Sender: Director Victor Steiner To: SIS Control
This is a record of events that took place on the 29th of August in the systems of Baffin, Coronado and Newcastle. It concerns members of the SIS, Auxesia, Nomads and Kusari intelligence. Henceforth this record is sealed and is not to be shared, copied or otherwise interfered with.
Following on from events in Kusari where an impromptu meeting with members of the KNI took place in the Kyushu system and from events that took place in Edinburgh with Agent Skirka I decided to launch an investigation into these seemingly related matters. The obvious threat that Auxesia and certain members of that organization present was the reasoning for this investigation, however events have now quickly spiraled out of control and taken a far larger frame of reference than I previously thought possible.
While agent Skirka continues his own investigation into the Oracle known as Israfel my own investigation has led me to the individual known as 'Revenant', formerly known as 'Sapphire Raven'. This comes as an unclear and frankly unwelcomed connection between her and our own operative 'Caliban' has become increasingly apparent. Accusations made by both individuals contradict one another on a number of levels, but there many similarities in their stories. More disturbingly, there is now cause to doubt the reliability of Caliban as well as his loyalty to the Crown, his state of mind, his past (which he himself claims to not remember) and his intentions toward Sunderland and the Nomad City. These factors leave not just the Service in a precarious position, but also my own position as Director.
Yesterday, for reasons I am still unaware of, I was contacted by Sapphire Raven and asked to meet her alone in the Baffin system to get some much needed information concerning these recent events. Her conversation was many things, but enlightening is not the first word that comes to mind. It would appear there is a personal connection between her and Caliban, although to my knowledge he has never denied this, she has also decided to wage a one woman crusade against what she describes as 'sentinels'. A more powerful variation of nomad that was discovered somewhere in the edge worlds. She also claims to have knowledge of various 'anomalies' that serve as doorways to these creatures. The conversation is attached below, it offers a better explanation that I could.
In regards to Caliban, his insistence on being posted to Sunderland, his knowledge of these creatures and his unclear background are grounds enough for me to consider him compromised, yet the accusations leveled at him are the same he leveled at Raven and Auxesia and while his ability to act within our mandate is now being called into question, the reality of this sorry state of affairs is we do not know any better about Raven. We are being forced to take words of faith from individuals who are at best mentally unwell and at worst, insane. Furthermore neither have any references we judge to be reliable and we have no knowledge as to whether either of them are infected at all. There will no doubt be questions about why he was allowed to enter into the employ of the SIS in the first place. The reasoning was simple, he believed he was capable of removing the Nomad City from Bretonia. There was reason enough for me to believe that he could do it at the time and considering how long that city has plagued our house, I believed it to be worth the risk. I have yet to make up my mind with any degree of certainty and a meeting between my deputy Directors will take place later this afternoon to make a verdict. Thus far I do not believe the city to be compromised in any way, the security teams on Sunderland report nothing out of the ordinary.
Finally we have been contacted by one 'Alice Dee' an agent of the Overseer branch of the BIS. Nothing is known about this individual yet save that they have also been operating within Kusari and have an unusual interest in our activities. Agents are strongly advised to be wary about the Overseers as there is every likelihood they may try to sell our operations out.
[29.08.2022 15:39:40] [SIS]-V.Steiner: What's happening
[29.08.2022 15:40:01] Caliban: I planted a seed. Raven will be searched for infection by one of her close friends.
[29.08.2022 15:40:13] Caliban: Because, she is.
[29.08.2022 15:40:35] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Righto...you trust this plant of yours?
[29.08.2022 15:41:18] Caliban: I barely have any trust in anyone.
[29.08.2022 15:41:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Good to know.
[29.08.2022 15:41:31] Caliban: By the way. Raven was seen in this system. Headed to Baffin.
[29.08.2022 15:41:50] [SIS]-V.Steiner: hmm
[29.08.2022 15:42:19] [SIS]-V.Steiner: That's my doing.
[29.08.2022 15:42:34] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Need you on stand by, you game?
[29.08.2022 15:44:31] A/)-Revenant: // sec
[29.08.2022 15:45:11] Caliban: Same system?
[29.08.2022 15:45:21] Caliban: Otherwise I am in close proximity to the entrance.
[29.08.2022 15:45:27] [SIS]-V.Steiner: No. Remain in 29
[29.08.2022 15:45:36] Caliban: Roger that. Keep me posted on what happens.
[29.08.2022 15:45:44] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Also, keep an eye out for some bird called Alice Dee
[29.08.2022 15:45:50] Caliban: What for?
[29.08.2022 15:45:52] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Apparently we're being 'overseen' now.
[29.08.2022 15:46:16] [SIS]-V.Steiner: On who's authority I do not know.
[29.08.2022 15:46:33] Tip: In order to mine ore you must have the right combination of: 1) The ship, 2) The ID, 3) The IFF, 4) Mining Lasers/Turrets. For a full list of all of these combinations as well as which factions get bonuses for what ores - please visit our forums @DiscoveryGC.com
[29.08.2022 15:48:21] Caliban: Just give me the bounty on her and she'll be gone before you know it.
[29.08.2022 15:48:32] Caliban: She doesn't even have to know.
[29.08.2022 15:48:39] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I'll keep you in the loop on that one..
[29.08.2022 15:49:01] [SIS]-V.Steiner: But for now, I may have gotten the wrong idea. Time will tell.
[29.08.2022 15:50:09] Caliban: If she starts having fun ideas give me a holler.
