(Subject: Congress Q&A - Texas

---

---

Bonjour.

Today, I joined the Curator and Keeper on a flight to Texas, where we first encountered a Lane Hacker speaking to a Junker Congressman named 'Snell'. Once they were done, Monsieur Hunt followed the Hacker, while Mademoiselle Raven and I remained in Texas to ask the Congressmen some questions.

The log from my black box is as follows.

Black Box Log

[08.10.2016 18:11:34] LH~Gustav.Graves: Evening.
[08.10.2016 18:11:37] A/)-Volucris: Hello.
[08.10.2016 18:11:38] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Hail, Auxesians.
[08.10.2016 18:11:39] A/)-Archangel: Evening.
[08.10.2016 18:11:43] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Bonjour.
[08.10.2016 18:11:44] Terra.Firma: Tyria: Pardon me.
[08.10.2016 18:11:52] A/)-Volucris: Just the type of person I was looking for.
[08.10.2016 18:11:56] Terra.Firma: Bonjour mon amis.
[08.10.2016 18:11:59] A/)-Volucris: Unless we're interupting something.
[08.10.2016 18:12:07] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Only a Q&A session.
[08.10.2016 18:12:13] LH~Gustav.Graves: That depends. Is there something to add, Mr. Snell?
[08.10.2016 18:12:19] LH~Gustav.Graves: Every detail helps.
[08.10.2016 18:12:26] A/)-Volucris: Ah.
[08.10.2016 18:12:30] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: He's managed to hijack Ari's comms once, so far.
[08.10.2016 18:12:35] A/)-Volucris: Well - we're about to open up another Q&A after his, ha.
[08.10.2016 18:12:37] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: So we're on a bit of a timer.
[08.10.2016 18:12:47] A/)-Volucris: Hm.
[08.10.2016 18:12:48] A/)-Volucris: Anyway.
[08.10.2016 18:12:56] LH~Gustav.Graves: I presume this is why you deactivated her?
[08.10.2016 18:13:12] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: I don't control that.
[08.10.2016 18:13:20] A/)-Volucris: [Patiently awaits, bringing up their personal datapad to watch something]
[08.10.2016 18:13:22] LH~Gustav.Graves: But it is reasonably to be expected.
[08.10.2016 18:13:34] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: She shut herself off after another, very much awkward exchange.
[08.10.2016 18:13:48] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: And no, I am not divulging the details on that.
[08.10.2016 18:13:53] LH~Gustav.Graves: Quite so, I agree.
[08.10.2016 18:14:12] LH~Gustav.Graves: As you wish, then. I would take this info back to my colleagues.
[08.10.2016 18:14:33] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Alright, and try not to get caught docking at Rochester by a Liberty official.
[08.10.2016 18:14:47] LH~Gustav.Graves: That would be preferable.
[08.10.2016 18:14:54] LH~Gustav.Graves: A good day to you.
[08.10.2016 18:15:11] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: I wouldn't advise firing on him just now, Auxesians. He's got some use to us.
[08.10.2016 18:15:17] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Plus, a potential bounty.
[08.10.2016 18:15:18] A/)-Archangel: We don't intend to.
[08.10.2016 18:15:39] A/)-Volucris: [Hums a controversial cartoon's theme song very quietly, then lowers their datapad]
[08.10.2016 18:15:40] A/)-Volucris: Wuh?
[08.10.2016 18:15:48] A/)-Volucris: Oh - drat, - Oh, you dingbats, he's leaving.
[08.10.2016 18:16:02] LH~Gustav.Graves: I was really curious when you'd notice.
[08.10.2016 18:16:05] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Wait, you meant me?
[08.10.2016 18:16:23] A/)-Volucris: I probably should pay more attention and accidentally eavesdrop more.
[08.10.2016 18:16:27] A/)-Volucris: But oh well.
[08.10.2016 18:16:30] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Merde.. I wasn't sure which one we were doing the Q&A with..
[08.10.2016 18:16:34] A/)-Volucris: Congress.
