CURIOUS INQUIRIES

A new day, and a new associate. A neighbor if nothing else.

Venus approached me at Holman under the guise of admiring my prize. Despite her prying, she revealed nothing except her name and hopes of loyalty. She even dared question the propriety of a lone constable afraid in the void. In the nature of politeness, if not neighborly love, she chose to guide me to an onyx rock, shrouded in ice. It would make a lovely tourist destination to those that could afford it. Unfortunately, I am in no position to make a claim.

One day, perhaps. In the meantime, Venus rose the prospect of work. It would seem that our own ingenuity is still appreciated, whatever preconceptions Sirius may have of the Clans. While I have yet to receive a proper offer, I made my preparations.

Officer Maya was present at her usual haunt. Steiner's absence was noted, a name of repute it would seem. She directed me to Scarborough, where more precise instruments were acquired.

[29.11.2024 16:37:14] Infernal: Salutations.
[29.11.2024 16:37:18] A/)-Venus.: Hello.
[29.11.2024 16:37:30] A/)-Venus.: Fancy ship for a Junker...
[29.11.2024 16:37:41] Infernal: Thank you!
[29.11.2024 16:38:12] A/)-Venus.: Sooo... how did you get it?
[29.11.2024 16:38:16] A/)-Venus.: I doubt you bought it.
[29.11.2024 16:38:22] Infernal: I did, in a sense.
[29.11.2024 16:38:34] Infernal: Does bribery count as a purchase?
[29.11.2024 16:38:46] A/)-Venus.: the sort of was on point...
[29.11.2024 16:38:53] A/)-Venus.: you bribed someone to steal it for you?
[29.11.2024 16:39:05] Infernal: Nothing so direct.
[29.11.2024 16:39:35] A/)-Venus.: Then?
[29.11.2024 16:39:58] Infernal: Story for another time, maybe. Preferably with those I'm associated with.
[29.11.2024 16:40:14] Infernal: I've not had your acquaintance in any case.
[29.11.2024 16:40:31] A/)-Venus.: You need others with you to talk to me - or did you mean you will only tell people you know?
[29.11.2024 16:40:39] Infernal: The second one.
[29.11.2024 16:40:57] A/)-Venus.: The name is Venus, does that help?
[29.11.2024 16:41:10] Infernal: It does. Adenike. A pleasure.
[29.11.2024 16:41:43] A/)-Venus.: Never heard a name like that before, but it's a nice name. It's good to meet you Aidenike... -
[29.11.2024 16:41:54] A/)-Venus.: or I guess Aden? Rolls off the tongue better
[29.11.2024 16:42:10] Infernal: I don't suppose I could stop you.
[29.11.2024 16:42:28] A/)-Venus.: Unless you don't like it?
[29.11.2024 16:42:29] Infernal: And Junker names aren't supposed to make sense to the likes of outsiders.
[29.11.2024 16:43:00] A/)-Venus.: hm, really? I never knew Junkers named themselves in special ways
[29.11.2024 16:43:08] A/)-Venus.: What does your name mean then?
[29.11.2024 16:43:24] Infernal: Nothing. It's a surname same as any.
[29.11.2024 16:43:45] A/)-Venus.: oh, right
[29.11.2024 16:43:46] Infernal: But these are clan things. It's more about buying power.
[29.11.2024 16:43:48] A/)-Venus.: what's your first name then?
[29.11.2024 16:44:03] Infernal: I've been quite open. Yours first.
[29.11.2024 16:44:16] Infernal: Surname, or first name?
[29.11.2024 16:44:28] A/)-Venus.: It's really just Venus for me
[29.11.2024 16:44:44] Infernal: Then Adenike it is.
[29.11.2024 16:44:55] A/)-Venus.: heh... I'm not lying.
[29.11.2024 16:45:05] Infernal: I wasn't implying you were.
[29.11.2024 16:45:13] Infernal: Merely that some things don't matter.
[29.11.2024 16:45:18] Notice: Armor Upgrades have been removed from the server. You will have received a full refund at purchase price.
[29.11.2024 16:45:26] A/)-Venus.: What do you want others to call you then?
[29.11.2024 16:45:41] Infernal: That would really depend on the nature of our association.
[29.11.2024 16:46:04] Infernal: Or, really, whether I'm looking to 'roll' you, as it were.
[29.11.2024 16:46:13] A/)-Venus.: roll me?
