Hana was sitting at a desk, the camera looking across it towards her. She had in front of her an info-tab; on the screen were data readouts of various scans. Each scan showed blue prints of various liner variants with key access points highlighted. She continues to look through the scans as she speaks, in a soft, quiet voice.
“It was quite the opportunity, finding those OSC Captains in Sigma-19. I had been looking for a way to gain some OSC corporate communication codes for a long time… and they were offering them on a silver platter. The temptation was too great… and the potential leverage undeniable.”
“We have already broadcast the first message. It is with great interest that we watch… waiting to see what impact it shall have. Will people take heed? Will people listen? Our next course of action will be determined from their response. Naturally, precautions now need to be taken against our immediate enemies and any potential groups that may be pulled in. Hesitation must be put aside and decisive action taken if need be; any potential human cost will be honoured.
A gentle, smile creeps out across the woman’s face as she looks to the camera.“We are ready for them.”
[23.05.2015 20:10:36] Hana.Ken: Konnichiwa *bows*
[23.05.2015 20:10:49] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Hello Miss.
[23.05.2015 20:11:12] Hana.Ken: *Gently smiles* It is a rare sight... another OSC liner in this area.
[23.05.2015 20:11:46] Hana.Ken: *frowns*... Miss Pines-san.... Mr Pines-san...?
[23.05.2015 20:12:06] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Sorry my dear, Henry Pines. At your services.
[23.05.2015 20:12:23] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: May I ask your name?
[23.05.2015 20:12:39] Hana.Ken: Ah, no issue *Smiles* Hanaken.
[23.05.2015 20:12:57] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: A pleasure.
[23.05.2015 20:13:09] Hana.Ken: *gently smiles* Quite.
[23.05.2015 20:13:31] Hana.Ken: Captain... your passengers... where are they from?
[23.05.2015 20:14:18] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Oh all walks of life miss, many are from Kusari, some from Liberty
[23.05.2015 20:14:50] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Bretonians sadly have seen much better days, what with the war on. Not much custom from New London
[23.05.2015 20:15:45] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Looking to book a cabin I assume?
[23.05.2015 20:15:55] Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow*... You unlikely know of the position you put me in, Mr Pines-san... *sighs*
[23.05.2015 20:16:51] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Position miss Hanaken?
[23.05.2015 20:17:57] Hana.Ken: Hai... Mr Pines, I am of the Sisterhood of Dreams. A small group, dedicated to help humanity... transcend from its-
[23.05.2015 20:17:59] Hana.Ken: corruptive state.
[23.05.2015 20:18:37] Hana.Ken: Yet, I cannot find it in me to threaten you and your passengers... there are too many, and I cannot speak to all of them-
[23.05.2015 20:18:40] Hana.Ken: after all
[23.05.2015 20:19:14] Brabax: Hi Freelancer
[23.05.2015 20:19:49] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Threaten? What on earth for miss?
[23.05.2015 20:20:30] Hana.Ken: *Raises an eyebrow* The corruption must be purged one way or another, and all blossoms need thorns *sigh*
[23.05.2015 20:21:19] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Ah but not all blossoms need thorns miss
[23.05.2015 20:22:06] Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow* In this dark, aggressive world... you believe pacifism can work? *curious face*
[23.05.2015 20:22:57] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: It is my business to spread a bit of peace Miss, you cannot enjoy the wonders of life down the barrel of gun.
[23.05.2015 20:24:00] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Take this magnificent vista for example, can you picture anything more spectular being marred by conflict?
[23.05.2015 20:25:22] Hana.Ken: *a deeper, curious face expression breaks across her face, and she relaxes into her flight seat* hmmm... you have an open mind.
[23.05.2015 20:25:54] Hana.Ken: and yes... *a contented smile* it is a beautiful scene.
[23.05.2015 20:26:37] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: It is indeed, one of my favourites, if I am allowed to pick of course.
[23.05.2015 20:28:05] Hana.Ken: Yet... how do such scenes come into creation? -
[23.05.2015 20:28:37] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:Hia!
[23.05.2015 20:28:38] Hana.Ken: Destruction, chaos, devastation.. whole worlds colliding in turmoil... and look what remains.
[23.05.2015 20:28:51] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Hello James
[23.05.2015 20:28:54] Hana.Ken: *waves to Kaaga* Konnichiwa
[23.05.2015 20:29:02] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:Can you stop ?
