[11.12.2018 02:26:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: [awareness] New vessel in area. ::>
[11.12.2018 02:27:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hm.
[11.12.2018 02:28:04] NO-Harold.Kane: Oho!
[11.12.2018 02:28:10] NO-Harold.Kane: I knew I saw something.
[11.12.2018 02:28:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [stands up from meditation] - Yes, an expected-unexpected surprise.
[11.12.2018 02:28:45] NO-Harold.Kane: Good... morning? Evening? Whatever time it is.
[11.12.2018 02:28:47] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You said you wanted something? [they adjusted their robes]
[11.12.2018 02:28:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Morning - for us - at least.
[11.12.2018 02:29:18] NO-Harold.Kane: Yes, something of a state of affairs meeting. Specifically affairs in and around this region of space.
[11.12.2018 02:29:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We should move in that case then, just incase of eavesdroppers.
[11.12.2018 02:29:38] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed.
[11.12.2018 02:30:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We can make use of the Citadel, unless you don't have the I.F.F database updated.
[11.12.2018 02:30:31] NO-Harold.Kane: That'll work.
[11.12.2018 02:30:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So how goes it?
[11.12.2018 02:31:07] NO-Harold.Kane: It goes. Some days it's great, some days it's hell.
[11.12.2018 02:31:22] NO-Harold.Kane: Some days the Zoners ask if they can deposit ten thousand people on your station.
[11.12.2018 02:31:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh, the Omega-49 scenario...
[11.12.2018 02:31:50] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed. It's become something of a mess down there, apparently.
[11.12.2018 02:32:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [sighs]
[11.12.2018 02:32:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The Overwatch isn't helping either, they're trying to aggravate it.
[11.12.2018 02:32:31] NO-Harold.Kane: I had asked Holliday if he needed a more neutral arbiter but by the time I had made my call, things had apparently already
[11.12.2018 02:32:32] NO-Harold.Kane: become heated.
[11.12.2018 02:32:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hm. Oh well.
[11.12.2018 02:32:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: There is only so much that you can do.
[11.12.2018 02:32:54] NO-Harold.Kane: So the Overwatch was involved, eh?
[11.12.2018 02:33:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I assume that the blues - the aliens now - haven't visited you?
[11.12.2018 02:33:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They were present at the talks and insisted on hostility against Bretonia.
[11.12.2018 02:33:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Of course they're going to brown nose for the Corsairs.
[11.12.2018 02:33:29] NO-Harold.Kane: Not since the first and last time we saw a suspected infected ship in Tau-44.
[11.12.2018 02:33:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ah...
[11.12.2018 02:33:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Bio signatures in this system had rapidly increased, along with an attack on New London.
[11.12.2018 02:34:07] NO-Harold.Kane: Fascinating.
[11.12.2018 02:34:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ish'tar along with some infected subordinates.
[11.12.2018 02:34:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Now... about the thing you wanted to talk about.
[11.12.2018 02:34:37] NO-Harold.Kane: That's not usually my field of study, so it's always interesting to hear of the goings-on of the omnicidal.
[11.12.2018 02:35:02] NO-Harold.Kane: Yes... A little bird told me that things are complex in this region these days. A few little birds, these days.
[11.12.2018 02:35:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You're going to need to explain this one, complexity?
[11.12.2018 02:35:30] NO-Harold.Kane: Have you seen any oddness out of Vespucci lately?
[11.12.2018 02:35:46] NO-Harold.Kane: Both in the "Vespucci system" sense and "Vespucci's current inhabitants" sense.
[11.12.2018 02:35:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Er.
[11.12.2018 02:36:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Gaians, Hellfire... No, it seems the usual.
[11.12.2018 02:36:19] NO-Harold.Kane: Hmm. You're still on decent terms with Hellfire, though?
[11.12.2018 02:36:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 02:36:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They are still considered our allies.
[11.12.2018 02:36:52] NO-Harold.Kane: And, sorry to be inquisitive, but, Harmony? What are your thoughts on them?
[11.12.2018 02:37:01] NO-Harold.Kane: This will all circle back to a point, I assure you.
[11.12.2018 02:37:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I can't figure out what to think of them so far.
[11.12.2018 02:37:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If they're against Order, maybe I'd think a bit more highly of them, but I don't know.
[11.12.2018 02:37:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They're against the Gaians and Liberty, so...
[11.12.2018 02:37:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: maybe that's a good thing.
[11.12.2018 02:38:13] NO-Harold.Kane: Interesting. I've not had much to do with them myself either.
[11.12.2018 02:38:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Their organisation claims to be fighting the infested, particularly those within the ranks of the Navy.
[11.12.2018 02:38:36] NO-Harold.Kane: One little intelligence run through Bering, in which they seemed very hostile but stopped as soon as the Lane Hackers appeared.
[11.12.2018 02:38:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So far, they haven't got in our way.
[11.12.2018 02:39:38] NO-Harold.Kane: Interesting.
[11.12.2018 02:39:49] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm wondering about their overall motive. They seem to be against an infestation that they cannot prove.
[11.12.2018 02:40:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No, we know one of the major scenarios that occurred,
[11.12.2018 02:40:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: infectees, by the name of Rosalina Romanov and er....
[11.12.2018 02:40:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Trying to remember what that Order overwatch infectee was called... hmm.
[11.12.2018 02:40:58] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: ERI, check the database please.
[11.12.2018 02:41:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: Affirmed. ::>
[11.12.2018 02:41:04] NO-Harold.Kane: Do you know if they still have an officer in their ranks by the name of...
[11.12.2018 02:41:09] NO-Harold.Kane: Hrm, what was it...
[11.12.2018 02:41:12] NO-Harold.Kane: Linford?
[11.12.2018 02:41:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 02:41:21] NO-Harold.Kane: ...concerning.
[11.12.2018 02:41:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We spoke to her when she manned a war ship.
[11.12.2018 02:41:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That was the one in alpha that you said about.
[11.12.2018 02:41:33] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed.
[11.12.2018 02:41:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Infact, we... have a suspect in our database under Harmony's flag.
[11.12.2018 02:42:01] NO-Harold.Kane: See, we tried to warn the Legion.
[11.12.2018 02:42:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I think the other Order infectee that infiltrated and kidnapped a Liberty Navy Admiral was er...
[11.12.2018 02:42:15] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Milly Stone? No - that doesn't seem right.
[11.12.2018 02:42:19] NO-Harold.Kane: They didn't even acknowledge our comm.
