Patrol began peacefully: I met a zoner vessel tagged (]c[)Samothraki who was scouting Tau-31 on behalf of their consortium. I arrived in Leeds and it wasn't long before the discourse with the enemy occurred; I have found these occurrences usually become an excercise in trying to demoralise the enemy, as well as filling the dull moments whilst vaguely exploring the mind of the Bretonian. "BAF|Capt.A.Blair: Gee, I sure do love the night shift. Nothing wrong about the night shift. Sure don't hate the night shift.
[KNF-K]Takahashi: I heard your kind enjoyed the dark captain..
[KNF-K]Takahashi: but i thought it propaganda BAF|Capt.A.Blair: Well, it's nice when I'm trying to sleep I guess.
[KNF-K]Takahashi: Do you all sleep on shift, or is that the priviledge of captains solely? "
Much of the banter was of this nature, later a bounty hunter turned up in an orca - I decided to escort BH-Brutix and make sure their intrests did not cause disruption. We both witnessed LaBrise|Dirigedestroy a trader vessel tagged: Heaey_Cannon. The hunter quickly made after the gallic craft and appeared to be heading to edinburgh, I lost contact, and returned to Leeds.
Then a dissenting voice crept through the comm. SCRA|CPW-Mao.Zedong flown by someone called warner, he had some very offensive things to say about the emperor; I searched the system for him but failed in my attempts. I have decided that I must find this pilot one day to make him answer for his insolence. "SCRA|CPW-Mao.Zedong: Warner: Your emperor is a fraud. Not a God, nothing special, just a man with dreams of power."
His profane statements sent me dizzy with anger, and I'm ashamed to admit I let one "Alkaline" (a B.a.f pilot sent to Stokes by blair) slip back to Leeds, as I struggled to physically control myself. Alkaline then informed us all that he 'kept' Kusari women as some kind of concubines or something. Warner continued his tirade: "SCRA|CPW-Mao.Zedong: Warner: Your Emperor is a fake. A mere man who thinks himself a "Kami"."
"SCRA|CPW-Mao.Zedong: Warner: Your Emperor is nothing but a useless husk that uses others to make his current existence not suck.
SCRA|CPW-Mao.Zedong: Warner: In that aspect I suppose he is no better than the Nomads.
[KNF-K]Takahashi: *gasps* I will find you, and I will make you speak those words backwards.."
More bodies joined the debate; Buckaroo.Banzai (who symapthised with the SCRA| and the breton), HMS-Hadrian (a breton pilot named Evans), HMS-Victory (piloted by Nelson), Josh.Evans, and Harp. The last one announcing that they were taking vehicles to Leeds planet.
Suddenly I witnessed Heaey_Cannon jump in, this time tailed by [KSP]Toru.Kondo who had dilligently followed this would be blockade runner from home space and patiently explained the law. Cannon was forced to dock aboard the Nagasaki, and after some time their transponder signal went dead, Officer Kondo left after it became apparent that Heaey_Cannon would not be confirming the removal of the plutonium from their hold.
There was more debate, then a corsair appeared and the bretonians mocked him continuously. It was in interesting episode, despite being free of violence. >>>Transmission Terminated
