.05.2024 04:23:45] Kiyohime: -of them?"

[23.05.2024 04:23:53] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [has little else with her, in contrast to the well-equipped Technocrat in front of her.]

[23.05.2024 04:24:17] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Probably? I wanna be sure you're okay first but yeah, that's gotta be the idea. Um, how do you know what a Wilde is?"

[23.05.2024 04:25:35] Kiyohime: "Let's just say we made contact several times in the past already. They shot me, I shot them back. This however was the first-

[23.05.2024 04:25:40] Kiyohime: -encounter in person."

[23.05.2024 04:26:07] If you are killed in a PvP fight, you are not allowed to re-engage the player or group of players that you were fighting any of your characters for 1 hour. Self-destruction during such fights also counts as a PvP death.

[23.05.2024 04:26:07] Characters of a player who was killed in a PvP fight must not return into the same system for 1 hour. Check the server rules on the forums for the exceptions to this.

[23.05.2024 04:26:30] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "I was hoping for a little more than a 'let's just say.'"

[23.05.2024 04:26:58] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I'm sorry to tell you, but you're going to have to go through processing and complete bioscans either way."

[23.05.2024 04:27:05] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "You may as well be honest with us."

[23.05.2024 04:27:10] Kiyohime: "There is not much to say about that. The ones I met were very eager to identify themselves. Not to mention a Rheinland-

[23.05.2024 04:27:39] Kiyohime: -Battleship with the designation 'Schiller' being equipped with questionable tech that flared up on our scanners back then."

[23.05.2024 04:27:57] A/)-Etna: Schiller. Fascinating.

[23.05.2024 04:28:52] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "To identify themselves? Wow, that's... new."

[23.05.2024 04:29:13] Kiyohime: "Dear, I am a born Dragon. Youngest sister of the former Shogun. I.. know some things about them. But probably things the-

[23.05.2024 04:29:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Doesn't that kinda defeat the point? Though I guess the one I ran into out in Delta did the same..."

[23.05.2024 04:29:24] Kiyohime: -Technocracy already knows. As my information is rather old."

[23.05.2024 04:29:42] A/)-Etna: Some of them are not used for infiltration. Some are meant to kill with no duplicity.

[23.05.2024 04:30:16] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Why do they bother with the infestation then? That seems... I dunno. Wasteful? Not that I'm really complaining."

[23.05.2024 04:30:34] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "It's complicated. Sometimes it's to unlock greater potential."

[23.05.2024 04:30:42] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Sometimes it's just a simple tactical choice."

[23.05.2024 04:30:51] A/)-Etna: Sometimes, a perverse irony.

[23.05.2024 04:31:08] A/)-Etna: But many times? The brief hesitation when one, at first, sees a human.

[23.05.2024 04:31:19] Kiyohime: "And I already guessed you are taking me into custody. Atleast that is better than.. with the others."

[23.05.2024 04:31:24] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "... Okay, I guess. Regardless, we've gotta get out of here and get this ship back to a shipyard."

[23.05.2024 04:31:47] A/)-Etna: Invergordon for the vessel, and Valravn for the surviving personnel.

[23.05.2024 04:31:59] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Assuming you are not an infectee, you will almost certainly not be brought to harm."

[23.05.2024 04:32:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "The people from the cargo hold are safe. Um. Though... I did assume they were GC, so... we might wanna get them off the-

[23.05.2024 04:32:52] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: Ichihara quickly if they don't want to learn firsthand about the Orange Dream."

[23.05.2024 04:33:18] A/)-Etna: The Citadel lacks space, presently, for the liner. But we will need to conduct screenings there. The Ichihara can drop them--

[23.05.2024 04:33:29] A/)-Etna: --off and we can send tugs out to move the Kiyohime.

[23.05.2024 04:34:05] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Okay, sounds good. Probably better than trying to pull it with the Ichihara, too, tugs are more stable than tow lines."

[23.05.2024 04:34:06] Kiyohime: "Well. If they can't fling their incubus through a wall then I shouldn't be infected."

[23.05.2024 04:35:27] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Still. Have to check."

[23.05.2024 04:35:37] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Yeah, but we don't know that. Come on, let's get out of here before that suit runs out of air."

[23.05.2024 04:35:40] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Erm... what was your name?"

[23.05.2024 04:36:18] Kiyohime: "Yukiko Kikushima Hideyoshi." [She nods as she steps closer.] "I hope the Junkers are not going to scrap it... I want it back."