[29.08.2022 15:50:19] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Roger that.
[29.08.2022 15:50:37] [SIS]-V.Steiner: So. As you wanted Raven. Alone.
[29.08.2022 15:50:41] A/)-Revenant: And this is unrecorded?
[29.08.2022 15:51:04] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Off the books you mean?
[29.08.2022 15:51:07] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes.
[29.08.2022 15:51:08] A/)-Revenant: This has to stay between us.
[29.08.2022 15:51:19] A/)-Revenant: Why do I have a feeling you're going to be sharing this with Caliban...
[29.08.2022 15:51:45] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You have tapped into a family connection I did not think you had.
[29.08.2022 15:51:51] [SIS]-V.Steiner: This is off the books.
[29.08.2022 15:52:06] A/)-Revenant: And it seems that you're still interested in me, hm?
[29.08.2022 15:52:20] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Bloody Alfred.
[29.08.2022 15:52:30] A/)-Revenant: I'm not going to mock you.
[29.08.2022 15:52:37] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You don't need to.
[29.08.2022 15:52:38] A/)-Revenant: I understand it entirely.
[29.08.2022 15:52:57] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I'm going to kill him.
[29.08.2022 15:53:22] A/)-Revenant: Why?
[29.08.2022 15:53:59] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You did not drag me here to appeal to *That* side of mankind
[29.08.2022 15:54:04] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I assume.
[29.08.2022 15:54:13] A/)-Revenant: Don't know why you call it like so.
[29.08.2022 15:54:21] A/)-Revenant: I'm going to go off a hunch,
[29.08.2022 15:54:29] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Go on.
[29.08.2022 15:54:36] A/)-Revenant: Caliban rattled on about the Sentinels. And about how I am supposedly compromised, yes?
[29.08.2022 15:54:55] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Perhaps.
[29.08.2022 15:54:56] A/)-Revenant: Or did he not specify why he was interested in the Newcastle city?
[29.08.2022 15:55:05] A/)-Revenant: I may as well enlighten you to the full picture.
[29.08.2022 15:55:19] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Please do.
[29.08.2022 15:55:55] A/)-Revenant: Before all of this begun, back when Caliban was known as Vincent Abrams. He came across an Kavash site.
[29.08.2022 15:56:07] A/)-Revenant: This is going to take a while to explain, apologies, so -
[29.08.2022 15:56:13] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Take your time.
[29.08.2022 15:56:44] Death: Xupa_Misto was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.08.2022 15:57:48] A/)-Revenant: During such incursion, he inadvertently awoken some brood of Nomads, that of which are called Sentinels.
[29.08.2022 15:58:05] A/)-Revenant: Like Nomads, they also guard old relics and sites.
[29.08.2022 15:58:55] A/)-Revenant: Once he had disturbed him, they marked him with a memetic trace. And, of course, he brought some Order into it. Who...
[29.08.2022 15:59:02] A/)-Revenant: disturbed it even further with their prodding.
[29.08.2022 15:59:09] A/)-Revenant: Careless prodding, might I add.
[29.08.2022 15:59:31] A/)-Revenant: So, these Sentinels, target those who have imnformation. Memory. Knowledge.
[29.08.2022 15:59:52] A/)-Revenant: They are highly advanced creatures, far more dangerous than the Nomads. They self replicate at a rapid pace.
[29.08.2022 16:00:36] A/)-Revenant: Switching to secure comms, in case.
[29.08.2022 16:00:36] A/)-Revenant: Anyhow.
[29.08.2022 16:00:54] A/)-Revenant: The Order attempted to assume control of studies and operations, attempting to kill anyone else involved with the site.
[29.08.2022 16:01:01] Caliban: // Bar RP, I take?
[29.08.2022 16:01:28] A/)-Revenant: Unfortunately, Vincent - who you know as Ego or Caliban - had somehow made a bond with the site.
[29.08.2022 16:01:35] [SIS]-V.Steiner: //Yes but also a stray KNF
[29.08.2022 16:01:51] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels are allured to him, presumably because he was the first intruder.
[29.08.2022 16:02:05] A/)-Revenant: Now, the Order, tried to knock everyone out of the studies, tried to kill me.
[29.08.2022 16:02:07] A/)-Revenant: Tried to kill him.
[29.08.2022 16:02:13] A/)-Revenant: And that's when he began to broke down.
[29.08.2022 16:02:29] A/)-Revenant: You'll notice that Caliban will be highly defensive about being called Vincent Abrams. And that he will be defensive
[29.08.2022 16:02:34] A/)-Revenant: about being scanned or studied.
[29.08.2022 16:03:09] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels utilise anomalies, they even create their own breaches.
[29.08.2022 16:03:16] A/)-Revenant: That has been what I have been studying.
[29.08.2022 16:03:23] A/)-Revenant: I have been trying to find their central hive to neutralise them.
[29.08.2022 16:03:29] A/)-Revenant: Because of the disturbances, they have been awakening.
[29.08.2022 16:03:36] A/)-Revenant: And more and more people have become curious.
[29.08.2022 16:03:46] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Like me.
[29.08.2022 16:03:47] A/)-Revenant: Meaning. More targets. And more targets for the guardians to cleanse.
[29.08.2022 16:03:49] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[29.08.2022 16:04:01] A/)-Revenant: You're in Kusari. You're trying to find out what I'm doing.