[11.12.2018 02:42:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: "Jeremy Hunter's mother was kidnapped. "
[11.12.2018 02:42:44] NO-Harold.Kane: *cough*
[11.12.2018 02:42:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They didn't?
[11.12.2018 02:42:55] NO-Harold.Kane: Ack, tea is for drinking, not breathing.
[11.12.2018 02:43:02] NO-Harold.Kane: Jeremy Hunter. That's a name I haven't heard in ages.
[11.12.2018 02:43:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes, he's dead, supposedly.
[11.12.2018 02:43:24] NO-Harold.Kane: No. We provided them the same information and footage we provided to you, but heard not even a read-receipt.
[11.12.2018 02:43:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh.
[11.12.2018 02:43:59] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We have three suspects within Harmony.
[11.12.2018 02:44:00] NO-Harold.Kane: We have... tense history with the Legion.
[11.12.2018 02:44:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That you do.
[11.12.2018 02:44:16] NO-Harold.Kane: Long ago we were allies, alongside the Lane Hackers.
[11.12.2018 02:44:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I must ask of you, how do you feel about the Lane Hackers...?
[11.12.2018 02:44:24] NO-Harold.Kane: Well, that's the thing.
[11.12.2018 02:44:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Do you... really... trust them?
[11.12.2018 02:44:46] NO-Harold.Kane: We trust them a hell of a lot more than we trust the Legion.
[11.12.2018 02:45:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And are you sure that they're not trying to manipulate and drive a wedge between all the groups?
[11.12.2018 02:45:08] NO-Harold.Kane: I believe that Locklear may know about the suspected infection in Harmony.
[11.12.2018 02:45:13] NO-Harold.Kane: And is covering it up.
[11.12.2018 02:45:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I can find out, I have personal ties.
[11.12.2018 02:45:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'm sure I can entice him with wine or some sh--... t.
[11.12.2018 02:45:52] NO-Harold.Kane: I've known the Inner Circle for over a decade. There's two things that drive them.
[11.12.2018 02:46:11] NO-Harold.Kane: Making Libertonian corporations upset, and making money.
[11.12.2018 02:46:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'd like to think that they like to sit in a seat of power, a place of a high moral ground.
[11.12.2018 02:46:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So.
[11.12.2018 02:46:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Does your organisation deal with Nomadic influences then?
[11.12.2018 02:47:05] NO-Harold.Kane: We try *not* to.
[11.12.2018 02:47:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: This conversation is going to get personal, and it's going to remain between us.
[11.12.2018 02:47:16] NO-Harold.Kane: We aren't equipped or trained to handle with anything that's blue and glowing.
[11.12.2018 02:47:32] NO-Harold.Kane: If it is blue and glowing, we call someone who is trained to deal with it who we can trust.
[11.12.2018 02:47:48] NO-Harold.Kane: Which, since Golanski's head is still firmly attached to a warm body, immediately discounts the Order.
[11.12.2018 02:48:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I get some manner of disbelief when I recall seeing Order infected vessels.
[11.12.2018 02:48:45] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Regardless, have you heard the Overwatch spouting anything about Ingenuus?
[11.12.2018 02:49:19] NO-Harold.Kane: Not personally. Though I have had reports out of the Octavarium Intelligence Commission of Ingenuus vessels behaving oddly.
[11.12.2018 02:49:32] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Right, let's not worry about that then.
[11.12.2018 02:49:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You said about Harmony and these groups linking to a bigger picture - no - you said there was a new
[11.12.2018 02:49:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: guest in Vespucci?
[11.12.2018 02:50:17] NO-Harold.Kane: There was definitely a hint of that.
[11.12.2018 02:50:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hint of...?
[11.12.2018 02:50:39] NO-Harold.Kane: It is... foreseeable that in the future, a new player in the Vespucci system could be appearing.
[11.12.2018 02:50:48] NO-Harold.Kane: One that stands before you at this moment.
[11.12.2018 02:50:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: What? Gallia? Unioners?
[11.12.2018 02:50:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh, you?
[11.12.2018 02:50:58] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed.
[11.12.2018 02:50:58] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You've said that before.
[11.12.2018 02:51:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Stop trying to spoil my fun, I was hoping for something exciting and new.
[11.12.2018 02:51:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It gets boring up here, the connection to reality shows is awful.
[11.12.2018 02:51:24] NO-Harold.Kane: I haven't mentioned the backing power, though.
[11.12.2018 02:51:55] NO-Harold.Kane: The Crayterians have interest in the system as well.
[11.12.2018 02:51:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Maybe.
[11.12.2018 02:52:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So.
[11.12.2018 02:52:14] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm not sure what they want out of it.
[11.12.2018 02:52:20] NO-Harold.Kane: They've been tight lipped.
[11.12.2018 02:52:27] NO-Harold.Kane: An unusual thing, for them.
[11.12.2018 02:52:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: About Vespucci?
[11.12.2018 02:52:32] NO-Harold.Kane: Aye.
[11.12.2018 02:52:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Crayterians. Vespucci.
[11.12.2018 02:52:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [grumbles] oh for flying.
[11.12.2018 02:53:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'm afraid I will not allow... the Order's Overwatch to allow their proxies to do their hard work for them.
[11.12.2018 02:53:12] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: At least when it comes to the Crayterians.
[11.12.2018 02:53:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They still have yet to amend for backstabbing us, both of them.
[11.12.2018 02:53:29] NO-Harold.Kane: That's fine. We don't intend on letting them have anything more energetic than a sneeze.
[11.12.2018 02:53:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hellfire, Crayterians, they're all another form of a greedy government.
[11.12.2018 02:54:07] NO-Harold.Kane: The Commission sent an agent into Vespucci recently to do a stealth survey of the system and update our maps.
[11.12.2018 02:54:16] NO-Harold.Kane: Can you believe that in almost ten years, not a damn thing has changed?
[11.12.2018 02:54:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes, I can believe that.
[11.12.2018 02:54:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I've seen it years ago.
[11.12.2018 02:54:52] NO-Harold.Kane: The only thing that Crayter needs to know about the system is that there's a planet in it with water and air and tillable soil.
[11.12.2018 02:54:58] NO-Harold.Kane: And they'll be happy with that.
[11.12.2018 02:55:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And what of the Gaians then?
[11.12.2018 02:55:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's evident that they're not all rebelling for the preservation of nature.
[11.12.2018 02:55:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: There's a higher agenda.
[11.12.2018 02:55:35] NO-Harold.Kane: Atacama's forces seem primarily focused on the Legion.