[23.05.2024 04:36:25] A/)-Etna: At the very least, enthrallment must be dealt with."

[23.05.2024 04:36:53] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko motions to her and turns to start down the hall.] "They aren't. Just need a safe place to put it for now."

[23.05.2024 04:37:19] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "It's good to meet you, Hideyoshi. I'm Yoko Mori."

[23.05.2024 04:38:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Sentinel Gestalt." [She waits for Hideyoshi to follow Yoko, so that she can bring up the rear.]

[23.05.2024 04:39:19] Kiyohime: [A smirk on her lips.] "A pleasure, indeed." [Stepping out the door she looked to her left to the ruined picture.] "Saves me-

[23.05.2024 04:39:23] Kiyohime: -time to remove it."

[23.05.2024 04:39:46] Kiyohime: "Nice shot though." [She followed Yoko right away.]

[23.05.2024 04:40:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko hurries back through the corridors, retracing her steps to and up the stairwell.] "Um, Sentinel, do you have a safe way-

[23.05.2024 04:41:04] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "to transport her in your ship?

[23.05.2024 04:41:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I do."

[23.05.2024 04:41:15] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "I'd rather not expose her to cardamine unless she wants that."

[23.05.2024 04:41:20] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Okay, good."

[23.05.2024 04:41:57] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As Gestalt steps through the door, she leans down to pick up her toolbag, depositing the torch inside before affixing the bag

[23.05.2024 04:42:02] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: to her belt with a cable.]

[23.05.2024 04:42:39] A/)-Etna: [Etna remains in position, floating close by. The gun barrels still glow with the heat of the earlier barrage.]

[23.05.2024 04:44:25] Kiyohime: "I would rather not. No offense though." [A chuckle coming from her as she continued to follow.] "You are not going to-

[23.05.2024 04:44:38] Kiyohime: -sell me, right? Right. Good. Okay. Just making sure."

[23.05.2024 04:46:22] Notice: Armor Upgrades have been removed from the server. You will have received a full refund at purchase price.

[23.05.2024 04:46:30] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Sell you?"

[23.05.2024 04:46:57] Kiyohime: "Well. You know. To gain favors or something. One can never know."

[23.05.2024 04:47:13] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "...We do not engage in slavery, no."

[23.05.2024 04:48:07] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Good grief. No, don't worry, you're safe. We're just gonna make sure you're okay, yeah?"

[23.05.2024 04:48:15] A/)-Etna: We do not participate in that illicit activity.

[23.05.2024 04:48:57] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko pauses as they catch back up with the other ex-GC on the upper deck, visually checking on them before approaching.]

[23.05.2024 04:49:10] Kiyohime: "Huh, fine. I am not too worried about your.. doings. I have nothing to hide."

[23.05.2024 04:49:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Then you have nothing to fear."

[23.05.2024 04:49:56] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Unless you're spying for the Houses, or are a hostile infectee, we have no reason to harm you."

[23.05.2024 04:50:26] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "How'd you even get here, anyways? This is an awfully long way away."

[23.05.2024 04:50:31] Kiyohime: "The houses? They can burn for all I care. And I prefer black and gold over... purple."

[23.05.2024 04:51:03] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Yoko approaches her crewmembers and briefly confers with them, then nods to the others and motions them forward.]

[23.05.2024 04:51:20] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Sentinel, you take her back to your ship, yeah? Do you want me to send someone else with you just in case?"

[23.05.2024 04:51:46] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I think we'll be fine. Thank you."

[23.05.2024 04:52:24] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Okay, sounds good. We'll get back to the Ichihara then." She pauses to offer a warm smile through the glass of her -

[23.05.2024 04:52:26] Kiyohime: "Well. We couldn't stay in Kusari. The houses? Not really. So we went for Inverness, the Freeport here. They wouldn't look-

[23.05.2024 04:52:28] Kiyohime: -for us here."

[23.05.2024 04:53:06] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Gestalt returns the smile, though it isn't visible through the tinted glass of her helmet.]

[23.05.2024 04:53:13] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [antiquated EVA suit.] "Talk to you when the Technocracy's sure you're clean, yeah, Hideyoshi? If you're okay with that."

[23.05.2024 04:53:47] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She then turns back to her new 'guest'.] "Hideyoshi-san, do you have maneuvering capability on your EVA suit?"

[23.05.2024 04:54:46] Kiyohime: "I am of course okay with it. You can talk off my ears if you wish to." [A grin appearing on her lips, visible through the-

[23.05.2024 04:55:03] Kiyohime: -glass of her helmet.] "Oh and.. yes. They should still work. I hope.."