[23.05.2015 20:29:14] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Ah, another visitor
[23.05.2015 20:29:22] OSC|Atlantis: James: Just getting in from Rhineland
[23.05.2015 20:29:30] Hana.Ken: This is probably the busiest I've seen this place *chuckles*
[23.05.2015 20:30:15] OSC|Atlantis: James: Indeed, it is quite busy, glad to see one of our liners making a profit hehe
[23.05.2015 20:30:39] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Indeed, rough times for everyone
[23.05.2015 20:30:55] Hana.Ken: So.. Mr Pines... our discussion... *curious grin*
[23.05.2015 20:31:11] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Ah yes, the formation of the system
[23.05.2015 20:31:29] Hana.Ken: *shakes her head* No... the formation of a harmony.
[23.05.2015 20:32:07] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Ah yes, through chaos and destruction I believe you said?
[23.05.2015 20:32:29] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:So...what..is this talk about?
[23.05.2015 20:32:50] Hana.Ken: *nods* Hai... how can one justify pacifism when our existence is formed from such forces?
[23.05.2015 20:32:50] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: A little bit of everything from what I can gather
[23.05.2015 20:33:08] OSC|Atlantis: James: And it appears we are about to have more company
[23.05.2015 20:33:46] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Tours aren't quick things, our passengers enjoy a nice good look at what the galaxy has to offer
[23.05.2015 20:34:39] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: It is true that we come from chaos but we became truly civilised through peace
[23.05.2015 20:35:29] Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow* You call the wars between houses... the destruction of worlds... the murder of whole species...
[23.05.2015 20:35:37] Hana.Ken: 'peace'?
[23.05.2015 20:36:04] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Peace isn't always as peaceful as we'd like unfortunately
[23.05.2015 20:36:09] OSC|Atlantis: James: Peace sometimes comes at a cost, its imporant to remember that cost to have a peaceful future
[23.05.2015 20:37:19] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:Hana..I'd crush you with a hug right now if I could..
[23.05.2015 20:37:24] Hana.Ken: *discerning glare* And here you are... justifying humans destructiveness... as an end or a means?
[23.05.2015 20:37:39] Hana.Ken: *whisper toKaaga* Kaaga! Later! *smiles*
[23.05.2015 20:37:42] OSC|Atlantis: James: Not justifying anything, just mearly remembering what once was
[23.05.2015 20:38:25] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: I dare say we're a little like children in the grand scheme of things
[23.05.2015 20:38:36] Hana.Ken: *thoughtful glare* A shared consciousness... all human minds linked and living as one... a harmony of soul, spirit, body.
[23.05.2015 20:38:47] Hana.Ken: That kind of unity... then there can be peace.
[23.05.2015 20:39:11] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Peace but I'd think it would be more stagnation
[23.05.2015 20:39:27] OSC|Atlantis: James: And more happiness perhaps?
[23.05.2015 20:39:43] Hana.Ken: Stagnation? *raises an eyebrow* I'm wonder... what makes you think that?
[23.05.2015 20:40:15] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: A shared mind, all thinking the same, feeling the same. There would be no passion, no differences
[23.05.2015 20:40:50] Hana.Ken: What difference would there be from the single union your body is now? Multiple organisms... all linked together... yet it's -
[23.05.2015 20:40:50] Hana.Ken: one body?
[23.05.2015 20:41:05] Hana.Ken: Where is the difference... apart from scale?
[23.05.2015 20:41:21] OSC|Atlantis: James: Because the weak voices would be shouted over by the loud, and the loudest voice isn't always the right one
[23.05.2015 20:41:38] Hana.Ken: Even when all voices are one?
[23.05.2015 20:42:06] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: More besides, our cells are not self aware
[23.05.2015 20:42:35] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Without friction, without difference there would be no art, no music
[23.05.2015 20:42:43] Hana.Ken: Is that only our perception? Labelling them as so because they are so part of your consciousness... one doesn't know -
[23.05.2015 20:42:47] Hana.Ken: otherwise...
[23.05.2015 20:43:06] Hana.Ken: Yet... there would be peace... do you dispute this?
[23.05.2015 20:43:29] OSC|Atlantis: James: Perhaps, but I personally would want to choice my own path than that of the majority
[23.05.2015 20:44:01] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: There would be no conflict, true but what use is peace if we can't enjoy it?
[23.05.2015 20:44:41] Hana.Ken: *gently smiles* We would enjoy it as one.
[23.05.2015 20:45:22] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Would we? Who knows, we could end up more violent than we are now
[23.05.2015 20:45:46] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:You, violent? Don't make me laugh...
[23.05.2015 20:46:21] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: The sum of all of humanities anger and hate merged together, it's a frightening thought.