[29.11.2024 16:46:19] A/)-Venus.: what does that mean?
[29.11.2024 16:46:46] Infernal: Should we really discuss such improper things? Suffice to say I'll extend the benefit, and say you're not an unlucky mark.
[29.11.2024 16:47:03] A/)-Venus.: You talk weird
[29.11.2024 16:47:27] Infernal: I am quite proud of my extensive vocabulation.
[29.11.2024 16:47:37] Infernal: Sign of a good upbringing.
[29.11.2024 16:47:52] A/)-Venus.: so - that's why you got the fancy ship?
[29.11.2024 16:47:56] A/)-Venus.: rich family out there...
[29.11.2024 16:48:08] Infernal: Oh yes. Although not my own.
[29.11.2024 16:48:18] Infernal: I think they'll be quite fine without it in any case.
[29.11.2024 16:48:26] A/)-Venus.: You really did fall pretty far then if you ended up being a Junker.
[29.11.2024 16:48:43] Infernal: I don't see it that way at all, excusing your rudeness.
[29.11.2024 16:48:53] Infernal: And, quite frankly, prejudice.
[29.11.2024 16:49:25] A/)-Venus.: it's just my experience with Junkers.
[29.11.2024 16:49:40] A/)-Venus.: They generally are short on credits, looking for ways to make money.
[29.11.2024 16:50:12] Infernal: An uncharitible mind might note that those who are well set have no use for outsiders.
[29.11.2024 16:50:34] Infernal: I would simply say that we are legion, and you should know /who/ you are dealing with.
[29.11.2024 16:50:45] Infernal: Not /what/, that being the diaspora.
[29.11.2024 16:50:58] Infernal: Enough of my affiliations. Your own?
[29.11.2024 16:51:29] A/)-Venus.: What about it? We're neighbors
[29.11.2024 16:51:37] [MFE]Doc.Holliday: Hey, Gang
[29.11.2024 16:51:40] A/)-Venus.: Hello, MFE.
[29.11.2024 16:51:42] Infernal: Salutations, Zoner.
[29.11.2024 16:52:00] Infernal: Fine then. Neighbors it is.
[29.11.2024 16:52:15] A/)-Venus.: You know, in Inverness?
[29.11.2024 16:52:34] Infernal: I know it in passing. But seeing as yours truly is new to the cluster,
[29.11.2024 16:52:56] Infernal: It might be polite to show me around. Someplace new. As the locals are to do.
[29.11.2024 16:52:56] A/)-Venus.: the cluster, you mean Sirius?
[29.11.2024 16:53:00] Infernal: Tau.
[29.11.2024 16:53:14] A/)-Venus.: Almost feels like you're ordering me around
[29.11.2024 16:53:25] Infernal: You have insulted my people, among other things.
[29.11.2024 16:53:31] A/)-Venus.: I have not?
[29.11.2024 16:53:38] Infernal: Maybe not intentionally.
[29.11.2024 16:53:48] Infernal: Consider it a sign of good faith? For a newcomer?
[29.11.2024 16:54:29] A/)-Venus.: hrm...
[29.11.2024 16:54:52] A/)-Venus.: I merely spoke from experience. You're unlike any Junker I've seen or spoken to
[29.11.2024 16:55:16] A/)-Venus.: and it makes me feel you're not actually part of them, maybe you fled and use them their hospitality to go around?
[29.11.2024 16:55:17] Infernal: I should hope that's more form my glorious presence than anything else.
[29.11.2024 16:56:00] Infernal: If you truly feel that way, then the smart thing to do would be to avoid the charlatan.
[29.11.2024 16:56:36] A/)-Venus.: the charlatan?
[29.11.2024 16:57:01] Infernal: Allow me to rephrase, simply: If you do not believe that I am who I say I am,
[29.11.2024 16:57:10] Infernal: Then why deal with me?
[29.11.2024 16:57:48] A/)-Venus.: Maybe I'm just too curious to find out who or what you really are?
[29.11.2024 16:58:40] Infernal: A fair answer. Very well,
[29.11.2024 16:58:59] Infernal: Know that I will not choose to make your acquaintance again if you continue to voice your doubts about me.
[29.11.2024 16:59:10] Infernal: Least of all in earshot of anyone else.
[29.11.2024 16:59:29] A/)-Venus.: I'll have doubts for as long as I don't know you
[29.11.2024 16:59:37] A/)-Venus.: you were being vague from the very start.
