Vaughn & Bit - Neural Net - Goliath - 10-25-2020

Location: Liberty, New York

Terminal: FR-45-EEC2, Hangar 1

Recording: Kyle Vaughn and [ERR_F-YOU]

"Alright...it seems to be working. Say something. I need to check if the recording device can hear your speakers from all the way there."

"Vaughn is an idiot!"

"You get to record your words for the first time on a Neural Net and that is what you say. Really? You had some many subjects to pick.

"What would you have me say? You want me to be as boring and depressing as you? Oh! You want me to present the latest events that happened in the last 24 hours! Wooo! Some sorta'...personal journal!

But why would you do that?"

*sighs* Because one day we might not be here anymore. We might be somewhere else on our merry way, doing things that differ from now. Or maybe we die and need to leave something behind for our followers.

Depressing as ever. How YOU of you. Live every day as if it were your last, dammit! Smile! Be happy! Stop trying to give me your filthy sad emotions. It won't work.

What does work, however, is releasing that Azurite valve so I can have a fun time K-K-KILLING THOSE D-D-DAMN AR-S_S-E_H-OLE N-NAVY! -ah, uh. Did the terminal hear that?

It definitely did, you bug addled idiot. *chuckles* Anyway. How about we start this log with something nice? About a calm, relaxing flight we had on our way to...-

Yeah we have no "nice" things. What we DO have is lunatic Officer that tried to bribe you into getting his hands on my damn ship! A-A-AND Y-YOU N-NEARLY SOLD ME OUT YOU T-_T_R_AITOR-R-R!

You what?! I wasn't going to sell you out! You sucked too much money off my Bank Account. I can't just let you go. Besides, who would give out an unstable idiot like you? I'd get charged for murder the second I hand you over.

You care about the money you spent instead of me! How dare you?! That Navy was at least interested in me. Like. Genuine interest! Maybe I would've gotten to fly a Liberty Battlecruiser! O-or one of those fancy Atlantis Carriers!

Who cares about you more, Bit? The random Officer saying he is interested in your parts, or the Junker who fixes you every day, keeps you fed with Azurite - which by the way, you MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES IN THAT CONVERSATION - and generally wants to make sure you don't fall in wrong hands.

You're such a child, sometimes.

You had to bring up the maintenance part, didn't you? Screw you...it's not like the Navy wouldn't find a way to also keep me working. I'm sure they are rich as hell. They could even improve me with some really COOL Nomad stuff. I'm basically working on Azurite. Might as well use Nomad guns.

And where would you find those? Are you mad? And do you realize we'd get hunted down by all House lawfuls? I'm barely keeping a legal front with you around while dealing with the Hackers. I don't want illegal weaponry to scream "Hey! I might be a Nomad plug! Come shoot me!".

Added to that, nobody even remotely knows how to keep you in one piece as I do. They don't have the schematics, or the knowledge to fix your hardware.

Sure, sure...whatever floats your boat. I guess it's always the same stalemate, no? You argue...I argue...nothing gets solved. We flood the chat with useless info...but you know what? I'm glad you didn't sell me out. How would I be able to watch the Navy get wiped as a Navy AI? That woulda' been ridiculous.

Can't even forgive them for what they did. I'd just suicide if I became one of them - if I could...

We...somehow said what there is to be said. Not in the most graceful way - or polite - . but we did it. *sighs* Please, stop with the "stalemate" shenanigans, though. Saying a simple "thank you" every now and then would solve them.

Anyway. Ending this log. Hopefully we'll do better next time. Well, hopefully YOU will do better next time.

D'aww...I hate you too shiny bearded man. Now please take a look under the hull. I think I'm dripping some coolant. I'm also going to shoot that terminal once you step away from it.

Terminal: CV-2400 Board Computer| Linking to [TBL-TTR300-T1]

Recording: Kyle Vaughn and [ERR_F-YOU]

Recorder is on. Say something.

My Port-Wing wires are getting crispy.

...not something I expected, but useful nonetheless. I'll get on it soon. Anyway, the terminal shows green.

Great! Amazing! Now what are we going to talk about? We could chat about how you broke in a quarantine zone, or about that station in Omicron Chi.

I am quite sure that was a small Outpost.I even saw a few wrecks around.

Same thing! Let's get our fancy Liner there and open it up! Come on!

Definitely no. The asteroids are too large. I've got a Space Suit in the back, anyway. We'll get on it once we return from Dabadoru.

"Space Suit"? It's called "EVA"! Get with the times, man. Now let's go! That place is too juicy and I-I_I N-NEED TO GO THERE!