[11.12.2018 02:55:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: As they do, I do not like the Gaians scuttling around with transports.
[11.12.2018 02:56:07] NO-Harold.Kane: Neither do I, frankly.
[11.12.2018 02:56:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Protecting unique natural sites is one thing that I agree with, but, murdering people?
[11.12.2018 02:56:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No.
[11.12.2018 02:56:22] NO-Harold.Kane: They're still connected to the cannibal empire of the Omicrons.
[11.12.2018 02:56:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 02:56:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That's majority of the reason why we're hostile.
[11.12.2018 02:56:35] NO-Harold.Kane: That's not something I can condone.
[11.12.2018 02:56:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And that they're arrogant as fuck.
[11.12.2018 02:56:57] NO-Harold.Kane: Their connection to the greater Gaian effort, though...
[11.12.2018 02:57:05] NO-Harold.Kane: I believe it to be very thin.
[11.12.2018 02:57:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We've had Gaians try to assault our station.
[11.12.2018 02:57:25] NO-Harold.Kane: If a revolution were to happen in Vespucci, I believe Atacama would suffer a schism.
[11.12.2018 02:57:26] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Gunboat class. Attempted to escape. Cloaking technology was inferior.
[11.12.2018 02:57:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Four fighter classes, or was it three? attempted to destroy our people right here.
[11.12.2018 02:57:56] NO-Harold.Kane: That's... frankly stupid of them.
[11.12.2018 02:58:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: For the most part, they seem to stay out of our way.
[11.12.2018 02:58:19] NO-Harold.Kane: We don't believe them to be a major strategic asset.
[11.12.2018 02:58:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Except when they harrassed our civilian arm and almost followed them all the way from Inverness to the Omicrons.
[11.12.2018 02:58:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They're nothing more than a nusiance.
[11.12.2018 02:58:48] NO-Harold.Kane: Ablative armour.
[11.12.2018 02:58:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I do not understand why the Legion is incapable of dealing with them.
[11.12.2018 02:59:01] NO-Harold.Kane: Because the Legion is busy pretending that they're a government.
[11.12.2018 02:59:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 02:59:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So.
[11.12.2018 02:59:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Out of all of this, what did you want from us?
[11.12.2018 02:59:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Our non involvement - our view - or?
[11.12.2018 02:59:35] NO-Harold.Kane: We wanted to know if you would actively oppose the system changing hands.
[11.12.2018 02:59:41] NO-Harold.Kane: To us.
[11.12.2018 02:59:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: To you?
[11.12.2018 02:59:50] NO-Harold.Kane: *nods*
[11.12.2018 02:59:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ohhh, let's hear your policies.
[11.12.2018 03:00:08] NO-Harold.Kane: No addictive substances, no slavery, no glowing blue crap.
[11.12.2018 03:00:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That is what their policy is too...
[11.12.2018 03:00:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So how will it be any different from the Legion should you take Vespucci?
[11.12.2018 03:00:41] NO-Harold.Kane: The Gaians will cease to be a thorn in your side.
[11.12.2018 03:00:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And inevitably, Liberty will want to forcefully take that system, how will you deal with that?
[11.12.2018 03:01:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Or even the Gauls?
[11.12.2018 03:01:16] A/)-Katar: Mm, seems I'm late. Good evening Mr. Kane.
[11.12.2018 03:01:33] NO-Harold.Kane: If Liberty were to decide they wanted the system -- good evening -- they would have a wall to smash through.
[11.12.2018 03:01:51] NO-Harold.Kane: A wall being held by parties not currently being decimated by the Gallic fleet.
[11.12.2018 03:02:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hm.
[11.12.2018 03:02:11] NO-Harold.Kane: If the Gauls breach the system, well... we have options.
[11.12.2018 03:02:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: What of the Order Overwatch?
[11.12.2018 03:02:29] NO-Harold.Kane: Fuck 'em.
[11.12.2018 03:02:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The Atum still resides here. Yet, I do not see them attacking the Nomads.
[11.12.2018 03:02:37] NO-Harold.Kane: Golanski's a genocidal maniac.
[11.12.2018 03:02:38] A/)-Katar: Heh.
[11.12.2018 03:02:46] A/)-Katar: Thats accurate.
[11.12.2018 03:02:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If the branch for Atum was sensible, we perhaps could have made a non aggression pact, but you know how
[11.12.2018 03:02:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: they are.
[11.12.2018 03:03:01] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm convinced he had someone present at the Gran Canaria talks so he could have a spotter on the ground.
[11.12.2018 03:03:07] NO-Harold.Kane: Since he failed to properly nuke the planet the first go round.
[11.12.2018 03:03:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: He did have Overwatch present there, yeah.
[11.12.2018 03:03:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Inquisitor Valkyrie.
[11.12.2018 03:03:28] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm not familiar with the name.
[11.12.2018 03:03:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We're in belief there was an undercover one too.
[11.12.2018 03:03:40] NO-Harold.Kane: Now I'm really sad I missed that party.
[11.12.2018 03:03:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It was really worthless.
[11.12.2018 03:03:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No fun chaos, nothing.
[11.12.2018 03:04:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'm a little disappointed we sent observers there, what a waste of my money.
[11.12.2018 03:04:56] NO-Harold.Kane: Heh. I'm not surprised, though. That meeting was doomed from the start.
[11.12.2018 03:04:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So. How do you think you're going to stop Gaians?
[11.12.2018 03:05:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They're just going to switch targets from Legion to us.
[11.12.2018 03:05:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Despite our quite nature friendly policies.
[11.12.2018 03:05:21] NO-Harold.Kane: A full war in Vespucci? I think the Gaians aren't going to make it out of that one.
[11.12.2018 03:05:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh but they will, they're just like cockroaches.
[11.12.2018 03:06:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: There's the Manchester branch being close, and they have their Overwatch friends in this system.
[11.12.2018 03:06:06] NO-Harold.Kane: If they do persist... we are not opposed to taking up arms against them.
[11.12.2018 03:06:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If the Order continue to fail to persist against the Nomads in this region, we will have to take action.
[11.12.2018 03:06:42] NO-Harold.Kane: We are also very nature-friendly -- our interests in planetary colonization died with the first Natio -- but the Gaians are
[11.12.2018 03:06:59] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I... we have overheard Gaians having 'friendly-friendly' talks to Crayterians in Coronado.
[11.12.2018 03:07:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The Order. The Gaians. The Crayterians. They're all bloody friends.
