Recipient: Bessie "Bison" Bishop Sender: BlueHat Subject: NEW DEAL
Boy do I have a deal for you,
A lil while back I was running past Barrier Gate and found myself talking to a ‘lancer, a Eye-Em-Gee, and a Technocrat. Yeah, bad joke I know, but the ‘lancer seemed to have A LOT to say about ya and yknow I just had to look you up for myself. Man, that’s a record and a half! I’m almost surprised you ran off to be a Hunter, but the ‘lancer seemed to think you were decent enough and some of these NeuralNet images seem to agree. But honestly that’s all besides the point.
Heard you scared off two Rogues by sheer presence alone! That’s a mood and a half, since they only SOMETIMES have enough braincells to rub together to keep warm, so whatever it is must be real friggin neat-o yknow? Something real special.
Now, as to my dealio, you gotta just stick around these Crayterians a bit more yknow? They don’t seem to have it all together, especially since Jericho went full DiscoBall and now we have funnyrays in the system, and honestly all this dumb piracy really pisses me off. It screws with all the signals I tend to pick up out of Yuma - the amount of people who will send their bank account info left and right is OBSCENE - because of all the idiot pilots moanin and groanin about this pirate or that pirate stoppin em and asking for credits. Absolute chumps, yknow?
So you should just start stickin around the system a bit more? And hey, maybe we’ll run into each other and I can give ya some tips on how to NOT get your identity stolen? Sounds good?
Oh, and I attached the comms message. I SWEAR THE FILE DOESN’T HAVE TAPEWORMS, it just DOES things. If you get pop ups from it, it wasn’t me. Clippy is just a feature, not a bug.
[25.08.2025 22:28:47] A/)-Revenant: Mm... Thankfully, work can be redone.
[25.08.2025 22:28:48] IMG|Vihren: Hail Hacker ship.
[25.08.2025 22:28:50] A/)-Revenant: Lives however - cannot.
[25.08.2025 22:28:56] Lazurith: Howdy.
[25.08.2025 22:28:56] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: Curacao is pretty close.. And we *have* had contact with Orbital, before.
[25.08.2025 22:29:13] BlueHat: Hiya, Eye-Em-Gee
[25.08.2025 22:29:53] BlueHat: Yknow seems like every time I come over here to Barrier Gate something is exploded AGAIN
[25.08.2025 22:30:02] BlueHat: And I can't quite put my finger on what the heck is the problem
[25.08.2025 22:30:09] A/)-Revenant: I'll be back shortly, but I'll arrange some engineering experts to help you out.
[25.08.2025 22:30:11] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: [Calley looks to Sven.] Think we should finish up fer her.
[25.08.2025 22:30:14] A/)-Revenant: And maybe help you look over your logistics issue
[25.08.2025 22:30:20] Lazurith: Mhm.
[25.08.2025 22:30:21] A/)-Revenant: It might help to have some more safety gear on.
[25.08.2025 22:30:21] IMG|Vihren: Color me surprised that is a Hacker mining ship.
[25.08.2025 22:30:23] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: [Ozei to Rev] We appreciate that, *very* much!
[25.08.2025 22:30:24] Lazurith: Yep.
[25.08.2025 22:30:26] Lazurith: Aha.
[25.08.2025 22:30:28] A/)-Revenant: Be right back.
[25.08.2025 22:30:37] BlueHat: Well lookee, Eye-Em-Gee, sometimes you gotta mine stuff online too yknow
[25.08.2025 22:31:20] BlueHat: Besides, three months of provisions? Pffffffft. One week, tops! The server racks take up the rest of it
[25.08.2025 22:31:31] IMG|Vihren: That is also valid ore.
[25.08.2025 22:31:32] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: [Sven to Calley] Da. We clean rest.
[25.08.2025 22:31:39] BlueHat: And like, that week? It doesn't feel like a week, yknow
[25.08.2025 22:32:18] BlueHat: Heard some stupid nonsense happened in here earlier tho
[25.08.2025 22:32:22] BlueHat: What's up?
[25.08.2025 22:32:25] Lazurith: Uh.
[25.08.2025 22:32:30] Lazurith: I don't think anything freaky happened.
[25.08.2025 22:32:32] Lazurith: I mean.
[25.08.2025 22:32:42] Lazurith: Besides the giant disco ball of death outside.
