Commander. I'm keeping this one off the open channel.
I don't care where the new guy comes from. I don't care what he's done. Let's just say he rubs me the wrong way. A little high and mighty.
To put it simply, I want to take him out on patrol. Somewhere remote. I want to rough him up a little, remind him that he's here on our good graces and take him down a peg before his attitude becomes a problem. For him or for us.
What do you think?

Just make sure this "decimation" isn't so thorough they can no longer physically serve out their sentence. They need to be able-bodied to do that, after all. We can't have potential upstarts in the Alliance of.. their sort, a coup here of any kind at a time like this would be fatal.
Proceed as needed.

The violent option wasn't needed, for a change. Had a chat with our legionnaire. Tried to drill it into her head that she'll end up dead in Ramsey's back alleys if she keeps up her first impression. Don't know if I got through, but she at least seems to get the risks a little more. Logs attached.
[14.02.2025 17:54:25] XA-Rattlesnake: So.
[14.02.2025 17:54:29] XA-Rattlesnake: You're the new one, hm?
[14.02.2025 17:54:30] XA-U-Deadmeat: Misfire?
[14.02.2025 17:54:36] XA-Rattlesnake: Mhm.
[14.02.2025 17:54:39] XA-U-Deadmeat: You could say that.
[14.02.2025 17:54:57] XA-Rattlesnake: You either are or you aren't.
[14.02.2025 17:55:13] XA-U-Deadmeat: Newest to the penal unit, sure.
[14.02.2025 17:55:33] XA-Rattlesnake: So. What's your story?
[14.02.2025 17:55:39] XA-Rattlesnake: Came in clean? Got caught?
[14.02.2025 17:56:02] XA-U-Deadmeat: I was on the frontline during 'cruz siege.
[14.02.2025 17:56:11] XA-U-Deadmeat: And my wingmen ran away.
[14.02.2025 17:56:16] XA-Rattlesnake: I'm sure he did.
[14.02.2025 17:56:24] [OOC] XA-Rattlesnake: they did *
[14.02.2025 17:56:36] XA-Rattlesnake: So you're, what? The last honourable defender?
[14.02.2025 17:56:45] XA-U-Deadmeat: No, I ran away as well.
[14.02.2025 17:56:52] XA-Rattlesnake: 'Least you're upfront about it.
[14.02.2025 17:56:58] XA-Rattlesnake: That's something I guess.
[14.02.2025 17:57:02] XA-U-Deadmeat: Ended on Ithaca for three years trapped with a pack of degenerates.
[14.02.2025 17:57:14] XA-Rattlesnake: Escaped?
[14.02.2025 17:57:41] XA-U-Deadmeat: I bought my freedom after dozens of raids.
[14.02.2025 17:57:49] XA-U-Deadmeat: And then ended with yet another pack of degenerates.
[14.02.2025 17:58:06] XA-Rattlesnake: And what pack might that be?
[14.02.2025 17:58:20] XA-U-Deadmeat: Fucking cowards.
[14.02.2025 17:58:26] XA-Rattlesnake: Not much of an answer.
[14.02.2025 17:58:26] XA-U-Deadmeat: Task Force Prometheus.
[14.02.2025 17:58:30] XA-Rattlesnake: Ah. Hah.
[14.02.2025 17:58:40] XA-Rattlesnake: Good chance we've run into each other before then.
[14.02.2025 17:58:52] XA-U-Deadmeat: Surprisngly no, we didn't.
[14.02.2025 17:59:01] XA-Rattlesnake: You never did answer my question, though. Come in clean, or captured?
[14.02.2025 17:59:02] XA-U-Deadmeat: Never had to chance to deal with the Alliance.
[14.02.2025 17:59:09] XA-U-Deadmeat: I came in clean.
[14.02.2025 17:59:13] XA-Rattlesnake: Mm.
[14.02.2025 17:59:19] XA-Rattlesnake: Fun little stunt you pulled.
[14.02.2025 17:59:25] XA-Rattlesnake: On the comms.
[14.02.2025 17:59:49] XA-U-Deadmeat: I told Cobra I was looking for duty after they got sick of me and I got sick of them.
[14.02.2025 18:00:01] XA-Rattlesnake: You're not great at leaving first impressions.
[14.02.2025 18:00:02] XA-U-Deadmeat: He said his terms, I agreed.
[14.02.2025 18:00:20] XA-U-Deadmeat: So what?
[14.02.2025 18:00:38] XA-Rattlesnake: Your being here is a privilege. Don't push your luck.
[14.02.2025 18:01:08] XA-U-Deadmeat: I'm not spineless, like them.
[14.02.2025 18:01:21] XA-Rattlesnake: No. You're an idiot with too much pride for your own good.
[14.02.2025 18:01:26] XA-U-Deadmeat: Pride?
[14.02.2025 18:01:29] XA-U-Deadmeat: Pride for what?
[14.02.2025 18:01:36] XA-Rattlesnake: Arrogance, then.
[14.02.2025 18:01:47] XA-U-Deadmeat: Right...
[14.02.2025 18:02:10] XA-Rattlesnake: You ever flown combat before?
[14.02.2025 18:02:28] XA-U-Deadmeat: Meaning?
[14.02.2025 18:02:32] XA-Rattlesnake: It's a simple question.
[14.02.2025 18:03:11] XA-U-Deadmeat: I was sitting in one of those coffins when the Navy knocked the door back in Vespucci.
