Name: "Civil Servant" Location: Bruchsal Subject: Intelligence report - The Order
"CS here, got some news so listen in.
"Intelligence and analyst teams on Tennstedt have corroborated with intelligence supplied by Platform cells on recent actions by the organization known as The Order. If anyone hasn't been to our front of Bundschuh concern, they're a household name in xeno-alien related operations and usually carry a enigmatic stigma when dealing with them. Undoubtedly veterans to the Bundschuh will know them as the powerful and unyielding hand that assisted the Botzler's specialist attack force in toppling Chancellor Niemann and his dictatorial takeover of the Federal Republic in 801A.S. They've been an open supplier to the wider Bundschuh in terms of aid and arms, a frequent ally in combat operations during the opposition to the post-war Federal Republic and have kept the early malicious intentions of the Core mercenaries from spilling in.
"As you probably know, the Platform was involved in a recent skirmish in Sigma-15 consisting of Corsairs, Rheinland Law Enforcement, Order, Nomad entities. While the region has a high degree of instability and conflict, the Corsairs and Order seem to have an agreement that apparently triumphs whatever the Bundschuh held for decades. Now they turn their guns on someone they've known as a symbol of trust within the Bundschuh unless we co-operate with them without question at the cost of our own people."
[01.03.2024 21:04:38] (=)Erich:Klugmann: Order vessel, DISENGAGE!
[01.03.2024 21:04:44] (=)Erich:Klugmann: Whose side are you on?!
[01.03.2024 21:04:53] Order|Codename.Satyr: Then focus your fire at Nomads!
[01.03.2024 21:04:55] DTR-CNS>Andromeda: side of the freedom
"We can't take these actions lightly, a word given and then broken in an act of violence in a short time has forced us to re-evaluate the reliability and trust we can obtain from the Order enough that we are advising a general caution on presence of The Order within Rheinland and areas of concern. We are encouraging pilots to file reports to the Open Network If you encounter any suspicious and hostile activities concerning any Order affiliated vessels.
"On an additional note concerning this subject, I've had the enjoyment of conversing with an Order| agent some time ago... While I felt it was nothing more than my personal dislike for the Order, in hindsight it may be of some relevance to those who wish to know about the organization we call our 'allies' towards our political goals. Some of my concerns may be identified as serious ethical conflict and should be considered a serious threat the foundation and future of what we deem right... But I won't decide that for you. You'll also have to excuse my faux ignorance... Usually the best way to get the truth out of someone."
[13.10.2023 00:59:14] Order|Valkyrie: Bundschuh on scanner. Welcome.
[13.10.2023 00:59:32] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't think I need welcoming in my familiar space.
[13.10.2023 00:59:42] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Pilot, how are we?
[13.10.2023 00:59:58] Order|Valkyrie: You can call me Valkyrie, or Val.
[13.10.2023 01:00:06] Order|Valkyrie: and figured you'd enjoy being welcomed to your own home after all.
[13.10.2023 01:00:19] Order|Valkyrie: Haven't been to Rheinland in a while...
[13.10.2023 01:00:22] (=)-"Civil.Servant": We aren't a welcome people within our own home.
[13.10.2023 01:00:44] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Its a... Sticky predicament.
[13.10.2023 01:00:48] Order|Valkyrie: Your rock isn't the most cozy thing indeed, but I've learned better than to complain many years ago.
[13.10.2023 01:01:02] Order|Valkyrie: Hm? Things had turned out worse for you?
[13.10.2023 01:01:09] (=)-"Civil.Servant": We lost Bautzen.
[13.10.2023 01:01:16] (=)-"Civil.Servant": The mood isn't too great.
[13.10.2023 01:01:26] Order|Valkyrie: That will be second Bundschuh station lost in Dresden itself to my own memory...
[13.10.2023 01:02:11] Order|Valkyrie: It seems to be common theme everywhere in Sirius
[13.10.2023 01:02:13] Order|Valkyrie: Downward spiral.