[29.08.2022 16:04:18] A/)-Revenant: Caliban was my ally, my... close... friend... before his mind begun to break down from the assassination attempt.
[29.08.2022 16:04:23] A/)-Revenant: Now he will do anything to thwart my efforts.
[29.08.2022 16:04:44] A/)-Revenant: What I am doing here, is to establish preventation measures.
[29.08.2022 16:04:51] Caliban: Royalists in Tau-29.
[29.08.2022 16:04:54] A/)-Revenant: To stop them from causing more damage. To keep watch on their movements.
[29.08.2022 16:05:16] A/)-Revenant: Recall how I said they were self replicating?
[29.08.2022 16:05:23] A/)-Revenant: There will be more incoming. Possibly millions.
[29.08.2022 16:05:31] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Terminate them. Unless they have something usefull to say for once.
[29.08.2022 16:05:53] A/)-Revenant: If the sites believe they are endangered, most of these guards will come and awaken.
[29.08.2022 16:05:55] A/)-Revenant: Now...
[29.08.2022 16:05:59] A/)-Revenant: They are not confined to Kepler.
[29.08.2022 16:06:06] A/)-Revenant: I will be clear as day with you.
[29.08.2022 16:06:24] A/)-Revenant: Yes, I have been trying to find psychics to work with them. Because they are the key to locating them. But I do not condone
[29.08.2022 16:06:51] Tip: Accidentally mounted the wrong ID and ruined your repsheet? Planing on repurposing an old ship for a different faction? You can use the /resetrep command to reset to a blank repsheet. This costs 10 millions per use.
[29.08.2022 16:06:52] Caliban: I might have to head out for you, then.
[29.08.2022 16:06:54] A/)-Revenant: Humanity being extinct.
[29.08.2022 16:07:21] 27th|Clement.de.Chevin: Here we meet again. Unfortunately or not, this time without the person you knew.
[29.08.2022 16:07:21] A/)-Revenant: One of the psychic persons I had found, had an... overload near the Newcastle system, within Coronado.
[29.08.2022 16:07:25] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Never mind they are here. Along with the KNF. I'll handle it.
[29.08.2022 16:07:25] Caliban: ...fuck it. I'm coming. Are you safe right now?
[29.08.2022 16:07:29] [KNF]Teisatsu-71: [::: This unit detects neutral entities :: Initiating: Greeting protocol :: "Good day." :::]
[29.08.2022 16:07:39] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Perfectly.
[29.08.2022 16:07:46] A/)-Revenant: They mentioned they heard them all there.
[29.08.2022 16:07:48] Caliban: The KNF, too? Fucking great.
[29.08.2022 16:07:56] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I don't mean to intterupt
[29.08.2022 16:07:57] A/)-Revenant: Coronado... was another major site of incursion.
[29.08.2022 16:08:00] A/)-Revenant: Yes, Royalists.
[29.08.2022 16:08:01] A/)-Revenant: I noticed.
[29.08.2022 16:08:07] [SIS]-V.Steiner: But it would be best if we move this conversation elsewhere.
[29.08.2022 16:08:10] [SIS]-V.Steiner: He is coming.
[29.08.2022 16:08:12] A/)-Revenant: I don't know they know, but, I suspect we may ... go... hide.
[29.08.2022 16:08:15] 27th|Andre.Davrois: Bonsoir. Are we interrupting anything?
[29.08.2022 16:08:16] Caliban: And you're sure you don't want me there.
[29.08.2022 16:08:30] A/)-Revenant: Shall we take it station side?
[29.08.2022 16:08:33] A/)-Revenant: I have some tea.
[29.08.2022 16:08:37] [SIS]-V.Steiner: They've seen too much. You may as well kill them.
[29.08.2022 16:08:46] [SIS]-V.Steiner: After you
[29.08.2022 16:08:49] 27th|Clement.de.Chevin: Two birds are silent. Fallen asleep? Doesn't seem so.
[29.08.2022 16:08:49] Caliban: Coming.
[29.08.2022 16:09:01] 27th|Andre.Davrois: Hard to tell what is going on.
[29.08.2022 16:09:02] A/)-Revenant: What?
[29.08.2022 16:09:09] [KNF]Teisatsu-71: [::: Unit detects Gallic vessels : Re-routing :::]
[29.08.2022 16:09:11] A/)-Revenant: I'm waiting for someone to come.
[29.08.2022 16:09:20] 27th|Andre.Davrois: Usually the bretonian services would be the first to scream in agony.
[29.08.2022 16:09:23] Caliban: Location?
[29.08.2022 16:09:37] A/)-Revenant: Although I cannot stand the presence of an undesirable any longer, so I shall depart.
[29.08.2022 16:09:38] 2022-08-29 16:09:37 SMT Traffic control alert: A/)-Revenant has requested to dock
[29.08.2022 16:09:39] A/)-Revenant: Sorry,
[29.08.2022 16:09:39] [SIS]-V.Steiner: The skyhook
[29.08.2022 16:09:41] 27th|Clement.de.Chevin: Just a clumsy Crusader Shouldn't be an issue.
[29.08.2022 16:09:42] 2022-08-29 16:09:41 SMT Traffic control alert: [SIS]-V.Steiner has requested to dock
[29.08.2022 16:09:42] A/)-Revenant: I did not mean that.
[29.08.2022 16:09:48] 27th|Clement.de.Chevin: Let's go.
[29.08.2022 16:09:52] Caliban: Great...amazing. How is the situation there so far?
