Non-Combat After Action Report

Date: 05.21.34, 07:30 GAST
Rank & Name: Initate Struikas, Andrew (Firebrand)
Reporting From: Valravn Garrison
AAR # 001

---

Been quite some time since I wrote one of these.

Initiate Struikas, reporting.

Been a moment but I finally got around to this given the large workload I've had on my hands lately. Had been recalling assets of mine from Liberty, mainly some of my belongings I didn't sell off, and two of my ships, a Longsword and Broadsword - only to be met by a Crayterian Greenhorn who was nosing around in the Technocrats' business, and also wouldn't leave me be when I warned him verbally.

The kid seemed to have been just sent here on a death wish. Makes me wonder what in the hell the Crayterians were thinking.

After that, we linked up with two ships, the Procyon and Juneau - seems to be older vessels once affiliated with the Legion prior to everything going to shit.

[16.05.2024 21:27:16] TFP)-Firebrand: Curacao.
[16.05.2024 21:27:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Heh.
[16.05.2024 21:27:41] TFP)-Firebrand:  .. Damn, now I'm thinking of Naoko.
[16.05.2024 21:28:58] TFP)-Firebrand: Entering Auxesian space now. Time to on station is Rolex +0005.
[16.05.2024 21:29:06] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Understood.
[16.05.2024 21:30:56] Newbie-3: A-a Freelancer?
[16.05.2024 21:31:04] TFP)-Firebrand: No, kid.
[16.05.2024 21:32:40] Newbie-3: If you are not a Freelancer, than who do you belong to?
[16.05.2024 21:32:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Prometheus.
[16.05.2024 21:33:04] Newbie-3: What- what kind of-of faction is that?
[16.05.2024 21:33:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Do not follow me, Crayterian. Only warning.
[16.05.2024 21:33:20] TFP)-Firebrand: Be advised, I have a trailer, singleton, Crayter.
[16.05.2024 21:33:24] Newbie-3: I only want answers, no-no problem.
[16.05.2024 21:33:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Nothing personal - I just don't want you following me where I'm going.
[16.05.2024 21:34:01] Newbie-3: Bu-but why?
[16.05.2024 21:34:03] TFP)-Firebrand: It would be wise to heed my advice. You'll find the answer sooner or later.
[16.05.2024 21:34:24] Newbie-3: My bo-boo-boss told me to patrol this region.
[16.05.2024 21:34:24] TFP)-Full.Send: This ex,
[16.05.2024 21:34:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Not the bird by any chance?
[16.05.2024 21:34:42] Lazurith: Revenant?
[16.05.2024 21:34:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Her tastes strike me as a little more eclectic anyway. Yeah.
[16.05.2024 21:34:53] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah well, my friends won't take kindly to you following me, I feel.
[16.05.2024 21:34:53] TFP)-Full.Send: Ah, there's Firebrand.
[16.05.2024 21:35:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Osorio, Megiddo flagged this one as a potential plant. That's why we're the welcoming party and not the Quartermaster.
[16.05.2024 21:35:21] Newbie-3: So-so you belong to the Technocracy?
[16.05.2024 21:35:36] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah. Sorry for the trailer. He decided to follow, against my advice to leave well enough alone.
[16.05.2024 21:35:44] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Megiddo doesn't tell me anything.
[16.05.2024 21:35:45] TFP)-Firebrand: Going to check IFF now.
[16.05.2024 21:40:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, tell me about it. Seems like a bad deal to me.
[16.05.2024 21:40:20] Newbie-3: Th-they told me I would be enough.
[16.05.2024 21:40:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, you pissed off your superiors.
[16.05.2024 21:40:36] TFP)-Full.Send: What's your name, rook?
[16.05.2024 21:40:38] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Definitely.
[16.05.2024 21:41:05] Newbie-3: Jaden P-P-P-Pierce.
[16.05.2024 21:41:23] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Speak louder, we can't hear you.
[16.05.2024 21:41:25] TFP)-Firebrand: So what's the deal with the Greenhorn?
[16.05.2024 21:41:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Poor kid. Look, Pierce, we don't want any trouble. But please understand that your presence here raises a few hackles.
[16.05.2024 21:41:53] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah. Like I said, you really don't want to piss my friends off, believe me.
[16.05.2024 21:41:54] Newbie-3: Bu-but I am supposed to be he-he-here.
[16.05.2024 21:42:15] TFP)-Full.Send: Adonis is pulling up the treaty presently. We'll see.
[16.05.2024 21:42:24] Lazurith: Huh? You are?
[16.05.2024 21:42:28] A/)-Adonis: <:: Verified directive. Crayer vessel - You are in violation of Technocracy spatial regulations and a signed treaty. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:42:48] A/)-Adonis: <:: Depart for Coronado immediately. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:42:56] TFP)-Firebrand: Look, a kid like you honestly has no business flying a solo patrol.
[16.05.2024 21:43:00] Newbie-3: Bu-but I will get punished if I return now.
[16.05.2024 21:43:03] Lazurith: No, Adonis. They can just vacate the exclusion zone.
[16.05.2024 21:43:04] TFP)-Firebrand: I've been in your shoes, believe me.
[16.05.2024 21:43:10] TFP)-Full.Send: Trust me, you'd rather be punished there.
[16.05.2024 21:43:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed.
[16.05.2024 21:43:19] Newbie-3: I-is that a threat?
[16.05.2024 21:43:20] Heap.Overflow: What's up fellas!
[16.05.2024 21:43:24] A/)-Adonis: <:: You have no authority, 'Lazurith'. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:43:26] TFP)-Full.Send: Neither a threat nor a promise.
[16.05.2024 21:43:31] TFP)-Full.Send: Truth spoken through experience.
[16.05.2024 21:43:39] Lazurith: Don't pull rank on me, I've been here for longer than you have.
[16.05.2024 21:43:45] TFP)-Firebrand: I get it - you're a rookie who wants to do his job.
[16.05.2024 21:43:47] A/)-Adonis: <:: No. You have not. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:43:59] Newbie-3: I-I will le-le-let you kn-know that I was top of my class!
[16.05.2024 21:44:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Ah, hells.
[16.05.2024 21:44:08] Lazurith: Hey.
[16.05.2024 21:44:17] Lazurith: What's up, friend?
[16.05.2024 21:44:20] TFP)-Firebrand: But insisting that you stay here is unwise - and has repercussions well beyond your paygrade.
[16.05.2024 21:44:26] Heap.Overflow: Yo!
[16.05.2024 21:44:27] Lazurith: What are you doing here?
[16.05.2024 21:44:35] TFP)-Firebrand: You would be wise to leave now before your superiors chew you out for breaking a treaty.
[16.05.2024 21:44:41] Heap.Overflow: Just checking my fellow nerdy neighbours.
[16.05.2024 21:44:43] TFP)-Full.Send: Look, if we're throwing weight around, I ran with Star Colonel Callahan back in 816.
[16.05.2024 21:44:47] A/)-Adonis: <:: If your superiors ordered you here, then they too are in violation of a treaty your own government signed. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:44:47] TFP)-Full.Send: You don't want this heat.
[16.05.2024 21:44:50] Newbie-3: But the-they were the one ordering me around!
[16.05.2024 21:44:55] TFP)-Firebrand: Because I've been in their shoes too - it's a long list of people kicking the ass of the guy down the line.
[16.05.2024 21:44:59] Lazurith: They're not in a good mood.
[16.05.2024 21:45:03] TFP)-Firebrand: And you don't want to be on the recieving end.
[16.05.2024 21:45:13] Heap.Overflow: Really? Well ain't that old news.
[16.05.2024 21:45:31] TFP)-Firebrand: You really, really don't. Either of our cannons, or your superiors after you get blasted into an ejection pod.
[16.05.2024 21:45:51] Newbie-3: So-so what should I do now?
[16.05.2024 21:45:56] Newbie-3: I can't return now.
[16.05.2024 21:46:06] TFP)-Full.Send: We can see you back to Coronado and request your superiors go easy on you.
[16.05.2024 21:46:10] Lazurith: Alright, I'll get back to you in a minute.
[16.05.2024 21:46:11] Heap.Overflow: Hey, colonial.
[16.05.2024 21:46:14] TFP)-Full.Send: Hell, you know what? There's a job you could do for /us/
[16.05.2024 21:46:15] Lazurith: Let me go help that... poor bastard...
[16.05.2024 21:46:15] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *A sudden, heavy sigh* Gods, are you having a pissing contest here, or an actual fight? Either way, pipe down.
[16.05.2024 21:46:19] Heap.Overflow: You got no home?
[16.05.2024 21:46:21] A/)-Adonis: <:: I would advise you report the problematic order /you/ received to the appropriate internal affairs board. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:46:36] Lazurith: Alright, guy. Lay it on me.
[16.05.2024 21:46:40] Lazurith: What's going on.
[16.05.2024 21:46:51] Newbie-3: No-nothing.
[16.05.2024 21:47:02] Lazurith: You told 'em you've been sent here, right?
[16.05.2024 21:47:10] Newbie-3: Yes.
[16.05.2024 21:47:13] Lazurith: And you're afraid to go back home empty handed, or something?
[16.05.2024 21:47:21] Newbie-3: Ma-maybe.
[16.05.2024 21:47:55] Lazurith: Mm-mmh. I see.
[16.05.2024 21:48:04] Lazurith: Kind of a big ask. Are you a greenhorn for the Republic?
[16.05.2024 21:48:18] Newbie-3: I-I jus-jus-just graduated.
[16.05.2024 21:48:45] Heap.Overflow: That's a nice ride.
[16.05.2024 21:48:49] Lazurith: What? They shouldn't be sending people like you out like this.
[16.05.2024 21:48:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Fucking A.
[16.05.2024 21:49:04] TFP)-Firebrand: My thoughts exactly.
[16.05.2024 21:49:16] Newbie-3: But my orders.
[16.05.2024 21:49:26] Lazurith: Well, I have to say, you followed them to the letter.
[16.05.2024 21:49:33] Lazurith: You came here, you checked on us, you did your thing.
[16.05.2024 21:49:35] TFP)-Full.Send: Keeper, we have a minor situation outside Valravn.
[16.05.2024 21:49:42] TFP)-Firebrand: Kid, listen, I shouldn't tell you this, but I used to serve in a House Navy.
[16.05.2024 21:49:52] Lazurith: Up-pupu. Let 'im finish.
[16.05.2024 21:49:55] A/)-Revenant: I'm not the Keeper, that would be Stavros, but what is going on?
[16.05.2024 21:50:05] TFP)-Firebrand: [He looks to Lazurith with a nod.]
[16.05.2024 21:50:10] A/)-ACV-Audax: <:: Crayter pilot. Refusing to depart the exclusion zone. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:50:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Crayterian pilot, freshly graduated. Superiors seem to have sent them on a hazing run to Inverness.
[16.05.2024 21:50:19] A/)-Revenant: It isn't responding?
[16.05.2024 21:50:21] Lazurith: He's been given a big first assignment.
[16.05.2024 21:50:25] TFP)-Full.Send: It's afraid.
[16.05.2024 21:50:29] A/)-Revenant: Afraid of what?
[16.05.2024 21:50:29] Lazurith: And honestly, a pretty trying one.
[16.05.2024 21:50:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Both of engaging us and of leaving.
[16.05.2024 21:50:35] TFP)-Full.Send: Freeze response.
[16.05.2024 21:50:45] TFP)-Firebrand: If this is their idea of Hazing, then fuck if I've seen less stupid rituals on West Point.
[16.05.2024 21:50:55] Lazurith: Now. What do you think your high command wants to know?
[16.05.2024 21:50:56] TFP)-Full.Send: It's the Crayterians.
[16.05.2024 21:51:05] A/)-Revenant: Ask them why they want to stay with the Crayterians if they want him to die.
[16.05.2024 21:51:10] Newbie-3: I-I don-don't know.
[16.05.2024 21:51:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Point.
[16.05.2024 21:51:16] Lazurith: Clearly they didn't send you here for a wellness check.
[16.05.2024 21:51:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Lazurith is working the issue right now. Osorio and I are on standby to provide tactical superiority.
[16.05.2024 21:51:37] A/)-ACV-Audax: <:: [ONLINE] Tracking -> Single-craft target: Crayter Republic. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:51:38] Newbie-3: They jus-just told me to-to fly he-here and record som-somethi-something.
[16.05.2024 21:51:41] A/)-ACV-Audax: <:: Condition: Yellow. ::>
[16.05.2024 21:51:48] TFP)-Firebrand: My thoughts exactly. Honestly seems to me like they're sending out some poor kid who didn't exactly fall in line.
[16.05.2024 21:51:50] TFP)-Full.Send: What did tell you to record?
[16.05.2024 21:52:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Expecting him to get 'lost'.
[16.05.2024 21:52:15] Newbie-3: Jus-just au-audio.
[16.05.2024 21:52:25] TFP)-Full.Send: Hey, kid. You said you graduated top of your class, yeah?
[16.05.2024 21:52:35] Newbie-3: Ye-yes?
[16.05.2024 21:52:41] TFP)-Full.Send: Look around you and tell me what your best tactical assessment of this situation is if it goes south for you.
[16.05.2024 21:52:51] Heap.Overflow: Ah yes, zoners. My favorite bystanders!
[16.05.2024 21:52:59] Heap.Overflow: Hello doc, I almost didn't notice you there.
[16.05.2024 21:53:08] Newbie-3: Prob-probably no-not to gre-great.
[16.05.2024 21:53:12] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *grumbles* Yeah, greetings.
[16.05.2024 21:53:16] TFP)-Firebrand: [He returns his gaze to Newbie-3.]
[16.05.2024 21:53:16] TFP)-Full.Send: No, not too great at all.
[16.05.2024 21:53:18] Heap.Overflow: Doing good?
[16.05.2024 21:53:19] Newbie-3: I cou-could take one or tw-two down.
[16.05.2024 21:53:24] TFP)-Full.Send: I, uh.
[16.05.2024 21:53:33] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, before the Audax lays into you.
[16.05.2024 21:53:38] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Could be better...tired mostly.
[16.05.2024 21:53:40] TFP)-Full.Send: I do not encourage you to test that assumption.
[16.05.2024 21:53:43] Lazurith: Hoho. Optimistic! But... ehhh, I wouldn't try that if I were you!
[16.05.2024 21:53:44] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: And you, pilot?
[16.05.2024 21:53:44] TFP)-Firebrand: Seconded.
[16.05.2024 21:54:05] Heap.Overflow: I'm fine, but yeah could always be better for real.
[16.05.2024 21:54:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Forget the Audax, Osorio or myself could run that little Nyx through from stem to stern.
[16.05.2024 21:54:12] Lazurith: Now - I understand your high command probably looks at us with some suspicion.
[16.05.2024 21:54:16] TFP)-Firebrand: I've seen camfootage of those Sturgeons during the time that Kusarian ran Freeport 11. Nasty things. You don't want to fuck..
[16.05.2024 21:54:17] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: M-hm...
[16.05.2024 21:54:19] TFP)-Firebrand: with them.
[16.05.2024 21:54:22] Lazurith: Because... well, it's... /us/. We have a reputation.
[16.05.2024 21:54:32] A/)-Revenant: I see an "INS-Procyon" within Coronado, on the edge of sensors.
[16.05.2024 21:54:40] A/)-Revenant: It's a... Liberty Battlecruiser?
[16.05.2024 21:54:45] Lazurith: Unfortunately, your people gave you a task that may have been a mite too much for you right now.
[16.05.2024 21:54:53] Lazurith: It's their problem, not yours.
[16.05.2024 21:54:58] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *looks at scanners for the first time since undocking* ...pretty colorful posse out here today.
[16.05.2024 21:55:03] Newbie-3: But-but they are my boss!
[16.05.2024 21:55:17] TFP)-Firebrand: Just because they're your superior doesn't mean they have the best of intentions, kid.
[16.05.2024 21:55:21] Lazurith: Wait - they're not?
[16.05.2024 21:55:28] Lazurith: Who do you work for, then?
[16.05.2024 21:55:28] hihi: Hi
[16.05.2024 21:55:37] Heap.Overflow: Hi, hihi.
[16.05.2024 21:55:40] Newbie-3: For the republic?
[16.05.2024 21:55:43] hihi: hihi
[16.05.2024 21:55:43] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *nods*
[16.05.2024 21:55:44] Lazurith:  ...Aha.
[16.05.2024 21:55:45] TFP)-Firebrand: If your CO told you to fly into Nomad Space, would you do it?
[16.05.2024 21:56:02] Newbie-3: De-depends.
[16.05.2024 21:56:07] Lazurith: So... they /are/ your bosses, then! 'Cause... you know, you /work for them/.
[16.05.2024 21:56:10] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: So...may I ask what a Hacker does around here? Just curiosity, really.
[16.05.2024 21:56:13] A/)-Revenant: Hello. Everything alright?
[16.05.2024 21:56:17] TFP)-Firebrand: If he came over the radio and told you to fly into that sun's corona, would you do it? Knowing full well it'd roast you alive?
[16.05.2024 21:56:18] Lazurith: You know, that's... that's the whole point--
[16.05.2024 21:56:24] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Raven.
[16.05.2024 21:56:30] Lazurith: [He would sigh out loud.] Great.
[16.05.2024 21:56:37] A/)-Revenant: Very subtle.
[16.05.2024 21:56:39] Lazurith: Alright - listen.
[16.05.2024 21:56:39] Newbie-3: I-if that would bring glory to m-m-my family.
[16.05.2024 21:56:48] Lazurith: Let's just roll, before this gets any more complicated.
[16.05.2024 21:56:51] TFP)-Full.Send: Revenant, Audax. Given Prometheus' status as guests within Inverness, request that we be the ones to dispatch this -
[16.05.2024 21:56:57] TFP)-Full.Send: Crayterian if they refuse to comply.
[16.05.2024 21:56:58] Lazurith: I can help you think of something on the way home.
[16.05.2024 21:56:58] A/)-Revenant: Hey, Newbie.
[16.05.2024 21:57:06] A/)-Revenant: Now, hang on, before you run off with him.
[16.05.2024 21:57:09] TFP)-Full.Send: Osorio and myself are both more than capable of taking him down.
[16.05.2024 21:57:11] Newbie-3: O-okay.
[16.05.2024 21:57:13] A/)-Revenant: Why'd you sign up for Crayter?
[16.05.2024 21:57:21] TFP)-Firebrand: Kid, I'm gonna be blunt, if you follow your orders to the T like that don't think about them, you won't live long, and you..
[16.05.2024 21:57:30] TFP)-Firebrand: won't bring anything to your family short of a coffin.
[16.05.2024 21:57:30] Newbie-3: For justice!
[16.05.2024 21:57:35] A/)-Revenant: Justice for what?
[16.05.2024 21:57:51] Newbie-3: Justice fo-fo-for the right cause!
[16.05.2024 21:57:54] Heap.Overflow: *an idiot bursts to laugh*
[16.05.2024 21:57:59] A/)-Revenant: Do you know what the right cause is though?
[16.05.2024 21:58:01] Upalite: Kid, you'd just die for no good cause. All that brings you and your family is death and mourning.
[16.05.2024 21:58:16] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed.
[16.05.2024 21:58:16] Lazurith: Don't listen to them, kid. You'll be out of here in no time.
[16.05.2024 21:58:21] Lazurith: Don't let it get to you.
[16.05.2024 21:58:24] Newbie-3: The-the-they would get a lo-lot of cre-cre-cre-cre-CREDITS.
[16.05.2024 21:58:34] Lazurith: There. Can he go now?
[16.05.2024 21:58:45] Lazurith: You got what you wanted.
[16.05.2024 21:58:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Do you really think so lowly of yourself? That your life is worth less to them than a fucking fatality payout?
[16.05.2024 21:58:50] A/)-Revenant: You really think they'll pay it out and not mark you off as a lost note?
[16.05.2024 21:59:01] A/)-Revenant: They only care about keeping profits for themselves.
[16.05.2024 21:59:17] Heap.Overflow: It's clear that fella doesn't value his life as much as national pride.
[16.05.2024 21:59:23] Newbie-3: Pro-prop-propa-proganda.
[16.05.2024 21:59:27] Heap.Overflow: Doesn't surpise me one bit, all Navies are like that.
[16.05.2024 21:59:44] Lazurith: He gave you an answer. He's free to go now.
[16.05.2024 21:59:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Kid, listen. Causes come and go - you gotta hear me out on this. I used to be just like you, loyal to my house, believing I was
[16.05.2024 21:59:54] TFP)-Firebrand: doing the right thing.
[16.05.2024 22:00:01] Heap.Overflow: Yo, technocrats.
[16.05.2024 22:00:03] TFP)-Firebrand: But I learned a painful lesson.
[16.05.2024 22:00:08] Heap.Overflow: You know why that guy's here.
[16.05.2024 22:00:09] Lazurith: He can think for himself, everyone.
[16.05.2024 22:00:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Years of living a lie.
[16.05.2024 22:00:24] A/)-Revenant: So er...
[16.05.2024 22:00:26] TFP)-Firebrand: You don't want to live with that.
[16.05.2024 22:00:26] Lazurith: He'll learn his lessons. He's clearly adult enough to be on a space ship.
[16.05.2024 22:00:33] Upalite: Just about, from the sounds of it.
[16.05.2024 22:00:34] A/)-Revenant: You were sent here to pick a fight as some kind of initiation, right?
[16.05.2024 22:00:39] Lazurith: No.
[16.05.2024 22:00:39] Heap.Overflow: Crayter's testing how trigger-happy y'all are and there's probably no right choice here.
[16.05.2024 22:00:45] TFP)-Firebrand: If anything, just take what I've said to heart, and think on it.
[16.05.2024 22:00:45] A/)-Revenant: What are they going to do to you when you go back?
[16.05.2024 22:00:47] Newbie-3: N-no.
[16.05.2024 22:00:55] A/)-Revenant: No? Why are you here then?
[16.05.2024 22:00:58] Lazurith: He's here because he was tasked with obtaining an audio sample recording about us.
[16.05.2024 22:01:02] A/)-Revenant: Are you looking for something?
[16.05.2024 22:01:05] A/)-Revenant: Ah.
[16.05.2024 22:01:08] A/)-Revenant: Well.
[16.05.2024 22:01:37] Lazurith: Had it been one of us on the orbit of Yuma, they would've allowed us to leave freely.
[16.05.2024 22:01:38] A/)-Revenant: For obvious reasons, we cannot allow our guests to come to harm.
[16.05.2024 22:01:41] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *switches the comm on standby over the chattering, and lights a cigar to enjoy in silence*
[16.05.2024 22:02:02] TFP)-Full.Send: Not too sure I believe that, Lazurith. At least not if it were Prometheus.
[16.05.2024 22:02:04] A/)-Revenant: So I'd like to kindly ask of you to wipe your datalogs, corrupt them, say you got rattled up.

