Greetings Admiralty,

I'm reporting that my superior officer and commander of the Auxiliary Fleet, Vice Admiral Oliver Myles, happens to be missing or we don't have any information about him. I haven't seen him or his vessel quite some time and here are no signs of HMS Majestic on its usual stations in Leeds and Newcastle.

While he might be in trouble and we should organize a search/rescue party, there is always a possibility that he is just on some long-term assignment which is above my rank and clearance.

Can you give us any insights into his disappearance?

Flag Officer Kwiatkowska,

Thank you for taking the time to file your concerns.

Having reviewed the minutes of previous board meetings, and any internal communique I have been able to access, I can see no evidence of any posting that would place him beyond your reach, nor should he be given one. At this moment in time, I am formally recording Vice Admiral Myles status as Missing in Action. The Majestic will also be listed as missing with all hands.

Organising any kind of resources to search and rescue will be arranged and allocated by Her Majesty's Board of the Admiralty. Whilst your dedication to your commanding officer is to be commended, this is not your concern. Continue with your standing orders.

As an additional point, this leaves an issue with the coordination of the Auxiliary fleet. As a previous commander of the Auxiliary, I find myself interested in the ongoing affairs, and I pay attention to aspiring names. Yours, has reached my ear. It has been decided that you are to be promoted to the rank of Acting Captain, until such time as Vice Admiral Myles returns to his post. Congratulations Captain.

Should you have any issues, direct them to the nearest Admiral's office.

In service to Her Majesty the Queen,

Lord Admiral Michelle O'Brian, Lord Oakington of Cambridge, KBE
Oversector Centre
Bretonian Command

I bid you a good late evening, Lord Admiral,

While I was not investigating disappearance of Vice Admiral Oliver Myles as ordered, one of my unofficial contacts brought me some worrying information about him, which could give you some leads or hints where to look for him.

For the safety of my contact - her identity is hidden, but everything else remains unchanged. I will include recordings from my meeting and her recordings at the end of this message.

I do not see much sense of it. While I am aware that such aliens exist, I do not know how could they, in theory, snatch of high command officers.

But as I reviewed these records - as far as I understand - my contact and Vice Admiral met her at least two times while some strange things happened. The first - it is just her report and it is not recorded as true input - he was speaking into her head.

The second was when they have met aliens (and some gauls) in Edinburgh, where they have been, by all records, using the same method and pattern as in previous encounter.

I hope this will help you with your search and rescue operations and that you all this mystery will be explained properly. I do not know how much useful these records are for your experts, but operating manual is very clear on these matters: Report all findings, no matter how insignificant they might look.

