Hard to say...two operatives have left with his body towards the Omicrons. That's what some people on Freeport 8 said.
I guess he's alive...? I hope so, really. All of us here on the Wayfarer received new directives. Each of us received a new callsign and the task to survive.
For short? It's all us now until stated otherwise. Wish I'd be able to help more. Unless...you could help us with something in turn.

Help you? Mate, look I don't know how much Caliban let you all know about the bloody mess he was tangled in.
But considering the fact everything has just gone tits up on me with this current crisis, and the fact that I may have just held the fate of the entire bloody fucking sector in my hands and I'm not sure if I just saved it or doomed it.
I highly doubt there is much I can do to help you, but on the offchance my luck takes a miracilious bloody turn... fire ahead, ask. I just can't promise you lot anything at the moment.

Well...we were his main workforce when it came down to studying and fighting the Sentinels. Then we all were reduced to ship maintenance...oh well.
Look. I wouldn't normally go out of my way to ask an outsider for help. I would prefer if I didn't do it at all, but Revenant's having a moment again. I don't know what Boss has been doing all this time, but clearly he spared her more times than she deserved. Not long ago she said she'll ask someone called "Harbinger" for aid. It also didn't helped that she tried to fry me twice over the net!
She's dangerous, you know. Could you keep an eye on her? See if she goes off the rails? Again, even? I'm sure that can't be a lot to ask for.
Aaaaand don't mind if I ask. But what crisis are you talking about? Eh...which one, actually?

"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
Yeah, well, funny you mention Harbinger. Entire crisis is Laz, we- well, it's pretty much just me at this point. But I think Harbinger has made Laz the next key to replace Cal after Laz managed to pick up a Nomad power cell and started rambling before just straight up vanishing on us. Raven nearly died going into the Nomad Worlds looking for him, while I found Laz in Knossos.
Entire thing is a bloody mess, the two of them were incapacitated and I had to try and judge whether or not Laz was too far gone or not. For all I knew I could have ended it there and then when neither of them could have done anything. Or I could have doomed the entire sector. I didn't have the intel to make a good choice but... even if I did...
I couldn't do it. Not to Kris at least. Not if there's still a chance I can keep my promise and stop Harbinger fr-
Well, not if I can stop Harbinger from driving him to the lengths of Cal was driven to.
Anyway, their ships emergency protocols kicked in, and I followed them to some resrticted Technocracy or Gammu base in Pi. Bastards wouldn't even let me wait with Kris so I could be there when he woke up...
But yeah, I was planning on doing that anyway, but knowing Raven she'll be going off the rails the moment she wakes up. So, lucky bloody me.

Huh...so Laz got himself in Harbinger's crosshairs. I kind of liked the guy. Shame he didn't choose to side with us instead of following Revenant. Things might've turned out differently.
Now if he turns out to be the next key, then your only way to really save the sector is to kill Laz. Unless...you can hold his curiosity in check or something.
Here's something. You ever have to put Laz on ice or keep him docile for a while? The Wayfarer's your best shot. Might even try to jimmy his implants here. Give him a taste of real freedom! You won't find any of the Technocracy's buddies here. In return I'd just like to ask you to keep an eye on Rev'.
It's a good deal, Rebecca.

Yeah, only small issue there is betraying his trust, getting him to the Wayfarer and bloody high risk brain surgery. Oh and taking his fucking eye out, his arm and all the other damn augs.
Regardless I don't have access at the moment but... I'll keep in mind. I just need to make sure he's still in there. But it's going to be a nightmare to try and keep his cuiosity in check.

My offer remains available for the foreseeable future. Captain has some good medical droids. They were the ones to install most augmentations on him - and take them out when necessary. And this is no boasting mind you.
If Laz started to go crazy, then you might as well be doing him a service by bringing him over. Rational thoughts tend to go out the window at times like these! So...yeah. Broken trust or not, he might thank you in the long run.

Cal, Raven just got in touch with me looking for Laz, thinking he had come looking to me or that she fucking sent him to me or something!
Also claims you got two of her people killed.
Now, if there's one thing I've learned from this mess, she's leaving out details, what am I missing? Also, she seems to think he went looking for you because of whatever the fuck I missed while I was on Cambridge.

Raven brought Laz to a secluded region known as The Shrine. I was minding my own business when one of her followers messaged me directly. That follower told me the kid was in pain and was suffering. Turns out a greater Nomad Warform was carving Laz's mind. By the time I arrived I didn't know what was going on, and I was outnumbered.
After Laz recovered partially he was taken on The Shrine and I was left with "Wisp" and "Gestalt", as well as the Nomad. I lost my cool and lashed out at Gestalt. The latter which used the Nomad as a shield. Wisp took my side and attacked the alien.
I killed Gestalt. Later Raven took down Wisp on account that he's a traitor. He was the hero in this situation. She will kill anyone that takes my side in this war.
wouldn't surprise me if she would incarcerate Laz if he was caught doing the same. Or worse.
don't believe me? have a look. if she offers anything - it is death and enslavement.

[08.01.2024 23:52:51] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: A large nomad is doing something to Him.
[08.01.2024 23:52:58] Caliban: Right. Where?
[08.01.2024 23:53:06] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: The shrine.
[08.01.2024 23:53:19] Caliban: Why in balls did you people go to the Shrine...
[08.01.2024 23:53:38] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: Revs idea...
[08.01.2024 23:54:22] Caliban: Ugh...fine.
[08.01.2024 23:54:28] Caliban: On my way.
[08.01.2024 23:54:44] Caliban: Needed to have a talk with Lazurith anyway.
[08.01.2024 23:57:23] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: He keeps yelling what do I do?
[08.01.2024 23:57:30] Caliban: Fuck.
[08.01.2024 23:57:38] Caliban: He needs an anchor.
[08.01.2024 23:57:55] Caliban: Tell Revenant to intervene. She's moderately well versed in psychic shit.
[08.01.2024 23:57:57] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: Rev is telling him let it happen.
[08.01.2024 23:58:01] Caliban: WHAT?
[08.01.2024 23:58:01] [LN]-Rachel.Baker: Busy place today.