[13.10.2023 01:02:31] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Well, I've been in the shit long enough to know.
[13.10.2023 01:02:42] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I think at this point I don't know any other life.
[13.10.2023 01:03:01] Order|Valkyrie: Is there any other life to look forward to in Rheinland to begin with.
[13.10.2023 01:03:13] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yes, but not for me.
[13.10.2023 01:03:34] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Not that I mind though!
[13.10.2023 01:03:35] Order|Valkyrie: Then there isn't much of a reason to ponder on possibilities that do not exist.
[13.10.2023 01:03:47] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh but I disagree.
[13.10.2023 01:04:04] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I may not be capable of things a civilian life might fruit, doesn't mean I need to fight any less for it.
[13.10.2023 01:04:28] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I know its borderline romantical but... Whatever, I'm being useful I guess.
[13.10.2023 01:04:43] Order|Valkyrie: It feels like you're not fighting for yourself, but more for the others.
[13.10.2023 01:04:53] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Imagine that.
[13.10.2023 01:05:15] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Anyway, Order, this far out? Its been some time since the Bundschuh have had contact.
[13.10.2023 01:05:30] Order|Valkyrie: Not even a slight of... greedyness? Not the corporate money-thing, but... seeking something for yourself.
[13.10.2023 01:05:59] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Careful pilot, we're getting down to personal speculation.
[13.10.2023 01:06:07] Order|Valkyrie: We have to keep tabs on things, so sending out scouts is essential. I could be considered... one.
[13.10.2023 01:06:21] Order|Valkyrie: If only to at least asses the damage.
[13.10.2023 01:06:47] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Hah, not like it really should matter to you though. I figured support stopped a long time ago since the stagnation-
[13.10.2023 01:06:49] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Of the bundschuh.
[13.10.2023 01:07:14] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Last i heard, you were supplying suspiciously 'alternative' small arms to the movement.
[13.10.2023 01:07:17] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Then... Silence.
[13.10.2023 01:07:21] Order|Valkyrie: I am not all that versed in House politics.
[13.10.2023 01:07:39] Order|Valkyrie: Yeah... weapons we have more than enough and then some.
[13.10.2023 01:08:07] Order|Valkyrie: If you live in the Edge, living without a weapon is like having no clothes.
[13.10.2023 01:08:29] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yes but I think I'm perfectly capable being a product of my time. A weapon comes and goes.
[13.10.2023 01:08:39] Order|Valkyrie: As for the stagnation. Things in Omicrons aren't any better.
[13.10.2023 01:08:53] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I'm not surprised, I keep tabs out on there.
[13.10.2023 01:09:13] Order|Valkyrie: The only thing that's changing is killcount, to which Hispaniards contribute a lot nowadays...
[13.10.2023 01:09:13] (=)-"Civil.Servant": But I've been dark for a little, but I get whispers here and there.
[13.10.2023 01:09:35] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh and... Remind me which organization it was that buddied up with the corsairs?
[13.10.2023 01:09:42] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Certainly wasn't the Bundschuh.
[13.10.2023 01:10:05] Order|Valkyrie: Hm?
[13.10.2023 01:10:31] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I've known Order operations for some time, your alliance with the corsairs. Let alone the fact I was warned--
[13.10.2023 01:10:49] (=)-"Civil.Servant": By order operatives not to fire on a Corsair ship in Xi?
[13.10.2023 01:10:55] Order|Valkyrie: The so-callied Alliance with Corsairs fisseled out in 818 A.S.
[13.10.2023 01:11:27] Order|Valkyrie: Were you? By a Black Fleet agent?
[13.10.2023 01:11:48] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Speculation Val.
[13.10.2023 01:12:16] Order|Valkyrie: You can talk straight to me, if there is an issue.
[13.10.2023 01:13:04] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I think I communicate rather well! People tend to say I have a good chat, /and ears./
[13.10.2023 01:13:33] Order|Valkyrie: Well if you have no complaints, fine then.
[13.10.2023 01:13:48] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Good, usually thats a good sign.