[11.12.2018 03:07:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: This is our greatest concern, there's no way in hell they're not going to take this chance to try and wipe
[11.12.2018 03:07:20] NO-Harold.Kane: --Corsairs to be of use to us in the long term
[11.12.2018 03:07:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: their enemies off the map.
[11.12.2018 03:07:52] NO-Harold.Kane: Hrm. This is interesting news indeed.
[11.12.2018 03:08:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You taking control of Vespucci may put it in difficult times for us too.
[11.12.2018 03:08:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: May.
[11.12.2018 03:08:12] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: But I can foresee it happening.
[11.12.2018 03:08:26] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If the Order are not doing their jobs, they need to leave, immediately.
[11.12.2018 03:08:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Infection rates are getting higher.
[11.12.2018 03:08:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Assaults on public lines increased by at least 100%
[11.12.2018 03:09:03] NO-Harold.Kane: A potentially infected Legion and Harmony alliance being bolstered by inactive Order assets...
[11.12.2018 03:09:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We can't focus on securing this system if they're getting in the way.
[11.12.2018 03:09:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:09:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh shit. I just realised...
[11.12.2018 03:09:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We caught the SIS talking with Order Overwatch in Drake...
[11.12.2018 03:09:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And they just built a station in this system.
[11.12.2018 03:09:32] NO-Harold.Kane: This is the quintessential charlie foxtrot.
[11.12.2018 03:09:38] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I can pull the file on that encounter.
[11.12.2018 03:09:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Shit.
[11.12.2018 03:09:50] NO-Harold.Kane: And Bretonia is grabbing the Omegas by the balls.
[11.12.2018 03:09:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Okay, well, this is worse than I initially thought.
[11.12.2018 03:10:08] NO-Harold.Kane: They'll want to play a game of grab-ass with the Taus again.
[11.12.2018 03:10:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Bretonia getting cocky and wanting to grab more turf, and we have Golly's underdogs here.
[11.12.2018 03:10:32] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So, that's Crayter, Gaians, SIS, and the Order to deal with. Maybe even the Lane Hackers might turn on this.
[11.12.2018 03:10:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Bretonia could even invade to evict population from the region to safehouse their civilians.
[11.12.2018 03:11:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh damn, this is so bad...
[11.12.2018 03:11:30] NO-Harold.Kane: We need a way to win this.
[11.12.2018 03:11:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes, we really do. War will cause another war.
[11.12.2018 03:11:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: we have yet to test if we can properly disable anomalies, hmm...
[11.12.2018 03:12:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Jumphole, disruptions, hell, we can even open up jumpholes forcefully.
[11.12.2018 03:12:17] NO-Harold.Kane: There's a nine sided clusterfuck about to emerge centered on this system and its neighbours.
[11.12.2018 03:12:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Bretonia allowed us to test it in New London. You can thank us for that.
[11.12.2018 03:12:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: For the er - increased Cultist presence and the Nomads. Whoops. But new materials found and science progressed.
[11.12.2018 03:13:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [sighs heavily under their mask]
[11.12.2018 03:13:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ok.
[11.12.2018 03:13:09] NO-Harold.Kane: The Cultist tech is some fascinating stuff.
[11.12.2018 03:13:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Your actions will really need some background research.
[11.12.2018 03:13:39] NO-Harold.Kane: We're weighing our strategic options.
[11.12.2018 03:13:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You said you heard Crayter being interested in grabbing Vespucci, what if Liberty and Crayter both force their way in?
[11.12.2018 03:13:51] NO-Harold.Kane: That'll be a fun fight to watch.
[11.12.2018 03:14:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No, they're... working together, supposedly.
[11.12.2018 03:14:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [puts their feet up on the desk, leaning back]
[11.12.2018 03:14:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's possible that their egos will get in the way, yeah.
[11.12.2018 03:14:36] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Territory struggles always end up that way. Liberty doesn't like sharing.
[11.12.2018 03:14:48] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: The same goes for their offshoot Commonwealth. They don't like to share, either.
[11.12.2018 03:14:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: But they could possibly split it.
[11.12.2018 03:14:55] NO-Harold.Kane: Liberty and Crayter almost came to blows over a transport.
[11.12.2018 03:15:02] NO-Harold.Kane: A planet?
[11.12.2018 03:15:04] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: That's a regular thing.
[11.12.2018 03:15:27] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Back when I was still in the service, we regularly redirected Crayter warships from California.
[11.12.2018 03:15:30] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Some unwillingly.
[11.12.2018 03:15:37] NO-Harold.Kane: Crayter will suicide bomb the Liberty Navy fleet to hold a planet.
[11.12.2018 03:16:03] NO-Harold.Kane: Thus dealing with multiple sides of that charlie foxtrot in a single go.
[11.12.2018 03:16:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [muttering to themselves] Think, think, think, connections... Nomads, Gaians... uhm...
[11.12.2018 03:16:17] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Are the Unioners going to get involved?
[11.12.2018 03:16:31] NO-Harold.Kane: Not in Vespucci.
[11.12.2018 03:16:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They have been seen as far as Texas, or even Kansas so say some Legionnaires.
[11.12.2018 03:16:40] NO-Harold.Kane: That's the ticket.
[11.12.2018 03:17:12] NO-Harold.Kane: It turns out if you tell the Unioners, "finders keepers is a fun rule to play by", they'll sign up to do just about anything.
[11.12.2018 03:17:27] NO-Harold.Kane: Now... whether or not they'll actually make it that far.
[11.12.2018 03:17:41] NO-Harold.Kane: They're being hammered left and right in Bering.
[11.12.2018 03:17:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: What of the Liberty Rogues?
[11.12.2018 03:17:56] NO-Harold.Kane: I've got nothing on the Rogues.
[11.12.2018 03:18:05] NO-Harold.Kane: I don't usually deal with street thugs.
[11.12.2018 03:18:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh yeah, hey, Bennett, do you remember when that Alexis Hunter got kidnapped?
[11.12.2018 03:18:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Do you remember what infected Romanov fell for? Something Stone?
[11.12.2018 03:18:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That Order Overwatch infectee.
[11.12.2018 03:18:35] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Hm.
[11.12.2018 03:18:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: MILLY STONE.
[11.12.2018 03:18:39] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Aelita?
[11.12.2018 03:18:41] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It was.
[11.12.2018 03:18:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Or that. Both.
[11.12.2018 03:18:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Something stupid.
[11.12.2018 03:18:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Whatever. Milly Stone. Just saw the screen.