[16.05.2024 22:02:12] A/)-Revenant: Crayter would without a doubt, go guns free.
[16.05.2024 22:02:23] A/)-Revenant: We don't need to go guns free here though.
[16.05.2024 22:02:24] Lazurith: After the accord? Not a chance.
[16.05.2024 22:02:25] Heap.Overflow: You're gonna trust him doin' that?
[16.05.2024 22:02:31] Heap.Overflow: You can't be that fool.
[16.05.2024 22:02:32] Newbie-3: Bu-but I can not delete the files.
[16.05.2024 22:02:35] TFP)-Full.Send: Awfully optimistic, Laz.
[16.05.2024 22:02:37] A/)-Revenant: Why's that?
[16.05.2024 22:02:38] Newbie-3: The-they would cu-cut my pay.
[16.05.2024 22:02:47] Newbie-3: And worse.
[16.05.2024 22:02:50] TFP)-Full.Send: How much are they paying you monthly?
[16.05.2024 22:03:07] Newbie-3: En-enough.
[16.05.2024 22:03:09] Heap.Overflow: I'd say dent his ship, take it, give him a starflier to fly back.
[16.05.2024 22:03:10] Lazurith: You don't have to disclose that.
[16.05.2024 22:03:29] A/)-Revenant: Is it enough though?
[16.05.2024 22:03:37] A/)-Revenant: When you have to abide by all these suicidal tasks?
[16.05.2024 22:03:47] Newbie-3: I thi-think so.
[16.05.2024 22:03:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Look. If I give you 200k to hold you over personally, will you head home?
[16.05.2024 22:03:52] Lazurith: There.
[16.05.2024 22:04:05] Lazurith: He's answered enough.
[16.05.2024 22:04:07] Newbie-3: I-I wou-would.
[16.05.2024 22:04:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Last thing I want is some greenhorn, no matter the flag, dying.
[16.05.2024 22:04:26] Lazurith: No - actually.
[16.05.2024 22:04:28] Lazurith: Don't accept it.
[16.05.2024 22:04:37] Lazurith: Hear me out. Your NN cred chip will be investigated.
[16.05.2024 22:04:45] Lazurith: You don't wanna be found out eating credits from the Technocracy's hands.
[16.05.2024 22:04:49] Lazurith: I'll wire them myself.
[16.05.2024 22:04:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah.. fair point.
[16.05.2024 22:05:09] A/)-Revenant: They won't notice if you mark it as incognito
[16.05.2024 22:05:27] Newbie-3: The-they would see the time of recievement.
[16.05.2024 22:05:30] Lazurith: I already made a transaction to your NN chip.
[16.05.2024 22:05:41] Newbie-3: Th-thanks.
[16.05.2024 22:05:43] A/)-Revenant: They don't know how long you were here for. Or do they have a tracker?
[16.05.2024 22:05:51] Lazurith: Tell them that you helped an independent contractor on the way back.
[16.05.2024 22:05:59] Lazurith: We can iron out the story together.
[16.05.2024 22:06:04] Newbie-3: O-okay.
[16.05.2024 22:06:14] Lazurith: C'mon. Let's roll.
[16.05.2024 22:06:21] TFP)-Full.Send: I'm quite certain the Technocracy has the knowhow to wipe a Crayterian blackbox if need be anyway.
[16.05.2024 22:06:33] A/)-Revenant: Yeah, speaking of that.
[16.05.2024 22:06:36] Heap.Overflow: Don't let him go with that shiiiiip...
[16.05.2024 22:06:38] A/)-Revenant: Make sure his box is wiped/.
[16.05.2024 22:06:41] A/)-Revenant: Stop him.
[16.05.2024 22:06:42] Heap.Overflow: You'll regret iiiiit...
[16.05.2024 22:06:46] A/)-Revenant has set Newbie-3 as group target.

[16.05.2024 22:06:54] A/)-Revenant: We'll leave you alone.
[16.05.2024 22:07:00] A/)-Revenant: We just need to make sure everyone's personal security here is fine.
[16.05.2024 22:07:01] TFP)-Firebrand: Wipe the blackbox.
[16.05.2024 22:07:04] A/)-Revenant: Because your cover story has holes.
[16.05.2024 22:07:05] Lazurith: He will.
[16.05.2024 22:07:07] A/)-Revenant: They can see it in the log.
[16.05.2024 22:07:09] A/)-Revenant: No.
[16.05.2024 22:07:10] Lazurith: Leave him alone, damn it.
[16.05.2024 22:07:11] A/)-Revenant: Make sure it's gone.
[16.05.2024 22:07:15] TFP)-Firebrand: That's all we want.
[16.05.2024 22:07:15] TFP)-Full.Send: Got him.
[16.05.2024 22:07:23] A/)-Revenant: He will be fine Laz.

[16.05.2024 22:07:43] TFP)-Firebrand: Wipe the box, and head home. I don't want to have to resort to violence. None of us do.
[16.05.2024 22:07:51] Lazurith: He will wipe it. I'll see to that.
[16.05.2024 22:07:54] Newbie-3: I-I will wipe it once I am safe.
[16.05.2024 22:08:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Can't trust you with that.
[16.05.2024 22:08:10] A/)-Revenant: Fine.
[16.05.2024 22:08:11] Upalite: You're safe right now. A lot less safe if you don't stop moving.
[16.05.2024 22:08:12] TFP)-Full.Send: You're safe here. We'll wipe it here.
[16.05.2024 22:08:14] A/)-Revenant: Oh.
[16.05.2024 22:08:24] Newbie-3: Bee-be-boop. See, it is wiped.
[16.05.2024 22:08:25] Lazurith: I will vouch for him.
[16.05.2024 22:08:31] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't like this.
[16.05.2024 22:08:34] Lazurith: He can't do something this complicated here.
[16.05.2024 22:08:48] Lazurith: Like I said - I'll help him with that.
[16.05.2024 22:09:19] TFP)-Full.Send: TFP units, don't pursue to Coronado if he makes the jump.
[16.05.2024 22:09:25] TFP)-Firebrand: Understood.
[16.05.2024 22:09:38] Heap.Overflow: That's such a cool fighter though.
[16.05.2024 22:09:44] Heap.Overflow: The crayterians sure have good taste.

