I met Birdie again. That adorable girl that called me a loco woman last time I saw her. I met her at Freeport 11 after I picked up a new batch of tea and some trinkets at Gran Canaria. Her friend named Cassiopeia seems to really hate Nomak and asked me to accompany her in tracking him down and exterminating him. It will be fun entertainment, but I have no idea where he is. Guess I need to be on his tail again. I do not have much on hand anyway and is it not my very purpose to punish the impure? Seem like I have a new goal for the moment. Let the hunt begin.
Code:
[20.02.2018 01:01:47] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: This is burst transmission to all in Omicron Delta, any Commune sighted?
[20.02.2018 01:03:57] Megaera: No Commune here
[20.02.2018 01:05:04] Megaera: It is just me here, actually
[20.02.2018 01:05:09] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Oh! *Chuckles nervously* Hi... Megaera.
[20.02.2018 01:05:42] Megaera: I think I recognise your voice somewhere... Didn't you call me loco?
[20.02.2018 01:06:56] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Yeah that sounds like me. But I think I said that you sounded like a new cult popping up that was going after Nomads-
[20.02.2018 01:07:15] Harpy-"Garuda": and if that was the case then have at.
[20.02.2018 01:07:42] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Honestly I don't know what to think of you.
[20.02.2018 01:07:55] Megaera: Yes, but I prefer talking to nomads now
[20.02.2018 01:08:04] Megaera: Interesting creatures
[20.02.2018 01:09:14] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: They are... When they aren't trying to kill you by overloading your mind.
[20.02.2018 01:09:48] Megaera: That is true... I guess I overloaded theirs
[20.02.2018 01:10:14] Megaera: I see you
[20.02.2018 01:10:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: *Giggles* Yeah, I guess you would.
[20.02.2018 01:10:49] Megaera: Want some tea? It is fresh from Gran Canaria
[20.02.2018 01:11:01] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Oh. Thank you.
[20.02.2018 01:12:04] Megaera: It had some nice stuff there
[20.02.2018 01:12:15] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: I'll just get this started.
[20.02.2018 01:12:56] Megaera: Guess no one is in the area here
[20.02.2018 01:13:16] Megaera: I encountered nothing on my way
[20.02.2018 01:13:19] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Yeah, it's better this way really.
[20.02.2018 01:13:22] Megaera: Not even AI
[20.02.2018 01:14:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Elena: Hmm... Might as well turn off Doppelganger.
[20.02.2018 01:14:35] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: As you wish Birdie.
[20.02.2018 01:14:35] Megaera: What is that?
[20.02.2018 01:15:02] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Oh... Uh, kinda hard to explain exactly what it is.
[20.02.2018 01:15:16] Megaera: Hmm, that is fine
[20.02.2018 01:15:39] Megaera: *sips tea*
[20.02.2018 01:15:54] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: But pretty much it's a holographic overlay, it's seamless when viewed over comms screens.
[20.02.2018 01:16:05] Megaera: Ah
[20.02.2018 01:16:44] Megaera: Usually I want people to see what their death looks like.
[20.02.2018 01:17:05] Megaera: Needs less explaining when I stand infront of them
[20.02.2018 01:17:39] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: I'd offer you a copy of the program but "A" I don't go giving my softwear to just anybody.
[20.02.2018 01:17:54] Harpy-"Garuda": And "B" I don't you'd get much use out of it.
[20.02.2018 01:18:18] Megaera: I appreciate the offer either way
[20.02.2018 01:18:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Birdie...
[20.02.2018 01:18:31] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: What?
[20.02.2018 01:18:42] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: I still don't trust her.
[20.02.2018 01:19:03] Megaera: Lady Cass sounds wise
[20.02.2018 01:19:09] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: I'm getting pings that she's clean.
[20.02.2018 01:19:56] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: I know it's just... Something is off about her, always has been anytime I catch something related to her.
[20.02.2018 01:20:09] Megaera: I am always clear about my intentions however. I do not have to hide behind meaningless lies
[20.02.2018 01:20:25] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Yeah Cassiopeia's a smart cookie.
