Yesterday I chased one of those Mollies to Arranmore, where he docked, with that same character. But if you insist, I could invent some kind of a hereditary genetic sickness induced by generational overconsumption of black tea which causes one's eyes to be squint in such a way that they can see everything except what is directly ahead, exactly the size of Arranmore at about 1K distance! Naturally, such people would usually not be allowed to serve the military, but this disease is unbelievably common among Bretonians. Khatri is of Indian descent, his ancestors have been consuming black tea even longer than most Bretonians.
It seems that this same sickness has impacted Khatri's awareness of the battlefield as well. Teeze usually flies bombers because he too has a form of this sickness which is making it hard for him to aim, but aiming at capitals is not very difficult. Or so it is thought. He might have just been supposed to become a poet instead of a soldier. This is why Khatri assumed Teeze was a bomber now as well. However, this time, Teeze was a fighter. And Khatri noticed that when he scanned him before intending to fire. Khatri is not a very nice bloke, but only when he is alone. However, because Teeze was present, Khatri had to be nice and let you kill Teeze (and that other BAF, and the Mollies as well, damn the incomprehensible drunks, where do they keep coming out of!?). And so he did, meanwhile dealing with the automated patrols and accidentally nailing a crewed Scylla, the same one he chased until Arranmore the day before, with a triple battlecruiser mortar.
Bretonia is doing all it can to cure the Black Tea Blindness, but the funding has been poor lately. It may take some time. Until our pilots can see directly ahead of them again, enjoy being able to amaze the random onlookers with your masterful skills by shooting them down one by one, like headless flies!
And make sure to remind us once in a while. The Sicnkess can cause memory loss too, and thus our feedback thread could use a post every now and then, no matter how unimportant -- lest we forget it exists!