[13.10.2023 01:14:00] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Now, scouting details out here... What are you looking for?
[13.10.2023 01:14:33] Order|Valkyrie: Jumpholes, new supply lines, backdoor routes for our operatives.
[13.10.2023 01:14:41] Order|Valkyrie: You heard about The Pulse?
[13.10.2023 01:15:10] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Unfortunately I lost my jump capable ship and last time I went to Kusari I had a lot of eyes not liking my presence.
[13.10.2023 01:15:18] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Must have been the ship.
[13.10.2023 01:15:49] Order|Valkyrie: Kusari... I never really understood their culture.
[13.10.2023 01:15:49] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Kusari... Amazing culture. Suspiciously high conviction rate.
[13.10.2023 01:16:24] Order|Valkyrie: I can't entirely understand Rheinlanders either, but there's no xenophobia to speak of here.
[13.10.2023 01:16:29] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh you should, I think the underground have a more progressive outlook on their local cultures.
[13.10.2023 01:17:08] (=)-"Civil.Servant": And Rheinland...?
[13.10.2023 01:17:24] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Its lost itself a little, soon though... I'm sure it shall peice itself back together.
[13.10.2023 01:17:27] Order|Valkyrie: I wasn't born in the Colonies, lets just say that.
[13.10.2023 01:18:00] (=)-"Civil.Servant": And the Colonies never liked me, disassociation is hard to accept if you originally are... But I guess intergration for you is-
[13.10.2023 01:18:22] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Almost alien in feeling. Here's a tip, all the major stellar houses... Suck.
[13.10.2023 01:18:31] Order|Valkyrie: Quite common theme.
[13.10.2023 01:18:36] (=)-"Civil.Servant": We apparently let some king sit his ass on a throne somehow.
[13.10.2023 01:19:05] (=)-"Civil.Servant": People got tired of fighting, so the king just used what energy he saved by sending others to die, just to plop himself on a--
[13.10.2023 01:19:18] Order|Valkyrie: So... Bretonian.
[13.10.2023 01:19:24] (=)-"Civil.Servant": throne during peace negotiations. Intergrated, corrupted and destroyed.
[13.10.2023 01:19:35] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh, more alike that you think my friend.
[13.10.2023 01:20:34] Order|Valkyrie: I cant say I really understand how it feels to see your own House carved up, but I can attest the local atmosphere is that of..
[13.10.2023 01:20:37] Order|Valkyrie: big divide, perhaps.
[13.10.2023 01:21:38] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Frankfurt, Dresden, Munich and sigma-15. A sad story of new colonists realizing that the great Kaiser isn't what they're--
[13.10.2023 01:21:41] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Always out to be.
[13.10.2023 01:22:25] Order|Valkyrie: Not so different from Federal Republic then.
[13.10.2023 01:22:40] Order|Valkyrie: Swapped chancellor for a king.
[13.10.2023 01:22:58] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I think you mean the old corporates.
[13.10.2023 01:23:21] (=)-"Civil.Servant": The Federal republic could still prove a shift could take place. Although even then, its weakness was to allow a--
[13.10.2023 01:23:59] (=)-"Civil.Servant": seperate intention to support corporations as a central essence of the state and its people way of life.
[13.10.2023 01:24:09] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I got a tip for you.
[13.10.2023 01:24:15] Order|Valkyrie: Corporations are deffinately most perplexing part of your society to me.
[13.10.2023 01:24:37] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Well what is the Order then?
[13.10.2023 01:25:03] Order|Valkyrie: I do not quite understand your question?
[13.10.2023 01:25:09] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I mean.
[13.10.2023 01:25:11] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Aside from.
[13.10.2023 01:25:14] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Fighting.
[13.10.2023 01:25:28] (=)-"Civil.Servant": What is the Order outside of that? In a way of life?
[13.10.2023 01:25:51] (=)-"Civil.Servant": You can't just be born and serve a purpose of combatative rage?
[13.10.2023 01:25:52] Order|Valkyrie: You may have found a wrong person to ask that. Aside from fighting... blood ties, for me personally.
