Ames Story...

Greetings, brothers and sisters of the light... It is I, Basilisk.

Yesterday, I participated in a conversation with the well-known villain, Caliban. Darkness enveloped his soul. I sense that he is in constant fear, which he tries to hide under the canvas of a cruel enemy.

We were in the Kepler system. The matter of darkness, anomalies, enmity, and all such things is maddening. He's not completely empty on the inside yet; he's trying to seem like a significant threat to us, but he's not. I've tried to build a peaceful dialogue with him, but he's constantly under the influence of the darkness, constantly tormented by it, taking away what's left of that pretty boy...

The abstraction of sound

[18.05.2023 21:53:45] Caliban: You again. You're a bit far from Rheinland, aren't you?
[18.05.2023 21:53:55] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: A bit far...
[18.05.2023 21:55:21] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Hello!
[18.05.2023 21:55:34] Caliban: Hey.
[18.05.2023 21:55:36] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Howdy, freelancer.
[18.05.2023 21:56:06] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: What are you doing here, stranger, with "Rheinland technologies"?
[18.05.2023 21:56:06] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: How is it going?
[18.05.2023 21:56:19] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Rheinland tech?
[18.05.2023 21:56:52] Caliban: Ain't your business to pry into my "technology" as it ain't mine to ask why you were leaving Liberty the other day.
[18.05.2023 21:56:58] Caliban: Or why you're in Kepler now.
[18.05.2023 21:57:21] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Of course not, I have something better what to do here.
[18.05.2023 21:57:57] Caliban: Few things are more important around these parts than radiation sickness and some ghost signals over the radar.
[18.05.2023 21:58:36] Lorcan: Woah, shit. People.
[18.05.2023 21:58:42] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Ah, hello!
[18.05.2023 21:58:48] Lorcan: In this weather?
[18.05.2023 21:58:55] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Fancy ship.
[18.05.2023 21:58:57] Caliban: I know, right? A miracle. Can't say the MND are really people, though.
[18.05.2023 21:59:03] Lorcan: Thank ye. Thank ye.
[18.05.2023 21:59:11] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why you hate us?
[18.05.2023 21:59:18] Lorcan: [Slaps the console.] She's a good ship.
[18.05.2023 21:59:37] Caliban: You people act more like robots than the LSF, SIS and the KOI combined.
[18.05.2023 21:59:44] Caliban: All protocols. So many rules.
[18.05.2023 22:00:06] Lorcan: Rules are for [draws a square with his fingers.]
[18.05.2023 22:00:11] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Of course, we need to keep the Rheinland in safety.
[18.05.2023 22:00:25] Caliban: Safety, of course.
[18.05.2023 22:00:41] Caliban: Well you're not keeping Rheinland safe now, are you?
[18.05.2023 22:00:57] Lorcan: So, you guys growing a third arm yet? I keep hoping for another one with this radiation.
[18.05.2023 22:01:16] Lorcan: Imagine the things you could do with another arm. "Things."
[18.05.2023 22:01:25] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why do you draw such a conclusion?
[18.05.2023 22:01:30] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Not I, laddie. Would be kind of weird, I believe.
[18.05.2023 22:01:45] Lorcan: Nah. Think about it. Three beers. THREE.
[18.05.2023 22:01:45] Caliban: Nah, haven't grown an extra arm yet. Despite living around these parts for the past few years.
[18.05.2023 22:02:08] Lorcan: Or uh, totally legal beverages to drink while flying, I mean.
[18.05.2023 22:02:09] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Suprised ya ain't dead yet, with all this radiation/
[18.05.2023 22:02:28] Lorcan: Don't arrest me Mr. Square man.
[18.05.2023 22:03:15] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: What would he arrest ye fer, laddie? Ya ain't done anything.
[18.05.2023 22:03:33] Lorcan: Yeah...nothing wrong here. [Sips his legal beverage.]
[18.05.2023 22:03:44] Lorcan: Anyway this has been uhm...what's the word?
