I launched last night at the scheduled time, but no one was about, so I proceeded toward Omega5 en route to Cambridge and a little shake-down cruise in my bomber. Weapon systems are still not kitted out, and there's a strange bug in the cutouts, firing the wrong weapon group, but I'll get it fixed.
As I proceeded through O5 toward the Cambridge JH, Voronov hailed me on private comms. I ignored the traitor and proceeded to Cambridge...
...Where I met him at the Jumphole. He faced me in his RTalon, but did not fire. As I didn't have a chance in a still-unfit Bomber, I tried to run, but he said he would not fire, only talk.
I'm not sure what I was thinking, or what command will do to me for it, but I humored him and gave my word I would not fire unless provoked. We parked 1k away from each other and opened communications.
As predicted, Voronov spouted rhetoric about how he was betrayed, how Captain Ares tried to kill him unprovoked, how I was a puppet of the High Command. He told me to check the histories, why was he alive, etc. He sounded more a drone reciting what he'd been programmed to rather than human.
I told him he was in error, that he'd abandoned his ideals of fighting for the people to ally himself with the elitist Brotherhood, but to no avail.
In the end, Voronov abided by the truce-flag and did not fire, and I kept my honor by doing the same. I made my way back to Cape Verde and for the next several hours sat in front of a terminal studying the history between the SCRA and the Corsair Brotherhood.
I accept what punishments command deem worthy for this dereliction of duty.
On another note, while engaged in conversation, Voronov and I were harassed by the BPA. When told a private conversation was commencing, they would not leave over. It seems they have no idea who the SCRA are...I think we should change that.
For now I will confine myself to my bunk, awaiting your decision.
