Save Yourself has been restored and tested. It works well.

I found a Bretonian Armed Forces pilot in Tau-31, and we had an extensive discussion. It's included for your perusal. Fascinating details, though.

[14.07.2018 01:58:18] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Huh. Don't often see a Bretonian out here.
[14.07.2018 01:58:22] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm. Evening, Raider.
[14.07.2018 01:58:39] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: *(the captain's distinct Bretonian accent is clear.)*
[14.07.2018 01:59:03] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Sundog, I'm with the Commission. Bad run in Leeds, need to make sure the ship's functional again.
[14.07.2018 01:59:26] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Those Valor phalanxes are... a problem.
[14.07.2018 01:59:38] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Need an escort back to..?
[14.07.2018 02:00:01] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: This was about two weeks ago, functionality is restored... more or less.
[14.07.2018 02:00:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We're out in Tau-44 now, though.
[14.07.2018 02:00:18] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: You know, Crayter, then Gallic, then Crayter again.
[14.07.2018 02:00:22] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: 44? Well.. That is something.
[14.07.2018 02:00:29] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Lot of fighting for a system that... doesn't really have much.
[14.07.2018 02:00:49] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: ... that is a fascinating choice of ship.
[14.07.2018 02:00:49] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: More than meets the eye. Already had that back then.
[14.07.2018 02:01:02] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Well, there *is* the uranium planet.
[14.07.2018 02:01:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I swear that has to just be a sensor anomaly though.
[14.07.2018 02:01:13] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It isn't.
[14.07.2018 02:01:21] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It can eat your hull under five minutes.
[14.07.2018 02:01:29] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Not doubting the radiation
[14.07.2018 02:01:31] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: If you're standing near its gravity well.
[14.07.2018 02:01:38] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: just the reported uranium content.
[14.07.2018 02:01:53] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: If the data actually matched the IMG reports on it, it would've collapsed on itself
[14.07.2018 02:02:05] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Yet, it stands.
[14.07.2018 02:02:19] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: So either physics is wrong, or the radiation broke their scanners.
[14.07.2018 02:02:31] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Fascinating rock to be honest. More fascinating is that the the 44th Battlegroup trained there.
[14.07.2018 02:02:49] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: That explains a lot of the crayterians back then.
[14.07.2018 02:02:56] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: ... you *can't* be serious.
[14.07.2018 02:03:11] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Oh I am.
[14.07.2018 02:03:18] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: *Lights up a cigar*
[14.07.2018 02:03:33] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Bloody hell.
[14.07.2018 02:03:36] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: So, Captain.. Sundog?
[14.07.2018 02:03:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Callsign. Commission thing, you understand.
[14.07.2018 02:04:13] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: *Exhales the smoke* No, not really.
[14.07.2018 02:04:25] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Octavarium Intelligence Commission. Does that explain it better?
[14.07.2018 02:04:45] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We generally try not to be too open about who exactly we are.
[14.07.2018 02:05:02] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Now that is a different thing to be aware of.
[14.07.2018 02:05:33] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Well, Captain Kaze Dagon, at your service.
[14.07.2018 02:05:37] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: How is Mr. Kane?
[14.07.2018 02:05:44] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Surprisingly, still alive.
[14.07.2018 02:06:07] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Our flight from Kansas wore on him, but he's doing better now.
[14.07.2018 02:06:07] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It tends to happen from time to time.
[14.07.2018 02:06:24] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Yes, your path.. isn't really clear.
[14.07.2018 02:06:38] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That seems to happen a lot with us.
[14.07.2018 02:07:13] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We made some deals iwth Crayter to get re-established, which... some of us have doubts about.
[14.07.2018 02:07:41] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: But, they have experience colonizing the Barrier, so it made sense. Hold on...
[14.07.2018 02:07:52] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Heads up, Gallic corvettes inbound. We should... relocate.
[14.07.2018 02:07:57] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: True that.
[14.07.2018 02:08:02] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I suggest 29.
[14.07.2018 02:08:12] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That would seem best.

[note: party jumped to Tau-31 at this point]

[14.07.2018 02:08:51] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Your.. organization does happen to have quite the history. Colorful to say the least.
[14.07.2018 02:09:47] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Well, I *can* safely confirm I wasn't with the Raiders.
[14.07.2018 02:10:37] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm. Well, the Raiders did evolved.
[14.07.2018 02:10:39] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I joined in the colonization of Kansas... which, well. Liberty was actively unhelpful, to no one's surprise really
[14.07.2018 02:11:08] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It is Liberty.