[25.08.2025 22:32:43] BlueHat: Some suit shmuckeroos rollin about
[25.08.2025 22:32:46] IMG|Vihren: There was a fight here.
[25.08.2025 22:32:52] BlueHat: Well OK sure, Jericho's a discoball, yeah
[25.08.2025 22:32:53] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: [There is some further noise in the background coming from aboard the Gaelic Wyvern. Sounds like a few folks bagging things]
[25.08.2025 22:32:57] IMG|Vihren: Order and LSF I think.
[25.08.2025 22:33:06] BlueHat: Order and LSF? What, shooting each other?
[25.08.2025 22:33:14] BlueHat: What clowns
[25.08.2025 22:33:16] Lazurith: Oh, right, that happened.
[25.08.2025 22:33:25] Lazurith: Some Prometheans got caught up in the fight, too.
[25.08.2025 22:33:32] IMG|Vihren: Yea over the glowing moon.
[25.08.2025 22:33:39] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: [He sighs]
[25.08.2025 22:33:52] BlueHat: And what, Crayter just let it all happen on their doorstep?
[25.08.2025 22:33:59] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: I *hate* to think that with so *many* folks that came to check on us, it caused *some* of the responders to shoot each other.
[25.08.2025 22:34:00] BlueHat: Man, Coronado's really gone wack
[25.08.2025 22:34:04] IMG|Vihren: Yea they have no spine.
[25.08.2025 22:34:17] Lazurith: It's... bound to happen, I'm afraid.
[25.08.2025 22:34:35] BlueHat: Now now, Kusari-buddy, it's not like the LSF to have a braincell between them
[25.08.2025 22:34:43] BlueHat: They can't HELP it to go and screw things up
[25.08.2025 22:34:46] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: I was surprised that a pair of *rogues* showed up that *did NOT* end up shooting at Bessie.
[25.08.2025 22:34:54] BlueHat: Besides, what, you think they'd give ya a tow? Pffffffffft
[25.08.2025 22:35:02] Lazurith: Bessie's sheer presence and fierce mien is enough to scare people away.
[25.08.2025 22:35:04] BlueHat: Give you a brain-probin, more likely
[25.08.2025 22:35:21] BlueHat: Bessie sounds wack. She on the NeuralNet?
[25.08.2025 22:35:36] Lazurith: Hey, you among us should know best.
[25.08.2025 22:35:46] IMG|Vihren: Bessie is a know hunter maybe she was not worth the trouble?
[25.08.2025 22:35:51] BlueHat: Well, look, it's not like I LOOK for that kinda stuff on the NeuralNet yknow
[25.08.2025 22:35:53] Lazurith: Since, uh. You're probably out there on the Net a lot longer than the rest of us.
[25.08.2025 22:35:57] Lazurith: Ahh.
[25.08.2025 22:36:01] BlueHat: Those kinda sites give you viruses up the wazoo
[25.08.2025 22:36:12] BlueHat: And sure, what's life without a few viruses
[25.08.2025 22:36:17] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: [Staff]jammi
[25.08.2025 22:36:18] BlueHat: But man, I like my server racks healthy
[25.08.2025 22:36:20] IMG|Vihren: Big Bessie Bison try looking that one up.
[25.08.2025 22:36:28] BlueHat: That sounds like a performer name
[25.08.2025 22:36:32] BlueHat: Gnarly
[25.08.2025 22:36:37] Lazurith: Hey, she's nice.
[25.08.2025 22:36:46] BlueHat: I know a lotta performers who are nice to be fair
[25.08.2025 22:36:47] Lazurith: Funny. Dorky. Sometimes serious. Brusque.
[25.08.2025 22:36:54] BlueHat: It's not like being a performer means you gotta be mean
[25.08.2025 22:37:09] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: [Staff]jammi
[25.08.2025 22:38:20] BlueHat: So, Eye-Em-Gee, what's goin on with you folks?
[25.08.2025 22:38:27] IMG|Vihren: We are thinking about a different kinds of performer.
[25.08.2025 22:38:36] BlueHat: Well, yeah
[25.08.2025 22:38:39] Lazurith: Oh, like a singer?
[25.08.2025 22:38:41] IMG|Vihren: What are we doing now?