I think you misunderstood. We are NOT going there now. The Order called us for the last stunt we did. We better comply - unless you want to be gutted like a fish later on.

Fine...whatever...I don't care...fuck you.

Look. If it plays out smoothly and Agent Drake isn't fully pissed at our stunt, I might talk something out about a body and a chassis rework on the Jackdaw. Minor change, but to allow your newly obtained body to sit on a proper chair.

Oooo! Wait. Will it be like...a two-seated Jackdaw? How would you even pull that off?

We'd cut off from the cargo hold. Just a little. You don't need pilot controls, anyway, so that saves up space.

Great! But how long will it take, though? A week? Two? Three to make the body and fixes?

No clue. As I said, the meeting with Agent Drake will answer some of the questions.

Right. Sure. Yes. Let's uh...go. Yes. Yes yes yes. LET'S GOOOOO!

Wait. Kyle?

Yeah?

Am I burning? I feel like my Port Wing is on fire.

Huh? No. I don't think s- OH SH**

What is going on?

Everything is fine. Pffft. Burning? Naaaah...just do something in there, ignore whatever pain you feel there. False alarm! We'll dock with Freeport 11 once we get there and take a look at those triggers.

...how was I turning this recorder off...?

We're finally here.

Weren't we supposed to get that scan from Agent Drake?

We waited about a week for him to do that. Order or not, I won't sleep on Freeport 11 ONE more day.

Instead you're sleeping on a base in the middle of nowhere and scrap all around. How nice of you!

I like it better that way.

Whatever floats your boat, oil man. Then again, we went from Freeport 11 to New York and back to Tarancon. Quite logical, no?

Oh come on, it was fun.

It was, actually! I loved to see T-THE FUCKING F-F-FIREWORKS!

And we got a Rogue contact us about some "deal".

Great deal, honestly. I love fireworks!

My wallet doesn't, however. But we'll see how it fans out. I offered them shelter on Tarancon if they rid us of any Navy ships in Nu.

Fair enough. Let the navy scumbags stay on their own turf, not ours! I wouldn't mind to see some of them get through so I can pirate them!

We. Keep that in mind. Anyway, I'll have to cut this recording short. There's something I - I mean we - have to take care of.

Just when I started to like speaking into my own microphone...what's this about?

I need to speak with The Lane Hackers. I wonder if Drake's still around.

So many Drakes...come on man. Which one, anyway?

The Lane Hacker one.

I talked with a batch of Rogues to make fireworks in Liberty.

You WHAT?

I talked with some Rogues. To make fireworks. Out of Liberty Lawfuls.

Why? Just...why? Why would you even...? Why didn't you discuss with me first, you absolute f*cking...*sigh* - I need prepare an apology speech...and urgh...monetary compensation...and some...-

For what? It went a-ok! They liked the deal, and will often pop by when we're around to...y'know. Blow stuff up and get paid!

You...really mean it? You solved something diplomatically. In the most subtle way possible. With formal language and respectfully?

Yyyyyyyyyyyy...yep! All that.

I'm...oddly impressed, actually. I expected the Rogues you talked with to look for us and demand cash for insulting them or whatnot.

Do you really have that little faith in me?

Yes. Actually yes. You've proven multiple times that you simply lack compassion and a sense of formality, let alone your weird shenanigans.

I'm not that bad!

Right. Look. You did good. Please keep going like that. Maybe I'll fit the Jackdaw with an extra Azurite canister.

Oh! In that case, I did talk with the Imperial Outcasts too about fireworks! Things played out nicely there too! I gently adressed the woman that responded the transmission with the most used formal word I could've heard on this Base!

Oh really. And what did you say?

I said with a charming tone: "Hey there, porkchop!". I swear the phrase might've knocked her out from all that formality! I'm still waiting for an answer from her!

YOU ABSOLUTE F-

Ooops! Bzzzt...grrrrrrrgh - Nzzzzzzt, signal's breaking. I can't hear yooouuuu!

Recording: Kyle Vaughn and [ERR_F-YOU]

Vaughn: I've done modifications to the overlay. It should be less messy now when scrolling through past logs.

Bit: Boooooooooring...

Vaughn: Just...forget it. Make sure you don't break anything in that hangar.

Bit: Like what? At best I'd kill a few people. Nothing of value, really.

Vaughn: We're aboard an Order Station, Bit. We don't want to harm anyone. You want to stop burning from the inside out? Cooperate with those engineers.