[18.05.2023 22:03:51] Lorcan: Boring. That's the word.
[18.05.2023 22:03:56] Caliban: As for the MND. Yeah, you ain't keeping it safe, cause you're all the way here.
[18.05.2023 22:03:58] Lorcan: I'm gonna split.
[18.05.2023 22:04:15] Lorcan: Enjoy the rads fellas...or ladies...fellas and ladies? I dunno. Peace.
[18.05.2023 22:04:32] Lorcan: Off to get a third arm!
[18.05.2023 22:05:08] Caliban: He's probably headed to Ontario.
[18.05.2023 22:05:08] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Look at this system, it is full of fascinating structures, why do you think that I'm wasting time here...?
[18.05.2023 22:05:22] Caliban: Structures. Like what?
[18.05.2023 22:05:45] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Follow me, I'll show.
[18.05.2023 22:05:51] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: All I see is darkness.
[18.05.2023 22:05:58] Death: Olexandr was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[18.05.2023 22:06:08] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: We are here to put some 'Light'...
[18.05.2023 22:06:18] Caliban: Pardon?
[18.05.2023 22:06:27] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: kinda sus
[18.05.2023 22:06:35] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: The great danger is incoming...
[18.05.2023 22:06:53] Caliban: What kind of danger?
[18.05.2023 22:07:06] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: The darkness is spreading...
[18.05.2023 22:07:07] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Wha.....some weird anomalies.
[18.05.2023 22:07:33] Caliban: Darkness like...shining lights?
[18.05.2023 22:07:35] Caliban: I don't get it.
[18.05.2023 22:07:46] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: I am also lost, laddie.
[18.05.2023 22:08:19] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: No, the Darkness, I mean, something more special, than just a "shining lights" as you called it...
[18.05.2023 22:08:58] Caliban: I'm curious.
[18.05.2023 22:09:05] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: As am I.
[18.05.2023 22:09:32] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Look at this system, do you remember that times, when Kepler was one of the most beautiful places...?
[18.05.2023 22:10:07] Caliban: Not really, no. Some memories were yoinked out of my brain at one point in time. Can't tell.
[18.05.2023 22:10:12] Caliban: To me, it's always been like this.
[18.05.2023 22:10:38] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Damn, that is unfortunate.
[18.05.2023 22:11:05] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Eh, let me explain. Since 'something' happened, Kepler became the most dangerous system...
[18.05.2023 22:12:06] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: This cloud, anomalies... This is a result of spreading darkness...
[18.05.2023 22:12:44] Caliban: And you know this...? How?
[18.05.2023 22:12:52] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: More you know, less you sleep.
[18.05.2023 22:12:57] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Good question.
[18.05.2023 22:13:00] Caliban: Nah.
[18.05.2023 22:13:20] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: great, now he sussing you
[18.05.2023 22:13:38] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: So, what do you need?
[18.05.2023 22:13:42] Caliban: Few people know of what really is happening here. The MND is not one of them.
[18.05.2023 22:13:50] Caliban: Perhaps the Buro, but I don't see you as one of them.
[18.05.2023 22:13:55] Lorcan: Jesus Tapdancing Christ, I'm back here again? Can't find my ass with both hands in this shit.
[18.05.2023 22:14:05] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: More you know, less you sleep, just relax...
[18.05.2023 22:14:10] Caliban: Yeah?
[18.05.2023 22:14:30] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Don't underestimate the MND.
[18.05.2023 22:14:34] Caliban: So tell me. How come you just vaguely piss in my face about Nomads.
[18.05.2023 22:15:25] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Nomads?
[18.05.2023 22:15:36] Caliban: Don't act like a fool.
[18.05.2023 22:15:43] Caliban: You know more than you're letting on.
[18.05.2023 22:15:58] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: tf you doing?
[18.05.2023 22:16:02] Caliban: Fortunately, so do I.
[18.05.2023 22:16:03] Basilisk-[Fae: nothing lol
[18.05.2023 22:16:27] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: No, I know less than you think.
[18.05.2023 22:16:39] Caliban: Great darkness, some "Light"...
