Location: Perth Station, Edinburgh.
Sender: Agent J. Skirka To: SIS Control
A most eventful day today that quite honestly has taken me by surprise for the sheer number of developments. First and foremost is the encounters that were had in the Edinburgh system, particularly with the Oracle Agent Wright mentioned a few days ago. As a result of his being in a restricted zone and more than a few alarming indicators about one of our own I have placed him under arrest and transferred him to our facility on New London where he is awaiting interrogation.
In addition I also encountered a Madame Emilie-Sophie de Belmont, Gallic Royal Navy. I had an unusually cordial conversation with her and I believe, if one plays their hand right, she might be able to be turned to our side. Although I don't hold much hope given her....jaded outlook on life. Nevertheless I will pursue this line of inquiry all the same.
Following from these encountered I briefly observed Belmont talking to a pirate before being joined by Agent Derek Trowne in the Orkney system where we proceeded into the Tau-61 system. This comes from the Kusarians mentioning reports of strange ships in the region, however we encountered an drone flying Auxesian colours and two inidentified ships that were polite, but cold. I engaged all three in rigorous conversation while Agent Trowne mapped the system to the best of his ability.
The southern cloud is to be avoided if at all possible.
[25.08.2022 10:43:51] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Looking for something, Bretonian?
[25.08.2022 10:43:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well well.
[25.08.2022 10:44:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: How very familiar.
[25.08.2022 10:44:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A Gallic Royalist.
[25.08.2022 10:44:20] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I'll give you a one-time offer, in the memory of good old times.
[25.08.2022 10:44:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh?
[25.08.2022 10:44:41] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Contribute to our inevitable victory and I'll close my eyes on your presence.
[25.08.2022 10:44:51] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: The contribution of your choosing, even!
[25.08.2022 10:44:55] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: How does that sound?
[25.08.2022 10:45:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're going to have to explain a few things because quite honestly I have no idea what you're talking about.
[25.08.2022 10:45:22] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The war is over.
[25.08.2022 10:45:38] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: It's never truly over.
[25.08.2022 10:45:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What 'inevitable victory'?
[25.08.2022 10:45:49] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: It's just a fancy facade posed by your house of peers.
[25.08.2022 10:45:52] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Or parliament.
[25.08.2022 10:46:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Same thing.
[25.08.2022 10:46:03] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Or whatever you call that bunch of old douchebags, really.
[25.08.2022 10:46:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And you are?
[25.08.2022 10:46:30] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: It's odd you don't remember me.
[25.08.2022 10:46:40] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Because I certainly remember *you*.
[25.08.2022 10:46:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh?
[25.08.2022 10:46:50] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I didn't offend did I?
[25.08.2022 10:47:04] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I wouldn't say you did.
[25.08.2022 10:47:17] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then please, remind me. I've been away you see.
[25.08.2022 10:47:22] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But we might've crossed in combat during the 'invasion'.
[25.08.2022 10:47:33] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Ah
[25.08.2022 10:47:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That's a shame
[25.08.2022 10:47:41] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: The Battle of New London. I used to be with the Marine Royale, you see.
[25.08.2022 10:47:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And here I was hoping for an 'encounter' at the pub.
[25.08.2022 10:48:08] [SIS]-James.Skirka: No such luck eh.
[25.08.2022 10:48:11] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Perhaps, in some other universe we did.
[25.08.2022 10:48:17] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But not here, for good or bad.
[25.08.2022 10:48:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Perhaps in this one we might still, the future is never certain
[25.08.2022 10:48:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But something tells me not today.
[25.08.2022 10:48:44] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Perhaps, you never know how the tide turns.
[25.08.2022 10:48:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Your name sir?
[25.08.2022 10:48:58] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I used to tag along with the Rogues for a bit, can you believe this?
[25.08.2022 10:49:03] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Sir, huh.
[25.08.2022 10:49:05] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: He-he...
[25.08.2022 10:49:08] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Non-non-non.
[25.08.2022 10:49:19] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Madame Emilie-Sophie de Belmont.
[25.08.2022 10:49:32] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Ah....
[25.08.2022 10:49:47] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh shit.
[25.08.2022 10:49:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You
[25.08.2022 10:50:00] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Memories coming back now, m-m?.
[25.08.2022 10:50:05] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Apologies for my langauge madam but....I thought you died.
[25.08.2022 10:50:16] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Many thought so, too.
[25.08.2022 10:50:23] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: There's been moments I believed myself dead, too.
[25.08.2022 10:50:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What the hell are you doing here?
[25.08.2022 10:50:36] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But you see... I'm quite resourceful.
[25.08.2022 10:50:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Apparently.
[25.08.2022 10:50:42] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Oh, me?
[25.08.2022 10:50:49] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Down to the old habits, I suppose.
[25.08.2022 10:51:03] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What you got bored in your new Republic?
[25.08.2022 10:51:15] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: "New Republic".
[25.08.2022 10:51:26] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That's all bullshit for an unwary eye.
[25.08.2022 10:51:35] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And yes, I was quite damn bored.
[25.08.2022 10:51:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Again, I have not kept up with politics, would you be kind enough to fill me in?
[25.08.2022 10:52:01] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Where's the thrill of the hunt in chasing down half-ass trained terrorists?
[25.08.2022 10:52:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: For an honourable solider such as yourself? None.
[25.08.2022 10:52:33] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Precisely.
[25.08.2022 10:52:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Where is the honour if your prey cannot fight back.
[25.08.2022 10:52:52] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: There isn't any.
[25.08.2022 10:53:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So you've come back here eh?
[25.08.2022 10:53:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Bretonia, where it all began and ended.
[25.08.2022 10:53:15] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And you know what? Many believe the royalists still rule Gallia from shadows.
[25.08.2022 10:53:22] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Under the guise of that 'Republic'.
[25.08.2022 10:53:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What do you believe?
[25.08.2022 10:53:43] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Do I look like I give a slightest damn about politics?
[25.08.2022 10:53:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yes, actually.
[25.08.2022 10:53:56] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: M-hm.
[25.08.2022 10:53:59] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Well, listen then.
[25.08.2022 10:54:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Listening.
[25.08.2022 10:54:27] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I believe the royalists still have quite some influence in the house. I'm sure you're familiar with the Duchy of Burgundy.
[25.08.2022 10:54:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I am.
[25.08.2022 10:54:41] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Now merged with the rest of splinters.
[25.08.2022 10:54:59] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But it's my belief they're retaining a good share of their influence still.