[16.05.2024 22:10:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Y'know, I know i'm your guys' guest and all, but are you going to say that on the same net as him?
[16.05.2024 22:10:02] Heap.Overflow: Nah.
[16.05.2024 22:10:10] Heap.Overflow: Why that when I can steal one?

[16.05.2024 22:11:04] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah. I feel bad for the kid, but honestly my patience is wearing thin.
[16.05.2024 22:11:05] TFP)-Full.Send: That was messy.

[16.05.2024 22:11:22] A/)-Revenant: He is reckless, full of emotion, and has been swayed by outsiders.
[16.05.2024 22:11:27] A/)-Revenant: He could have gotten that Hacker killed.
[16.05.2024 22:11:33] A/)-Revenant: Simply by refusing to wipe that box.
[16.05.2024 22:11:38] A/)-Revenant: Hans too.
[16.05.2024 22:11:49] A/)-Revenant: Liberty is not lenient in its prejudice.
[16.05.2024 22:11:53] TFP)-Firebrand: I won't speak on it. Don't know the guy.
[16.05.2024 22:11:58] TFP)-Full.Send: Well, if there's one thing Prometheus actually comprehends, it's OpSec.
[16.05.2024 22:11:59] A/)-Revenant: Crayter's getting closer and closer to them.
[16.05.2024 22:12:05] TFP)-Firebrand: Preaching to the choir, Technocrat.
[16.05.2024 22:12:09] A/)-Revenant: Mmmm.
[16.05.2024 22:12:22] A/)-Revenant: Speaking of operations, so forth, did your people need any gear requisitioned?
[16.05.2024 22:12:26] TFP)-Full.Send: A question if I may

[16.05.2024 22:13:23] Heap.Overflow: You gotta admit that wasn't a good show.

[16.05.2024 22:13:51] Heap.Overflow: Nah, I told ya what you could've done if it's a big deal.
[16.05.2024 22:14:05] A/)-Revenant: People still remember her? I'm amazed.
[16.05.2024 22:14:20] Heap.Overflow: There's a fuckin' Liberty Interdictor sittin' on top of fourteen by the way.
[16.05.2024 22:14:34] TFP)-Firebrand: Who the fuck doesn't. Core was the butt of 1/3rd of the jokes back at Norfolk, and she was 1/8th of those.
[16.05.2024 22:15:04] TFP)-Firebrand: WHAT!?
[16.05.2024 22:15:07] A/)-Revenant: Oh, he's referring to that Insurgent.
[16.05.2024 22:15:34] TFP)-Firebrand: Anywho - we don't exist for your entertainment, jackass.