[08.10.2016 18:16:41] A/)-Archangel: Speak to the Junker, I'll talk to Graves.
[08.10.2016 18:16:57] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Just offloading scrap.
[08.10.2016 18:17:04] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Stay where you are.
[08.10.2016 18:17:49] A/)-Volucris: Hey there.
[08.10.2016 18:18:00] .:j:.John_San: Hello.
[08.10.2016 18:18:01] A/)-Volucris: Do you have a minute to talk?
[08.10.2016 18:18:14] A/)-Volucris: Outside of the cloud, of course.
[08.10.2016 18:18:34] A/)-Volucris: I want to ask you something.
[08.10.2016 18:18:39] A/)-Volucris: Heard any kind of gossip lately?
[08.10.2016 18:18:50] A/)-Volucris: Any... weird sightings... weird ships, people, organisations, maybe?
[08.10.2016 18:19:13] .:j:.John_San: First, I present me. I'm from gallic systems.
[08.10.2016 18:19:23] A/)-Volucris: Uhm.
[08.10.2016 18:19:26] A/)-Volucris: Oooooookaaaaaay.
[08.10.2016 18:19:28] .:j:.John_San: So, I can't really understand what you say
[08.10.2016 18:19:31] A/)-Volucris: Anyone else besides you or the Congress?
[08.10.2016 18:19:33] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: Howdy fellers
[08.10.2016 18:19:48] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Bonjour, mon ami.
[08.10.2016 18:20:07] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: good to see you fine folk around. how can we help you?
[08.10.2016 18:20:16] A/)-Volucris: We're interesting in finding information about an Osiris.
[08.10.2016 18:20:23] .:j:.John_San: Ah !
[08.10.2016 18:20:24] A/)-Volucris: Apparently it's been lurking in Liberty lately.
[08.10.2016 18:20:29] A/)-Volucris: Any words about it?
[08.10.2016 18:20:46] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: oh? well it was in texas coupla days back
[08.10.2016 18:21:04] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: but no idea where it is now, could be all the way on the other side of sirius easy.
[08.10.2016 18:21:08] .:j:.John_San: I remember it was with 5th
[08.10.2016 18:21:13] .:j:.John_San: yesterday
[08.10.2016 18:21:15] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: thats right yes
[08.10.2016 18:21:33] A/)-Volucris: How many days?
[08.10.2016 18:21:55] A/)-Volucris: Do you recall the name of it?
[08.10.2016 18:22:15] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: well i've been spending a lot of time behind the wheel so i'd say a coupla days, i think john's testimony is closer though
[08.10.2016 18:23:03] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: might have been the amenotep, not too sure really. you remember john?
[08.10.2016 18:23:17] .:j:.John_San: You're right
[08.10.2016 18:23:31] .:j:.John_San: I'll go check the name of his ship
[08.10.2016 18:23:33] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: there we go, i got sumthin' right fer a change haha
[08.10.2016 18:23:35] A/)-Volucris: Amenhotep?
[08.10.2016 18:23:36] A/)-Archangel: Oh.
[08.10.2016 18:23:40] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Kalh..
[08.10.2016 18:23:43] A/)-Archangel: Well thank you Lane Hackers.
[08.10.2016 18:23:46] A/)-Volucris: We're getting names of the Amenhotep.
[08.10.2016 18:23:47] A/)-Volucris: What?
[08.10.2016 18:23:54] .:j:.John_San: Yes
[08.10.2016 18:24:04] A/)-Volucris: That's weird.
[08.10.2016 18:24:08] A/)-Archangel: They're willing to share what evidence they have of the Amenhotep collaborating with the Navy against non-Nomads.
[08.10.2016 18:24:21] A/)-Volucris: You sounded sarcastic.
[08.10.2016 18:24:23] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Did I miss anything?
[08.10.2016 18:24:30] A/)-Volucris: So - do you know what he was doing?
[08.10.2016 18:24:33] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: well want no introductions, only heard about it on the radio chatter
[08.10.2016 18:24:34] A/)-Volucris: Was he alone?