[29.08.2022 16:10:08] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Exchanging friendly insults.
[29.08.2022 16:10:21] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Hm.
[29.08.2022 16:10:26] Caliban: Alright. I'll see if I can get the KNF to hire me. An alibi, per se.
[29.08.2022 16:10:38] [SIS]-V.Steiner: And now there is an oracle mixed up with all of this.
[29.08.2022 16:11:26] A/)-Revenant: I know of Israfel.
[29.08.2022 16:12:05] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You know we have him then
[29.08.2022 16:12:18] A/)-Revenant: [She was within the bar, having ordered two teas, having paid for it already. Donning a high class outfit, she had a
[29.08.2022 16:12:19] Death: [KNF]Teisatsu-71 suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[29.08.2022 16:12:35] A/)-Revenant: burgundy longcoat on, and a white blouse underneath. Though it seemed a little ruffled, as if armor was concealed. ]
[29.08.2022 16:12:42] A/)-Revenant: [Taking a sip from the cup] Mhm.
[29.08.2022 16:12:45] Caliban: Can't quite blast them without an alibi. A contract or anything.
[29.08.2022 16:13:00] Caliban: Alas, now they're sitting around the Skyhook.
[29.08.2022 16:13:08] [SIS]-V.Steiner: 10 Million for them dead.
[29.08.2022 16:13:22] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Skirka arrested him three days ago.
[29.08.2022 16:13:34] A/)-Revenant: So, the areas I've pinpointed that may be in immediate danger... Possibly the borders of Bretonia-Taus,
[29.08.2022 16:13:53] A/)-Revenant: Kusari-Liberty borders for sure. And possibly Rheinland. Though, there may be an incursion point near the Gallic
[29.08.2022 16:14:02] A/)-Revenant: border. I have yet to confirm if anomaly breaches have happened there.
[29.08.2022 16:14:09] A/)-Revenant: But if I were to guess, it would happen in Zurich.
[29.08.2022 16:14:19] A/)-Revenant: Rheinland's border also has another one of these points.
[29.08.2022 16:14:19] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Do you have a time frame?
[29.08.2022 16:14:43] A/)-Revenant: [Slowly taking a sip from the cup, thinking]
[29.08.2022 16:14:57] A/)-Revenant: There were some incidents where I was not able to record but understood through word of mouth. It begun spiking up
[29.08.2022 16:15:02] A/)-Revenant: in January, or last October.
[29.08.2022 16:15:16] A/)-Revenant: The thing about that psychic... The overload?
[29.08.2022 16:15:27] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes?
[29.08.2022 16:15:31] A/)-Revenant: They felt the presence of millions of Sentinels near Coronado.
[29.08.2022 16:15:53] A/)-Revenant: And I believe Caliban wants to try and forcefully open up a breach.
[29.08.2022 16:16:02] A/)-Revenant: Sadly, he is aware of the one that is within Inverness too.
[29.08.2022 16:16:17] [SIS]-V.Steiner: What would be his interest in doing so? What does he gain?
[29.08.2022 16:16:44] A/)-Revenant: He's simply a mad man - [pausing to take a sip] He is driven by revenge. He does not care if the world burns around him.
[29.08.2022 16:16:51] A/)-Revenant: He has self admitted that he has lost all hope.
[29.08.2022 16:17:03] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Revenge...
[29.08.2022 16:17:18] [SIS]-V.Steiner: A lover scorned Raven?
[29.08.2022 16:17:27] A/)-Revenant: Against me, supposedly. Or, Humanity, as a whole. He dislikes the scum, the lying, the betrayal.
[29.08.2022 16:17:31] A/)-Revenant: His paranoia has consumed him.
[29.08.2022 16:17:49] A/)-Revenant: I have doubts of him holding any feelings for me, he was more than happy to execute me.
[29.08.2022 16:17:56] A/)-Revenant: Very curious as to why he did not when I was held.
[29.08.2022 16:18:22] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Hm. I may ask him.
[29.08.2022 16:18:37] A/)-Revenant: Now, Bretonia, the Order, and Crayter hates my guts, so it is out of the question that I can approach to warn them
[29.08.2022 16:18:40] A/)-Revenant: of the danger
[29.08.2022 16:18:49] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Bretonia hates you because politics.
[29.08.2022 16:18:54] [SIS]-V.Steiner: That's all.
[29.08.2022 16:19:22] A/)-Revenant: I have already made a plea to the Order about the rising dangers of the 'brood' - yet they were more concerned
[29.08.2022 16:19:27] A/)-Revenant: about the presence of Nomads in Minor.
[29.08.2022 16:19:47] A/)-Revenant: Politics... but... What so?
[29.08.2022 16:20:06] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You're spread thin Raven. You don't have the people to help you fight this and a dozen angry groups
[29.08.2022 16:20:16] A/)-Revenant: What did I even do to get this anger?
[29.08.2022 16:20:19] A/)-Revenant: Is this envy?
[29.08.2022 16:20:44] [SIS]-V.Steiner: No. This is fear and mistrust played out on a grand scale and inflicted upon one person
[29.08.2022 16:20:51] [SIS]-V.Steiner: The one person they believe most dangerous
[29.08.2022 16:20:59] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I'd take it as a compliment of sorts really
[29.08.2022 16:21:16] A/)-Revenant: I have been thoroughly entertained.
[29.08.2022 16:21:27] A/)-Revenant: But, it's a push when my family are placed immediately in danger.