[14.02.2025 18:03:30] XA-Rattlesnake: Well. Let me give it to you straight then.
[14.02.2025 18:03:43] XA-Rattlesnake: Lot of people around here have flown combat. Lot of people around here don't like your kind.
[14.02.2025 18:03:53] XA-Rattlesnake: It is in your own best interest to keep your nose clean, and to not step on anyone's toes.
[14.02.2025 18:04:08] XA-Rattlesnake: If you cause trouble I will put you down myself, if need be.
[14.02.2025 18:04:21] XA-U-Deadmeat: MY kind?
[14.02.2025 18:04:25] XA-Rattlesnake: Yeah. Your kind.
[14.02.2025 18:04:40] XA-U-Deadmeat: I guess we're even.
[14.02.2025 18:04:53] XA-Rattlesnake: Even?
[14.02.2025 18:05:21] XA-U-Deadmeat: You didn't like my little mockery of their teenage logo.
[14.02.2025 18:05:31] XA-U-Deadmeat: And you called me "their kind".
[14.02.2025 18:05:38] XA-U-Deadmeat: Which I take offense for.
[14.02.2025 18:05:40] XA-U-Deadmeat: We're even.
[14.02.2025 18:05:45] XA-Rattlesnake: No. I didn't like that you put that shit in my comms channel.
[14.02.2025 18:05:58] XA-Rattlesnake: And I'm trying to do you a favour by telling you that it will get you killed if you aren't careful.
[14.02.2025 18:06:19] Tip: You can send cash to nearby players without needing to type their name by selecting their ship and using /givecasht or /gct command.
[14.02.2025 18:06:42] XA-U-Deadmeat: Command told me to get rid of it and I will.
[14.02.2025 18:06:49] XA-Rattlesnake: Good.
[14.02.2025 18:07:00] XA-U-Deadmeat: Did they kill one of yours?
[14.02.2025 18:07:09] XA-Rattlesnake: No.
[14.02.2025 18:07:22] XA-Rattlesnake: I don't care where you came from. I care that you attitude is a problem, from what I've seen of it.
[14.02.2025 18:07:26] XA-Rattlesnake: I'm here to fix that problem.
[14.02.2025 18:07:31] XA-Rattlesnake: Or, rather, to warn you to fix it yourself.
[14.02.2025 18:07:40] [OOC] XA-Rattlesnake: your*
[14.02.2025 18:07:42] XA-U-Deadmeat: So you just take it personal.
[14.02.2025 18:08:06] XA-Rattlesnake: No. I don't.
[14.02.2025 18:08:10] XA-Rattlesnake: In fact, you're lucky I don't.
[14.02.2025 18:08:36] XA-U-Deadmeat: Then why the fuck is a logo this big of a deal?
[14.02.2025 18:08:56] XA-Rattlesnake: Because you have to be a special kind of idiot to put that kind of thing in an alliance-wide channel.
[14.02.2025 18:09:13] XA-Rattlesnake: Like I said before. Plenty of people have grudges. Lot of those will see you as an easy way to take them out.
[14.02.2025 18:09:43] XA-Rattlesnake: We have enough shit on our collective plate as is.
[14.02.2025 18:09:46] XA-Rattlesnake: We don't need an agitator.
[14.02.2025 18:10:04] XA-U-Deadmeat: They'll change their mind when they see I despise them as much as them.
[14.02.2025 18:10:39] XA-Rattlesnake: Yeah I don't think people will necessarily stop to take the time to take you on a date, kid.
[14.02.2025 18:10:50] XA-Rattlesnake: First impressions.
[14.02.2025 18:10:53] XA-Rattlesnake: You're shit at them.
[14.02.2025 18:10:54] XA-Rattlesnake: Fix it.
[14.02.2025 18:10:58] XA-U-Deadmeat: I don't expect that either.
[14.02.2025 18:11:24] XA-Rattlesnake: What is it do you think you've signed up to, exactly?
[14.02.2025 18:11:42] XA-U-Deadmeat: Killing every last one of them.
[14.02.2025 18:11:48] XA-Rattlesnake: That's it?
[14.02.2025 18:11:59] XA-Rattlesnake: You didn't think at all as to how you might, I don't know, fit in? Not get shot?
[14.02.2025 18:12:01] XA-U-Deadmeat: Steps one at a time.
[14.02.2025 18:12:21] XA-Rattlesnake: You thought you'd just waltz in here and people would just accept you with open arms?
[14.02.2025 18:12:35] XA-U-Deadmeat: When you feel like you might get shot no matter where you go, you grow used to the feeling I guess.
[14.02.2025 18:12:41] XA-U-Deadmeat: No.
[14.02.2025 18:12:47] XA-U-Deadmeat: That's why I'm on the penal unit.
[14.02.2025 18:13:00] XA-U-Deadmeat: I don't expect them to like me either because I was one of them.
[14.02.2025 18:13:04] XA-Rattlesnake: Being used to the feeling ain't an excuse to give people a reason.
[14.02.2025 18:14:17] XA-Rattlesnake: Mmh.
[14.02.2025 18:14:18] XA-Rattlesnake: We're done here.
[14.02.2025 18:14:26] XA-U-Deadmeat: Right...
[14.02.2025 18:14:59] XA-U-Deadmeat: At least I expect they'd come face to face about it.
[14.02.2025 18:15:21] XA-Rattlesnake: Just keep your nose clean.