[29.11.2024 16:59:54] A/)-Venus.: can't blame me for having questions because of that, or can you?
[29.11.2024 16:59:59] Infernal: I know only your name and your system of origin. I have been quite open in comparison.
[29.11.2024 17:00:28] A/)-Venus.: That's fair.
[29.11.2024 17:00:32] >(-Morioka: Konbanwa.
[29.11.2024 17:00:36] Infernal: Salutations.
[29.11.2024 17:00:36] A/)-Venus.: Hello.
[29.11.2024 17:01:00] A/)-Venus.: it really is fancy ship...
[29.11.2024 17:01:08] A/)-Venus.: fine - order me around then mister fancy.
[29.11.2024 17:01:12] A/)-Venus.: where do you want to go?
[29.11.2024 17:01:24] Infernal: That's why some poor Bretonian son doesn't have it anymore.
[29.11.2024 17:01:32] Infernal: You're a local. Dealer'
[29.11.2024 17:01:36] Infernal: Dealer's choice.
[29.11.2024 17:01:51] Infernal: A new station perhaps? Something hidden?
[29.11.2024 17:01:58] A/)-Venus.: hm...
[29.11.2024 17:02:03] Infernal: A jumphole I wouldn't know about?
[29.11.2024 17:02:06] A/)-Venus.: I'm normally not around these parts.
[29.11.2024 17:02:20] A/)-Venus.: But I can show you a fancy rock - it's a few systems away from here
[29.11.2024 17:02:28] Infernal: How far?
[29.11.2024 17:02:41] A/)-Venus.: Coronado. So Tau-29 - Baffin - Coronado.
[29.11.2024 17:02:45] A/)-Venus.: not that far.
[29.11.2024 17:02:54] Infernal: Capital. Let us go.
[29.11.2024 17:03:07] A/)-Venus.: [she chuckles] you talk so funny
[29.11.2024 17:04:10] Infernal: Salutations, freeworlder.
[29.11.2024 17:04:12] A/)-Venus.: Hello, Zoner.
[29.11.2024 17:04:23] Evil.Neo-: greetings
[29.11.2024 17:05:18] A/)-Venus.: How long have you been flying?
[29.11.2024 17:05:55] Infernal: All of my life. Not a lot of stations where I'm from.
[29.11.2024 17:06:05] A/)-Venus.: hm... vague
[29.11.2024 17:06:07] A/)-Venus.: I like it.
[29.11.2024 17:06:14] Infernal: Is it? That seems to be the norm.
[29.11.2024 17:06:51] A/)-Venus.: I'd imagine you're from the edge worlds then?
[29.11.2024 17:07:07] Infernal: The deep walker cloud.
[29.11.2024 17:07:35] A/)-Venus.: The omega's?
[29.11.2024 17:07:42] Infernal: Yes.
[29.11.2024 17:07:59] A/)-Venus.: Hm... gets pretty grim and dark in there...
[29.11.2024 17:08:53] A/)-Venus.: Almost there.
[29.11.2024 17:08:56] A/)-Venus.: Been here before?
[29.11.2024 17:08:57] Infernal: And how long has my host from Inverness been flying then?
[29.11.2024 17:09:10] Infernal: Once. On the journey into Bretonia.
[29.11.2024 17:09:20] A/)-Venus.: I've been in the seat for 11 years.
[29.11.2024 17:09:35] A/)-Venus.: We're going down
[29.11.2024 17:09:39] A/)-Venus.: Follow me.
[29.11.2024 17:10:38] A/)-Venus.: hm.. where is it
[29.11.2024 17:10:49] A/)-Venus.: oh there is is
[29.11.2024 17:11:10] A/)-Venus.: Follow me if you dare...
[29.11.2024 17:11:38] A/)-Venus.: Fancy rock isn't it?
[29.11.2024 17:11:55] Infernal: Positively.
[29.11.2024 17:12:20] Infernal: Mining is unfortunately not my forte. What is it?
[29.11.2024 17:12:27] A/)-Venus.: I've no idea
[29.11.2024 17:12:39] A/)-Venus.: I think it feeds on lost Junker souls, takes their brains
[29.11.2024 17:13:02] A/)-Venus.: I'm just here to sacrifice you to it.
[29.11.2024 17:13:14] Infernal: Funny. Ha.
[29.11.2024 17:13:26] A/)-Venus.: Not nervous are you?
[29.11.2024 17:13:27] Infernal: And you discovered this how, exactly?