[11.12.2018 03:19:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Thanks for reading it out ERI [sarcastically]
[11.12.2018 03:19:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: <:: [You're] welcome. ::>
[11.12.2018 03:19:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: ...you better not developing a sense of humor, you've been watching too many Humans.
[11.12.2018 03:19:30] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I wouldn't know the details on all those cases. I specialize in fleet strategies. That's yours and Leviathan's things.
[11.12.2018 03:19:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ah-ah-ah!
[11.12.2018 03:19:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Fleet strategies! Yes boy!
[11.12.2018 03:19:57] NO-Harold.Kane: We are all strategists on this blessed day.
[11.12.2018 03:20:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Tomorrow, Order's underdogs invaded, what would you do?
[11.12.2018 03:20:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Crayter, SIS doing covert, Gaians doing skirmishes.
[11.12.2018 03:20:50] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: You're talking about running scenarios for invasions. We do that regularly for drill work.
[11.12.2018 03:21:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes, but you have to factor in that Hellfire may be useless here.
[11.12.2018 03:21:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We'd be up against an impossible force.
[11.12.2018 03:21:17] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: That's part of every strategy we have.
[11.12.2018 03:21:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Really? I don't remember.
[11.12.2018 03:21:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hmmm, short term memory loss...
[11.12.2018 03:21:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Getting worse.
[11.12.2018 03:21:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: We've spent enough time on our own, fighting with our backs to the wall to know not to put our faith into others.
[11.12.2018 03:22:27] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: If it comes down to impossible odds, that's why we have an arsenal of weaponry at our disposal.
[11.12.2018 03:22:33] NO-Harold.Kane: ...Sorry to interrupt, but you mentioned you've done some weird jump anomaly things before, yes?
[11.12.2018 03:22:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Or experiments.
[11.12.2018 03:22:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 03:22:41] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We can open up jumpholes, why?
[11.12.2018 03:22:47] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: although sketchy.
[11.12.2018 03:22:50] NO-Harold.Kane: Have you ever ripped a jump hole open large enough to fit a station through it?
[11.12.2018 03:23:11] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Why not just disassemble and relocate?
[11.12.2018 03:23:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No, we're not really minted to test that out, but we've thought about it.
[11.12.2018 03:23:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Trust me, if we had the resources to experiment at will, we would.
[11.12.2018 03:23:37] NO-Harold.Kane: Because we aren't quite sure if we can put it back together again.
[11.12.2018 03:23:56] NO-Harold.Kane: Also, it houses most of our population.
[11.12.2018 03:24:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Although the Anomaly we made was large enough to fit Ish'tars and multiple war ships through soo...
[11.12.2018 03:24:23] NO-Harold.Kane: Turns out those cultists made their shit bigger on the inside than it looks.
[11.12.2018 03:24:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I wouldn't know, but hyperspatial technology is another thing we have access to.
[11.12.2018 03:24:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Encase an object around with a shield, place devices to triangulate the matrix,
[11.12.2018 03:24:58] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: effectively like jumping another ship.
[11.12.2018 03:25:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You'd need another ship to sustain the power requirements though.
[11.12.2018 03:25:31] NO-Harold.Kane: Make sure the gravitics are working double time to make sure that no one gets hyperspace-sick...
[11.12.2018 03:25:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Two jumping vessels working on the same anomaly.
[11.12.2018 03:25:45] NO-Harold.Kane: It'd take a lot of power, yeah.
[11.12.2018 03:25:58] NO-Harold.Kane: Food for thought.
[11.12.2018 03:26:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We have the theorhetical power to produce masses amounts of energy.
[11.12.2018 03:26:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You know, that thing we do, alien research?
[11.12.2018 03:26:13] NO-Harold.Kane: Yeah.
[11.12.2018 03:26:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: but I'm not sure if you'd really want to reside in Vespucci from Tau-44.
[11.12.2018 03:26:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Do you think Crayter will turn on you?
[11.12.2018 03:26:41] NO-Harold.Kane: We don't believe so.
[11.12.2018 03:26:47] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Hah/
[11.12.2018 03:26:52] NO-Harold.Kane: But we like to have options.
[11.12.2018 03:27:06] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Word to the wise: Don't trust them. They've stabbed us in the back in the past and are quick to change their minds.
[11.12.2018 03:27:37] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: The first opportunity they'll get to take advantage, they will.
[11.12.2018 03:27:59] NO-Harold.Kane: Aye. We aren't quite sure if they're letting us stay in the system out of the goodness of their hearts, or if they're hoping we
[11.12.2018 03:28:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: They're most likely using you against the Gallic tide.
[11.12.2018 03:28:16] NO-Harold.Kane: will be a good pile of ablative meat in case the Baguette Brigade decides they want a second shot at taking the system.
[11.12.2018 03:28:34] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: They used us as a thin line to shield themselves from the Nomads in Coronado.
[11.12.2018 03:28:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Mmhmm.
[11.12.2018 03:28:47] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Then shot us when we weren't needed anymore.
[11.12.2018 03:28:55] NO-Harold.Kane: They're not the smart--
[11.12.2018 03:28:56] NO-Harold.Kane: Oh!
[11.12.2018 03:28:58] NO-Harold.Kane: That reminds me.
[11.12.2018 03:29:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh yeah, don't forget that Golanski himself came down to do it too.
[11.12.2018 03:29:05] NO-Harold.Kane: Did you know we have one of their cruisers?
[11.12.2018 03:29:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:29:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: ...can we scan it? [cheekily]
[11.12.2018 03:29:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Okay, maybe the museum collection can be finished later.
[11.12.2018 03:29:44] NO-Harold.Kane: Dinner and a movie first.
[11.12.2018 03:30:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Sounds like a good deal. Wait, that would depend on the movie.
[11.12.2018 03:30:15] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Although, mind you, Helios.
[11.12.2018 03:30:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We recently found that in a wreckage.
[11.12.2018 03:30:37] NO-Harold.Kane: We could watch the combat footage of that. I'm sure that'd be an entertaining couple hours.
[11.12.2018 03:31:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It was found in Tau-29,
[11.12.2018 03:31:10] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: did it try to fight the Gauls?
[11.12.2018 03:31:15] NO-Harold.Kane: Helios?
[11.12.2018 03:31:20] NO-Harold.Kane: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:31:21] NO-Harold.Kane: Oh no.
[11.12.2018 03:31:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes. Wreckage was found behind Baffin jumphole.
[11.12.2018 03:31:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No?
[11.12.2018 03:31:26] NO-Harold.Kane: That wasn't the Gauls.
