Time for an update on what has happened lately. I have been doing some research, obtained new items, caused trouble, stalked Golanski, almost got kidnapped by the Commune and my sworn sister took a nomad to the face.
Currently I work on a new alloy. I have made the basic calculations and it looks promising. The Blood Dragons sold me new guns, the Sunfrenzies MKII. Also, I found some unknown wreck that I took with me for further studies. They are currently kept on a secret location.
Furthermore. A couple of week ago I was in Bering and Hellfire decided to disturb my peace and invaded it. I fought alongside the Unioners when Gunda asked nicely. Harmony was also present. I actually expected Harmony to shoot me, but oddly they did not. I mention this because I actually forgot this diary existed untill I encountered Hellfire again today. So I guess this will be revived for now.
It started when I was passing through New York and Hellfire saw me. There was a separatist among them. Some person named Yann... This group chased after me into that purple cloud with the floating crystals, or whatever they are, until I made a 160 turn and moved out of the cloud again.

[26.04.2018 18:42:18] Megaera: Greetings
[26.04.2018 18:43:33] [HF]-Stoneheart: Don't need to use the callsign.
[26.04.2018 18:43:38] [HF]-Stoneheart: Locklear will do fine.
[26.04.2018 18:43:48] Yann_Blackwings: Roger Locklear.
[26.04.2018 18:44:02] [HF]-Stoneheart: You're still alive?
[26.04.2018 18:44:06] Megaera: Me?
[26.04.2018 18:44:11] [HF]-Stoneheart: Yeah, you.
[26.04.2018 18:44:16] Megaera: I guess so
[26.04.2018 18:44:26] Yann_Blackwings: Its' a surprise! Again you!
[26.04.2018 18:44:47] [HF]-Stoneheart: Kind of shocking given how our meeting in Bering went.
[26.04.2018 18:45:03] Megaera: How so?
[26.04.2018 18:45:45] [HF]-Stoneheart: Suicidal pilots don't tend to live long.
[26.04.2018 18:45:59] Megaera: I cannot die
[26.04.2018 18:46:06] [HF]-Stoneheart: You can't?
[26.04.2018 18:46:16] [HF]-Blackjack,: Many people have said it before.
[26.04.2018 18:46:24] [HF]-Blackjack,: Guess they just weren't as confident.
[26.04.2018 18:46:25] Yann_Blackwings: And they are dead.
[26.04.2018 18:46:44] Megaera: I am not them
[26.04.2018 18:46:53] [HF]-Blackjack,: Clearly. You're still kicking.
There were police on the other side and the Hellfire group was distracted. So I decided to stick around.
Code:
[26.04.2018 18:47:24] [HF]-Stoneheart: Vaya con dios.
[26.04.2018 18:50:32] LPI-Chun-Mai.Dawn^[C]: Do I know you?
[26.04.2018 18:50:37] [HF]-Stoneheart: That depends on whether we're talking about the Durango's latrines or the Incursus'.
[26.04.2018 18:50:39] Megaera: Probally not
[26.04.2018 18:50:39] [HF]-Blackjack,: No.
[26.04.2018 18:51:07] Yann_Blackwings: I can affirm the LPI doesn't do something during their job's time....
[26.04.2018 18:51:43] Megaera: Oh you guys got out of the dark cloud
[26.04.2018 18:52:49] [HF]-Stoneheart: Christ, you know, I just realized.
[26.04.2018 18:53:16] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: Enlighten us.
[26.04.2018 18:53:27] Megaera: Left the stove on?
[26.04.2018 18:53:28] [HF]-Stoneheart: A woman of Kusari descent at the helm of Liberty's incorporated pig force. I bet the Xenos dig that.
[26.04.2018 18:53:47] LPI-Chun-Mai.Dawn^[C]: Yadda yadda.
[26.04.2018 18:53:50] [HF]-Free.Radical: I bet they dig a space grave for her
[26.04.2018 18:54:02] Megaera: How can you 'dig' space?
[26.04.2018 18:54:07] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: Miss, I'm getting hit by ion storms.
[26.04.2018 18:54:10] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: Did Hellfire do that?
