MADMAN

My dealings with Miss Venus have proven strugglingly complex already.

The exchange of goods was held at Halifax, as indicated by contract. Unfortunately, the local flavor has proven less an amenable to our presence.

There was a madman who took issue to my companions. First, the Rheinlander, self-obsessed with their own conflicts as they always are. Then with Venus. When we attempted to make our retreat to safeguard her prize, he attacked her. I, prudently, chose to further the both of our interests and continue on the path to Tau. Evidently, things are well with her.

The madman had some talk of Hessian legends. Being the man that I am, I take great interest in such things. Unfortunately all he had was talk of thralls and wildlings. No doubt driven mad by the likes of my own hauntings.

I should need to prepare for the task ahead. Those Bretonians I met should have the relevant tools to begin a technospy.

[30.11.2024 16:26:52] A/)-Venus,: Hello. Gaian.
[30.11.2024 16:27:06] Flora: Hello.
[30.11.2024 16:27:39] Flora: Am I interrupting?
[30.11.2024 16:27:54] A/)-Venus,: hm... a little but it's not too important what we were talking about
[30.11.2024 16:27:56] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Not really for myself.
[30.11.2024 16:28:09] TS-Brass: My densest apologies for my lateness, Miss Venus.
[30.11.2024 16:28:16] Flora: Great. And what are we talking about?
[30.11.2024 16:28:16] A/)-Venus,: Oh, it's you.
[30.11.2024 16:28:48] A/)-Venus,: You two can chat, I got some business to handle.
[30.11.2024 16:28:51] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: You care much for our industrial dystopia we call 'Rheinland', Gaian?
[30.11.2024 16:28:56] A/)-Venus,: Don't worry about being late.
[30.11.2024 16:29:02] A/)-Venus,: Do you still have questions?
[30.11.2024 16:29:04] Flora: Maybe a little bit. Why?
[30.11.2024 16:29:24] TS-Brass: A plethora. Starting with what you expect to find.
[30.11.2024 16:29:42] A/)-Venus,: Unlike you, we don't see eye-to-eye with the Corsairs.
[30.11.2024 16:30:02] A/)-Venus,: So I don't trust their gifts and I'd rather have someone who might be familiar with their tech look at it
[30.11.2024 16:30:06] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Well... It all depends, what would you like to know?
[30.11.2024 16:30:14] A/)-Venus,: I'm sure you got Junker friends who are more familiar with it?
[30.11.2024 16:30:14] TS-Brass: I never said I did. But we all must pay the price of doing business.
[30.11.2024 16:30:31] TS-Brass: Maybe, though I would prefer the deal to myself for now.
[30.11.2024 16:30:36] Flora: There's a Hessian legend, I believe you should be familiar with.
[30.11.2024 16:30:43] A/)-Venus,: The thing is - I think they might have toyed with these things. So if we were to try them out, bad things could happen
[30.11.2024 16:30:46] Flora: I heard it on Darmstadt, a long time ago.
[30.11.2024 16:30:50] Flora: The Hunt, as they call it.
[30.11.2024 16:30:51] TS-Brass: Ah. Hessian legends. This will be fun.
[30.11.2024 16:30:56] Flora: Know anything about that?
[30.11.2024 16:30:58] TS-Brass: Hold the thought.
[30.11.2024 16:31:02] TS-Brass: I want to hear this.
[30.11.2024 16:31:07] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Ah /Treasure seeking/ are we?
[30.11.2024 16:31:08] A/)-Venus,: Okay...
[30.11.2024 16:31:14] TS-Brass: Treasure!
[30.11.2024 16:31:22] Flora: No, we're just talking.
[30.11.2024 16:31:26] Flora: For now, at least.
[30.11.2024 16:31:47] TS-Brass: Mm. You said you suspected tampering. To what end?
[30.11.2024 16:32:12] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: The Rhein does enjoy its fragile void seeking... Although maybe we're just 'blessed' to have so many of them.
[30.11.2024 16:32:13] TS-Brass: Tampering with regard to you, or another victim?
[30.11.2024 16:32:30] Flora: I'll take it as a roundabout yes.
[30.11.2024 16:32:36] A/)-Venus,: I don't know. It could be laced with melicious code, contain a virus or spyware.
[30.11.2024 16:32:45] A/)-Venus,: As I said, we don't see eye to eye with the Corsairs.
[30.11.2024 16:32:54] TS-Brass: And yet they gave you a gift?
[30.11.2024 16:32:55] A/)-Venus,: So I want their gift to be checked before we do anything with it
[30.11.2024 16:33:22] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Hmm, Usually i try to stay away from such man-made monstrosities, a collection of dangerous radiactive waste scrap.
[30.11.2024 16:33:33] A/)-Venus,: I'd rather have you look at beforehand, before I show it around at home.
[30.11.2024 16:33:50] Flora: I get the feeling we're no longer talking about the same thing.