[29.11.2024 17:13:36] A/)-Venus.: Scouting?
[29.11.2024 17:13:55] A/)-Venus.: or do you mean how I know it eats junkers?
[29.11.2024 17:14:11] A/)-Venus.: The last one I took here got swallowed whole~
[29.11.2024 17:14:12] Infernal: It's a very remote find.
[29.11.2024 17:14:30] A/)-Venus.: hmh
[29.11.2024 17:14:43] A/)-Venus.: I've no idea what it really is.
[29.11.2024 17:14:55] A/)-Venus.: but there are more strange things going on
[29.11.2024 17:15:03] Infernal: Always.
[29.11.2024 17:15:11] A/)-Venus.: like the massive space laser!
[29.11.2024 17:15:24] A/)-Venus.: [ she chuckles ]
[29.11.2024 17:15:28] Infernal: Somehow that's the least surprising thing said today.
[29.11.2024 17:15:44] A/)-Venus.: 2 systems away there is one - a huge one
[29.11.2024 17:15:45] Infernal: And who, pray, owns this magnificent armament?
[29.11.2024 17:16:02] A/)-Venus.: it's aimed or aligning itself with this sector from what I heard
[29.11.2024 17:16:29] A/)-Venus.: maybe this rock has something to do with it, maybe not.
[29.11.2024 17:16:32] Infernal: Hardly sounds friendly.
[29.11.2024 17:16:51] A/)-Venus.: it's not very friendly no.
[29.11.2024 17:17:18] Infernal: I'll pass on that particular viewing.
[29.11.2024 17:17:21] A/)-Venus.: I could show you that to-
[29.11.2024 17:17:23] A/)-Venus.: ah okay
[29.11.2024 17:17:38] A/)-Venus.: well it saves me having to tour you through Xenos space
[29.11.2024 17:17:45] Infernal: Who?
[29.11.2024 17:17:53] A/)-Venus.: You don't know who the Xenos are?
[29.11.2024 17:18:02] Infernal: No.
[29.11.2024 17:18:07] A/)-Venus.: The people ruining a Junker base?
[29.11.2024 17:18:15] A/)-Venus.: killing hundreds?
[29.11.2024 17:18:29] A/)-Venus.: You really did live under a rock...
[29.11.2024 17:18:50] Infernal: The idea that every junker clan cares for the affairs of one halfway across the sector is...
[29.11.2024 17:18:53] Infernal: Naive.
[29.11.2024 17:19:14] A/)-Venus.: I know you guys are segregated but not -that- segregated.
[29.11.2024 17:19:23] Infernal: We aren't. It's a matter of caring.
[29.11.2024 17:19:35] A/)-Venus.: hm...
[29.11.2024 17:19:45] A/)-Venus.: well they are a local criminal and terrorist group
[29.11.2024 17:20:04] A/)-Venus.: the local Junkers are in conflict with them due to the local smuggle routes
[29.11.2024 17:20:08] A/)-Venus.: and their market share.
[29.11.2024 17:20:13] Infernal: They sound like Hessians. Our problems are the same, our cares are not.
[29.11.2024 17:20:27] A/)-Venus.: Hessians are in conflict with the Junkers?
[29.11.2024 17:20:32] A/)-Venus.: I thought you guys were peaceful.
[29.11.2024 17:20:43] Infernal: Every petty group wants to stake a claim on rightful commerce.
[29.11.2024 17:20:57] Infernal: That we are not in open war does not exempt us from... 'taxation'.
[29.11.2024 17:21:19] A/)-Venus.: it's different here
[29.11.2024 17:21:29] A/)-Venus.: you'll be instantly shot, no questions asked
[29.11.2024 17:21:44] A/)-Venus.: they'd probably laugh as they'd gut you
[29.11.2024 17:21:52] Infernal: Dubiously noted.
[29.11.2024 17:22:18] A/)-Venus.: Ontario is a system they lay claim on, there is a Junker base too but they are not doing so great from what I heard.
[29.11.2024 17:22:37] A/)-Venus.: it'll give you shelter though, if you need it.
[29.11.2024 17:23:04] A/)-Venus.: say, since you're from the Walker region, did you frequent Ithaca often?
[29.11.2024 17:23:09] Infernal: I don't fancy flying into an open warzone for shelter, as it is. But thank you.
[29.11.2024 17:23:31] Infernal: No, my own sympathies lie with Bornholme.