[18.05.2023 22:17:08] Caliban: Oddly specific for this particular place.
[18.05.2023 22:17:38] Caliban: So do tell. This darkness. What do /you/ think it is? Because I really do itch to not sleep at night.
[18.05.2023 22:18:18] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why?
[18.05.2023 22:18:24] Caliban: Just because.
[18.05.2023 22:18:55] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: So, you need to know more?
[18.05.2023 22:19:01] Caliban: Likely.
[18.05.2023 22:19:12] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Not sure I like the sound of where this is going.....
[18.05.2023 22:20:41] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: I know less, than you think.
[18.05.2023 22:20:53] Caliban: Say what you know then. Doesn't matter.
[18.05.2023 22:21:09] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: I've already told you, what I know, nothing special, mister..?
[18.05.2023 22:21:30] Caliban: Names aren't important on my end. I'm not asking for your name either, see.
[18.05.2023 22:22:00] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Why do you think so?
[18.05.2023 22:22:35] Caliban: Because if I were to give you my name, I'd also share your tiny schemes just so I can make sure you ain't stepping foot here -
[18.05.2023 22:22:36] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: I don't trust him as far as I can throw Melia
[18.05.2023 22:22:38] Caliban: - again. Ever.
[18.05.2023 22:23:25] Caliban: Like that saying. "Eye for an eye".
[18.05.2023 22:23:27] Vagrant.Melia: caliban is "necessary" as the psi-key but is a complete liability as far as we are concerned
[18.05.2023 22:24:17] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: necessary? can't we just delete him?
[18.05.2023 22:24:43] Vagrant.Melia: something something sentinels
[18.05.2023 22:25:00] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Heh, you are so aggressive, what happened to you?
[18.05.2023 22:25:06] Caliban: Everything.
[18.05.2023 22:25:27] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Chill, aggression is the worst way to talk
[18.05.2023 22:26:05] Caliban: Think you're hot shit, strolling around giving vague information about the Nomads so you mark more and more innocents.
[18.05.2023 22:26:06] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: And I guess, we need to comeback to Ames. I don't like when the radiation destroys my equipment...
[18.05.2023 22:27:05] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: I'm here for a long time, mister... unknown..? And firstly, I'm a peaceful scientist, that's why I told you what do I know.
[18.05.2023 22:27:17] Caliban: Scientist?
[18.05.2023 22:27:21] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: Yeah, I don't like this radiation either, can we go back to Ames?
[18.05.2023 22:27:22] Caliban: For a long time? How long, exactly?
[18.05.2023 22:27:36] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: I can't remember, but for a long time.
[18.05.2023 22:28:51] Caliban: If you're so peaceful, then you shouldn't have reminded me what the MND is suddenly "capable of", or whatever.
[18.05.2023 22:29:01] Caliban: Like a remark of "know who you're dealing with".
[18.05.2023 22:29:30] Caliban: Spoiler, I do. But whatever, the Freelancer is right. Ames is safer.
[18.05.2023 22:31:47] Caliban: If you don't know jackshit about what is happening, yet claim that you do, then you better prepare for a world of hurt.
[18.05.2023 22:32:27] Caliban: And trust me, my guns hurt way more.
[18.05.2023 22:33:07] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Nah, I can't say, something, what I don't know.
[18.05.2023 22:34:08] Caliban: You did. Then tried to put wool over my eyes by saying "more you know, less you sleep".
[18.05.2023 22:34:36] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: This is the truth
[18.05.2023 22:34:53] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: More you know, less you sleep.
[18.05.2023 22:35:12] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Also, why are you so obsessed with this?
[18.05.2023 22:35:36] Caliban: 'Cause its my business.
[18.05.2023 22:35:41] Caliban: And no one else's.
[18.05.2023 22:36:49] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Fascinating...
[18.05.2023 22:37:51] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: By the way, why you care about this 'anomaly'?
