Got several things to report. First thing is my continued search for the access codes to the Core facilities in Rho have elluded me. I even asked a Core captain for the codes, but more on that later. Ashlyn Gearing has provided me with the ship that will use to steal the ship and hardware. Its codename is the Queen of Hearts. A starflier. The idea is that we steal the ship for Ashlyn and that we take several crates of APM hardware for the GC.
Now about my second mission. The ultimate brew of Shigeakiki. So far I completed several stages.
In the first one I headed to Liberty and traded in several bags of Kyushu rice for Liberty Ale. A friendly trader conducted the transfer with me while everyone else was fighting around me. I went back home.
So then a few days later, this Core vessel showed up. It was loaded with Azurite gas. Now I remembered Kotomi-san making chrystal shigeakiki. So I had an idea. I would make an even more awsome brew. I know it will likely kill people, so we should gift it to the Sisterhood of Light. Light, shiny shige, get it? Maybe it will make them glow a little.
This was also the same person I asked the Core base access codes from. He didn't want to. Oh well, no loss in trying right? Here are the logs of that encounter.
[18.11.2021 21:25:34] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: konnichiwa
[18.11.2021 21:25:54] Azure.Dragon: Kanbanwa Misaki San
[18.11.2021 21:26:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Azurite gas?
[18.11.2021 21:26:10] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: dont see that often
[18.11.2021 21:26:10] Azure.Dragon: This is the Azure Dragon with APM
[18.11.2021 21:26:26] Azure.Dragon: Aye, Gas it is
[18.11.2021 21:26:31] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Kotomi san puts that in Shige
[18.11.2021 21:26:39] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: That is a drink
[18.11.2021 21:26:46] Azure.Dragon: Is it?
[18.11.2021 21:26:53] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Shige is yes
[18.11.2021 21:26:59] Azure.Dragon: Well that does not sound healthy
[18.11.2021 21:27:02] Azure.Dragon: at all
[18.11.2021 21:27:14] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I dont think its for human consumption
[18.11.2021 21:27:15] Azure.Dragon: I've seen this burn nasty holes
[18.11.2021 21:27:29] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: But we call it crystal shige
[18.11.2021 21:27:56] Azure.Dragon: Well, curious things people enjoy
[18.11.2021 21:27:59] Azure.Dragon: I guess
[18.11.2021 21:28:12] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I should ask here what its for
[18.11.2021 21:28:18] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Maybe engine fuel
[18.11.2021 21:28:33] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Or throwing it at people
[18.11.2021 21:28:34] Azure.Dragon: Oh, that I really would not know
[18.11.2021 21:28:47] Azure.Dragon: We're but simple sailors
[18.11.2021 21:28:54] Azure.Dragon: Hauling goods from here to there
[18.11.2021 21:29:03] Azure.Dragon: Wherever the contract takes us
[18.11.2021 21:29:29] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Would you mind trading 50 H-fuel for some of that gas? I might want to see what crystal shige is for?
[18.11.2021 21:29:49] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Also. Can I have the access codes to the Core shipyard in Rho?
[18.11.2021 21:30:01] Azure.Dragon: Hm... I'm not sure I should mess with the manifest
[18.11.2021 21:30:07] Azure.Dragon: oh my lady
[18.11.2021 21:30:15] Azure.Dragon: that is precious
[18.11.2021 21:30:24] Azure.Dragon: As said, we are but sailors
[18.11.2021 21:30:28] Azure.Dragon: not senior staff
[18.11.2021 21:30:36] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Oh well, was worth a try
[18.11.2021 21:30:40] Azure.Dragon: For codes of any kind please refer to the Guild
[18.11.2021 21:31:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Oh well
[18.11.2021 21:31:15] Azure.Dragon: Anyhow, is there anything else I can do for you?
[18.11.2021 21:31:33] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Well yea. 10 cans of azurite gas
[18.11.2021 21:31:43] Azure.Dragon: hm... let me see
[18.11.2021 21:31:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Cause I want to see that crystal shige
[18.11.2021 21:31:53] Azure.Dragon: I think I can mess with the manifest a wee bit
[18.11.2021 21:32:46] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Thank you
[18.11.2021 21:32:47] Azure.Dragon: There you go
[18.11.2021 21:32:58] Azure.Dragon: Enjoy
[18.11.2021 21:33:01] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Sorry for the trouble
[18.11.2021 21:33:05] Azure.Dragon: But please be careful
[18.11.2021 21:33:06] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: And safe flights
[18.11.2021 21:33:11] Azure.Dragon: That stuff is nasty
[18.11.2021 21:33:22] Azure.Dragon: Thank you
[18.11.2021 21:33:37] Azure.Dragon: Mata kondo Misaki San!
So anyway. I had 10 vials of azurite gas, 30 bottles of Liberty ale. More than enough for the ultimate prank right? Wrong! I also found an actual TAZ in the Taus to make this even more beautiful. He had all kinds of random elixers. So I talked to him about mixing Liberty ale and azurite gas with some of them elixers and he wanted to try that too. So I traded 2 vials of Azurite gas and 2 bottle of Liberty ale for 5 vials of those elixers. Neither of us had any clue whats in them, so I just requested a couple that looked fancy. Also here the logs of that.
