"Wish Commander Crowe didn't leave this one to me. Well, can't help it now. I'll try not to be too... Baggy."
"With my primary duties on the Citadel completed, I flew to the Colorado system to join the Bristol convoy escort alongside our other forces: Commander Crowe and Legionnaire Comoro. The convoy was impressive. In addition to several of Bristol transports, there were also DSE ships. And a very diverse company of escorts, including bounty hunters and, to my surprise, the leader of one of the Xenos factions, Cobra. It seems that everyone present has managed to come to some sort of agreement, however unlikely it may seem. I suppose we should give Commander Crowe credit for that."
"Everything was going well and fairly calm until the Galileo border, where we were ambushed by Rogues. Those scumbags never learn. Along with the rest of the escorts, we quickly took care of the attackers, and the convoy was able to continue its journey to Kusari. It was... strange, fighting with Cobra on the same side. And I have to admit, he's a good pilot. Makes you wonder what we could have achieved if Xenos had gotten their heads straight. Maybe Liberty would be a different place."
"After finishing with the convoy, we found ourselves in a rather tense situation. Legionnaires, the Xenos leader, and the Liberty carrier, all in one place. The carrier commander, apparently unable to withstand the tension, decided to retreat without giving us a proper talk... And saying rather strange things. For example, that we want someone "with bags"."
"I don't even know how to describe this dialogue as we tried to hold off the carrier until Exarch West arrived on Incursus. I'll just provide the logs of this fascinating exchange, full of bags and all."
"We parted ways with Cobra in a peaceful manner this time. Can't imagine it becoming something usual, though, given our history."
"Bristol also landed us some money when we were making our way back. I suppose they were grateful for our assistance."

[31.05.2025 21:01:14] XA-Cobra: I don't actually hate you - you're just in the way.
[31.05.2025 21:01:16] Sadako.Dato: Understandable.

[31.05.2025 21:01:22] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I don't suppose there's any chance of calling in the Incursus..
[31.05.2025 21:01:27] Sadako.Dato: Go enjoy your coffee, Captain.
[31.05.2025 21:01:30] TFP)-Onyx.2: Not this far out.
[31.05.2025 21:01:30] XA-Cobra: I did hate what the Commonwealth /tried/ to do.
[31.05.2025 21:01:34] XA-Cobra: But apparently so did you.
[31.05.2025 21:02:24] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Knew it.
[31.05.2025 21:02:32] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Sloppy.
[31.05.2025 21:02:41] XA-Cobra: What? He try to hit you?

[31.05.2025 21:03:14] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Now who's the sloppy one?
[31.05.2025 21:03:19] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Big old carrier, all alone.
[31.05.2025 21:03:29] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Got any fighters to launch, big boy?
[31.05.2025 21:04:29] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: go ahead i know you want them!
[31.05.2025 21:04:37] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Want.. what?

[31.05.2025 21:05:22] TFP)-Locksmith: That's some weird fetish.
[31.05.2025 21:05:23] XA-Cobra: I speak three languages but this must be one of those rare dialects you hear about.
[31.05.2025 21:05:25] XA-Cobra: Stupidanese.

[31.05.2025 21:06:02] XA-Cobra: Yeah.
[31.05.2025 21:06:05] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Why?
[31.05.2025 21:06:09] XA-Cobra: I was taught?
[31.05.2025 21:06:20] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: come on young ones dont play dumb with an old bag like me !
[31.05.2025 21:06:30] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: What is it with this guy and bags..?
[31.05.2025 21:06:33] XA-Cobra: So he's the bag?
[31.05.2025 21:06:38] XA-Cobra: And by want the bag he meant want him?
[31.05.2025 21:06:41] XA-Cobra: Is that right?
[31.05.2025 21:06:49] XA-Cobra: God, this is like a seance but with an idiot instead of a spirit.
[31.05.2025 21:06:50] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: maybe i am!
[31.05.2025 21:06:52] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Not really into older men, sorry champ.

[31.05.2025 21:07:43] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Unlikely.
[31.05.2025 21:07:52] TFP)-Locksmith: Can you please stay? I want your bags now.
[31.05.2025 21:07:53] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Stay for a little history lesson.
[31.05.2025 21:08:06] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: We can exchange bags about it or something.
[31.05.2025 21:08:23] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: this is not the time to mess with old ones!
[31.05.2025 21:08:28] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: So, about half a decade ago, your bags came and dropped bags on our bags, comprende?
[31.05.2025 21:08:33] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Your bags ruined our bags.
[31.05.2025 21:08:56] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Sent what was left of our bags into deep space, took us a whole four years to get our shit - sorry, bags - back together.
[31.05.2025 21:09:00] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Is this sinking in?
[31.05.2025 21:09:05] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: all i know was that you wanted the other side of the coin!
[31.05.2025 21:09:15] TFP)-Locksmith: I swear this just can't get worse.
[31.05.2025 21:09:17] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: So now we've got coins involved.
[31.05.2025 21:09:23] XA-Cobra: I actually wanted the middle of the coin.
[31.05.2025 21:09:36] XA-Cobra: You know, the textured bit, that holds both faces together?
[31.05.2025 21:09:37] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Have your cake and eat it too? Tracks.
[31.05.2025 21:10:13] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Right, so. Bags.
[31.05.2025 21:10:23] XA-Cobra: At least tell us what kind of bag you are.
[31.05.2025 21:10:28] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: We've got a big old bag full of coins on the way.
[31.05.2025 21:10:38] XA-Cobra: Duffel? Gym? School? Tourist? Rucksack?
[31.05.2025 21:10:39] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: And we're going to beat you with it until your bags burst.
[31.05.2025 21:10:42] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: come on young brats are you making a move or i will leave now, im old i need to get entertain you know or else i go sle

