Albert McKenzie '\S/'Arcturus
The Texas Incident is now Off Limits
There was a communication from the Liberty Navy First Armada some time ago, requesting researchers to take part in surveys and analysis regarding The Texas Incident. Being buried in my own work, I accepted that I was late and could not participate in sharing knowledge and analysis data regarding the event. Preparing to head out with the team in the Arcturus, I met with two 46th fleet ships. One of which was the "Osiris"-Class designated the Akhetaten. Wanting to make sure I was safe and secure, the two Navy pilots refused to escort me to the epicenter of the incident, cautioning me not to go there myself. I instead asked for any other points of interest I could research and perform scans on, all the answers they gave did not fit within our operations.
I flew out to Bretonia, as our collective data suggests we have not taken part in any expeditions within that House.
[20.06.2023 09:33:44] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Ah, good day.
[20.06.2023 09:33:50] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Greetings there.
[20.06.2023 09:34:01] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I believe that is why the Akhetaten was lead away from your previous Fleet, Captain.
[20.06.2023 09:34:10] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: That, of course, is just my own speculation however.
[20.06.2023 09:34:18] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: Good day, Starflier.
[20.06.2023 09:34:31] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: Fancy lights.
[20.06.2023 09:34:41] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I like the colour blue.
[20.06.2023 09:34:56] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: It's the best color.
[20.06.2023 09:35:05] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Indeed.
[20.06.2023 09:35:12] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Starfliers greet you, pilot.
[20.06.2023 09:36:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: You are not the First Armada, would that be right?
[20.06.2023 09:36:25] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: That is borderline offensive, Starflier.
[20.06.2023 09:36:38] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: You should be fined for saying that!
[20.06.2023 09:36:51] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: I assume you two have known each other for a while now, haven't you?
[20.06.2023 09:37:05] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: I don't think I've ever seen that ship before.
[20.06.2023 09:37:13] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I do not know this Captain, however I do know the ship.
[20.06.2023 09:37:42] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: This isn't the Captain speaking, Starflier. Chief communications officer Laurette Silva, Lieutenant Commander at rank.
[20.06.2023 09:38:24] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Excuse my confusion. Ranks are unnecessary in my opinion.
[20.06.2023 09:38:27] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: If you're hoping to keep that position and that rank, Silva, I recommend more professionalism.
[20.06.2023 09:38:39] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Silva: Yes ma'am.
[20.06.2023 09:39:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: If not the Armada... perhaps your fleet may be able to assist me.
[20.06.2023 09:39:27] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: What do you require?
[20.06.2023 09:39:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I received word of researchers required in Texas. The communication was quite old.
[20.06.2023 09:40:16] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This got my interest, though I do not know what is out there.
[20.06.2023 09:40:18] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: What is the purpose of the necessity?
[20.06.2023 09:40:52] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: The First Armada wanted information regarding... one moment please.
[20.06.2023 09:41:22] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: "The Texas Incident"
[20.06.2023 09:41:43] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Surveys and analysis of the area.
[20.06.2023 09:41:57] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: That is nothing recent, I'm certain surveys and analysis of the area have already taken place, years ago.
[20.06.2023 09:42:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Information I am yet to acquire, it seems.
[20.06.2023 09:42:48] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: If you're requesting an escort out there, I am afraid we cannot help.
[20.06.2023 09:43:00] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: The area's high in radiation and crowded with unlawful elements.
[20.06.2023 09:43:12] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Sounds like the Armada is sending you in a suicide mission in the first place.
[20.06.2023 09:43:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Why would the Navy send researchers out to their deaths?
[20.06.2023 09:44:39] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have one important question to ask, as it seems you know some details about the incident.
[20.06.2023 09:44:44] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: You're asking the wrong person.
[20.06.2023 09:45:03] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I'd never request for a civilian to scan an area that poses such great danger.
[20.06.2023 09:45:19] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Let alone one that's way outside their league.
[20.06.2023 09:45:22] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Even less so without proper escort.
[20.06.2023 09:45:48] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Everything and anything that regards the Texas Incident is business that's finished.
[20.06.2023 09:46:04] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Is it a graveyard?
[20.06.2023 09:46:47] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: The graveyard's in Nu.
[20.06.2023 09:47:33] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: In the nearby Omicrons? I'm asking about within Texas.
[20.06.2023 09:47:44] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: The only graveyard you'll find in Texas is the one of researchers like you who felt like exploring what they shouldn't.
[20.06.2023 09:48:05] 2023-06-20 09:47:57 SMT : Sundancer is attempting to disconnect from the server
[20.06.2023 09:48:06] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Look up information regarding the Research Liner Hubble.
[20.06.2023 09:48:23] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Noted. Research Liner Hubble.