[29.08.2022 16:21:43] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I didn't know you had a family..
[29.08.2022 16:22:06] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Hm
[29.08.2022 16:22:15] A/)-Revenant: You knew I was close with Leviathan.
[29.08.2022 16:22:40] A/)-Revenant: [She raised the cup, stoically taking a sip of the tea]
[29.08.2022 16:22:51] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I don't pry into that.
[29.08.2022 16:23:04] [SIS]-V.Steiner: But yes. I was aware of your...relationship
[29.08.2022 16:23:09] [SIS]-V.Steiner: At least a little.
[29.08.2022 16:23:22] A/)-Revenant: Mm...
[29.08.2022 16:23:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: How is master Leviathan?
[29.08.2022 16:23:55] A/)-Revenant: [She dryly glared ahead. ]
[29.08.2022 16:23:56] A/)-Revenant: Dead.
[29.08.2022 16:24:07] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Jesus Christ Raven.
[29.08.2022 16:24:34] [SIS]-V.Steiner: How?
[29.08.2022 16:24:49] A/)-Revenant: I can't quite recall, but I do recall his mind gradually breaking down from the stress, falling into psychosis.
[29.08.2022 16:25:18] A/)-Revenant: He did go on a research expedition, and he... just lost it. They were on the edge of the sector.
[29.08.2022 16:25:32] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Madness seems to be a common affliction for those who get close to you.
[29.08.2022 16:25:37] A/)-Revenant: I should have stopped him from going, but they reckoned that it was inevitable medically.
[29.08.2022 16:26:12] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I am sorry.
[29.08.2022 16:26:49] [SIS]-V.Steiner: How long ago, if I may ask?

[29.08.2022 16:27:12] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps a year ago? More than that? I only just recently found out two months ago.
[29.08.2022 16:27:22] Death: Lost_Wanderer was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.08.2022 16:27:28] A/)-Revenant: [Closing her head, she inhaled, trying to keep her posture, exhaling calmly]

[29.08.2022 16:28:01] [SIS]-V.Steiner: So here you are.
[29.08.2022 16:28:15] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Fighting against all odds with...what?
[29.08.2022 16:28:39] A/)-Revenant: [Taking a small sip of the tea once more, she continued]
[29.08.2022 16:28:48] A/)-Revenant: Truthfully, I was expecting you to assassinate me.
[29.08.2022 16:29:04] A/)-Revenant: But, allies or not, the reality is that; we're all in grave danger.
[29.08.2022 16:29:17] A/)-Revenant: I want Humanity to improve, not to die out, Victor.
[29.08.2022 16:30:00] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yet I have Caliban telling me the same thing, you can start to see my trouble.
[29.08.2022 16:30:40] A/)-Revenant: Regarding the Sentinels? Yes, he was besides me the entire time.
[29.08.2022 16:30:45] A/)-Revenant: Until he mentally broke down.
[29.08.2022 16:31:50] [SIS]-V.Steiner: *He sighs, deeply, before pulling out a hip flask*
[29.08.2022 16:32:06] A/)-Revenant: I'm willing to collaborate with others to develop technology to resist their damage and to discover where their central
[29.08.2022 16:32:08] A/)-Revenant: node is located.
[29.08.2022 16:32:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Are you asking me for something Raven?
[29.08.2022 16:32:40] A/)-Revenant: Do you believe me...?
[29.08.2022 16:33:11] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I have four sources all indicating the same thing. I have no empirical evidence to suggest you are lying.
[29.08.2022 16:33:27] [SIS]-V.Steiner: And that pisses me off quite frankly
[29.08.2022 16:33:29] A/)-Revenant: Now the question is whether you believe my intention of trying to prevent damage or not.
[29.08.2022 16:33:42] A/)-Revenant: There is something I wish to learn though. Since... we are going to be neutralising the guards...
[29.08.2022 16:33:46] A/)-Revenant: That leaves the question of'
[29.08.2022 16:33:49] A/)-Revenant: What were they guarding?
[29.08.2022 16:34:10] A/)-Revenant: And how can I prevent Humanity to accessing what they protected?
[29.08.2022 16:34:20] A/)-Revenant: [She took a sip of tea, finishing the cup]
[29.08.2022 16:34:26] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Destroy it
[29.08.2022 16:34:28] A/)-Revenant: // will undock since its safe now
[29.08.2022 16:34:37] A/)-Revenant: I do not think it is possible to destroy. If it is of large scale.
[29.08.2022 16:34:41] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Or bury it and then forget about it.
[29.08.2022 16:34:46] A/)-Revenant: That is what I believe is the best.
[29.08.2022 16:35:00] Alice.Dee: Oh.
[29.08.2022 16:35:09] Alice.Dee: Hello Director. Welcome back to the Taus!
[29.08.2022 16:35:19] Death: Caliban was put out of action by 27th|E-S.De.Belmont. (Gun).
[29.08.2022 16:35:24] Alice.Dee: Fine company you have there.
[29.08.2022 16:35:25] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yeah 'gday
[29.08.2022 16:35:25] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Down you go.
[29.08.2022 16:35:28] A/)-Revenant: [silently chuckles]
[29.08.2022 16:35:43] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Steiner, I'm quite very annoyed.
[29.08.2022 16:35:53] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: You're going down next.
[29.08.2022 16:35:54] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Er...why?
[29.08.2022 16:36:05] A/)-Revenant: I will be attempting to develop a technique to sealing breaches.