[26.04.2018 18:54:14] [HF]-Free.Radical: well, dig a hole in an asteroid maybe
[26.04.2018 18:54:27] [HF]-Free.Radical: you'd be surprised what the Xenos can do with a rock
[26.04.2018 18:54:29] [HF]-Stoneheart: No idea. Anyway it doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
[26.04.2018 18:54:50] [HF]-Stoneheart: Don't much care what house you were born in or what the color of your skin is. Not big on the corporate police thing though.
[26.04.2018 18:55:04] [HF]-Stoneheart: I'm just saying, they must /hate/ you.
[26.04.2018 18:55:09] Megaera: She seems rather nice to me..
[26.04.2018 18:55:45] [HF]-Stoneheart: Wouldn't be the first time the right person was in the wrong place, or vice versa.
[26.04.2018 18:55:57] Megaera: Like you?
[26.04.2018 18:56:11] [HF]-Stoneheart: *He laughs softly* Excuse me?
[26.04.2018 18:56:23] Megaera: You heard me
[26.04.2018 18:56:42] Megaera: Else you would not laugh
[26.04.2018 18:57:01] [HF]-Stoneheart: No, yeah, I heard you alright. It's just that the extent our relationship has been you taking some pretty poor shots at me -
[26.04.2018 18:57:04] [HF]-Stoneheart: in the Tanner Belt.
[26.04.2018 18:57:12] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: Shut your mouth Megaera.
[26.04.2018 18:57:26] Megaera: Aww how cute
[26.04.2018 18:57:38] Megaera: Cop boy has a mouth
[26.04.2018 18:58:04] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: You're being shot by the station. I don't need to know more.
[26.04.2018 18:58:24] Megaera: It misses me too
[26.04.2018 18:58:47] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: You're just another trash who got his mind poisoned by some false propaganda.
[26.04.2018 18:58:52] LPI-Walter.Hawk[RO]: Like Legion.
[26.04.2018 18:59:02] Megaera: Anyway have fun slaughtering eachother
[26.04.2018 18:59:30] Megaera: I have a meeting elsewhere
[26.04.2018 18:59:39] [HF]-Stoneheart: I'm sure it's very important. Best of luck to you.
[26.04.2018 18:59:51] Megaera: Goodbye handsome
[26.04.2018 19:00:00] [HF]-Stoneheart: Riiight.
This ofcourse was a blattand lie. I actually realised I forgot to bring cloak batteries to bail out if things got too hot. However, when I got to the Kepler jump gate something hit me. There was a separatist among those Hellfire guys. If I could take a picture I could send it to the Unioners and maybe cause a beautiful diplomatic incident and spark another conflict in Bering. So I headed back. Sadly he was nowhere to be found.
Code:
[26.04.2018 19:19:37] Handsome.Bob: hey navy boys, is it still illegal to fly under influence? because right now i feel like drinking few cold one
[26.04.2018 19:19:39] 5th|Sarah.Evans: Eh, Mr Edison, you were in the First, isn't it ?
[26.04.2018 19:19:48] Jack.Edison: Yup, I left.
[26.04.2018 19:20:04] 5th|Sarah.Evans: How about you get hired to give the Legion one more showdown
[26.04.2018 19:20:11] Megaera: Where can I find those HF guys?
[26.04.2018 19:20:37] 5th|Sarah.Evans: You can expect 5 millions per confirmed kills.
[26.04.2018 19:20:39] 5th|LNS-Memphis: Mike: Went blind, miss Megara? Red ayour radar.
[26.04.2018 19:20:53] Megaera: Oh there
[26.04.2018 19:20:58] 5th|LNS-Memphis: Mike: Megaera even. Who the hell came up with that name anyway.
[26.04.2018 19:21:14] [HF]-Stoneheart: Someone isn't a history buff.
[26.04.2018 19:21:14] Handsome.Bob: its a deity of old sol i think
[26.04.2018 19:21:24] Megaera: Where did that separatist guy go?
[26.04.2018 19:21:30] Megaera: That Yann?
[26.04.2018 19:21:32] [HF]-Stoneheart: Bering, where they all go.
[26.04.2018 19:21:35] [HF]-Blackjack: He went home.
[26.04.2018 19:21:43] Megaera: I thought he was with you.
[26.04.2018 19:22:03] [HF]-Stoneheart: Athanas, Radical, slave to my wing. Centrifuge, move in and torch the Memphis.