[20.06.2023 09:48:41] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: And please, stay away from that field.
[20.06.2023 09:48:59] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: The epicenter of that incident has nothing worth your time and effort.
[20.06.2023 09:49:58] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I will heed your words on the area.
[20.06.2023 09:50:56] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Hmm... there is no other points of interest that I can find that are close.
[20.06.2023 09:51:14] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: You might be interested in Kepler.
[20.06.2023 09:51:31] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Negative. Kepler is off limits.
[20.06.2023 09:52:18] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Odd place to be out of limits for an explorer.
[20.06.2023 09:52:23] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I do not wish to have to ingest drugs from Cryer again.
[20.06.2023 09:56:45] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: I wonder, what makes you not equip proper shielding? I'm by far no explorer, but it's a natural thing in my mind.
[20.06.2023 09:57:15] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Interferes with my sensor suite. Impacts the quality of information received.
[20.06.2023 09:57:38] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: And powering down the shield in moments of data transfer doesn't suffice?
[20.06.2023 09:58:38] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Removing the shield generator gives me space to place a file server. A trade I was willing to make.
[20.06.2023 09:59:16] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Sounds like questionable decisionmaking.
[20.06.2023 09:59:38] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Hm. I can see you reasoning, although my natural instinct tells me not to unequip the one barrier protecting my ship from -
[20.06.2023 09:59:43] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: the dangers of space.
[20.06.2023 10:00:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: There are many shipyards across the Houses. I am not worried about superficial damages to my hull.
[20.06.2023 10:01:29] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I hope you don't get yourself killed, Starflier.
[20.06.2023 10:01:40] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Back to Kepler, any other explorer can go into that system. We will not.
[20.06.2023 10:02:53] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Thank you for your concern.
[20.06.2023 10:03:00] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I didn't ask you to go to Kepler for my own reasons. The Akhetaten has clear access to the system.
[20.06.2023 10:03:16] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I merely suggested it after you mentioned not having anything to research around these parts.
[20.06.2023 10:04:10] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: We had lived there for many months. The only thing that I found calming was the dark storm.
[20.06.2023 10:04:28] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: However, we evacuated and sadly could not take everything with us.
[20.06.2023 10:05:05] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Strict no fly zone since then.
[20.06.2023 10:06:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Any other points within Liberty that may be of interest to the Starfliers?
[20.06.2023 10:06:49] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: I've no clue what may interest you around these parts, Starflier.
[20.06.2023 10:07:02] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Sounds like you'll have more luck exploring systems away from House Space.
[20.06.2023 10:07:34] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: A task much suited for our smaller crafts.
[20.06.2023 10:08:10] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I shall thank you for the reading material about Research Liner Hubble.
[20.06.2023 10:08:19] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: I usually look at the Sigma systems when I'm looking for interesting scenes and secrets to uncover.
[20.06.2023 10:08:48] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: This may surprise you, we are not welcome there.
[20.06.2023 10:09:24] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Now why aren't you?
[20.06.2023 10:10:26] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: The Gas Mining Guild is aware of the scanning equipment we use. Likely the reason.
[20.06.2023 10:11:18] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: It does not bother me, as the process for creating H-Fuel does not interest me.
[20.06.2023 10:11:34] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Well, let's see about other places .... what about the Omicrons?
[20.06.2023 10:12:01] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Which system? They are all different.
[20.06.2023 10:12:43] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: I don't know a whole lot of them, but when these exist ... it makes me wonder why you would choose a place like Liberty to -
[20.06.2023 10:12:46] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: explore?
[20.06.2023 10:13:35] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Civilized areas have a certain safety to them. There is always something new to learn in areas like this.
[20.06.2023 10:14:30] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Well, in this case I have to apologize, as I'm not aware of any big mysteries around Liberty that aren't too dangerous.
[20.06.2023 10:15:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I have some choice words for the First Armada. Only after I catch up with the Research Liner Hubble.
[20.06.2023 10:16:21] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: I hope you can make sure they don't send more researchers to their deaths.
[20.06.2023 10:16:38] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I shall head out via California. Maybe Bretonia has an anomaly or two I can investigate.
[20.06.2023 10:17:23] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I like this. I have seen one too many graveyards already. Do not wish to make more.
[20.06.2023 10:17:41] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: I will head out via California. Maybe Bretonia has an anomaly or two I can investigate.
[20.06.2023 10:17:56] 46th|LNX-Akhetaten: Brown: Good luck on your journey, Starflier.
[20.06.2023 10:18:11] '\S/'Arcturus: Albert: Godspeed, Navy.
[20.06.2023 10:18:39] 46th|Rachel:Mikai: Godspeed!
