ID: Lorcan Subject: Station Orgin: Ames Research Station, Kepler Connection: Dark Matter Detected
So a random observation: People around here are hilarious.
I decided I'd come back to Liberty and look around for shits and giggles. Found nothing. Boooooring.
Decided I'd head up to Kusari and see if I could find any of them geisha girls. You know, the ones in the asian clothing or what not? Headed through Kepler and came across an Order operative picking a fight with a Freelancer outside the Zoner station while a Zoner did nothing. Whatever, not any of my business. I excused myself and headed to Shikoku where I passed a fellow Freelancer after a lane disruption.
Quote:Lorcan: What's up my fellow 'lancer?
Yukiko.Murasaki: Hmph.
Lorcan: Hah.
Lorcan: Be that way.
After that touching encounter, I passed another ship, this time a GMG transport with strobing fucking lights on the hull. He didn't answer me though. Made me a bit sad, I wanted to see if he had a rave going on and whether or not I could join.
Quote:Lorcan: Holy shit, gonna have a seizure from them lights.
Lorcan: You have a rave going on in there or something?
<Silence as the ship flies away>
Lorcan: Good talk.
I decided I'd cloak the rest of the way through Kusari to be able to slip under the radar. Saw a Rogue named "Big Box" on my way which made me laugh outloud. All I could think of was "Big Pussy". The cloak overheated before I found a station named Ikarus with a scientist flying around outside and proceeded to die laughing again. They're scientists and couldn't even spell Icarus right! Remind me not to ask them for any scientific help.
After that I flew back through Coronado and back to Kepler. Ran into another Freelancer and tried being jovial.
Quote:Lorcan: What's up Caliban my man?
Caliban: And you are?
Lorcan: Just a fellow 'lancer.
Caliban: Right.
He flew away without another word. Is everyone on their period today or something? Hah. It's the "rEd WaVe".
No idea why I'm back here at Kepler, maybe I wanted to see what real scientists that can spell correctly can do. I dunno. Whatever.
Kepler fucked up my nice (stolen) GMG engines so I had to make a pit stop at Coronado for some new ones.
This just in: Radiation Bad.
I snuck through Xeno Alliance territory, made it to Coronado on one engine, and waited around for my ship to be cleared from quarantine (radiation again) before it's engines could be replaced. Soon as they were installed, I left forNew London to get a new matrix installed at Canary Wharf and left from there back to Liberty.
I was kinda hoping to antagonize someone but found space pretty clear. Did everyone take the day off after their raging PMS yesterday?
Depressing. Maybe I can find a Zoner somewhere around here to kick. They do seem like everyones favorite whipping boy.
ID: Lorcan Subject: More doses Orgin: Ames Research Station, Kepler Connection: Extreme Radiation Interference
I was low on radiation doses so I figured I'd come back to Kepler for some more...and you know, to make fun of the scientists here. Flew through from Erie and ran into some coppers at the Colorado gate. For whatever reason, they stopped me and had a chat. They grilled me on where I got my money from...if they only knew the truth of where I got it from they'd probably have shot me on sight. They don't enjoy socializing with ex-pirates or thieves.
Quote:LP-Evan.Stone: Hold on a moment. I got some questions for you.
Lorcan: Aw do I have some stalkers?
Lorcan: Oh goodie, stalkers! What's up fellas?
LP-Max.Baker: Wooah Stone.
LP-Evan.Stone: Its not everyday I see a ship like that.
LP-Max.Baker: Look at that ship.
LP-Evan.Stone: Mhm.
Lorcan: Do ye like her?
LP-Max.Baker: You must be one rich man.
LP-Evan.Stone: No, but it is unique I can say that.
Lorcan: I do pretty well for myself. [He smirks.]
LP-Evan.Stone: So, who might you be?
Lorcan: Name's Lorcan.
Lorcan: Lorcan Wilder to be more specific.
Lorcan: 'lancer extraordinaire.
LP-Evan.Stone: Ok, and what brings you to Liberty?
Lorcan: Just passin' through.
Lorcan: This an' that.
LP-Evan.Stone: Hm. And what is your profession? You seem to be well off for yourself.
Lorcan: Well, I'm a 'lancer, as I said. Pretty good at it too.
Lorcan: Worked my way to the big time.
Lorcan: I like your, uh, Patriots.
LP-Evan.Stone: Yeah? And what does "being a freelancer" entail?
Lorcan: They're very...uh...
Lorcan: Unique?
Lorcan: You guys do know what a Freelancer is right?
LP-Evan.Stone: Yeah, I'm aware.
LP-Evan.Stone: But, I'm still curious what you do.
Lorcan: I shoot stuff when people pay me. I escort poor widdle transports when they need the help.
Lorcan: Occasionally, and this is important, I'm paid just to shut up and go away.
LP-Evan.Stone: So. A mercenary. At least its not a researcher...
LP-Max.Baker: You sure have done well for yourself sir.
LP-Max.Baker: Wish I was that rich, I'd fucking retire!