Meeting with my contact

[17.07.2021 15:24:30] [Redacted]: Oh, thank the stars, it didn't take long to find you.
[17.07.2021 15:24:38] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: [Redacted]-actual? What's the matter?
[17.07.2021 15:25:23] [Redacted]: It's important, miss Anna. Like, -really- important, and I wanted to tell you in person because I don't know if I can trust any
[17.07.2021 15:25:38] [Redacted]: other comm channel, especially not frequencies from the VA...
[17.07.2021 15:26:08] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: This is highly unusual. Have you found those royalists?
[17.07.2021 15:26:45] [Redacted]: No, I found worse. Can we move off the grid? I promise it's not an ambush or anything, but I don't want you to get in trouble..
[17.07.2021 15:27:04] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Very well.
[17.07.2021 15:27:22] [Redacted]: Thanks. Come with me, it won't be very far...
[17.07.2021 15:28:22] [Redacted]: Alright, this should work. Here...
[17.07.2021 15:28:46] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I'm listening.
[17.07.2021 15:28:57] [Redacted]: First things first, let me ask you a question - have you seen the VA recently, miss Anna?
[17.07.2021 15:29:28] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Vice Admiral is... unavailable at this moment. That's all I can say.
[17.07.2021 15:29:55] [Redacted]: Sod your unavailable. He's -gone-, that's what he is. Right?
[17.07.2021 15:30:41] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I cannot disclose more details about him. He is out of reach at this moment.
[17.07.2021 15:31:24] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: What is going on in here? Do you know something?
[17.07.2021 15:31:50] [Redacted]: I do, yeah. That's why I need to know if it's not just us...
[17.07.2021 15:32:48] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Then, please elaborate. You are acting strangely.
[17.07.2021 15:34:16] [Redacted]: Alright, fine. You may not believe me, but I want you to remember that so far I've said to you nothing but the truth, yes?
[17.07.2021 15:34:49] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Tak.
[17.07.2021 15:35:30] [Redacted]: The VA is a Nomad. Or an infected, a Wild, or... I don't know how you people call them. But he's not normal at all, that much I
[17.07.2021 15:36:03] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Nomad? Do you mean... those alien creatures?
[17.07.2021 15:36:13] [Redacted]: can tell you... he did that sort of t-telepathy the actual Nomads did with me a few times, and I -know- it was the same and not
[17.07.2021 15:36:20] [Redacted]: the comms acting up or anything.
[17.07.2021 15:36:56] [Redacted]: Yes! The giant glowing crystalline squids! You've seen them too, right? They've been around Edinburgh and Roussillon, I've seen
[17.07.2021 15:37:03] [Redacted]: them more than a few times already...
[17.07.2021 15:37:13] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Infected vice admiral seems very unlikely. There have been no serious spotting of aliens in here.
[17.07.2021 15:37:53] [Redacted]: I know it sounds unlikely, but that's how it is. I can't prove it to you, unfortunately, because telepathy doesn't show up-
[17.07.2021 15:38:22] [Redacted]: -on logs, but... he IS gone, isn't it? And you DID have trouble in Edinburgh recently, haven't you?
[17.07.2021 15:38:51] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Are you sure that it was telepathy? Wasn't it fatigue, stress or something like that?
[17.07.2021 15:39:11] [Redacted]: It was. Do you want to know what it sounded like, what he said?
[17.07.2021 15:39:27] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I would like to know, tak.
[17.07.2021 15:41:10] [Redacted]: I was talking with him one day in Edinburgh, feeling kind of depressed about the way there's just no peace among the stars, and
[17.07.2021 15:41:36] [Redacted]: to that he said that there is. I asked him what he meant and to show me that peace, and he thought...
[17.07.2021 15:42:02] [Redacted]: "yours shall find peace at the right moment, ours revealed this information to you".
[17.07.2021 15:42:40] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Is this what he said?
[17.07.2021 15:43:04] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: He does not speak like that.
[17.07.2021 15:43:04] [Redacted]: I don't know if you got ever 'talked to' by a Nomad, but... it felt like a giant swarm of bees, humming the words together, and
[17.07.2021 15:43:33] [Redacted]: a strange feeling I can't quite describe... and yes, there's the fact that those that have spoken to me talk like they're many
[17.07.2021 15:43:42] [Redacted]: and not just one.
[17.07.2021 15:44:06] Death: AComfyPillow was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[17.07.2021 15:44:31] [Redacted]: Yeah, he never did that before. And when I acted up, I was shocked by that... thought, like he did that, and he didn't seem to
[17.07.2021 15:44:48] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I have met one of those aliens back in Cambridge, but it was just... pieces of emotions, forced into my mind.
[17.07.2021 15:45:02] [Redacted]: know he even said that! I can send you the logs - actually we will send you the logs. Do with those what you wish.
[17.07.2021 15:45:41] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Was this your only experience with his other... self?
[17.07.2021 15:45:45] [Redacted]: Telepathy aside, you'll see that everything I'm telling you is right there. I wish the thoughts were too, but that I unfortu-
[17.07.2021 15:46:11] [Redacted]: -nately cannot do. And yes, I've never seen him again after that day... or, no actually, there was one other day...
[17.07.2021 15:46:46] [Redacted]: And on that day, two-three giant Nomad warforms showed up next to Edinburgh! He was there too, and some Gauls showed up before-
[17.07.2021 15:47:07] [Redacted]: -or after, I don't recall well, sorry, it was a giant chaotic mess, and there was a fight...
[17.07.2021 15:47:19] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Have you seen him... with alien beings? Do you have any footage?
[17.07.2021 15:47:49] [Redacted]: What I do recall is that he didn't even try engaging them. He did say doing so was suicide, and well, I can't really say he was
[17.07.2021 15:47:51] [Redacted]: wrong thre...
[17.07.2021 15:48:35] [Redacted]: I've never seen him, like, talk to them or greet them or anything, no. That one time he thought to me was the only time he did
[17.07.2021 15:49:07] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: That sounds like him. We never jumped into the impossible odds guns blazing.
[17.07.2021 15:49:28] [Redacted]: something really weird, and the day after, the one I'm telling you about, seemed to be back to normal...
[17.07.2021 15:49:58] [Redacted]: Yeah, but you didn't receive any summon either, right? Aren't you supposed to show up when there's giant aliens in Bretonia?
[17.07.2021 15:50:00] A bounty pool worth $700.000 credits for 22 kills has been deposited in your account.
[17.07.2021 15:50:26] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I haven't received any orders like that, but...
[17.07.2021 15:50:40] [Redacted]: Yeah, thought so.
[17.07.2021 15:50:44] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Auxiliaries rarely venture beyond the borders of Bretonia.
[17.07.2021 15:51:45] [Redacted]: He was there though. I have the logs to confirm it. You won't catch him red-handed or anything, but at least you'll know he was
[17.07.2021 15:51:47] [Redacted]: there.
[17.07.2021 15:52:18] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Please, send me those logs if you can. Via secured channel.
[17.07.2021 15:52:43] [Redacted]: So... do you believe me, miss Anna?