[16.05.2024 22:16:17] TFP)-Full.Send: INS Procyon, declare your intentions. Are you with Victoria Knight?
[16.05.2024 22:16:22] TFP)-Firebrand: Nails on the LABC.
[16.05.2024 22:16:41] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Haven't had anything to do with that traitor for years.
[16.05.2024 22:17:01] TFP)-Full.Send: You'll forgive my skepticism. How have you kept that thing so well maintained all these years?
[16.05.2024 22:17:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: 'Well maintained' is fairly generous.
[16.05.2024 22:17:42] TFP)-Full.Send: Beats the others I've seen around recently.
[16.05.2024 22:17:44] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: There's only so much my people can do with Zoner mooring points.
[16.05.2024 22:18:05] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But I like to think my guys are still pretty good at their jobs.
[16.05.2024 22:18:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Have you been basing off the Freeport this whole time? I rather think the Auxo would have noticed.
[16.05.2024 22:18:54] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We've been floating around the Taus, mostly, primarily off of Freeport 10.
[16.05.2024 22:19:08] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But we make the occasional trip down here to 14 every one in a while.
[16.05.2024 22:19:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Makes a little more sense.
[16.05.2024 22:19:24] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: No idea how they never noticed. Maybe we're just that obscure.
[16.05.2024 22:19:26] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't suppose you got the call, given the address was to Legionnaires.
[16.05.2024 22:19:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Maybe Megiddo should have cast a wider net.
[16.05.2024 22:19:59] TFP)-Firebrand: Given I heard about it, I'm surprised he didn't.
[16.05.2024 22:20:18] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We severed our connection with the Leniex Network once we made it past the blockade.
[16.05.2024 22:20:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Leniex Network, good joke.
[16.05.2024 22:20:43] TFP)-Full.Send: We scorched earthed it.
[16.05.2024 22:20:59] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo's transmission was sent out from Valravn.
[16.05.2024 22:21:48] TFP)-Firebrand: So. What brings you to Inverness. In a LABC that looks like she hasn't seen dry dock in ages?
[16.05.2024 22:22:15] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Well, like I said, we make this trip every now and then.
[16.05.2024 22:22:54] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I've had to bring some Zoners aboard to replace some of the losses we've taken over the years.
[16.05.2024 22:23:07] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A few of them have folks down here.
[16.05.2024 22:23:15] Lazurith: Big ass reading over there.
[16.05.2024 22:23:17] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm surprised the 5th Fleet or LSF hasn't been sicced on you. But then again, Liberty loses ships like I go through beer.
[16.05.2024 22:23:25] A/)-Revenant: I'm surprised you convinced some to come aboard.
[16.05.2024 22:23:28] Lazurith: Holy smokes.
[16.05.2024 22:23:35] A/)-Revenant: I'm guessing it gets people giddy to be able to work on one of those.
[16.05.2024 22:24:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, if I were a Zoner these days I wouldn't trust a Battlecruiser, let alone a fly belonging to LIBNAV, even if it was waivin
[16.05.2024 22:24:02] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A fairly pristine Interdictor can be quite the curiosity grabber.
[16.05.2024 22:24:06] TFP)-Firebrand: g Insurgent colors.
[16.05.2024 22:25:04] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Of course, they don't have the faintest idea how many of our primary systems work, even some secondaries, so we're not-
[16.05.2024 22:25:10] INS-Procyon: -exactly combat capable.
[16.05.2024 22:25:30] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[16.05.2024 22:25:42] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We have deterrence, but that's about it.
[16.05.2024 22:26:30] TFP)-Firebrand: Who the heck is this Lazurith guy, anyways.
[16.05.2024 22:26:48] TFP)-Firebrand: I assume he's someone you all or the Technocrats know.
[16.05.2024 22:26:53] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: So, I recognize the primary Technocracy idents, but who's the other?
[16.05.2024 22:27:00] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: Don't know the guy.
[16.05.2024 22:27:01] A/)-Revenant: He used to be one of us.
[16.05.2024 22:27:05] Lazurith: Task Force Pear. Our newest and brightest.
[16.05.2024 22:27:08] A/)-Revenant: But he ran away, Leviathan let him off, I don't know why.
[16.05.2024 22:27:11] Lazurith: Just kidding.
[16.05.2024 22:27:12] A/)-Revenant: But he's been trouble.
[16.05.2024 22:27:20] A/)-Revenant: Mind if I link in the operative?
[16.05.2024 22:27:33] TFP)-Firebrand: Hmm. I'll keep that in mind.
[16.05.2024 22:27:39] A/)-Revenant: I personally do not trust Lazurith.
[16.05.2024 22:27:42] Lazurith: They are former Insurgents, remnants if you will. Here to knock Victoria Knight out of the chessboard for good.
[16.05.2024 22:27:42] TFP)-Firebrand: And I have no say in the matter.
[16.05.2024 22:27:46] TFP)-Firebrand: So do as you wish.
[16.05.2024 22:27:47] A/)-Revenant: He is very suspect to being manipulated by outsiders.
[16.05.2024 22:27:47] Lazurith: Don't blame 'em.
[16.05.2024 22:27:55] A/)-Revenant: And he certainly does not control security matters.
[16.05.2024 22:28:10] A/)-Revenant: We should have told that Crayter to climb into his pod, tractor him in, destroy  the ship, let him loose on the Freeport.
[16.05.2024 22:28:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Victoria Knight. Gods, it's been ages since I heard that name. Not in a positive light, of course.
[16.05.2024 22:28:21] Lazurith: We're offering them help and aid. A means to fight back at the people who took everything from them.
[16.05.2024 22:28:49] A/)-Adonis: <:: I had advised they depart immediately. Lazurith interfered. ::>
[16.05.2024 22:28:54] A/)-Revenant: In any case, he's no enemy. But it is telling of his revolt.
[16.05.2024 22:29:06] A/)-Revenant: The Crayter ship did not wipe its blackbox.
[16.05.2024 22:29:15] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, I can tell - he seems very emotional. I can sympathize with the kid yeah, but I'm not going to let it get in the way of
[16.05.2024 22:29:15] A/)-Revenant: Hans and the Hacker were endangered by association.
[16.05.2024 22:29:18] TFP)-Firebrand: my duties.
[16.05.2024 22:29:38] TFP)-Firebrand: If he refused to listen to reason - para bellum.
[16.05.2024 22:29:56] Lazurith: There's plenty of 'em trapped in Erie to this day. Former Guadalajara people being shipped off to LPI labour camps.
[16.05.2024 22:30:04] TFP)-Firebrand: Fucking disgusting.
[16.05.2024 22:30:09] Upalite: Every hand I've ever seen reached out to Lazurith has been grasped firmly, and he's then allowed that hand to pull him any
[16.05.2024 22:30:10] Upalite: which way.
[16.05.2024 22:30:13] Upalite: He's a liability.
[16.05.2024 22:30:26] TFP)-Firebrand: I've been near one of those camps. Makes me sick thinking about it.
[16.05.2024 22:30:32] A/)-Revenant: The treatment of those who wish to be left alone was horrendous.
[16.05.2024 22:30:34] Lazurith: Someone's got to stand up to these atrocities, and they answered the clarion call.
[16.05.2024 22:30:39] Upalite: We had every opportunity to deal with this little incursion swiftly and quietly, but chose not to.
[16.05.2024 22:30:47] TFP)-Emilia:Osorio: I've been in one of these camps, it's not pretty.
[16.05.2024 22:31:04] A/)-Revenant: I should have been more assertive, but I had recently returned from a long expedition. No matter.
[16.05.2024 22:31:05] Lazurith: Scenes like these are happening all throughout Liberty. Right now!
[16.05.2024 22:31:07] A/)-Revenant: We learned, we adapt for next time.
[16.05.2024 22:31:13] A/)-Revenant: Nothing critical was lost here, thankfully.
[16.05.2024 22:31:21] TFP)-Firebrand: The Zoners can be a strange sort but fuck if they didn't deserve that. Could have sworn I saw similar crap in history class.
[16.05.2024 22:31:31] A/)-Revenant: Gran Canaria... Bretonia.
[16.05.2024 22:31:43] A/)-Revenant: The Miners Guild was pushed out from Magellan from corporate takeover of their remains.
[16.05.2024 22:31:44] TFP)-Firebrand: I've never been. Heard it's lovely, though.
[16.05.2024 22:31:50] A/)-Revenant: Bering, the Freeport taken down.
[16.05.2024 22:32:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Wasn't Bering fucked seven ways to sunday by that Dark Matter storm? Or am I mistaken?
[16.05.2024 22:32:15] A/)-Revenant: Alberta.
[16.05.2024 22:32:18] Upalite: I'd simply urge you not to let this moment of weakness repeat itself. The Crayterians may look to take advantage, knowing
[16.05.2024 22:32:20] A/)-Revenant: You are thinking of Ames.
[16.05.2024 22:32:27] Upalite: the blackbox is most likely fully intact and being read out as we speak.
[16.05.2024 22:32:33] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Bering was screwed over by Knight and her goons.
[16.05.2024 22:32:42] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: But I can see how you could get confused.
[16.05.2024 22:32:56] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Seems no matter where she goes, someone else pays the price.
[16.05.2024 22:32:56] TFP)-Firebrand: Right. I travelled up to Kusari to visit the in-laws a couple of years back. Shit was a mess in that neck of the woods.
[16.05.2024 22:33:01] A/)-Revenant: I was not present for the entire situation. But I presume nothing sensitive was revealed.
[16.05.2024 22:33:14] A/)-Adonis: Their pilot was caught. The information they gathered is meaningless and non-substantial.
[16.05.2024 22:33:21] A/)-Adonis: Nothing exposed. Nothing lost.
[16.05.2024 22:33:26] TFP)-Full.Send: The Crayterian?
[16.05.2024 22:33:33] A/)-Revenant: Mhm. No data was leaked?
[16.05.2024 22:33:36] A/)-Revenant: Aside from Han's presence.
[16.05.2024 22:33:37] A/)-Adonis: Negative.
[16.05.2024 22:33:38] A/)-Revenant: Nothing critical?
[16.05.2024 22:33:38] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I can only hope Ontario is a molten slag heap since she fled to the Xenos there.
[16.05.2024 22:33:48] TFP)-Full.Send: Well,
[16.05.2024 22:33:53] A/)-Revenant: Liberty is already hostile to Han's people, regardless...
[16.05.2024 22:33:57] TFP)-Firebrand: Maybe bits and pieces from me, but nothing that'd be able to blow my cover.
[16.05.2024 22:33:59] A/)-Adonis: Nothing non-critical, either.
[16.05.2024 22:34:00] TFP)-Full.Send: That's what we like to hear.
[16.05.2024 22:34:32] A/)-Adonis: Anything they decide to do over a casual conversation, and reminder of their treaty, would be them once again -
[16.05.2024 22:34:35] A/)-Adonis: going back on their word.
[16.05.2024 22:34:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Any enemy of Manhattan is a friend of mine, at this point.
[16.05.2024 22:34:52] TFP)-Full.Send: That's a little loose, Firebrand.
[16.05.2024 22:35:04] TFP)-Full.Send: The Xenos and Rogues would agree with you on that count.
[16.05.2024 22:35:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Well, with some exceptions. The Xenos for one.
[16.05.2024 22:35:11] A/)-Revenant: Not all enemies of Manhattan are... positive in that regard.
[16.05.2024 22:35:16] A/)-Revenant: The Xenos sold out their own people to the Outcasts.
[16.05.2024 22:35:27] TFP)-Full.Send: Do you have proof of that, Revenant?
[16.05.2024 22:35:29] A/)-Revenant: They would get everyone killed - to be willing slaves of them, just for the illusion of power.
[16.05.2024 22:35:30] A/)-Revenant: Yes.
[16.05.2024 22:35:31] TFP)-Firebrand: They what.
[16.05.2024 22:35:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Prometheus would very much like to see it.
[16.05.2024 22:35:44] TFP)-Firebrand:  .. Those fucking degenerates.
[16.05.2024 22:35:54] A/)-Revenant: I have witnessed De Marco in contact with Morrett.
[16.05.2024 22:36:02] Lazurith: They're an item, aren't they.
[16.05.2024 22:36:06] A/)-Revenant: Morreti.
[16.05.2024 22:36:07] TFP)-Full.Send: Would you be willing to pass that along to Megiddo?
[16.05.2024 22:36:11] A/)-Revenant: Their relationship is irrelevant.
[16.05.2024 22:36:16] Lazurith: Aha, so they ARE together!
[16.05.2024 22:36:18] Lazurith: I knew it.
[16.05.2024 22:36:20] A/)-Revenant: Yes. They are.
[16.05.2024 22:36:26] A/)-Revenant: But... The deals were made with Xenos as a whole.
[16.05.2024 22:36:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Oooh... I hope to god one of my tasking soon is to fuck those Xeno bastards seven ways to sunday, because them almost killing
[16.05.2024 22:37:00] TFP)-Firebrand: my ex was one thing - but this? Oh boy.
[16.05.2024 22:37:03] TFP)-Full.Send: More likely than not, I can assure you.
[16.05.2024 22:37:03] Lazurith: Do they carry STDs?
[16.05.2024 22:37:08] A/)-Revenant:  ...what...
[16.05.2024 22:37:17] TFP)-Full.Send: Very funny.
[16.05.2024 22:37:22] TFP)-Firebrand: [He turns to Lazurith.]
[16.05.2024 22:37:24] A/)-Revenant: De Marco also has a hand in Hemlocke's Rogue pack.
[16.05.2024 22:37:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: That's not something I think any of us need to know.
[16.05.2024 22:37:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Do you have a screw loose?
[16.05.2024 22:37:32] Lazurith: A few.
[16.05.2024 22:37:38] TFP)-Firebrand: Tighten them then.
[16.05.2024 22:37:42] TFP)-Full.Send: De Marco isn't a name I'm familiar with. Some Outcast warlord?
[16.05.2024 22:37:52] A/)-Revenant: Section Eight, the Order cell, seems to be complacent with the idea that the Xenos are utilising Cardamine as a weapon
[16.05.2024 22:38:00] A/)-Revenant: against Liberty's higher profile individuals.
[16.05.2024 22:38:04] Lazurith: I'm too lazy to turn on the gravity actuator right now.
[16.05.2024 22:38:20] A/)-Revenant: De Marco is another 'diplomat' for a family, I'm not too aware of their Don's name.
[16.05.2024 22:38:23] TFP)-Full.Send: From what the Legion knew of Cardamine, I find the Order's willingness to aid in its proliferation concerning.
[16.05.2024 22:38:27] TFP)-Firebrand: God bless it -- What's next, are the Xenos going to be kicking puppies and pissing on babies?
[16.05.2024 22:38:53] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Pretty sure they already do.
[16.05.2024 22:39:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah, that sounds about par for the course.
[16.05.2024 22:39:09] TFP)-Firebrand: I mean, I knew back in my day, they were absolute parasites, but this just makes them about as bad as the Nomads.
[16.05.2024 22:39:36] Lazurith: Ahaha.
[16.05.2024 22:39:38] Lazurith: No, not a chance.
[16.05.2024 22:39:46] Lazurith: Nothing can compare to them. Sorry.
[16.05.2024 22:40:08] A/)-Revenant: Well...
[16.05.2024 22:40:11] TFP)-Firebrand: Oh piss off, boy. You know full well my intent with that statement.
[16.05.2024 22:40:17] Lazurith: Mhmhm.
[16.05.2024 22:40:23] Upalite: Enjoy your reunion. I'm going on tour.
[16.05.2024 22:40:27] Lazurith: Bye.
[16.05.2024 22:40:29] Upalite: Don't go running off again, Laz.
[16.05.2024 22:40:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Be safe.
[16.05.2024 22:40:34] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Fly well.
[16.05.2024 22:40:37] Lazurith: Running off? I just came back!
[16.05.2024 22:40:37] A/)-Revenant: Willing suicide into a genetic decimation is just as bad as parasitic takeover.
[16.05.2024 22:40:38] TFP)-Firebrand: What, with Van Perrson? They need a new Guitarist?
[16.05.2024 22:40:41] A/)-Revenant: Farewell, Upalite.
[16.05.2024 22:41:11] Lazurith: Arghhh. I swear, the SECOND I try to help someone, I... [He groaned and grumbled to himself.]
[16.05.2024 22:41:22] Lazurith: Moving on.
[16.05.2024 22:41:25] A/)-Revenant: What's wrong?
[16.05.2024 22:41:38] Lazurith: Nothing
[16.05.2024 22:41:43] A/)-Revenant: That didn't sound like nothing.
[16.05.2024 22:41:49] Lazurith: Just-- irrelevant right now.
[16.05.2024 22:41:53] Lazurith: Ow.
[16.05.2024 22:41:58] Lazurith: Don't spook me like that.
[16.05.2024 22:42:33] Lazurith: Ahum. Maybe later.
[16.05.2024 22:42:38] A/)-Revenant: Hmm.
[16.05.2024 22:42:57] A/)-Adonis: <:: Do /not/ waste time. Speak. ::>
[16.05.2024 22:42:58] Lazurith: Anyways - how have your people been doing? Handling an entire Interdictor must be difficult.
[16.05.2024 22:43:13] TFP)-Firebrand: It is. I served on one.
[16.05.2024 22:43:48] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: It was fairly routine when we flew for the Insurgency.
[16.05.2024 22:44:05] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: After the blockade run, that routine kind of just stretched across the whole day.
[16.05.2024 22:44:24] Lazurith: Did you keep out of sight in the Independent Worlds?
[16.05.2024 22:44:39] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm starting to see Revenant's point about the boy.
[16.05.2024 22:45:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Irritating mix of hero complex and utter melancholy.
[16.05.2024 22:45:19] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We had to. Liberty still has their people in Coronado, and I don't dare risk Cortez or Magellan.
[16.05.2024 22:45:31] TFP)-Firebrand: Seen that before, both when flying bombers and on the Elsmere.
[16.05.2024 22:45:51] TFP)-Firebrand: Kids like that either nut up or eat shit.
[16.05.2024 22:46:03] TFP)-Firebrand: Usually the latter, and only the former before almost doing the latter.
[16.05.2024 22:46:11] TFP)-Full.Send: Look, Captain, what was your name?
[16.05.2024 22:46:12] Lazurith: Smart move.
[16.05.2024 22:46:33] Lazurith: Coronado is under close watch. The Yellowstone is situated in the orbit of Yuma.
[16.05.2024 22:47:08] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Jacklyn Hewitt. Held rank of Commander before the fall.
[16.05.2024 22:47:24] A/)-Revenant: I wonder if the Xenos hands off data to the LSF.
[16.05.2024 22:47:30] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Not that rank really means much out here.
[16.05.2024 22:47:35] TFP)-Full.Send: I see. Commander Hewitt, if you wish to continue the fight, I advise reaching out to Prometheus command staff.