[13.10.2023 01:26:21] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Sounds like we can put a helmet on you and you might be no different.
[13.10.2023 01:26:43] Order|Valkyrie: When you have nothing left to fight for, what remains of your own family can be a motivation in itself.
[13.10.2023 01:27:01] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Funny, don't really have that myself.
[13.10.2023 01:27:21] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I guess I've just got blind hope that the public that I support have the right idea.
[13.10.2023 01:27:29] Order|Valkyrie: Living in the Edge Worlds is constant fighting. Granted, recruits from the inner worlds may have different outlook.
[13.10.2023 01:28:19] (=)-"Civil.Servant": But... You don't want to purpetuate that right?
[13.10.2023 01:28:38] Order|Valkyrie: Would you preffer to sit down and wait for them to kill you instead?
[13.10.2023 01:28:57] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I'd rather try and talk before dragging them to the grave with me.
[13.10.2023 01:29:14] Order|Valkyrie: Fighting is all you have left out there. They have food, you dont. Alternatively other way around.
[13.10.2023 01:29:29] Order|Valkyrie: Life is a fight itself.
[13.10.2023 01:30:06] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Life is a fight, maybe its a fight to grow crops, to learn that properties of the universe in an attempt to avoid a slow death.
[13.10.2023 01:30:31] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't know...
[13.10.2023 01:30:34] Order|Valkyrie: You're not wrong, but it still boils down to the fight.
[13.10.2023 01:30:46] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Still seems crazy that the Core fight for credits.
[13.10.2023 01:31:02] (=)-"Civil.Servant": In the edge of the sector.
[13.10.2023 01:31:06] Order|Valkyrie: you cant eat credits. But I suppose it can buy food.
[13.10.2023 01:31:36] Order|Valkyrie: Before my stint with The Order, I've been learning how to fix pirate ships that brought everything we couldnt produce ourselves
[13.10.2023 01:32:23] Order|Valkyrie: I wasn't directly in the fight, but without me, they would hardly be able to function
[13.10.2023 01:32:24] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yes, but how can you value someone dodging tax loopholes and ruthlessly oppressing masses--
[13.10.2023 01:32:59] Order|Valkyrie: If tax was too opressive, we either abolished the tyrant, or left elsewhere.
[13.10.2023 01:33:14] (=)-"Civil.Servant": More than someone who advances in sectors or science or those who bring alive the fruition of life.
[13.10.2023 01:33:36] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Its not about abolishing taxes, I mean, that be great, but it comes down to trusting someone to help when you need it.
[13.10.2023 01:34:16] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Food not looking good this week? Neighbour has supplies, need a ship fixed, your guy will give you a hand in return for--
[13.10.2023 01:34:24] (=)-"Civil.Servant": -- a supply run of fuel.
[13.10.2023 01:34:39] Order|Valkyrie: That would work if we weren't living in a shithole.
[13.10.2023 01:34:45] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Who would have thought.
[13.10.2023 01:35:01] (=)-"Civil.Servant": We're ripping this sector of resources, and squandering them in war.
[13.10.2023 01:35:26] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Sucks but, we gotta try and do it all over again just to try a different way of life that doesn't circulate around corporate--
[13.10.2023 01:35:43] (=)-"Civil.Servant": interests, that use war to increase power and profits. Like a dopamine rush looking at a bank account.
[13.10.2023 01:36:02] Order|Valkyrie: It is simple, more base instincts at play in what I described.
[13.10.2023 01:36:19] Order|Valkyrie: But yes, greed of the corporates is something... almost alien.
[13.10.2023 01:37:15] (=)-"Civil.Servant": So whats the endgame of the Order then?
[13.10.2023 01:37:39] Order|Valkyrie: If you ask my personal endgame, I stay loyal to whats left of my family, that just happens to be in The Order
[13.10.2023 01:37:42] Order|Valkyrie: as for the Order itself...