[08.10.2016 18:24:37] .:j:.John_San: No idea
[08.10.2016 18:24:40] A/)-Volucris: Any images?
[08.10.2016 18:24:57] A/)-Archangel: No. I'm quite surprised at this. Seems as though Mister Kalh has jumped ship, and brought his Osiris with him.
[08.10.2016 18:24:58] .:j:.John_San: Alone, I don't think.
[08.10.2016 18:25:07] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: i do know there was a bunch of filth, i mean, 5th in the system same time. whether they was together or they was chasin'
[08.10.2016 18:25:07] A/)-Volucris: Wh...
[08.10.2016 18:25:13] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: him i dont know
[08.10.2016 18:25:27] .:j:.John_San: Yes
[08.10.2016 18:25:28] A/)-Volucris: Hahaha.
[08.10.2016 18:25:30] A/)-Volucris: Filth.
[08.10.2016 18:25:32] A/)-Volucris: Classic.
[08.10.2016 18:26:00] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: thats unfortunately all the info i has on the incident though
[08.10.2016 18:26:08] A/)-Volucris: Ah, so no pretty pictures?
[08.10.2016 18:26:14] .:j:.John_San: No one
[08.10.2016 18:26:20] A/)-Volucris: Drat.
[08.10.2016 18:26:32] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: unfortunately no, they wasnt in PR so not really that big of an event for us
[08.10.2016 18:26:35] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Something's better than nothing..
[08.10.2016 18:26:50] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Now the anus Nomads, that's another story.
[08.10.2016 18:27:06] A/)-Volucris: The... what?
[08.10.2016 18:27:08] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: we'll keep an eye out and be sure to load some film for if we spot them again
[08.10.2016 18:27:31] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: 'Anus Nomads'..
[08.10.2016 18:27:41] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Title's self explanatory.
[08.10.2016 18:27:46] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: ah excuse him, hes had some stressful encounters with them blue fellers
[08.10.2016 18:27:55] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: Not like that.
[08.10.2016 18:27:57] A/)-Volucris: Ehrm.
[08.10.2016 18:28:01] .:j:.ScrapVulture: Snell: There was no orifice invasion.
[08.10.2016 18:28:10] A/)-Volucris: I believe the Nomads don't require the need to defecate, and thus don't have the organ to do so.
[08.10.2016 18:28:11] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: they almost climbed right inside his mind they did
[08.10.2016 18:28:53] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: luckily that got sorted before we lost our beloved cuz
[08.10.2016 18:29:07] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: special as he may be
[08.10.2016 18:29:32] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Uh..huh...
[08.10.2016 18:30:01] .:j:.John_San: So, do you have other question ? Need informations about other thing ?
[08.10.2016 18:30:02] A/)-Volucris: Ehrm...
[08.10.2016 18:30:05] A/)-Volucris: R-iiii-iiight.
[08.10.2016 18:30:05] A/)-Archangel: Even better.
[08.10.2016 18:30:07] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: if you fine folks would please excuse me, we're busy clearing that field over there, and as you can see, lots of work to dol
[08.10.2016 18:30:12] A/)-Volucris: So, beyond that, no other weird things?
[08.10.2016 18:30:17] A/)-Archangel: Graves is confronting Golanski about the matter with low expectations.
[08.10.2016 18:30:23] A/)-Volucris: That's fine, you've been a great help.
[08.10.2016 18:30:27] A/)-Volucris: Eh?
[08.10.2016 18:30:41] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: nope, some nomads was in PR the other day, some xenos a day before, aint seen them again
[08.10.2016 18:30:47] A/)-Archangel: The Amenhotep has been seen working with Liberty on a more lawful stance.