[29.08.2022 16:36:09] A/)-Revenant: Do you recall the cult of technology?
[29.08.2022 16:36:14] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes.
[29.08.2022 16:36:20] A/)-Revenant: We've had ties with them before.
[29.08.2022 16:36:28] A/)-Revenant: Managed to establish a means of communication and understanding.
[29.08.2022 16:36:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Actually, would you like to show me what you found on our borders?
[29.08.2022 16:36:37] A/)-Revenant: Sure.
[29.08.2022 16:36:53] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I also don't like the look of those Gauls.
[29.08.2022 16:37:17] A/)-Revenant: I do not either.
[29.08.2022 16:38:02] A/)-Revenant: I can show you the first site.
[29.08.2022 16:38:47] A/)-Revenant: Admittedly, there are few organisations who dabbled in hyperspatial technology.
[29.08.2022 16:39:05] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yours did I take it.
[29.08.2022 16:39:16] A/)-Revenant: But I am hoping our time with the cult has given enough insight to hyperspatial interactivity...
[29.08.2022 16:39:33] A/)-Revenant: There will be a point in time where we must open up a breach ourselves to retrieve a type of synthetic crystal.
[29.08.2022 16:39:51] Ship is out of range
[29.08.2022 16:40:33] A/)-Revenant: From what I have learned from associates, oh; the list of incursions go on quite a lengthy amount.
[29.08.2022 16:40:33] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I should have got a science degree.

[29.08.2022 16:41:35] A/)-Revenant: Alfred spoke to me, offered the help of Cambridge Research uh, participants.
[29.08.2022 16:41:45] A/)-Revenant: Do you know if they have studied the nearby breaches?
[29.08.2022 16:41:46] [SIS]-V.Steiner: For Gods sakes...
[29.08.2022 16:41:54] A/)-Revenant: If I am not... mistaken, there's an anomaly in Omega-3, isn't there?
[29.08.2022 16:42:11] A/)-Revenant: Do you recall how an Observer Nomad appeared there and had established little Nomad outposts?
[29.08.2022 16:42:12] A/)-Revenant: Two of them?
[29.08.2022 16:42:19] [SIS]-V.Steiner: The Bretonian Government has essentially pulled out of Omega-3
[29.08.2022 16:42:25] A/)-Revenant: What - why?
[29.08.2022 16:42:38] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Good question. I cannot answer it.
[29.08.2022 16:42:44] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Happened while I was away.
[29.08.2022 16:42:45] A/)-Revenant: [groans]
[29.08.2022 16:42:55] A/)-Revenant: Leaves the Corsairs opportunity to ravish the area.
[29.08.2022 16:43:10] [SIS]-V.Steiner: preaching to the chior sister
[29.08.2022 16:43:15] A/)-Revenant: You may not have been wrong about their pride being hurt.
[29.08.2022 16:43:22] A/)-Revenant: Or was it Alfred that said that? Who knows. My memory is a mess.
[29.08.2022 16:43:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You need a doctor.
[29.08.2022 16:43:35] A/)-Revenant: I've had several.
[29.08.2022 16:43:43] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You need a psychologist.
[29.08.2022 16:43:47] A/)-Revenant: Also seen that.
[29.08.2022 16:43:52] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You need a friend.
[29.08.2022 16:43:58] A/)-Revenant: There's a reason why I had not gone mad with power.
[29.08.2022 16:44:05] A/)-Revenant: I had one of those until they turned against me.
[29.08.2022 16:44:08] A/)-Revenant: Haha...
[29.08.2022 16:44:11] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Then damn it Raven, you need Jesus
[29.08.2022 16:44:27] A/)-Revenant: Jesus is a Corsair name and they're DEAD.
[29.08.2022 16:44:44] [SIS]-V.Steiner: A sense of humour? I am surprised.
[29.08.2022 16:44:46] A/)-Revenant: You recall the Tau-117 entry way?
[29.08.2022 16:44:56] A/)-Revenant: What - pff - of course I am capable of humorl
[29.08.2022 16:44:58] A/)-Revenant: humor. even.
[29.08.2022 16:45:16] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You're taking me back a bit, but yes. I recall it.
[29.08.2022 16:45:17] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Just
[29.08.2022 16:45:18] A/)-Revenant: Anyhow. Regardless.
[29.08.2022 16:45:40] A/)-Revenant: This gate - obviously - a gateway, holding open a pinpointed breach.
[29.08.2022 16:45:54] A/)-Revenant: When the Order destroyed it, destabilization occurred. As one would expect.
[29.08.2022 16:46:04] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels are highly attuned to hyperspatial disturbances.
[29.08.2022 16:46:21] A/)-Revenant: Site is right ahead of us, but we cannot approach - unless you want to get into danger.
[29.08.2022 16:46:28] A/)-Revenant: Would you like to have a session to bond trust relations over?
[29.08.2022 16:46:46] A/)-Revenant: I'm sure a good old 'hide and seek' game will formalise my claims of their danger.
[29.08.2022 16:46:55] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I've been 'in danger' since I agreed to meet you alone and unarmed.
[29.08.2022 16:46:57] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Lets go.
[29.08.2022 16:47:03] A/)-Revenant: [laughs]

[29.08.2022 16:47:22] A/)-Revenant: The red button is right there...
[29.08.2022 16:47:25] A/)-Revenant: Or was it the green button?
[29.08.2022 16:47:26] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I'm full of surprises.