[26.04.2018 19:22:13] [HF]-Stoneheart: West, Williams, stand by on overwatch.
[26.04.2018 19:22:18] Steve:Athanas: Acknowledged sir, forming on your wing.
[26.04.2018 19:22:25] [HF]-Blackjack: Will do.
[26.04.2018 19:22:27] 5th|LNS-Memphis: Mike: *Sighs* Guess we're starting then.
[26.04.2018 19:22:30] Handsome.Bob: *open a cold one* This going to be good... i mean the beer, not the fight
[26.04.2018 19:22:30] Centrifuge: Roger that, Engaging the hostile.
[26.04.2018 19:22:45] Megaera: So why was Yann here anyway... Seemed out of place
[26.04.2018 19:22:46] 5th|Sarah.Evans: Alright.. Heating up weapons then.
[26.04.2018 19:22:55] [HF]-Blackjack: I'm gonna say 'patrol'.
[26.04.2018 19:23:08] Centrifuge: Here we go eh?
[26.04.2018 19:23:09] 5th|LNS-Memphis: Mike: Let's see.. Hope all the time behind the table hasn't got to me.
[26.04.2018 19:23:16] Jack.Edison: *Sigh*
[26.04.2018 19:23:23] [HF]-Blackjack: Let's hope it has, buddy.
[26.04.2018 19:23:24] Jack.Edison: It will be "hell".
[26.04.2018 19:23:30] [HF]-Stoneheart: Radical, Athanas, weapons free.
[26.04.2018 19:23:35] [HF]-Free.Radical: copy that
[26.04.2018 19:23:39] 5th|Sarah.Evans: Let's go.
[26.04.2018 19:23:40] Steve:Athanas: Roger that, safeties off and opening fire.
[26.04.2018 19:24:07] 5th|R&D-Destroyer-III: Destroyer moving in... Tell me if supporting fire needed, Ms. Evans
[26.04.2018 19:24:21] 5th|R&D-Destroyer-III: Engaging
[26.04.2018 19:24:49] Handsome.Bob: too close for comfort and almost spilled my beer
[26.04.2018 19:24:58] Jack.Edison: Oh that is interesting..,
[26.04.2018 19:25:06] Megaera: I just came back to watch the carnage
[26.04.2018 19:25:14] Jack.Edison: Zoner..
[26.04.2018 19:25:21] [HF]-Blackjack: You're all heart Ms. Megaera.
It was then that an unknown vessel entered my line of sight and drew my attention away from the fight. I went to investigate it instead.
Code:
[26.04.2018 19:25:21] Jack.Edison: Interesting.. ship..
[26.04.2018 19:25:21] {AC}=Mentor: ?:What a beatiful fight we have here..
[26.04.2018 19:25:54] Jack.Edison: Zoner, you have really interesting ship, seriously.
[26.04.2018 19:25:55] IRG|Ingenuus: Snow: Zone-.. Well. Perhaps the IFF is still configured as such. Don't let us get in the way. We're merely passing through.
[26.04.2018 19:26:08] Jack.Edison: I never see that ship before.
[26.04.2018 19:26:25] Connor.Maverick: This is.... A big bunch of Legionnaires
[26.04.2018 19:26:36] [HF]-Stoneheart: Third contact, I'm moving in.
[26.04.2018 19:26:56] IRG|Ingenuus: I'd certainly hope not - The designs for the Feanturi aren't exactly public just yet. - Freelancers, mmh?
[26.04.2018 19:26:56] Connor.Maverick: Time to assist my mateys, guns hot!
[26.04.2018 19:27:16] Jack.Edison: Well, Liberty is garbage now.
[26.04.2018 19:27:46] Megaera: Interesting hardware you have...
It also seemed to have a device I never saw before. Interesting to note.
Code:
[26.04.2018 19:27:54] IRG|Ingenuus: Now that's a terrible thing to say. You can't generalize a house on just a few of the issues it has.
[26.04.2018 19:28:00] Megaera: I have not seen such before...
[26.04.2018 19:28:43] IRG|Ingenuus: Nngh.. Products of work, dear. We're a Development firm, you see.
[26.04.2018 19:28:52] Megaera: I can see that
[26.04.2018 19:29:13] IRG|Ingenuus: Non-combatants to a concerning extent in the eyes of some, but no matter. It's hardly my problem as an individual.