[20.02.2018 01:20:42] Megaera: Cassiopeia... pretty name
[20.02.2018 01:21:07] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: If it wasn't for her a lot of my workload would've been doubled.
[20.02.2018 01:21:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Thank you Ms Megaera.
[20.02.2018 01:21:37] Megaera: Cass, promise me to keep watch over her.
[20.02.2018 01:21:47] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: She chose it herself when she was booted up.
[20.02.2018 01:22:05] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: That has been my intentions from the begining.
[20.02.2018 01:22:08] Megaera: She deserves someone to protect her
[20.02.2018 01:22:55] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Between Mark, Bride, Cass, Nodoka, Honya, Alberts. I think I have enough people doing that.
[20.02.2018 01:23:19] Megaera: That is good
[20.02.2018 01:23:56] Megaera: But it dangerous calling random people loco when they are present
[20.02.2018 01:24:15] Megaera: I dont really care, cause everyone does that
[20.02.2018 01:24:33] Megaera: But some corsair might take more issue with it
[20.02.2018 01:25:08] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Well, when an Agnostic person hears someone calling themself a God slash Goddess, we tend to think them crazy.
[20.02.2018 01:26:17] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Granted if someone proved that they are in fact a deity then we'd figure it out from there.
[20.02.2018 01:26:22] Megaera: God or mortal, an offended person cause become hostile quickly
[20.02.2018 01:27:27] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Yeah, just look at Golanski, he sees a base allow Core ships to dock and he rolls out the fleets.
[20.02.2018 01:28:00] Megaera: I met him yes
[20.02.2018 01:28:17] Megaera: I question his resolve
[20.02.2018 01:28:27] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Oh... Sheesh, my condolences.
[20.02.2018 01:28:47] Megaera: It was during my scan for nomad infection
[20.02.2018 01:28:58] Megaera: We had a talk about gods
[20.02.2018 01:29:31] Megaera: He said the same about outdated human religions
[20.02.2018 01:29:46] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: That's... strange really. Normally a Bioscan wouldn't call of someone as high up as an Admiral to be there.
[20.02.2018 01:30:08] Megaera: Guess he wanted to see who blew up his warships
[20.02.2018 01:30:46] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Laughs* No way! You actually took down an Order capital!?
[20.02.2018 01:31:17] Megaera: Well I had help from nomads
[20.02.2018 01:32:17] Harpy-"Garuda": "Cassiopeia places a hand on the pilots seat, the look on her face suggests anger"
[20.02.2018 01:32:34] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: You allied with the Nomads?
[20.02.2018 01:32:44] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Hoo... Boy.
[20.02.2018 01:33:25] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Well this is weird. You say you fight with Nomads yet... You also fight the Commune?
[20.02.2018 01:33:25] Megaera: Well, I was talking with one and he interrupted it all
[20.02.2018 01:33:48] Megaera: I do not like being interrupted in a meeting
[20.02.2018 01:33:55] Megaera: And then he opened fire
[20.02.2018 01:34:07] Megaera: I would not have that
[20.02.2018 01:34:25] Megaera: Commune is just... scum
[20.02.2018 01:34:56] Megaera: They made it a priority to kill me
[20.02.2018 01:35:04] Megaera: I mean seriously
[20.02.2018 01:35:15] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: I uh... Huh. Why though?
[20.02.2018 01:35:24] Megaera: They did not even make a dent in my ship yet
[20.02.2018 01:35:52] Megaera: Well it is a long story
[20.02.2018 01:36:15] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Yes. They are cowards the lot of them. Prefering to call on Nomads and their thralls instead of fighting themselves.
[20.02.2018 01:36:17] Megaera: There is this nomad named Kess, who floats around this freeport often
[20.02.2018 01:36:35] Megaera: She is an outcast of her kind
[20.02.2018 01:36:45] Megaera: We often interract
[20.02.2018 01:37:00] Megaera: She sent the commune to investigate me
[20.02.2018 01:37:22] Megaera: Instead they spied on me for another group of nomads
[20.02.2018 01:37:24] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Said Nomad who allied with the Commune on valentines day Birdie.