Lorcan: Oh, you won't believe this...did you know there is a base in the Taus, run by scientists, that's misspelled.
Lorcan: I died laughing when I saw it on radar.
LP-Max.Baker: What??
Lorcan: Yeah, they spelled it Ikarus.
LP-Max.Baker: What's the name of it?
Lorcan: [He cracks up laughing.]
LP-Max.Baker: [Bursts out laughing]
LP-Max.Baker: Nice one!
LP-Max.Baker: Okay I'll have to leave for a few moments.
LP-Evan.Stone: Heh. Though there are plenty of weird people out there in the Taus, plenty more that probably don't know how to spell.
Lorcan: Yeah, there's plenty of weird stuff out there.
LP-Evan.Stone: I don't think I could stand seeing another scientist or researcher again.
Lorcan: Oh? They been all up in your shit lately or somethin'?
LP-Evan.Stone: You wouldn't believe the amount of weird researchers I've met in recent days.
LP-Evan.Stone: Everyone wants to study some dark matter stuff, or some weird anomolies.
Lorcan: Have you run into those Auxo guys yet?
Lorcan: Weeeeeird people.
LP-Evan.Stone: Uh. Not personally, but I have heard of them.
Lorcan: Yeah, /real/ strange people.
Lorcan: They paid me to go away. Guess I bugged them too much.
Lorcan: Asked if they had intimate relations with robots.
Lorcan: Didn't like that too much.
Lorcan: Still got paid. [He laughs again.]
LP-Evan.Stone: Yeah....I'm sure that wouldn't have gone over well.
Lorcan: Eh, for people living out in the sticks, they really don't have thick skin.
LP-Evan.Stone: Well, I've kept you long enough, Pilot you may go.
Lorcan: Alrighty them Mr. Policeman, taker er' easy.
Lorcan: [He salutes.]
LP-Evan.Stone: The LPI will keep you in mind, should work come around while your staying here.
Lorcan: Lookin' forward to it.
I made up some bullshit about meeting Auxo and me pissing them off to try to garner some sympathy from them since rumor has it Liberty aren't on good relations with them. Not sure if it worked but they appeared jovial throughout the encounter, so I took it as a success. If I ever do meet some Auxo, I'll have to remember to ask if they have intimate relations with robots and if they got any System Transmitted Diseases.
Lorcan starts cracking up for a solid minute before continuing.
Would probably get me shot but it'd be worth it. Pissing people off is one of my favorite past times. I figured it wouldn't have been beneficial to piss off the police jockeys, after all I gotta fly through there every now and then.
Anyway, gonna get some sleep and more doses of that delicious dark matter. Maybe I'll grow a second...eh, maybe not.
ID: Lorcan Subject: Weird Encounters Orgin: Thunder Bay Depot, Ontario Connection: Low Signal
Lots of weird people around today. Undocked from Ames and ran into some people talking. One of them was that Caliban guy from the other day and a couple of people chatting with him. One of them was MND? Never heard of em, though the Caliban guy mentioned Rheinland at one point so. I dunno.
Quote:Lorcan: Woah, shit. People.
Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Ah, hello!
Lorcan: In this weather?
Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Fancy ship.
Caliban: I know, right? A miracle. Can't say the MND are really people, though.
Lorcan: Thank ye. Thank ye.
Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why you hate us?
Lorcan: [Slaps the console.] She's a good ship.
Caliban: You people act more like robots than the LSF, SIS and the KOI combined.
Caliban: All protocols. So many rules.
Lorcan: Rules are for [draws a square with his fingers.]
Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Of course, we need to keep the Rheinland in safety.
Caliban: Safety, of course.
Caliban: Well you're not keeping Rheinland safe now, are you?
Lorcan: So, you guys growing a third arm yet? I keep hoping for another one with this radiation.
Lorcan: Imagine the things you could do with another arm. "Things."
Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why do you draw such a conclusion?
Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Not I, laddie. Would be kind of weird, I believe.
Lorcan: Nah. Think about it. Three beers. THREE.
Caliban: Nah, haven't grown an extra arm yet. Despite living around these parts for the past few years.
Lorcan: Or uh, totally legal beverages to drink while flying, I mean.
Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Suprised ya ain't dead yet, with all this radiation/
Lorcan: Don't arrest me Mr. Square man.
Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: What would he arrest ye fer, laddie? Ya ain't done anything.
Lorcan: Yeah...nothing wrong here. [Sips his legal beverage.]
Lorcan: Anyway this has been uhm...what's the word?
Lorcan: Boring. That's the word.
Caliban: As for the MND. Yeah, you ain't keeping it safe, cause you're all the way here.
Lorcan: I'm gonna split.
Lorcan: Enjoy the rads fellas...or ladies...fellas and ladies? I dunno. Peace.
Lorcan: Off to get a third arm!
