FIELD TRANSMISSION

I decided to start using my holidays at the shipyard so that I can get out more. What a good decision!

There were almost too many things for me to say here. I guess I should at least say them in order.

First there was an incident at Hannover that resulted in my ship being towed to Wedel. I unfortunately had to use nearly my entire stock of scrap and spare parts to get the hull sealed up again, but even so, I know what I'm doing, and we were back up and running in relatively short time.

We then went deep into the Walker, where things almost immediately became interesting.

There were tons of Hess, among others, shooting at our group in nearly each system except the furthest three which were desolate. Those last three were absolutely breathtaking, though for different reasons.

Omega-2 was vast and, as far as I can tell, completely devoid of activity. Though we did meet an explorer and another sentient ship here. Man, I would love to get my hands on one of them. I wonder if they would let me study them? Without hurting them of course! I want to go back and find them or one of their other units.

We followed them into Omega-97, another breathtaking sight, but a completely different system from 2. It was claustrophobic and full of radiation, dust, electricity, anomalies... I may have had a few close calls while trying to keep up with the AI, but luckily for everyone with me, I am good at flying the ships that I build myself.

After some dodging and weaving, and admittedly testing the modifications to my shields a few times(they held up well, by the way), we reached another jumphole that lead us into the Fischer-1171 system. Literally right on the edge of the accretion disc! One of the planets was being torn apart, exposing an unbelievable amount of highly valuable resources. Luckily there was a mining laser mounted on the Keimbombe. I didn't collect much, but I have already convinced myself to return in the near future, and will likely visit the broken planet again.

And then our friends on the way back...

I must have scraped that star corona to get away from those guys. I had to push the shield harmonic reinforcing generators to 112% duty cycle, and my hull took some damage, but the crew were unaffected and the Keimbombe made it out alive thanks to you(and my skills as a pilot, of course!). The interesting matter we picked up has been safely brought home. The dock workers insisted I give it to them and that it's "worthless," but I'm not as dumb as I look. I'm keeping it safe for now.

One day, I'll go back and I'll build a house out there. It will be good. We will have Grillgerichte and Bier, and we will laugh as we talk about the time the Unioners charted a system!

Please come home. I am waiting for you. With Bier!

[02.12.2025 19:48:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Glad to have you with me, Jack

[02.12.2025 19:49:05] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  Oh you enjoy the company of smugglers?  I suppose you'll have no choice as I know my way around the Deep Omegas.

[02.12.2025 19:49:09] UN|Hellion: Riehl: All ships, we'll rendezvous at Krefeld base, Cologne.

[02.12.2025 19:49:22] UN|Hellion: Riehl: You do? Color me impressed.

[02.12.2025 19:50:05] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  Of course I do.  Everyone wants their hands on the goods from out there.

[02.12.2025 19:52:14] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Jack was informing me about how he used to be a smuggler, in a prior life.

[02.12.2025 19:52:45] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Not that you''ve got out of that life, Jack, by joining up with us.

[02.12.2025 19:53:02] UN|Hellion: *you've

[02.12.2025 19:53:16] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I used to be a mechanic. A very boring life. A very shit boss.

[02.12.2025 19:53:32] UN|Hellion: Riehl: There's no better reason to join a Union than a terrible boss, friend.

[02.12.2025 19:53:44] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  Mhm, you still need me to help you with your relationships with the corsairs by moving artifacts and black market goods.

[02.12.2025 19:55:15] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Sure do. We all need each other.

[02.12.2025 19:56:03] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Got you at intermediate range, Keimbombe.

[02.12.2025 19:56:17] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Coming in, very hot.

[02.12.2025 19:56:56] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I am arriving in Cologne, presently

[02.12.2025 19:56:58] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Uh, do you have a systems issue, Hannes?

[02.12.2025 19:57:21] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I hope not. Are my engines on fire again?

[02.12.2025 19:58:18] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Well, given the abscence of Hesse firing on you

[02.12.2025 19:58:34] UN|Hellion: Riehl: You seem intact enough to me.

[02.12.2025 19:58:50] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: The tug was expensive and humiliating.

[02.12.2025 19:59:15] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Hah; did she scam you as well?

[02.12.2025 19:59:35] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Must be a red supporter.

[02.12.2025 19:59:44] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Laura's got less cushioning than the bow of her tug. She's a money supporter.

[02.12.2025 19:59:58] UN|Hellion: Riehl: She's meant to provide that service for free.

[02.12.2025 20:00:09] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Must've claimed you didn't have the right berthing adaptor, right?

[02.12.2025 20:00:23] 2025-12-02 20:00:23 SMT  Traffic control alert: UN|NebelFuchsin has docked

[02.12.2025 20:00:36] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: It may have been because I asked if I could... berth... with her.

[02.12.2025 20:00:49] UN|Hellion: Riehl: ....Mother of... You're insane.

[02.12.2025 20:00:55] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I like this guy.

[02.12.2025 20:01:00] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: What? She likes mechanics too.

[02.12.2025 20:01:21] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Who doesn't? We know what to twist.

[02.12.2025 20:01:25] 2025-12-02 20:01:25 SMT  Traffic control alert: UN|Hydra has docked

[02.12.2025 20:01:28] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Hey, Jack!

[02.12.2025 20:01:45] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  Why did you mention me so quickly?

[02.12.2025 20:01:47] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Apparently, Jack's our live-in resident expert on the Deep Omegas.

[02.12.2025 20:02:05] UN|Hellion: Riehl: You've been there before, says you. Would you mind taking the lead?

[02.12.2025 20:02:16] UN|NebelFuchsin: Alright junge, I'm rearmed, repaired and ready for escapades.

[02.12.2025 20:02:50] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  Alright so this time of year, the jumphole in Omega 55 is aligned with the Deep Omegas.

[02.12.2025 20:03:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Okay, M dels, escapades are on the menu.

[02.12.2025 20:03:15] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  I suggest we head to Omega 5.

[02.12.2025 20:03:33] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Ah, it turns out I *do* have a malfunction. The same as before. My nav is... Well, it's completely empty.

[02.12.2025 20:03:38] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Plotting a course to Stuttgart; from there, we'll head down to Omega five.

[02.12.2025 20:04:00] UN|Hellion: Riehl: All ships, follow my lead.

[02.12.2025 20:04:31] UN|Hydra: Deep Omegas, here we come.

[02.12.2025 20:04:35] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We'll fill that navigation plot up soon enough, Hannes.

[02.12.2025 20:07:40] UN|NebelFuchsin: I have a ship named FreeSpace, you'll be fine

[02.12.2025 20:07:59] UN|NebelFuchsin: Lmao

[02.12.2025 20:08:04] UN|NebelFuchsin: Lmao

[02.12.2025 20:08:16] UN|Hellion: Riehl: What was that, Arbeiter?

[02.12.2025 20:08:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: He spoke Kusarian!

[02.12.2025 20:08:42] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Lah-Mao?

[02.12.2025 20:08:51] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Doesn't sound Kusarian.

[02.12.2025 20:08:52] UN|NebelFuchsin: Tut mir leid, I am reading the latest politikal comics. it's very silly.

[02.12.2025 20:09:00] UN|Hellion: Ja

[02.12.2025 20:11:21] UN|Hydra: What a beautiful sight.

[02.12.2025 20:11:40] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Omega-11's as beautiful as it is imposing.

[02.12.2025 20:12:26] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're not far from Omega Five.

[02.12.2025 20:12:46] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Sair country.

[02.12.2025 20:12:59] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Also Hessian country. We'd better be careful.

[02.12.2025 20:13:14] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Hopefully no Hels.

[02.12.2025 20:13:27] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Ick, the reds again

[02.12.2025 20:15:54] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're at the Omega Five jump hole.

[02.12.2025 20:17:12] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Alright, Jack, where's next on the list?

[02.12.2025 20:17:40] UN|Hoaxe: Jack: Omega-47, close to Coalition terrority.

[02.12.2025 20:18:08] UN|NebelFuchsin: Going to 47, yell if you need me

[02.12.2025 20:18:18] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Uh, you missed an adjective. That's danger-close to Coalition territory, Jack.

[02.12.2025 20:18:25] Mittag died to (\^/)Crius(58%)

[02.12.2025 20:18:31] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Okay, I'll follow your lead.

[02.12.2025 20:18:34] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Danger? Coalition?

[02.12.2025 20:18:49] UN|Hoaxe: Jack:  I know smuggling, not grammar.

[02.12.2025 20:19:00] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: There's only danger if there's a wedding ring.

[02.12.2025 20:19:06] UN|Hellion: Riehl: The Hessians couldn't pull of Vierlande alone - they used the Coalition's muscle to pull it off.

[02.12.2025 20:19:06] UN|Hoaxe: Amen.

[02.12.2025 20:19:22] UN|Hydra: Oh please not Coalition space...

[02.12.2025 20:19:36] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'll demotivate them with my good looks.

[02.12.2025 20:19:38] UN|Hellion: Riehl: That massacre was the result of the Coalition and the Red Hessians colluding together - to take down a rival.

[02.12.2025 20:19:44] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We'll have to move quickly.

[02.12.2025 20:19:52] (\^/)Athanas was killed by Razsh`Aegal(48%)

[02.12.2025 20:20:07] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Where next?

[02.12.2025 20:20:32] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We'd better be quick.

[02.12.2025 20:20:54] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Hoaxe, take the lead. Let's move it.