[11.12.2018 03:31:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: What?
[11.12.2018 03:31:29] NO-Harold.Kane: That was Malta.
[11.12.2018 03:31:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Kusari?
[11.12.2018 03:31:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:31:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Wait - how did they... without Gallia or Kusari - what?
[11.12.2018 03:31:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Interesting.
[11.12.2018 03:31:54] NO-Harold.Kane: Element of surprise, I think.
[11.12.2018 03:32:00] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Space is dangerous.
[11.12.2018 03:32:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [sarcastically] thank you for the enlightening fact of the day.
[11.12.2018 03:32:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *ahem*
[11.12.2018 03:32:32] NO-Harold.Kane: I don't know the exact details, but the Crayterians told us that the Basilica's flotilla took out the Helios a few weeks ago.
[11.12.2018 03:32:39] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:33:21] NO-Harold.Kane: They had given us free reign to use the carrier as a rest stop.
[11.12.2018 03:33:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Anything else that we should know about the Vespucci situation?
[11.12.2018 03:34:29] NO-Harold.Kane: I don't think so. I'm... thinking the Legion might have just firewalled out our comms entirely.
[11.12.2018 03:34:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Harmony possibly being contaminated, Legion being corrupt, Crayter wanting to get in on this,
[11.12.2018 03:34:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: hmmm.
[11.12.2018 03:34:38] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm not even sure if they know we're at war.
[11.12.2018 03:35:03] NO-Harold.Kane: The Bretonians concern me.
[11.12.2018 03:35:12] NO-Harold.Kane: They have an installation in this system, you say?
[11.12.2018 03:35:19] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: With how they arrogantly plant a station in this system without consulting us, yes.
[11.12.2018 03:35:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And they have the charm to say the purpose of the station is classified.
[11.12.2018 03:35:33] NO-Harold.Kane: Spooks, then.
[11.12.2018 03:35:37] NO-Harold.Kane: Fascinating.
[11.12.2018 03:35:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes. SIS.
[11.12.2018 03:35:47] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: As I said before, I saw them talking with the Overwatch.
[11.12.2018 03:35:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Immediately will not trust them.
[11.12.2018 03:36:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Infact, when I undocked from Birmingham, I heard a Gaian trying to ask about me - or well us -
[11.12.2018 03:36:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: obviously they cut the conversation off when they saw me.
[11.12.2018 03:36:30] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So. SIS. Bad people. Annoying.
[11.12.2018 03:36:31] NO-Harold.Kane: Would you be opposed to us stationing an agent out of Invergordon to ascertain some information about the SIS operations here?
[11.12.2018 03:36:57] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm curious myself as to what Bretonia wants here.
[11.12.2018 03:36:58] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You can do whatever you want here if it isn't to A) Cause harm, mainly to us.
[11.12.2018 03:37:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: B) to let another party gain control of this system
[11.12.2018 03:37:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: or C) let the nomads get more influence.
[11.12.2018 03:37:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Otherwise, by all means, do as you will.
[11.12.2018 03:37:22] NO-Harold.Kane: As far as we're concerned, Inverness is yours.
[11.12.2018 03:37:32] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh, D) Getting in our way.
[11.12.2018 03:37:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That's kind of important. We don't like being looked at.
[11.12.2018 03:37:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Yeah that last one is a big deal.
[11.12.2018 03:38:00] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Usually we just shoot people that come out this far.
[11.12.2018 03:38:05] NO-Harold.Kane: And if we see anything blue and angry-looking, we'll give you a ring.
[11.12.2018 03:38:43] NO-Harold.Kane: I mean, hm.
[11.12.2018 03:38:53] NO-Harold.Kane: We're in a strange position with Bretonia.
[11.12.2018 03:39:05] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Bretonia itself is in a strange position.
[11.12.2018 03:39:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'd like to say I wish I could do more for my motherland, my heritage but...
[11.12.2018 03:39:25] NO-Harold.Kane: If we weren't very tactically-minded, we could probably actually just *ask* them what they're doing in Inverness.
[11.12.2018 03:39:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: they're really going to dig their own grave.
[11.12.2018 03:39:33] NO-Harold.Kane: And they'd probably just lay the cards on the table.
[11.12.2018 03:39:40] NO-Harold.Kane: But where's the fun in that?
[11.12.2018 03:39:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Well, we tried asking, so you know that answer.
[11.12.2018 03:40:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: We could just sit outside and stake the place out.
[11.12.2018 03:40:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I...
[11.12.2018 03:40:15] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Watch traffic, see who comes and goes.
[11.12.2018 03:40:23] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I saw them escort a Gallic Royal Navy pilot to the station.
[11.12.2018 03:40:25] NO-Harold.Kane: Ah, but do you have the neural net address of a personal an SIS liaison?
[11.12.2018 03:40:30] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Interrogation possibly.
[11.12.2018 03:40:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Highly likely, they were on secure comms.
[11.12.2018 03:41:35] NO-Harold.Kane: We'll see if we can figure out what Bretonia's angle is.
[11.12.2018 03:41:38] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: As for an inside contact, I prefer doing things the old fashioned way.
[11.12.2018 03:41:53] NO-Harold.Kane: We'll let you know what we figure out.
[11.12.2018 03:42:04] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Show them my gun, give them an ultumatum, shoot them if they decline.
[11.12.2018 03:42:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So...
[11.12.2018 03:42:56] NO-Harold.Kane: So.
[11.12.2018 03:43:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You sure that this is everything concerning this mess?
[11.12.2018 03:43:05] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I feel like there's something missing.
[11.12.2018 03:43:09] NO-Harold.Kane: Other than the fact we haven't decided on a movie.
[11.12.2018 03:43:30] NO-Harold.Kane: Oh.
[11.12.2018 03:43:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The question is, how many is going to be at this dinner party?
[11.12.2018 03:43:34] NO-Harold.Kane: Oh, right.
[11.12.2018 03:43:41] NO-Harold.Kane: We have a defector.
[11.12.2018 03:43:46] NO-Harold.Kane: Specifically, we have acquired one.
[11.12.2018 03:43:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Defector? From?
[11.12.2018 03:43:50] NO-Harold.Kane: The Legion.
[11.12.2018 03:43:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Legion? Ah.
[11.12.2018 03:44:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Curious, why didn't they go to the Gaians?
[11.12.2018 03:44:07] NO-Harold.Kane: For obvious reasons, his clearances are... curtailed.