[14.07.2018 02:11:23] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: As I understand it, now the Legion controls the system. I imagine that's not the result they had hoped for.
[14.07.2018 02:11:34] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Kansas?
[14.07.2018 02:11:45] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Mhm. Well, the "Commonwealth", but...
[14.07.2018 02:11:54] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Actually I believe Liberty has assets within Kansas.
[14.07.2018 02:12:05] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Nothing permanent.
[14.07.2018 02:12:21] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Nothing ever is, Captain.
[14.07.2018 02:12:29] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: ... alright, that's fair.
[14.07.2018 02:12:35] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Nothing *intended* to be permanent.
[14.07.2018 02:13:17] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We've noticed Gallic incursions have gotten further than just Leeds recently
[14.07.2018 02:13:28] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Yes. New London has been breached.
[14.07.2018 02:13:54] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: We are preparing for the inevitable.
[14.07.2018 02:14:18] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We'll do what we can to help, but we aren't a large fleet.
[14.07.2018 02:14:56] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hitting the gaul supply lines is more than enough help, without risking yourselves in a head on engagement.
[14.07.2018 02:14:59] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: There are a lot of Octavarians that want a crack at the Royalists, especially after they attacked our colonists passing through
[14.07.2018 02:15:00] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Magellan.
[14.07.2018 02:15:09] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm.
[14.07.2018 02:15:26] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: But, tactically, head-on engagements are... not wise, as you said.
[14.07.2018 02:15:36] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: *Nods and puts out the cigar*
[14.07.2018 02:16:09] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Blockade running and interdiction... just like the old days, so I hear.
[14.07.2018 02:16:30] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Not all of what was in the old days.
[14.07.2018 02:16:42] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I still remember Petrucci running a slave convoy.
[14.07.2018 02:17:01] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Yes, that's some business that's been phased out.
[14.07.2018 02:17:09] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: had been as early as Kansas
[14.07.2018 02:17:19] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Prior even, I believe.
[14.07.2018 02:17:57] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: As I said, I wasn't with the Raiders, so I wouldn't really know. That would explain why LIberty eventually let us be, though.
[14.07.2018 02:18:22] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Well a new face and a new name does help.
[14.07.2018 02:18:40] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I suppose Gallia giving them something else to worry about likely had an impact as well.
[14.07.2018 02:19:18] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Not only. *She nods*
[14.07.2018 02:19:24] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Have they been actively assisting within Bretonia?
[14.07.2018 02:19:26] NO-F-Saronsen;: Isn't this a quiet little gathering.
[14.07.2018 02:19:33] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Evening.
[14.07.2018 02:19:37] NO-F-Saronsen;: Good day.
[14.07.2018 02:20:22] NO-F-Saronsen;: Pardon if I'm interrupting, ladies.
[14.07.2018 02:20:24] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I mean, we kept bouncing back and forth between 31 and 29 trying to find each other, so
[14.07.2018 02:20:31] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Not really, Mr...?
[14.07.2018 02:20:45] NO-F-Saronsen;: Saronsen. A pleasure, miss--?
[14.07.2018 02:21:15] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Dagon. Captain Kaze Dagon.
[14.07.2018 02:21:50] NO-F-Saronsen;: Just thought I'd pop by and see what the little blips out here were. Figured nothing dangerous with the lack of SOS.
[14.07.2018 02:22:17] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Well, 31 is being searched proactively by the Royals.
[14.07.2018 02:22:38] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: 29 is much more.. peaceful.
[14.07.2018 02:22:46] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Not as many invaders.
[14.07.2018 02:22:50] NO-F-Saronsen;: Just the locals.
[14.07.2018 02:23:19] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: And that is more than enough.
[14.07.2018 02:23:22] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: They're always a bit jumpy. Too much killing for profit does that.
[14.07.2018 02:23:27] NO-F-Saronsen;: And you are.. Sundog, right?
[14.07.2018 02:23:47] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Yes. Escher doesn't much care for these ships, so he has me handle them.
[14.07.2018 02:24:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: Fair enough. The Natio actually has rather tight electronic security.
[14.07.2018 02:24:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Not that I'm admitting to poking around.
[14.07.2018 02:24:25] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm.
[14.07.2018 02:24:26] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Truth be told, I'm not the greatest fan either. I cannot for the life of me figure out what Kishiro was doing when they
[14.07.2018 02:24:30] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: designed the weapon pylons here.
[14.07.2018 02:24:52] NO-F-Saronsen;: A grandoise appearance on a budget, I would say.
