Mister Darche, it was good to see you again after all this time.

Here's the highlights of my conversation with the individual I mentioned. I think you'll find it most interesting indeed.

Spoiler

[05.05.2024 00:45:37] Red.Beetle-1: Greetings, Technocrat.
[05.05.2024 00:45:45] A/)-Leviathan: You wanted to talk?
[05.05.2024 00:45:58] Changing screen mode=full
[05.05.2024 00:46:05] Red.Beetle-1: Indeed, it seems my signal reached you.
[05.05.2024 00:46:19] Red.Beetle-1: Though I don't think we ever met before.
[05.05.2024 00:46:48] A/)-Leviathan: Not personally, no. Though my counterpart has informed me of you.
[05.05.2024 00:46:54] A/)-Leviathan: I am Leviathan, Revenant's other half.
[05.05.2024 00:47:07] Red.Beetle-1: I've met Revenant and Lazurith in the past. Pleased to meet you.
[05.05.2024 00:47:15] Red.Beetle-1: I hope you can assist me in my search.
[05.05.2024 00:47:31] A/)-Leviathan: What're you looking for?
[05.05.2024 00:47:42] Red.Beetle-1: I assume your colleague already informed you?
[05.05.2024 00:48:29] A/)-Leviathan: Somewhat, but I need to hear it from you. Trust, but verify.
[05.05.2024 00:48:42] Red.Beetle-1: I'm still trying to meet Lucas.
[05.05.2024 00:50:29] A/)-Leviathan: Hm...
[05.05.2024 00:51:02] A/)-Leviathan: Well, I don't know anybody named Lucas. If I did, it would likely be information that's too dated to be reliable.
[05.05.2024 00:51:16] Red.Beetle-1: Lucas Gerald.
[05.05.2024 00:51:21] Red.Beetle-1: The captain of the Vatan.
[05.05.2024 00:51:24] A/)-Leviathan: Ah.
[05.05.2024 00:51:29] A/)-Leviathan: Yeah.
[05.05.2024 00:51:38] Red.Beetle-1: So Revenant lied.
[05.05.2024 00:51:43] Red.Beetle-1: Of course...
[05.05.2024 00:51:45] A/)-Leviathan: No?
[05.05.2024 00:51:55] A/)-Leviathan: I just said - Dated info.
[05.05.2024 00:52:05] Red.Beetle-1: Yet, you know him.
[05.05.2024 00:52:13] Red.Beetle-1: She said she never heard about him before.
[05.05.2024 00:52:16] A/)-Leviathan: Roughly ten years back.
[05.05.2024 00:52:25] A/)-Leviathan: My knowledge is separate from Revenant.
[05.05.2024 00:52:35] A/)-Leviathan: What she does is her own affairs, same with who she speaks to.