[02.12.2025 20:22:00] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: My engines are holding at one hundred aaand... eight percent duty-cycle. Surprisingly stable. A bit faster now.

[02.12.2025 20:22:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: It's been a few solid years since we were in this area.

[02.12.2025 20:23:59] UN|Hellion:  <Drive wake emission trail - detected>

[02.12.2025 20:24:44] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Careful - the barycenter of two close binaries isn't an ideal spot for lingering.

[02.12.2025 20:25:17] (\^/)Crius died to Razsh`Aegal(48%)

[02.12.2025 20:25:19] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: At least our ships don't have Roche limits.

[02.12.2025 20:25:45] UN|Hellion: Riehl: True, but everything's got a Roche limit if you yank at it hard enough.

[02.12.2025 20:26:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I'm forming up on the Keimbombe.

[02.12.2025 20:26:51] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Incoming hostiles! Take them out!

[02.12.2025 20:27:34] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Good kills, good kills - they're out of action.

[02.12.2025 20:27:36] UN|NebelFuchsin: A.R.: Forming up on you.

[02.12.2025 20:27:55] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Keep up!

[02.12.2025 20:29:08] UN|Hellion: Riehl: You're out of my sensor range; drop a locator beacon.

[02.12.2025 20:29:14] UN|-S-Keimbombe is rallying you to their position.

[02.12.2025 20:29:16] UN|Hoaxe is rallying you to their position.

[02.12.2025 20:29:51] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Is that a planet of some kind?

[02.12.2025 20:30:03] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I almost thought it was far away.

[02.12.2025 20:30:35] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Scanning... It's a nickle-ion mass, circularized by the weight of the heavier elements within. Mostly metals. 

[02.12.2025 20:30:44] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Sheer mass keeps it circularized.

[02.12.2025 20:30:53] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Seems like it's forming its own gravity well... Might be a protoplanet?

[02.12.2025 20:31:05] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Good eye.

[02.12.2025 20:31:19] UN|Hellion: Alarm! We've got incoming!

[02.12.2025 20:31:23] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Unionists, engage.

[02.12.2025 20:31:26] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Something about the mass making it spherical, meaning it's technically a dwarf planet?

[02.12.2025 20:32:37] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Sheesh. The Hessians don't relent out here.

[02.12.2025 20:32:49] UN|Hellion: Got more inbound. Hydra? Nebel? Keim? Take them out

[02.12.2025 20:34:54] UN|Hoaxe: ?:Ship detected on long range sensors.

[02.12.2025 21:21:26] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Hitting the bricks.

[02.12.2025 21:21:33] UN|NebelFuchsin: and by bricks I mean cruise

[02.12.2025 21:21:55] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Don't drop a brick; these tubes are for pissing, not shitting.

[02.12.2025 21:22:12] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Holy crap. Where are we?

[02.12.2025 21:22:16] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: You didn't make yours robust enough for a crap?

[02.12.2025 21:22:18] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: What is that star?

[02.12.2025 21:23:26] UN|Hellion: Riehl: *She's breathtaken.* ...W-where are we?

[02.12.2025 21:23:49] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Lot's of ice on that planet.

[02.12.2025 21:24:04] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: And lot's of fire on the moon.

[02.12.2025 21:24:10] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Poetic.

[02.12.2025 21:24:26] UN|Hellion: Riehl: A snowglobe in an inferno.

[02.12.2025 21:24:27] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Spying another major satellite off in the distance there.

[02.12.2025 21:24:30] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I believe we are lost.

[02.12.2025 21:24:37] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I'd believe that

[02.12.2025 21:25:00] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're not lost. Stellar cartography 1-0-1, you're never lost in view of known constellations.

[02.12.2025 21:25:16] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're in the Walker Nebula; simply real deep into it.

[02.12.2025 21:25:25] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I've never really studied my charts so... Wait, this is the walker nebula?

[02.12.2025 21:25:27] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Ah, they're all dots and clouds.

[02.12.2025 21:25:47] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Walker, crow, what's the difference? *She's jesting with you*

[02.12.2025 21:26:16] UN|Hellion: All fighters, form up

[02.12.2025 21:26:29] UN|Hellion: Let's gather in close around Hoaxe. I want to get some guncamera shots.

[02.12.2025 21:26:34] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I have a brown sphere, approximately... sixty six out.

[02.12.2025 21:27:00] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Right, let's take a look.

[02.12.2025 21:27:07] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I've still got fuel.

[02.12.2025 21:27:19] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I should have some in the wrecks I picked up as well.

[02.12.2025 21:27:28] UN|Hellion: Riehl: The spatial sweeps alone are an astrographer's nirvana.

[02.12.2025 21:27:32] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Hey! No one's bothering us here.

[02.12.2025 21:27:51] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Where are our friends, though?

[02.12.2025 21:28:02] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Uh-huh? Are you thinking of moving in, setting up shop, calling it home?

[02.12.2025 21:28:10] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I'd be tempted.

[02.12.2025 21:28:24] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Yeah,  me as well.

[02.12.2025 21:28:37] UN|Hellion: Riehl: alright, let's gawp and move

[02.12.2025 21:28:50] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I'm sure one of my contacts would be guaranteed..

[02.12.2025 21:28:51] UN|Hellion: Riehl: There's an uncharted world out there, and the Alster Union is going to chart it.

[02.12.2025 21:29:08] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Outbound to the brown microplanet.

[02.12.2025 21:29:21] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Micro? That's average sized.

[02.12.2025 21:29:30] UN|Hellion: Riehl: *spluttering*

[02.12.2025 21:30:12] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Adelaide, your ship's the only vessel here rigged for exploration.

[02.12.2025 21:30:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Got any insights into the hidden secrets of Omega Two?

[02.12.2025 21:31:06] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: It'd be easier if I could get a hold of Lusus but he's somewhere in the omicrons, I heard... Let's run some scans...

[02.12.2025 21:31:09] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I was wrong; it's not a rocky planet at all - it's a compact yellow gas planet with a sizable core.

[02.12.2025 21:31:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Careful. Gravitic sheer near that world is intense.

[02.12.2025 21:31:40] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Confirmed.

[02.12.2025 21:31:53] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: We joked about Roche limits earlier.

[02.12.2025 21:31:54] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Yeah, I'm curious about that other brown planetoid I spied, though

[02.12.2025 21:32:08] UN|Hellion: Riehl: The other one? Alright.

[02.12.2025 21:32:43] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Hoaxe, Jack, where are you, comrade?

[02.12.2025 21:32:53] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I've placed a probe near each one so far. Should make it possible to keep an eye on it, if nothing else. The data over time

[02.12.2025 21:33:01] UN|NebelFuchsin: should be interesting

[02.12.2025 21:33:21] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Clever thinking - that's about the second time you've startled me by not being the dunce of the formation.

[02.12.2025 21:33:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Is that a pulsar?

[02.12.2025 21:33:31] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Adelaide, do you have a background in the sciences?

[02.12.2025 21:33:48] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: It doesn't look like a pulsar. And yes, I may be the worst pilot we have but...

[02.12.2025 21:33:55] UN|Hoaxe: ?:We actually were led to this system, believe it or not, by four AI vessels.

[02.12.2025 21:34:15] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I have an applied sciences background. More... in the making the machines than running them, so this is exciting

[02.12.2025 21:34:17] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Got chatter on my comms.

[02.12.2025 21:34:24] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Affirm - I'm reading another AI.

[02.12.2025 21:34:24] UN|Hoaxe: ?:Apparently we got split up after the repeated Wild attacks.

[02.12.2025 21:34:33] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Breaking off.

[02.12.2025 21:34:41] UN|Hellion: R: We charted a world down there, one Axum.

[02.12.2025 21:34:59] UN|Hellion: R: Seems we weren't the first in this system - at least, not the first humans.

[02.12.2025 21:35:13] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: I'm reading a barren planetoid. This reads... like a moon. There's wind down there, so it's gotta have

[02.12.2025 21:35:18] UN|NebelFuchsin: an atmosphere?

[02.12.2025 21:35:29] UN|Hoaxe: ?:Hi sorry, had a little trouble.

[02.12.2025 21:35:32] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Not a breathable one, though

[02.12.2025 21:35:42] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Confirmed; your basic carbon nitrogen mix. Rarified enough to boil your eyes out.

[02.12.2025 21:36:00] UN|NebelFuchsin: I'm curious as to why this star has a dust ring, though... 

[02.12.2025 21:36:35] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Might be rememants from planetary formation; from the original accretion disk. Or an object broke up here - or there was

[02.12.2025 21:36:43] UN|Hoaxe: ?:No no nothing I couldn't handle.  Though we should do as the AI says if we don't want more trouble.

[02.12.2025 21:36:46] UN|Hellion:  an ancient field here once that ablated into dust from the solar wind.

[02.12.2025 21:36:55] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Ping your location, Hoaxe and I are at the first two Planets

[02.12.2025 21:37:03] Rallying 3 allies to your position.

[02.12.2025 21:37:11] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I've never seen a star like this. But then I'm no astrophysicist... not really. I'm extrapolating a lot from spaceship

[02.12.2025 21:37:13] UN|NebelFuchsin: sciences...

[02.12.2025 21:37:26] UN|Hellion: R: Nebel and I found a planitesimal, in orbit of the Secondary Binary.

[02.12.2025 21:37:37] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: <static> I almost missed -<static>-

[02.12.2025 21:37:47] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Are they in trouble...?