[29.11.2024 17:23:50] A/)-Venus.: oh that little base in the middle of nowhere surrounded by wrecks?
[29.11.2024 17:24:10] A/)-Venus.: I've made some pitstops there in my days.
[29.11.2024 17:24:38] Infernal: The peaceful little haven with scores of free salvage? Yes, that's the one.
[29.11.2024 17:25:02] A/)-Venus.: Hm - that makes the way you talk even more suspicious
[29.11.2024 17:25:05] Infernal: Although most of us find our homes spacebound, on our own ships.
[29.11.2024 17:25:29] A/)-Venus.: do you live on that ship of yours or got something else?
[29.11.2024 17:25:44] Unsure about the regions listed in your ID? You can use the following command to access the full systems classification list - /helpmenu regions
[29.11.2024 17:25:45] Infernal: I prefer the open air of Planet Harris for the time being.
[29.11.2024 17:25:57] A/)-Venus.: oh is that why you were out there?
[29.11.2024 17:26:11] Infernal: The war salvage, yes.
[29.11.2024 17:26:23] A/)-Venus.: Better not be too loud about how you got that ship of yours then
[29.11.2024 17:26:32] A/)-Venus.: found anything fancy?
[29.11.2024 17:26:46] Infernal: That's not been my experience, the Bretonians have been quite helpful and welcominjg.
[29.11.2024 17:26:57] Infernal: Nothing you wouldn't find anywhere else yet.
[29.11.2024 17:27:02] A/)-Venus.: but you said you got it from some Bretonian son?
[29.11.2024 17:27:15] Infernal: Oh my, yes.
[29.11.2024 17:27:25] A/)-Venus.: sooo...?
[29.11.2024 17:27:26] Infernal: But that was somewhere else, in Newcastle.
[29.11.2024 17:27:38] A/)-Venus.: Bretonia is great with holding a grudge...
[29.11.2024 17:27:39] Infernal: No, that particular spoilsport is quite alive.
[29.11.2024 17:28:09] Infernal: Thankfully this transfer was quite legal, to say nothing of ethics.
[29.11.2024 17:28:23] A/)-Venus.: right a bribe does sound very legal.
[29.11.2024 17:28:29] Infernal: Any grudge would have to be extralegally, to which I would speculate I have the advantage.
[29.11.2024 17:29:07] Infernal: I would remind you that said bribe took place in Bretonia. They love those.
[29.11.2024 17:29:13] Infernal: It'
[29.11.2024 17:29:19] A/)-Venus.: Just becareful around Bretonia, they are known for making enemies because they are selfish.
[29.11.2024 17:29:22] Infernal: It's the proper ettiquette.
[29.11.2024 17:29:50] Infernal: Noted. Though I'm in no hurry to anger a house anyhow, much less Her Majesty.
[29.11.2024 17:29:56] A/)-Venus.: I really thought bribes belonged in Liberty but I've been hearing more about how Bretonia seems to also like them...
[29.11.2024 17:30:44] A/)-Venus.: I was moving some less than ideal good through the region when they pulled me over. Apparently some credits got them to
[29.11.2024 17:30:48] A/)-Venus.: change their mind fairly easily
[29.11.2024 17:31:07] Infernal: See? That's the value of politeness!
[29.11.2024 17:31:19] A/)-Venus.: I don't know
[29.11.2024 17:31:27] A/)-Venus.: loyal subjects shouldn't take bribes
[29.11.2024 17:31:31] Infernal: Thankfully it has an approximate credit value.
[29.11.2024 17:31:50] Infernal: And you would be some loyal subject of Her Majesty then?
[29.11.2024 17:31:59] A/)-Venus.: noooo~
[29.11.2024 17:32:00] Infernal: One smuggling unidentified contraband?
[29.11.2024 17:32:16] A/)-Venus.: I meant the police - they shouldn't accept bribes but they do
[29.11.2024 17:32:33] A/)-Venus.: The whole house hates us, nothing is going to change that any time soon.
[29.11.2024 17:32:59] Infernal: Are you truly not glad that you can bribe someone then?
[29.11.2024 17:33:05] Infernal: It's politeness.
[29.11.2024 17:33:20] Infernal: You were trespassing. You paid the price. All are well.
[29.11.2024 17:33:36] A/)-Venus.: hm yes but it does mean they are bad cops.
[29.11.2024 17:33:42] Anubis-1 was killed by Hiroko.Nakagawa (100%)
[29.11.2024 17:34:03] Infernal: I choose not to judge those by their professions.