[25.08.2025 22:38:58] BlueHat: Heard yall are having fun shooting those BMF kiddies
[25.08.2025 22:39:15] BlueHat: And in the Queen's own graveyard, too! Big kahunas, minerbro
[25.08.2025 22:39:36] IMG|Vihren: Well waiting on what the rest of the Guild plans to fix Pecos. Oh those brainless fools.
[25.08.2025 22:39:41] Lazurith: Hey, uhm. Say.
[25.08.2025 22:39:50] BlueHat: Say?
[25.08.2025 22:39:51] Lazurith: What's... the situation in Bretonia like nowadays?
[25.08.2025 22:39:51] IMG|Vihren: Yea not much of them these days.
[25.08.2025 22:39:55] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: [A voice came from the back] Dunno what y'all are doin. But we be trying to get stuff cleaned up over here.
[25.08.2025 22:40:05] Lazurith: Ah! Hope everything's okay in there!
[25.08.2025 22:40:05] BlueHat: Dublin's a funny firecracker and Leeds is still broke
[25.08.2025 22:40:13] IMG|Vihren: I think we scared them off into Dublin.
[25.08.2025 22:40:23] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: [Staff]jammi
[25.08.2025 22:40:27] Lazurith: Yeah, I figured that Leeds is still a mass grave. It's not possible to be able to recover from that.
[25.08.2025 22:40:28] BlueHat: But Eye-Em-Gee over here is having fun shooting the BMF crown-sucks in Leeds itself!
[25.08.2025 22:40:32] BlueHat: Which is honestly a mood
[25.08.2025 22:40:33] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: Sandra: We'll be okay.
[25.08.2025 22:40:40] BlueHat: I can't stand those guys. NO sense of humor
[25.08.2025 22:40:46] IMG|Vihren: The hell how do you know about that one?
[25.08.2025 22:40:52] Lazurith: But, like, the government is doing fine. Their space navy's doing fine. So... what's going on?
[25.08.2025 22:40:59] BlueHat: OK, Eye-Em-Gee, Imma give you one guess and one guess only
[25.08.2025 22:41:03] BlueHat: Starts with a H
[25.08.2025 22:41:05] BlueHat: Ends with a R
[25.08.2025 22:41:15] Lazurith: Oh! Oh, I know. "Her"!
[25.08.2025 22:41:26] BlueHat: Aw thanks
[25.08.2025 22:41:30] IMG|Vihren: Did those fools brodcast an HR report?
[25.08.2025 22:41:34] BlueHat: "Hacker" is a term
[25.08.2025 22:41:41] BlueHat: A "Security" is a funny joke
[25.08.2025 22:41:41] IMG|Vihren: On a open line?
[25.08.2025 22:41:54] BlueHat: Well, they did make a REAL big fuss to the Bretonian gov
[25.08.2025 22:42:10] BlueHat: And yknow, some of those Bret Gov fools like to link their government accounts to their normal accounts
[25.08.2025 22:42:21] BlueHat: And bing-boop-bap, it's called "Man that Email stinks"
[25.08.2025 22:42:28] IMG|Vihren: Hacking BMF ain't that hard as they leak the info themselves.
[25.08.2025 22:42:41] BlueHat: They are not big-brained, this is very true
[25.08.2025 22:43:12] BlueHat: Honestly though I just wish they'd be a lil more interesting sometimes
[25.08.2025 22:43:13] IMG|Vihren: Must be all of that smog they took in.
[25.08.2025 22:43:17] BlueHat: Must be
[25.08.2025 22:43:21] Lazurith: Smog? I thought it was Smarg.
[25.08.2025 22:43:24] Lazurith: Or Smlorg.
[25.08.2025 22:43:35] Lazurith: Sborg?
[25.08.2025 22:43:42] IMG|Vihren: The drug is called Slog but that is another thing.
[25.08.2025 22:43:57] BlueHat: Well that's just a harmless little hobby is all that is
[25.08.2025 22:44:00] Lazurith: Ah, you meant the industrial fumes.
[25.08.2025 22:44:06] Lazurith: Not the ones you inhale recreationally.
[25.08.2025 22:44:22] IMG|Vihren: You are right ten points to Laz
[25.08.2025 22:44:33] Lazurith: I can't stop winning!
[25.08.2025 22:44:36] BlueHat: Ding-Ding-Ding or something or another
[25.08.2025 22:45:23] IMG|Vihren: But the best thing I read is what Interspace told DSE.