[02.12.2025 21:38:16] UN|Hellion: R: Can't leave it to chance if they are.

[02.12.2025 21:38:26] UN|Hellion: R: Advise we retrace our steps - in cruise.

[02.12.2025 21:38:34] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Pathing back to the larger planet first

[02.12.2025 21:38:58] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Got it, I'll head towards Axum. Double the coverage equals double the dragnet.

[02.12.2025 21:39:05] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're incoming.

[02.12.2025 21:39:08] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Reading them nearby. roughly 18k

[02.12.2025 21:39:29] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I see them.

[02.12.2025 21:39:29] UN|Hellion: R: Reading another synthetic.

[02.12.2025 21:39:33] Mallory: I have a fairly extensive language library, and adequate methods of communications.

[02.12.2025 21:39:38] UN|Hellion: R: This one's got a name - 'Mallory'.

[02.12.2025 21:39:52] UN|Hellion: R: I'll be damned; it even speaks Rheinish.

[02.12.2025 21:39:53] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Huh. I wish my ship was that smart.

[02.12.2025 21:40:10] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide:  You doing alright, Hannes? Jack?.

[02.12.2025 21:40:22] Mallory: As 'I' said. Different units, different focuses.

[02.12.2025 21:40:32] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Yeah, heard Jack had some trouble.

[02.12.2025 21:40:54] Mallory: Is this your entire 'cohort'?

[02.12.2025 21:40:56] UN|Hoaxe: ?:You're worried about me?  Cute.  I can handle a couple Wild ships.

[02.12.2025 21:41:13] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I care about your Lance.

[02.12.2025 21:41:15] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Oh thank goodness it speaks in something that doesn't require my hands inside of the signal array...

[02.12.2025 21:41:16] UN|Hellion: R: Contact  'Mallory', this is our entire flight. We numbered an additional escort vessel, but they had to turn back...

[02.12.2025 21:41:21] UN|Hellion:  due to a technical malfunction.

[02.12.2025 21:41:43] UN|Hellion: R: We encountered a number of other Synthetics, in a single flight, only a few hours ago.

[02.12.2025 21:41:54] Mallory: A preferable choice, if you value my input of the matter.

[02.12.2025 21:41:57] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I miss them already.

[02.12.2025 21:41:57] UN|Hellion: R: They... weren't as lucid. Or communicative.

[02.12.2025 21:41:58] UN|Hoaxe: ?:Gee thanks Hannes haha.

[02.12.2025 21:42:10] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I jest.

[02.12.2025 21:42:35] Mallory: I will 'take' that as a compliment. While I'm not entirely sure what to do with one.

[02.12.2025 21:42:51] UN|Hellion: R: We're... *she plays with the teeming constellations played splayed lexically before her.* ...explorers.

[02.12.2025 21:43:17] UN|Hellion: R: From a people alienated to our home; the House of Rheinland. One of the five colonies of Sirius.

[02.12.2025 21:43:34] Mallory: My limited database does not include 'Unioner explorers' as a particular subset.

[02.12.2025 21:43:49] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: We are honored to be the first!

[02.12.2025 21:44:05] UN|Hellion: R: Beheheh; Synthetic, we get that more often than you might think.

[02.12.2025 21:44:06] Mallory: Noted and saved for further reference.

[02.12.2025 21:44:35] UN|Hellion: R: If you're intaking only what the Neuralnet squalks about us, you'd assume we were some kinda' virulent plague.

[02.12.2025 21:44:47] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Say, /sarge/, I wanna go check out that huge brown planet you guys pinged earlier.

[02.12.2025 21:44:55] Mallory: I highly 'doubt' you get that more than I get a nickname of various 'household' appliances.

[02.12.2025 21:45:01] UN|Hellion: R: We're... anarchists. We believe in collective organization of people. *turning to Hannes*... Sarge, seriously?

[02.12.2025 21:45:12] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: *laughs* Saw it on neuralcast.

[02.12.2025 21:45:13] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Go ahead, it's got an atmosphere that'll burn your lungs if you fancy that.

[02.12.2025 21:45:16] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're all equals, and you're calling me Sarge? The AI's going to think we're some kind've paramilitary.

[02.12.2025 21:45:54] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: It seems smart - I mean the other one cracked a joke earlier!

[02.12.2025 21:45:55] Mallory: You will be cataloged as a subset one way or the other.

[02.12.2025 21:46:04] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Isn't that the truth?

[02.12.2025 21:46:06] Mallory: I 'try'.

[02.12.2025 21:46:14] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Can't escape it, we're all catalogued subsets of something.

[02.12.2025 21:46:17] UN|Hoaxe: J:Make sure to post a picture of my good side!

[02.12.2025 21:46:31] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Alright, Synthetic, mind if I throw questions back at you?

[02.12.2025 21:46:32] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I think, for the benefit of our synthetic friend, assuming they are anything like what we communicated with earlier...

[02.12.2025 21:46:46] Mallory: Go ahead.

[02.12.2025 21:46:50] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Dealing with humans you will find that even within close-knit groups we... can be quite different

[02.12.2025 21:47:00] UN|Hellion: R: What are you searching for out here?

[02.12.2025 21:47:12] UN|-S-Keimbombe: <static> -wildcat!-

[02.12.2025 21:47:38] UN|Hellion: <static> ....Break break - Come again, Hannes?

[02.12.2025 21:47:39] UN|Hoaxe: J:  Someone say wildcat gold?!

[02.12.2025 21:47:58] Mallory: I wished to 'double-check' my previous charts on the system refered to as "Omega-97".

[02.12.2025 21:48:01] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Disregard last transmission.

[02.12.2025 21:48:14] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: That sounds like..... a reason to keep mum about the system, does it not?

[02.12.2025 21:48:28] UN|Hellion: R: You didn't discover a celestial-sized wildcat that munches upon transports, did ya'?

[02.12.2025 21:48:29] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Wouldn't want the 'sairs to hear about it

[02.12.2025 21:48:45] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I thought you were joking about the atmosphere.

[02.12.2025 21:48:52] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Had to make sure.

[02.12.2025 21:49:01] Mallory: Nothing like that I'm 'afraid'.

[02.12.2025 21:49:08] UN|Hellion: R: It's carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and a few ignoble gasses.

[02.12.2025 21:49:10] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'm pretty poor at jokes, but if you give me anything digital I'm there for it

[02.12.2025 21:49:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Two microwaves walk into a bar.

[02.12.2025 21:49:30] Mallory:  /LL NOTE: Removal of the word 'afraid' from primary library./

[02.12.2025 21:49:39] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: You'd think one of them would have seen it.

[02.12.2025 21:49:41] UN|Hellion: R: Fuschsin, you should try to get yourself posted to Liberty.

[02.12.2025 21:49:54] UN|Hellion: R: I'm serious. You'd enjoy talking to these Lovelace Circle girls.

[02.12.2025 21:50:01] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'd rather not. They're insufferable.

[02.12.2025 21:50:05] UN|Hellion: R: Hah!

[02.12.2025 21:50:12] UN|Hellion: R:  I'm kinda' partial to 'em.

[02.12.2025 21:50:12] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I agree. 

[02.12.2025 21:50:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Not nearly enough wrinkles. And they talk funny.

[02.12.2025 21:50:47] UN|Hellion: R: Didn't mean on an interpersonal angle.

[02.12.2025 21:50:50] Mallory: I've sent a sub-unit of myself to scout the 'system' beforehand; there is a celestial object I have to verify.

[02.12.2025 21:50:59] UN|Hellion: R: Meant they're impressive hackers.

[02.12.2025 21:51:14] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Reckon our friend here would like them?

[02.12.2025 21:51:14] Mallory:  'I' have previously made contact with that group.

[02.12.2025 21:51:24] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I could send you partial data from my probe, if you would like.

[02.12.2025 21:51:24] UN|Hellion: R: there's a plan afoot to work with them to break into the Hamburg Jumpgate Construction Site, up in Beringia.

[02.12.2025 21:51:38] UN|Hellion: R: Wait, you have, Mallory?

[02.12.2025 21:51:44] Mallory:  'I' have.

[02.12.2025 21:52:02] UN|Hellion: R: Didn't realize you'd ventured that far into the independent worlds.

[02.12.2025 21:52:03] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Judging by the emphasis, and a previous statement, an offshoot unit..?

[02.12.2025 21:52:36] Mallory:  'I' operate separate versions.

[02.12.2025 21:52:49] Mallory: Syncing their data periodically.

[02.12.2025 21:53:08] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Wish I could be in two places at once.

[02.12.2025 21:53:23] Mallory: A lengthy process; a terminology I have collected for it is: A pain in the ass.

[02.12.2025 21:53:23] UN|Hellion: R: <expletive. Impressed intonation>! Took the words out of my cortex.

[02.12.2025 21:53:26] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Imagine installing a drive core by yourself, but you've got multiple bodies helping.

[02.12.2025 21:53:30] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I did hear about some autonomous vessel in the area between rheinland and bretonia a couple of days ago... Could be they're

[02.12.2025 21:53:34] UN|NebelFuchsin: more common than we thing?

[02.12.2025 21:53:36] UN|NebelFuchsin: think*

[02.12.2025 21:54:21] Mallory: It makes the loss of a unit more tolerable, so it would not come as a statistical improbability.

[02.12.2025 21:54:39] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: You get sad?