[16.05.2024 22:47:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, and the Rookies at West Point fuck around on the Mississipi, your point?
[16.05.2024 22:48:09] Lazurith: My point being, that delivering an Interdictor near it could cause them a little trouble.
[16.05.2024 22:48:13] TFP)-Full.Send: It's unlikely we can service your ship at this time, given our current operational status, but we can use all the manpower -
[16.05.2024 22:48:14] Lazurith: Might get tagged, tracked, recognized.
[16.05.2024 22:48:15] TFP)-Full.Send: we can get.
[16.05.2024 22:48:33] EmptyPoint died to [KNF]IKN-Kirifuri (72%)
[16.05.2024 22:49:11] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I'll try and get a ship-wide meetup to talk it over. Some of the older guys might not want to get tangled up in-
[16.05.2024 22:49:16] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed. Maybe the Technocrats can take a peek at that thing's powerplant, see if they can get it running right enough to
[16.05.2024 22:49:17] INS-Procyon: -fighting again.
[16.05.2024 22:49:25] TFP)-Firebrand: be something resembling combat effective.
[16.05.2024 22:49:48] Lazurith: I believe it would probably be wise for the techies to see if there's even enough space to accomodate an Interdictor.
[16.05.2024 22:49:52] Lazurith: Things're getting crowded.
[16.05.2024 22:49:57] A/)-Revenant: I'd be careful if you need to service with the Junkers.
[16.05.2024 22:50:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Powerplant or no isn't the point. You've seen Valravn. It's not exactly overflowing with drydocks.
[16.05.2024 22:50:03] A/)-Revenant: They're known for stealing bits and selling out people./
[16.05.2024 22:50:26] A/)-Revenant: As far as production goes, there's a few spots in the docks.
[16.05.2024 22:50:32] Lazurith: Are you sure...?
[16.05.2024 22:50:35] Lazurith: There's...
[16.05.2024 22:50:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Lazurith is right about that one point, shit's getting crowded. Especially with the Abaddon back.
[16.05.2024 22:50:40] Lazurith: There's a LOT of ships, okay.
[16.05.2024 22:50:48] A/)-Revenant: Lazurith, no offence, but you're not the quartermaster, are you.
[16.05.2024 22:50:53] Lazurith: No, but I have a pair of eyes.
[16.05.2024 22:51:00] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Abaddon? The Osiris?
[16.05.2024 22:51:18] A/)-Revenant: Space-rigging is a possibility. You swap projects in and out.
[16.05.2024 22:51:22] A/)-Revenant: You don't work on all things at once.
[16.05.2024 22:51:24] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah. Damien fucking Moreno came rolling in from the deep barrier the other day. Ad-hoc honor guard flew escort.
[16.05.2024 22:51:32] A/)-Revenant: Moreno?
[16.05.2024 22:51:38] A/)-Revenant: That... takes me back.
[16.05.2024 22:51:45] TFP)-Full.Send: They look like shit. Both Moreno and the Abaddon.
[16.05.2024 22:51:51] TFP)-Full.Send: He's in his 80s now.
[16.05.2024 22:51:54] A/)-Revenant: I'm certain that man only runs on rage.
[16.05.2024 22:52:05] Lazurith: Just like you.
[16.05.2024 22:52:09] A/)-Revenant: I don't run on rage.
[16.05.2024 22:52:16] Lazurith: Maybe wine. But also rage.
[16.05.2024 22:52:20] A/)-Revenant: Not at all.
[16.05.2024 22:52:24] Lazurith: Uh huh.
[16.05.2024 22:52:25] TFP)-Full.Send: Lazurith, I understand the irony given that we're the ones with swords on our ships,
[16.05.2024 22:52:30] TFP)-Full.Send: But don't cut yourself on that edge.
[16.05.2024 22:52:31] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Wonder how he found it. Must've been quite the sight.
[16.05.2024 22:52:45] TFP)-Full.Send: Found it? He was aboard during the evac.
[16.05.2024 22:52:46] A/)-Revenant: My operating power is spite and pushing for success.
[16.05.2024 22:52:46] TFP)-Firebrand: Jesus christ, an Osiris. Those one of the original first gens? From back around 800?
[16.05.2024 22:52:57] Lazurith: Edge? I'm just being witty, friend.
[16.05.2024 22:53:03] Lazurith: Like always.
[16.05.2024 22:53:05] A/)-Revenant: That's not really wit though, is it.
[16.05.2024 22:53:10] TFP)-Full.Send: Not so sure myself. It has a history. That ship was originally with Auxo before it made its way into the Legion's hands.
[16.05.2024 22:53:13] TFP)-Full.Send: And then the Insurgency.
[16.05.2024 22:53:17] Lazurith: I wasn't trying to offend.
[16.05.2024 22:53:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, Wit - so much wit you should get your ass a pizza cutter.
[16.05.2024 22:53:28] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I recall it now!
[16.05.2024 22:53:30] Lazurith: What...?
[16.05.2024 22:53:38] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Have you found any others? I imagine there were quite a few from that callout we never got.
[16.05.2024 22:53:45] A/)-Revenant: The Osiris was originally a part of the Order Overwatch.
[16.05.2024 22:53:48] TFP)-Full.Send: West made contact. Incursus lives.
[16.05.2024 22:53:48] A/)-Revenant: That one in particular.
[16.05.2024 22:53:50] A/)-Revenant: I remember now.
[16.05.2024 22:53:57] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Thank Christ..
[16.05.2024 22:54:06] TFP)-Full.Send: She has a few Warhammer and Gladius assets with her, but they're fucked to shit.
[16.05.2024 22:54:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Who the hell doesn't have an Osiris these days..
[16.05.2024 22:54:24] TFP)-Firebrand: I wouldn't be surprised if the IMG had one.
[16.05.2024 22:54:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Incursus /is/ one of the old ones, Firebrand. That ship.. are you familiar with the original Spyglass-class?
[16.05.2024 22:54:54] TFP)-Firebrand: Eeeh.. Not exactly. I've heard about em, but never saw one in person.
[16.05.2024 22:55:14] TFP)-Full.Send: The Legion was founded around it. The Ragnarok. Goofy name for a Libertonian warship.
[16.05.2024 22:55:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I heard about that final square-up in Magellan. I'm surprised she kept that many together.
[16.05.2024 22:55:32] TFP)-Full.Send: This was the closing days of the Colony wars. They turned in that battlegroup's CO, Drake Thastus.
[16.05.2024 22:55:39] TFP)-Firebrand: Keep in mind. I worked with Sec Fleet, 19th Independent - we mainly got sent into Bretonia with the occasional relieve.. only
[16.05.2024 22:55:46] TFP)-Firebrand: to sit on our ass and guard the Alaska corridor.
[16.05.2024 22:55:59] TFP)-Full.Send: He slipped the Ragnarok and its retinue out to Magellan. Later on, the Ragnarok - after extensive study - was torn apart.
[16.05.2024 22:56:14] TFP)-Full.Send: We traded the Spyglass scanning array to The Order in exchange for the Incursus.
[16.05.2024 22:56:22] TFP)-Full.Send: She's an old girl.
[16.05.2024 22:56:34] TFP)-Full.Send: Sunrise, Incursus, and Ven'Gyr. The oldest of the old.
[16.05.2024 22:57:00] TFP)-Firebrand: The Order. Dad told me stories about his service during the Colony Wars. It was nuts.
[16.05.2024 22:57:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Shadow of what they once were. The Order fell low.
[16.05.2024 22:57:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yep.
[16.05.2024 22:57:27] Lazurith: Good thing the techies exist.
[16.05.2024 22:57:34] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah. It is.
[16.05.2024 22:57:35] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Any word on the Sunrise? We broke off contact with her last, and I know she survived the blockade.
[16.05.2024 22:57:38] Lazurith: So that they can do what they do, minus the war crimes.
[16.05.2024 22:58:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Moreno reported Sunrise was with Abaddon two years ago, but they were separated. It at least narrows our search radius.
[16.05.2024 22:58:14] A/)-Revenant: Considering they have massacred civilians under the guise of "they're possible infectees" - it's not a great idea to
[16.05.2024 22:58:21] A/)-Revenant: put them high up on some pedalstool of 'praise'
[16.05.2024 22:58:24] TFP)-Full.Send: News regarding Ven'Gyr is more grim.
[16.05.2024 22:58:34] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I know. Fucking Crayter..
[16.05.2024 22:58:44] A/)-Revenant: Did they blow it up?
[16.05.2024 22:58:49] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Plastered that news article over every station in the Taus.
[16.05.2024 22:58:49] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo has a plan. Some kind of big op. But mum is the word on that so far.
[16.05.2024 22:59:00] TFP)-Full.Send: I wish. They have her. They have our girl.
[16.05.2024 22:59:04] A/)-Revenant: Oh.
[16.05.2024 22:59:05] A/)-Revenant: Oh no.
[16.05.2024 22:59:11] TFP)-Full.Send: And they can't even figure out how to get her moving again, is the funniest fucking part.
[16.05.2024 22:59:19] A/)-Revenant: Saaaay...
[16.05.2024 22:59:22] TFP)-Full.Send: Ven'Gyr was always falling apart. That ship needs Legion techs.
[16.05.2024 22:59:23] A/)-Revenant: Anyone feeling nostalgic again?
[16.05.2024 22:59:28] TFP)-Full.Send: Always.
[16.05.2024 22:59:31] A/)-Revenant: Up for another run of pinching from drydocks?
[16.05.2024 22:59:33] A/)-Revenant: Heheheh.
[16.05.2024 22:59:50] TFP)-Full.Send: Coordinate with Megiddo on that one. Like I said, whispers about that big op.
[16.05.2024 23:00:06] A/)-Revenant: Mmm. Fickle circumstances. Navy all around.
[16.05.2024 23:00:11] A/)-Revenant: Outcasts are not too happy either.
[16.05.2024 23:00:13] TFP)-Full.Send: "He" considers Ven'Gyr's recovery imperative. I can't say why, though.
[16.05.2024 23:00:19] A/)-Revenant: That's...
[16.05.2024 23:00:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah - I remember hearing how you Technocrats would literally make Order ships disappear, and somehow reappear with a purple
[16.05.2024 23:00:20] A/)-Revenant: Odd.
[16.05.2024 23:00:26] TFP)-Firebrand: coat of paint.
[16.05.2024 23:00:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Manticore is out there somewhere, and we have Incursus. Both in better shape than Ven'Gyr, to be certain.
[16.05.2024 23:00:41] TFP)-Firebrand: Whispers I'd hear at the bar between LSF guys, but still. Shit's nuts.
[16.05.2024 23:00:47] A/)-Revenant: Are you sure it's a good idea to get so many large assets back? Well - I mean - you could retrofit them into one super
[16.05.2024 23:00:51] A/)-Revenant: station for a hidden base of ops.
[16.05.2024 23:00:54] A/)-Revenant: Rather than flying them all.
[16.05.2024 23:01:03] A/)-Revenant: Large vessels, large emissions, easier detection.
[16.05.2024 23:01:13] TFP)-Full.Send: I think the idea is to slip them away somewhere safe and repair them piecemeal.
[16.05.2024 23:01:25] Lazurith: Wrong move. It would be best to move the whole retinue together in a nomad fleet of sorts.
[16.05.2024 23:01:28] TFP)-Firebrand: It'd be wise for us to have a battlegroup stationed in some sort of cloud, work on them like Revenant said, do it in EVA.
[16.05.2024 23:01:31] TFP)-Full.Send: We certainly don't have the crew or resources to maintain them all right now.
[16.05.2024 23:01:33] Lazurith: Exactly.
[16.05.2024 23:01:37] A/)-Revenant: The issue with that is supplies and upkeep.
[16.05.2024 23:01:50] A/)-Revenant: Resources for repairs are expensive.
[16.05.2024 23:01:50] TFP)-Full.Send: It's going to be slow going. We know that.
[16.05.2024 23:01:54] A/)-Revenant: Unless you plan to keep on stealing parts.
[16.05.2024 23:02:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Depends from who.
[16.05.2024 23:02:21] Lazurith: You would have to nab military grade replacement parts from all over the damn place.
[16.05.2024 23:02:27] TFP)-Firebrand: Sadly when you start stealing ships from people who own them, 9 times out of ten, fixing them up isn't going to work out easy.
[16.05.2024 23:02:43] Lazurith: Besides, odds are, the Junkers probably beat you to it already by now.
[16.05.2024 23:02:46] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: A good thing Liberty's throwing the Navy at every problem, then.
[16.05.2024 23:03:27] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: And credits can solve that Junker issue.
[16.05.2024 23:03:48] Lazurith: Not if they steal vital components before handing you a scam.
[16.05.2024 23:03:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, and if they're anything like when we fought the gauls, they hope it sticks, and don't bother with strategy.
[16.05.2024 23:04:16] Lazurith: Gotta be careful when dealing with the devil, is all.
[16.05.2024 23:04:19] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah yes, just what I always wanted, some Samura Astrionics slapjob for a Quantum AESA search and track radar..
[16.05.2024 23:04:32] TFP)-Full.Send: We maintained our own ships. We know how to make those parts, that's not the issue.
[16.05.2024 23:04:32] TFP)-Firebrand: instead of the Ageira one, y'know, that was put on the damned thing when she was built.
[16.05.2024 23:04:37] TFP)-Full.Send: Money and facilities and personnel are.
[16.05.2024 23:04:40] A/)-Revenant: Oh. Erhm.
[16.05.2024 23:04:44] A/)-Revenant: I do need someone for a favour.
[16.05.2024 23:04:46] A/)-Revenant: I will be paying.
[16.05.2024 23:04:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Mm?
[16.05.2024 23:04:50] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I imagine having West and her techs will only help.
[16.05.2024 23:04:56] A/)-Revenant: I need someone to find a smuggler to deliver some medicine shipments to Erie.
[16.05.2024 23:05:00] A/)-Revenant: I'll pay 750,000 credits.
[16.05.2024 23:05:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, I'd sooner grind my ass on sandpaper than trust a Junker to change a lightbulb without stealing the fucker.
[16.05.2024 23:05:22] TFP)-Full.Send: Frankly that's already in the works regardless. I can make sure it happens. Don't need the money.
[16.05.2024 23:05:30] TFP)-Firebrand: I can sort that out.
[16.05.2024 23:05:41] A/)-Revenant: Well, it'll cover the costs of grabbing the medical shipment, but there's a specific one you need to grab
[16.05.2024 23:05:43] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, it's your first day here.
[16.05.2024 23:05:45] A/)-Revenant: from er... The Freeport in Tau-29
[16.05.2024 23:05:45] Lazurith: I'm pretty much an independent.
[16.05.2024 23:05:59] Lazurith: Just give me the assignment. Look no further.
[16.05.2024 23:06:16] A/)-Revenant: You cannot do the run, for you are on a watchlist, but you can find a person to do the run.
[16.05.2024 23:06:24] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah. Right.
[16.05.2024 23:06:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Understandable.
[16.05.2024 23:06:40] Lazurith: What? On whose watchlist am I on?
[16.05.2024 23:06:41] TFP)-Firebrand: Sorry, just offering to assist.
[16.05.2024 23:06:44] A/)-Revenant: The LSF's.
[16.05.2024 23:06:46] TFP)-Firebrand: I am, boy.
[16.05.2024 23:06:49] Lazurith: You don't know that.
[16.05.2024 23:06:52] A/)-Revenant: I do.
[16.05.2024 23:06:57] Lazurith: Do you have proof?
[16.05.2024 23:06:57] A/)-Revenant: Because you're flying around with the same name.
[16.05.2024 23:06:59] A/)-Revenant: The same attitude.
[16.05.2024 23:07:02] A/)-Revenant: It's not rocket science.
[16.05.2024 23:07:11] A/)-Revenant: You'll draw attention to the village I need the deliveryt sent to.
[16.05.2024 23:07:26] Lazurith: I'm not using this thing for deliveries, you dingbat.
[16.05.2024 23:07:28] Lazurith: I'm not that stupid.
[16.05.2024 23:07:33] A/)-Revenant: Whatever the case, finding a runner shouldn't be hard.
[16.05.2024 23:07:42] Lazurith: I... /literally/ have a dedicated vessel for this sort of stuff.
[16.05.2024 23:07:48] Lazurith: C'mon.
[16.05.2024 23:07:51] TFP)-Firebrand: There no nuggets in your ranks that can take the job?
[16.05.2024 23:07:54] Lazurith: I did this before.
[16.05.2024 23:07:59] A/)-Revenant: Huh.
[16.05.2024 23:08:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Revenant, I need a word with you in private.
[16.05.2024 23:08:01] A/)-Revenant: Thought you lost it.
[16.05.2024 23:08:05] Lazurith: Levan found it.
[16.05.2024 23:08:17] Lazurith: It ended up in... Ithaca... for... some reason.
[16.05.2024 23:08:24] A/)-Revenant: Interesting.
[16.05.2024 23:08:32] A/)-Revenant: Maybe your ship wanted to go on out for walkies.
[16.05.2024 23:08:34] Lazurith: Some asshole ID-spoofed my hatch locks.
[16.05.2024 23:08:43] A/)-Revenant: And, of course, Full Send.
[16.05.2024 23:08:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Last time I saw a ship go out for Walkies, it decided Zone-21 was a lovely resting place.
[16.05.2024 23:08:51] A/)-Revenant: I do need to get going soon, I have to head out to a meeting.
[16.05.2024 23:08:55] TFP)-Firebrand: Poor thing.
[16.05.2024 23:09:01] Lazurith: Are you going to forward me the details?
[16.05.2024 23:09:35] Lazurith: I kind of just halved my pockets over a Crayterian, I need to rebuild my fiscal reserves somehow.
[16.05.2024 23:14:06] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Gonna guess that's a no.
[16.05.2024 23:15:08] Subversion: Greetings.
[16.05.2024 23:15:34] A/)-Revenant: Freelancer.
[16.05.2024 23:15:55] Subversion: Ah, I was wondering where you'd gone.
[16.05.2024 23:15:56] Lazurith: Oh, hi Mark.
[16.05.2024 23:16:09] Subversion: Hey, Lazurith.
[16.05.2024 23:16:13] A/)-Revenant: Oh yeah, that is his name, isn't it...
[16.05.2024 23:16:17] Subversion: Correct.
[16.05.2024 23:16:21] A/)-Revenant: I forgot and accidentally remembered you as Peter.
[16.05.2024 23:16:22] A/)-Revenant: Whoops.
[16.05.2024 23:16:34] Subversion: Who's Peter?
[16.05.2024 23:16:38] A/)-Revenant: You, apparently.
[16.05.2024 23:16:45] Subversion: Must have been one of my crewmates.
[16.05.2024 23:16:55] A/)-Revenant: No, just misremembering.
[16.05.2024 23:17:18] Lazurith: I'm Peter. I legally changed my name last night.
[16.05.2024 23:18:02] Lazurith:  ...That was a joke. You wouldn't caught me dead with that name. No offense to any Peter...s... in the area.
[16.05.2024 23:18:16] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I think I have a Peter down in engineering.
[16.05.2024 23:18:21] Subversion: Peter Lazurith... oh wait.
[16.05.2024 23:18:30] Lazurith: That's not my last name!
[16.05.2024 23:18:33] A/)-Revenant: Heheheh.
[16.05.2024 23:19:40] TFP)-Firebrand: Lazurith Peter.
[16.05.2024 23:19:51] Lazurith: No.
[16.05.2024 23:19:58] TFP)-Firebrand: [He laughs.]