[23.05.2024 04:55:45] A/)-Etna: Confirm acquisition of HVT. Ichihara-actual, leaving the rest of the crew to you.

[23.05.2024 04:56:54] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: Y: "Oh, wonderful. Okay, sounds good. See you soon, then!" She gives a happy little wave and hurries off with her people back-

[23.05.2024 04:57:02] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [in the direction of the mooring point.]

[23.05.2024 04:57:31] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "See you soon, Yoko. Hideyoshi-san, please, this way." [She gives the boarding team a little wave and turns to walk towards

[23.05.2024 04:57:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: the bridge.]

[23.05.2024 04:57:43] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: "Understood, Etna. We'll move them quickly to Valravn as soon as the boarding team is back on board."

[23.05.2024 04:59:34] Kiyohime: [Yukiko bows slightly towards Yoko before she followed Gestalt to the bridge. She was quiet... watching while walking.]

[23.05.2024 05:00:18] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As they entered the bridge, they'd come across the corpse that Gestalt found earlier. The latter would pause, exhaling slowly]

[23.05.2024 05:00:48] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "She was already gone when I arrived. The decompression would have made sure of it. I'm sorry."

[23.05.2024 05:01:22] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [The Ichihara's bridge retreats after the crew pass through, far less burdened by equipment on the return. A moment later the-

[23.05.2024 05:01:31] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: [Ichihara pulls back from the Kiyohime.]

[23.05.2024 05:02:14] Kiyohime: [Yukiko stopped as she looked at the corpse. Closing her eyes for a moment, she leaned down. Kneeling besides her-

[23.05.2024 05:02:50] TFP)-HFL-Ichihara: K: "Away team confirmed to be back on board. Getting ready to head back to Valravn."

[23.05.2024 05:02:58] Kiyohime: -Yukiko reached out and rolled her onto her back. She placed her hands together and placed them onto her body,-

[23.05.2024 05:03:48] Kiyohime: -stroking through her hair for a moment. The body was frozen by now.] "She will get a proper burial once I am back. She-

[23.05.2024 05:04:04] Kiyohime: -deserves even more. She is the reason we even made it here."

[23.05.2024 05:05:11] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Do you need help carrying her?"

[23.05.2024 05:06:25] Kiyohime: [Sighing out, she lifted her up.] "I.. am fine. Thank you. Just make sure her body is not... disappearing while I run through-

[23.05.2024 05:06:29] Kiyohime: -your procedures."

[23.05.2024 05:07:01] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "We can preserve her however you like. I don't know if there's a traditional method for it in Kusari, but I'm sure that we 

[23.05.2024 05:07:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: could accomodate."

[23.05.2024 05:08:54] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Regardless, let's get onto the Kolokytha."

[23.05.2024 05:09:47] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She looked toward the front of the bridge.] "Er, sorry. I had to cut my way in. The hole isn't very large."

[23.05.2024 05:10:14] Kiyohime: "If you preserve her until the Kiyohime is back, we will give her a burial worth a Shogun. Firing her into the sun.."

[23.05.2024 05:10:39] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "We won't be able to pay for your repairs, sadly."

[23.05.2024 05:10:41] Kiyohime: "I am more impressed by the fact that the turrets got stuck in the ceiling and you managed to do it without resistance. Heh."

[23.05.2024 05:11:03] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "The..." [She looks up, scanning the ceiling.] "Oh, Eirene above, that would've been bad."

[23.05.2024 05:11:26] A/)-Etna: A fact unmentioned until boarders had already arrived.

[23.05.2024 05:11:56] Kiyohime: "I can probably pay for half of it. Seems like I need a 'job'. And I would have mentioned it if I didn't get shot at half way."

[23.05.2024 05:12:47] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Well, regardless." [She walks over to the oblong hole cut into the front windows, climbing through and pushing herself down in

[23.05.2024 05:13:04] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: the direction of the hull to get a solid place to jump off from.]

[23.05.2024 05:13:23] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Let me know if you need help."

[23.05.2024 05:14:03] Kiyohime: [Reaching to her belt, she pulled out a cable from it. Clipping it onto the belt of the corpse, she let her float as she-

[23.05.2024 05:14:30] Kiyohime: -climbed up through the window, maneuvering carefully.] "All good, I think."

[23.05.2024 05:15:08] A/)-Etna: [She lets out a sigh, flexing her hand.]

