Greetings, estimated brothers of The Core.
This is Spectre One reporting for duty, once again. There has been a rather unpleasant skirmish in the proximity of Yaren's perimeter. I was on my regular patrol, only that this time, my workhorse was my trustworthy Skipjack, the "Treason". Two hostile entities were sighted: a Nomad creature, possibly an Adad Archon Bomber, and an unknown Outcast vessel, flying under the colors of the Commune Raiders. I will provide you with the audio log recovered from my blackbox.
Testing, testing. Spectre One reporting.
This is the full audio log of today's skirmish on Naruru.
As I've undocked from the base, the Core Sentinel Ar Sorgan and another ship flying under the name of A-Achilles have greeted me. I've decided to establish an RV location with my brothers, in order to sustain the almighty Core patrol. Unfortunately, one of those purple beasts got in my way. It was one of those Bomber things, probably. I could tell from his slow movements and his clumsy turns. As my good old Physics teacher back in Houston used to say, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". The brief encounter started with me chasing the foolish creature in order to blast it, and eventually of course, I did. Twice the pride, double the fall.
Flufy: **.. 'ours' remowe/eradicate -hostile- dark one (anger) ..**
Flufy: **.. 'dark ones' -perish- resistance is futile (!) ..**
Core|Treason: Perhaps not.
Death: Flufy suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Core|Treason: That was way too easy.
Once the creature had been taken care of, I have decided to move towards the RV location, only to find out that the Achilles
Paladin and the Sentinel Ar Sorgan were already surrounding the lonely Outcast vessel by themselves. I have decided to move forward to them
in order to assist furthermore my brothers in arms.
Core|Treason: Paladin Achilles.
Core|Treason: Where are you at?
Core|A-Achilles: Sector Foxtrot - 5.
Core|Treason: Roger.
The Sentinel gave the Paladin a blank canvas on what to do with the Outcast vessel.
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: Mah, do what you want with that Outcast..
Core|Treason: SP1: Let's settle this.
(C~Hernan.Rosales: *sits unamused*
Core|A-Achilles: Are you recanting that statement?
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: So you can do what you want with him.
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: Do you want to kill it? Kill it!
Core|A-Achilles: Call-sign Treason calls for Respect.
Core|A-Achilles: Ironic...
Core|Treason: S1: Perhaps.
Core|Treason: S1: You know nothing about me, fella.
Core|Treason: S1: Nor why I've named this ship like this.
Core|A-Achilles: I trust you understand that this isn't personal, Rosales.
Core|A-Achilles: It's just duty.
(C~Hernan.Rosales: What do you mean?
Core|A-Achilles: You die for Hydra's glory.
(C~Hernan.Rosales: That's very rude.
Core|A-Achilles: I'm sorry.
Core|A-Achilles: I'll make it painless.
The battle itself went on for several minutes, until something most unpleasant occured.
Core|Treason: Perhaps this paladin might need my help.
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: If you want, help him
(C~Hernan.Rosales: Damn.
Core|Treason: Assisting my brother.
(C~Hernan.Rosales: Damn. Core|A-Achilles: Back out.
Core|Treason: S1: Negative. Core|A-Achilles: Back out or I'll kill you.
Core|Treason: S1: Are you threathening me, Paladin?
Core|Treason: S1: It cannot be.
Core|Treason: S1: It's treason, then!
Core|Treason: S1: You will be reported for this.
Core|Treason: S1: Threathening your fellow brother to death.
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: Spectre! Enough! We will talk about it later...
Forlorn|-Eremiel: ?: Is that what the the employment relationships inside the Core are like?
Core|WV-Arbitrator.MK2: Ar: Don't concern about their. The fight get us nervous...
Core|Treason: S1: (Sighs.)
Nevertheless, the most arrogant Paladin boldly managed to take down the hostile fighter by himself.
(C~Hernan.Rosales: Ugh...
(C~Hernan.Rosales: Defending! Death: (C~Hernan.Rosales was put out of action by Core|A-Achilles (Mine).
Core|Treason: S1: Hrmm.
Core|Treason: S1: Bold.
Core|Treason: S1: Most bold.
Core|A-Achilles: He was capable.
Core|Treason: S1: So, what about that "Back off or i'll kill you" bit?
Core|A-Achilles: I didn't need my honor sullied.
Core|A-Achilles: Or Hydra's name.
Core|A-Achilles: One of ours is better than one of theirs.
Core|Treason: S1: Most commendable.
Core|Treason: S1: Arrogance.
That's it. This was the full report. Uploading message to the Core transmission channel.
Hail Hydra. Long live to the Core.