[18.05.2023 22:38:30] Caliban: Because it's dangerous. And shouldn't be prodded by the likes of you. You should be more concerned with making sure Rheinland-
[18.05.2023 22:38:48] Caliban: - doesn't get fucked over by Hessians, or Unioners. Or a natural disaster.
[18.05.2023 22:38:57] Duncan.Ferguson-[Fae: If you guys will excuse me, all this radiation has messed up my scrap of a ship, so I will land and get it looked at.
[18.05.2023 22:39:21] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: I don't give a shit on this revolutionaries...
[18.05.2023 22:39:46] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: We have fleet to deal with them...
[18.05.2023 22:40:18] Caliban: You should. They have some valid points as to why they do what they do.
[18.05.2023 22:42:00] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: They are just a useless rebels, who can't realize, that they aren't responsible to fight against regime...
[18.05.2023 22:42:27] Caliban: Who is, then?
[18.05.2023 22:42:50] Caliban: Someone has to fight for change. No matter the means.
[18.05.2023 22:42:57] Caliban: Surely you'd know.
[18.05.2023 22:43:29] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Somewhere I heard, people will always be dissatisfied.
[18.05.2023 22:43:49] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: And this dissatisfaction are making such a rebels...
[18.05.2023 22:44:05] Caliban: Your government is a shithole.
[18.05.2023 22:45:04] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: This is your opinion...
[18.05.2023 22:45:36] Caliban: No, it's a fact. When you have so many "rebels" fighting for change, you know something isn't right. Bundschuh, Hessians-
[18.05.2023 22:45:38] Caliban: - Unioners.
[18.05.2023 22:46:07] Caliban: They all want a change for the better. But you downgrade them.
[18.05.2023 22:46:21] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Every government has someone, who will disagree with them.
[18.05.2023 22:46:41] Caliban: One day you'll find yourself at the other end of a barrel. And then question if your death will mean anything to the rich -
[18.05.2023 22:46:46] Caliban: - snobs ruling you.
[18.05.2023 22:47:47] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Heh, if it will happen, I won't be in the Rheinland...
[18.05.2023 22:48:05] Caliban: Because you'll be here, playing with things you don't understand.
[18.05.2023 22:48:26] Caliban: Although, I still think you know more than you're letting on. But I already told you what will happen, didn't I?
[18.05.2023 22:49:54] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Kepler is not only yours place, me and most of my colleagues wants to deal with it.
[18.05.2023 22:50:21] Caliban: Then you'll do the more sane thing and get your colleagues out of here.
[18.05.2023 22:50:55] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: If they would like to go, they are free to come back.
[18.05.2023 22:51:09] Caliban: You're not in Rheinland. You're an unknown variable. Everyone will be gunning for you.
[18.05.2023 22:52:25] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Their idea - their actions.
[18.05.2023 22:52:35] Caliban: And if you ever decide to wake those monstrosities beyond the Anomaly.
[18.05.2023 22:52:50] Caliban: I will be gunning you down.
[18.05.2023 22:53:10] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: We are here not to destroy humanity.
[18.05.2023 22:53:52] Caliban: But you allegedly don't know how to address the situation here either.
[18.05.2023 22:54:01] Caliban: So don't break anything with your lack of knowledge.
[18.05.2023 22:54:39] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: There is nothing to break...
[18.05.2023 22:54:54] Caliban: There is.
[18.05.2023 22:54:59] Caliban: You just don't know it.
[18.05.2023 22:55:05] Caliban: Or claim you don't.
[18.05.2023 22:56:37] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: By the way, realize, that you are not alone, who wants to deal that radiation shit.
[18.05.2023 22:57:07] Caliban: Everyone wants, nobody knows how to.
[18.05.2023 22:57:31] Caliban: But I do. And many get that. So they take a seat back.
[18.05.2023 23:00:40] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: Well, I think, I need to relax.
[18.05.2023 23:00:48] Caliban: Mhm.
[18.05.2023 23:01:20] Basilisk-[Fae: ?: And if you won't mind, I'll be in the bar.
[18.05.2023 23:01:27] Caliban: Mhm.