[26.04.2018 19:29:34] Jack.Edison: You can develop jump drive's? That would be cool.
[26.04.2018 19:29:51] Megaera: Oh they can slaughter eachother to their hearts content
[26.04.2018 19:29:58] IRG|Ingenuus: There most certainly is a difference between engineering and development. Jumpdrives already exist. Creating more is simple-
[26.04.2018 19:30:12] IRG|Ingenuus: now that the blueprints are widespread. Development generally constitutes creating new principals behind things. Which-
[26.04.2018 19:30:28] IRG|Ingenuus: is.. Not exactly easy when it comes to hyperspace. - I.. Agree. To each their own. If a house is going to yank conflict from -
[26.04.2018 19:30:48] IRG|Ingenuus: another, that's their perogerative. - After all, governmental supports are.. Not possible to make without creating enemies -
[26.04.2018 19:30:49] IRG|Ingenuus: along the way.
[26.04.2018 19:31:03] Death: 5th|Sarah.Evans was put out of action by [HF]-Stoneheart (Gun).
[26.04.2018 19:31:14] Megaera: Ah well they do provide entertainment
[26.04.2018 19:31:44] IRG|Ingenuus: Entertainment? That's a rather.. Dark way of looking at things. Although to some, perhaps.
[26.04.2018 19:31:56] Megaera: It is not dark
[26.04.2018 19:32:06] Megaera: It is their nature
[26.04.2018 19:32:07] IRG|Ingenuus: Ah.. Forgive me. My name is Rachel Snow - I don't mean to be rude. I'm ah.. Generally not used to being forced to sit in this-
[26.04.2018 19:32:23] Megaera: I was actually just passing through
[26.04.2018 19:32:31] Jack.Edison: I will get back to Norfolk, see how 5th's are dealing with Hellfire.
[26.04.2018 19:32:32] IRG|Ingenuus: seat. - Yes, you may be right. Human nature is not a kind one. It's territorial. Although watching the act generally plays on-
[26.04.2018 19:32:33] Megaera: But then this happened
[26.04.2018 19:32:34] IRG|Ingenuus: the question of ethics.
[26.04.2018 19:32:36] Death: 5th|R&D-Destroyer-III was put out of action by [HF]-Free.Radical (Gun).
[26.04.2018 19:32:59] Megaera: Human nature is a complex one
[26.04.2018 19:33:23] Megaera: Usually they weed out themselves
[26.04.2018 19:33:37] IRG|Ingenuus: You're right.. Well, what can you do. Leave it to natural selection? Let the warmongers do their thing, while those who -
[26.04.2018 19:33:40] Megaera: Maybe war is a mechanism to cull the herd
[26.04.2018 19:33:47] IRG|Ingenuus: seek a peaceful life simply.. Hide in a corner, protected by such?
[26.04.2018 19:34:19] Megaera: Or just sit back, watch and fuel the fire
[26.04.2018 19:34:38] Megaera: Sit comfortable and warm while the rest burns
[26.04.2018 19:34:59] IRG|Ingenuus: That certainly can't be good for the conscious.
[26.04.2018 19:35:08] Megaera: Maybe
[26.04.2018 19:35:08] IRG|Ingenuus: The conscious mind, that is.
[26.04.2018 19:35:44] Megaera: Anyway, I must say that ship of yours really begs envy
[26.04.2018 19:35:52] IRG|Ingenuus: I know many who used to share that sort of thinking have merely ended up dead prematurely. The fight between people with-
[26.04.2018 19:36:03] IRG|Ingenuus: different ethics has been, and I feel will always be.. Growing.
[26.04.2018 19:36:31] Megaera: I guess so
[26.04.2018 19:36:35] IRG|Ingenuus: Please - The Feanturi, frankly speaking is a pain in the ass. Generally I don't like being on the bridge, although it's some-
[26.04.2018 19:36:48] IRG|Ingenuus: stupid responsibility of my job. Bah.. No matter. It gets its job done rather well.
[26.04.2018 19:36:56] IRG|Ingenuus: Although personally speaking, I'd much rather be in a smaller ship such as yours.
[26.04.2018 19:36:57] Megaera: What is it for?