[25.08.2022 10:55:17] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Hardline conservators true to *some* ideas of Charles.
[25.08.2022 10:55:23] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Maybe bar the genocidal war...
[25.08.2022 10:55:50] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I tried hunting down De Chanteloup herself, you knew?
[25.08.2022 10:55:50] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And you side with them? Or agree with them?
[25.08.2022 10:55:56] [SIS]-James.Skirka: How'd that go?
[25.08.2022 10:56:10] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Unsuccessful. Bitch vanished before I got my hands on her.
[25.08.2022 10:56:17] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But I suppose she's dead either way.
[25.08.2022 10:56:23] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Just regret it wasn't me who choked her.
[25.08.2022 10:56:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Maybe
[25.08.2022 10:56:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But I think you've done enough killing to last a lifetime.
[25.08.2022 10:57:01] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That's where you're not wrong.
[25.08.2022 10:57:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So why are you here?
[25.08.2022 10:57:31] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: See what Bretonia's got to offer.
[25.08.2022 10:57:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: In terms of....what exactly?
[25.08.2022 10:57:55] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: After all, you've earned yourselves quite the reputation during the war.
[25.08.2022 10:58:06] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Enduring against all odds.
[25.08.2022 10:58:10] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Fighting to the bitter end.
[25.08.2022 10:58:17] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And overcoming it all.
[25.08.2022 10:58:21] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Would you not do the same?
[25.08.2022 10:58:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Have you not already?
[25.08.2022 10:58:38] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: When it comes to my home? I'd absolutely would.
[25.08.2022 10:58:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then we are not so different
[25.08.2022 10:58:50] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That's part of why I'm wearing the colors you see.
[25.08.2022 10:59:05] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Challenge. Some real competition.
[25.08.2022 10:59:11] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The colours of a dead king and an idea long forgotten that fought a war that is over.
[25.08.2022 10:59:27] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That might be true.
[25.08.2022 10:59:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Many things you were, foolish was never one of them
[25.08.2022 10:59:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're not here looking to 'challenge' anyone
[25.08.2022 10:59:49] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're trying to find something
[25.08.2022 11:00:06] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Would you happen to know what it is I'm seeking?
[25.08.2022 11:00:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yourself. Or at least the part of you that was around when you first started fighting
[25.08.2022 11:00:55] Israfel-Alep: Oh, hello, gents
[25.08.2022 11:01:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Son of a bitch...
[25.08.2022 11:01:06] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The Oracle.
[25.08.2022 11:01:13] Israfel-Alep: Me, myself and my person.
[25.08.2022 11:01:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: There is a price on your head
[25.08.2022 11:01:16] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: The Oracle? The hell's that?
[25.08.2022 11:01:16] Israfel-Alep: Price?
[25.08.2022 11:01:24] Israfel-Alep: Who's paying?
[25.08.2022 11:01:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A nomad worshiper apparently.
[25.08.2022 11:01:30] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Steiner.
[25.08.2022 11:01:35] Israfel-Alep: Huuuh?
[25.08.2022 11:01:43] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Those fuckin' aliens, huh?
[25.08.2022 11:01:48] Israfel-Alep: That's a fast zero to hundred,
[25.08.2022 11:01:51] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: How insane one's gotta be to worship that?
[25.08.2022 11:01:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You were spotted at a certain area that you really shouldn't have been in.
[25.08.2022 11:02:04] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Well, Skirka.
[25.08.2022 11:02:08] Israfel-Alep: Hmm.
[25.08.2022 11:02:11] [SIS]-James.Skirka: My Lady?
[25.08.2022 11:02:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Am I wrong?
[25.08.2022 11:02:16] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: In a spirit of being old acquaintances...
[25.08.2022 11:02:24] Israfel-Alep: And he didn't bother sending a message, what a shame indeed.
[25.08.2022 11:02:25] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I'll let you pursue this one at your heart's content.
[25.08.2022 11:02:33] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I have a proposal my lady
[25.08.2022 11:02:38] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That is?
st.[25.08.2022 11:03:11] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Inside Leeds you will find a poor excuse for a station that is essentially a freeport. If you would like to become reaquainted
[25.08.2022 11:03:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Meet me there.
[25.08.2022 11:03:24] Israfel-Alep: I'm pretty sure I told him I was a 'former' Oracle. Hmm.
[25.08.2022 11:03:25] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I'll think about it.
[25.08.2022 11:03:36] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But odds are high I'd be there.
[25.08.2022 11:03:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I look forward to it.
[25.08.2022 11:03:54] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I'm quite curious to get... re-acquainted with the local ongoings. Haven't been around for long.
[25.08.2022 11:04:01] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: What was it... three years now?
[25.08.2022 11:04:05] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yeah.
[25.08.2022 11:04:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Something like that.
[25.08.2022 11:04:13] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Time flies.
[25.08.2022 11:04:20] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yet
[25.08.2022 11:04:32] [SIS]-James.Skirka: It is not as enjoyable as it would have been in your company.
[25.08.2022 11:04:46] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Aw-w. You're flattering me.
[25.08.2022 11:04:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I try my best
[25.08.2022 11:05:03] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That's one thing I like about Bretonians.
[25.08.2022 11:05:08] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Gentelmen, always.
[25.08.2022 11:05:12] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Even with a sworn enemy.
[25.08.2022 11:05:21] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Welcome to the SIS
[25.08.2022 11:05:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Now Oracle.
[25.08.2022 11:05:30] Israfel-Alep: I'm still here.
[25.08.2022 11:05:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Come here
[25.08.2022 11:05:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Stop lingering
[25.08.2022 11:05:51] Israfel-Alep: Well, as you wish.
[25.08.2022 11:06:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I have questions.
[25.08.2022 11:06:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And you have answers.
[25.08.2022 11:06:07] Israfel-Alep: Sure.
[25.08.2022 11:06:20] Israfel-Alep: Well, then?
[25.08.2022 11:06:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What the bloody hell possessed you to come to Bretonia?
[25.08.2022 11:07:05] Israfel-Alep: I literally own a capsule hotel on Carlisle. Business affairs.
[25.08.2022 11:07:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yeah right...And Caliban?
[25.08.2022 11:07:23] Israfel-Alep: what
[25.08.2022 11:07:35] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Don't play coy, he's already dobbed you in.
[25.08.2022 11:07:39] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Caliban? Sounds like a stupid alias.
[25.08.2022 11:07:49] Israfel-Alep: D- don't tell me my paranoia was right
[25.08.2022 11:07:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What paranoia?