[23.05.2015 20:46:24] OSC|Atlantis: James: Not him the idvidual, but the whole
[23.05.2015 20:49:16] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: What was your offer Miss?
[23.05.2015 20:49:22] BD|MT.Kuro: Kaaga:Hana, did your ships got hit by Ion bolt?
[23.05.2015 20:49:23] Hana.Ken: So... the Sisterhood of Dreams wish to offer you a proposition...
[23.05.2015 20:49:53] Hana.Ken: We would like access to your OSC neuralnet TV channel... for enlightment purposes... just one channel perhaps...
[23.05.2015 20:50:17] Hana.Ken: If not... well, we will use your vessels to senda message to OSC's board.
[23.05.2015 20:50:45] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: There will be no need for that
[23.05.2015 20:51:01] OSC|Atlantis: James: Easy there on the threats, I have women and children aboard, I'm sure we can reach a favorable ending
[23.05.2015 20:51:27] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Now this channel, may I ask what you would say on it?
[23.05.2015 20:51:40] Hana.Ken: I appreciate your cargo... yet there are causes larger than us... and afterall why do you think this Dragon has offer his
[23.05.2015 20:51:47] Hana.Ken: boat to pick up innocent civilians?
[23.05.2015 20:52:18] Hana.Ken: We are not monsters.... just hands of a cause...
[23.05.2015 20:52:35] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: With all due respect miss, these liners carry several thousand passengers and crew.
[23.05.2015 20:53:05] Hana.Ken: On this channel, we wish to broadcast a Sirius-wide transmission... it's contents will be how to ascend to our...
[23.05.2015 20:53:08] Hana.Ken: enlightenment.
[23.05.2015 20:53:41] Hana.Ken: *smiles* Seems another joins the discussions...
[23.05.2015 20:54:16] OSC|Atlantis: James: Indeed, a Gaian as well
[23.05.2015 20:55:03] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: The Hawaii is indeed popular today, perhaps more so than usual.
[23.05.2015 20:55:15] OSC|Atlantis: James: Wrong sort of popularity if you ask me
[23.05.2015 20:56:00] Hana.Ken: *gentle smile* If we cooperate in this matter... no need for there to be any issue.
[23.05.2015 20:56:25] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Perhaps
[23.05.2015 20:56:49] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: I believe I can allow you a channel, for a short time.
[23.05.2015 20:57:15] Hana.Ken: *nods her head* I only request it for a short period... one or two broadcasts.
[23.05.2015 20:57:30] OSC|Atlantis: James: Is it pre-taped or are you trying to do this live?
[23.05.2015 20:57:51] Hana.Ken: Does it matter? *discerning look*
[23.05.2015 20:58:28] OSC|Atlantis: James: Well if its live you would need to travel with us back to Cortez, as its our main operation center
[23.05.2015 20:59:28] Hana.Ken: *thoughtful look and a momentary pause* Live would be best... how about the Sisterhood comes to visit sometime soon?
[23.05.2015 20:59:43] Hana.Ken: I am a cautious woman... and coming with you know sounds like a trap...
[23.05.2015 20:59:48] Hana.Ken: //*now
[23.05.2015 21:00:02] OSC|Atlantis: James: We aren't excatly in a position to threaten you
[23.05.2015 21:00:45] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: We're only a tourism company miss, as we've discussed previously, we deal in peace.
[23.05.2015 21:01:19] Hana.Ken: *Gently smiles* As do we. I'm glad we can come to an arrangement... I'll be seeing you on Curaco soon enough Gentlemen
[23.05.2015 21:01:40] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: I'm sure it will be...Interesting
[23.05.2015 21:01:53] Hana.Ken: Quite.... well, until next time
[23.05.2015 21:02:05] OSC|Atlantis: James: Indeed
[23.05.2015 21:02:10] Hana.Ken: May the stars keep you.. and safe travels *a playful grin*
[23.05.2015 21:02:16] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Until next time miss
[23.05.2015 21:02:25] OSC|Atlantis: James: Safe flying...I guess?
[23.05.2015 21:02:37] OSC|Atlantis: James: I wonder what the Gaian wants
[23.05.2015 21:03:00] GG-Oracle: Nothing from you.
[23.05.2015 21:03:08] OSC|Atlantis: James: Lucky break for us then
[23.05.2015 21:03:13] OSC|St.Lucia: Pines: Indeed
[23.05.2015 21:03:22] OSC|Atlantis: James: So boss, interesting day so far isn't it.