[11.12.2018 03:44:38] NO-Harold.Kane: Our synthetic intelligences have been analyzing his behaviour and actions over the past few weeks and his psychological
[11.12.2018 03:44:54] NO-Harold.Kane: state indicates that he likely isn't a spy.
[11.12.2018 03:45:15] NO-Harold.Kane: All the same, we're playing it cautiously.
[11.12.2018 03:46:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Interesting.
[11.12.2018 03:46:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: but I suppose it's little concern.
[11.12.2018 03:46:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Now, I hope you aren't planning to do anything with Helios.
[11.12.2018 03:46:44] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed. More of a side note than anything else.
[11.12.2018 03:47:13] NO-Harold.Kane: We were going to send the Crayterians a "sorry for your loss" card.
[11.12.2018 03:47:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh, I was referring to that fresh specimen of a corpse floating around.
[11.12.2018 03:47:36] NO-Harold.Kane: I take it you want a sniff.
[11.12.2018 03:47:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We're kind of into looking into their architexture.
[11.12.2018 03:47:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yep.
[11.12.2018 03:47:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Big old whiff.
[11.12.2018 03:48:03] NO-Harold.Kane: By all means.
[11.12.2018 03:48:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Ah. Yes.
[11.12.2018 03:48:53] NO-Harold.Kane: Maybe we'll bring OCS Unforgiven, our Thanatos-class cruiser, down to visit one of these days.
[11.12.2018 03:48:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The gate in Coronado.
[11.12.2018 03:49:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I'd be wary of that, the Bretonians still think that they own this system.
[11.12.2018 03:49:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If they assault you, well.
[11.12.2018 03:49:24] NO-Harold.Kane: You get much better data out of a ship with the keys in the ignition than a husk.
[11.12.2018 03:49:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You can say you're crossing the turf to our land.
[11.12.2018 03:49:43] NO-Harold.Kane: If the Bretonians decide to spark a war over a cruiser, well...
[11.12.2018 03:49:57] NO-Harold.Kane: That's their loss.
[11.12.2018 03:50:02] NO-Harold.Kane: In more senses than one.
[11.12.2018 03:50:03] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Quite.
[11.12.2018 03:50:37] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: And, well, it'd be quite wasteful to let it float there.
[11.12.2018 03:50:45] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I wouldn't want Gallia or Kusari repurposing the remains.
[11.12.2018 03:51:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: There's some high quality material in there that we're going to snag if we can.
[11.12.2018 03:51:16] NO-Harold.Kane: Out of curiosity, whereabouts *is* this spooky scary space station of the Grand Ol' United Empire-Kingdom of Bretonia's?
[11.12.2018 03:51:28] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: The moon of Forres.
[11.12.2018 03:51:28] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You know the Drake hole location - by that planet?
[11.12.2018 03:51:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's in the old place. The anomaly moved.
[11.12.2018 03:51:40] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Cromarty.
[11.12.2018 03:51:45] NO-Harold.Kane: Well, then.
[11.12.2018 03:51:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Imagine our surprise when we thought we were going for a jumphole.
[11.12.2018 03:52:09] NO-Harold.Kane: Much as I hate Ageira, some days I start to think that their propaganda about jump holes being dangerous isn't all that far off
[11.12.2018 03:52:26] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We could suddenly be cut off one day.
[11.12.2018 03:52:36] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I wonder what would happen if a jumphole shifted inside of a station.
[11.12.2018 03:52:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: No food, no oxygen...
[11.12.2018 03:52:46] NO-Harold.Kane: You wake up one morning and find that the next system over is now a two year journey if you redline your cruise engines.
[11.12.2018 03:52:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh, it'd probably blow up and end up in wrecks.
[11.12.2018 03:52:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Well.
[11.12.2018 03:53:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Cruise technology is faster, so there's that.
[11.12.2018 03:53:15] NO-Harold.Kane: Been there, done that, wrote the book, lost a few thousand people in the process.
[11.12.2018 03:53:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Fortunately for us, our experimental pieces allow us to go /way/ further without fuel at all.
[11.12.2018 03:53:59] NO-Harold.Kane: Once you exit a system's heliosphere, you can remove some of the gravitic field limiters on cruise engines and increase your
[11.12.2018 03:54:02] NO-Harold.Kane: top speed.
[11.12.2018 03:54:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Or optionally, we can open jumpholes or employ jump technology.
[11.12.2018 03:54:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We have the coordinates.
[11.12.2018 03:54:27] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So we're quite well prepared, I'd think.
[11.12.2018 03:54:29] NO-Harold.Kane: I mean, that's the best way to do it, yes.
[11.12.2018 03:54:42] NO-Harold.Kane: We were not quite that fortunate.
[11.12.2018 03:54:49] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Or the technology to pinpoint coordinates based on a beacon.
[11.12.2018 03:54:57] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Just send one scout in, deploy a fleet.
[11.12.2018 03:55:08] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Be anywhere instantly.
[11.12.2018 03:55:13] NO-Harold.Kane: It's impressive technology.
[11.12.2018 03:55:28] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Expensive to maintain and use though.
[11.12.2018 03:55:42] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Mmm.
[11.12.2018 03:55:46] NO-Harold.Kane: Indeed.
[11.12.2018 03:55:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: We'd have to evacuate Kansas though in this circumstance, maybe.
[11.12.2018 03:56:11] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: No, we wouldn't.
[11.12.2018 03:56:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: "Maybe. "
[11.12.2018 03:56:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's split.
[11.12.2018 03:56:45] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Ataraxia was cleaned out a long time ago. All that's there is just supply and military personnel in a bunker that can-
[11.12.2018 03:56:50] A/)-ACV-Andraste: submerge if the water gets too deep.
[11.12.2018 03:56:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: If the anomalies in the Independent -
[11.12.2018 03:56:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: ...no?
[11.12.2018 03:56:53] NO-Harold.Kane: Theoretically, if this system's connections to Cortez and Drake were severed...
[11.12.2018 03:57:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You forget about our shared labs.
[11.12.2018 03:57:37] NO-Harold.Kane: You'd end up with a pretty scary funnel of Nomads going lengthwise through Vespucci.
[11.12.2018 03:57:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Uh.
[11.12.2018 03:57:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: The hive is... erratic.
[11.12.2018 03:57:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's both active and low in activity.
[11.12.2018 03:58:01] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: It's some kind of hub.
[11.12.2018 03:58:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Drake is the real deal.
[11.12.2018 03:58:31] NO-Harold.Kane: Hrm.
[11.12.2018 03:58:36] NO-Harold.Kane: I've never been, so.