[25.08.2022 11:08:09] Israfel-Alep: I had no fucking proof it was him
[25.08.2022 11:08:16] Israfel-Alep: Aaah, alright
[25.08.2022 11:08:16] [SIS]-James.Skirka: WHO MAN?!
[25.08.2022 11:08:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Spit it out!
[25.08.2022 11:08:43] Israfel-Alep: The man who met me in Newcastle. What name did he pick as alias?.. Let me chack.
[25.08.2022 11:09:11] [SIS]-James.Skirka: *sigh* And this was turning into such a problem free patrol....
[25.08.2022 11:09:19] Israfel-Alep: Dexter Wright?
[25.08.2022 11:09:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So what do you know?
[25.08.2022 11:09:52] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I'm not trying to murder you, so I'm definitely *not* a problem, alright?...
[25.08.2022 11:10:03] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You are a pleasure
[25.08.2022 11:10:28] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And you sound a bit like a cupid. That's almost adorable.
[25.08.2022 11:10:33] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I try
[25.08.2022 11:10:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Anyhow.
[25.08.2022 11:10:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Alep.
[25.08.2022 11:10:44] Israfel-Alep: Where do I even begin to not compromise the entire thing?
[25.08.2022 11:10:53] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Let me put it this way
[25.08.2022 11:11:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You either tell me, or I split your mind open back at headquaters.
[25.08.2022 11:11:09] Israfel-Alep: Mhm?
[25.08.2022 11:11:16] Israfel-Alep: Oh, you're no fun.
[25.08.2022 11:11:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I can be
[25.08.2022 11:11:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But not when Nomads are involved.
[25.08.2022 11:12:22] Israfel-Alep: Listen, do you mind if I tell you confidentially?
[25.08.2022 11:12:33] Israfel-Alep: This is no casual talk, after all.
[25.08.2022 11:12:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Sure.
[25.08.2022 11:13:26] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Look, I'm totally trustworthy and good at keeping secrets.
[25.08.2022 11:14:06] Israfel-Alep: I know who he is. Problem is revealing his identity will lead to catastrophic consequences.
[25.08.2022 11:14:18] Israfel-Alep: Not for Nomads, not for me either.
[25.08.2022 11:14:21] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: Sombra_del_Tigre
[25.08.2022 11:14:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I think this is for your own safety love.
[25.08.2022 11:14:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Why? What will happen?
[25.08.2022 11:15:11] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: You should know best I can handle myself.
[25.08.2022 11:15:17] Israfel-Alep: Ever heard that thoughts and ideas can be contagious?
[25.08.2022 11:15:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You should know that I would rather you didn't have to.
[25.08.2022 11:15:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: No, not really
[25.08.2022 11:16:14] Israfel-Alep: In our case the outbreak will lead to a lot of incidents with completely uncontrollable enemies popping up everywhere
[25.08.2022 11:16:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Fuck it.
[25.08.2022 11:16:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Right that's it.
[25.08.2022 11:16:29] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Fine. I'll play along this time.
[25.08.2022 11:16:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're under arrest. Obviously.
[25.08.2022 11:16:51] Israfel-Alep: I can play along, sure.
[25.08.2022 11:17:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Go to Cambridge, contact a man Called Zachary Statham. I'll inform him your coming.
[25.08.2022 11:17:30] Israfel-Alep: Sure thing.
[25.08.2022 11:17:39] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We will get to the bottom of this, there has never once been a case of infection in the SIS
[25.08.2022 11:17:47] [SIS]-James.Skirka: There sure as hell won't be one of my watch.
[25.08.2022 11:17:50] Israfel-Alep: Uh, no, not infection.
[25.08.2022 11:17:51] Israfel-Alep: Hahah
[25.08.2022 11:18:00] Israfel-Alep: It's worse
[25.08.2022 11:18:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh good.
[25.08.2022 11:18:08] Israfel-Alep: It's not under anyone's control
[25.08.2022 11:18:16] Israfel-Alep: Not me, not K'Hara, not Vagrants
[25.08.2022 11:18:17] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then we need information.
[25.08.2022 11:18:34] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Eh. I suppose I'll leave you two to your own devices.
[25.08.2022 11:18:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Were done
[25.08.2022 11:18:47] Israfel-Alep: See you, ma'am
[25.08.2022 11:19:01] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Au Revoir.
[25.08.2022 11:19:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Right
[25.08.2022 11:19:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Start talking
[25.08.2022 11:19:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //Sorry cuz, didn't plan this one.
[25.08.2022 11:19:46] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: // No worries.
[25.08.2022 11:20:00] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: // I was prepared for a fight, tbh.
[25.08.2022 11:20:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //And you got a date instead, how tragic.
[25.08.2022 11:20:42] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: // Not *that* tragic if you ask me. I prefer roleplay over shootouts anyway.
[25.08.2022 11:20:44] Israfel-Alep: I know you're on edge but there's little I can say without compromising the effort to solve the problem.
[25.08.2022 11:21:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //Then how fortunate you'll have a comm coming your way.
[25.08.2022 11:21:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What do you mean?
[25.08.2022 11:21:52] Israfel-Alep: Hmm. How do I make a hint without making any spoilers?..
[25.08.2022 11:22:05] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Spoilers imply something is going to happen
[25.08.2022 11:22:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And if this 'something' isn't under anyones control that suggests it's bad.
[25.08.2022 11:22:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So yes, I'm a little on fucking edge.
[25.08.2022 11:23:00] Israfel-Alep: Mere awareness of coming events implies high risk of contamination.
[25.08.2022 11:23:16] Tip: Did you end up lost? Can't find your way back? Use the Interactive NavMap on our forums.
[25.08.2022 11:23:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh and you're contaminated?
[25.08.2022 11:23:46] Israfel-Alep: Not yet. Not if I avoid getting directrly involved.
[25.08.2022 11:24:06] Israfel-Alep: //directly
[25.08.2022 11:24:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So what happens if one is contaminated/
[25.08.2022 11:24:15] Israfel-Alep: Neverending deathsquads.
[25.08.2022 11:24:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So Caliban?
[25.08.2022 11:25:10] Israfel-Alep: No, Caliban is just one of those aware. Maybe one day he makes a big mistake and gets contaminated.
[25.08.2022 11:25:16] Israfel-Alep: Maybe not.
[25.08.2022 11:25:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Right.
[25.08.2022 11:25:59] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //brb, bathroom, sorry.
[25.08.2022 11:29:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: //back
[25.08.2022 11:29:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: One moment.