[17.07.2021 15:52:46] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: If something happened to the Vice Admiral, I would like to know what.
[17.07.2021 15:53:17] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: What do you say is highly unusual, but not impossible.
[17.07.2021 15:53:58] [Redacted]: I don't know any more than you do about where's he run off now, I'm sorry, but I thought I had to warn you. I waited for some-
[17.07.2021 15:54:23] [Redacted]: -time before doing that, I admit, because I wasn't sure you'd believe us, being Gaians and all and well, it's mostly just my-
[17.07.2021 15:54:27] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: These informations could be useful in any way.
[17.07.2021 15:55:08] [Redacted]: -word on it... but this isn't good for any of us, I don't think.
[17.07.2021 15:56:17] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: These aliens are dangerous. Word of caution is useful in any way.
[17.07.2021 15:56:44] [Redacted]: Well... that's the long and short of it, miss Anna. The Artio's gone dark, now we know the VA can't be trusted - not that it-
[17.07.2021 15:56:55] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Although, I have no reports about distasters in Edinburgh.
[17.07.2021 15:57:25] [Redacted]: -matters since he's bloody well GONE, and I think I'll be going too... maybe join my sister [Redacted]...
[17.07.2021 15:59:22] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: What do you mean? I hope you are not going to kill yourself.
[17.07.2021 15:59:42] [Redacted]: What? No! Stars, no, I'd never...
[17.07.2021 16:00:19] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I'm just asking. You look really distressed.
[17.07.2021 16:01:14] [Redacted]: I am, miss Anna. I really am. Remember what I said, about not finding peace among the stars and the constant fighting, the lost
[17.07.2021 16:01:19] [Redacted]: causes, and the rest?
[17.07.2021 16:02:18] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Tak, I remember. But keeping calm mind is important as well.
[17.07.2021 16:02:52] [Redacted]: It's never been easy. Stars know Fate has had it in for us, for Gaia... but when it rained, it poured, and it never stopped-
[17.07.2021 16:03:26] [Redacted]: -pouring. We thought we had someone to work with, an ally of sorts, maybe a way to build bridges... and then I find out he's in
[17.07.2021 16:03:36] [Redacted]: league with the aliens and he's GONE.
[17.07.2021 16:04:18] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Maybe there is a way how to revert him to his previous state, if he is one of them.
[17.07.2021 16:04:28] [Redacted]: It's soul-crushing, miss Anna. It's so, very, distressing. And I just want it to stop...
[17.07.2021 16:05:09] [Redacted]: The captain was thinking about contacting "those shady blokes from Liberty"... I think she meant the Order with that. Don't-
[17.07.2021 16:05:50] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I don't see how Order could help us with this. They probably lost interest in fighting aliens some time ago.
[17.07.2021 16:05:52] [Redacted]: -know if she did, maybe she left to go meet them. Or join them. I... stayed behind, to keep watch on Edinburgh, let them know-
[17.07.2021 16:06:01] [Redacted]: -if anything happened.
[17.07.2021 16:06:10] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Order has stolen one of our carriers.
[17.07.2021 16:06:19] [Redacted]: Another dead end... by the Stars, there really is no end to this...
[17.07.2021 16:06:32] [Redacted]: *long, weary, sigh.*
[17.07.2021 16:07:19] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Maybe you could use some rest.
[17.07.2021 16:07:45] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Try some Freeport, just not Halifax. That's a hellhole.
[17.07.2021 16:07:56] [Redacted]: I don't know what I need. I just know I want to close my eyes and be in a Sirius that doesn't have everyone at each other's-
[17.07.2021 16:08:04] [Redacted]: -throat, forever.
[17.07.2021 16:08:11] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: And run through your findings again.
[17.07.2021 16:08:38] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: There surely a way how to solve these issues. Always is.
[17.07.2021 16:08:57] [Redacted]: I'll... just stop at Islay, find the black box, send you what little I have. And then go find my sister.
[17.07.2021 16:09:33] [Redacted]: I appreciate the concern, miss Anna, and don't worry. I'm not going to throw myself at the nearest sun.
[17.07.2021 16:10:19] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: That is good to hear, [Redacted]. That is your name, isn't it?
[17.07.2021 16:11:07] [Redacted]: [Redacted]. I'm [Redacted] [Redacted], [Redacted]'s sister... you haven't met her, last I heard from her she was still on Cambridge and studying...
[17.07.2021 16:11:14] [Redacted]: Stars above, it's been so much time...
[17.07.2021 16:12:09] [Redacted]: It has to have been years at least, since we got stranded in the outworlds...
[17.07.2021 16:12:46] [Redacted]: What do I even say to her, when I find her? Does she even know I'm alive? Stars...
[17.07.2021 16:13:02] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Very well, miss. Take all the evidence you can find, send it to me and get to your family.
[17.07.2021 16:13:17] [Redacted]: Look, miss Anna, can you do me a favour?
[17.07.2021 16:13:43] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: That depends on the nature of favour.
[17.07.2021 16:14:30] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I am armed forces officer, after all. I need to maintain some composure and professionality.
[17.07.2021 16:14:37] [Redacted]: If you ever see or hear something about an [Redacted] [Redacted], maybe... track her down, see what she's done or where's she been-
[17.07.2021 16:14:50] [Redacted]: -please, please let me know. That's all.
[17.07.2021 16:15:07] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Does she have a citizenship?
[17.07.2021 16:15:51] [Redacted]: Yeah. She's Bretonian just like me, we were born on Cambride and went to the same colleges. She's a little younger, when I-
[17.07.2021 16:16:06] [Redacted]: -joined the Gaians she was still taking classes...
[17.07.2021 16:16:59] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Very well, I can help you. Send me the evidence along with your mother maiden name and I will look into the records.
[17.07.2021 16:17:21] [Redacted]: Thank you, miss Anna. I mean it.
[17.07.2021 16:17:39] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Unless she went to the other side of the law, there should be some official records about her current status.
[17.07.2021 16:18:50] [Redacted]: You probably won't see me again, not for a long while at least or unless some disaster happens, so... I suppose this is-
[17.07.2021 16:19:09] [Redacted]: -goodbye.
[17.07.2021 16:19:42] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: I hope your future endeavors will lead to the better side of the law, miss [Redacted].
[17.07.2021 16:20:10] [Redacted]: Hah. They certainly can't go any worse...
[17.07.2021 16:20:42] [Redacted]: You're a good woman, miss Anna. I'm glad to have met you, and if there's one other thing I'd like to ask of you, is that you-
[17.07.2021 16:21:13] [Redacted]: -remember that we both wanted, and want, the best for our country. I hope you'll have more success in helping it than we did.
[17.07.2021 16:21:24] [Redacted]: Who knows... maybe someone will listen to you...
[17.07.2021 16:21:31] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: It always can be worse.
[17.07.2021 16:21:59] [Redacted]: Cruise engine spooling... goodbye, miss Anna, and godspeed.
[17.07.2021 16:22:00] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Farewell, [Redacted] [Redacted].
[17.07.2021 16:22:31] BAF|A-HMS-Tiger: Anna: Helm, get us out of here.

