That's...really all I can think of to describe you.
Tell me, Austin. What would you happen to do with them, hm? Set them free?
Well, I wouldnt let that happen. After all, Hale already decided what to do.
Er...perhaps I should make it clear
I never, in a million years, expected that old man to pay. In fact, I knew he wouldnt. The only reason I did this was to show how weak Liberty is, how much their lust for money really leaves them...blind.
I might consider letting them into your custody...but, I truly dont think it would be so anymore. I alre-...oh, wait, that would spoil it.
Yes, you could call me naive, or insane, which I am to the fullest, or so those medical records say back home. But those are my problems, another few problems is being on this freezing rock.
Anyways, I could quite possibly say that I'm willing to devote my life to hunting you down and slowly pulling a blade across your neck. But I'm already planning on doing that with every member of the Kithe family.So, I would like you to release the hostages into my custody. Granted as I'm such a nice guy they would be let free without a price. But, you're the Terrorist in this situation, so the question goes back to you, what's your demand?
You're interesting, to say the least. Seems you take your grudges quite seriously, hm?
So, I believe I can act...civil, to that kind of action. You certainly garner a bit of...respect? Honor? Im not really sure where I can place it. Let's just say I wont kill you. Yet.
Thinking upon this, Im still not going to give them up without a very good reason..
Not money. No, I dont need that. Just a reason.
Im already postponing my little plan for this. You have...18 hours to respond.
I don't know what your grudge is with Liberty, why you want to kill innocents to get back at the Government. I don't know what your goals are. I don't personally care for your own personal goal. I don't know your religious views.
The fact you're wanting to kill innocents to move your goals forwards, is why I've sent this transmission. All life is precious, despite the evil we tend to bring to the worlds. Killing an innocent human life isn't the best possible way.
Yeah, I'm a former soldier, yes I've killed people myself, I know the harsh side of life. I've seen civilians die in the name of the Emperor, I've seen soldiers of other houses slaughter them without mercy. If you're a terrorist, then your goal must to destabilize the Liberty House, and soon the other houses. Armed resistance isn't necessarily the best path.
I know I'm going off topic when I say this, I'm a fugitive from my very own people. I was once a hero amongst them for saving lives of civilians, including the Prime Minister himself. Instead of turning against the Crown, I decided to continue to fight for them, and have yet to fire back at them when Her Majesty's men fire upon me. As I said, I don't know your history of what Liberty has done to you, or why you're wanting to kill these people.
I'm not even sure if that's enough of a reason for you to let these people over to my custody.
But, I believe we're at an impass. I, for one, see you as an asset. You're unstable, yet you have such a hero side, such a daring manner. Even one like me must concede that a true air of that is uncommon.
I dont want to squander my assets, yet I also dont want to let go of my tools. Impressive scenario.
Im not going to dance around facts; I need those Hostages, yet you need to satisfy yourself. We can find a resolution, perhaps a way to make this well for both of us.
Your benefit? I have no clue as to yet. Though I'm sure you gain as much as I would gain in this situation. Except more on the lines of infamy instead of fame, which is what I believe you want. Plus you get another set of hostages who have nothing better to do but die for their Emperor.
Of course that makes me sound hypocritical as to what I said earlier about all life being precious, but there is a war up in the Tau's that I would rather see ended quickly.
I have to say, this has been fun. Rather, it shall be fun. For me, mostly.
Austin, I believe I can...help, in Kusari. After all, they stand relatively close, Kusari and Liberty. Trading and such. On normal grounds, that wouldnt be quite enough incentive. However, I know this comes with something else.
You.
At least an involvement with you. I understand how many places you go, what you do, who you see. I will attack Kusari, on your behalf...at times. But I also trust that we won't be done with each other. You have certain...lines, that I wouldnt otherwise be able to access.
I simply need your word on this, and I believe everything will be...arranged.