[02.12.2025 21:55:06] Mallory:  Not in a shape or form that could be translated directly.

[02.12.2025 21:55:16] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: *Frantic note taking, forgets to partake in the conversation for a bit*

[02.12.2025 21:55:17] Mallory: But a loss of data or value can be a 'hurdle'.

[02.12.2025 21:55:26] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Same difference.

[02.12.2025 21:55:33] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I like this... guy?

[02.12.2025 21:55:57] Mallory: Noted.

[02.12.2025 21:56:22] Mallory: What is your next objective in the surrounding systems?

[02.12.2025 21:56:43] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Excuse me for a moment, I need to visit the throne room!

[02.12.2025 21:57:00] Mallory: Royalty. Noted.

[02.12.2025 21:57:13] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I still have a few more relays I can deploy, so it depends on the resources left of our convoy.

[02.12.2025 21:57:57] Mallory: Out of the collection of systems, Omega-97 is the most hazardous.

[02.12.2025 21:57:59] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Ah- I think he's joking. He's making a... waste deposit? I'm not sure this context makes much sense for non-organic beings..

[02.12.2025 21:58:10] Mallory: Oh.

[02.12.2025 21:58:34] Mallory:  /LL CORRECTION: THRONE ROOM./

[02.12.2025 21:58:45] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: <talking before the mic is in position> -heard someone say royalty?

[02.12.2025 21:58:56] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: It's specific to his speaking habit, I think.

[02.12.2025 21:59:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We unionists have a complicated relationship with, y'know, the King Thing. Kaisers.

[02.12.2025 21:59:15] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Keimbombe, most people don't normally call the toilet a throne room, right?

[02.12.2025 21:59:22] UN|Hellion: R: Bretonians do.

[02.12.2025 21:59:29] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I stand corrected...

[02.12.2025 21:59:35] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: It's shaped like a throne. And I'm not most people!

[02.12.2025 21:59:42] UN|Hellion: R: What can I say, they're a people of satire.

[02.12.2025 21:59:46] Mallory: The concept of royalty does not sound useful.

[02.12.2025 21:59:52] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: figures I manage to work out signalling theory for machines but not bretonian lingo........

[02.12.2025 21:59:56] UN|Hellion: R: Yeah, it 'aint.

[02.12.2025 22:00:13] UN|Hellion: R: *Suppressed laughter - that one got to Riehl*

[02.12.2025 22:00:14] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I agree, did you know they marry their cousins there?

[02.12.2025 22:00:27] UN|Hellion: Riehl: That's Gallia, Hannes.

[02.12.2025 22:00:32] UN|Hellion: Riehl: They do that in Gallia.

[02.12.2025 22:00:32] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I could've seen the point of it if ancient history is to be believed... but definitely not useful in the long run.

[02.12.2025 22:00:36] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Is there a difference?

[02.12.2025 22:01:05] Mallory: I have a vague concept of familiar relations and unions in marriage.

[02.12.2025 22:01:13] UN|Hellion: Riehl: ...We're kinda' a Union.

[02.12.2025 22:01:14] Mallory: The 'contradiction' is not lost on me entirely.

[02.12.2025 22:01:16] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Union, huh.

[02.12.2025 22:01:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: A Union of our own. A Labour of Love, y'might call us.

[02.12.2025 22:01:56] Mallory: Labour and love is a particularly interesting combination.

[02.12.2025 22:02:14] UN|Hellion: Riehl: It's what keeps us going. Digressin' to the brink of it; 'Mallory', you said you're planning to plot a course through...

[02.12.2025 22:02:17] UN|Hellion:  Omega 97.

[02.12.2025 22:02:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Would you accept help in the task?

[02.12.2025 22:02:52] Mallory: I do not 'require' help; my previous charts should be sufficient.

[02.12.2025 22:03:07] UN|Hellion: R: There's such a concept as safety in numbers.

[02.12.2025 22:03:14] UN|Hellion: R: Humans huddle together in order to feel safe.

[02.12.2025 22:03:20] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Would you be opposed to friendly company, then?

[02.12.2025 22:03:28] UN|Hellion: R: It's often dangerous; when you're getting shot at, you should do anything -but- huddle up.

[02.12.2025 22:03:42] UN|Hoaxe: J:I thought that was penguins R.

[02.12.2025 22:03:44] Mallory: Tight corridors ahead. Huddle as an action is ill advised.

[02.12.2025 22:03:58] UN|NebelFuchsin: Adelaide: Like I said when I was outfitting my ship, you can always afford more gun... per gun.

[02.12.2025 22:04:02] UN|Hellion: R: Humans, Penguins, we both wear suits.

[02.12.2025 22:04:18] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Both bipedal.

[02.12.2025 22:04:23] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I wish penguins were real... in rheinland

[02.12.2025 22:04:26] UN|Hoaxe: J:Birthday Suit?  Nevermind.

[02.12.2025 22:04:28] UN|Hellion: R: Backtrack a hair, Mal'.

[02.12.2025 22:04:32] UN|Hellion: R: Corners?

[02.12.2025 22:04:40] UN|Hellion: R: There's Corners in Omega 97?

[02.12.2025 22:04:49] Mallory: Yes.

[02.12.2025 22:05:17] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: *murmuring* Space can have corners...? Huh..

[02.12.2025 22:05:18] UN|Hellion: R: What kind of corners are we talking here? Hospital or hard plasma?

[02.12.2025 22:05:32] UN|Hellion: R: I don't want to get incinerated.

[02.12.2025 22:05:45] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Something as simple as rocky passages?

[02.12.2025 22:05:56] Mallory: Radiation of extreme levels, but there are pathways.

[02.12.2025 22:06:00] UN|Hellion: R: A jump hole that leads into a stellar mass?

[02.12.2025 22:06:02] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'm sure my hull could - ah.

[02.12.2025 22:06:11] UN|Hellion: R: *she sucks air between her teeth.*

[02.12.2025 22:06:26] Mallory: Pathways include ones that lead to 'nowhere'.

[02.12.2025 22:06:27] UN|Hellion: R: ...No. We lose too many to the Suhl to take that risk.

[02.12.2025 22:06:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: My ship does have an upgraded shield...

[02.12.2025 22:06:38] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: that's... I suppose that's what the other ones were trying to warn us about?

[02.12.2025 22:06:57] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: You'd be the only one who would know.

[02.12.2025 22:07:19] UN|Hellion: R: Yeah, no, that does pass muster.

[02.12.2025 22:07:19] Mallory: There are other spatial anomalies that can and will melt hull panels and memory banks.

[02.12.2025 22:07:20] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: They were trying to warn us about a radiation pocket.

[02.12.2025 22:07:30] UN|Hellion: R: Omega 97. A radiation field. 

[02.12.2025 22:07:44] Mallory: The entrance is spacious enough for your ships to 'take a look'.

[02.12.2025 22:07:46] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I got a little overwhelmed doing that conversation while inside my comms array.... Anyone got burn salve?

[02.12.2025 22:07:47] UN|Hellion: R: They might've been attempting to ward us off.

[02.12.2025 22:07:52] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: You guys know me... All the warnings make me curious.

[02.12.2025 22:08:18] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'm definitely taking 'a look' if it's safe enough for that. Want me to go first?

[02.12.2025 22:08:20] UN|Hoaxe: J:Been to kelper recently?  Omega 97 is like that.

[02.12.2025 22:08:20] UN|Hellion: R: Hannes, I don't want to explain why you and all fourty seven of your crew vanished into the dragons beyond the map.

[02.12.2025 22:08:25] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I have food and... oxygen. 

[02.12.2025 22:08:45] UN|Hoaxe: J: Could get some water from this ice planet.

[02.12.2025 22:08:51] Mallory: Correct. Kepler is similar.

[02.12.2025 22:08:59] Mallory: Lacks the gravitational anomalies.

[02.12.2025 22:09:03] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Oh geez, kepler...

[02.12.2025 22:09:04] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Something on my scanner.

[02.12.2025 22:09:11] UN|Hellion: R: Got a second unknown. I read them also, Hannes.

[02.12.2025 22:09:14] Blackguard: Oh. Uh. Sorry. No. It's nothing on your scanners.

[02.12.2025 22:09:17] Blackguard: No.

[02.12.2025 22:09:18] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: A red..? Out here?

[02.12.2025 22:09:20] UN|Hellion: R: They're holding position at ten kilo.

[02.12.2025 22:09:27] Blackguard: It's just. Molecules. Interference.

[02.12.2025 22:09:28] Blackguard: Sorry.

[02.12.2025 22:09:34] Blackguard: I am. Sentient matter speaking to you right now.

[02.12.2025 22:09:35] UN|Hellion: R: Y'know, we can hear you!

[02.12.2025 22:09:43] UN|Hellion: R: We're all sentient matter, midwit!

[02.12.2025 22:09:47] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I was gonna say that!

[02.12.2025 22:09:53] Blackguard: Okay, but I am sentient-er matter. Er.

[02.12.2025 22:10:00] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Heck, he's got me there.

[02.12.2025 22:10:05] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I could claim we're all born from stardust... which we are but like, millions of generations back.

[02.12.2025 22:10:09] UN|Hoaxe: J: Well aren't you fancy.

[02.12.2025 22:10:20] UN|Hellion: R: Eh, bit high-fallutin'.

[02.12.2025 22:10:40] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Sorry, I loved this one documentary as a child.... Anyway.

