You've been busy, havent you? Poking around, asking questions. Quite the hostile attitude since we last spoke. Times have changed, John, and while you might argue that human nature cant be changed, I in fact have. Yet, its unfortunate to hear that you'd want to end my life, as you were instrumental to changing the course of humanity. You gave us a fighting chance, in the face of impending doom, yet now you work against that.
You can't fight change, John. The past cant be undone. You can burn it, bury it, hide it and try to lose it, but it wont be forgotten. So now I ask, why? Why work against me now? What is it that you think is happening? I'd damn well like to know why one of my old friends is out for blood, so I can hopefully change your mind, before I have to do something we'd both regret.

I can't say i expected to hear from you. Still did, though. Howdy.
Poking around and asking questions is exact opposite of being busy. When i am busy, i rarely have time to check mail. But you have most probably figured that out already. I am also not entirely sure about the purport of your little lecture. Let's skip that part where i waste my time trying to give some structure and meaning - and get to your explanations. What is the real point of this? What did i do this time? What didn't i do this time? Is there anything you want, or do you have a fascinating story to tell? Don't be shy, impress me.
Oh, the automated linguistic analysis thingy also mentioned you trying to sound scary at some point. Don't do that, it gets automated linguistic analysis thingy out of mood.
This was not the response I had anticipated. Especially since Geoff has turned on me already. No matter. Were you not harassing Pierce before his untimely death? Thats what I was told and what I expected to hear about. A lecture about the gun, which you provided parts for. Looks like I was wrong. I guess I better uh, call off that mercenary.
I expected you to be significantly more hostile than this, instead you're asking for a story... Okay.
After you and I last spoke, I was out recruiting people, like I did you, so long ago. I was out in Lost having a discussion with our mutual friend, Augustin. He pointed out the flaws in my plan, and was pretty convincing. I had snapped back into reality. It seems, however, I made a mistake bringing him on to my ship. He activated the Dawnbreakers firing sequence on his way out, basically destroying the Forward Unto Dawn and the prototype, in an attempt to kill me. He almost did. Seven months later and I woke up in Omega-9, pretty damn sore. Pierce was there, as well as Stacker, whom at the time I didnt know. I pieced it together while he was talking, his demeanor had changed and his expression gave it away. I put a round through his neck.
So yeah, he's dead.
After that, I continued where I left off, with his resources under my control. The only thing thats changed is our intention. Preservation of life, survival of humanity, not by force. You can't fight human nature, as two disagreeing parties will always try to kill each other at some point. A few days ago, the station was destroyed by a Corsair strike force, so we got out of there. Now, I've divided our assets between Omicron Theta, and Bretonia, to aid in the defense of Point Delta's activation.
I'd also like to include that I'm more machine than man, now.
So, where does that put you, huh? Are you still going to help me, or will you side with Geoff and attempt to destroy our best chance at surviving the oncoming onslaught?