Her incident with Vice Admiral

[09.06.2021 19:30:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Tallyho, Gaian.
[09.06.2021 19:30:48] [Redacted]: Ah, there's a familiar contact... greetings, vice admiral. [Redacted] here. How goes?
[09.06.2021 19:31:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: All is good, so far at the very least. Thought about paying a visit here to vertify the status of Livingston's guard.
[09.06.2021 19:31:36] [Redacted]: Found anything interesting out there? Because, er, I didn't... not a whiff of Outcasts, haha, or the rest.
[09.06.2021 19:31:53] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What about you and your Gaian friends? Anything else to report?
[09.06.2021 19:32:48] [Redacted]: Livingstone... the battlecruiser over at the station, right? No, nothing so far, sir - not sure if that's good or bad.
[09.06.2021 19:33:15] [Redacted]: Quiet as the grave. Fits the place, really...
[09.06.2021 19:33:51] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Indeed, Livigston is the battlecruiser we mentioned in our communications. I am glad that there are no other matters to
[09.06.2021 19:34:01] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -discuss about. It appears the Royalists have fallen silent.
[09.06.2021 19:34:36] [Redacted]: Mm. I keep going out on sorties, our comrades do as well, but it's like they just disappeared off the face of Sirius.
[09.06.2021 19:34:38] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What is the state of the Artio? Are repairs completed yet?
[09.06.2021 19:34:58] [Redacted]: Maybe we DID damage them a lot, despite the defeat. Wouldn't that be nice, haha...
[09.06.2021 19:35:24] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I very much doubt we made them retreat. It is all just the silence before the storm.
[09.06.2021 19:35:49] Death: pity.me was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[09.06.2021 19:35:59] [Redacted]: Oh, the Artio? It's almost ready, sir, the armour plating's been redone and the turret gyroscopes are now finally up-to-date. -
[09.06.2021 19:36:23] [Redacted]: No more of my jury-rigging holding them into the hardpoints, thankfully.
[09.06.2021 19:36:47] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Those are good news, then! I am looking forward to strenghten our cooperation - and we will have an easier time once-
[09.06.2021 19:36:54] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -the Artio is operationable.
[09.06.2021 19:37:05] [Redacted]: There's been a LOT of, er, 'creative improvisation' out there, as we were making our way back... things that'd make any eng-
[09.06.2021 19:37:09] [Redacted]: -engineer cry...
[09.06.2021 19:37:38] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Of course, but that is to be expected when there is a lack of specialized drydocks, am I correct?
[09.06.2021 19:38:26] [Redacted]: Indeed. Well, lack of specialised /anything/ out there on the far fringes - save for the odd Freeports, and bless those Zoners
[09.06.2021 19:38:41] [Redacted]: for setting up shop in places no sane man ever would!
[09.06.2021 19:39:19] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Hmph. The zoners, you say... I do not have a good opinion on them. Nevertheless, I agree with what you've said.
[09.06.2021 19:39:31] [Redacted]: Oh? Why's that, sir?
[09.06.2021 19:39:53] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: They are nothing but cowards who ran from the colonies.
[09.06.2021 19:40:23] [Redacted]: They're a bit weird, thinking they're better off on the fringes, yeah... but I don't know, I think it takes some guts to-
[09.06.2021 19:40:38] [Redacted]: -give the wilds out a bash, you know? And stay there, too.
[09.06.2021 19:41:09] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The far fringe areas are easier to live in when you have the right contacts.
[09.06.2021 19:41:35] [Redacted]: The colonies aren't a nice place, Gaia forbid, but the farther out you go, you kind of start missing the attentions of the-
[09.06.2021 19:41:47] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The right contacts, of course, come at a cost. But I believe there is no need to specificy which one.
[09.06.2021 19:42:07] [Redacted]: -usual nuisances. Those talk to you - not politely, but they do.
[09.06.2021 19:42:45] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The colonies are the best place to live in. Living on the far edges of them is dangerous unless you are very prepared.
[09.06.2021 19:43:07] [Redacted]: Er, Corsairs and Outcasts, right? They're their own houses, basically... and they get really territorial about strange unan-
[09.06.2021 19:43:23] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What of them?
[09.06.2021 19:43:57] [Redacted]: -nounced warships showing up on their territory. I thought you meant them when you said the 'right contacts'.
[09.06.2021 19:44:40] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: No, no. The Outcasts and Corsairs are to be destroyed on sight. As for the right contacts... there are far more-
[09.06.2021 19:44:45] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -powerful forces out there.
[09.06.2021 19:44:52] [Redacted]: Huh?
[09.06.2021 19:45:10] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Indeed. I will not go into details.
[09.06.2021 19:45:49] [Redacted]: Er, alright. I'm guessing it's not the squids... they never seemed all that interesting in contacting us with anything but lots
[09.06.2021 19:45:55] [Redacted]: and lots of directed energy...
[09.06.2021 19:46:10] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Squids? You mean... the Nomads?
[09.06.2021 19:46:30] [Redacted]: Come to think of it, the last one I met was the friendliest one I'd ever seen. And it -still- tried to murder us!
[09.06.2021 19:46:58] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: That is in their nature. They murder anyone who is of no interest to them.