[25.08.2025 22:45:33] BlueHat: What, the Act of God bit?
[25.08.2025 22:45:45] IMG|Vihren: Yea the Act of God.
[25.08.2025 22:45:50] Lazurith: That's so funny, actually.
[25.08.2025 22:45:58] IMG|Vihren: Best shit I heard in a while.
[25.08.2025 22:46:27] BlueHat: DSE can't catch a break yknow
[25.08.2025 22:46:44] Lazurith: I wonder what it's like to be a blue collar worker for DSE nowadays.
[25.08.2025 22:47:05] BlueHat: "My boss hates me, my underlings hate me, Kusari hates me, my dog hates me"
[25.08.2025 22:47:13] BlueHat: And they stole the dog!
[25.08.2025 22:47:20] Lazurith: Don't forget a "my wife hates me" in there for good measure.
[25.08.2025 22:47:21] IMG|Vihren: After the Xenos took out that gate repair ship. God acts!
[25.08.2025 22:47:26] BlueHat: Well the wife left em yknow
[25.08.2025 22:47:56] Lazurith: Wait, so, for context: did they tie the loss of the Robert Preary to an Act of God?
[25.08.2025 22:48:06] IMG|Vihren: For a Interspace broker. Tends to go that way
[25.08.2025 22:48:09] BlueHat: Man, I'm not quite sure yet to be honest
[25.08.2025 22:48:20] IMG|Vihren: I would call it an act of Xeno.
[25.08.2025 22:48:22] BlueHat: All those crew life insurance policies will get paid out by DSE
[25.08.2025 22:48:56] Lazurith: I'm starting to regret suggesting my buddy Jesse to go on and work for DSE when we were in college.
[25.08.2025 22:49:04] IMG|Vihren: For the Preary yea but we might see them use the God clause too,
[25.08.2025 22:49:08] BlueHat: Was your buddy Jesse smart?
[25.08.2025 22:49:14] BlueHat: If so, prob got out by now
[25.08.2025 22:49:19] BlueHat: If not, yikes
[25.08.2025 22:49:29] IMG|Vihren: I hope he didn't start mining here.
[25.08.2025 22:49:33] Lazurith: No, he already had some charges, which is why I told him to work for something that's more blue collar oriented.
[25.08.2025 22:49:46] BlueHat: Sheeeesh
[25.08.2025 22:49:54] Lazurith: I do NOT think that guy's alive today.
[25.08.2025 22:50:22] BlueHat: Pour one out for Jesse or somethin
[25.08.2025 22:50:32] IMG|Vihren: Well some of their mining ships did get lost before the EMP you know? Hope Jesse wasn't on one of those.
[25.08.2025 22:51:23] Lazurith: Eh.
[25.08.2025 22:51:33] Lazurith: He might just be a worker on Pittsburgh or something.
[25.08.2025 22:51:55] Lazurith: Which, uh, I guess is about as bad as being murdered in a terrorist attack.
[25.08.2025 22:51:59] IMG|Vihren: Should have went independent if you ask me.
[25.08.2025 22:52:03] Lazurith: Mmyep.
[25.08.2025 22:52:08] Lazurith: S'what I did with Ageira.
[25.08.2025 22:52:09] BlueHat: Man there's a lotta good funny routes
[25.08.2025 22:52:23] BlueHat: What's this "Straight and Narrow" I always hear about
[25.08.2025 22:52:30] BlueHat: I prefer the Curvy and Wide myself
[25.08.2025 22:52:38] BlueHat: Maybe that's why Bessie sounds interesting
[25.08.2025 22:52:39] BlueHat: Not sure
[25.08.2025 22:52:42] Lazurith: Hands off.
[25.08.2025 22:52:51] Lazurith: I've found her first!
[25.08.2025 22:52:53] IMG|Vihren: Yea she is datning him.
[25.08.2025 22:52:57] BlueHat: I can admire from afar, don't you worry
[25.08.2025 22:53:01] Lazurith: Thanks.
[25.08.2025 22:53:02] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: Wait, *are* you, Laz'!?
[25.08.2025 22:53:04] Lazurith: Your support means a LOT.
[25.08.2025 22:53:06] IMG|Vihren: Respect.