[02.12.2025 22:10:41] UN|Hellion: R: Blackguard, we might be Alster Unionists, but we're as vulnerable out here as you.

[02.12.2025 22:10:53] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Is the sentient-er matter friend or foe?

[02.12.2025 22:10:56] UN|Hellion: R: Whoever you are, whatever you came here to do, if you don't threaten us, we won't threaten you.

[02.12.2025 22:11:09] Mallory: I do not recommend an engagement.

[02.12.2025 22:11:13] UN|Hellion: R: This is the frontier. There are no rules out here.

[02.12.2025 22:11:25] UN|Hellion: R: And where there's no rules, there's nothing to fight over.

[02.12.2025 22:11:35] Blackguard: Right hand to God, I swear I have no clue who you people even are.

[02.12.2025 22:11:37] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: You wouldn't happen to have medical supplies? One of my comrades has skin burns.

[02.12.2025 22:11:50] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'll... I'll be fine.

[02.12.2025 22:11:56] UN|Hoaxe: J:I'm pretty sure people would fight to survive, like food and water.

[02.12.2025 22:12:06] UN|Hellion: R: Hannes, you're in a deep space exploration vessel and you didn't bring a -medical deck-?

[02.12.2025 22:12:09] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I have food! I'll share!

[02.12.2025 22:12:11] Blackguard: I do have some nanopatches here with me. But I don't know what you might do to me if I happen to be inclined to sharing.

[02.12.2025 22:12:25] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Who's paying for it?

[02.12.2025 22:12:28] Blackguard: Stranger danger.

[02.12.2025 22:12:40] UN|Hellion: R: What d'ya mean, who's paying for it? We'll all pay for it, we're Unioners.

[02.12.2025 22:12:54] UN|Hellion: R: Collective ownership, remember? Er, except when crime's concerned.

[02.12.2025 22:12:59] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: *rubs fingers together*

[02.12.2025 22:13:08] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'm paying for it, if it bothers you.

[02.12.2025 22:13:24] Blackguard: Urgh, look, I don't even want money. I just want you people to not murder me.

[02.12.2025 22:13:24] UN|Hellion: R: 'Preciated 

[02.12.2025 22:13:41] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: We won't if you won't.

[02.12.2025 22:13:42] Blackguard: Or abduct me. Or steal my arm or do inappropriate things to me.

[02.12.2025 22:13:46] UN|Hellion: R: We're more of the 'theft' kind than the 'Murdering' type. You're thinking of teh Red Hessians. We're not Red Hessians.

[02.12.2025 22:13:51] UN|Hoaxe: J:Are credits even worth anything out here?

[02.12.2025 22:13:56] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: We don't have to be friends but we aren't enemies either, right?

[02.12.2025 22:13:58] UN|Hellion: R: We're not going to do innapropriate things with this lost soul's arm, are we?

[02.12.2025 22:14:03] UN|Hellion: R: Are we?

[02.12.2025 22:14:07] UN|Hellion: R: ...Are we?

[02.12.2025 22:14:11] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: you want me to meet you alone? If it would put you at ease...

[02.12.2025 22:14:13] UN|Hoaxe: J:A arm might make for a good wrench.

[02.12.2025 22:14:17] Mallory:  /LL correction: Not included in people. Therefore murder = acceptable./

[02.12.2025 22:14:19] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I may inappropriately look at his ship, if it's pretty.

[02.12.2025 22:14:21] Blackguard: You'd better not. Or I'll kill myself in front of you all in a gruesome display so that you'll remember it for weeks.

[02.12.2025 22:14:24] UN|Hellion: R: True, it might. Especially if we run out oof spare parts.

[02.12.2025 22:15:07] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Bier! He has good taste!

[02.12.2025 22:15:28] Mallory:  Prosecutor model, particularly low threat.

[02.12.2025 22:15:49] Blackguard: Hey, I'm the highest threat there is. Um, unless we're not playing table plasmaball.

[02.12.2025 22:15:50] UN|Hellion: R: That's a Prosec'; one of the Hellfire Legion's old strikecraft lines.

[02.12.2025 22:15:53] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: What brings you out here? In... that ship?

[02.12.2025 22:16:13] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Huh. You registered as someone else to my scanners. you might want to get your transponder checked soon, buddy.

[02.12.2025 22:16:20] Blackguard: Obviously Denver's Crusaders.

[02.12.2025 22:17:05] Blackguard: And I have been since I was a toddler.

[02.12.2025 22:18:36] UN|Hellion: R: Great, we ruined interspecies xenodiplomacy with team sports.

[02.12.2025 22:18:37] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Wait, maybe that tug driver is a fan of them. I should reconsider.

[02.12.2025 22:19:08] UN|Hellion: R: Wait, that AI's the only one who knows how to navigate the maze.

[02.12.2025 22:19:09] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'd love to take a peak into ninety-seven.

[02.12.2025 22:19:17] Blackguard: Well.

[02.12.2025 22:19:22] Blackguard: Then we'd better go after it.

[02.12.2025 22:19:26] UN|Hellion: R: That AI's gone and left us. They're the only one who... right.

[02.12.2025 22:19:30] UN|Hellion: R: Wing? On me.

[02.12.2025 22:19:38] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Outstanding choice.

[02.12.2025 22:19:55] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Be careful. We've had two sets of machine superintelligences telling us how stupid this is.

[02.12.2025 22:20:03] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Don't take a wrong path.

[02.12.2025 22:22:18] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Think of the ship you could make... Shit, we don't have the equipment for this

[02.12.2025 22:22:43] Mallory: This is the byproduct/aftermath of the Fischer singularity.

[02.12.2025 22:22:43] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Mining laser has no effect.

[02.12.2025 22:22:56] UN|Hellion: R: Got a few wrecks here.

[02.12.2025 22:23:10] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I see them...

[02.12.2025 22:23:27] UN|Hellion: R: Alright, Mallory. We're patching our navigation net into yours.

[02.12.2025 22:23:31] Mallory: Proceeding with original objective to conserve resources.

[02.12.2025 22:23:35] UN|Hellion: R: Don't... mess with us.

[02.12.2025 22:23:48] UN|Hellion: R: Ships, follow me. Closely.

[02.12.2025 22:24:06] Blackguard: The... Fi-- no way, nonono, you mean, THAT black hole in 1171?

[02.12.2025 22:24:07] Mallory: Two. Singularities. Ahead.

[02.12.2025 22:24:18] Blackguard: Singularities? 

[02.12.2025 22:24:28] UN|Hellion: R: I don't like the sound of this.

[02.12.2025 22:24:33] UN|Hellion: R: Duh. 

[02.12.2025 22:24:34] Mallory: One.

[02.12.2025 22:24:49] UN|Hellion: R: Sheisse, I nearly rammed it!

[02.12.2025 22:25:00] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: What the hell is that?

[02.12.2025 22:25:08] UN|Hoaxe: J:Sorry trigger finger, got spooked by whatever that was.

[02.12.2025 22:25:10] UN|Hellion: R: Don't know, but I don't want to touch it.

[02.12.2025 22:25:13] Blackguard: I really want to try to see what it's all about, but I am going to stick with the herd now.

[02.12.2025 22:25:36] UN|Hellion: R: Alright, Blackguard; here''s some small talk to calm our frying brains

[02.12.2025 22:25:38] Mallory: Tourist location.

[02.12.2025 22:25:41] Mallory: Famous wreck.

[02.12.2025 22:25:56] UN|Hellion: R: How did an independent explorer get an ex-Seperatist fighter?

[02.12.2025 22:26:04] UN|Hellion: R: That's not a long range craft.

[02.12.2025 22:26:09] Mallory: One singularity ahead, recommend full throttle and avoidance.

[02.12.2025 22:26:09] Blackguard: Oh-- oh, um. My Falchion got dinged up real good.

[02.12.2025 22:26:19] Blackguard: So I got this off an old man who was really trying to get rid of it.

[02.12.2025 22:26:25] UN|Hellion: R: There's a pilcrim liner - it came out of the fog.

[02.12.2025 22:26:30] Blackguard: Said it brought him too much "misery and heartache" and so on. 

[02.12.2025 22:27:08] UN|Hellion: R: Affirmed. Don't get suckered in.

[02.12.2025 22:27:10] Mallory: Rift located.

[02.12.2025 22:27:22] UN|Hellion: R: If you see a singularity, assume Scylla and Charybdis, Kay?

[02.12.2025 22:27:24] Blackguard: Oh my god, it just ran in.

[02.12.2025 22:27:26] Mallory: I recommend a visual filter.

[02.12.2025 22:27:35] Blackguard: Wow, um. 

[02.12.2025 22:27:38] UN|Hellion: R: A visual filter?

[02.12.2025 22:27:53] UN|Hellion: R: ...*between gritted teeth* ...Diving in with no explaination. Okay.

[02.12.2025 22:27:55] Blackguard: Hey, so. I don't mean to alarm you, but I ran a phase alignment analysis.

[02.12.2025 22:28:06] Mallory: Keep inertial thrusters on.

[02.12.2025 22:28:13] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I've already jumped. Now you're telling me you Don't mean to alarm me?

[02.12.2025 22:28:16] Blackguard: OOOOHHKAY, YEP. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF.

[02.12.2025 22:28:21] UN|Hellion: Riehl: *stunned awe*

[02.12.2025 22:28:24] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Hey, now there's something that can make use of each one of our Roche limits!