[30.11.2024 16:33:57] Flora: So why don't we loop back to my original question.
[30.11.2024 16:34:04] Flora: Perhaps you could answer it with a simple yes or not this time?
[30.11.2024 16:34:06] A/)-Venus,: You're getting paid to convince me it's all safe and sound and won't explode in our face.
[30.11.2024 16:34:07] TS-Brass: Agreeable. Unless there's anything else, shall we commence the transfer of title?
[30.11.2024 16:34:33] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: /Hard to do unfortunately for me./
[30.11.2024 16:34:48] Flora: It's three letters at best. Try it.
[30.11.2024 16:35:08] A/)-Venus,: You can try to sell it on the black market for even more profit but I'd like to think that earning our trust might be
[30.11.2024 16:35:12] A/)-Venus,: more valuable to you
[30.11.2024 16:35:25] A/)-Venus,: who knows - maybe there are more jobs that could earn you the big bucks.
[30.11.2024 16:35:39] A/)-Venus,: Take your time with the report.
[30.11.2024 16:35:42] TS-Brass: I would take offense at the implication, but the concern is note unfounded.
[30.11.2024 16:36:19] Flora: Okay, I see I'm not getting anything out of you.
[30.11.2024 16:36:20] TS-Brass: The investigations will commence as soon as I have made something of a laboratory.
[30.11.2024 16:36:23] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Well, for someone seeking that information, what do you know so far?
[30.11.2024 16:36:40] Flora: The more important thing is what I don't know.
[30.11.2024 16:36:43] A/)-Venus,: Very well.
[30.11.2024 16:36:52] Flora: For example, I don't know why you're here with a member of the Hunt. Casually chatting with them.
[30.11.2024 16:37:06] Flora: It's a long way to Rheinland from here.
[30.11.2024 16:37:08] A/)-Venus,: Don't hesitate to call me if you need a hand with something.
[30.11.2024 16:37:14] TS-Brass: Is that in reference to you, then? The hunt?
[30.11.2024 16:37:26] A/)-Venus,: A member of the Hunt?
[30.11.2024 16:37:38] Flora: Oh, don't play coy now.
[30.11.2024 16:37:39] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: /Its a freeport./ And a member of 'The Hunt'?
[30.11.2024 16:37:51] A/)-Venus,: Am I a member of the Hunt?
[30.11.2024 16:37:54] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: I must update my lexicon... All these new names, something I need to keep on top of.
[30.11.2024 16:37:55] Flora: A Wild, an infiltrator, thrall, useful idiot. Any of those ring a bell?
[30.11.2024 16:38:24] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Thats a little extensive.
[30.11.2024 16:38:26] A/)-Venus,: I have no idea what they are talking about.
[30.11.2024 16:38:37] Flora: You're dodging the question and I don't like that.
[30.11.2024 16:38:39] A/)-Venus,: I've never been to this Darmstadt they were talking about
[30.11.2024 16:39:08] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Have to... If you don't want the thralls to grasp your answers like a handle and paint everything you know--
[30.11.2024 16:39:11] TS-Brass: I suppose the wildlings must be scaring more than the usual then.
[30.11.2024 16:39:21] A/)-Venus,: oh by the way, don't forget that bonus for any parts that we can still use and are not destroyed.
[30.11.2024 16:39:31] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: Out onto what I could only described as 'throwing papers into a crowd of malicious souls.'
[30.11.2024 16:39:53] TS-Brass: Understood. Perhaps you should show me my way to Harris, seeing as this madman may want your cargo.
[30.11.2024 16:39:58] Flora: Or you can just kill them. It seems to work a lot better than riddlespeak.
[30.11.2024 16:40:05] Flora: But maybe I just don't know any better.
[30.11.2024 16:40:16] A/)-Venus,: You think?
[30.11.2024 16:40:23] A/)-Venus,: Very well, I'll fly you there
[30.11.2024 16:40:29] TS-Brass: More to destroy it, than anything else.
[30.11.2024 16:40:33] Flora: But if you're not willing to answer the question, fine.
[30.11.2024 16:40:37] Flora: I'll just put you on the list.
[30.11.2024 16:40:44] A/)-Venus,: oh
[30.11.2024 16:40:46] Flora: Oh, not so fast.
[30.11.2024 16:40:53] A/)-Venus,: That's rude
[30.11.2024 16:40:55] Flora: Actually, good call.
[30.11.2024 16:40:58] (=)"Eyes.Of.Entropy": CS: /The list./
[30.11.2024 16:40:59] Flora: The Bundschuh can wait.
[30.11.2024 16:41:02] Flora: I'll kill you first.
[30.11.2024 16:41:40] TS-Brass: Good luck, Miss Venus. Try not to die.
[30.11.2024 16:43:15] TS-Brass: Salutations, Miner. A warning.
[30.11.2024 16:43:16] Raylinc.Woyit: Ray : Greetings Pilot
[30.11.2024 16:43:28] TS-Brass: There is a madman going around shooting up the pilots outside Halifax.
[30.11.2024 16:43:32] TS-Brass: Do be careful.
