I have a pretty... interesting encounter today. If you would say I am going to see Gallic Outcast, I would laugh. And laugh and laugh. The thing is, I came across such a man. The chatter was quite long and prolonged my Manifold haul into Valetta, but proved to be quite interesting one.
[31.12.822 07:16:21] Ulysses: Hide: Ahhh, welcome welcome! I got Manifolds for glorious Nacion Maltesa.
[31.12.822 07:16:28] Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[31.12.822 07:16:46] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: So it would seem mesiuer..
[31.12.822 07:16:48] Ulysses: Hide: Now, that's quite interesting ship Outcasts laid hands on.
[31.12.822 07:17:14] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: The only one of iets kind in Les Maltan hands..
[31.12.822 07:17:20] Ulysses: Hide: Wait a second. A Gallic Outcast? I've seen everything.
[31.12.822 07:17:41] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: *chuckles* You'd be surprised Mesiuer..
[31.12.822 07:18:04] Ulysses: Hide: Mhm.Never seen any of your kind in Outcast ranks...
[31.12.822 07:18:22] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Iet's a long tale..
[31.12.822 07:18:53] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: You wouldn't find many of mon kind within Les Maltan space..
[31.12.822 07:19:09] Ulysses: Hide: *Crosses his arms.* I pressume.
[31.12.822 07:19:43] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Again as I said. Iet's a long tale to tell.
[31.12.822 07:21:25] Ulysses: Hide: *Raises his eyebrow.* You went silent, Gaul-sama.
[31.12.822 07:21:35] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I did?...
[31.12.822 07:22:35] Ulysses: Hide: I thought you were going to speak about a tale of your voyages, or something.
[31.12.822 07:23:00] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Here would not be an.. appropriate measure to tell such a tale.
[31.12.822 07:23:36] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: ALlow moi to finish this run into Discordian territory.. Then we'll talk..
[31.12.822 07:23:45] Ulysses: Hide: Aye.
[31.12.822 07:24:46] Ulysses: Hide: Going anywhere in particular, anyway?
[31.12.822 07:24:58] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Right ahead mesiuer.
[31.12.822 07:25:12] Ulysses: Hide: *Looks at his scanners.* Ah yes, Shasta.
[31.12.822 07:25:48] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I dispize being here but.. fund must be made to the upkeep of moi Guillotine..
[31.12.822 07:26:19] Ulysses: Hide: Displeased? Sound like you didn't like Zoners.
[31.12.822 07:26:37] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: A single Discordian.. Not all of them..

[31.12.822 07:27:08] Ulysses: Hide: I have a strange feeling it is about TAZ Pope.
[31.12.822 07:27:29] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: You would be very correct Junkuer..
[31.12.822 07:27:32] Attention! Stand clear. Towing OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel
[31.12.822 07:27:43] Ulysses: Hide: I've never liked TAZ or their crazy cult.
[31.12.822 07:28:19] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Iet ies not their cult which I distaste, it is th eknowledge of being part of such a lesser soul..
[31.12.822 07:29:02] Ulysses: Hide: Pardon my reservation, but I've never been on good term with Gallia. While everyone hates GRN, I also have some--
[31.12.822 07:29:19] Ulysses: --distaste towards Unione Corse.
[31.12.822 07:29:34] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: THe Corse. I've dealt with them many a time..
[31.12.822 07:29:53] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: But hold no reserve towards such.. I never have..
[31.12.822 07:30:15] Ulysses: Hide: It's more complicated, I must say, friend.
[31.12.822 07:30:18] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I must stop upon Freeport 6 for a medigel band..
[31.12.822 07:30:45] Ulysses: Hide: Ah yes, Cryer had a good deal providing Freeport 6 with those.
[31.12.822 07:30:54] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Personal use... It comes with being in and out of Cryo..

[31.12.822 07:32:19] Ulysses: Hide: Well, back to the topic. Reservation to Unione comes from their deals with Hogosha. Petty tuxedo-and-tie criminals.
[31.12.822 07:32:56] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Shall we continue?
[31.12.822 07:33:03] Ulysses: Hide: Of course.
[31.12.822 07:33:26] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I have sadly not met any of the.. Hogosha.. You speak of sadly..