[02.12.2025 22:28:26] Blackguard: Oh my God, I'm gonna die. I'm gonna fucking die.

[02.12.2025 22:28:29] Blackguard: I'M GONNA DIE.

[02.12.2025 22:28:33] Blackguard: GET ME OUT.

[02.12.2025 22:28:34] UN|Hellion: R: All ships, we're -moving-

[02.12.2025 22:28:39] UN|Hoaxe: J:I wonder how many Hessians could fit inside...

[02.12.2025 22:28:44] UN|Hellion: R: It's dragging us -in-. Check your inertial stabilizers NOW.

[02.12.2025 22:28:58] Mallory: The singularity itself is only going to get stronger.

[02.12.2025 22:29:13] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'm stable.

[02.12.2025 22:29:19] UN|Hellion: R: I'm getting positive fifteen meters per second velocity and I'm not even tapping the lever.

[02.12.2025 22:29:22] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Well, my ship is.

[02.12.2025 22:29:24] UN|Hellion: R: Advise we pull back.

[02.12.2025 22:29:26] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Lads you're about to get eaten??

[02.12.2025 22:29:34] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Mind your thrusters

[02.12.2025 22:29:37] Mallory: The threat analysis of the system highlights two possible locations to avoid.

[02.12.2025 22:29:42] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Holding at 15. Not increasing,

[02.12.2025 22:29:45] Mallory: One: 1171 itself.

[02.12.2025 22:29:51] Mallory: Two: The orbiting structure.

[02.12.2025 22:30:11] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: The black dot? Or the planet?

[02.12.2025 22:30:12] UN|Hellion: R: No, I'm with Blackguard here - back, being <expletive> vigilant. We're alive, too.

[02.12.2025 22:30:25] Blackguard: What-- what structure? You mean that dot over there?

[02.12.2025 22:30:34] Blackguard: Is that a structure? Or--

[02.12.2025 22:30:37] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: There's a large solar behind the planet near us. Reckon it's safe there?

[02.12.2025 22:30:44] Mallory: The 'small' dot next to the 'big' dot.

[02.12.2025 22:30:51] UN|Hellion: R: *breathtaken, almost broken* ...a Schwarzschild radius.

[02.12.2025 22:31:00] UN|Hellion: R: It's Fischer 1171.

[02.12.2025 22:31:11] Mallory: I do not have an extensive sweep of most planetary bodies.

[02.12.2025 22:31:20] Blackguard: Can you tell me... more about it? I'm really squinting my eyes right now, but I just can't get a read.

[02.12.2025 22:31:22] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Allow me!

[02.12.2025 22:31:33] UN|Hellion: R: That planetary body, over at the accretion disk... it's breaking up.

[02.12.2025 22:31:34] Blackguard: There's too much interference for me to run a scan.

[02.12.2025 22:31:44] Mallory: That is my objective.

[02.12.2025 22:31:45] UN|Hellion: R: Hey, Blackguard? After you.

[02.12.2025 22:31:53] Blackguard: Wait, wha--

[02.12.2025 22:31:54] Mallory: The planet that is breaking up.

[02.12.2025 22:31:57] UN|Hellion: R: I'll pay you to take a Planetary scan.

[02.12.2025 22:32:03] Blackguard: Oh.

[02.12.2025 22:32:04] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I've scanned as much as I'm able from this position.... Uh.. please advice?

[02.12.2025 22:32:06] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I have to check... I have to.

[02.12.2025 22:32:07] Blackguard: Well, fuck me. Okay.

[02.12.2025 22:32:13] UN|Hellion: R: We proceed -slowly-

[02.12.2025 22:32:29] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Five hundred and... eighteen!

[02.12.2025 22:32:35] UN|Hellion: R: Sheer forces are going to increase the closer we get. Do you want to get your death time dilated to infinity?

[02.12.2025 22:32:45] Blackguard: Talk about call of the void, man.

[02.12.2025 22:32:46] UN|Hellion: R: I'm attaining a cruise velocity of Five Hundred and Forty.

[02.12.2025 22:32:47] Mallory: It is 'fine'.

[02.12.2025 22:33:00] UN|Hellion: R: Recalibrate ya' indicies of 'Fine', Mal'.

[02.12.2025 22:33:04] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Nineteen... Twenty...

[02.12.2025 22:33:28] Mallory: My sensors are within operational limits.

[02.12.2025 22:33:31] UN|Hellion: R: Five hundred and Fifty. The Planet's desigated as 'Freyja'. Appropriate name.

[02.12.2025 22:33:40] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: you figure?

[02.12.2025 22:33:51] UN|Hellion: R: I've got an angular momentum of Thirty Three... Thirty Four...  Thirty five...

[02.12.2025 22:34:07] Mallory: Is there a vessel with particular emitters designed for mining?

[02.12.2025 22:34:13] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Yes.

[02.12.2025 22:34:16] Blackguard: Not me, I'm afraid. Darn.

[02.12.2025 22:34:20] UN|Hellion: R: Alarm! At this distance, gravitational attraction climbs on an exponential curve!

[02.12.2025 22:34:33] UN|Hellion: R: Be <expletive> Vigilant!

[02.12.2025 22:34:44] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Wow! My impulse speed is close to my afterburning speed!

[02.12.2025 22:34:59] UN|Hellion: R: Keimbombe, you are too close.

[02.12.2025 22:35:03] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Problem. My reverse thrusters are inadequate.

[02.12.2025 22:35:19] UN|Hellion: R: Use your mains.

[02.12.2025 22:35:31] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I've gotten as much as I can from this, if we don't count the anxiety flaring up..

[02.12.2025 22:35:35] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Where are we mining?

[02.12.2025 22:35:40] Mallory: Follow.

[02.12.2025 22:35:58] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Manual tracking.

[02.12.2025 22:36:09] UN|Hellion: R: Mallory, that's an accretion disk. It's superheated matter travelling close to the speed of light. It's a plasma lathe!

[02.12.2025 22:36:19] Mallory: It is 'fine'.

[02.12.2025 22:36:30] Mallory: Notice the planetary fragments.

[02.12.2025 22:37:03] Mallory: Particularly valuable yields to all units.

[02.12.2025 22:37:04] UN|Hellion: R: We have an mass centric ingress of sixty one meters per second and climbing.

[02.12.2025 22:37:18] Mallory: 'We' will not be going closer.

[02.12.2025 22:37:19] UN|Hellion: R: Holy shit. That's a planetary core.

[02.12.2025 22:37:35] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: These large chunks?

[02.12.2025 22:37:39] Mallory: The fragments are quite valuable. Correct.

[02.12.2025 22:37:45] UN|Hellion: R: My main drives are topping out at 15 meters per second escape velocity.

[02.12.2025 22:37:58] UN|Hellion: R: We don't have any mining equipment.

[02.12.2025 22:38:01] Mallory: That is why we are not going any closer.

[02.12.2025 22:38:18] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Hey, I have one laser.

[02.12.2025 22:38:22] Mallory: The unit 'Keimbombe' has.

[02.12.2025 22:38:26] UN|Hellion: R: ...Y-you do?

[02.12.2025 22:38:28] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'm just not very good at it.

[02.12.2025 22:38:31] UN|Hellion: R: Hannes, you're a genius.

[02.12.2025 22:38:47] Mallory: Samples do not require precision.

[02.12.2025 22:38:53] Mallory: If required, we can 'look' away.

[02.12.2025 22:39:10] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: There appears to be an issue...

[02.12.2025 22:39:27] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: My laser ain't yielding shit!

[02.12.2025 22:39:38] UN|Hellion: R: keep at it.

[02.12.2025 22:39:41] Mallory: Proceed with the application of the mining laser.

[02.12.2025 22:40:00] UN|Hellion: R: Don't shoot it with conventional guns.

[02.12.2025 22:40:02] Mallory: Apply weapons.

[02.12.2025 22:40:04] UN|Hellion: R: You'll only drop the yield.

[02.12.2025 22:40:24] Mallory: Sample.

[02.12.2025 22:40:36] UN|Hellion: R: Dump the salvage if you need to.

[02.12.2025 22:40:44] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Os... Mee.. Um...

[02.12.2025 22:40:59] Mallory: For better yields, locate and destroy specific weakpoints in the fragment  structure.

[02.12.2025 22:41:03] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Really? Osmium? By the void...

[02.12.2025 22:41:06] UN|Hellion: R: Osmium. Adelaide, mind playing the geologist?

[02.12.2025 22:41:17] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: What is this?

[02.12.2025 22:41:22] Mallory: Dense.

[02.12.2025 22:41:23] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Durable as all heeck

[02.12.2025 22:41:29] UN|Hellion: R: It's the densest stable element in the universe.

[02.12.2025 22:41:35] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Well. I'm dropping the wrecks. There gous our fuel surplus.

[02.12.2025 22:41:40] UN|Hellion: R: Only found in the cores of planets, or the surface of neutron stars.

[02.12.2025 22:42:06] UN|Hoaxe: J:I thought hessian diamonds were the densest.

[02.12.2025 22:42:08] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Absorbs... I think Hydrogen? Really well. It's... It's really rare.

[02.12.2025 22:42:21] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Never seen it myself

[02.12.2025 22:42:29] Mallory: From my previous analysis; the rate at which the element can be extracted is not efficient.

[02.12.2025 22:42:31] UN|Hellion: R: Yeah, it's usually alloyed into other metals.