[08.01.2024 23:58:34] Caliban: Are they MAD?
[08.01.2024 23:58:46] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: I do not know.
[08.01.2024 23:58:48] Caliban: You do not let Nomad entities play with your brain!

[09.01.2024 00:02:19] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: She is making him drink some faux red wine or somethng?
[09.01.2024 00:07:11] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: God it is doing something weird.
[09.01.2024 00:08:18] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: Cowrds leaving there young. What does it have to do with this!
[09.01.2024 00:08:31] A/)-Revenant: There is no harm meant here.
[09.01.2024 00:08:36] Caliban: What the actual fuck are you troglodytes doing.
[09.01.2024 00:08:37] A/)-Revenant: Lazurith is not alone.
[09.01.2024 00:09:11] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: He is not but you are the tusk ones Rev.
[09.01.2024 00:09:17] A/)-Revenant: Focus on the flask with your other palm.
[09.01.2024 00:09:32] A/)-Revenant: We did not scatter.
[09.01.2024 00:09:46] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: You are leting this happen.
[09.01.2024 00:09:49] Caliban: When I said he should learn the ropes. I specified clearly that /slowly/.
[09.01.2024 00:09:59] A/)-Revenant: I am *not* letting this happen.
[09.01.2024 00:10:02] A/)-Revenant: He is simply not listening - once more.
[09.01.2024 00:10:17] A/)-Revenant: Drink. The. Flask.
[09.01.2024 00:10:19] A/)-Lazurith: G-get it off.
[09.01.2024 00:10:23] A/)-Revenant: Your other palm.
[09.01.2024 00:10:25] A/)-Revenant: Sip it. Now.
[09.01.2024 00:10:31] Caliban: Revenant. You will explain. Before I blow your brains out.
[09.01.2024 00:10:33] Death: Kiramay was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[09.01.2024 00:10:35] A/)-Revenant: You will die.
[09.01.2024 00:10:40] A/)-Gestalt: Do not interfere.
[09.01.2024 00:10:43] Caliban: And I don't fucking care.
[09.01.2024 00:10:48] A/)-Revenant: Yes, you do.
[09.01.2024 00:10:55] Caliban: Then fucking explain.
[09.01.2024 00:10:56] A/)-Lazurith: ...You seek passage... why?
[09.01.2024 00:10:58] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: He is here because he listened
[09.01.2024 00:11:12] A/)-Revenant: He did not focus.
[09.01.2024 00:11:27] A/)-Revenant: The Hammurabi is investigating him, why - I do not.
[09.01.2024 00:11:33] [OOC] A/)-Revenant: know*
[09.01.2024 00:11:34] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: You threw him into the flame!
[09.01.2024 00:11:36] A/)-Revenant: I did not.
[09.01.2024 00:11:39] Caliban: And /why/ are you letting this happen?!
[09.01.2024 00:11:47] A/)-Revenant: I'm telling him precisely what to do.
[09.01.2024 00:11:51] A/)-Revenant: Lazurith is consicously refusing to listen.
[09.01.2024 00:12:01] A/)-Lazurith: Can't-- can't br--
[09.01.2024 00:12:08] A/)-Revenant: Lazurith.
[09.01.2024 00:12:14] Caliban: Tractor him the fuck out. Psyblockers.
[09.01.2024 00:12:14] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: Is there a way to stop this.
[09.01.2024 00:12:14] A/)-Lazurith: [He began to exhale.]
[09.01.2024 00:12:17] A/)-Revenant: *snaps fingers rapidly* Focus - focus - get the flask.
[09.01.2024 00:12:27] Tip: Be careful when picking out the ID for your character. Generic IDs offer much more freedom, but are severely limited in terms of combat as well as the size of ship these characters can pilot.
[09.01.2024 00:12:28] A/)-Lazurith: I-- I'm here again...
[09.01.2024 00:12:35] A/)-Gestalt: Would antipsychotics help?
[09.01.2024 00:12:36] A/)-Revenant: I will force myself into the cargo hold if you ca---
[09.01.2024 00:12:41] A/)-Revenant: The flask.
[09.01.2024 00:12:43] A/)-Revenant: Quickly now.
[09.01.2024 00:12:52] A/)-Revenant: Sip it.
[09.01.2024 00:13:07] Caliban: Absolute fucking troglodyte.
[09.01.2024 00:13:16] A/)-Revenant: Your hostilities are unwelcomed here.
[09.01.2024 00:13:30] A/)-Lazurith: [With haste, he reaches for the small container, pouring the contents inside his lips.]
[09.01.2024 00:14:12] A/)-Lazurith: Pweh... rrgh...
[09.01.2024 00:14:21] Caliban: It doesn't help when I see a fucking Nomad in front of the Shrine and Laz on the floor barely stringing two words.
[09.01.2024 00:14:27] A/)-Revenant: Hammurabi, what were you seeking.
[09.01.2024 00:14:45] A/)-Will-o'-Wisp: This is barbaric to make him suffer like this.
[09.01.2024 00:14:55] A/)-Lazurith: I--I've already told you. Disgust, f-for what I am. Full of metal. Not even human anymore.
[09.01.2024 00:15:00] A/)-Revenant: I see.
[09.01.2024 00:15:19] A/)-Revenant: Then we best get on with it then.