[23.05.2024 05:16:47] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Ready, then?" [She flicks off her magloc, jumping towards the freighter about twenty meters above them.]

[23.05.2024 05:16:53] A/)-Etna: Will need to revisit the effect of psionics on the implants...

[23.05.2024 05:17:07] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Might have some datapoints for you on that."

[23.05.2024 05:17:31] A/)-Etna: I'll make use of them. Xenomaterials from the Anchor might be useful.

[23.05.2024 05:18:15] Kiyohime: "Never been more ready." [She pushed herself off, maglock disabled as she floats up to the freighter.] "Atleast I am hitting-

[23.05.2024 05:18:35] Kiyohime: -on purpose. Not like my mother as she said it was an accident. Hah."

[23.05.2024 05:20:20] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "What?"

[23.05.2024 05:20:27] Kiyohime: "Nothing. Nothing."

[23.05.2024 05:21:00] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Oookay." [As they come up on the freighter, Gestalt turns on her maneuvering jets, pulling up slowly to an open hatch at the 

[23.05.2024 05:21:01] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: bottom.]

[23.05.2024 05:22:29] Kiyohime: [She soon hit the underside of the freighter, activating her maglocks on her boots and her gloves to hang on the hull like a-

[23.05.2024 05:22:32] Kiyohime: -spider.]

[23.05.2024 05:24:48] A/)-Etna: [The Hammerhead moves to an escort position by the Voayger.]

[23.05.2024 05:27:54] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Climb on in... pull on that rope tight." [In reference to the body.]

[23.05.2024 05:28:24] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [As she speaks, she pulls herself up into the hatch, standing on a narrow ledge at the side. Not much room in the airlock

[23.05.2024 05:28:30] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: for repressurization.]

[23.05.2024 05:29:00] A/)-Etna: Once HVT is secured, RTB to Valravn. I will signal for the automated tugs.

[23.05.2024 05:29:22] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Solid copy, Etna."

[23.05.2024 05:29:32] Kiyohime: [Climbed up and pulled that rope tightly after.] "Sometimes I forget how small and tight.. freighters are."

[23.05.2024 05:30:42] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "It's not that small once we're inside, but perhaps compared to a liner..." [Gestalt pulls out a datapad, rapidly pressing

[23.05.2024 05:31:06] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: a series of buttons. The airlock's lower doors close and the chamber starts repressurizing as she stows it back on her belt.]

[23.05.2024 05:31:44] A/)-Etna: A Kusari terrorist vessel bearing infected KOI agents within 20k of Valravn.

[23.05.2024 05:32:00] Kiyohime: [Yukiko was nervous. Pretty much visible. And there it was again. An attempt of a bad joke while waiting.] "So uhm.. -

[23.05.2024 05:32:04] Kiyohime: -coming here often?"

[23.05.2024 05:32:08] A/)-Etna: This is difficult to accept at face value.

[23.05.2024 05:32:34] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "I know. But even stranger things have happened, even assuming this isn't somehow an elaborate ruse."

[23.05.2024 05:32:48] A/)-Etna: Interrogation is needed.

[23.05.2024 05:32:55] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Actually, I rarely get to use the Kolokytha. I wish it weren't so, but my work usually keeps me aboard Valravn or has me

[23.05.2024 05:32:59] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: out and about in my fighter."

[23.05.2024 05:35:30] Kiyohime: "Ahh.. I see. Uh, yes. Good. Reasonable. The Liner is rather old. It hasn't been mine for long actually. I kinda.. uhm."

[23.05.2024 05:35:50] Kiyohime: "I borrowed it."

[23.05.2024 05:36:19] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [Her voice is completely flat.] "You can say 'stole'. It's fine."

[23.05.2024 05:37:19] Kiyohime: "I stole it, hacked the transponder and changed it. Actually no. I requisitioned it."

[23.05.2024 05:38:00] A/)-Etna: Valravn Control, Etna. We need four tugs. Invergordon-bound.

[23.05.2024 05:38:08] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Quite frankly, I don't care how you got it. Interrogation isn't my job."

[23.05.2024 05:38:33] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [About six feet above them, the upper hatch of the airlock begins opening. As it does, Gestalt grabs one of the doors

[23.05.2024 05:38:40] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: and heaves herself up into the body of the ship.]

[23.05.2024 05:39:52] Kiyohime: [Yukiko followed. And the moment she was in the body of the ship, she simply collapsed on the floor from exhaustion with a-

[23.05.2024 05:40:00] Kiyohime: -loud THUP.]

