Ran: Hey, bro, how's it going?
Rom: I think you know how it is. I just joined the Force.
Ran: You were always the boy scout. Now you finally live your dream. You happy about it?
Rom: Don't think you are talking to the same boy who wanted to blow stuff up as a kid. We change.
Ran: Doens't seem like it. Rumour says you tore an Arbiter apart on your first day...
Rom: How did you---?
Ran: Cut the crap, Romeo, I know EVERYONE in Liberty and their dogs. You know you got mom's commitment to duty and all, but I'm the one in the family who got her brains and diplomacy skills..
Rom: Can you please not throw mom's memory against me?
Ran: Well, you decided to do the "Dakbeat Family dinner call" at dad's birthday at 20:01 like he always did...
Rom:...
Ran: Sorry, man, I know how he was important to you. To both of us. I know his death threw us in a cacophany of family drama. That mom couldn't cope. That she just got herself away from us and further and further into the LSF...
Rom: At least dad wanted to have dinner together, you know. We never got to bury him but we know when and probably where he died. I pass that trade lane almost everyday going to Penn.

Ran:I know. These are crazy times to the most privileged of us. We started from scratch, remember?
Rom: Yeah
Ran: Dad's pension after his death barely made ends meet. Mom didn't even look at my face after he died because she said I reminded her of him. Maybe because I'm older...
Rom: First of all, I regret nothing. Our time with dad was great and he was so nice, so you probably got your trading skills from him. Second, we are twins barely 40 minutes apart. Third, I didn't want to join the 46th of wanderlust. I got family now. How long until Hattan itself falls prey to some rogue or order or insurgent or one of those... things?
.
Ran: That's what I thought, always jumping on the mine for family, or friends, or your meathead club at the Navy. You know that's why dad's body is drifting somewhere in the borderlands, right?
Rom: DON'T TALK ABOUT *punches a table* DAD LIKE THAT! You DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAW IN THE FRONTIER!
.
.
.
Ran:I'm.... I'm sorry, Rom.
Rom: Yeah, me too. About everything. About leaving our deal years ago. About settling down. I'm barely getting myself up to par on these ship. But this is not for a dream. This is for duty. I want to protect you, and our family, and...
Ran:And Liberty. Thanks to you I can focus on making money so we both can support ourselves.
Rom:Let me just say it right here, I don't want your money. Bounties are paying enough. Also, I heard you joined the USI so, we can consider ourselves among the privileged, right?
Ran:As usual trying to be the hero. Just refrain from killing yourself, ok? Your wife would blame me.
Rom:And you try not to do any greddy stupid bullcrap now that I'm not there to save your butt.
Ran:You are, Rom. Just in another ship. But you'll always be my little bro.
Rom:Ok now you want to piss me off and that won't work.

Rom:By the way, you know Jocko's callsign in the Navy Corps? I've been trying to tell him I enlisted but his personal address is down..
Ran:Well, clearly I'm better prepared to run intel on this family... Our uncle, John "Jocko" Darkbeat is now the proud LtCmd of the LNS-Discipline, and he's flexing muscles and chasing dudes in Texas just like he did to us back when we were fam-...
Rom:We never stopped being family, Randall. Thanks for the info. Try to hail me from time to time so I don't call you every dad's birthday.
Ran:Love you brother.
Rom: Roger. Same.
Ran: Ok now you're just intentionally sounding like hi---