[14.07.2018 02:24:54] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It was designed for the civilian Kusarian turrets back in the day.
[14.07.2018 02:25:08] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: And to fit with the.. Kusarian theme?
[14.07.2018 02:25:10] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I suppose.
[14.07.2018 02:25:15] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I am no designer.
[14.07.2018 02:25:23] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I suppose. The Tokugawa does also have those inexplicable holes.
[14.07.2018 02:25:27] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I just used to shoot them.
[14.07.2018 02:25:40] NO-F-Saronsen;: I don't think I've ever actually had an encounter with Kusari.
[14.07.2018 02:25:52] NO-F-Saronsen;: My nightmares are still filled with Liberators.
[14.07.2018 02:25:58] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Libbies.
[14.07.2018 02:26:01] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Yes.
[14.07.2018 02:26:07] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Quite the nasty little buggers.
[14.07.2018 02:26:10] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: The navy's been rather quiet lately, which is strange. You'd think the upswing in Dragon activity would prompt a reaction.
[14.07.2018 02:26:29] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Better that they're not poking around the Taus, but it's concerning.
[14.07.2018 02:26:34] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: They are preparing for a war.
[14.07.2018 02:26:39] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Far from here.
[14.07.2018 02:26:43] NO-F-Saronsen;: As if they have the numbers for war anymore.
[14.07.2018 02:26:52] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: A war, far from... hm.
[14.07.2018 02:26:57] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That certainly narrows things down.
[14.07.2018 02:27:16] NO-F-Saronsen;: The easiest answer is simply on the opposite side of the sector.
[14.07.2018 02:27:21] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: For resources? They will make do, I believe. Greed.. does tend to forego logic.
[14.07.2018 02:27:32] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: If they're fighting Rheinland, it might actually be fair.
[14.07.2018 02:27:47] NO-F-Saronsen;: Corners will be cut. Rheinland doesn't cut corners in their military construction.
[14.07.2018 02:27:51] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Liberty broke Rheinland twice - first financially, then militarily.
[14.07.2018 02:28:04] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Years ago.
[14.07.2018 02:28:07] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: And Rheinland's already proven they don't know how to fight in the Crow.
[14.07.2018 02:28:17] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: It is not a land amenable to change, in my experience.
[14.07.2018 02:28:32] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: The Crow's arms don't reach what I am saying.
[14.07.2018 02:28:57] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Hm. We'll see. Perhaps we need to send a ship out that way to investigate.
[14.07.2018 02:29:07] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Do not send one alone.
[14.07.2018 02:29:10] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: No.
[14.07.2018 02:29:26] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: For far worse things inhabit that space than Rheinlanders and Kusarians.
[14.07.2018 02:29:39] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We... are already experienced with that.
[14.07.2018 02:29:41] NO-F-Saronsen;: I definitely volunteer then.
[14.07.2018 02:30:06] NO-F-Saronsen;: A shame I can't actually locate my old gunship.
[14.07.2018 02:30:08] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm. You would do well to contact the SIS. And ask.
[14.07.2018 02:30:18] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm certain it's still in Kansas.
[14.07.2018 02:30:19] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I cannot share anymore information.
[14.07.2018 02:30:54] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Could be worse, it could be in New York.
[14.07.2018 02:31:01] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'd say there's no need to be cryptic, but you're still better than the Order.
[14.07.2018 02:31:01] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: In the middle of all that scrap.
[14.07.2018 02:31:23] NO-F-Saronsen;: That seems like where the Lane Hackers found their new gunships, frankly.
[14.07.2018 02:31:26] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: As I said, contact the SIS. I am certain they will be willing to share.
[14.07.2018 02:31:28] NO-F-Saronsen;: Phallic piles of scrap they are.
[14.07.2018 02:31:36] NO-F-Saronsen;: It offends me.
[14.07.2018 02:31:38] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I can't really say.
[14.07.2018 02:31:47] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I haven't met Hackers in some time.
[14.07.2018 02:32:03] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: It's for the best.
[14.07.2018 02:32:05] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Insufferable twats.
[14.07.2018 02:32:25] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'd take offense but I never was part of this current.. generation.
[14.07.2018 02:32:39] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: They do sport themselves as the villans now, don't they?
[14.07.2018 02:32:46] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Oh. You were a Hacker?
[14.07.2018 02:32:53] NO-F-Saronsen;: For quite the long run.
[14.07.2018 02:33:03] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Moriarty's days?