[13.10.2023 01:37:52] Order|Valkyrie: They want to rid this universe of everything that isn't human.
[13.10.2023 01:38:08] Order|Valkyrie: Considering what those aliens are capable of, this is surprisingly selfless.
[13.10.2023 01:38:15] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't...
[13.10.2023 01:38:22] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't know how I feel about that personally.
[13.10.2023 01:38:35] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Isn't advertising that out a little... Pre-emptive to anyone else we might meet?
[13.10.2023 01:38:41] (=)-"Civil.Servant": As in... Other aliens?
[13.10.2023 01:39:00] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I'm not talking about--
[13.10.2023 01:39:07] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Them, but... Potentially others?
[13.10.2023 01:39:17] Order|Valkyrie: We know of two. Arguably three... or four. Depends on who you ask.
[13.10.2023 01:39:35] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't know.
[13.10.2023 01:39:51] Order|Valkyrie: Nomads, who simply want to rid this universe of humans.
[13.10.2023 01:39:59] Order|Valkyrie: Daam K'Vosh, who unleashed Nomads upon us.
[13.10.2023 01:40:11] Order|Valkyrie: the so-called AI from Kappa, as well as the Outcasts.
[13.10.2023 01:40:25] (=)-"Civil.Servant": You're assuming I know all these names.
[13.10.2023 01:40:43] Order|Valkyrie: Well, I can indulge you more, it isn't exactly classified knowledge.
[13.10.2023 01:40:49] Order|Valkyrie: I dont think I have to tell you what Nomads are, right?
[13.10.2023 01:41:45] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Uh, seen them. Very angry, In the omicrons.
[13.10.2023 01:41:47] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yes.
[13.10.2023 01:42:14] Order|Valkyrie: You also probably know of those alien artifacts those pansies in New Berlin call "art"
[13.10.2023 01:42:25] Order|Valkyrie: Those artifacts aren't Nomad.
[13.10.2023 01:42:51] Order|Valkyrie: They're junk left by the original settlers - or so we think - of Sirius.
[13.10.2023 01:42:59] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Honestly I thought the glowing the the glass cases was just an light effect.
[13.10.2023 01:43:06] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Original settlers?
[13.10.2023 01:43:33] Order|Valkyrie: Their civilization for some reason dissapeared before we arrived. Whether they killed themselves off or just left, we dont know
[13.10.2023 01:44:05] (=)-"Civil.Servant": What was the name of that Civilization? Seems kinda weird that if they sound like they were all over sirius from you.
[13.10.2023 01:44:14] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yet... I've never heard any news about them.
[13.10.2023 01:44:16] Order|Valkyrie: Daam K'Vosh, hard to pronounce.
[13.10.2023 01:44:34] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Dom Ker'V-- Ker...
[13.10.2023 01:44:37] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Nice alright.
[13.10.2023 01:44:39] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Okay wait.
[13.10.2023 01:44:50] (=)-"Civil.Servant": THey're the ones that released the nomads on us... Right?
[13.10.2023 01:44:51] Order|Valkyrie: Thats the closest we got to transcribe their name within human'ish sounds.
[13.10.2023 01:45:01] Order|Valkyrie: Correct. They have created the Nomads.
[13.10.2023 01:45:13] (=)-"Civil.Servant": But... They're long gone thought right?
[13.10.2023 01:45:35] Order|Valkyrie: Gone. We've only found bits and pieces. And their creations.
[13.10.2023 01:45:47] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Do you know they released us on purpose?
[13.10.2023 01:45:57] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Them, on us.
[13.10.2023 01:46:14] Order|Valkyrie: There ain't any alive in Sirius sector to tell us the truth.
[13.10.2023 01:46:38] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Then what makes you say they released them on us like... pushed a button to fire a missile or give an order?
[13.10.2023 01:47:04] Order|Valkyrie: They irresponsibly left behind a race of biomechanoid monsters hellbent on destroying everything that isnt them.
[13.10.2023 01:47:16] Order|Valkyrie: That sounds pretty damning to me.