[26.04.2018 19:37:22] Megaera: Oh this ship is just a modified rheinland sichel
[26.04.2018 19:37:31] IRG|Ingenuus: *sighs* This is the Ingenuus. The flagship, and mobile headquarters for the entire group. Any of the core projects are-
[26.04.2018 19:37:44] IRG|Ingenuus: usually undertaken aboard here, instead of relying on a static emplacement such as a station or planet.
[26.04.2018 19:37:53] IRG|Ingenuus: Mmh.. Modified? In what way, if I may ask?
[26.04.2018 19:38:31] Megaera: Just a minor adjustment to the energy distribution and I use customised engines
[26.04.2018 19:38:58] Megaera: And I use hardware normally not present on such ships
[26.04.2018 19:39:17] Death: Overlord was put out of action by [HF]-Stoneheart (Mine).
[26.04.2018 19:39:31] IRG|Ingenuus: Engine work.. I miss those days. Putting together ships in frankenstine fashions always struck my fancy. Seeing another-
[26.04.2018 19:39:42] IRG|Ingenuus: enthusiast of sorts is.. Well.. I'm unsure what the right word for it is.
[26.04.2018 19:40:58] Megaera: Anyway I guess I should go
[26.04.2018 19:41:21] IRG|Ingenuus: *Huffs* I need a n-.. - Forgive me if I seem to lack professionalism. I really don't give a damn about semantics that
[26.04.2018 19:41:37] IRG|Ingenuus: companies generally try to give off in terms of presentation. - Careful out there, yeah? I'd hate to see that ship-
[26.04.2018 19:41:39] IRG|Ingenuus: getting damaged.
[26.04.2018 19:42:10] Megaera: I am not really the kind of person on who a sales pitch would work, frankly speaking.
[26.04.2018 19:42:46] IRG|Ingenuus: Fantastic. Because I sure as hell don't give them out. Like me, hate me, not my problem. If I've gotta act professional, it'll-
[26.04.2018 19:42:56] IRG|Ingenuus: be to some sort of client. Though beyond that.. Forced pleasentries doesn't match the enviroment of space.
[26.04.2018 19:43:28] Megaera: I am just jealous of the entensive research vessel. I am stuck to much less advanced facilities
[26.04.2018 19:44:04] IRG|Ingenuus: *chuckles dryly* If you've seen the bills which finance has to deal with for this thing, you'd quickly realize that it's not -
[26.04.2018 19:44:06] Megaera: That is if they do not try to shoot me on sight
[26.04.2018 19:44:21] IRG|Ingenuus: worth it unless you're more than an indvidiaul. There are plenty of better facilities. We own Ames a little past colorado, -
[26.04.2018 19:44:25] IRG|Ingenuus: that suffices for most.
[26.04.2018 19:44:50] Megaera: I know ames. I am friendly with the Ahb research group
[26.04.2018 19:44:55] IRG|Ingenuus: Shoot you on sight? - If you're drawing fire, you're doing something wrong. In my naive outlook, at least.
[26.04.2018 19:45:17] Megaera: Well I am not sure who would be a fault.
[26.04.2018 19:45:30] Megaera: the one shooting or the one being shot
[26.04.2018 19:45:31] IRG|Ingenuus: Aha, Abh Research has been looking rather interesting as of late.
[26.04.2018 19:46:04] Death: Centrifuge was put out of action by 5th|LNS-Memphis (Gun).
[26.04.2018 19:46:05] Death: 5th|LNS-Memphis was put out of action by Centrifuge (Gun).
[26.04.2018 19:46:34] IRG|Ingenuus: Perhaps it's situational. I hate situational. I didn't follow Law for a reason.
[26.04.2018 19:47:28] Megaera: Everyone has their own truth, and they act according to it
[26.04.2018 19:48:25] Megaera: I think the gunfire stopped over there
[26.04.2018 19:48:59] IRG|Ingenuus: The harsh ambiguity of human nature, mmh? - I don't mean to keep you. Perhaps I'll see your name around again. - Hopefully-
[26.04.2018 19:49:06] IRG|Ingenuus: when I don't have to deal with harassing navigation up here.
[26.04.2018 19:49:14] Megaera: Maybe we will
[26.04.2018 19:49:29] Megaera: I am going to see if anyone is still alive over there