[16.05.2024 23:25:52] IN|G-INS-Abaddon: CO: Work is slated. We came to investigate the commotion in the meantime.
[16.05.2024 23:26:39] Subversion: Quite a party of insurgents, it seems.
[16.05.2024 23:26:59] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Sure looks like it.
[16.05.2024 23:27:20] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Definitely not what I expected when we transited the jump hole.
[16.05.2024 23:27:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Legionnaires, Subversion, not Insurgents.
[16.05.2024 23:27:42] TFP)-Full.Send: We aren't Knight's people.
[16.05.2024 23:27:47] Subversion: Pardon, I got it confused.
[16.05.2024 23:28:54] TFP)-Full.Send: Suppose it's an easy distinction to miss after what was done to us.
[16.05.2024 23:29:15] IN|G-INS-Abaddon: Warren: Seems like we're both caught off guard. I can't say we were expecting an Interdictor.
[16.05.2024 23:29:26] A/)-Revenant: Knight is a horrendous person.
[16.05.2024 23:29:46] A/)-Revenant: I recall her trying to murder me for trying to protect Vincent back in Kepler, he was getting too close to the anomaly.
[16.05.2024 23:29:49] Subversion: I've heard West disagrees with Knight.
[16.05.2024 23:29:52] A/)-Revenant: Told him to come away.
[16.05.2024 23:29:56] TFP)-Firebrand: I've heard only whispers about Knight.
[16.05.2024 23:29:57] TFP)-Full.Send: Three years of her calling the shots did some terrible things to us.
[16.05.2024 23:30:04] A/)-Revenant: She erm...
[16.05.2024 23:30:07] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Everyone who Knight left behind disagreed with Knight.
[16.05.2024 23:30:14] TFP)-Firebrand: What all has she done to deserve a death wish, might I ask?
[16.05.2024 23:30:20] A/)-Revenant: It tells a tremendous amount how she /abandoned/ her colleagues.
[16.05.2024 23:30:23] A/)-Revenant: To run off to the Xenos.
[16.05.2024 23:30:26] A/)-Revenant: Who were murdering people.
[16.05.2024 23:30:27] TFP)-Full.Send: How much do you know of the Commonwealth, Firebrand?
[16.05.2024 23:30:34] Subversion: Was it the reason the Navy finally got to Vespucci?
[16.05.2024 23:30:35] A/)-Revenant: Letting them die and suffer under bombardments of Liberty.
[16.05.2024 23:30:42] Lazurith: Self preservation is paramount for some people.
[16.05.2024 23:30:44] Lazurith: At any cost.
[16.05.2024 23:30:55] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: West suspected some kind of interior sabotage, but it was mostly a theory.
[16.05.2024 23:30:57] A/)-Revenant: She claims to be a leader but betrays everyone she was with.
[16.05.2024 23:31:15] TFP)-Firebrand: Sadly, not much. I served most of my time in the Navy in Bretonia, only engaging the Commonwealth on ambushes every now and
[16.05.2024 23:31:20] TFP)-Firebrand: again in the Borderworlds.
[16.05.2024 23:31:22] A/)-Revenant: I imagine there might have been sellouts. Credits can convince a lot.
[16.05.2024 23:31:26] IN|G-INS-Abaddon: Warren: Ever since she showed up, things went downhill fast. We were taking bets as to who she bribed in The Commonwealth-
[16.05.2024 23:31:27] A/)-Revenant: I suspect also the Gaians might have had a hand.
[16.05.2024 23:31:29] IN|G-INS-Abaddon: to do us all dirty.
[16.05.2024 23:31:31] TFP)-Full.Send: Gather 'round and let an old Legionnaire tell a story.
[16.05.2024 23:31:55] TFP)-Full.Send: I was a Star Captain. Legion Spec Ops.
[16.05.2024 23:32:22] TFP)-Full.Send: West stationed me on Anaheim - Cali Minor - to work the growing colonies there. Make sure they came out sympathetic to the -
[16.05.2024 23:32:25] TFP)-Full.Send: Commonwealth.
[16.05.2024 23:32:48] Lazurith: We have a snowman among us.
[16.05.2024 23:32:49] TFP)-Full.Send: While I was planetside, the Navy rolled into Bering, ready to drop the hammer on Battlegroup Harmony. Knight's people.
[16.05.2024 23:33:05] Lazurith: Sorry - it's just Denver slang. Go on.
[16.05.2024 23:33:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Interesting. Undermine Liberty under their noses. Ballsy, but not dumb. I like it.
[16.05.2024 23:33:13] TFP)-Full.Send: So the Legion, against the Commonwealth's orders, went to help. Couldn't leave fellow revolutionaries behind.
[16.05.2024 23:33:24] TFP)-Full.Send: Hearts in the right place. Minds maybe not.
[16.05.2024 23:33:27] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I recall some of this...
[16.05.2024 23:33:44] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, Harmony.. Harm many, harm many, oh love.
[16.05.2024 23:33:51] TFP)-Full.Send: The Legion lost a lot of good men during that op. Good men, good ships. Bering and Hudson are strewn with wrecks.
[16.05.2024 23:34:05] TFP)-Firebrand: Old secfleet jokes aside, continue.
[16.05.2024 23:34:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Harmony? Barely a scratch.
[16.05.2024 23:34:06] IN|G-INS-Abaddon: Warren: We're going to limp our way back to port. Seems things are under control.
[16.05.2024 23:34:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Understood Abaddon, safe flight.
[16.05.2024 23:34:32] TFP)-Full.Send: So these Harmony fucks, this pirate queen of Bering, Knight,
[16.05.2024 23:34:47] TFP)-Full.Send: When they get to Vespucci, they turn their guns on the Commonwealth. Order its dissolution.
[16.05.2024 23:35:04] TFP)-Full.Send: Legion is in a bad spot. West has no choice but to capitulate, or the whole movement dies then and there.
[16.05.2024 23:35:22] TFP)-Full.Send: They killed Ravager, one of our oldest ships. I'm sure you saw it many times, Revenant.
[16.05.2024 23:35:39] TFP)-Full.Send: All the legitimacy we worked to build died that day.
[16.05.2024 23:36:01] TFP)-Full.Send: I've done a lot of nasty shit. I have plenty of blood on my hands.
[16.05.2024 23:36:14] TFP)-Full.Send: But gun to my head, if someone told me to define evil,
[16.05.2024 23:36:20] TFP)-Full.Send: Her name would be the first thing out of my lips.
[16.05.2024 23:36:47] TFP)-Full.Send: We - Task Force Prometheus - are what remains. We're the Legion. We carry the flame true.
[16.05.2024 23:37:07] TFP)-Firebrand: Jesus. Manipulative and a Xeno-sucking bitch.
[16.05.2024 23:37:14] A/)-Revenant: [sigh]
[16.05.2024 23:37:17] TFP)-Full.Send: We're going to get her.
[16.05.2024 23:37:21] A/)-Revenant: Kindness, turned against others.
[16.05.2024 23:37:26] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm not gonna feel guilty canoeing her ass.
[16.05.2024 23:37:27] A/)-Revenant: You saved someone... and this is how they repay you.
[16.05.2024 23:37:36] A/)-Revenant: I know what that feels like, all too well.
[16.05.2024 23:37:43] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: She did it to the LSF, then to the Unioners, then to us.
[16.05.2024 23:37:47] TFP)-Full.Send: The Commonwealth knew better. I wish West had, too. Not that she doesn't have her regrets.
[16.05.2024 23:37:54] TFP)-Full.Send: Her heart was in the right place.
[16.05.2024 23:38:05] A/)-Revenant: I never saw eye to eye with West, she was more of a fighter, someone to push to the battle, but not a manager.
[16.05.2024 23:38:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Bet you she'd help an old granny across the skyway and leave her to get smeared across a transport half way.
[16.05.2024 23:38:18] A/)-Revenant: There's not much she could have done.
[16.05.2024 23:38:30] TFP)-Full.Send: So, ah, I'm in this frozen fucking hellhole trying to swing people to a cause which uh..
[16.05.2024 23:38:38] TFP)-Firebrand: is now eating shit.
[16.05.2024 23:38:41] TFP)-Full.Send: Yeah.
[16.05.2024 23:38:49] TFP)-Full.Send: So I laid low. Bided my time.
[16.05.2024 23:38:55] A/)-Revenant: Rebirth it, renew the energy. You have lot of people bleeding and hurting over Erie.
[16.05.2024 23:38:57] TFP)-Full.Send: Four years on Anaheim.
[16.05.2024 23:39:00] A/)-Revenant: They share similar feelings.
[16.05.2024 23:39:01] A/)-Revenant: But...
[16.05.2024 23:39:12] A/)-Revenant: The Xenos are trying to subvert these poor people into their suicidal doctrine.
[16.05.2024 23:39:15] Sgt.Kenichi.Yamada died to GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru. (69%)
[16.05.2024 23:39:32] TFP)-Full.Send: They are. And that's why I want to know about them selling out to the Outcasts.
[16.05.2024 23:39:35] A/)-Revenant: It sincerely concerns me how the Order just... supplies them, enables them, /and/ disregards their efforts with the Outcasts.
[16.05.2024 23:39:36] TFP)-Full.Send: That's an angle we can work.
[16.05.2024 23:39:44] TFP)-Firebrand: It's the age old stupid game of racial superiority for you.
[16.05.2024 23:39:45] A/)-Revenant: Mmm. I'd have to dig up old-old data logs.
[16.05.2024 23:39:54] TFP)-Full.Send: Please, do that for an old Legionnaire?
[16.05.2024 23:39:58] A/)-Revenant: I'd need time.
[16.05.2024 23:40:02] A/)-Revenant: And I'm due some er...
[16.05.2024 23:40:03] TFP)-Firebrand: Stupid prize turns out to be that down the line you look more like inbreeders than anything resembling 'superior'.
[16.05.2024 23:40:11] A/)-Revenant: I need to be somewhere, and I'll be gone for a while.
[16.05.2024 23:40:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Say, Freelancer, what do you make of all that?
[16.05.2024 23:40:28] TFP)-Full.Send: I only ask because, well. Your choice in ship.
[16.05.2024 23:40:29] A/)-Revenant: I'll get Rascal on the task.
[16.05.2024 23:40:41] A/)-Revenant: Mark was an ex-Insurgent, well... He wasn't a seppie.
[16.05.2024 23:41:19] Subversion: Y'see, I had to make a decision once the Navy pounded Vespucci.
[16.05.2024 23:41:23] Lazurith: What? Who?
[16.05.2024 23:41:42] Lazurith: Oh. Mark, right.
[16.05.2024 23:42:03] Subversion: I was left with this aging rig, and I had to survive.
[16.05.2024 23:43:09] 2024-05-16 23:43:22 SMT : TFP)-Full.Send is attempting to disconnect from the server
[16.05.2024 23:44:36] TFP)-Firebrand: Well.. my CO just went dark.
[16.05.2024 23:44:53] A/)-Revenant: Wakey, wakey.
[16.05.2024 23:45:17] TFP)-Full.Send: Contact, thirteen clicks and closing. Rogue IFF.
[16.05.2024 23:45:26] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: This wasn't expected..
[16.05.2024 23:45:33] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Another oldie.
[16.05.2024 23:45:35] TFP)-Full.Send: Juneau, cut your engines please.
[16.05.2024 23:45:36] A/)-Revenant: Not a worry.
[16.05.2024 23:45:37] Lazurith: A rogue.
[16.05.2024 23:45:39] Lazurith: I'm out of here.
[16.05.2024 23:45:49] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Do we look like in fighting condition?
[16.05.2024 23:45:55] TFP)-Full.Send: A Hel? It's been ten years since I've seen one of those.
[16.05.2024 23:45:56] A/)-Revenant: I doubt they're here to cause trouble.
[16.05.2024 23:45:59] A/)-Revenant: I wouldn't worry about it.
[16.05.2024 23:46:06] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We just got jumped by the damn Navy and, Jacksons dead, and now this?
[16.05.2024 23:46:07] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Not a name I recognize, but a ship I sure do.
[16.05.2024 23:46:35] Lazurith: Are you in cahoots with Hemlocke?
[16.05.2024 23:46:38] TFP)-Full.Send: Look, I don't take kindly to Rogues, but get your shit patched up and we'll talk.
[16.05.2024 23:46:56] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, let's see the Juneau in.
[16.05.2024 23:47:08] A/)-Revenant: As long as they're not here to cause trouble, I don't see why there's going to be a problem.
[16.05.2024 23:47:12] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: No, we're not with Hemlocke. Most of us weren't 'Rogues' until years ago.
[16.05.2024 23:47:20] Lazurith: Ah. I see...
[16.05.2024 23:47:22] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We came to drop our wounded for care.
[16.05.2024 23:47:25] TFP)-Full.Send: No? Now that's interesting.
[16.05.2024 23:47:33] TFP)-Full.Send: Drop your wounded. We'll talk after.
[16.05.2024 23:47:52] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Freeport-control, have a mooring port ready. Got a big one coming in.
[16.05.2024 23:48:17] A/)-Revenant: Need anymore words, Full Send?
[16.05.2024 23:48:21] A/)-Revenant: I'm going off for my appointment.
[16.05.2024 23:48:24] TFP)-Firebrand: Got it.
[16.05.2024 23:48:28] Lazurith: I'm also leaving. I have a job to do.
[16.05.2024 23:48:44] TFP)-Full.Send: Words? No, but it's Mason Rialto. No need for the callsign.
[16.05.2024 23:48:46] Subversion: Who's in charge of that task force, I presume?
[16.05.2024 23:48:50] A/)-Revenant: Ah.
[16.05.2024 23:48:51] A/)-Revenant: Well.
[16.05.2024 23:48:52] TFP)-Full.Send: Callsign is for the enemy's benefit. Strike a bit of fear.
[16.05.2024 23:48:53] A/)-Revenant: See you, Mason.
[16.05.2024 23:48:58] A/)-Revenant: Watch yourself around Subversion.
[16.05.2024 23:48:59] TFP)-Full.Send: Be safe.
[16.05.2024 23:49:02] A/)-Revenant: Incase he sells out to the Xenos.
[16.05.2024 23:49:04] TFP)-Firebrand: Noted.
[16.05.2024 23:49:14] TFP)-Firebrand: I'll delete his ass if he does.
[16.05.2024 23:49:14] A/)-Revenant: Don't say anything unless you want it to be known.
[16.05.2024 23:49:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Got reason to believe he would?
[16.05.2024 23:49:25] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Alright..
[16.05.2024 23:49:48] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well.. I'm in charge now.. To clarify, no, we're not typical Rogues, nor by choice.
[16.05.2024 23:49:56] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well, most of the crew thats left anyway.
[16.05.2024 23:50:05] Subversion: Uh, I mean Prometheus.
[16.05.2024 23:50:08] TFP)-Full.Send: That name, Juneau. That's a Libertonian name. The kind of name I'd expect a Navy vessel to bear.
[16.05.2024 23:50:12] TFP)-Firebrand: A Hel-class. Back in my time the Rogues were flying dumpsters with wings on 'em.
[16.05.2024 23:50:24] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: If it's the same Juneau I know, it's one of ours.
[16.05.2024 23:50:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Our leader's name is Megiddo, Mark.
[16.05.2024 23:50:57] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Yours.. You still have an old Insurgency IFF. I thought almost everyone died.
[16.05.2024 23:51:02] Subversion: Unfortunately, my rig isn't suitable for fighting right now.
[16.05.2024 23:51:08] TFP)-Firebrand: This feels like a family reunion. Who brought the potato salad?
[16.05.2024 23:51:09] Subversion: It's literally from the scrapyards.
[16.05.2024 23:51:12] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo is, well.. it's an AI. Digital ghosts of former Legion command staff in an artificial shell.
[16.05.2024 23:51:20] TFP)-Firebrand: They're what..?
[16.05.2024 23:51:37] Lazurith: Mmrh. You're making me long for some fruit salad.
[16.05.2024 23:52:06] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I think we found salad flavored synth paste to buy..
[16.05.2024 23:52:15] TFP)-Firebrand: So you're telling me, my - our CO - is some amalgamation of a bunch of Commonwealth HROs?
[16.05.2024 23:52:29] Lazurith: What the heck is an HRO?
[16.05.2024 23:52:31] TFP)-Full.Send: One of them, anyway.
[16.05.2024 23:52:34] TFP)-Firebrand: High Ranking Officer.
[16.05.2024 23:52:43] TFP)-Full.Send: Megiddo is sharing joint command with Amy West at this time.
[16.05.2024 23:52:52] Subversion: Oh - thank god.
[16.05.2024 23:52:54] Lazurith: He's sharing joints? Dang.
[16.05.2024 23:53:15] TFP)-Firebrand: I had a feeling, closer I get to this neck of the woods, the weirder shit gets. I saw a Nomad out in the distance once while
[16.05.2024 23:53:33] TFP)-Full.Send: Both Megiddo and West thought it too dangerous not to cooperate, given the disperate state of what remains.
[16.05.2024 23:53:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Too easy for us to turn on each other.
[16.05.2024 23:53:46] TFP)-Firebrand: heading back to Bretonia, with a Kusari Gunboat chasing it, blaring La Cucharacha over the guard band.
[16.05.2024 23:53:57] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Blaring what?
[16.05.2024 23:54:13] TFP)-Firebrand: I had to ask my FCO if being in space for so long had made me lose it.