[31.05.2025 21:10:57] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Or else he /goes sleepy/.
[31.05.2025 21:11:31] XA-Cobra: Knew I should have just crossed the border.
[31.05.2025 21:11:36] XA-Cobra: Getting vaporized by the KNF beats this.
[31.05.2025 21:11:42] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: You're going to have to wait old man, our big old bags only move so fast.
[31.05.2025 21:11:52] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: crew lets just leave now, keep cruising!
[31.05.2025 21:11:59] TFP)-Locksmith: What, you'd rather be in the bag, Cobra?
[31.05.2025 21:12:12] XA-Cobra: A bodybag at this point - yeah.
[31.05.2025 21:12:23] TFP)-Locksmith: Understandable.
[31.05.2025 21:12:25] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Maybe one day.
[31.05.2025 21:12:37] XA-Cobra: Statistically likely.
[31.05.2025 21:12:48] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Can't have West outlive you, though, right?
[31.05.2025 21:12:48] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: those young ones........ALL speeeeeeed on!
[31.05.2025 21:12:56] XA-Cobra: Absolutely not.

[31.05.2025 21:13:08] TFP)-Locksmith: ...
[31.05.2025 21:13:18] XA-Cobra: He's actually getting away.
[31.05.2025 21:13:34] XA-Cobra: [He cackles]
[31.05.2025 21:13:35] LNS-USS19X: BYE BYE
[31.05.2025 21:13:38] TFP)-Locksmith: Maybe it's for the best.
[31.05.2025 21:15:10] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Not so fast, chucklefuck.
[31.05.2025 21:15:17] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Oh fuck yes.
[31.05.2025 21:15:20] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: This is a crime now!
[31.05.2025 21:15:22] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: What's up.
[31.05.2025 21:15:26] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Oh, no!
[31.05.2025 21:15:27] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Won't argue that.
[31.05.2025 21:15:30] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Not a crime!
[31.05.2025 21:15:35] LNS-USS19X: USS19X: ALL GUNSSSSSS FIREEEEEE!
[31.05.2025 21:15:38] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Yeah. That.

[31.05.2025 21:15:42] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Try me, little man.
[31.05.2025 21:16:18] XA-Cobra: I think your.. bag has that handled.
[31.05.2025 21:16:22] XA-Cobra: Windbag in this case.
[31.05.2025 21:16:38] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Likely.
[31.05.2025 21:16:39] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Can't you just be nice for once, Moretti?
[31.05.2025 21:16:47] XA-Cobra: I already tried that.
[31.05.2025 21:16:53] XA-Cobra: But you always say suggestive things.
[31.05.2025 21:16:55] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: too close lock back
[31.05.2025 21:17:01] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: You're too prime for it.
[31.05.2025 21:17:11] XA-Cobra: Usually at the expense of someone else's modesty.
[31.05.2025 21:17:39] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: You know it's all playful, yeah?
[31.05.2025 21:17:48] XA-Cobra: You give me headaches.
[31.05.2025 21:17:53] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: My hate is all professional.
[31.05.2025 21:18:44] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: Exarch, you missed!
[31.05.2025 21:18:48] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: I'm embarrassed for you.
[31.05.2025 21:18:50] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Do you want an apology, Moretti?
[31.05.2025 21:19:01] XA-Cobra: What good would that do?
[31.05.2025 21:19:08] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: It'd show honesty.
[31.05.2025 21:19:23] XA-Cobra: Adjust right.
[31.05.2025 21:19:25] XA-Cobra: 30.
[31.05.2025 21:19:41] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Give me the ship, Libby boy.
[31.05.2025 21:19:45] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: And I won't skin your hide.
[31.05.2025 21:19:53] XA-Cobra: Do they ever actually take that offer?
[31.05.2025 21:19:57] TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe: We can't get lucky twice in a row.
[31.05.2025 21:19:58] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Some do.
[31.05.2025 21:19:59] TFP)-Locksmith: Actually yes.
[31.05.2025 21:20:48] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Edge of oblivion, Libby.
[31.05.2025 21:20:48] XA-Cobra: Reading fires on all decks.
[31.05.2025 21:20:51] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Face facts.
[31.05.2025 21:21:10] XA-Cobra: Thermals are just white now.
[31.05.2025 21:21:15] XA-Cobra: That actually hurts my eyes.
[31.05.2025 21:21:19] XA-Cobra: [He dims the display]
[31.05.2025 21:21:32] TFP)-HFB-Incursus: West: Don't blind yourself, Moretti.

"It didn't attempt to close in, staying at a very large distance from me and the Freeport. Judging by the fact that I was unable to make visual contact, as well as its general behavior, I suspect that it was a juvenile. For some reason abandoned or expelled by its pack."

[02.06.2025 21:14:37] TFP)-Locksmith: Though usually your kind is either more chatty or more happy to indulge in violence.

[02.06.2025 21:15:02] TFP)-Locksmith: You and me both, buddy.
[02.06.2025 21:15:16] TFP)-Locksmith: Or at least I used to.

[02.06.2025 21:17:32] TFP)-Locksmith: Don't take my friendly disposition for something that'll be usual, though. I've been told to be nice by someone who's wiser-

[02.06.2025 21:20:10] TFP)-Locksmith: Perhaps the Technocracy can take you in.

[02.06.2025 21:26:14] TFP)-Locksmith: Not sure where to look for them, though.
[02.06.2025 21:26:30] TFP)-Locksmith: Something that Revenant might know, actually.