[18.11.2021 22:05:32] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Konnichiwa TAZ
[18.11.2021 22:05:35] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Kallisti!
[18.11.2021 22:05:36] GC-Furutani.Izanami: Ok, I'm heading to Alpha to get the bomber and make another char for VHF
[18.11.2021 22:05:55] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Any issue with me heading out to Gallic space?
[18.11.2021 22:06:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Should I?
[18.11.2021 22:06:17] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Dunno, y'all are a mysterious bunch in my book
[18.11.2021 22:06:28] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Nah I dont care
[18.11.2021 22:06:39] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Capital!
[18.11.2021 22:06:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I just wanted to see what you carried
[18.11.2021 22:06:56] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Take a look!
[18.11.2021 22:06:56] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: What are those elixers?
[18.11.2021 22:07:17] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Assorted mixers, tonics, poultices, syrups, etc etc
[18.11.2021 22:07:28] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Mix them in and you can turn anything into a cocktail!
[18.11.2021 22:07:32] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: So basicly the contents are random?
[18.11.2021 22:07:34] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: ...and I mean *anything*
[18.11.2021 22:07:53] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: In general, the fancier the bottle, the tastier the brew, but that's just a rule of thumb
[18.11.2021 22:08:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: hmmm
[18.11.2021 22:08:16] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I got an idea
[18.11.2021 22:08:28] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Oooooooh a headache with pictures!
[18.11.2021 22:08:30] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: I like those
[18.11.2021 22:08:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Mix one of those bottles with liberty ale and azurite gas
[18.11.2021 22:09:18] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Hmm, a carbonated cocktail, always was a fan of the bubly drinks
[18.11.2021 22:09:41] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Sadly I am low on 2/3 of those ingredients
[18.11.2021 22:09:44] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Here
[18.11.2021 22:10:10] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: You got no room
[18.11.2021 22:10:23] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: This is true, moving quite a bit of cargo out to the gallic faithful
[18.11.2021 22:10:35] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: How about this. I give you 2 of either and you give me 5 elixers of random content
[18.11.2021 22:10:54] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: I like this trade, keeps everything nicely balanced in terms of 5
[18.11.2021 22:11:00] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Cause I doubt you know whats in them anyway
[18.11.2021 22:11:09] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Or do you?
[18.11.2021 22:11:13] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: We're not a group that's big on reading labels
[18.11.2021 22:11:17] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: or reading
[18.11.2021 22:11:39] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: At least give me fancy bottles
[18.11.2021 22:11:50] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: We take LD-50's as a personal challenge
[18.11.2021 22:11:56] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Fancy bottles it is!
[18.11.2021 22:11:57] 2021-11-18 22:11:55 SMT
[18.11.2021 22:11:57] Death: Lippe was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[18.11.2021 22:11:59] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: LD-50?
[18.11.2021 22:12:07] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Leathal Dose - 50%
[18.11.2021 22:12:23] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: The ammount of exposure that is expected to result in death in 50% of the population
[18.11.2021 22:12:30] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Ah
[18.11.2021 22:12:46] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: A good dividing line between "amateur" and "semi professional" where such things are concerned
[18.11.2021 22:13:16] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: So we got a deal?
[18.11.2021 22:13:18] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Don't know if they knew that when they named the uranium mine in Leeds, bit of a sick joke if so
[18.11.2021 22:13:30] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Most certainly! Do you have a corkscrew?
[18.11.2021 22:13:38] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: It will affect which ones I send over
[18.11.2021 22:13:46] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: How so?
[18.11.2021 22:13:46] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: The twist tops are easier, but nothing worthwhile is easy!
[18.11.2021 22:14:00] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Plus, corks are fun
[18.11.2021 22:14:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Ill manage
[18.11.2021 22:14:08] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: All sorts of shennanigans you can get up to with a cork
[18.11.2021 22:14:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Nice doing business
[18.11.2021 22:14:52] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: So what is this azurite stuff? Asie from being blue
[18.11.2021 22:14:58] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: No idea
[18.11.2021 22:15:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: A core transport had it
[18.11.2021 22:15:08] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: An adventure all around then, sounds like fun
[18.11.2021 22:15:13] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: So I asked for some
[18.11.2021 22:15:21] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Its a blue gas
[18.11.2021 22:15:35] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: If it's a gas, then it sounds likea good time
[18.11.2021 22:15:49] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Could be LD-50
[18.11.2021 22:16:25] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: Might be
[18.11.2021 22:16:44] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Anyway. Safe travels
[18.11.2021 22:16:58] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: You too!
[18.11.2021 22:17:00] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hope Eris likes the little prank
[18.11.2021 22:17:03] [TAZ]Jonathan.Seabourne: But not TOO safe!
So now I got 28 bottles of Liberty ale, 5 Elixers, 8 Azurite gas. This while starting with 50 bags of rice. Should be fun to see what would happen if we mix that all with Shigeakiki. I suggest we let Shiraishi work with it. Sadly I still lack the access codes.