[23.05.2024 05:40:23] A/)-Etna: Prepare to receive detainees, as well. Code Yellow. Virome screening needed.

[23.05.2024 05:40:25] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Best to unclip your friend now. Probably, uhm... best to leave her in the airlock."

[23.05.2024 05:42:24] Kiyohime: [There was no response. She was laying there. Out cold from exhaustion.]

[23.05.2024 05:42:54] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: "Ah, bugger." [She leaned down, looking for a clamp on the rope to unfasten.]

[23.05.2024 05:43:11] A/)-Etna: Status report?

[23.05.2024 05:43:33] Kiyohime: [The clamp found, it was rather easy to unfasten. And so it happened. Rope gone. Kusarian K.O.]

[23.05.2024 05:44:50] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [With that taken care of, Gestalt stepped on a floor-pedal to close the airlock and removed her helmet, settling down into

[23.05.2024 05:45:04] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: the chair at the controls and pulling away from the now-decrepit liner.]

[23.05.2024 05:45:15] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: Ready for RTB.

[23.05.2024 05:46:03] A/)-Etna: Proceed.

[23.05.2024 05:46:20] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: What a day, huh.

[23.05.2024 05:46:32] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: At least I didn't die again this time.

[23.05.2024 05:46:45] A/)-Etna: A commonality between us.

[23.05.2024 05:47:00] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: [She chuckles.] Raven's funny necromancy spell get you too?

[23.05.2024 05:47:02] Unsure about the regions listed in your ID? You can use the following command to access the full systems classification list - /helpmenu regions 

[23.05.2024 05:47:19] A/)-Etna: No. Becoming a living escape pod for Gammuians did.

[23.05.2024 05:47:27] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: I see.

[23.05.2024 05:47:41] A/)-SV-Kolokytha: I can only assume, but thanks for that.

[23.05.2024 05:48:12] A/)-Etna: I estimate their processing should be smooth. I doubt they wish to jeopardize their position.

Hi. I talked to Yukiko - the VIP from yesterday - again. After she heard about what we've been through and my missing mom, she offered to join as a personal favor to me for saving her life. So that's a recruit for us, I guess. I gave her the standard package and'll be taking her to the recruitment office tomorrow. Her liner is in bad shape, but it's still in Invergordon, so if we can find the resources to pay to get it fixed that could be an asset.

[SECURE - GOLD]

Initiate Crowe, myself, and one other responded to an unknown signature in Kansas. After trailing their emissions, Crowe and I located a marked Rheinland Bustard claiming to be a passenger liner doing rounds in Kansas, although the ship's armament and IFF left a lot to question. After some questioning, the ship appeared to be returning to Rheinland after a trek into Kansas to locate either the whereabouts or remains of the child of the patron they had aboard. About midway through, Initiate Crowe and I were joined by Fleet Captain With, but Crowe departed soon afterwards.

The ship's captain appeared to be speaking in code, which makes interpreting it tricky, but it's likely they were looking for someone related to Insurgent fighting in Kansas, or who was part of a convoy that lead to the invasion. By the Captain's own testimony, their patron was 'satisfied' with their outing, telling me they either found who they were looking for, or discovered sufficient evidence connected to them.

Still, an apology was given, and on top of a 'favor' of varying usefulness, we can hopefully expect a message from their patron.
Allegedly. Perhaps.

"Greetings."

"I was about to finish my patrols for the day. Nothing unusual, except for the lonely Outcast in the Coronado system. Then something appeared on the radar at Valravn. Convoy of ships with the Coalition IFF."

"We talked. Turned out they brought munitions for Valravn, but for some reason there was no one to pick it up. Not sure what to make of it, so I thought it's worth reporting."

"Contacted Valravn and helped with moving munitions after that."

"Attaching logs."

Hi. I led a convoy of trade ships including me, Initiate Hideyoshi, Initiate Wanaeil, Initiate Fel, and Initiate Carmine to bring Iridium back to Invergordon in preparation for shipbuilding. We made a few runs. It was mostly uneventful, but one transport did take pretty major damage almost hitting the planet in Omicron Theta. A green planet in a green nebula right between two jump holes... it's such a horrible combination it's kinda hard to believe. No casualties, thankfully. Anyways, we brought in a total of 34,600 standard cargo units over the course of a few runs.

We did run into a Gallic Naval Intelligence ship in Inverness. Had an interesting conversation about Gallic politics, and they expressed an interest in working with us and the Technocrats. I'll reach out to them soon.