[09.06.2021 19:47:02] [Redacted]: Yeah, those things. Sorry, I'm just used to calling them that, because well...
[09.06.2021 19:47:22] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: It is also why I requested all available information about them. It is important for our goals.
[09.06.2021 19:48:09] [Redacted]: Mm. Well, unfortunately there's been no hide nor tentacle of them either, not around the place... I'm still wondering what was
[09.06.2021 19:48:26] [Redacted]: all that about. The 'trials' thing, and the light and the dark...
[09.06.2021 19:49:00] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Trials? Huh. Right. Sounds familiar.
[09.06.2021 19:49:13] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What else was mentioned?
[09.06.2021 19:49:43] [Redacted]: It all sounds like it's from a novel when I say it out loud, haha... but well, it was real. Um, I think the captain filled you-
[09.06.2021 19:50:05] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: You were there. You must know better than the Captain.
[09.06.2021 19:50:29] [Redacted]: -in sir, the thing really didn't make much sense to me and the Maquis guys didn't even sound like they could hear it...
[09.06.2021 19:50:50] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Of course they didn't. Only certain individuals can.
[09.06.2021 19:50:55] [Redacted]: W-what?
[09.06.2021 19:51:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: They communicate telepathically.
[09.06.2021 19:51:41] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: At least that is what our information says about them.
[09.06.2021 19:51:53] [Redacted]: R-right, yes. Wait... does that mean I'm psychic or something? Or that it only wanted to talk to me?
[09.06.2021 19:52:06] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The latter, of course.
[09.06.2021 19:53:00] [Redacted]: W-what?! Why? I'm- I'm just a nobody pilot, and not even a good one!
[09.06.2021 19:53:41] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I do not know. Perhaps the creature will show that the next time you will encounter it.
[09.06.2021 19:53:57] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: However it is best to avoid them.
[09.06.2021 19:54:36] [Redacted]: The thing... it said, when it first 'appeared', or well, it was made to appear, it said that we will change our mind about them
[09.06.2021 19:55:01] [Redacted]: And then it rattled on about this trial it wanted us to pass...
[09.06.2021 19:55:40] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Awkwardly familiar. It is most interesting that it mentioned such subjects.
[09.06.2021 19:56:08] [Redacted]: You... you've met it too?
[09.06.2021 19:57:15] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I will not go into details. Such information is classified. It is a more serious matter than some Royalists.
[09.06.2021 19:58:03] [Redacted]: B-by the Stars, really?! I mean, I guess, since they're aliens and they act like that, but... oh dear...
[09.06.2021 19:58:48] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The right contacts at the right time will prove it to you as well. Eventually.
[09.06.2021 19:59:22] [Redacted]: Who are these contacts, sir? Should we be looking out for someone in particular?
[09.06.2021 19:59:24] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Complicated talk, isn't it?
[09.06.2021 19:59:42] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: No, no. Do not look for anyone.
[09.06.2021 19:59:54] [Redacted]: Y-yeah, to be honest, it's... it's a lot to take in, sir. It's...
[09.06.2021 20:00:28] [Redacted]: It's bad enough some giant alien squid wants to talk to ME about light and trials, of all people, and now there's these shadowy
[09.06.2021 20:00:39] [Redacted]: contacts too that will 'make things clear'...
[09.06.2021 20:01:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: That is why I specifically told you to avoid direct conflict. We wouldn't want unnecessary casualties, would we?
[09.06.2021 20:02:00] [Redacted]: All I wanted to do is help save Gaia... not all of this...
[09.06.2021 20:02:11] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Very good, then.
[09.06.2021 20:02:33] [Redacted]: W-well, I'm not one to shoot first if I can help it, and poking one such giant thing seems like a REALLY bad idea in general...
[09.06.2021 20:02:52] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Indeed it a bad idea.
[09.06.2021 20:02:58] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: It is, even.
[09.06.2021 20:04:13] [2021-06-09] 20:04:12 You have received 5.000.000 credits from BAF|A-HMS-Majestic
[09.06.2021 20:04:25] [Redacted]: *long sigh.* I... I guess I'll just have to keep going, do I? Not like there's going any back now, after... that.
[09.06.2021 20:04:49] [Redacted]: And stumbling across you in New London, and joining the Gaians...
[09.06.2021 20:04:58] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I transferred a small 'donation' to your neural net account. I believe you can forget that we ever brought the subject-
[09.06.2021 20:05:05] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -of Nomads up.
[09.06.2021 20:05:14] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: It is in our common interest.
[09.06.2021 20:05:38] [Redacted]: Er... right, sir. We never talked about any of that, haha... but, may I ask you a question, sir?
[09.06.2021 20:05:41] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: And you are correct... there is no going back after so much time.
[09.06.2021 20:05:49] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: You may, most certainly.
[09.06.2021 20:07:07] [Redacted]: Like, I'm no good at political things or diplomacy, or any of that stuff... but if I can be direct, how do you see us working-
[09.06.2021 20:07:16] [Redacted]: -together?
[09.06.2021 20:07:49] [Redacted]: Like, once the Royalists are gone. Or the sq- erm, the other things are.