[29.11.2024 17:34:12] Infernal: I can think of plenty of worse things.
[29.11.2024 17:34:23] Infernal: Poor cops are often good friends, as it were.
[29.11.2024 17:34:29] Infernal: Or, well, station security in my case.
[29.11.2024 17:34:36] A/)-Venus.: Never said it was a problem for me
[29.11.2024 17:34:56] Infernal: Then what were you saying?
[29.11.2024 17:35:04] A/)-Venus.: I just think they are bad cops and I expected more from Bretonia
[29.11.2024 17:35:17] A/)-Venus.: that it benefits me or that it makes them nice people is besides the point
[29.11.2024 17:35:33] Infernal: Were you expecting more from Bretonia, or the person?
[29.11.2024 17:35:38] A/)-Venus.: Bretonia.
[29.11.2024 17:35:47] Infernal: That officer was not all that is Bretonia.
[29.11.2024 17:35:56] A/)-Venus.: I know that.
[29.11.2024 17:35:56] Infernal: Not even Her Majesty can say she is.
[29.11.2024 17:36:21] A/)-Venus.: But as a House I thought they had their law enforcement and armed forces in check
[29.11.2024 17:36:26] A/)-Venus.: but they clearly don't
[29.11.2024 17:36:43] Infernal: Perhaps there's simply a utility in not shooting you.
[29.11.2024 17:37:00] Infernal: Namely, draining the credits of their enemies, and keeping an officer alive.
[29.11.2024 17:37:01] A/)-Venus.: hmh that's why we're on the wanted list.
[29.11.2024 17:37:22] A/)-Venus.: I think my cargo was a lot more important than a few credits.
[29.11.2024 17:37:38] Infernal: And a lone officer was going to take it all from you?
[29.11.2024 17:37:52] A/)-Venus.: They could have, it's not like I had much weaponary
[29.11.2024 17:38:09] Infernal: I know that Bretonians have been loose with the arms control lately, but I don't really see constables flying battleships.
[29.11.2024 17:38:21] A/)-Venus.: erhm
[29.11.2024 17:38:27] A/)-Venus.: I was in a little gas miner
[29.11.2024 17:38:51] Infernal: Maybe your cargo was simply meaned more to you than them?
[29.11.2024 17:38:53] A/)-Venus.: they'd snap it in half even with their small patrol crafts.
[29.11.2024 17:39:11] A/)-Venus.: I doubt that...
[29.11.2024 17:39:18] Infernal: I doubt an officer has much use for chemicals. What, are they running science experiments?
[29.11.2024 17:39:30] A/)-Venus.: They can confiscate it.
[29.11.2024 17:39:42] Infernal: They can also just take the credits.
[29.11.2024 17:39:53] Infernal: I would take the credits.
[29.11.2024 17:39:59] A/)-Venus.: yeah but that means they can be bought
[29.11.2024 17:40:12] A/)-Venus.: and if they can be bought for something simple they can be bought for bigger things as well
[29.11.2024 17:40:15] A/)-Venus.: if the price is right
[29.11.2024 17:40:40] Infernal: It truly pains me to break that hope of yours, but we all have a price.
[29.11.2024 17:40:41] A/)-Venus.: if you want to be a good officer to your house, you shouldn't get yourself bought
[29.11.2024 17:40:47] Infernal: Maybe not for credits, but we all do.
[29.11.2024 17:41:01] A/)-Venus.: that's just your point of view.
[29.11.2024 17:41:15] Infernal: A view made from experience.
[29.11.2024 17:41:21] Infernal: In bribery, as it were.
[29.11.2024 17:41:40] A/)-Venus.: never too old to learn something new.
[29.11.2024 17:41:55] A/)-Venus.: and I mean you by that.
[29.11.2024 17:42:24] Infernal: I am not hopeless. I would simply prefer to know the reality that all those I would rely on have weaknesses that can be-
[29.11.2024 17:42:26] Infernal: Satisfied.
[29.11.2024 17:42:48] Infernal: Oh, well then, safe skies to you to. Rather rude, that.
[29.11.2024 17:42:53] A/)-Venus.: hehe...
[29.11.2024 17:43:06] A/)-Venus.: I wasn't leaving
[29.11.2024 17:43:30] Infernal: I, however, am. I am returning to Harris. Accompany me if you wish.
[29.11.2024 17:43:41] A/)-Venus.: so who's being rude?