Bit: Fiiine...- wait. Where are you going, by the way?

Vaughn: The cafeteria. While the engineers take a look at you, I'll have a cup of coffee. Or something to eat.

Bit: Su- HEY. Since when are you a coffee drinker?

Vaughn: I'm trying to be nice, Bit. It's not polite to refuse an offer that really does no harm. Not from The Order, at the very least.

Bit: Weirdo'.

Vaughn: Being nice is something you tend to do on special occasions such as these. These people are working during Christmas.

Bit: Christmas? What in burnt processors is that? Some sort of event where you claim being a very nice guy?

Vaughn: Christmas is a special day when people are nice to eachother. They eat, drink, hand out gifts to eachother...things like that.

Bit: Cool! So where's my gift?

Vaughn: sighs

Bit: ...What?

Vaughn: See you in a few. Take care.

Bit:So...enjoying your meal?

Vaughn: Yes, actually. Something's been bothering you?

Bit: Not necessarily. It's just boring to stand here.

Vaughn: So...now you're missing a certain meatbag?

Bit: Kind of...

Vaughn: [sighs] Right. Philosophy time?

Bit: Oh how kind of you to have a casual chat with your fellow no-body friend!

Vaughn: So it's about that, huh? You want a body that badly? Why would you, even? You're doing great as a ship!

Bit: Yeah...almost. I'm curious about life outside of a ship's confines, you know. I want to see what's inside a station! To feel things...you know. Explore.

Vaughn: Right. Maybe one day. Making a body to resist your workload is going to take time. Especially when we're talking about something resilient.

Bit: It's nice to know it's on the list, you know.

Vaughn: Just above the Jackdaw's modifications to allow a second seat.

Bit: Like a simple char down there to keep the cool body?

Vaughn: Pretty much. Unless you want it to stay in the cargo bay.

Bit: ...I'm not entirely against that.

Vaughn: So we can cut that off the list? Cool

Bit: Wait, wait, wait, wait! I didn't mean that!

Vaughn: Then?

Bit: A talk for another time, maybe? I can sense something crawling up my port-wing like a rat biting cables. I think it's one of the engineers.

Vaughn: Hey. Rats are nice.

Bit: And so are the diseases they carry, no? I've read the articles.

Vaughn: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Bit: Righ- AH! A-Ah-AAAAH! - [YOᑌ ᑌᑎG_-ᖇᗩTEᖴᑌᒪ ᖴᑌᑕKᔕ]

Vaughn: You okay?

Bit: I think they just tripped over a few tubes leading to the coolant. Urgh...if I had a head I'd get a massive migrane.

Vaughn: Hang on there. It'll be all worth it.

Recording: Kyle Vaughn and [ :] ]

Bit:And...it's on now.

Vaughn: Remind me. Why did you turn that thing on?

Bit: Well...I thought it might be nice to...you know.

Vaughn: Record a conversation about...what exactly?

Bit: That Olivia.

Vaughn: [sighs] Fine. What do you want to know?

Bit: What would any good friend want to know! That, and why don't you just tell her your name?

Vaughn: Why in balls would I do that? That Freelancer is a stranger to me as I am to her. I know nothing about her other than what previous encounters we had. She's also befriending some Donut Woman.

Bit: You know hers. She doesn't know yours. She doesn't know mine either. And that's terrible! And unfair.

Vaughn: As unfair as it might be, we've just returned to Liberty to finish some business, not build up damn relationships and share identities. I don't want to be in New York any longer than I have to be.

Bit: I know. I know, but it would be nice to take some time off this whole mess we're getting ourselves in. Admit it.

Vaughn: And what are you suggesting, exactly?

Bit: Well. We go and have some fun.

Vaughn: We are still tagged as Fugitives, Bit. We're not "having fun" until we get that fixed.

Bit: Nonsense! We can still shoot Xenos. And Police.

Vaughn: I wouldn't mind that, but I'm more comfortable seeing the Law Enforcement get blown up by others rather than us getting into fights which involve impossible odds.

Bit: I think those times are long past.

Vaughn: I doubt.

Bit: Let's just try. Alright?

Vaughn: The only thing you consider fun is quite literally shooting people. The things I consider fun are just sitting on a couch watching movies and cleaning the CV-2400 on a regular basis.

Bit: ...and you wonder why you can't find a matched meatbag...

Vaughn: That would mean my days as a Pilot would be over.

Bit: So?

Vaughn: So I wouldn't need you no more.

Bit: So?

Vaughn: Forget it. Just close the recording. I'm tired of that beeping.