[11.12.2018 03:59:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: So, anything else before I head to medical for a camp night out?
[11.12.2018 03:59:33] NO-Harold.Kane: When we held -- in a sense -- the Kansas system we knew the hive was there and we watched it, but we never pressed in.
[11.12.2018 03:59:40] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Er, sleep over. hm.
[11.12.2018 03:59:44] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Hive, Kansas, what?
[11.12.2018 03:59:59] NO-Harold.Kane: Gate. My bad.
[11.12.2018 04:00:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh. The Shrine.
[11.12.2018 04:00:14] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I've been through there many-a-times, yes.
[11.12.2018 04:00:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: A price to pay but the curiosity was too great to not reward
[11.12.2018 04:00:32] NO-Harold.Kane: The Order attempted to establish a presence in the system at one point to monitor it.
[11.12.2018 04:00:39] NO-Harold.Kane: Attempted.
[11.12.2018 04:00:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I heard about Harbinger.
[11.12.2018 04:00:56] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I remember talks of their ships being in the borders back then.
[11.12.2018 04:00:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Infact, the Order caught me conversing to Harbinger in Delta once upon a time.
[11.12.2018 04:01:03] NO-Harold.Kane: Turns out a Spyglass will make a Geb decide it doesn't want to be around.
[11.12.2018 04:01:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: You see that Overwatch News article claiming that they "found proof that I'm infected"?
[11.12.2018 04:01:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: That was when I was talking to that beauty of a beast.
[11.12.2018 04:01:33] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I don't know why it didn't murder me there and then.
[11.12.2018 04:01:49] NO-Harold.Kane: Their propaganda is amusingly simplistic.
[11.12.2018 04:01:53] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes.
[11.12.2018 04:01:59] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Oh no... Tundra. Flashbacks.
[11.12.2018 04:02:04] NO-Harold.Kane: Tundra.
[11.12.2018 04:02:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: I remember being held in its tentacles at the front of the gun.
[11.12.2018 04:02:11] NO-Harold.Kane: That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
[11.12.2018 04:02:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Coronado.
[11.12.2018 04:02:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Two years ago.
[11.12.2018 04:02:26] NO-Harold.Kane: New York. Eight.
[11.12.2018 04:02:34] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Egh.
[11.12.2018 04:02:46] NO-Harold.Kane: That was a mess.
[11.12.2018 04:02:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Okay, erm.
[11.12.2018 04:02:51] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Anything else?
[11.12.2018 04:02:51] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: It was last spotted in Leeds.
[11.12.2018 04:03:03] NO-Harold.Kane: Nope. I think we're all good from my end.
[11.12.2018 04:03:23] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Should I send a copy of all this data off to uh, you know who?
[11.12.2018 04:03:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Good, because I'm struggling to keep up the fight, I'm sure Venator Bennett and Venator -
[11.12.2018 04:03:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: ...Jay?
[11.12.2018 04:03:38] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Him?
[11.12.2018 04:03:42] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Yes.
[11.12.2018 04:03:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [sigh] Yes.
[11.12.2018 04:04:02] NO-Harold.Kane: Your archivist, I take it?
[11.12.2018 04:04:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Leviathan.
[11.12.2018 04:04:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Yes, Joshua.
[11.12.2018 04:04:35] NO-Harold.Kane: Ah. He's still... upright.
[11.12.2018 04:04:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: [shying away from the conversation] I don't know how talk about it right now.
[11.12.2018 04:04:57] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: but anyhow...
[11.12.2018 04:05:03] NO-Harold.Kane: I understand.
[11.12.2018 04:05:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: SIS, Order's hooligans, if you find out anything, we can keep in touch.
[11.12.2018 04:05:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: likewise if we find something.
[11.12.2018 04:05:24] NO-Harold.Kane: You'll be the first and only people we call.
[11.12.2018 04:06:26] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Alright. Have fun with the Venators, but not too much fun without me, gossip is to live for.
[11.12.2018 04:06:31] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Off to med' we go.
[11.12.2018 04:06:37] NO-Harold.Kane: I need to start heading back home anyways.
[11.12.2018 04:06:43] NO-Harold.Kane: I'm going to hold you to that dinner and a movie.
[11.12.2018 04:06:49] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Farewell, Keeper.
[11.12.2018 04:06:56] NO-Harold.Kane: Safe travels to all of you.
[11.12.2018 04:06:59] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Well then. You decide on that, hah.
[11.12.2018 04:07:03] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I'll fly you out.
[11.12.2018 04:07:11] NO-Harold.Kane: Appreciate it.
[11.12.2018 04:07:11] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Good luck, and farewell.
[11.12.2018 04:07:13] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *ahem*
[11.12.2018 04:07:24] 2018-12-11 04:07:23 SMT Traffic control alert: A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith has requested to dock
[11.12.2018 04:07:54] NO-Harold.Kane: It's a nice corner of the sector, this system is.
[11.12.2018 04:08:05] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: It keeps us far away from trouble.
[11.12.2018 04:08:16] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Granted trouble always has a way of following a lot of people here.
[11.12.2018 04:08:48] NO-Harold.Kane: Considering trouble follows my people around, I understand.
[11.12.2018 04:09:24] A/)-ACV-Andraste: *Bennett chuckled* I don't think you do.
[11.12.2018 04:10:17] NO-Harold.Kane: I flew alongside Leviathan, Venator. Trouble follows us around.
[11.12.2018 04:10:21] NO-Harold.Kane: *chuckles*
[11.12.2018 04:10:30] NO-Harold.Kane: The good ol' days.
[11.12.2018 04:10:31] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: I guess so, but he /is/ trouble.
[11.12.2018 04:11:07] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Trouble doesn't follow you if you're making it everywhere you go.
[11.12.2018 04:11:15] NO-Harold.Kane: Amen to that.
[11.12.2018 04:11:25] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Now we're out two Venators and a dozen personnel.
[11.12.2018 04:11:32] NO-Harold.Kane: Well, I appreciate the hospitality, and the escort out.
[11.12.2018 04:11:50] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Anytime.
[11.12.2018 04:11:57] NO-Harold.Kane: Let's do this again sometime. Hopefully with less pressing political matters behind it, though.
[11.12.2018 04:12:06] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: Life isn't always so permitting.
[11.12.2018 04:12:15] NO-Harold.Kane: Don't I know it. Save travels, lads.
[11.12.2018 04:12:22] A/)-ACV-Andraste: Bennett: You too.
[11.12.2018 04:12:31] A/)-Katar: So long, be safe.