[29.11.2024 17:44:10] Infernal: Would you truly prefer to continue this conversation in the middle of nowhere?
[29.11.2024 17:44:20] A/)-Venus.: I don't mind
[29.11.2024 17:44:24] A/)-Venus.: it's peaceful
[29.11.2024 17:44:28] Infernal: The rock was pretty. Profitable, even. And I thank you for that.
[29.11.2024 17:44:41] A/)-Venus.: profitable?
[29.11.2024 17:44:46] A/)-Venus.: not a word I'd have used...
[29.11.2024 17:44:46] Infernal: Maybe.
[29.11.2024 17:45:18] A/)-Venus.: So, since you're a Junker, are you a good mechanic too?
[29.11.2024 17:45:31] A/)-Venus.: or do you think I'm rude again for assuming this?
[29.11.2024 17:45:37] Infernal: You are not. It is our way.
[29.11.2024 17:45:47] Infernal: I can pass.
[29.11.2024 17:45:52] A/)-Venus.: hm
[29.11.2024 17:46:02] Infernal: I am not the best, to be transparent.
[29.11.2024 17:46:23] Infernal: Cobbling the detritus of the void never made as much sense as proper tools to me.
[29.11.2024 17:46:28] A/)-Venus.: We're not flying to the Jumphole...
[29.11.2024 17:46:48] A/)-Venus.: Are you distracted by something?
[29.11.2024 17:46:58] Infernal: These are unfamiliar skies.
[29.11.2024 17:47:06] Infernal: I neglected my navmap in my haste to respond.
[29.11.2024 17:47:08] A/)-Venus.: hm, fine.
[29.11.2024 17:47:15] A/)-Venus.: in such a rush then...?
[29.11.2024 17:47:35] A/)-Venus.: so, would it be rude if I assumed you like money?
[29.11.2024 17:47:49] Infernal: It would be positively unforgiveable if you did not.
[29.11.2024 17:48:07] A/)-Venus.: heh...
[29.11.2024 17:48:15] A/)-Venus.: right - I might have a job for you
[29.11.2024 17:48:25] A/)-Venus.: but I need to work out some details
[29.11.2024 17:48:33] A/)-Venus.: it's a shame you lack true mechanic skills though
[29.11.2024 17:48:34] Infernal: As for my rush, the clouds make me... claustrophobic, we'll say, sometimes.
[29.11.2024 17:48:46] A/)-Venus.: that's a weird... habit?
[29.11.2024 17:48:49] Infernal: I did not mean to say I lacked.
[29.11.2024 17:48:59] Infernal: Merely that I am not as experienced as our own finest.
[29.11.2024 17:49:01] A/)-Venus.: you're from the omega's those clouds are much more disturbing.
[29.11.2024 17:49:07] Infernal: Yes, they are.
[29.11.2024 17:49:11] Infernal: Very much so.
[29.11.2024 17:49:17] Infernal: An experience I do not relish.
[29.11.2024 17:49:24] A/)-Venus.: hm, well here is the thing
[29.11.2024 17:49:25] Infernal: So then you surely understand.
[29.11.2024 17:49:38] A/)-Venus.: I obstained some robotics, limbs if you will
[29.11.2024 17:49:54] Infernal: Prostheses?
[29.11.2024 17:50:04] A/)-Venus.: I need someone to analyze them for me.
[29.11.2024 17:50:06] A/)-Venus.: yes
[29.11.2024 17:50:21] Infernal: And these are of what origin?
[29.11.2024 17:50:28] A/)-Venus.: that's for you to find out
[29.11.2024 17:50:37] A/)-Venus.: as well as how capable they are
[29.11.2024 17:50:56] A/)-Venus.: do you think you can do that?
[29.11.2024 17:51:04] Infernal: That sounds within my capabilities. I make no warranties, as always.
[29.11.2024 17:51:20] Infernal: If you need them intact, you need to say so now.
[29.11.2024 17:51:30] Infernal: Deconstruction is destructive by nature.
[29.11.2024 17:51:43] A/)-Venus.: It's a batch, just don't destroy all of them
[29.11.2024 17:52:02] A/)-Venus.: What rate would you charge me with?
[29.11.2024 17:52:24] Infernal: Send me the details. I'll return a quote, as is in common trade.
[29.11.2024 17:52:36] A/)-Venus.: Alright.