[20.02.2018 01:37:40] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: I know Cass... I know.
[20.02.2018 01:38:04] Megaera: So afterwards I went to inform Kess about that
[20.02.2018 01:38:32] Megaera: And now because of my counter espionage, Commune now wants me dead
[20.02.2018 01:38:53] Megaera: I know too much basicly
[20.02.2018 01:39:27] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: ...
[20.02.2018 01:39:43] Megaera: *sips tea*
[20.02.2018 01:40:32] Harpy-"Garuda": "Birdie's mouth starts twitching her eyes give away the fact that she's holding in laughter."
[20.02.2018 01:40:48] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Birdie? Are you ok?
[20.02.2018 01:41:03] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Laughs loudly*
[20.02.2018 01:41:34] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Continues to laugh hard enough that she falls out of her chair*
[20.02.2018 01:41:50] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Oh my God that's rich!
[20.02.2018 01:41:59] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Birdie!?
[20.02.2018 01:42:19] Megaera: Are you ok?
[20.02.2018 01:42:53] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Ohh... Oh I'm fine guys... It's just that, Nomak put a hit on you for that?
[20.02.2018 01:43:03] Megaera: Yes
[20.02.2018 01:43:11] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: He's a friggen idiot!
[20.02.2018 01:43:13] Megaera: And on the nomad named Kess
[20.02.2018 01:43:31] Megaera: He hates us both
[20.02.2018 01:43:57] Harpy-"Garuda": "Birdie begins laughing again"
[20.02.2018 01:44:07] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Oh my GOD!
[20.02.2018 01:44:18] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: And the Squid?
[20.02.2018 01:44:34] Megaera: Yes
[20.02.2018 01:45:06] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Oh man... That's too much Meg... Oh lordy... Hoo! Oh man that just makes his threat's against the port even dumber.
[20.02.2018 01:46:12] Megaera: I do not even bother looking for him
[20.02.2018 01:46:55] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Would you mind doing so? Helping me Cass and Striker track him down?
[20.02.2018 01:47:18] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Pretty sure if you did that Hanamura would love you for it.
[20.02.2018 01:48:09] Megaera: sure, but I would have come across him if he wasnt hiding
[20.02.2018 01:48:21] Megaera: I fly all across Sirius
[20.02.2018 01:48:38] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Hmm... Cass, do you mind?
[20.02.2018 01:49:17] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Do I mind wh-Oh... I... I guess so?
[20.02.2018 01:50:11] Megaera: *sips tea*
[20.02.2018 01:51:46] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: there's a ship by the name of Bird of Stymphalia, it's Cassiopeia's personal fighter. If you catch wind of him, contact
[20.02.2018 01:52:04] Harpy-"Garuda": me or Cass and She'll make her way to you.
[20.02.2018 01:52:49] Megaera: Alright, but with what purpose?
[20.02.2018 01:53:11] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: To end the bastards life once and for all.
[20.02.2018 01:53:29] Megaera: Ah, entertainment
[20.02.2018 01:54:09] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: He has threatened not only the Freeport, but my friends as well. I will NOT allow that lunatic get by with trying to kill
[20.02.2018 01:54:24] Harpy-"Garuda": those who let me attain life.
[20.02.2018 01:54:51] Megaera: Ofcourse
[20.02.2018 01:55:56] Megaera: We should hack his ship and remote detonate the NEMP if hes carries any
[20.02.2018 01:56:10] Megaera: Poetic justice
[20.02.2018 01:56:17] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Hey Cass... It's alright, he's not here and Striker's still alive.
[20.02.2018 01:57:05] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: That... That could work if I could get into his system.
[20.02.2018 01:57:05] Megaera: Nomak called me a lunatic too
[20.02.2018 01:57:21] Megaera: Only he is Nomak
[20.02.2018 01:57:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: You're insane, not a lunatic.