[05.05.2024 00:52:42] Red.Beetle-1: It matters not, tell me anything you know about him, please.
[05.05.2024 00:52:50] A/)-Leviathan: Though The Vatan - That's a vessel I haven't seen in eight to ten years.
[05.05.2024 00:53:16] A/)-Leviathan: Last I had seen, they were engaged in a scuffle within Leeds, against some Royalists during the Gallic war.
[05.05.2024 00:53:31] A/)-Leviathan: I might even have a dated record of that one. Let me open up my archive.
[05.05.2024 00:53:50] Red.Beetle-1: Fine, let's try asking about someone you might know...
[05.05.2024 00:54:11] Red.Beetle-1: I know it's a capital vessel from the former Royal Navy.
[05.05.2024 00:54:38] Red.Beetle-1: The GNI was concerned enough about this knowledge that they attempted against my captain's life.
[05.05.2024 00:55:04] A/)-Leviathan: Indeed. Though, what the GNI doesn't know is that the Vatan actively engaged Royalist vessels of its own accord.
[05.05.2024 00:55:19] A/)-Leviathan: I never met this Captain personally, so I can only draw assumptions from the situation as I understand it.
[05.05.2024 00:55:31] A/)-Leviathan: Likely, like a few others, they resisted the order to burn Leeds.
[05.05.2024 00:55:35] Red.Beetle-1: The GNI is likely, as plagued with infiltrators as it can be,
[05.05.2024 00:56:40] A/)-Leviathan: As is any House agency, really. Ripe for insertion and waiting to be corrupted from within.
[05.05.2024 00:56:45] Red.Beetle-1: The odds Lucas Gerald and the agents I've met are puppets of alien lifeforms is higher than you'd think.
[05.05.2024 00:56:58] A/)-Leviathan: Really?
[05.05.2024 00:57:03] Red.Beetle-1: Yes.
[05.05.2024 00:57:32] A/)-Leviathan: Well, I assume you've got some evidence to bolster that claim. Not that I don't believe the Gallics to be immune to -
[05.05.2024 00:57:38] Red.Beetle-1: They will be disposed of unless they cease hostilities against me, and my captain.
[05.05.2024 00:57:45] Red.Beetle-1: I have evidence, of course.
[05.05.2024 00:57:54] A/)-Leviathan: infiltration, but I can't act on nothing.
[05.05.2024 00:58:09] Red.Beetle-1: The question is, what would it provide if I showed it to your organization?
[05.05.2024 00:58:28] Red.Beetle-1: There's one thing you should know.
[05.05.2024 00:58:40] A/)-Leviathan: Another piece of intel in regards to who can't be trusted? The archive we maintain is passed out to informants.
[05.05.2024 00:58:50] A/)-Leviathan: Compromised individuals tend to get uprooted via means of slow exposure.
[05.05.2024 00:59:07] A/)-Leviathan: Word reaches the right parties, they stop being a problem.
[05.05.2024 00:59:18] Red.Beetle-1: I... /We/, have zero concerns about alien schemes. We will but react against hostilities if needed be.
[05.05.2024 01:00:02] A/)-Leviathan: Listen, you've picked the right person to come to about this.
[05.05.2024 01:00:16] A/)-Leviathan: Typically I'm responsible for sending containment teams to clean up and wipe out war forms around the area.
[05.05.2024 01:00:29] A/)-Leviathan: If there's potential that the Gallics you mentioned are compromised, that information is invaluable to everyone.
[05.05.2024 01:00:36] A/)-Leviathan: And beneficial to your safety if it falls into the right hands.
[05.05.2024 01:00:52] Red.Beetle-1: The Maquis seemed as interested, but for the wrong reasons.
[05.05.2024 01:01:00] A/)-Leviathan: Aliens don't care who exposed them. They're not vengeful. They don't have time to react when their cover is blown.
[05.05.2024 01:01:28] Red.Beetle-1: Well... I'm afraid this is not the case for us.
[05.05.2024 01:01:47] A/)-Leviathan: I've been at this a /long/ time, pilot. Longer than The Technocracy walked its first steps.
[05.05.2024 01:02:18] A/)-Leviathan: You could try your luck with The Order, though.
[05.05.2024 01:02:35] Red.Beetle-1: I had in mind reaching to them.
[05.05.2024 01:02:45] A/)-Leviathan: Odds are they've got the same intel I do.

[05.05.2024 01:13:37] Red.Beetle-1: I want us, me and my captain, to be left alone by the alien lifeforms.
[05.05.2024 01:13:52] Red.Beetle-1: And Lucas Gerald is the key for that.
[05.05.2024 01:13:57] Red.Beetle-1: Or so I've been told.
[05.05.2024 01:14:04] Red.Beetle-1: ... By Shozak.
[05.05.2024 01:14:10] A/)-Leviathan: Who told you such, and why would they need- Ahh.
[05.05.2024 01:15:12] A/)-Leviathan: I would be careful trusting that one. They'll use you to any means to accomplish whatever ulterior motive they're cooking.
[05.05.2024 01:15:41] Red.Beetle-1: My captain only made questions, and it answered.
[05.05.2024 01:15:58] A/)-Leviathan: Next time he comes knocking, go ahead and ask him about me. I've heard his answers are quite colorful and flattering.
[05.05.2024 01:16:06] Red.Beetle-1: By now, however, I have my reasons to believe he was just decieving us.
[05.05.2024 01:16:18] A/)-Leviathan: You'd be wise to trust that intuition, friend.

We'll talk more soon. I still have a lot on my plate right now.