[13.10.2023 01:47:16] (=)-"Civil.Servant": ...
[13.10.2023 01:47:24] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Sounds like a home security system.
[13.10.2023 01:47:48] Order|Valkyrie: As stupid as it sounds, they're more like slaves
[13.10.2023 01:47:53] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I mean, not saying that I think its bad on those Der Ka'vash for not expecting visitors but...
[13.10.2023 01:48:13] Order|Valkyrie: They were made purely to repair and maintain their other creations
[13.10.2023 01:48:25] Order|Valkyrie: They've done bad job, given there's barely of their creators around.
[13.10.2023 01:48:58] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yeah but.
[13.10.2023 01:49:14] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Imagine some dude just walking around in your dead family's tomb.
[13.10.2023 01:49:27] (=)-"Civil.Servant": And then just picking their bones up and shit for... 'art'?
[13.10.2023 01:49:47] Order|Valkyrie: And yet they've tolerated Cretans digging shiny rocks for close to 800 years.
[13.10.2023 01:50:14] Order|Valkyrie: We don't know what triggered them.
[13.10.2023 01:50:34] Order|Valkyrie: One day, Freeport 7 blows up and they're all over the place propping us up for extermination.
[13.10.2023 01:51:25] Order|Valkyrie: There would be no need for The Order if these aliens came in peace.
[13.10.2023 01:51:30] Order|Valkyrie: Yet here we are.
[13.10.2023 01:51:42] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Shit dude, sounds like we walked in their bedroom during a home invasion and rolled up to our house and got payback.
[13.10.2023 01:51:56] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I mean, its obviously a breakdown of communication.
[13.10.2023 01:52:13] (=)-"Civil.Servant": All i get are screams, angry and the occasional nosebleed trying to fly away from them.
[13.10.2023 01:52:25] Order|Valkyrie: I've had the unluck to 'speak' to some of them.
[13.10.2023 01:52:37] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Really?
[13.10.2023 01:52:52] Order|Valkyrie: Cryptic as hell.
[13.10.2023 01:53:07] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't know about that, try me.
[13.10.2023 01:53:20] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I've seen how the politicians live, thats beyond inane.
[13.10.2023 01:53:30] Order|Valkyrie: One that I remember vividly to this day...
[13.10.2023 01:53:52] Order|Valkyrie: One Nomad showed me memories of my previous boss, making pact with said Nomad.
[13.10.2023 01:54:11] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Old boss?
[13.10.2023 01:54:13] Order|Valkyrie: Lohingren, was his name.
[13.10.2023 01:54:19] Order|Valkyrie: A rogue Outcast Don.
[13.10.2023 01:54:30] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Ah, Maltese?
[13.10.2023 01:54:40] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Weird.
[13.10.2023 01:54:49] Order|Valkyrie: He thought himself he could bring peace to Sirius, and settle down differences between Nomads and Humans alike
[13.10.2023 01:55:06] Order|Valkyrie: He ended up only killing more people in the process. Ironic.
[13.10.2023 01:55:43] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Like, he went out and agreed to let them slaughter people?
[13.10.2023 01:55:49] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Who outright does that, shocking.
[13.10.2023 01:55:59] Order|Valkyrie: More like he sought to establish some kind of... non-aggression pact would be correct word.
[13.10.2023 01:56:30] Order|Valkyrie: Whatever he did, it succeeded. Nomads didnt bother us at the time, strangely enough.
[13.10.2023 01:56:41] (=)-"Civil.Servant": They did?
[13.10.2023 01:56:58] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Odd, didn't expect that to even happen.
[13.10.2023 01:57:08] Order|Valkyrie: Can you imagine my face, seeing a Nomad just... ignoring me?
[13.10.2023 01:57:40] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Honestly.
[13.10.2023 01:57:44] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Sounds nice.
[13.10.2023 01:58:10] Order|Valkyrie: Hmpf... it wasn't so for everyone else though.
[13.10.2023 01:58:26] Order|Valkyrie: Nomads love blowing up civilian transports and the like.