[20.02.2018 01:57:37] Megaera: Shush, I was talking
[20.02.2018 01:57:51] Megaera: Now I lost the epic speech I was preparing
[20.02.2018 01:57:57] Megaera: Meh
[20.02.2018 01:58:03] Megaera: We will have to do without
[20.02.2018 01:58:30] Harpy-"Garuda": "Cass inhales and raises a fist, only to stop when Birdie motions for her to calm down"
[20.02.2018 02:00:06] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Forgive Cass, her emotions have only been getting stronger as time goes by.
[20.02.2018 02:00:23] Megaera: I am not angry at her
[20.02.2018 02:00:49] Megaera: Only just had some great speech in mind, but my train of thought got lost
[20.02.2018 02:01:53] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: But she's right even if you aren't offended. I was told once that my emotions aren't true, they're falshoods... But they-
[20.02.2018 02:02:01] Harpy-"Garuda": feel real to me...
[20.02.2018 02:02:13] Megaera: And why should they be false?
[20.02.2018 02:02:47] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Because I am a falsehood myself. I was made by Birdie.
[20.02.2018 02:03:10] Megaera: I do not believe that you are a falsehood
[20.02.2018 02:04:04] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: My programming is based off of a century old AI, I'm just not as advanced as Honya or Pale Bride.
[20.02.2018 02:04:22] Megaera: And?
[20.02.2018 02:05:40] Megaera: Does that make your existence void?
[20.02.2018 02:06:01] Megaera: You have purpose
[20.02.2018 02:06:07] Megaera: You have thinking
[20.02.2018 02:06:15] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: I-I... "tears start falling down her cheeks" I don't know...
[20.02.2018 02:06:32] Megaera: You have distrust against me even though Birdie does not
[20.02.2018 02:06:43] Megaera: Shows independant thought to me
[20.02.2018 02:07:29] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Yeah, she's pretty much made herself. I just got her working, Hell, she made Doppelganger when I couldn't!
[20.02.2018 02:07:43] Megaera: Actually you are more real to me than many humans I have met
[20.02.2018 02:07:59] Megaera: So do not give me that self doubt
[20.02.2018 02:08:11] Megaera: You deserve better
[20.02.2018 02:08:13] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: I... Thank you, Megaera.
[20.02.2018 02:08:40] Megaera: Just stating the truth here
[20.02.2018 02:09:11] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Sometimes the truth is the hardest thing to see though.
[20.02.2018 02:09:38] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: All it takes then is a simple push in the right direction.
[20.02.2018 02:10:04] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: You just found out how before I clicked to it.
[20.02.2018 02:10:07] Megaera: a gentle push *laughs*
[20.02.2018 02:11:29] Megaera: Cass probally knew it all along, but was afraid of accepting it, incase she would be rejected
[20.02.2018 02:11:44] Megaera: Well Cass, I wont reject you
[20.02.2018 02:12:23] Megaera: And we will kick Nomak butt together
[20.02.2018 02:13:25] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Thank you... And when the times comes, I look forward to fighting with you.
[20.02.2018 02:13:54] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: You're still weird. But same.
[20.02.2018 02:13:56] Megaera: With a little luck he is stupid enough to blow himself up before that
[20.02.2018 02:14:25] Megaera: He is not really the most detailed page in the book
[20.02.2018 02:14:57] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: One could hope. Maybe the K'Hara will shove a tentacle down his throat and smash him against a rock.
[20.02.2018 02:15:13] Megaera: They probally want to do that anyway
[20.02.2018 02:15:31] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: *Snikers* I don't think that Nomads can do that Birdie.
[20.02.2018 02:15:58] Megaera: Well I dunno...
[20.02.2018 02:16:09] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Whoa whoa back it up. The K'Hara type Nomads want to kill Nomak?
[20.02.2018 02:16:33] Megaera: Nomak is actively hostile towards them
[20.02.2018 02:16:41] Megaera: Or so I heard
[20.02.2018 02:16:58] Megaera: Only Vagrants still like him
[20.02.2018 02:17:12] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: ...Huh, and yet he treats the Vagrant types like attack dogs... Interesting.
[20.02.2018 02:17:33] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Well, you can talk with Nomads right?