[14.07.2018 02:33:05] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: They talk like what a Los Angeles director and his slack-jawed audience *think* intelligence sounds like.
[14.07.2018 02:33:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Mmmh, name rings a bell. I'm more familiar with Phate.
[14.07.2018 02:33:24] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Shot him down. Twice.
[14.07.2018 02:33:28] NO-F-Saronsen;: I wasn't part of that proper Lane Hacker inner circle.
[14.07.2018 02:33:37] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Quite the sporting fellow.
[14.07.2018 02:33:47] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Very professional in his work.
[14.07.2018 02:33:53] NO-F-Saronsen;: Me and him had a.. disagreement once. He wanted the lane I was situated at.
[14.07.2018 02:34:14] NO-F-Saronsen;: He argued with torpedos, I had a trio of razors.
[14.07.2018 02:34:41] NO-F-Saronsen;: I suppose he's either retired or dead now.
[14.07.2018 02:34:45] NO-F-Saronsen;: Haven't seen that name in years.
[14.07.2018 02:34:58] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Most likely dead, I would venture.
[14.07.2018 02:35:10] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: That line of work.. doesn't allow retirement, I would venture.
[14.07.2018 02:35:12] NO-F-Saronsen;: But then, I somehow made it out alive after personally offending Admiral Hale.
[14.07.2018 02:35:24] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Ah Hale.
[14.07.2018 02:35:35] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Now that is an intelligent man.
[14.07.2018 02:35:46] NO-F-Saronsen;: [muffled coughing]
[14.07.2018 02:36:01] NO-F-Saronsen;: I suppose compared to the regulars, yes.
[14.07.2018 02:36:15] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Never dealt with him myself. He was before my time in the Barrier.
[14.07.2018 02:36:24] NO-F-Saronsen;: Determined may be a better word.
[14.07.2018 02:36:28] Rules Tip: Pirates can issue only one cargo or monetary demand per encounter. Telling the trader to stop is not a demand, however, if they ignore the request, they can be shot down without issuing further demands.
[14.07.2018 02:36:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Bullheadedness seems to be a recurring trait in Liberty.
[14.07.2018 02:37:14] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: There was a story going around on Freeport 4, back before it was destroyed, about a previous LSF director personally chasing a
[14.07.2018 02:37:31] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Lane Hacker through a solar corona because he wanted to stop her that much.
[14.07.2018 02:37:53] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: He wasn't successful, of course, or the story wouldn't have made it back to the Freeport.
[14.07.2018 02:37:54] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Burned to a crisp?
[14.07.2018 02:38:10] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Apparently he broke off pursuit in time to save himself, and the Hacker got away.
[14.07.2018 02:38:32] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Stories change in the telling, though; who knows what actually happened
[14.07.2018 02:38:48] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm. LSF were always the brainless bloodhounds.
[14.07.2018 02:39:01] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: The main branch I say.
[14.07.2018 02:39:03] NO-F-Saronsen;: I do admit I miss my time in Liberty. Always something exciting happening.
[14.07.2018 02:39:22] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I have... concerns about that place.
[14.07.2018 02:39:31] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Were you around during the Merc Wars, Mr. Saronsen?
[14.07.2018 02:39:41] NO-F-Saronsen;: I was.. in the area, I suppose.
[14.07.2018 02:39:47] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: With the Raiders?
[14.07.2018 02:40:14] NO-F-Saronsen;: I don't think I was with the Raiders at that time.
[14.07.2018 02:40:31] NO-F-Saronsen;: I think my joining was just after they had formed a truce with Liberty.
[14.07.2018 02:40:49] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That sounds... about right.
[14.07.2018 02:41:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We didn't exactly keep detailed paperwork at the time, though, which we've been working on.
[14.07.2018 02:41:26] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm. Pitty. Is Warlady Zachary still around? Or died as she lived?
[14.07.2018 02:41:55] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: No one knows. There's a standing Commission alert for anything related to that case.
[14.07.2018 02:42:15] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We're reasonably sure her ship is gone, but by all accounts she wouldn't die that easily.
[14.07.2018 02:42:36] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm living proof that a ship blowing up on you isn't always immediate death.
[14.07.2018 02:42:47] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I do agree.
[14.07.2018 02:42:50] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Wait.
[14.07.2018 02:42:55] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: The Chaos is missing?
[14.07.2018 02:43:02] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: *Raises an eyebrow*
[14.07.2018 02:43:11] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Remember "Overlord" Spike?
[14.07.2018 02:43:50] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: The name does ring a bell.