[16.05.2024 23:54:15] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I don't know..
[16.05.2024 23:54:20] Lazurith: It is okay - there is always a quick and easy way to rid yourself of Nomads.
[16.05.2024 23:54:24] TFP)-Full.Send: Were you and Lord Commander West close, Mark?
[16.05.2024 23:54:27] TFP)-Firebrand: Some Corsair music, dates back to Terra.
[16.05.2024 23:54:46] Lazurith: If you ever have to deal with Nomads, there is an incredibly simple thing you can do to get rid of them. Works every time.
[16.05.2024 23:54:51] Lazurith: Just shoot at them until they die!
[16.05.2024 23:54:53] TFP)-Firebrand: What, kiss and make up?
[16.05.2024 23:55:05] Lazurith: We can kiss and make out, if you want.
[16.05.2024 23:55:06] TFP)-Firebrand: Ah, the logical decision.
[16.05.2024 23:55:07] Subversion: I've had some distrust over her regarding evacuation, but when she fought for our side years later in Kansas,
[16.05.2024 23:55:09] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Anyway, is the Juneau holding up? I can't imagine the years have been as nice as they were to us.
[16.05.2024 23:55:12] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm not gay, boy.
[16.05.2024 23:55:13] Lazurith: I mean, I'm available.
[16.05.2024 23:55:15] Lazurith: Damn.
[16.05.2024 23:55:15] Subversion: I finally knew she could be worthy once again.
[16.05.2024 23:55:29] TFP)-Firebrand:  .. Not that I have a problem with them. Just not my MO.
[16.05.2024 23:55:29] Lazurith: Can't blame a guy for trying.
[16.05.2024 23:55:41] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Ehm.. Well.. M-Most of the.. Original crew that escaped is.. dead..
[16.05.2024 23:55:41] TFP)-Full.Send: She's with us. And maybe you should be, too.
[16.05.2024 23:55:56] Subversion: Yeah, I am trying.
[16.05.2024 23:55:56] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Damn.
[16.05.2024 23:56:00] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Jackson was the last of any bridge officers.. But now that he's dead too..
[16.05.2024 23:56:37] TFP)-Full.Send: All these capital vessels coming home to roost and no way to service them. It's a real problem.
[16.05.2024 23:57:05] TFP)-Firebrand: I say we take a couple of the dry dock ports from the Junkers.
[16.05.2024 23:57:18] TFP)-Firebrand: They seem keen on screwing over other people, why not return the favor?
[16.05.2024 23:57:32] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't think we want that heat right now. I understand the sentinment though, believe me.
[16.05.2024 23:57:40] TFP)-Firebrand: You steal my AESA radar, I rip your fucking drydock off the damn station.
[16.05.2024 23:57:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Sounds about fair.
[16.05.2024 23:57:54] TFP)-Firebrand: Maybe take the station too.
[16.05.2024 23:58:02] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well.. We've been receiving repairs from the.. Junkers.. Although theyre mostly.. Scared of the ex-Marines we keep-
[16.05.2024 23:58:04] Cruiser.Juneau: S: Around..
[16.05.2024 23:58:47] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Intimidation only goes so far. We were lucky that a lot of the Zoners we worked with didn't need much.
[16.05.2024 23:58:49] TFP)-Full.Send: So tell me Juneau, you didn't join up with Knight and the Xenos.
[16.05.2024 23:58:58] TFP)-Full.Send: Any interest in declaring for what's left of the Legion?
[16.05.2024 23:59:14] TFP)-Full.Send: Seems like that's what the Procyon will be doing.
[16.05.2024 23:59:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We were.. Originally to join the Discovery in it's mission to hunt down Knight.. But we didn't make it through.. Last-
[16.05.2024 23:59:37] TFP)-Firebrand: We could use all the hands we could get.
[16.05.2024 23:59:40] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: I need to talk with the rest of the crew, but the offer is definitely of interest.
[16.05.2024 23:59:49] Cruiser.Juneau: S: Transmission we got was.. The Discovery being jumped by a Navy blocking force..
[16.05.2024 23:59:55] TFP)-Full.Send: We could use your help finishing the fight.
[17.05.2024 00:01:24] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We.. We were never with the Legion.. Although.. I can count on one hand how many Separatist crew members are left..
[17.05.2024 00:01:42] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: There's only that many left?
[17.05.2024 00:01:56] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Years of fighting off the Navy..
[17.05.2024 00:02:00] TFP)-Full.Send: The way I see it, we're the closest thing left to what you fought for.
[17.05.2024 00:02:13] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeaah.. when Liberty stops fucking around, they make you find out real fast.
[17.05.2024 00:02:17] TFP)-Full.Send: You deemed Knight a traitor, no?
[17.05.2024 00:02:30] TFP)-Firebrand: Though truth be told, it took too long for the Gauls to find out from my experience.
[17.05.2024 00:02:39] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Yeah.. Like I said, we were to be part of the remaining ships to break through and find her..
[17.05.2024 00:02:43] TFP)-Full.Send: I think that commonality is probably enough.
[17.05.2024 00:02:49] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: But.. The Navy stopped us.. Captured the Discovery..
[17.05.2024 00:03:00] TFP)-Full.Send: The Discovery, that was an Overlord if memory serves. Maybe a Monument class.
[17.05.2024 00:03:02] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: They warned us in time.. We waded out the attacks and slipped away..
[17.05.2024 00:04:00] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I.. I'd have to get a decision and.. I'm sorry.. I was never trained to command a ship.. I used to work in gunnery..
[17.05.2024 00:04:15] TFP)-Firebrand: It's all good son.
[17.05.2024 00:04:36] TFP)-Firebrand: Good on you for keeping the thing in one piece for this long.
[17.05.2024 00:04:56] TFP)-Full.Send: What the old man said. You've a ship and a crew. It's grim, but it's not nothing.
[17.05.2024 00:05:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Can't imagine someone with minimal leadership experience lasting this long, but here you are.
[17.05.2024 00:05:31] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Well.. Jackson just died.. Like, an hour ago..
[17.05.2024 00:05:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: He was in charge..
[17.05.2024 00:05:38] TFP)-Firebrand: Also, Old? Gods, I'm in my 30s. But then again, when I wake up I feel like I'm 60.
[17.05.2024 00:05:38] Lazurith: Apologies. My comms were off.
[17.05.2024 00:05:40] TFP)-Full.Send: Fuck.
[17.05.2024 00:05:46] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I.. Managed to get us away.. But that's it..
[17.05.2024 00:06:01] TFP)-Full.Send: My condolences.
[17.05.2024 00:06:14] TFP)-Firebrand: Seconded.
[17.05.2024 00:06:25] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Thirded.
[17.05.2024 00:06:44] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: That's.. Not a word..
[17.05.2024 00:06:50] Lazurith: Fourthed...?
[17.05.2024 00:06:57] TFP)-Firebrand: You should take the sentiment, not the way it's delivered.
[17.05.2024 00:07:00] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: You got the intent, though.
[17.05.2024 00:07:08] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Yeah.. I did..
[17.05.2024 00:07:24] TFP)-Full.Send: I don't think I caught your name by the way.
[17.05.2024 00:08:49] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Of the old crew, I'm what's left in charge.. Sorry. Lieutenant Allison Smith, formerly Insurgent Navy.
[17.05.2024 00:09:02] Lazurith: Aw nuts. You too?
[17.05.2024 00:09:09] TFP)-Firebrand: I can't disclose my name for INFOSEC reasons. But just call me Firebrand.
[17.05.2024 00:09:32] TFP)-Full.Send: Smith, Hewitt. Do you have any pilots aboard? It may be some time before we can field the Juneau and Procyon under our flag.
[17.05.2024 00:09:33] Subversion: At least we're fortunate to be all here.
[17.05.2024 00:09:47] TFP)-Full.Send: But we could use all the pilots we can get. We should be able to scrounge up a gunship or two as well.
[17.05.2024 00:10:10] TFP)-Firebrand: Suffice to say if I had kids like you, I'd be proud.. kind of like my Father was before I retired.
[17.05.2024 00:10:12] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Some of our handimen were fighter pilots.. Navy trained.. Went awol for various reasons..
[17.05.2024 00:10:18] TFP)-Firebrand: Still can't get over that talk.
[17.05.2024 00:11:03] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We had the old internals for a minor docking bay.. Though the fighter inside has been parted away for hull patching..
[17.05.2024 00:11:15] TFP)-Full.Send: We can source strikecraft.
[17.05.2024 00:11:30] TFP)-Full.Send: Prosecutors and Liches, mostly.
[17.05.2024 00:12:06] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Some of the marines we still have aboard had fighter training. A few of them might be interested.
[17.05.2024 00:12:32] TFP)-Full.Send: That's very good to hear.
[17.05.2024 00:12:41] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: It's been years since they've flown sorties, though, so they may need refreshers.
[17.05.2024 00:12:44] TFP)-Firebrand: I've got a old friend, runs a dealership in a part of Manhattan that's got a hole in the planetary defense net.
[17.05.2024 00:13:02] TFP)-Firebrand: I can help hook your guys up with kit like mine if you're interested.
[17.05.2024 00:13:10] TFP)-Full.Send: Training is about the only thing we're not short on.
[17.05.2024 00:13:13] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Most of us have what little passes for.. cruiser control experience.. I.. Was just a warrant officer at one point.. But-
[17.05.2024 00:13:21] TFP)-Full.Send: The Legion has always had the best pilots in Liberty.
[17.05.2024 00:13:24] Cruiser.Juneau: S: The deaths.. Someone had to be in charge.. I kept going up..
[17.05.2024 00:13:29] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We also have a couple of scout fighters in the hangar bay, but they haven't been touched since Magellan.
[17.05.2024 00:14:06] TFP)-Full.Send: Smith, if I can find you counciling services on Valravn, would you be interested in that? Not to presume, it just.
[17.05.2024 00:14:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Sounds like you might need it.
[17.05.2024 00:14:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: I.. The battle was only a few hours ago.. I'm still getting over it.
[17.05.2024 00:14:40] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah. Sounds like you guys have been through hell.
[17.05.2024 00:14:47] Lazurith: Again, are you sure there's enough room for them?
[17.05.2024 00:15:16] TFP)-Full.Send: I already went over tentative plans for how we're handling intake.
[17.05.2024 00:16:14] Lazurith: With all the Gammu on-board... and all the energy management going on... ergh.
[17.05.2024 00:16:22] Lazurith: It's gonna be tight, that's for sure.
[17.05.2024 00:16:35] TFP)-Firebrand: Can I deck him?
[17.05.2024 00:16:36] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: For now.. I can send one of the handimen with.. A fighter we can scrape up from a dead Rogue.
[17.05.2024 00:16:38] Lazurith: Management? I mean rationing.
[17.05.2024 00:16:39] TFP)-Full.Send: The Abaddon limped home with a skeleton crew of 60 odd Legionnaires.
[17.05.2024 00:16:41] TFP)-Full.Send: We have room.
[17.05.2024 00:16:45] TFP)-Full.Send: Mind your own.
[17.05.2024 00:16:47] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We'll.. Operate as we have been for the time being..
[17.05.2024 00:16:50] TFP)-Firebrand: Because that boy's pissing me off.
[17.05.2024 00:17:04] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Until you can accomodate us, anyway..
[17.05.2024 00:17:31] Lazurith: I'm sorry, /we/?
[17.05.2024 00:17:44] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: Theres a lot of people crewing a cruiser..
[17.05.2024 00:17:48] Lazurith: I know what's going on in the place I live in, thank you very much.
[17.05.2024 00:18:02] TFP)-Full.Send: Wish we could.
[17.05.2024 00:18:18] Lazurith: I'm just giving my few credits, is all.
[17.05.2024 00:20:29] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, we should pack it in for now.
[17.05.2024 00:20:44] TFP)-Full.Send: Procyon, Juneau, Subversion. You all know how to reach us.
[17.05.2024 00:20:48] TFP)-Firebrand: Agreed. Any longer in this chair and I'll be able to be sold as one.
[17.05.2024 00:20:51] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: We'll be in touch.
[17.05.2024 00:21:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, on my wing.
[17.05.2024 00:21:03] TFP)-Full.Send: The rest of you, be safe.
[17.05.2024 00:21:12] Lazurith: Buh-bye.
[17.05.2024 00:21:13] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: Juneau, you're more than welcome to keep here at the Freeport.
[17.05.2024 00:21:16] Cruiser.Juneau: Smith: We'll seend one guy over when we can.. And yeah.. Be safe..
[17.05.2024 00:21:17] TFP)-Firebrand: Valravn, Prometheus Firebrand, inbound 2 ship with Full Send.
[17.05.2024 00:21:21] TFP)-Firebrand: Yes sir.
[17.05.2024 00:21:27] INS-Procyon: Hewitt: From the sound of things, you lot could use the rest.
[17.05.2024 00:21:39] Lazurith: Make that three. I don't want to sleep in Invergordon.
[17.05.2024 00:21:58] TFP)-Firebrand: I'm gonna drop a fucking mine on him if he gets any closer.
[17.05.2024 00:22:05] TFP)-Full.Send: Achyls Actual, Star Captain Rialto. Firebrand and I are RTB.
[17.05.2024 00:22:16] Lazurith: I'm innocent.
[17.05.2024 00:22:17] A/)-ACV-Achlys: <:: Affirmed. Monitoring traffic. ::>
[17.05.2024 00:22:23] A/)-ACV-Achlys: <:: Lazurith. ::>
[17.05.2024 00:22:26] TFP)-Full.Send: Consider Juneau a friendly.
[17.05.2024 00:22:33] Lazurith: That's not me. I'm not Lazurith!
[17.05.2024 00:22:35] A/)-ACV-Achlys: <:: You are summoned. ::>
[17.05.2024 00:22:41] Lazurith: God help me.
[17.05.2024 00:22:43] TFP)-Firebrand: Piss off to the Achlys, boy.
[17.05.2024 00:22:47] Lazurith: Fuck off.
[17.05.2024 00:22:53] TFP)-Firebrand: [He laughs.]
[17.05.2024 00:22:56] TFP)-Full.Send: Alright, keep it business.
[17.05.2024 00:22:59] Lazurith: Can't believe I'm helping you people.
[17.05.2024 00:23:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, I get the sentiment, but try to be a little more diplomatic.
[17.05.2024 00:23:43] TFP)-Full.Send: We don't have a lot of friends right now.
[17.05.2024 00:23:54] TFP)-Firebrand: I'll try to. Never was one for that kind of mindset, but I'll try.
[17.05.2024 00:24:00] TFP)-Full.Send: I get it.
[17.05.2024 00:24:20] TFP)-Firebrand: It's just - the boy really gets on me.
[17.05.2024 00:24:21] TFP)-Full.Send: Also, be sure to get yourself a Lich.
[17.05.2024 00:24:34] TFP)-Firebrand: Longsword no good here?
[17.05.2024 00:24:36] TFP)-Full.Send: Longsword is a nice duelist, but it'll fail you in a dogfight.
[17.05.2024 00:24:42] TFP)-Firebrand: Fair point.
[17.05.2024 00:24:55] TFP)-Firebrand: You think I should sell the Broadsword I've got Stashed on Cali Minor?
[17.05.2024 00:25:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Broadsword is a classic, hard to part with.
[17.05.2024 00:25:08] TFP)-Firebrand: Haven't flown snubs in years, keep in mind.
[17.05.2024 00:25:14] TFP)-Full.Send: But,
[17.05.2024 00:25:21] TFP)-Full.Send: I've heard good things about the Lance.
[17.05.2024 00:25:30] TFP)-Firebrand: Know where I can get one?
[17.05.2024 00:25:37] TFP)-Full.Send: Not a clue. Ask a Technocrat.
[17.05.2024 00:25:48] TFP)-Firebrand: Sounds good. My kingdom for my old bomber.
[17.05.2024 00:25:49] TFP)-Full.Send: Oh, Falchion is a decent choice also in lieu of a Lich.
[17.05.2024 00:25:54] TFP)-Firebrand: She flew like a dream.
[17.05.2024 00:25:58] TFP)-Full.Send: But the Lich is very likely the best we've got
[17.05.2024 00:26:06] TFP)-Firebrand: I've seen Lane Hackers flying those. Not half bad.
[17.05.2024 00:26:15] TFP)-Firebrand: The Falchions, I mean.

