"Well. That's honestly depressing. The FOB was absolutely annihilated, yet the patrol vessels are empty. Whatever got pass the defence line, certainly earns my congratulations for it's wit and ingenious strike.

The uplink will remain open to selected individuals and allies. I allowed the Initiative to take whatever abandoned vessels they came across, and I have offered some of our remnants to either join their forces, or act on their own will and choose their own path.

My mission will continue, even if I am limited to myself. For the sake of Humanity. Me and the remaining resources and operatives onboard, such as the 'Zeta Wing' subjects, will move in silence, allowing us to perhaps observe a little more in peace without too much attention, as our presence is - well... small.

The Zealous


Small report time. I encountered the Zealous residing around Omicron Alpha, within Malta's orbit. It appeared that 'Zeal' - Geoff's AI wife - was controlling the vessel at the moment. It's notable they were panicking, most likely desiring to rid of Hunt by calling for help.

[10.03.2016 01:02:33] "The-Zealous": ?: Raba...
[10.03.2016 01:02:41] "The-Zealous": ?: Does not ring a bell, or come up in any searches

[10.03.2016 01:03:31] Joshua.Hunt: He wasn't very nice.

[10.03.2016 01:03:55] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Heh.
"
[10.03.2016 01:04:28] Joshua.Hunt: So uh.
[10.03.2016 01:04:34] Joshua.Hunt: Why are we here, exactly?
[10.03.2016 01:04:45] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: I don't know why /you're/ here.
[10.03.2016 01:04:50] Joshua.Hunt: Following you?


[10.03.2016 01:05:34] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: I'm wondering if we could have a talk.
[10.03.2016 01:05:46] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Friendly - no harm, just a little casual talk.
[10.03.2016 01:05:55] "The-Zealous": ?: My ass.
[10.03.2016 01:05:59] Joshua.Hunt: Oh, hey.
[10.03.2016 01:06:00] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Hum.
[10.03.2016 01:06:03] Joshua.Hunt: It's Geoff and or Zeal.
[10.03.2016 01:06:06] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Why so?
[10.03.2016 01:06:11] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Hes not here...
[10.03.2016 01:06:19] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Go find him in Rheinland.
[10.03.2016 01:06:22] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Have I proven to be a hostile to you?

[10.03.2016 01:06:25] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Leave me alone.

[10.03.2016 01:06:26] Joshua.Hunt: Already went there.
[10.03.2016 01:06:33] "The-Zealous": Zeal: I don't want anything to do with you.

[10.03.2016 01:06:42] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Ahhh~ LALALALALALALALA!
[10.03.2016 01:06:43] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Why did you follow?
[10.03.2016 01:06:53] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Now come on - let's be reasonable.

[10.03.2016 01:07:09] Joshua.Hunt: You can talk to her, I've got no involvement in this to be honest.
[10.03.2016 01:07:12] "The-Zealous": Zeal: *She smashes a certain button.* C'mon....

[10.03.2016 01:07:17] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: I didn't even want you to follow.
[10.03.2016 01:07:22] Joshua.Hunt: Well, I could leave.
[10.03.2016 01:07:38] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: That's entirely your choice - but what has happened - has happened.
[10.03.2016 01:08:06] "The-Zealous": Zeal: That would be most appreciated.
[10.03.2016 01:08:45] Joshua.Hunt: Well, I'm certain Amy is sick of being prodded anyways. We'll talk later, Saph.
[10.03.2016 01:08:48] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: I'm more curious of your alignment to Humanity itself.
[10.03.2016 01:09:00] "The-Zealous": Zeal: I screw one of them.
[10.03.2016 01:09:00] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Geoff's or yours, really.
[10.03.2016 01:09:03] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Oh.
[10.03.2016 01:09:04] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Uh.
[10.03.2016 01:09:05] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Is that enough?
[10.03.2016 01:09:06] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: ...okay.
[10.03.2016 01:09:11] Joshua.Hunt: Welp.
[10.03.2016 01:09:12] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: I mean.
[10.03.2016 01:09:16] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: You could screw something.
[10.03.2016 01:09:17] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: And hate it.

[10.03.2016 01:09:29] Joshua.Hunt: Now I kind of want to stay and listen to this.
[10.03.2016 01:09:30] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Now, wheres the love in that...
[10.03.2016 01:09:38] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Upon personality?
[10.03.2016 01:09:39] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Uh.
[10.03.2016 01:09:41] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Alignment with Humanity...
[10.03.2016 01:09:46] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Good question...
[10.03.2016 01:09:49] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: As a whole - not with an individual

[10.03.2016 01:09:49] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Is there one?
[10.03.2016 01:10:22] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Humans... Ahh~ Both attract and make me appreciative.
[10.03.2016 01:10:30] "The-Zealous": Zeal: But they also make me feel disgusted.
[10.03.2016 01:10:44] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: What disgusts you about them?
[10.03.2016 01:10:50] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Personally, I'd say the Corsairs.
[10.03.2016 01:11:04] "The-Zealous": Zeal: We got a long list.
[10.03.2016 01:11:26] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Oh.
[10.03.2016 01:11:28] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Well then.
[10.03.2016 01:11:46] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Order and Genocidal acts still list at the top.
[10.03.2016 01:11:50] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Mhm.
[10.03.2016 01:11:54] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Especially the Order.
[10.03.2016 01:12:00] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: But - what about sacrifice?

[10.03.2016 01:12:25] "The-Zealous": Zeal: I think resiliance is one that i appreciate.

[10.03.2016 01:12:40] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Especially without the use of Cybernetic augmentation.

[10.03.2016 01:13:52] Joshua.Hunt: You're safe.

[10.03.2016 01:14:26] "The-Zealous": Zeal: *Rapidly presses a particular button* C'mon...
[10.03.2016 01:14:33] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Hum.
[10.03.2016 01:14:38] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: You appear to be panicked, hm?
[10.03.2016 01:14:59] Joshua.Hunt: I hope they're not making you too uncomfortable.

[10.03.2016 01:15:10] "The-Zealous": Zeal: Its not them...

[10.03.2016 01:15:49] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: It's us.
[10.03.2016 01:15:52] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: Inevitably so.

[10.03.2016 01:15:53] "The-Zealous": Zeal: /Sub reactor fuel is insuffic-/ What do you meeeeaaa~n.

[10.03.2016 01:15:54] A/)-Bird.Of.Passage: We shouldn't idle.
[10.03.2016 01:15:59] Joshua.Hunt: 'Course.

[10.03.2016 01:16:36] Joshua.Hunt: See you around, Zeal.

Might need to go check out Rheinland if he really went there, maybe to check if he's trying to justify himself with the Director, or perhaps even to secure himself with links in Rheinland. Who knows? We'll see soon enough.