[14.07.2018 02:43:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Things got messy once that shortsighted imbecile took power. It's used as something of an example in what passes for officer
[14.07.2018 02:43:52] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: training around here.
[14.07.2018 02:44:44] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: From there, tracking some of the assets that *should be* ours became difficult, and the Chaos remains unaccounted for.
[14.07.2018 02:45:01] NO-F-Saronsen;: Conveniently disappeared into the black market I assume.
[14.07.2018 02:45:03] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We suspect Spike stole it, in all honesty. We also suspect that he's dead.
[14.07.2018 02:45:19] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Pitty. That ship was quite the spectacle.
[14.07.2018 02:45:32] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Our fleet is... not what it once was.
[14.07.2018 02:45:51] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: We aen't like what we once were.
[14.07.2018 02:46:15] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Mm. For example, somehow the Raiders have become vaguely civilized.
[14.07.2018 02:46:19] NO-F-Saronsen;: That.. reminds me to push forwards a message I sent again.
[14.07.2018 02:46:43] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: So, no Petrucci, no Zachary..
[14.07.2018 02:46:58] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I don't truly know if I was the one that killed Fierceshot.
[14.07.2018 02:47:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Even pirates seek safety and security eventually.
[14.07.2018 02:47:26] NO-F-Saronsen;: So civilized, perhaps not.
[14.07.2018 02:47:29] NO-F-Saronsen;: Sane? Certainly.
[14.07.2018 02:47:31] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I have to ask, I wasn't around to meet him
[14.07.2018 02:47:38] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: did Fierceshot seriously wear a bird mask?
[14.07.2018 02:47:41] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Yes.
[14.07.2018 02:47:53] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: And was quite the pilot.
[14.07.2018 02:48:14] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I had to ram his ship with a cannonball in Tau-23 once.
[14.07.2018 02:48:40] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: A double edge sword, considering the asteroids.
[14.07.2018 02:49:09] NO-F-Saronsen;: That reminds me. Why aren't launchers universal mounts again?
[14.07.2018 02:49:22] NO-F-Saronsen;: Equipment designers really need a get-together.
[14.07.2018 02:49:46] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Reinforced mounting allows for better connections, supporting heavier munitions and more advanced tracking AI.
[14.07.2018 02:49:51] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: You're asking the wrong person, to be honest. I still weep for the disappearance of the heavier fighter torpedos.
[14.07.2018 02:50:08] NO-F-Saronsen;: I mourn for my sabre with six launchers.
[14.07.2018 02:50:16] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I spent some time helping Aquila convert some of their old mining ships for commerce interdiction.
[14.07.2018 02:50:36] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Mostly just for errands, but I picked up a few things.
[14.07.2018 02:50:56] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Hm.
[14.07.2018 02:51:02] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Well gentlemen.
[14.07.2018 02:51:11] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: I have to return to active duty.
[14.07.2018 02:51:22] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: And I need to do some sensor adjustments back at Freeport 6.
[14.07.2018 02:51:37] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: If you ever find yourselves in Newcastle, I should be around the Ark Royal.
[14.07.2018 02:51:37] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: A good discussion, though. Drop by Tau-44 sometime, if CR will let you.
[14.07.2018 02:51:42] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: *Smirks*
[14.07.2018 02:51:45] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: They will.
[14.07.2018 02:51:57] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: It is much their home as it is mine.
[14.07.2018 02:52:00] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: OIC ships aren't all that popular in House space, but I may be able to work something out.
[14.07.2018 02:52:03] NO-F-Saronsen;: Honestly, I still don't take 'no' for an answer.
[14.07.2018 02:52:08] NO-F-Saronsen;: So go where you please.
[14.07.2018 02:52:26] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Will do, Mr. Saronsen.
[14.07.2018 02:52:42] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: After all, people like us don't like barriers that much, do we.
[14.07.2018 02:52:58] NO-F-Saronsen;: Just another challenge to climb over.
[14.07.2018 02:52:59] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Barriers can be good hiding places.
[14.07.2018 02:53:06] NO-F-Saronsen;: Have a good night, ladies.
[14.07.2018 02:53:13] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: Good night. *Nods*
[14.07.2018 02:53:20] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: you know it's me 'cause I always jump on a terrible pun
[14.07.2018 02:53:20] BAF|Cpt.Kaze.Dagon: And safe winds.

Captain Dagon was seen flying a ship very similar to the Hunters' Hammerhead. I suspect this is that "Marlin" I've heard rumors of. Heavily armed, as one would expect from a Bretonian in the Taus.