[08.10.2016 18:30:50] A/)-Volucris: Nomads? How big?
[08.10.2016 18:30:54] A/)-Volucris: Oh.
[08.10.2016 18:30:55] A/)-Volucris: That's...
[08.10.2016 18:30:57] A/)-Volucris: Not good at all.
[08.10.2016 18:31:05] A/)-Archangel: Well, it's a bittersweet situation.
[08.10.2016 18:31:13] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: reasonably big, i'd say gunboat/cruiser size at least
[08.10.2016 18:31:26] A/)-Archangel: Bitter that Liberty is getting their hands on an Osiris. Sweet that the Order is losing another warship from their -
[08.10.2016 18:31:31] A/)-Archangel: Trip to the Independent Worlds.
[08.10.2016 18:31:36] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: want no rookies either. was the real deal. k'hara
[08.10.2016 18:32:07] A/)-Volucris: Ah. Noted.
[08.10.2016 18:32:20] A/)-Volucris: Be warned, if you have any Azurite, Nomadic Materials of any kind - it /will/ attract them.
[08.10.2016 18:32:25] A/)-Volucris: I believe we got our answers.
[08.10.2016 18:32:35] A/)-Archangel: Graves asked me to compile the evidence of the Amenhotep attacking the Wraith in California.
[08.10.2016 18:32:38] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: alright then folks, pleasure talking ta y'all. best of luck with yer search.
[08.10.2016 18:32:40] A/)-Volucris: Gentlemen, and ladies if any other present.
[08.10.2016 18:32:50] A/)-Volucris: I thank you so dearly for the assistance.
[08.10.2016 18:32:51] A/)-Archangel: Help them build a case against the integrity of the Order.
[08.10.2016 18:33:04] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: always a pleasure. you have a good night now!
[08.10.2016 18:33:13] A/)-Volucris: My gift to you.
[08.10.2016 18:33:13] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: You too, mon amis.
[08.10.2016 18:33:17] .:j:.John_Sa: Have a good flight
[08.10.2016 18:33:25] A/)-Volucris: We got the relevant data.
[08.10.2016 18:33:27] .:j:.Cotton.Eye.Joe: yeehaaww, and my wallet thanks ye too! *tips hat*
[08.10.2016 18:34:01] .:j:.ScrapVulture: [Muffled honks in the distance]
[08.10.2016 18:34:12] A/)-Volucris: *she giggles slightly*
[08.10.2016 18:34:14] A/)-Volucris: O-o-okay.
[08.10.2016 18:35:34] A/)-Volucris: So.
[08.10.2016 18:35:47] A/)-Volucris: Shove all of our findings in the uplink, then we can look towards potential issues.
[08.10.2016 18:35:59] A/)-Volucris: Tristan, would you like to upload the data recordings?
[08.10.2016 18:36:15] A/)-Tristan.Fresnel: Sure.
[08.10.2016 18:36:35] A/)-Volucris: Wonderful.
[08.10.2016 18:37:06] A/)-Volucris: Actually.
[08.10.2016 18:37:07] A/)-Volucris: Wait up.
[08.10.2016 18:37:09] A/)-Volucris: ...
[08.10.2016 18:37:14] A/)-Volucris: Theory time.
[08.10.2016 18:37:26] A/)-Volucris: You know how there's infested elements in the Liberty forces...
[08.10.2016 18:37:32] A/)-Volucris: Do you think there's any connection to that?
[08.10.2016 18:37:33] A/)-Volucris: Harmony?
[08.10.2016 18:37:53] A/)-Archangel: It's possible, but he's working with the Fifth. They tried to detain Harmony originally.
[08.10.2016 18:38:01] A/)-Volucris: Ah.
[08.10.2016 18:38:02] A/)-Volucris: Right.
[08.10.2016 18:38:04] A/)-Volucris: Hm.
[08.10.2016 18:38:06] A/)-Volucris: Trying to think.
[08.10.2016 18:38:09] A/)-Volucris: Okay. Where now?
[08.10.2016 18:38:45] A/)-Archangel: I suppose we head back and compile our findings, get in touch with the Lane Hackers and let Tia find out more data.
[08.10.2016 18:38:51] A/)-Volucris: Alright.
[08.10.2016 18:39:01] A/)-Volucris: Hello.
[08.10.2016 18:39:03] A/)-Archangel: I could get in touch with my contacts in the Navy and Security Force, see what they might divulge.
[08.10.2016 18:39:17] A/)-Volucris: I'll have to get back to the Omicrons, but I'll quickly overlook this.

To the stars and beyond,
Tristan Fresnel, Templar.