[31.12.822 07:33:47] Ulysses: Hide: They roam in Kusari and sometimes in Tau-29.
[31.12.822 07:34:07] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I see.. Kusari was never much to moi liking..
[31.12.822 07:34:45] Ulysses: Hide: Well, I come from there.
[31.12.822 07:34:54] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Do you now?..
[31.12.822 07:35:14] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I'm afraid my deepest venture into Kusari was the Kyushu system..
[31.12.822 07:35:40] Ulysses: Hide: Aye, the most beautiful system in the entire Kusari. Some argue Shikoku is.
[31.12.822 07:36:13] Ulysses: Hide: Oh my, where are my manners. My name's Hidetaka Kojima, friend.
[31.12.822 07:36:19] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I do however miss the rings of Tonnerre...
[31.12.822 07:36:38] Ulysses: Hide: I do hope you'd find calm in Rings of Aso.
[31.12.822 07:36:39] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Manners are appropriate... Felanis.. Vulpe Felanis Mesiuer..
[31.12.822 07:36:55] Ulysses: Hide: Vulpe, hah. Mr Fox then?
[31.12.822 07:37:21] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Pardone?..
[31.12.822 07:37:31] Ulysses: Hide: Nevermind... Just joking.
[31.12.822 07:37:42] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I see then..
[31.12.822 07:37:50] Ulysses: Hide: Doesn't 'vulpe' mean 'fox' in your language?
[31.12.822 07:38:06] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I do not know.. It was what I was designated.
[31.12.822 07:38:19] Ulysses: Hide: Hmh.
[31.12.822 07:38:40] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Granted by the past Lord Enzo Du Sable..
[31.12.822 07:39:00] Ulysses: Hide: Enzo? Sounds more Kusarian than it should.
[31.12.822 07:39:15] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: A former Royalist Lord..
[31.12.822 07:39:28] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: In a sense.. Moi creator..
[31.12.822 07:40:22] Ulysses: Hide: Creator? How come? Your, father, you mean?
[31.12.822 07:40:56] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Non. He ies moi Lord. Moi ... variant.. Ies the Discordian I spoke of..
[31.12.822 07:41:15] Ulysses: Hide: Ha, so you don't like him because of that, or...?
[31.12.822 07:41:34] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: How would you feel of being the echo of someone else?
[31.12.822 07:42:04] Ulysses: Hide: I wasn't born to made great deals or a future. I'm humble, and being 'echo' is... well. Enough.
[31.12.822 07:42:45] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: To moi I'm afraid, gives state of a lesser being... To be that of a .....clone..
[31.12.822 07:42:57] Ulysses: Hide: ... clone?
[31.12.822 07:43:15] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Indeed.. I do not enjoy saying that sole word mesieur..
[31.12.822 07:43:44] Ulysses: Hide: Don't tell me you are an actual clone.
[31.12.822 07:43:54] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Not direct.. Non..
[31.12.822 07:44:13] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Tampering of some other genetic material added to the base..
[31.12.822 07:44:22] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: I am what I am..
[31.12.822 07:44:29] Ulysses: Hide: Thank Heavens, for a moment I thought these crazy Zoners made... Oh.
[31.12.822 07:44:51] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Non. I am the creation of Royalists..
[31.12.822 07:45:13] Ulysses: Hide: *Spits.* Damn Royalist, making Kusari to bend to its knee.
[31.12.822 07:45:13] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Fallen and persecuted from grace..
[31.12.822 07:45:24] OCT-La.Rosen.Ciel: Vulpe: Let me show you..
For sure, "Parchydeme"-class bearing the Outcast IFF is a quite unorthodox view. Guess there are such people as well, then.
As for the other topics, I found out Odani-maru is beyond repairs after the last encounter, so it seems Ulysses, the rebranded Chikuzen, would be my flagship for a while. Well, I find her a bit more tough and better, so far. Well, for sure I won't be the one to argue. Thing is, it might get useful to tame such a firepower.
Oh yes, I've heard Cortari Lance is back. I'm not sure what to think about it and I think that Crimson Cross and Cortari Lance might be pushing each other in order to get one stable leadership over Outcasts. Let's hope not.