Linked up with a ship, the Dinner Bell. ..Who names these ships?

Anywho - the guy was another former Legionnaire. Not really much to report as I came in in the midst of Full Send having a chat with him.

Beyond that, not much to report.

[18.05.2024 02:32:05] TFP)-Full.Send: if that matters to you.
[18.05.2024 02:33:07] TFP)-Firebrand: I mean, breathing matters to me, but that's because I don't know the context of all this.
[18.05.2024 02:34:11] Dinner.Bell:  ... We'll see how it goes.
[18.05.2024 02:35:55] TFP)-Full.Send: We will. I'm personally willing to take that leap. For the first time in six years, it feels like the Legion may be back on
[18.05.2024 02:36:02] TFP)-Full.Send: the right track. I don't say that lightly.
[18.05.2024 02:36:08] TFP)-Full.Send: I've served since 814.
[18.05.2024 02:37:42] Dinner.Bell: As I said before, I'll think about it.
[18.05.2024 02:38:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Can you at least answer one honest, and clear question?
[18.05.2024 02:38:21] Dinner.Bell: Give it a try.
[18.05.2024 02:38:52] TFP)-Full.Send: What would you need to see from Prometheus to truly bring you around?
[18.05.2024 02:39:57] TFP)-Firebrand: Guy's ship looks like a Dinner Bell if you squashed the thing if you ask me.
[18.05.2024 02:40:10] TFP)-Full.Send: A bit.
[18.05.2024 02:40:54] Dinner.Bell: Well, for one, I'd like to know under what terms I have to be to become part of your team.
[18.05.2024 02:41:17] Dinner.Bell: And what plans there are in motion.
[18.05.2024 02:41:40] TFP)-Full.Send: What was your rank prior to The Fall? Megiddo has made it a habit of reinstating former Legionnaires at their last known rank.
[18.05.2024 02:43:13] TFP)-Full.Send: That would be the difference between parting with your gunship or not, at least temporarily.
[18.05.2024 02:43:57] TFP)-Full.Send: Beyond that, the typical Legion code of conduct. No piracy, civilians to be protected, nothing extreme. You're not expecting -
[18.05.2024 02:44:09] TFP)-Full.Send: some weird Technocraft implant shit, are you?
[18.05.2024 02:44:55] Dinner.Bell: I served on the secondary fleet, I was facing Ohio's battlegroup before everything went to shit three years ago.
[18.05.2024 02:45:01] TFP)-Firebrand: When I saw Valravn I was expecting you all to tackle me and put a robotic dildo on my arm.
[18.05.2024 02:45:25] Dinner.Bell: I surely was expecting something among those lines, yeah.
[18.05.2024 02:45:32] TFP)-Firebrand: Suffice to say I'm torn between dissappointment and relief.
[18.05.2024 02:46:18] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: Hah! That would've been a sight to see. Nothing crazy but I've been impressed with their level of tech to say the least.
[18.05.2024 02:46:19] Dinner.Bell: *chuckles* Right... Nothing surprising there.
[18.05.2024 02:46:47] Dinner.Bell: I wouldn't trust none of their toys even if I got paid to rely on them.
[18.05.2024 02:48:11] TFP)-Full.Send: No, none of that. Megiddo and West have both been respectful to the bodily of autonomy of Prometheus' soldiers.
[18.05.2024 02:48:38] Dinner.Bell: So, you don't have to deal with none of /them/?
[18.05.2024 02:48:50] TFP)-Full.Send: The Technocrats? They're our patrons, not our overlords.
[18.05.2024 02:49:37] Dinner.Bell:  ... That's good news.
[18.05.2024 02:49:50] TFP)-Full.Send: Not all of us like it. Shit, I'm a little creeped out by them myself. But they've been good to us.
[18.05.2024 02:49:55] TFP)-Firebrand: Yeah, they're nice - if you're friends of their friends. Otherwise they'll scowl at you and tell you to fuck off to this
[18.05.2024 02:50:00] TFP)-Firebrand: floating dumpsterfire.
[18.05.2024 02:50:15] TFP)-Firebrand: That or the other floating dumpsterfire.
[18.05.2024 02:50:19] TFP)-Full.Send: We have our own little wing on Valravn, and we're beginning to move crew over to the Abaddon since she came back so.. empty.
[18.05.2024 02:50:26] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: Well besides the occasional escort, logistics run, or expedition nothing too wild as of late. I prefer to keep out of the
[18.05.2024 02:50:33] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: 'exotic' adventures.
[18.05.2024 02:51:49] Dinner.Bell: You said no piracy... Right.
[18.05.2024 02:51:59] Dinner.Bell: Could I sortie on my own vessels when off duty?
[18.05.2024 02:52:11] TFP)-Full.Send: No piracy, no running cardamine. Small amounts fine for personal use.
[18.05.2024 02:52:23] TFP)-Full.Send: Depends - are you using those vessels for piracy?
[18.05.2024 02:52:34] Dinner.Bell: No.
[18.05.2024 02:52:44] TFP)-Full.Send: Then there won't be any problems there.
[18.05.2024 02:53:01] Dinner.Bell: Great.
[18.05.2024 02:53:47] TFP)-Full.Send: Not to beat a dead horse, but that bit about OS&C earlier.
[18.05.2024 02:54:14] Dinner.Bell: What about it?
[18.05.2024 02:54:16] TFP)-Full.Send: Was that just bitterness, or is there some real reason you'd rather not have civilian corporations operating in Vespucci?
[18.05.2024 02:54:59] Dinner.Bell: It's not the fact they're corporations, but rather what kind of corporations they are.
[18.05.2024 02:55:50] Dinner.Bell: I don't think them particularly deserve Vespucci.
[18.05.2024 02:56:38] Dinner.Bell: And I wouldn't want that lot turning Veracruz into some sort of amusement park for fat-ones and rich sons of bitches.
[18.05.2024 02:57:12] TFP)-Firebrand: Vespucci's tragedy isn't something to be made light of, that much is true in our ranks.
[18.05.2024 02:57:15] TFP)-Full.Send: I understand. And we call it Guadalajara, still.
[18.05.2024 02:57:48] Dinner.Bell: Well... It's evident we didn't deserve it ourselves, let alone them.
[18.05.2024 02:57:58] TFP)-Full.Send: Orbital is a group we worked with closely in the past. We can't do anything without backing, and fire support.
[18.05.2024 02:58:12] TFP)-Full.Send: The Xenos want it for themselves, we believe.
[18.05.2024 02:58:28] Dinner.Bell: Doesn't surprise me.
[18.05.2024 02:58:34] Dinner.Bell: Likewise with the Gaians.
[18.05.2024 02:58:44] TFP)-Full.Send: I'd rather have a coalition of people who actually give a shit about the Legion's and the Commonwealth's ideals working -
[18.05.2024 02:58:48] Dinner.Bell: They're often forgotten, they're still around that area.
[18.05.2024 02:58:55] TFP)-Full.Send: together to repel the Xenos and Gaians, than let them take our home.
[18.05.2024 02:59:49] TFP)-Firebrand: Fucking Xenos can take it from our cold dead hands.
[18.05.2024 02:59:57] Dinner.Bell: *chuckles* You think Orbital cares about Legion's ideals?
[18.05.2024 03:00:33] TFP)-Full.Send: I think they care little enough about the Republic's to provide us with funding and assist us against unwanted elements in the
[18.05.2024 03:00:34] TFP)-Full.Send: region.
[18.05.2024 03:00:45] TFP)-Firebrand: I may have been in these ranks for only a few weeks, but even back then I had a hate boner for those bastards.
[18.05.2024 03:00:53] TFP)-HFFG-Prohibitor: V: I'll be heading back to the Citadel here. You fine folks have a lovely time.
[18.05.2024 03:01:05] TFP)-Full.Send: You sure you want to do that?
[18.05.2024 03:01:05] TFP)-Firebrand: Godspeed.
[18.05.2024 03:01:41] TFP)-Full.Send: Firebrand, I know you've already got one AAR on your plate, but do you mind a second one on this?
[18.05.2024 03:02:02] TFP)-Firebrand: Fuck me.. I guess I can't say no. Still writing up that first one.
[18.05.2024 03:02:21] TFP)-Full.Send: Just append it. Initiate Crowe did wrote up a decent composite report.
[18.05.2024 03:02:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Understood, sir.
[18.05.2024 03:03:28] TFP)-Firebrand: But yes - the bastards tried to kill my wife for being Kusari, and when I sent a wing out to hunt down their boss personally..
[18.05.2024 03:03:51] TFP)-Firebrand: they tried to firebomb my parents' house on Los Angeles.
[18.05.2024 03:04:11] TFP)-Firebrand: So suffice to say, I'm from Manhattan, and I say kill every last Xeno in the sector.
[18.05.2024 03:04:23] Dinner.Bell: The marvels of Liberty.
[18.05.2024 03:05:09] TFP)-Firebrand: Like you wouldn't believe. Honestly, between the Legion and the Xenos, I'd rather leave you all alone, knowing what I know now.
[18.05.2024 03:05:44] Dinner.Bell: Well, you can see I did that for the last few years.
[18.05.2024 03:06:18] TFP)-Full.Send: For the record, Hawthorne,
[18.05.2024 03:06:38] TFP)-Full.Send: Given your position as second fleet and the difficulties that come with obtaining those service records, you may need to part -
[18.05.2024 03:06:49] TFP)-Full.Send: with your gunship, at least flying Prometheus' colors.
[18.05.2024 03:06:59] TFP)-Full.Send: Is that a sacrifice you're willing to accept?
[18.05.2024 03:07:15] Dinner.Bell: I wasn't planning on making the Bell part of Prometheus regardless.
[18.05.2024 03:07:24] TFP)-Full.Send: I see. Something of a home?
[18.05.2024 03:07:28] TFP)-Firebrand: Don't feel too bad, Hawthorne. At least you're not feeling naked not running a battlecruiser like me.
[18.05.2024 03:07:46] Dinner.Bell: It's my off-duty personal vessel, so to speak.
[18.05.2024 03:07:56] TFP)-Firebrand: [Sighs.] All in due time, all in due time.
[18.05.2024 03:08:12] TFP)-Firebrand: Though, the Nostalgia of running snubcraft at least cushioned the fall.
[18.05.2024 03:08:38] TFP)-Firebrand: Though.. then again - I spent the past two years wallowing in my own self pity on a couch watching terran sitcoms.
[18.05.2024 03:08:45] Dinner.Bell: Speaking of that, I got one small ship waiting on Halifax, I guess you wouldn't have any issue with that one.
[18.05.2024 03:09:29] TFP)-Full.Send: What is it?
[18.05.2024 03:09:35] Dinner.Bell: A Bayonet.
[18.05.2024 03:10:08] TFP)-Full.Send: Bayonet would be fine, although command staff are requiring all Legionnaires to keep a Prosecutor in active service.
[18.05.2024 03:10:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Tradition, decorum, all that.
[18.05.2024 03:10:35] TFP)-Full.Send: I need to handle some paperwork. Firebrand, I expect that AAR as soon as possible.
[18.05.2024 03:10:45] Dinner.Bell: Yeah, I assume that's the standard-issued ship.
[18.05.2024 03:10:48] TFP)-Full.Send: This has been a good talk, Legionnaire Hawthorne.
[18.05.2024 03:11:00] TFP)-Full.Send: Lich is what we use for real combat, standard-issue.
[18.05.2024 03:11:10] Dinner.Bell:  ... I wasn't expecting to hear that ever again...
[18.05.2024 03:11:13] TFP)-Full.Send: Easier to source, ironically. And pretty frightening.
[18.05.2024 03:11:27] Dinner.Bell: Lich? I'd rather keep the Bayonet.
[18.05.2024 03:11:39] TFP)-Full.Send: No need to ditch it.
[18.05.2024 03:11:52] TFP)-Full.Send: Alright, I have to pack it in. We'll be in touch, I presume.

Final bit of this one - it's not a sortie, though it's something of note. I heard from some of the guys with the logistics squadrons that they were needing some stuff for heavier loads - so I went and bought this Train I got off of one of the Technocrats after seeing it advertised in the commons, Yoruha I think her name was, some Kusari girl - it's from an old small Gran Can concern, StarCat, went defunct years ago according to the records.

I've passed the auth codes and title over to the Quartermaster. Consider it an offer of trust and appreciation for giving me a reason to fly again.