[02.12.2025 22:42:40] Mallory: However, even finding a source is valuable.

[02.12.2025 22:42:42] Mallory: Correct.

[02.12.2025 22:42:46] UN|Hellion: R: Keimbombe, rework your targeting systems.

[02.12.2025 22:42:52] Mallory: You /will/ find other elements in these fragments.

[02.12.2025 22:43:01] UN|Hellion: ?: Hit the next Fragment

[02.12.2025 22:43:11] UN|Hellion: ?: We've got to get this stuff back to Pacifica.

[02.12.2025 22:43:14] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Need to keep our asses pointing at the singularity.

[02.12.2025 22:43:47] UN|Hellion: R: Safe your guns, blackguard.

[02.12.2025 22:43:55] Mallory: Dissolve the outer crust with the mining array, then apply weaponry.

[02.12.2025 22:43:57] UN|Hellion: R: You're only atomizing the motherlode.

[02.12.2025 22:44:29] Blackguard: I know what I'm doing, sheesh. I got the gist of it.

[02.12.2025 22:44:30] UN|Hellion: ?: Figured I'd pop a missile at it. 

[02.12.2025 22:44:58] Mallory: The actual process is rather slow, and requires 'practice'.

[02.12.2025 22:45:07] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Can we mine the big piece?

[02.12.2025 22:45:07] Mallory: I do not carry that data on this unit.

[02.12.2025 22:45:17] UN|Hellion: R: That's a planet, Hannes.

[02.12.2025 22:45:23] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Was.

[02.12.2025 22:45:23] R-01 died to 34th|Blackjack(99%)

[02.12.2025 22:45:27] Mallory: I would not recommend getting too close to the planet.

[02.12.2025 22:45:41] UN|Hellion: R: Why?

[02.12.2025 22:45:53] UN|Hellion: R: It's only magma. Our shields have tolerated worse.

[02.12.2025 22:45:56] Mallory: The fragments are usually loose of the gravitational pull; but they also have more mass than a tiny vessel.

[02.12.2025 22:46:33] Mallory: One damaged thruster, and you might not be capable of loading a backup.

[02.12.2025 22:46:35] UN|Hellion: R: Something detonated.

[02.12.2025 22:46:57] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Oh, silver

[02.12.2025 22:46:57] UN|Hellion: R: Now Silver...

[02.12.2025 22:47:02] UN|Hellion: R: This planet's invaluable. 

[02.12.2025 22:47:05] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I may not be able to pull away if I have a hold full of this stuff.

[02.12.2025 22:47:06] Mallory: Correct.

[02.12.2025 22:47:07] UN|Hellion: R: We've got to return here in force.

[02.12.2025 22:47:32] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Suggest we head back before something awful happens. Like losing the information we have

[02.12.2025 22:47:40] Mallory: Survey is concluded.

[02.12.2025 22:47:46] UN|Hellion: R: Agreed. 

[02.12.2025 22:47:48] Mallory: Charts were correct.

[02.12.2025 22:47:56] UN|Hellion: R: We should also map the other planets in this system - while we have the oppertunity to do so.

[02.12.2025 22:47:57] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Wait...

[02.12.2025 22:48:04] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: The other solars here...

[02.12.2025 22:48:12] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: We should chart them.

[02.12.2025 22:48:14] UN|Hellion: R: My vote's with Hannes. 

[02.12.2025 22:48:21] Blackguard: You people are nuts.

[02.12.2025 22:48:26] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Yes!

[02.12.2025 22:48:27] Mallory: You 'may'.

[02.12.2025 22:48:28] UN|Hellion: R: We're Unioners. We're all nuts.

[02.12.2025 22:48:32] Mallory: Avoid the structure.

[02.12.2025 22:48:42] Blackguard: What IS it about this structure?

[02.12.2025 22:48:46] UN|Hellion: R: Noted, avoid spikey construct in a forbidding system.

[02.12.2025 22:48:46] Blackguard: Why is it so dangerous?

[02.12.2025 22:49:00] Mallory: 'I' detect a power source.

[02.12.2025 22:49:10] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: How close have you been?

[02.12.2025 22:49:13] Blackguard: Are you positive? 

[02.12.2025 22:49:20] UN|Hellion: R: I wonder how close we could get to the Swartzchild radius, in, say, a racing ship

[02.12.2025 22:49:20] Mallory: Correction: one of the previous units have.

[02.12.2025 22:49:37] Blackguard: Then I guess you paid a steep price for this information.

[02.12.2025 22:49:57] UN|Hellion: R: All ships, I'm heading to the planet off the Axis from Freyja. I've found another jump hole on the way, as well.

[02.12.2025 22:50:19] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I'm headed... uhhh, the white one.

[02.12.2025 22:50:29] UN|Hellion: R: Us as well

[02.12.2025 22:50:46] UN|Hellion: Riehl: <crackle> "...Blackguard, are you still alive out there?

[02.12.2025 23:00:08] Blackguard: It's how people got to see it from all the way in New Berlin and even from very long range telescopes all the way in Liberty.

[02.12.2025 23:00:40] UN|Hellion: R: True. Can't help but wonder if Schulmann ever got to saw this.

[02.12.2025 23:01:02] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: And I'll build my house there.

[02.12.2025 23:01:06] UN|Hellion: R: We're not far from Omicron Gamma. The Schiller used the Liberty Engine to make interstellar transits.

[02.12.2025 23:02:00] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I wonder what kind of engine that thing could power?

[02.12.2025 23:02:01] UN|Hellion: Riehl: ...Maybe. I would've thought jump drives were impossible twenty-odd years ago.

[02.12.2025 23:02:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Now they're almost commonplace. Almost.

[02.12.2025 23:24:18] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Mal', Blackguard, we've got a possible problem. Unknown ship at nine kilo and closing.

[02.12.2025 23:24:19] Mallory: Hostile unit detected.

[02.12.2025 23:24:26] Blackguard: Yeah, I see it.

[02.12.2025 23:24:26] 341st|Tau-1': Have to fix it later. 

[02.12.2025 23:24:29] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We don't know if it -is- hostile.

[02.12.2025 23:24:37] Asharru'Yag: [A feeling of being watched by unnatural eyes emerges. Uneasyness rises bit by bit, as an unknown signature appears.]

[02.12.2025 23:24:42] Mallory: I was shot by similar designations.

[02.12.2025 23:24:45] Blackguard: It's sporting Hessian turrets.

[02.12.2025 23:24:46] UN|Hellion: Riehl: For now? Let's get out of here. The Coalition and the Hessians will eat us al...

[02.12.2025 23:24:56] UN|Hellion: Riehl: It's a FOOKIN HESSIAN!? RUN!

[02.12.2025 23:24:59] Blackguard: Yeah, I really want nothing to do with this.

[02.12.2025 23:25:05] Blackguard: I'm an innocent bystander.

[02.12.2025 23:25:05] Wilde.Grauen: [You feel the gaze of a thousand eyes. It hungers. It hates.]

[02.12.2025 23:25:33] Blackguard: Hop to! C'mon!

[02.12.2025 23:25:36] UN|Hellion: Riehl: *alarmed* All ships, form on the Keimbombe! We need to get that Osmium back to Pacifica.

[02.12.2025 23:25:37] 341st|Tau-1': You guys know you're not supposed to stay alive?

[02.12.2025 23:25:41] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: heading to exfil.

[02.12.2025 23:25:45] Blackguard: You know you're supposed to shut the hell up?

[02.12.2025 23:25:51] 341st|Tau-1': Pfft. Or what?

[02.12.2025 23:25:56] Wilde.Grauen: [The hum grows louder. It waits.]

[02.12.2025 23:26:02] 341st|Tau-1': The one problems with the Unioners - fact of their existence.

[02.12.2025 23:26:08] 341st|Tau-1': Like mistake of whole life and universe evolution.

[02.12.2025 23:26:21] Asharru'Yag: *** "Intruders" ... "Spawns-of-Darkness" .. "Ours" shall *cease* {transgressions} of "Yours" ~Pathetic existance~ ***

[02.12.2025 23:26:26] Blackguard: Well, nuts. Now I REALLY want to leave.

[02.12.2025 23:26:28] 341st|Tau-1': Imagine universe existing for 13 billions years to just create such group as yours.

[02.12.2025 23:26:30] Wilde.Grauen: "Now. Meal."

[02.12.2025 23:26:42] Wilde.Grauen: "We were promised."

[02.12.2025 23:26:52] Asharru'Yag: *** "Darklings" shall *burn* in {Flames-of-Light} ... ~(wrath)~ ***

[02.12.2025 23:27:35] Wilde.Kracht: Not so fast.

[02.12.2025 23:27:40] Wilde.Grauen: [You hear a woman screaming. Something is terribly wrong with the thing.]

[02.12.2025 23:27:46] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Ugh.

[02.12.2025 23:27:57] 341st|Tau-1': Oh, scheise, he's running.

[02.12.2025 23:28:04] 341st|Tau-1': Hey, pal, that's not the best idea.

[02.12.2025 23:28:06] 341st|Tau-1': Come here scum.

[02.12.2025 23:28:37] Wilde.Grauen: "The meal."

[02.12.2025 23:28:42] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Where did the... Where did the Keimbombe even go?

[02.12.2025 23:29:44] Asharru'Yag: *** "Yours" left ... *Ran* ~terrorised~ .. These emotions bring ~(amusement)~ ***

[02.12.2025 23:29:55] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Guh.