[20.02.2018 02:17:35] Megaera: He is busy commiting suicide all on his own
[20.02.2018 02:18:31] Megaera: I have my occasional contacts
[20.02.2018 02:18:48] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Mind looking into the links between the Wild and the K'Hara types? Because the Kusari Wild cells attacked us for Nomak.
[20.02.2018 02:19:32] Megaera: I dont associate with wild. I am not stupid enough to expose myself to possible infection.
[20.02.2018 02:19:58] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: I was asking to talk with the K'Hara, not the Wild.
[20.02.2018 02:20:13] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Might want to rephrase that.
[20.02.2018 02:20:44] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Yeah, As in. Wanting you bring it up next time you chat up those Squids.
[20.02.2018 02:20:46] Megaera: Hmm, as far as I know, infectees often operate on their own terms
[20.02.2018 02:21:26] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Really? Interesting, I thought they'd be linked to the Mindshare.
[20.02.2018 02:21:44] Megaera: Well I am not going to test it out
[20.02.2018 02:21:47] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Guess that shows how little I know about them.
[20.02.2018 02:22:11] Megaera: I am just beginning to know things about them
[20.02.2018 02:22:52] Megaera: It is not like I am all knowing
[20.02.2018 02:23:04] Megaera: Even my divinity has limitations
[20.02.2018 02:23:16] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Well, I know that Nomads use Theta waves to communicate. And that if even a Nomad Morph type form can-
[20.02.2018 02:23:34] Harpy-"Garuda": easily kill a Incubus with them.
[20.02.2018 02:24:08] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: To... Explosive effect I should add.
[20.02.2018 02:24:16] Megaera: A nomad once said that the light can not see into my mind
[20.02.2018 02:24:54] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Pfft *laughs* My my, you might just be a deity after all!
[20.02.2018 02:25:12] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Giggles* That's a first for sure.
[20.02.2018 02:25:56] Megaera: That sounds like sarcasm
[20.02.2018 02:26:47] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: Well, it IS a first. There aren't any accounts of Nomads not being able to read someones mind.
[20.02.2018 02:27:11] Megaera: Hmm
[20.02.2018 02:27:47] Megaera: Guess that is why they are friendly to me. They study me.
[20.02.2018 02:28:09] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Which means there's something different about said mind. Could be anything from damage-
[20.02.2018 02:28:20] Harpy-"Garuda": to actually being of divine nature.
[20.02.2018 02:29:01] Megaera: I will take the second
[20.02.2018 02:29:52] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Color me interested Megaera. You're unique out here. And not in the kills anything that moves unique.
[20.02.2018 02:30:06] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: And that's rare.
[20.02.2018 02:30:40] Megaera: But I do not kill anything that moves!
[20.02.2018 02:30:54] Megaera: I am actually very nice
[20.02.2018 02:31:01] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Coughs* That's uh... That's what I said.
[20.02.2018 02:31:21] Megaera: I only kill those that ask for death
[20.02.2018 02:31:43] Megaera: And that happens to be many
[20.02.2018 02:31:54] Megaera: Not my fault
[20.02.2018 02:31:59] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: I still don't trust you... But you have me... In a way eager to have more discussions.
[20.02.2018 02:32:43] Megaera: Well it would be silly to trust me so soon
[20.02.2018 02:32:54] Harpy-"Garuda": Cass: You are a very interesting being. Divine or no.
[20.02.2018 02:33:26] Megaera: You are too, lady Cassiopeia
[20.02.2018 02:33:57] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Ooh "Lady Cassiopeia" I really like that. Sounds cute.
[20.02.2018 02:34:22] Megaera: I like formalities
[20.02.2018 02:37:12] Megaera: Well if you ladies excuse me now. I have some business at the freeport
[20.02.2018 02:37:20] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: *Stretches* Same.
[20.02.2018 02:37:30] Harpy-"Garuda": Birdie: Bye Meg.
[20.02.2018 02:37:33] Megaera: I will see you later mayhaps
[20.02.2018 02:37:56] Megaera: Sayonara