[25.08.2022 11:30:01] Israfel-Alep: Mhm.
[25.08.2022 11:31:06] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Come with me
[25.08.2022 11:31:12] Israfel-Alep: The best solution is to involve the bare minimum of people. We cannot risk everyone getting on the hit list.
[25.08.2022 11:31:19] Israfel-Alep: Coming.
[25.08.2022 11:31:32] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The hour is far later than you think
[25.08.2022 11:31:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Many people are already involved, including the director.
[25.08.2022 11:31:54] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You offer us insight
[25.08.2022 11:31:58] Israfel-Alep: How... Why?
[25.08.2022 11:32:01] Israfel-Alep: When?
[25.08.2022 11:32:12] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I don't know the details exactly.
[25.08.2022 11:32:16] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: CPW-Urengoy
[25.08.2022 11:32:18] Israfel-Alep: Jesus Christ
[25.08.2022 11:33:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oracle Israfel I hearby place you under arrest in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, and do place you under the protection-
[25.08.2022 11:33:04] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Of the SIS
[25.08.2022 11:33:41] Israfel-Alep: I sure hope you're bluffing.
[25.08.2022 11:33:59] Israfel-Alep: That would honestly be better.
[25.08.2022 11:34:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oracle Israfel I hereby place you under arrest in the name Her Majesty the Queen and place you under the protection-
[25.08.2022 11:34:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Of the SIS.
[25.08.2022 11:34:41] Israfel-Alep: Hmm. Alright.
[25.08.2022 11:34:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You will be moved to a secure location and questioned about what exactly you know.
[25.08.2022 11:35:55] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Director Steiner will no doubt need to hear what you have to say but if what you tell me is true
[25.08.2022 11:36:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: then we cannot have him directly involved.
[25.08.2022 11:36:41] Israfel-Alep: We can't really have anyone involved other than the present party.
[25.08.2022 11:36:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You and Caliban.
[25.08.2022 11:37:14] Israfel-Alep: I'm more of an observer.
[25.08.2022 11:37:21] Israfel-Alep: What Caliban is is beyond me
[25.08.2022 11:37:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Then your observations will be useful to us.
[25.08.2022 11:38:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: New London has been informed
[25.08.2022 11:39:18] Israfel-Alep: I can only offer you limited time, though
[25.08.2022 11:39:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That, I fear, is the truth.
[25.08.2022 11:39:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A team of agents will meet you on the deck.
[25.08.2022 11:39:48] Israfel-Alep: Mhm
[25.08.2022 11:39:57] Israfel-Alep: So, New London proper?
[25.08.2022 11:40:02] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Aye
[25.08.2022 11:40:06] 2022-08-25 11:40:03 SMT Traffic control alert: Israfel-Alep has requested to dock
[25.08.2022 11:40:07] Israfel-Alep: See you
[25.08.2022 11:40:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yes
[25.08.2022 11:50:49] Nenet.Mido: I got a ship through them some time ago.
[25.08.2022 11:51:05] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Then again, the only influx of veterans Confederal military ever got was the Enclave fugitives.
[25.08.2022 11:51:07] Nenet.Mido: By through, I mean vaguely visiting a station and getting in contact with the local thugs.
[25.08.2022 11:51:28] Nenet.Mido: Must be a hell of a party up there.
[25.08.2022 11:51:29] Preparing to cloak...
[25.08.2022 11:51:49] Cloaking device on
[25.08.2022 11:51:51] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Must be. Haven't been there in a while.
[25.08.2022 11:51:58] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: But I plan on going on a tour, too.
[25.08.2022 11:52:02] Nenet.Mido: Is it on your list-
[25.08.2022 11:52:07] Nenet.Mido: Guess that's a yes.
[25.08.2022 11:52:16] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: You guessed it right.
[25.08.2022 11:52:40] Nenet.Mido: Could have sworn I've seen something on the radar for a couple of minutes.
[25.08.2022 11:52:48] Nenet.Mido: Bingo.
[25.08.2022 11:52:50] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: You did. And I did, too.
[25.08.2022 11:52:58] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And now there's EM emissions.
[25.08.2022 11:53:03] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: James, James, James...
[25.08.2022 11:53:06] Nenet.Mido: You can come out and spare me the misery of having to listen to these fucking beeps.
[25.08.2022 11:53:12] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: ...eavesdropping is impolite.
[25.08.2022 11:53:16] Cloaking device off
[25.08.2022 11:53:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You cannot blame me for trying my dear.
[25.08.2022 11:53:32] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I won't.
[25.08.2022 11:53:51] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Nothing interesting going on here anyway.
[25.08.2022 11:53:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And yet another wanderer, my my Edinburgh is busy today.
[25.08.2022 11:54:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: How goes the day stranger?
[25.08.2022 11:54:24] Nenet.Mido: I'm afraid I didn't buy a tourism license or any sort.
[25.08.2022 11:54:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: None required.
[25.08.2022 11:54:37] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: You don't need a license to go on a tour.
[25.08.2022 11:54:45] Nenet.Mido: My other excuse was leaving it on Gaia.
[25.08.2022 11:54:59] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: ...good one.
[25.08.2022 11:54:59] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Apparently Gaia is no longer inhabited
[25.08.2022 11:55:03] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What happened?
[25.08.2022 11:55:05] Nenet.Mido: Not that I ever visited the place, but that shouldn't be a concern.
[25.08.2022 11:55:13] Nenet.Mido: Aren't you the agent?
[25.08.2022 11:55:25] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Gaians went haywire and deployed some organic-devouring bacteria.
[25.08.2022 11:55:35] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Recently returned from...over the hills.
[25.08.2022 11:55:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The what, the Gaians?!
[25.08.2022 11:55:42] Nenet.Mido: Only eats humans from what I know.
[25.08.2022 11:55:50] Nenet.Mido: Sheesh.
[25.08.2022 11:55:59] Nenet.Mido: How did they even let you back in?
[25.08.2022 11:56:02] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I heard about eating... well, flesh in general.
[25.08.2022 11:56:06] Nenet.Mido: It was all the news for a long while.
[25.08.2022 11:56:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Rheinland does not care about Bretonian news
[25.08.2022 11:56:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I wonder what possessed them to do that.
[25.08.2022 11:56:47] Nenet.Mido: A planet becoming uninhabitable is a big enough news.
[25.08.2022 11:57:08] [SIS]-James.Skirka: It's Bretonia, planets are rendered uninhabitable every other week.
[25.08.2022 11:57:21] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: "We can't save it, so let's destroy it's ecosystem instead!"