[09.06.2021 20:07:50] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: In order to work together we first need a common enemy. With the Royalists and other Gauls falling silent, there is no-
[09.06.2021 20:07:51] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -threat.
[09.06.2021 20:08:59] [Redacted]: Mm... and what would that be, then? The other things? Or even, does there have to be an enemy?
[09.06.2021 20:09:24] [Redacted]: What is it you'd like to see happen, vice admiral?
[09.06.2021 20:09:46] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The 'other things' are not of any concern for the time being.
[09.06.2021 20:10:20] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: As I have mentioned to your Captain, we can only work together so long as we have a common goal. With the Royalists-
[09.06.2021 20:10:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: -gone, there isn't one anymore.
[09.06.2021 20:10:36] [Redacted]: Oh...
[09.06.2021 20:10:47] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: But I believe there is no need to maintain a hostile status with your squadron.
[09.06.2021 20:10:54] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Do you agree?
[09.06.2021 20:11:36] [Redacted]: W-well, yes, of course... we're not looking to make enemies, you and your fleetmates have been all reasonable...
[09.06.2021 20:12:38] [Redacted]: I don't really know what does the captain think, she's much better at seeing the bigger picture. All I know is, well... I said-
[09.06.2021 20:12:54] [Redacted]: -what is it I really care about, why I even took up arms for it...
[09.06.2021 20:14:02] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: My guess is that you care about Gaia and Bretonia. Everyone born in those places should do.
[09.06.2021 20:14:06] [Redacted]: Was that the same with you, sir? Had something you really wanted to protect, and that's why you're in the Armed Forces?
[09.06.2021 20:14:31] Death: E.Taylor suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[09.06.2021 20:15:01] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I did, of cource. I even sworn to protect Bretonia and act according to the people's interests.
[09.06.2021 20:15:06] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: //course
[09.06.2021 20:15:51] [Redacted]: Heh... and still we ended up like this. It's funny...
[09.06.2021 20:16:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Humanity has always preferred looking at the smaller picture. It is the reason so many conflicts have started.
[09.06.2021 20:17:13] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: If you open your eyes, however... and look at the bigger picture... you will find peace.
[09.06.2021 20:17:54] [Redacted]: Yeah. Only thinking on the short term, chasing this one goal, this one achievement, this one new shiny thing, stack of credits-
[09.06.2021 20:18:24] [Redacted]: one by one, and consequences be damned... and you get the way Bretonia is right now. No offence.
[09.06.2021 20:18:37] [Redacted]: Hm... peace? You think so, sir?
[09.06.2021 20:19:02] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: You heard me right. Peace.
[09.06.2021 20:19:29] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Bretonia is in a difficult state, I agree. Our house is in ruins.
[09.06.2021 20:19:39] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The Northern part, at least.
[09.06.2021 20:19:46] [Redacted]: I don't know... I think I heard the captain quote something from a book, a line that went like "with great knowledge, -
[09.06.2021 20:20:26] [Redacted]: -comes great sorrow". Not sure about you, but... even if I don't exactly think we're wrong in what we think, maybe even what we
[09.06.2021 20:21:21] [Redacted]: do so long as it doesn't hurt innocents, but peace is something we've never had. I certainly didn't get much of it.
[09.06.2021 20:22:19] [Redacted]: It's fighting the good fight, in a way... but that's it, isn't it? Fighting. I don't see the peace, sir. Can you show me where-
[09.06.2021 20:22:21] [Redacted]: -it is?
[MANUAL EDIT] SYS: This is where he did the telepathy. "Yours shall find peace at the right moment, ours revealed information to yours", is what it sounded like. The words were easy to make out, but the buzzing...
[09.06.2021 20:24:35] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Right... where were we?
[09.06.2021 20:24:38] [Redacted]: W-what?!
[09.06.2021 20:24:56] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What was the discussion about, again?
[09.06.2021 20:25:13] [Redacted]: I... I... er...
[09.06.2021 20:25:41] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What is it, Captain?
[09.06.2021 20:25:50] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: //pilot
[09.06.2021 20:26:22] [Redacted]: N-nothing! Nothing! I-I thought I heard something, haha, but it's just... just the comms acting up!
[09.06.2021 20:26:48] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Likely just the interference.
[09.06.2021 20:26:57] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Shall we get back to the discussion, then?
[09.06.2021 20:27:29] [Redacted]: N-now if you'll excuse me, I-I think I better RTB before- t-the discussion?
[09.06.2021 20:27:46] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: And for what reason?
[09.06.2021 20:28:47] [Redacted]: W-well I've been on patrol for a while, right, and I was supposed to check in some time ago, but then w-we got talking, and you
[09.06.2021 20:28:54] [Redacted]: know... haha...
[09.06.2021 20:29:59] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Very well then. Proceed when you are ready.
[09.06.2021 20:30:19] [Redacted]: T-thanks sir. We'll be in touch, a-and godspeed.
[09.06.2021 20:30:21] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Helm, cloak up.
[09.06.2021 20:30:39] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Farewell. Do not forget what we've mentioned.
[09.06.2021 20:31:00] [Redacted]: Won't! Not anytime soon!