[29.08.2022 16:48:43] A/)-Revenant: How peculiar. They are usually more proactive.
[29.08.2022 16:49:04] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Maybe they decided to call it a day and knock off?
[29.08.2022 16:49:08] A/)-Revenant: If they're not... around, perhaps I can take the opportunity to take scans.
[29.08.2022 16:49:32] A/)-Revenant: Oh -

[29.08.2022 16:50:16] A/)-Revenant: Fascinating.

[29.08.2022 16:50:30] A/)-Revenant: Don't follow closely in, just incase the breach is actually leaking.
[29.08.2022 16:51:11] A/)-Revenant: You did see them, yes?
[29.08.2022 16:51:25] [SIS]-V.Steiner: To be honest I don't really know what I saw.
[29.08.2022 16:51:32] A/)-Revenant: You saw the signals, at least, yes?
[29.08.2022 16:51:45] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes, they also appeared the other day in Kusari
[29.08.2022 16:51:47] A/)-Revenant: They had disappeared, either indicating they're waiting in ambush, or there may be an anomaly breach.
[29.08.2022 16:51:49] A/)-Revenant: Oh?
[29.08.2022 16:51:52] A/)-Revenant: Behind the Gas Giant?
[29.08.2022 16:51:56] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes.

[29.08.2022 16:52:20] A/)-Revenant: Well, shall I hit the button again to see if we can tease the scar of the breach?
[29.08.2022 16:52:30] A/)-Revenant: It is a rather suicidal move, mind you.
[29.08.2022 16:52:34] Caliban: [A few seconds of static.] - St- Status?
[29.08.2022 16:52:40] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Feeling adventurous?
[29.08.2022 16:52:59] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Box of birds, how are you?
[29.08.2022 16:53:00] A/)-Revenant: [there was a slight chuckle] Perhaps I could indulge you to ground zero, I have yet to see how much it has developed.
[29.08.2022 16:53:07] A/)-Revenant: Though - /that/ - for certain - is suicidal.
[29.08.2022 16:53:17] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Miss Raven, are you asking me on a date?
[29.08.2022 16:53:29] Caliban: Smoking hot. The powerplant is making strange noises and my guns' barrels are overheated.
[29.08.2022 16:53:30] A/)-Revenant: A peculiar doomsday date, don't you think?
[29.08.2022 16:53:38] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Once in a lifetime.
[29.08.2022 16:53:46] A/)-Revenant: Now, I am here to convince you that the Sentinels are a threat... so...
[29.08.2022 16:53:48] Caliban: These Royalists were a pain in the ass to hit.
[29.08.2022 16:53:55] Caliban: // L a g.
[29.08.2022 16:53:56] A/)-Revenant: What better than to dive right into the center of certain doom to prove such?
[29.08.2022 16:54:08] A/)-Revenant: Your choice, if you don't feel convinced enough.
[29.08.2022 16:54:25] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Raven and Steiner charge in to hell. I never thought I'd see the day.
[29.08.2022 16:54:37] A/)-Revenant: Did we not get along during the time of the Gallic war?
[29.08.2022 16:54:44] A/)-Revenant: Before Bretonia turned on us?
[29.08.2022 16:54:47] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Like a house on fire.

[29.08.2022 16:56:01] A/)-Revenant: I thought you would appreciate going to ground zero, but very well.
[29.08.2022 16:56:04] Caliban: A detour. 'Course...why does that sound bad?
[29.08.2022 16:56:06] A/)-Revenant: Allow me to get into optimal position.
[29.08.2022 16:56:26] A/)-Revenant: Ready?
[29.08.2022 16:56:30] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Always.
[29.08.2022 16:56:31] 2022-08-29 16:56:30 SMT WARNING: A hyperspace beacon has been activated by A/)-Revenant
[29.08.2022 16:56:36] A/)-Revenant: Oh, good, my hand slipped anyway.
[29.08.2022 16:56:49] Death: Xupa_Misto was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.08.2022 16:56:57] A/)-Revenant: ...really need to see a physio-therapist about that...
[29.08.2022 16:56:58] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Interesting
[29.08.2022 16:57:00] A/)-Revenant: Oh goodness.
[29.08.2022 16:57:24] A/)-Revenant: Hm, slingers and ... the regular fast ones.
[29.08.2022 16:57:36] A/)-Revenant: I don't think we can beat them, do you wish to try?
[29.08.2022 16:57:43] A/)-Revenant: Too bad!
[29.08.2022 16:58:35] Caliban: Victor?
[29.08.2022 16:58:42] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Shall we be prudent?
[29.08.2022 16:58:46] A/)-Revenant: Hmm?
[29.08.2022 16:59:00] [SIS]-V.Steiner: That was interesting, but where do they come from?
[29.08.2022 16:59:17] A/)-Revenant: They utilize breaches to travel around, but... their home/
[29.08.2022 16:59:18] [SIS]-V.Steiner: We're good.
[29.08.2022 16:59:19] A/)-Revenant: Their central node?
[29.08.2022 16:59:23] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes.
[29.08.2022 16:59:25] A/)-Revenant: Not sure, but I vaguely know where it /may/ be.
[29.08.2022 16:59:44] Caliban: You're still with her?
[29.08.2022 16:59:45] A/)-Revenant: Kepler - is one of the primary entries.
[29.08.2022 16:59:56] A/)-Revenant: At least, that one did land me the closest to where they reside.