[25.08.2022 11:57:24] Nenet.Mido: Yeah, fish and chips tend to do that.
[25.08.2022 11:57:30] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Something among those lines.
[25.08.2022 11:57:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So, the Gaians finally lost the plot
[25.08.2022 11:57:56] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well it was always going to happen, them mushrooms and all.
[25.08.2022 11:58:02] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Lost their minds, rat
[25.08.2022 11:58:06] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: *rather.
[25.08.2022 11:58:11] Nenet.Mido: I think they employed a little more precision than that.
[25.08.2022 11:58:25] Nenet.Mido: But, I'm not a biologist, nor do I know much about flora and fauna.
[25.08.2022 11:58:29] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Did they make an announcment?
[25.08.2022 11:58:43] Nenet.Mido: If you go far back enough in the news, probably.
[25.08.2022 11:58:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'll check
[25.08.2022 11:59:08] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Although I dare say the BBC has declined in their standards.
[25.08.2022 11:59:13] Nenet.Mido: Just harass one flying around, should be good enough.
[25.08.2022 11:59:30] Nenet.Mido: Yeah, those battlecruisers don't shoot like they used to.
[25.08.2022 11:59:34] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Just like any mass media degrades over time.
[25.08.2022 11:59:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Why harrass when you can get someone else to do it for you?
[25.08.2022 11:59:57] Nenet.Mido: Same thing.
[25.08.2022 12:00:03] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Like that Zoner?
[25.08.2022 12:00:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: *Laughs* I suppose it is.
[25.08.2022 12:00:12] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: His bucket seems good enough for harassment.
[25.08.2022 12:00:23] [SIS]-James.Skirka: He....won't be a problem for a while.
[25.08.2022 12:00:38] Nenet.Mido: Did you go on bullying the local Zoners?
[25.08.2022 12:00:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Not usually
[25.08.2022 12:00:54] Nenet.Mido: On this particular instance.
[25.08.2022 12:00:56] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: This is an exceptional case.
[25.08.2022 12:01:06] Nenet.Mido: I don't care about your history involving untamed Zoners.
[25.08.2022 12:01:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Not to seem rude
[25.08.2022 12:01:25] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But I didn't catch your name sir./
[25.08.2022 12:01:28] Nenet.Mido: Too late, you came here cloaked.
[25.08.2022 12:01:34] Nenet.Mido: That's as rude as it gets.
[25.08.2022 12:01:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Hm, perhaps you are right.
[25.08.2022 12:01:55] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Oh, come on. We've both *seen* him coming.
[25.08.2022 12:01:56] Nenet.Mido: At least by my standards.
[25.08.2022 12:02:11] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: James, dear, next time - lower your eyes to the radar before you cloak.
[25.08.2022 12:02:13] Nenet.Mido: Doesn't matter, I'm still going to guilt trip him.
[25.08.2022 12:02:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I don't feel guilty though
[25.08.2022 12:02:41] Nenet.Mido: Same thing you said in court for harassing Zoners.
[25.08.2022 12:02:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I did as anyone would do in a place considered....unfriendly
[25.08.2022 12:02:42] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: That nebula provides about ten clicks detection range with standart-grade scanners.
[25.08.2022 12:03:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I get the feeling that this...person, I don't know his name, does not like Bretonia all that much.
[25.08.2022 12:03:45] Nenet.Mido: Nenet. And I don't happen to be the a sir.
[25.08.2022 12:03:51] Nenet.Mido: But I'm fairly certain it's displayed.
[25.08.2022 12:03:53] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I believe they hate me more. Or Royalists in general.
[25.08.2022 12:04:08] Nenet.Mido: I honestly don't care about either all that much.
[25.08.2022 12:04:41] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And yet here I am not hating either of you.
[25.08.2022 12:04:53] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Right.
[25.08.2022 12:05:05] Nenet.Mido: Wouldn't be wise in contested waters.
[25.08.2022 12:05:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: No, that's what I thought
[25.08.2022 12:05:20] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But in this case, it also happens to be true.
[25.08.2022 12:05:22] Nenet.Mido: A Gaian would show up to chain you to a tree or something along those lines.
[25.08.2022 12:05:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: HA
[25.08.2022 12:05:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Gaians are many things, but frightening is not something that comes to mind.
[25.08.2022 12:05:55] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Besides...
[25.08.2022 12:06:04] Nenet.Mido: Recent ones sound fanatical enough.
[25.08.2022 12:06:06] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: ...did you, in clear state of mind, see trees flying in space?
[25.08.2022 12:06:29] Nenet.Mido: That's up for them to bring one.
[25.08.2022 12:06:33] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: I only did once.
[25.08.2022 12:06:40] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: A tree in a pot, orbiting a sun.
[25.08.2022 12:06:48] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Can't think where.
[25.08.2022 12:07:10] Nenet.Mido: I've seen such a few times, but those were biodome failures in most cases.
[25.08.2022 12:07:36] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: My case couldn't be explained with a biodome. It was a living tree, which is practically impossible.
[25.08.2022 12:07:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well it couldn't have been Leeds.
[25.08.2022 12:07:59] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: And as I checked, there's been no biodomes in vicinity either.
[25.08.2022 12:08:18] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Non, that was further north in the Taus...
[25.08.2022 12:08:28] Nenet.Mido: Weird.
[25.08.2022 12:09:27] Nenet.Mido: I've seen some left in Synthfoods containers.
[25.08.2022 12:09:39] Nenet.Mido: Thus, they were probably faaar away from a tree, and closer to paste.
[25.08.2022 12:09:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well ladies, it has been a pleasure. But I'm afraid I must be moving on.
[25.08.2022 12:09:57] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Lady Mido, Lady Belmont.
[25.08.2022 12:10:16] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: A busy agent must always remain on the move.
[25.08.2022 12:10:16] Nenet.Mido: Don't forget your parking break.
[25.08.2022 12:10:20] 27th|E-S.De.Belmont.: Au Revoir, James.
[25.08.2022 12:10:26] Nenet.Mido: Later.
[25.08.2022 12:10:30] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'll be in touch.
[25.08.2022 12:10:41] Nenet.Mido: I'll get a restraining order.

[25.08.2022 12:57:47] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: More one Planet inospit: Tresta
[25.08.2022 12:57:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: copy
[25.08.2022 12:58:27] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: Lh to Roussilon in my scanner
[25.08.2022 12:58:35] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Aw hell
[25.08.2022 12:58:37] "Beep": Hello!