I flew into the dark matter field, looking around for a jump hole. Found nothing and wound up doing a big circle, coming back to Ames where I saw the guys from before briefly talking and saw someone else approaching, a Liberty Navy guy. A random Freelancer in a gunboat showed up a bit after.
Quote:Lorcan: Jesus Christ, I'm back here again? Can't find my ass with both hands in this shit.
Lorcan: Oh hey a navy fly boy.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: hello
Lorcan: What's up my dude?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: nothing mostly staying away from new york
Lorcan: Oh? What's going on there?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: 2 LP think they can do what they want and calling themselfes ''Law keepers''
Lorcan: Ah, sounds about right these days.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: one shot at the jump ring and said learn maners to me
1st|Akagi.Kudo: called him a coward and fly'ed off
Lorcan: Huh. Sounds like turf wars.
Lorcan: I like turf wars.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well be warned the shoot anyone as they want to
Lorcan: Lots of money to be made there.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: they*
Lorcan: Fair enough.
Lorcan: I got enough fire power to show them what's up.
Lorcan: Bang bang, ya know? Hah.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: even in a battle againts some ruoges and others they just dissapeared and let the navy take the hits
Lorcan: Too busy with their doughnuts?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: and they called us worthless
1st|Akagi.Kudo: they are nothing
Lorcan: Oh hey another person.
Lorcan: What be up?
Lorcan: Good talk.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: yeah
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well again just keep eyes up
1st|Akagi.Kudo: they are not law keepers at all
Lorcan: I'll do that.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: one of them was a Evan and other was a Max dude
Lorcan: Oh I think I talked to them the other day.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: they dont follow laws at all
Lorcan: They were alright. I guess.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: allright?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: i more call them wrong LP's
Lorcan: Eh. They were just talking to me. Being all chatty about my ship.
Imra)Uzume: Eh, a Kusarian?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well not to the navy
Lorcan: I figured they had a crush on me or something.
Imra)Uzume: That name sounds like it's from Kusari.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: crush on your ship?
Lorcan: Yeah, most people do. She's sexy.
Lorcan: She purrs.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: oooooh its that one
Lorcan: [Pats the console.]
Lorcan: What be up Uzume?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well yeah she is
Imra)Uzume: Nothing. I am all curious.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: but well they maybe look like nice guy but not at all they killed the same guy 5 times for no reason
Lorcan: Alright, sounds like a good time.
Lorcan: How do you kill someone more than once?
Imra)Uzume: Well, Navy guy, are you really a Kusarian?
Lorcan: Wait, were they a Zombie?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: im not a fully kusarin
Imra)Uzume: I almost mistook you for a Naval Forces officer.
Then a ship popped up on scanners that read as "Auxo" and it's name, my God. It was the size of a book. They disappeared real fast afterwards and the conversation continued.
Quote:Lorcan: Jesus Tapdancing Christ is that a ship name or a book?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: my mom is and my dad is a liberty
1st|Akagi.Kudo: atleast i came here and found some nice and calm guys like you
Imra)Uzume: But then, if your dad comes from Liberty, then you should have a Libertonian last name.
Lorcan: [Lorcan sneezes.]
Imra)Uzume: Maybe your dad is of Kusarian descent, hai?
1st|Akagi.Kudo: yeah but i took my moms last name
1st|Akagi.Kudo: maybe dont know exactly
Lorcan: Yeah, I never knew my parents neither.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: yours dead?
Lorcan: I dunno. Never bothered to check.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: oh well
Lorcan: But look at me, I turned out alright.
Imra)Uzume: If anything, you should be patrolling Liberty, not chilling in a dangerous anomaly.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: that i know
1st|Akagi.Kudo: just maked a fast patrol
Lorcan: We're all just trying to grow a third arm so we can triple fist some beers.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: hahahaha
1st|Akagi.Kudo: im not a beer drinker
Lorcan: Or get superpowers. One of the two.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well i still wonder how the station is making it out here
1st|Akagi.Kudo: with the radiation
Lorcan: Zoners are resourceful people.
Lorcan: Sure they're doing alright.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: well if you say it then i have to believe it
Lorcan: Can dock to take a look if you want. They're pretty friendly for Zoners.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: how long had you traveled to find that ship exactly?
Lorcan: Had her for a couple years now.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: damn
Lorcan: Tough as nails too.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: totally
Lorcan: Well, I think I got enough radiation doses for today.
Lorcan: I'm gonna split.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: hahah thinking the same
1st|Akagi.Kudo: gonna head back to colorado
Lorcan: Take er easy there Navy.
1st|Akagi.Kudo: have fun and fun talking
Lorcan: See if I can find my damn way out of here this time...stupid dark matter.
Lots of odd people around tonight. I may have to check out New York again, sounds like some animosity between the ranks there. Would be hilarious if I could fan the flames and get them to shoot one another. Then again, might result in me getting shot at and losing potential clients.
Whatever, it's not like I need the money with my war-chest. Bonus: I finally got out of Kepler and am bunking down with some Junkers at Thunder Bay. Say what you will, these guys know how to party.