[29.08.2022 17:00:03] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes
[29.08.2022 17:00:19] Caliban: Not comforting at all.
[29.08.2022 17:00:35] A/)-Revenant: Jump through, but they're following, be warned.
[29.08.2022 17:01:02] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Damn IMG
[29.08.2022 17:01:14] A/)-Revenant: Oh, they did a number on you.
[29.08.2022 17:01:15] A/)-Revenant: And me.
[29.08.2022 17:01:37] A/)-Revenant: So, convinced now?
[29.08.2022 17:01:37] [SIS]-V.Steiner: So.
[29.08.2022 17:01:47] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Yes and no.
[29.08.2022 17:01:50] A $36.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[29.08.2022 17:01:57] A/)-Revenant: Oh, you think I wish to weaponise them or some such?
[29.08.2022 17:02:04] [SIS]-V.Steiner: No
[29.08.2022 17:02:08] A $30.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[29.08.2022 17:02:15] A/)-Revenant: What more need I do to convince you then?
[29.08.2022 17:02:18] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I am concerned about infection however.
[29.08.2022 17:02:28] A/)-Revenant: As far as I have studied, they cannot infest individuals.
[29.08.2022 17:02:35] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps damage the mind terribly.
[29.08.2022 17:02:44] A/)-Revenant: I pondered if that happened to Caliban.
[29.08.2022 17:03:07] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Alright Raven. What do you want from me exactly?
[29.08.2022 17:03:24] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps for you to not kill me?
[29.08.2022 17:03:29] [SIS]-V.Steiner: HA
[29.08.2022 17:03:33] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Ask yourself something
[29.08.2022 17:03:37] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Think about this now.
[29.08.2022 17:03:48] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Do you really think, with all that you have been through
[29.08.2022 17:03:49] A/)-Revenant: My attention is partially focused on the sensors, but go on.
[29.08.2022 17:04:11] [SIS]-V.Steiner: That I, who commands a desk, could possibly possess the skill to kill you?
[29.08.2022 17:04:21] A/)-Revenant: It is not about skill, but directive and execution.
[29.08.2022 17:04:28] A/)-Revenant: Anyone can press a button. Issues orders. Set a trap.
[29.08.2022 17:04:33] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Do you think I want to?
[29.08.2022 17:04:42] A/)-Revenant: You sound convinced that I am up to no good.
[29.08.2022 17:05:01] A/)-Revenant: And, perhaps, no matter with what I do - you may never truly be convinced.
[29.08.2022 17:05:08] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Raven, I'm up to no good. Bretonia is up to no good.
[29.08.2022 17:05:18] [SIS]-V.Steiner: What you're up too....doesn't even come close.
[29.08.2022 17:05:36] A/)-Revenant: Then allow me to return the question; what do you expect of me?
[29.08.2022 17:05:56] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I expect you to do exactly what you're doing, with or without anyone's approval.
[29.08.2022 17:06:11] A/)-Revenant: I know Caliban wants the City. And I know you made a deal with him. And disregarded my warning about him.
[29.08.2022 17:06:20] A/)-Revenant: I saw him for half a second on my radar.
[29.08.2022 17:06:26] A/)-Revenant: Why are you letting him so close to that City>?
[29.08.2022 17:06:39] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I want it gone, he told me he could do it.'
[29.08.2022 17:06:53] A/)-Revenant: [a deep shuddered sigh was had]
[29.08.2022 17:06:56] A/)-Revenant: ...oh, that fool.
[29.08.2022 17:07:03] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Desperation preceeding the fall?
[29.08.2022 17:07:19] A/)-Revenant: And did he enlighten to you as to how he will accomplish such?
[29.08.2022 17:07:33] [SIS]-V.Steiner: He did ask for some Power cells.
[29.08.2022 17:07:46] A/)-Revenant: And what - you're going to let him power up its subsystems?
[29.08.2022 17:07:55] [SIS]-V.Steiner: I have not given them to him.
[29.08.2022 17:08:12] A/)-Revenant: He has his own collection regardless.
[29.08.2022 17:08:22] [SIS]-V.Steiner: As I saw.
[29.08.2022 17:08:25] A/)-Revenant: You dislike the presence of the city. Rightfully so.
[29.08.2022 17:09:16] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Alright Raven. I'll cut you some slack.
[29.08.2022 17:09:17] A/)-Revenant: I wonder if you have any failsafes?
[29.08.2022 17:09:49] [SIS]-V.Steiner: But no one can know.
[29.08.2022 17:10:01] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Bretonia will never accept that they made a mistake.
[29.08.2022 17:10:01] A bounty pool worth $66.000 credits for 2 kills has been deposited in your account.
[29.08.2022 17:10:06] A/)-Revenant: How's that?
[29.08.2022 17:10:16] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Auxesia, Inverness, you.
[29.08.2022 17:10:38] A/)-Revenant: Oh, their focus upon me?
[29.08.2022 17:10:48] [SIS]-V.Steiner: It's all linked, an suddenly the Director of the SIS turns around and says ''It's fine, we were wrong''...Never going to happen
[29.08.2022 17:11:20] [SIS]-V.Steiner: You have my...well, nominal support.
[29.08.2022 17:11:24] A/)-Revenant: Since when were mistakes now a fault?
[29.08.2022 17:11:38] [SIS]-V.Steiner: Since politics love. It's always been about pride.
[29.08.2022 17:11:43] A/)-Revenant: Hah.