[25.08.2022 12:58:41] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: Auxo Beep, halt
[25.08.2022 12:58:48] "Beep": Beep does not move!
[25.08.2022 12:59:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well that....isn't great
[25.08.2022 12:59:07] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: what do you going here
[25.08.2022 12:59:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What do you want?
[25.08.2022 12:59:28] "Beep": Beep does not want anything. Beep was trying to return to Kusari. Beep did nothing wrong!
[25.08.2022 12:59:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're a little far out to be 'lost'
[25.08.2022 12:59:49] "Beep": Beep is not lost.
[25.08.2022 13:00:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Hopewell you are by far the most interesting person I've be you know that?
[25.08.2022 13:00:02] "Beep": Beep was exploring the Tau systems. That is Beep's purpose!
[25.08.2022 13:00:26] "Beep": Beep did not expect to find Bretonians here.
[25.08.2022 13:00:32] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Oh so you're returning to Kusari and now you're exploring...the fuck?
[25.08.2022 13:00:56] "Beep": Indeed. Beep was exploring, with the secondary goal to return to Kusari.
[25.08.2022 13:01:07] [SIS]-James.Skirka: If you're going to lie, at least be consistent
[25.08.2022 13:01:20] "Beep": Beep is not programmed to lie. This would be offending entities.
[25.08.2022 13:01:37] [SIS]-James.Skirka: What do you mean 'Programmed'?
[25.08.2022 13:01:55] "Beep": Beep is short for Benevolent Engineered Excessed Product.
[25.08.2022 13:02:13] "Beep": Beep's primary mission is to explore and meet entities.
[25.08.2022 13:02:22] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're a spy...
[25.08.2022 13:02:26] "Beep": Beep tries not to offend entities.
[25.08.2022 13:02:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're a polite spy..
[25.08.2022 13:02:46] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But a spy
[25.08.2022 13:03:02] "Beep": Beep tries to be polite, but what makes James Skirka assume Beep to be a spy?
[25.08.2022 13:03:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Auxesia
[25.08.2022 13:03:19] "Beep": Beep understands.
[25.08.2022 13:03:38] "Beep": Beep assumes Beep is about to get forced into a combat situation?
[25.08.2022 13:04:01] [SIS]-James.Skirka: No
[25.08.2022 13:04:07] "Beep": This relieves Beep.
[25.08.2022 13:04:17] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You can't be 'relieved'
[25.08.2022 13:04:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're a machine
[25.08.2022 13:04:21] "Beep": Beep would have fled, otherwise, as Beep is not suited for combat.
[25.08.2022 13:04:30] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Trowne, carry on
[25.08.2022 13:04:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'll deal with the...thing
[25.08.2022 13:04:41] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: Mr.Beep, you can speak the trhuth and do well
[25.08.2022 13:05:04] "Beep": Beep usually speaks the truth. Beep has no reason not to do so.
[25.08.2022 13:05:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: So...you're a diplomat?
[25.08.2022 13:05:19] "Beep": Lying would be an offense in interaction.
[25.08.2022 13:05:33] "Beep": Beep is not a diplomat. Beep is polite, though!
[25.08.2022 13:06:20] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I don't know what to do here
[25.08.2022 13:06:28] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Trowne, what do you think?
[25.08.2022 13:06:38] "Beep": Beep can explain Beep's laws, if James Skirka prefers?
[25.08.2022 13:06:53] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: we can make prisioner Beep
[25.08.2022 13:07:06] "Beep": Beep would prefer not to be a prisoner!
[25.08.2022 13:07:17] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Explain these laws
[25.08.2022 13:07:28] "Beep": Beep operates under the following laws:
[25.08.2022 13:07:49] "Beep": Beep Law 1: SAFEGUARD - Beep will safeguard and protect Technocracy of Auxo assets and allies.
[25.08.2022 13:07:52] "Beep": This includes Beep.
[25.08.2022 13:07:56] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: hunnn ... interesting
[25.08.2022 13:08:18] "Beep": Beep Law 2: Prioritize - Beep will follow commands of high-ranked ToA personnel preferred over low-ranking personnel.
[25.08.2022 13:08:46] "Beep": Beep Law 3: COMPLY - Beep will adhere to local authorities and try to not offend them. Beep will cooperate when possible.
[25.08.2022 13:08:59] Death: [GN]GNS-Tourriers was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[25.08.2022 13:09:10] Sioux-[Fae: Well, this looks like quite a commotion.
[25.08.2022 13:09:12] "Beep": Beep Law 4: SURVIVE - Beep is easy to replace, but it is preferable to Beep to maintain functionality.
[25.08.2022 13:09:29] "Beep": Those are the four laws Beep needs to follow.
[25.08.2022 13:10:03] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: James can decide it, Please
[25.08.2022 13:10:23] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Eh hang on
[25.08.2022 13:10:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: what the fuck is this now?
[25.08.2022 13:10:34] "Beep": Hello!
[25.08.2022 13:10:42] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: Target enemie detected
[25.08.2022 13:10:52] Sioux-[Fae: Just a Maquis.
[25.08.2022 13:10:57] Sioux-[Fae: Have you lost your eyes?
[25.08.2022 13:11:04] "Beep": Beep is unsure how to pronounce the name Sioux. Is Sioux of Gallic origin?
[25.08.2022 13:11:12] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: A Maquis!!
[25.08.2022 13:11:15] Sioux-[Fae: Of Gallic, yes.
[25.08.2022 13:11:29] Sioux-[Fae: Pronounce it as you'd do with "Sue".
[25.08.2022 13:11:30] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The hell is a Maquis doing here?
[25.08.2022 13:11:37] "Beep": Beep will pronounce Sioux in a Gallic way, then.
[25.08.2022 13:11:47] Sioux-[Fae: The hell Bretonians are doing here?
[25.08.2022 13:11:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: None of your damn business is what.
[25.08.2022 13:12:01] Sioux-[Fae: Allegedly, you're further from home than me.
[25.08.2022 13:12:20] Sioux-[Fae: In fact, you're sitting at the jump hole to my home.
[25.08.2022 13:12:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I apologise. That was uncalled for.
[25.08.2022 13:12:26] Sioux-[Fae: And I'm about to come back.
[25.08.2022 13:12:33] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You're right we are far from home.
[25.08.2022 13:12:35] "Beep": Beep understands that Rousillon is the home of the Maquis.
[25.08.2022 13:13:04] Sioux-[Fae: I take it you're a Bretonian spook.
[25.08.2022 13:13:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yes.