[13.10.2023 01:58:31] (=)-"Civil.Servant": What they just... Wanted the nomads to try and attack them?
[13.10.2023 01:58:34] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh well--
[13.10.2023 01:58:39] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Pirates do too but.
[13.10.2023 01:58:46] Order|Valkyrie: Pirates at least want something.
[13.10.2023 01:59:01] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't know... The unioners gassed their own civilians on alster for...
[13.10.2023 01:59:04] (=)-"Civil.Servant": 'Support'.
[13.10.2023 01:59:12] Order|Valkyrie: I do not understand that either.
[13.10.2023 01:59:16] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Yeah like-
[13.10.2023 01:59:45] Order|Valkyrie: I've seen some atrocities happen, but I was too young to understand the true implication of all this bullshit.
[13.10.2023 01:59:48] (=)-"Civil.Servant": After your intepritation, as mundane as I see it. Man, we're some messy neighbours as a species.
[13.10.2023 02:00:42] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Even if the nomads are slaves to a command, thats hell of a lot more innocent than being... slavers.
[13.10.2023 02:00:51] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Well, I think they can be they just don't get it.
[13.10.2023 02:01:17] Order|Valkyrie: Word of advice: you ever get captured by Nomad, have a gun on you.
[13.10.2023 02:01:21] Order|Valkyrie: And a bullet with your own name on it.
[13.10.2023 02:01:22] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Or at least see slavery as a profit... More of a means for utilization of tools in war.
[13.10.2023 02:01:50] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Oh I wouldn't imagine what I'd do~
[13.10.2023 02:01:58] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Makes me uncomfortable.
[13.10.2023 02:02:15] Order|Valkyrie: This is single most screwed up thing I can think of. Easily beats those Unioners.
[13.10.2023 02:02:44] Order|Valkyrie: At least those civilians *died* in the end.
[13.10.2023 02:03:02] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Did the Order ever get live nomad prisoners of war?
[13.10.2023 02:03:22] Order|Valkyrie: Wilde? In a sense - yes. The Nomads themselves? No.
[13.10.2023 02:03:30] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Wilde?
[13.10.2023 02:03:39] Order|Valkyrie: Thats name some of us give to the infected pilots.
[13.10.2023 02:03:46] Order|Valkyrie: Nomad wearing skin of a human.
[13.10.2023 02:03:52] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Eugh--
[13.10.2023 02:03:56] (=)-"Civil.Servant": But why just Pilots?
[13.10.2023 02:04:20] Order|Valkyrie: Convenient tools of war that can blend in.
[13.10.2023 02:04:26] Order|Valkyrie: Spies. Operatives. Terrorists.
[13.10.2023 02:04:46] (=)-"Civil.Servant": How...
[13.10.2023 02:05:05] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I want to say 'conspiracy'.
[13.10.2023 02:05:20] Order|Valkyrie: It sounds like a bad aliens movie, right.
[13.10.2023 02:05:53] Order|Valkyrie: Thing is, the method by which those Nomads interact with their masters technology is not too dissimilar with human physiology.
[13.10.2023 02:06:28] Order|Valkyrie: Which we concluded that Daam K'Vosh must have mastered biology.
[13.10.2023 02:07:06] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Shit, they tell you this out of interrogation?
[13.10.2023 02:07:23] Order|Valkyrie: None survived interrogaiton. Typically they terminate themselves.
[13.10.2023 02:07:32] Order|Valkyrie: We however learned a lot dissecting them.
[13.10.2023 02:08:04] Order|Valkyrie: They were humans. Its just their nervous system is being hijacked by a specialized Nomad sub-species.
[13.10.2023 02:08:43] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Fuck man. We dissected them? Like after we killed them?
[13.10.2023 02:09:09] Order|Valkyrie: Yes. Wild will kill itself before disclosing any tangible information.
[13.10.2023 02:09:25] (=)-"Civil.Servant": How cliche.
[13.10.2023 02:09:25] Order|Valkyrie: I've only heard Kusarians could do such a thing...