Recordings with gauls and aliens in Edinburgh

[18.06.2021 16:53:11] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: CIC: HMS Majestic to John English. Turn around at once. This is a restricted area.
[18.06.2021 16:53:47] Fleur-Audefroi!: Change?
[18.06.2021 16:53:47] John_English: are you sure about that
[18.06.2021 16:54:00] [Redacted]: W-wha-
[18.06.2021 16:54:00] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Now they come. Helm, full power!
[18.06.2021 16:54:02] Fleur-Audefroi!: bow to the King creatured!
[18.06.2021 16:54:06] Fleur-Audefroi!: Creatures
[18.06.2021 16:54:19] [Redacted]: WHAT IN GAIA'S NAME ARE THOSE?!
[18.06.2021 16:54:36] Fleur-Audefroi!: Animals to be tamed for the amusement of King Charles
[MANUAL EDIT] SYS: It mocked the Royalist, saying something like "bow to who, darkling?"
[18.06.2021 16:54:42] Fleur-Audefroi!: We shall build cages
[18.06.2021 16:54:47] Fleur-Audefroi!: We shall feed them
[18.06.2021 16:54:54] [Redacted]: Shut up you! Vice admiral, what is going on here?!
[18.06.2021 16:55:01] Fleur-Audefroi!: They shall dance and entertain our# King
[18.06.2021 16:55:22] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I believe you can see that with your very own eyes.
[18.06.2021 16:55:29] Fleur-Audefroi!: oh how pleased will Charles be when we have tamed creatures of the wild
[18.06.2021 16:55:49] [Redacted]: I-I see monsters! And that insane Gaul!
[18.06.2021 16:55:56] Fleur-Audefroi!: Insane?
[18.06.2021 16:56:00] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Good. Get rid of the Gaul.
[18.06.2021 16:56:08] Fleur-Audefroi!: We Fleur are the pinnacle of existence
[18.06.2021 16:56:29] [Redacted]: W-what? And the creatures? Aren't they a little more of a threat?!
[18.06.2021 16:56:49] Fleur-Audefroi!: Animals to be tamed for the King's amusement
[18.06.2021 16:56:51] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: A lone battlecruiser stands no chance against such large warform. Are you insane?
[18.06.2021 16:57:23] [Redacted]: W-well... what do we do then?
[18.06.2021 16:57:35] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Evacuate the area. Unless you prefer getting killed?
[18.06.2021 16:57:55] [Redacted]: Rrgh...
[18.06.2021 16:59:14] Fleur-Audefroi!: Metal cages!
[18.06.2021 16:59:37] Fleur-Audefroi!: The unified Sirius under Gallic rule whall have sophisticated means to make you feel comnfortable
[18.06.2021 16:59:47] Fleur-Audefroi!: In your role as jovial clowns to the Court
[18.06.2021 17:00:17] Fleur-Audefroi!: The King's Courtiers shall find great honor in the King granting them visits to your enclosures
[18.06.2021 17:00:25] [Redacted]: By the Stars... what a gigantic creature...
[18.06.2021 17:01:06] [Redacted]: W-what is it that you want, you... things?
[18.06.2021 17:01:39] [Redacted]: Why are you here? What do you want from us?!
[MANUAL EDIT] SYS: It said something like "looking into you, darkling"; they say 'darkling' a lot, like we humans are dark and they're the light...
[18.06.2021 17:02:10] [Redacted]: Wh-what's that supposed to mean?
[18.06.2021 17:02:23] [Redacted]: Is it going to be something about bringing peace?
[MANUAL EDIT] SYS: It replied then, saying "perhaps". They said other things too over the course of this, but it was a mess and I don't remember them well, this one stuck out to me since it was talking to me.
[18.06.2021 17:02:37] Fleur-Audefroi!: and by your king, I mean your kind, unless you too worship your own king
[18.06.2021 17:02:58] Fleur-Audefroi!: He shall retain his tytle in the enclosures provided to you
[18.06.2021 17:03:03] Fleur-Audefroi!: Title rather!
[18.06.2021 17:03:13] Fleur-Audefroi!: Then again, who knows if you spell words the same way we do
[18.06.2021 17:03:42] [Redacted]: T-then what is it, thing?
[18.06.2021 17:05:06] Fleur-Audefroi!: Gaian
[18.06.2021 17:05:09] Fleur-Audefroi!: Have you rejoiced?
[18.06.2021 17:05:21] [Redacted]: Have you not gotten yourself killed yet?!
[18.06.2021 17:05:26] Fleur-Audefroi!: Is my power enough to finally confince you that there is no point in resisting?
[18.06.2021 17:05:44] Fleur-Audefroi!: Bretonia belongs by right to King Charles
[18.06.2021 17:05:52] Fleur-Audefroi!: Your people will be his subjects
[18.06.2021 17:05:57] Fleur-Audefroi!: why postpone the inevitable
[18.06.2021 17:05:59] RNS-Charente: La'Row: You know well, Le Roi is dead.
[18.06.2021 17:06:16] Fleur-Audefroi!: Blasphemy of a deluded unknown voice
[18.06.2021 17:06:30] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The King is dead indeed. Now lay down your weapons.