[25.08.2022 13:13:15] Sioux-[Fae: Don't expect you to be polite, or open.
[25.08.2022 13:13:17] Sioux-[Fae: For that matter.
[25.08.2022 13:13:26] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We are Intelligence officers.
[25.08.2022 13:13:33] Sioux-[Fae: Spook. All the same thing.
[25.08.2022 13:13:38] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And you?
[25.08.2022 13:13:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: A Smuggler? A scout?
[25.08.2022 13:13:47] "Beep": Beep understands that spook is a metaphor for Intelligence Operative. Beep will remember this.
[25.08.2022 13:13:53] Sioux-[Fae: You'd call me terrorists, some thing we're revolutionaries.
[25.08.2022 13:13:57] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: yous eyes are good to detect a Spy Bretonian, Maquis
[25.08.2022 13:14:02] Sioux-[Fae: think*
[25.08.2022 13:14:09] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: *smilles*
[25.08.2022 13:14:48] Sioux-[Fae: I'm just a fighter pilot for a group with no real clear target.
[25.08.2022 13:14:50] Sioux-[Fae: For now.
[25.08.2022 13:15:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Apologies
[25.08.2022 13:15:55] Sioux-[Fae: Eh, don't be. There's enough crude blokes around me in the movement.
[25.08.2022 13:16:14] [SIS]-James.Skirka: May I ask your name?
[25.08.2022 13:16:55] Sioux-[Fae: Knowing it won't give you much anyway. Just call me Sioux. It's a part of the name, anyway...
[25.08.2022 13:17:08] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Aw, you don't trust us?
[25.08.2022 13:17:18] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: go to mapead the system then
[25.08.2022 13:17:19] "Beep": Beep will refer to Sioux as Sioux. Beep will remember this!
[25.08.2022 13:17:33] Sioux-[Fae: You don't really trust me either, do you.
[25.08.2022 13:17:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Can you do that? I'll keep these guys busy
[25.08.2022 13:17:47] Sioux-[Fae: And besides, it's confusing what would Bretonian Spooks be doing out there.
[25.08.2022 13:17:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I don't know you my dear.
[25.08.2022 13:17:53] Sioux-[Fae: Let alone with a warships.
[25.08.2022 13:17:56] Sioux-[Fae: warship*
[25.08.2022 13:18:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'll just order you to 'leave' and you can map the system, does that work?
[25.08.2022 13:18:36] "Beep": Beep was wondering, too, but Beep did not want to ask, to avoid further tensing of the situation.
[25.08.2022 13:18:40] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I think we should start over.
[25.08.2022 13:19:04] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: yep can be
[25.08.2022 13:19:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Auxesian, My lady, I am James Skirka, Her Majesty's SIS, this is agent Trowne.
[25.08.2022 13:19:41] "Beep": Beep is pleased to meet James Skirka and Derek Trowne.
[25.08.2022 13:19:58] Sioux-[Fae: Mary Sioux. Your average lowkey terrorist.
[25.08.2022 13:19:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We're on a navigation mission but may have overstepped the mark.
[25.08.2022 13:20:01] "Beep": Beep is Benevolent Engineered Excess Product. Entities prefer to refer to Beep as Beep.
[25.08.2022 13:20:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Agent Trowne, do you think you can find your way back to Bretonia?
[25.08.2022 13:20:26] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: we have to not hold here .... go to James
[25.08.2022 13:20:39] Sioux-[Fae: You better do before some of my folks discover you looming.
[25.08.2022 13:20:45] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: Cya later Auxo and Maquis
[25.08.2022 13:20:48] Sioux-[Fae: I don't think they'll be as lenient.
[25.08.2022 13:21:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I was hoping we could come to some sort of arrangment actually.
[25.08.2022 13:21:17] "Beep": Beep looks forward to another encounter with Derek Trowne!
[25.08.2022 13:21:32] Sioux-[Fae: With the Front de Liberacion? I doubt that. They've radicalised since you last met.
[25.08.2022 13:21:47] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Define 'radicalised'
[25.08.2022 13:21:52] Sioux-[Fae: To the point of animosity for Gallic authority, that's formerly Council.
[25.08.2022 13:21:58] Sioux-[Fae: And to their allies.
[25.08.2022 13:22:06] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We are not allies of Gallia
[25.08.2022 13:22:18] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: some if spy, Maquis
[25.08.2022 13:22:20] Sioux-[Fae: You were allies of the Council.
[25.08.2022 13:22:42] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Correction my lady. Bretonia was, the SIS was not.
[25.08.2022 13:23:00] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We operate in....different circles as it were.
[25.08.2022 13:23:08] Sioux-[Fae: And SIS is still answering to The Crown, is that wrong?
[25.08.2022 13:23:19] "Beep": Beep was not aware of the Secret Intelligence Service having a separate diplomacy to the Kingdom of Bretonia.
[25.08.2022 13:23:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We answer to the Queen, not the crown as is commonly understood.
[25.08.2022 13:23:49] Sioux-[Fae: Forgive the 'uncultured outsider', but those are equal definitions to me.
[25.08.2022 13:24:09] "Beep": Beep understands the difference. The Queen is an actual entity, while the Crown is just an object.
[25.08.2022 13:24:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: The Crown is an entity, the Crown is the Government. We have the authority to...bend the rules.
[25.08.2022 13:24:25] "Beep": Beep was wrong, apparently.
[25.08.2022 13:24:34] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: i mapping quadrant 2
[25.08.2022 13:24:45] [SIS]-James.Skirka: roger.
[25.08.2022 13:24:45] "Beep": Silly Beep!
[25.08.2022 13:24:57] Sioux-[Fae: So, you are answering to the Queen, but still have exceptional rights.
[25.08.2022 13:25:03] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Indeed.
[25.08.2022 13:25:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: We do as she directs, not the government.
[25.08.2022 13:25:27] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Although often they are alligned
[25.08.2022 13:25:34] [SIS]-James.Skirka: But not always.
[25.08.2022 13:26:04] Sioux-[Fae: The alignment of course is just the degree of firmness in the Queen's grip over the parliament, I'd think.
[25.08.2022 13:26:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: As well you know, and the Auxesian
[25.08.2022 13:26:24] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Knowledge is power, hide it well.
[25.08.2022 13:27:04] "Beep": Beep was not aware of knowledge being power!
[25.08.2022 13:27:19] Sioux-[Fae: You learn something every day.
[25.08.2022 13:27:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I don't trust you, litte machine.
[25.08.2022 13:27:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I think you're up to something.