[25.08.2025 22:53:15] Lazurith: No. But--
[25.08.2025 22:53:23] Lazurith: I'm getting mixed signals!
[25.08.2025 22:53:31] BlueHat: About Bessie?
[25.08.2025 22:53:35] BlueHat: Man, that's rough
[25.08.2025 22:53:41] A/)-Revenant: Are you sure she isn't going to use you as a toothpick
[25.08.2025 22:53:44] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: Tha's a woman fer ye
[25.08.2025 22:53:51] BlueHat: Should get a relationship counselor for that
[25.08.2025 22:53:55] BlueHat: I'm available
[25.08.2025 22:53:56] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: Kayla.. You are back. You uh.. Doing okay?
[25.08.2025 22:54:03] BlueHat: PFFFFFFFT hahahahahaha
[25.08.2025 22:54:08] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: Aye, just needed a few moments
[25.08.2025 22:54:14] Lazurith: What? Are you a relationship counselor?
[25.08.2025 22:54:19] Lazurith: How much do you charge for an hour?
[25.08.2025 22:54:24] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: Was thinkin ye two were sounding like a couple.
[25.08.2025 22:54:26] Innkeep.Ozei.Ruousha: [He nods, moving over to Kayla to offer to hold her for a moment]
[25.08.2025 22:54:38] BlueHat: I mean, in the sense that Eye-Em-Gee is a "Asset Liquidator" or a Massuse, sure
[25.08.2025 22:54:38] Lazurith: Well, she did save my life.
[25.08.2025 22:54:47] A/)-Revenant: What does a relationship counselor do?
[25.08.2025 22:54:48] Lazurith: From a very, very, very bad incident that happened about a year ago.
[25.08.2025 22:55:03] The.Gaelic.Wyvern.Inn: [Kayla leaned against him for a moment]
[25.08.2025 22:55:04] BlueHat: Not sure, Techno-Bro
[25.08.2025 22:55:09] A/)-Revenant: But I thought you were one?
[25.08.2025 22:55:13] BlueHat: Seems like they make real weird videos on the NeuralNet
[25.08.2025 22:55:20] A/)-Revenant: Damn. I hoped someone would know the secret to sexiness.
[25.08.2025 22:55:21] BlueHat: Well, see, that's what I call a "Joke"
From: Hunter/Tracker Bessie Bishop, BHG. To: BlueHat Topic: NEW DEAL Encryption: SENSITIVE
decrypting message ... DONE
When I got this message for a second I thought it was something to do with that bar fight the other day. Heh, well I ain't complainin I guess...
I gotta say here if this is a job offer this here is probably the most roundabout wackin around the bush way I have seen of putting one out there. Judgin from your callsign I am gonna assume we ain't exactly had the chance of meetin in person yet, it dun ring any bells admittedly.
Guess my reputation proceeds me some... or it's just Laz blowing smoke again. Why exactly you callin me up anyways? Just for dealing with Rogues and pirates in Coronado? You ain't exactly sounding like you're on the right side of the law yourself. Gotta admire your guts if that's the case, calling up a bounty hunter. But maybe I read the room wrong. Maybe this is about fucking with Laz? Hah! Ah well, I am sure I will run into you sooner or later, I frequent Barrier Gate a fair bit. Just don't make a mess there, and I am sure we can be all civilized about stuff.

Look babe,
Imagine trying to scam someone out of their life savings while some idiot is screaming in the corner about “OH GOD I’M BEING MUGGED” or some stupid nonsense, and then you got the other dude going “OI I’M MUGGIN YA” while the cops are screaming in, sirens left and fukkin right, god knows who is screaming, and some old dude has had a heart attack in the corner. That’s Coronado right now. Not that I’d try to scam someone out of their life savings or anything, that’s for chumps, I try to scam folks out of their life insurance policies instead. Did you know that those things have gone sky-holy-shit-high since Jericho went disco? Shit is wild. DSE pulled all their policies like absolute IDIOTS and now all you need to do is pretend that folks are dead and suddenly FREE MONEY.
The problem is actually gathering the info out of DSE and the rest of these corpos. All this petty crime is making it so difficult to do the REAL funny crime because of all the new strain on the already FUCKED NeuralNet.
So yeah, I’m just trying to make a living out here. If you could shoot some of these chumps, that’d be pretty cool. Thanks and all.