[18.06.2021 17:06:36] RNS-Charente: La'Row: DeFrance should return to the throne, however Charles has already died.
[18.06.2021 17:06:51] Fleur-Audefroi!: You can live in your deluded reality woven by lies
[18.06.2021 17:07:09] Fleur-Audefroi!: He shall return and unify all Gallia in an instant.
[18.06.2021 17:07:25] [Redacted]: Am I the only one concerned about the giant aliens in the system more than the lunatic?!
[18.06.2021 17:07:28] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: [Redacted], I must say... you do certainly seek death if you put yourself in such locations.
[18.06.2021 17:07:40] Fleur-Audefroi!: These creatures will be an amusement for the King
[18.06.2021 17:07:48] [Redacted]: T-they're righ here! Next to Gaia! I-I can't back down!
[18.06.2021 17:07:50] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: For the dead King?
[18.06.2021 17:08:07] Fleur-Audefroi!: The glory of Unified Sirius under Gallic rule shall tame them for the King's amusement.
[18.06.2021 17:08:25] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: So much for old values. You lot never change.
[18.06.2021 17:08:35] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Ah I see, probably one of the soldiers which got injured from the war.
[18.06.2021 17:08:37] [Redacted]: I'm no fighter, but I have to at least try to... stop them from whatever they want to do with our home!!
[18.06.2021 17:08:44] Fleur-Audefroi!: The king's word is bond. Charles wills it!
[18.06.2021 17:08:45] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Brain damage possibly.
[18.06.2021 17:09:08] Fleur-Audefroi!: you don't even have the audacity to reveal yourself
[18.06.2021 17:09:10] Fleur-Audefroi!: Deluded one
[18.06.2021 17:09:16] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Royalist fanatics such as yourself will only perish.
[18.06.2021 17:09:30] Fleur-Audefroi!: We have achieved victories
[18.06.2021 17:09:37] Fleur-Audefroi!: 6 billion little victories on Leeds
[18.06.2021 17:09:42] Fleur-Audefroi!: 900 million on New London
[18.06.2021 17:09:48] Fleur-Audefroi!: many more victories will follow
[18.06.2021 17:10:02] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The only thing that will follow is your complete annihilation.
[18.06.2021 17:10:13] Fleur-Audefroi!: You were at the front yet are afraid to reveal yourself
[18.06.2021 17:10:16] Fleur-Audefroi!: you sicken me
[18.06.2021 17:10:33] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Your brain damage sickens me more than some feelings of unimportant soldier.
[18.06.2021 17:10:42] Fleur-Audefroi!: You are getting lost in the web of your delusional lies
[18.06.2021 17:11:15] [Redacted]: Those lights... they're leaving?
[18.06.2021 17:11:24] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Oui, they were.
[18.06.2021 17:11:54] Fleur-Audefroi!: You shall stay here for the King's amusement
[18.06.2021 17:12:15] [Redacted]: A-away from me!
[18.06.2021 17:12:29] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: What in Queen's name is this?
[18.06.2021 17:12:44] [Redacted]: I wish I bloody well knew!
[18.06.2021 17:12:52] Fleur-Audefroi!: well delusional one
[18.06.2021 17:13:15] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Do it one more time.
[18.06.2021 17:13:22] Fleur-Audefroi!: you deny our King charles
[18.06.2021 17:13:31] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: The King is dead!
[18.06.2021 17:13:40] Fleur-Audefroi!: another deluded one
[18.06.2021 17:13:42] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Oui, Le Roi is dead... Everyone knows it.
[18.06.2021 17:13:56] Fleur-Audefroi!: His plan works perfectly
[18.06.2021 17:14:04] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: Yet they try to say otherwise. Amusing.
[18.06.2021 17:14:07] Fleur-Audefroi!: You all are caught in his intrigue
[18.06.2021 17:14:17] [Redacted]: He's... what?
[18.06.2021 17:15:09] Fleur-Audefroi!: You are all lost children
[18.06.2021 17:15:15] Fleur-Audefroi!: Perhaps this is his plan all along
[18.06.2021 17:15:21] RNS-Charente: La'Row: Perhaps?
[18.06.2021 17:15:22] BAF|A-HMS-Majestic: Oliver: I believe you are the one lost in lies.
[18.06.2021 17:15:24] [Redacted]: *heavy sigh.*
[18.06.2021 17:15:25] RNS-Charente: La'Row: So you don't know
[18.06.2021 17:15:31] Fleur-Audefroi!: he wants to see you squabble aimless,
[18.06.2021 17:15:49] Fleur-Audefroi!: Now you leave
[18.06.2021 17:15:58] Fleur-Audefroi!: confirming the thruth