[29.11.2024 17:53:00] A/)-Venus.: We'd probably have to do the handover on Halifax.
[29.11.2024 17:53:11] A/)-Venus.: do you know where that is?
[29.11.2024 17:53:19] Infernal: The name is familiar, but not the location.
[29.11.2024 17:53:25] A/)-Venus.: It's in Leeds
[29.11.2024 17:53:36] Infernal: I'll find my way.
[29.11.2024 17:53:51] A/)-Venus.: In the north part of the western smog cloud.
[29.11.2024 17:54:01] Infernal: Noted.
[29.11.2024 17:54:20] A/)-Venus.: I'll see if I can make a proper job description for you.
[29.11.2024 17:54:37] Infernal: Any information about the materials would be most beneficial as well.
[29.11.2024 17:54:49] A/)-Venus.: Well, I don't know much about it to be honest
[29.11.2024 17:54:53] Infernal: If I came up with the wrong answer, I would be positively livid.
[29.11.2024 17:54:55] A/)-Venus.: they were a ... gift.
[29.11.2024 17:55:36] Infernal: I am sure you will find something to send me. If that's all?
[29.11.2024 17:55:40] A/)-Venus.: you can always screw them onto your own body if my money isn't worth it.
[29.11.2024 17:55:51] A/)-Venus.: that would be all
[29.11.2024 17:55:51] Infernal: Your money is worth it, I promise you.
[29.11.2024 17:56:03] Infernal: Assuming your accounts are, anyway.
[29.11.2024 17:56:08] A/)-Venus.: we'll see if you can do mechanics as well as you talk.
[29.11.2024 17:56:26] Infernal: But a simple deconstruction, I would warrant, won't be so damaging.
[29.11.2024 17:56:27] A/)-Venus.: Hello, N- Unit.
[29.11.2024 17:56:54] A/)-Venus.: you better go now.
[29.11.2024 17:56:59] Infernal: As I will regardless.
[29.11.2024 17:57:02] Infernal: Ciao.
[29.11.2024 17:57:03] A/)-Venus.: We'll talk later, Aden.

[29.11.2024 18:02:11] Infernal: Salutations, Interspace.
[29.11.2024 18:02:26] Onion.Monument: Howdy, Junker!

[29.11.2024 18:05:32] BMF|Ebejer: Greetings Officer
[29.11.2024 18:05:43] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Good day
[29.11.2024 18:05:44] Infernal: Salutations, Officer Maya. Lovely to see you again, Steiner or no.
[29.11.2024 18:06:06] BMF|Ebejer: Steiner is a great name
[29.11.2024 18:06:19] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Ah i remember you. So you got a job in the end i guess ?
[29.11.2024 18:06:21] Infernal: Is it now? I was unaware.
[29.11.2024 18:06:24] BMF|Ebejer: Known across Sirius i believe
[29.11.2024 18:06:44] Infernal: That particular job is unfortunately pending, I am here on another.
[29.11.2024 18:06:50] BMF|Ebejer: So its seems
[29.11.2024 18:07:04] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Well its good to something regardless
[29.11.2024 18:07:11] Infernal: Perhaps you could help me,
[29.11.2024 18:07:30] Infernal: I am seeking some precision machine implements. What vendor would I speak to about purchasing them?
[29.11.2024 18:07:33] Infernal: Legally, of course.
[29.11.2024 18:08:20] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: And for what purpose do you want these implements ?
[29.11.2024 18:08:41] Infernal: I was hired by an associate to perform an inspection on some medical devices.
[29.11.2024 18:08:54] Infernal: Unfortunately, I feel that the traditional methods would fail me in that regard.
[29.11.2024 18:10:03] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Well if its medical equipment you need, have you tried cambridge ?
[29.11.2024 18:10:27] Infernal: It is not. I require fabrication equipment. Drills, screwdrivers, that sort of thing.
[29.11.2024 18:10:48] Infernal: The types of things you would see in a machine shop, though maybe not a Junker one.
[29.11.2024 18:11:13] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: So industrial materials of any kind in a way ?
[29.11.2024 18:11:21] Infernal: Mm. I suppose that's a start.
[29.11.2024 18:12:39] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Well you could fly over to Manchester, in particular Scarborough Shipyard. They tend to have a good range of all tools
[29.11.2024 18:12:51] Infernal: Very well. Thank you, officer.
[29.11.2024 18:13:03] [CDI-Intern]Miss_Maya: Have a safe trip and enjoy your day.