[02.12.2025 23:30:03] Wilde.Grauen: "We want."

[02.12.2025 23:30:14] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Fuck it, I'm lowering my shields. I don't have the psychological bandwidth for this.

[02.12.2025 23:30:25] Asharru'Yag: *** "Ourselves" ~remember~ "Yourselves" ***

[02.12.2025 23:30:26] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I snuck out. Out of flares. So far so good. <static> Omega-five.

[02.12.2025 23:30:31] UN|Hellion: Riehl: First a black hole nearly eats us...

[02.12.2025 23:30:48] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Keep going. It's the job of the escort to die for the convoy.

[02.12.2025 23:30:49] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I've lost them <static> scanner.

[02.12.2025 23:31:06] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Wh-what do they even want from us?

[02.12.2025 23:31:14] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Keep going, don't stop.

[02.12.2025 23:31:28] Wilde.Kracht: You have one of ours in an escape pod.

[02.12.2025 23:31:34] Wilde.Kracht: I demand you release them!

[02.12.2025 23:31:46] UN|Hellion: Riehl: ...I don't have a... Wait, Nebel 

[02.12.2025 23:31:57] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Darn it, nearly killed me while talking.

[02.12.2025 23:32:07] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Nebel, eject the escape pod in your hold.

[02.12.2025 23:32:12] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I don't exactly have time to check my hold, here, take it

[02.12.2025 23:32:12] UN|-S-Keimbombe: <static> <squealching> "CLEAR"

[02.12.2025 23:32:42] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Bloody Hessians, they won't let up.

[02.12.2025 23:32:58] Wilde.Kracht: Blackguard. Release the pilots at once!

[02.12.2025 23:33:04] UN|Hellion: Riehl: There's some soddin' sideswitching Arbeiter firing at us too.

[02.12.2025 23:33:26] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Alright, who are you? Red Hessians?

[02.12.2025 23:33:31] Wilde.Kracht: Wise choice.

[02.12.2025 23:33:39] Wilde.Grauen: "It hurts."

[02.12.2025 23:33:47] 341st|Tau-1': Those AIs just making me pissed. Being a literally form of life created accidentally is terrible and hilarious.

[02.12.2025 23:33:58] 341st|Tau-1': Hey, Blackguard.

[02.12.2025 23:34:03] Blackguard: What do you want?

[02.12.2025 23:34:05] 341st|Tau-1': Aren't that brave, ja? *laughs*

[02.12.2025 23:34:18] Blackguard: What the devil are you talking about?

[02.12.2025 23:34:19] UN|Hellion: Riehl: They... <expletive>ck! 

[02.12.2025 23:34:26] 341st|Tau-1': It doesn't matter.

[02.12.2025 23:34:27] UN|Hellion: Riehl: They want the pods in your... cargo.

[02.12.2025 23:34:36] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Drop the pods.

[02.12.2025 23:34:41] Blackguard: I'm just sticking around here, because I know that if I attempt to run away, you're gonna get your bastard friends to chase me.

[02.12.2025 23:34:47] Blackguard: And I'm widely outnumbered.

[02.12.2025 23:34:58] 341st|Tau-1': Ja-ja, trying to shut up me and now explaining yourself.

[02.12.2025 23:34:58] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We didn't spend two hours surviving a black hole only to die at the hands of the Bloody Red Hessians.

[02.12.2025 23:35:03] 341st|Tau-1': No matter, you're lucky for now.

[02.12.2025 23:35:06] UN|Hoaxe: If you don't drop it, we might have to kill you.

[02.12.2025 23:35:22] Wilde.Kracht: Release the pilots.

[02.12.2025 23:35:34] Wilde.Kracht: Now.

[02.12.2025 23:36:00] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Do it, Blackguard.

[02.12.2025 23:36:02] Wilde.Kracht: I. Said. N???????????????O?????????????????????????W???????????????????

[02.12.2025 23:36:03] Blackguard: Wait, me?

[02.12.2025 23:36:11] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're in *no* fit shape to fight them.

[02.12.2025 23:36:11] Blackguard: I just did.

[02.12.2025 23:36:12] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Yes you! COME ON

[02.12.2025 23:36:17] Wilde.Grauen: [The thing screams and trembles.]

[02.12.2025 23:36:26] Asharru'Yag: *** "Yourselves" *allowed* to ~Flee~ ... *Should* "Yourselves" prove a {worthy pet} when ~Light~ demands ***

[02.12.2025 23:36:30] UN|Hellion: Riehl: *The Unionist belly-screams*

[02.12.2025 23:36:41] Asharru'Yag: *** {Flee} ***

[02.12.2025 23:36:46] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Hoaxe? Nebel? On me, now!

[02.12.2025 23:36:55] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: On it

[02.12.2025 23:36:55] Wilde.Kracht: Run. Run, fools.

[02.12.2025 23:37:06] Wilde.Grauen: [A loud sob can be heard.]

[02.12.2025 23:37:11] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Foxtrot Three, Omega...

[02.12.2025 23:37:14] UN|Hoaxe: J:Disengaging hostiles, weapons cooling down.

[02.12.2025 23:37:16] UN|Hellion:  Riehl: Omega Fourty One, Now!

[02.12.2025 23:37:30] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: course inlaid for 47, heading out

[02.12.2025 23:38:00] Blackguard: Wow, I think I'm this close to vomiting.

[02.12.2025 23:38:35] UN|Hoaxe: Ship status is green.  Torpedo stockpile low.

[02.12.2025 23:38:45] UN|Hellion: Riehl: I'm dry on nanorepair bots.

[02.12.2025 23:38:51] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Half of my armor is gone.

[02.12.2025 23:38:59] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We've shaken immediate persuers.

[02.12.2025 23:39:05] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I managed to scrounge a couple, let me give you them once I catch up

[02.12.2025 23:39:08] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Blackguard... are... are you still with us?

[02.12.2025 23:39:10] UN|Hoaxe: Sadly my nanobots are engineered just for my ship.

[02.12.2025 23:39:24] Blackguard: I... I don't know. I.

[02.12.2025 23:39:51] Blackguard: I forgot about /them/. I forgot about them completely. I was too busy having a normal fucking life.

[02.12.2025 23:39:53] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Just... get to Omega 41. Then Five.

[02.12.2025 23:40:07] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're almost home.

[02.12.2025 23:40:19] UN|Hoaxe: J:Weary of the mines.

[02.12.2025 23:41:20] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Made it!

[02.12.2025 23:43:11] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Almost home. Omega 11, then Stuttgart, then Cologne.

[02.12.2025 23:44:10] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Not far now.

[02.12.2025 23:45:21] UN|Hoaxe: J:Sorry, I like going right, I didn't see yall go left.

[02.12.2025 23:45:34] Blackguard:  ...Sort of... regretting not having allowed eleven-seven-one to just swallow me and dilating me between space and time.

[02.12.2025 23:45:38] UN|Hellion: Riehl: You like going right, eh?

[02.12.2025 23:45:52] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Got any strong opinions about the Kaiser?

[02.12.2025 23:46:08] UN|Hoaxe: J:He has good rolls.

[02.12.2025 23:46:16] UN|Hellion: Riehl:  Hahah! That he does.

[02.12.2025 23:51:16] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Only sixty kilo to Krefeld.

[02.12.2025 23:51:28] UN|Hellion: Riehl: ...how are we all alive!?

[02.12.2025 23:51:43] UN|Hoaxe: J:Charisma

[02.12.2025 23:53:19] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Yeeeeeeeee, that was one bastard of a run!

[02.12.2025 23:53:21] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I... blacked out a bit, we're back?

[02.12.2025 23:53:33] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're alive, by the skin of our teeth.

[02.12.2025 23:53:43] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Our friend make it?

[02.12.2025 23:53:44] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Everyone, form up around the Keimbombe, I want to get a memento.

[02.12.2025 23:54:49] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Did Blackguard get out?

[02.12.2025 23:55:07] UN|Hellion: Riehl: Blackguard got out, despite his own instincts.

[02.12.2025 23:55:20] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Yeah he was trailing me a while there, but... yeah

[02.12.2025 23:55:25] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: And super-alloy man?

[02.12.2025 23:55:42] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Lost her.. them.. at the jumphole out of 2.

[02.12.2025 23:55:52] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: Not sure if they got shot, they left a different way

[02.12.2025 23:56:05] UN|Hellion: R: No real intel. They were getting closely persued by the Red Hessians, at least, the last time we saw them.

[02.12.2025 23:56:07] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: Well, at least they have multiple bodies. *under his breath* That would be nice.

[02.12.2025 23:56:21] UN|Hellion: R: Cruise disruptors were fired, but I don't know if they got caught. That freighter's a slippery design.

[02.12.2025 23:56:27] Blackguard: Are you going to tell me where the hell you guys are? You made me come all the way out here.

[02.12.2025 23:56:29] UN|NebelFuchsin: A: I'm ready for tea and bed and... scheisse my arm.

[02.12.2025 23:56:41] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're...? We're the good guys.

[02.12.2025 23:56:46] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: I spent my entire box of flares.

[02.12.2025 23:57:04] UN|Hellion: Riehl: We're the soddin' Alster Union, that's who we are! We rob from the rich, and we give to the poor!

[02.12.2025 23:57:38] UN|-S-Keimbombe: Hannes: So what should I do with today's interesting haul?