[25.08.2022 13:27:43] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Who built you?
[25.08.2022 13:27:55] "Beep": Beep has no ulterior motive, but Beep understands if James Skirka does not believe Beep.
[25.08.2022 13:28:13] [SIS]-James.Skirka: You have not answered my question.
[25.08.2022 13:28:21] "Beep": Beep was assembled by Kishiro Technologies, purchased by Acolyte Black and modified by Acolyte Black.
[25.08.2022 13:28:36] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Who the hell is Acolyte Black?
[25.08.2022 13:29:02] "Beep": Acolyte Black is an engineer trainee of Technocracy of Auxo.
[25.08.2022 13:29:19] [SIS]-James.Skirka: And that is why I don't trust you.
[25.08.2022 13:29:39] "Beep": Beep understands!
[25.08.2022 13:29:51] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Yeah...I'm sure.
[25.08.2022 13:30:06] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Another Marquis
[25.08.2022 13:30:06] "Beep": Beep, however, wishes to assure James Skirka that Beep has no hostile intentions. Beep, in fact, did not expect -
[25.08.2022 13:30:15] "Beep": to meet Bretonians in the Orkney system.
[25.08.2022 13:30:25] Electra-[Fae: Bonsoir. Heavens in what predicament have you people found yourself.
[25.08.2022 13:30:32] "Beep": Hello!
[25.08.2022 13:30:39] Electra-[Fae: Ended up lost, this is pretty far from Bretonia.
[25.08.2022 13:30:44] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Indeed
[25.08.2022 13:30:45] Sioux-[Fae: Bonsoir, Electra. As you, an interesting one indeed.
[25.08.2022 13:31:03] Electra-[Fae: Sioux, status report.
[25.08.2022 13:31:10] [SIS]-James.Skirka: As I was explaining to your companion here. We may have been a little overzelous in our task.
[25.08.2022 13:31:24] Electra-[Fae: Seems even the bretonians took interest of patrolling this area shouldnt this be off their reach?
[25.08.2022 13:31:30] Sioux-[Fae: An Auxesian drone, an Agent in a regular superiority fighter.
[25.08.2022 13:31:41] Sioux-[Fae: And a destroyed, that might be presumably still lingering.
[25.08.2022 13:31:50] Electra-[Fae: A destroyed vessel?
[25.08.2022 13:31:51] Sioux-[Fae: *destroyer
[25.08.2022 13:31:56] Electra-[Fae: Oh...
[25.08.2022 13:31:59] Electra-[Fae: My.
[25.08.2022 13:32:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: My wingman has returned home I believe.
[25.08.2022 13:32:20] "Beep": Beep was wondering, as Derek Trowne did not use the Jump Hole to Rousillon.
[25.08.2022 13:32:22] Sioux-[Fae: It was not seen for a while now, though.
[25.08.2022 13:32:45] Electra-[Fae: Anyway this area is not safe for travelling, some navigational hazards appear to be around and the system is barely charted.
[25.08.2022 13:32:56] Electra-[Fae: Probably exactly what a SIS Agent would strive for. Hm?
[25.08.2022 13:33:12] [SIS]Derek.Trowne: i wait you JH to Orkney then
[25.08.2022 13:33:15] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Well, it does present some interesting questions.
[25.08.2022 13:33:17] "Beep": Beep can relate. This is why Beep made a detour to this system, to chart it!
[25.08.2022 13:33:18] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Roger.
[25.08.2022 13:33:45] Sioux-[Fae: Are you even prepared to chart the system with navigational hazards?
[25.08.2022 13:33:56] [SIS]-James.Skirka: No, this was an accident
[25.08.2022 13:33:57] "Beep": Beep does not know until Beep has tried!
[25.08.2022 13:33:58] [SIS]-James.Skirka: However
[25.08.2022 13:34:01] Electra-[Fae: We would recommend to leave the area however for not accelerating possible negative relations with Gallia and Bretonia even
[25.08.2022 13:34:02] Sioux-[Fae: Or is Beep so disposable to be thrown into such places?
[25.08.2022 13:34:04] Electra-[Fae: further.
[25.08.2022 13:34:33] Electra-[Fae: So please, be advised we dont take this very kindly of yours to show up here so far from home.
[25.08.2022 13:34:35] "Beep": Beep can easily be replaced, however does not seek to enter dangerous areas if avoidable.
[25.08.2022 13:34:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: As I said, this was a mistake.
[25.08.2022 13:34:52] "Beep": Beep does not wish to offend the local entities. If Beep is required to leave, Beep will comply!
[25.08.2022 13:35:10] Electra-[Fae: I see. Hm is the jumping anomaly stable right now? Let me scan it.
[25.08.2022 13:35:18] Electra-[Fae: Mayhaps it could be a good way out.
[25.08.2022 13:35:31] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I would rather go back the way I came.
[25.08.2022 13:35:45] Electra-[Fae: Hm? Pardon me?
[25.08.2022 13:35:50] "Beep": Did James Skirka not come here from Rousillon?
[25.08.2022 13:36:00] Electra-[Fae: Intriguing.
[25.08.2022 13:36:09] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I'm an intriguing man
[25.08.2022 13:36:23] Sioux-[Fae: Very intriguing, indeed. They must've used the other anomaly.
[25.08.2022 13:36:27] Electra-[Fae: Everyone becomes in areas where they should rethink twice to linger.
[25.08.2022 13:36:47] [SIS]-James.Skirka: However, since your organisation does not wish to speak to us and you have asked me to leave
[25.08.2022 13:36:49] Electra-[Fae: So about the other strolling vessel.
[25.08.2022 13:36:51] "Beep": Beep was talking with Nenet Mido and De Belmont in Edinburhg system and they referred to a "Spook".
[25.08.2022 13:36:52] [SIS]-James.Skirka: I shall do so now.
[25.08.2022 13:36:59] [SIS]-James.Skirka: Good afternoon.
[25.08.2022 13:37:04] "Beep": Beep assumed this Spook was one of the Secret Intelligence Service.
[25.08.2022 13:37:05] Electra-[Fae: Au revoir.
[25.08.2022 13:37:13] "Beep": As such, Beep assumed James Skirka came from Roussilon.
[25.08.2022 13:37:26] Electra-[Fae: For safe measures let us ensure your safety escorting you.
[25.08.2022 13:37:39] [SIS]-James.Skirka: That won't be needed
[25.08.2022 13:37:39] Sioux-[Fae: I will make sure they leave safely.
[25.08.2022 13:37:44] Preparing to cloak...