[13.10.2023 02:10:05] Order|Valkyrie: As for the Nomad captives themselves... have you ever attempted to arrest a gunboat-sized lifeform?
[13.10.2023 02:10:50] (=)-"Civil.Servant": The moment you say gunboat-sized in reference to an Alien, i'd rather not.
[13.10.2023 02:11:02] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I don't think they'd understand our concept of arrest under laws anyway.
[13.10.2023 02:11:20] Order|Valkyrie: They aren't piloting ships. They are the ships.
[13.10.2023 02:11:39] Order|Valkyrie: You can't force one to eject, and be captured like some common thug in Liberty.
[13.10.2023 02:12:09] (=)-"Civil.Servant": They are the ships? Thank kinda explains why I can see space slightly through their ships.
[13.10.2023 02:12:15] (=)-"Civil.Servant": If it wasn't for the blinding light.
[13.10.2023 02:12:31] Order|Valkyrie: *nods on the camera*
[13.10.2023 02:12:49] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Okay but then... How do they like.
[13.10.2023 02:12:59] (=)-"Civil.Servant": " Get in ya' " ?
[13.10.2023 02:13:22] Order|Valkyrie: Their smallest form is conveniently sized to get though your mouth by force.
[13.10.2023 02:13:29] (=)-"Civil.Servant": EUGH--?!
[13.10.2023 02:13:49] Order|Valkyrie: They will take over your spinal cord, and brain without killing the host.
[13.10.2023 02:13:50] (=)-"Civil.Servant": God, I wouldn't want to be the poor soul pinned under that.
[13.10.2023 02:14:06] Order|Valkyrie: Few had seen it, but trust me we have witnesses.
[13.10.2023 02:14:15] Order|Valkyrie: I wish I was making that shit up.
[13.10.2023 02:14:32] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Truth is in the eye of the beholder, Val.
[13.10.2023 02:14:59] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I imagine what we percieve as a horror... They probably won't know that.
[13.10.2023 02:15:20] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Just a method. Nuts eh?
[13.10.2023 02:15:30] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Can't say we have our fair share of humans that think like that.
[13.10.2023 02:15:35] Order|Valkyrie: They do understand pain.
[13.10.2023 02:15:50] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Everyone should.
[13.10.2023 02:16:01] (=)-"Civil.Servant": It whats helps remind you what happiness is.
[13.10.2023 02:16:27] Order|Valkyrie: Anyway, Order would preffer for humans to endure without a threat from the Nomads.
[13.10.2023 02:17:08] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I feel like I've hard that before. But just... Swap the names around a bit.
[13.10.2023 02:17:23] Order|Valkyrie: Its us or them, allright?
[13.10.2023 02:17:33] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I've heard that many times before.
[13.10.2023 02:17:34] Order|Valkyrie: Xenocide is the word you're looking for.
[13.10.2023 02:18:32] Order|Valkyrie: Anyway. I need to rest. We could continue it the other day.
[13.10.2023 02:18:43] Order|Valkyrie: Talking to someone from the Colonies without guns blazing does feel refreshing, after all.
[13.10.2023 02:18:51] (=)-"Civil.Servant": You ever considered the Order seems to encourage psychotic personalities.
[13.10.2023 02:18:57] (=)-"Civil.Servant": And yes, do...
[13.10.2023 02:18:58] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Uh.
[13.10.2023 02:19:06] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Keep talking to people instead of shooting them.
[13.10.2023 02:19:17] Order|Valkyrie: They typically fire first.
[13.10.2023 02:19:18] (=)-"Civil.Servant": Thats seems good for your health.
[13.10.2023 02:19:21] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I mean.
[13.10.2023 02:19:25] (=)-"Civil.Servant": I hear that a lot too.
[13.10.2023 02:19:49] Order|Valkyrie: Dont think I would be able to hold this kind of conversation wtih Rheinland Imperial Police
[13.10.2023 02:20:37] Order|Valkyrie: Be seeing you.
