A little fascinating conversation I had initiated with a Crayter pilot hailing from the Borneo garrison. As to why he was there, I can only estimate he was interested in having a break at the Freeport.
Quote:[07.04.2026 21:27:41] C.White: Well, just us two it seems.
[07.04.2026 21:27:53] A/)-Revenant: Indeed!
[07.04.2026 21:28:31] C.White: I was th...thinking of heading back to Inverness. shall we adjourn together?
[07.04.2026 21:30:22] C.White: Hello there Crayter actual.
[07.04.2026 21:30:26] Simon.Murtaugh: Hellew.
[07.04.2026 21:30:54] C.White: Well, I think I'm going to call it a cycle. Take care all.
[07.04.2026 21:30:58] A/)-Revenant: Oh, why are you headed down there?
[07.04.2026 21:31:09] 2026-04-07 21:31:11 SMT Traffic control alert: C.White has docked
[07.04.2026 21:31:16] A/)-Revenant: Oh well.
[07.04.2026 21:31:18] Simon.Murtaugh: Huh.
[07.04.2026 21:31:52] A/)-Revenant: What's the deal being this far out? You a part of the Tau Republic?
[07.04.2026 21:32:14] Simon.Murtaugh: Yeah. You'd be right.
[07.04.2026 21:32:26] A/)-Revenant: Tau-44 lot then.
[07.04.2026 21:32:30] Simon.Murtaugh: Mhm. Borneo.
[07.04.2026 21:32:39] A/)-Revenant: Rarer breed these days.
[07.04.2026 21:32:46] A/)-Revenant: Typically you only hear the barking of the Yuma lot.
[07.04.2026 21:32:50] Simon.Murtaugh: Someone needs to fill the saddle.
[07.04.2026 21:33:01] A/)-Revenant: Hope the Outcasts haven't been a problem lately?
[07.04.2026 21:33:28] Simon.Murtaugh: Yuma's lot are a little problematic. I've got something of an inkling that they're worsening relations between us and the Mine.
[07.04.2026 21:33:31] Simon.Murtaugh: Miners, even.
[07.04.2026 21:33:46] Simon.Murtaugh: It's been happening for years and it's only getting worse.
[07.04.2026 21:33:53] A/)-Revenant: They probably are. They keep on aggravating them from what I hear.
[07.04.2026 21:34:43] Simon.Murtaugh: I wish I could do something about it. But unfortunately, Yuma's always pulling the reins.
[07.04.2026 21:34:53] Simon.Murtaugh: We ought to have more of a say in foreign matters.
[07.04.2026 21:35:32] A/)-Revenant: Borneo doesn't get a say in their position?
[07.04.2026 21:35:37] A/)-Revenant: That seems weird, considering your... locale.
[07.04.2026 21:35:53] Simon.Murtaugh: We've planted our HQ on Yuma, so whatever congress says, goes.
[07.04.2026 21:36:08] A/)-Revenant: Oh, so...
[07.04.2026 21:36:13] Simon.Murtaugh: It should've stayed on Borneo.
[07.04.2026 21:38:08] Simon.Murtaugh: Regardless, we've seen you lot for quite some time now.
[07.04.2026 21:38:42] Simon.Murtaugh: Yuma's detachment even tried something significant a couple of years back on your turf.
[07.04.2026 21:38:51] A/)-Revenant: "We"?
[07.04.2026 21:38:55] A/)-Revenant: Oh, right, not me-me.
[07.04.2026 21:39:04] A/)-Revenant: Yes, it's been erm...
[07.04.2026 21:39:12] A/)-Revenant: Rather problematic that the Yuma lot are insistant on war.
[07.04.2026 21:39:41] A/)-Revenant: How many times was peace attempted... Four? Five? I don't know. It's concerning how they've become
[07.04.2026 21:39:47] A/)-Revenant: the puppets of Liberty
[07.04.2026 21:40:02] A/)-Revenant: Probably explains the friction with the IMG.
[07.04.2026 21:40:10] A/)-Revenant: Since Liberty took their operations away in Magellan
[07.04.2026 21:40:55] A/)-Revenant: And Omega-3... well... yeah. It piles up.
[07.04.2026 21:41:18] Simon.Murtaugh: It's a good thing that The Blast happened at all.
[07.04.2026 21:41:28] A/)-Revenant: Jericho?
[07.04.2026 21:41:48] Simon.Murtaugh: Yeah.
[07.04.2026 21:41:55] Eternal.Journey: J: A Crayterian? Not often I see you guys.
[07.04.2026 21:41:57] A/)-Revenant: Mmm... I don't think it's the end of it.
[07.04.2026 21:42:00] A/)-Revenant: Hard to tell.
[07.04.2026 21:42:01] Simon.Murtaugh: Hello. Yes, we exist, too.
[07.04.2026 21:42:12] A/)-Revenant: Our collaboration with Crayter ended long ago.
[07.04.2026 21:42:17] A/)-Revenant: So... our data is quite dated.
[07.04.2026 21:42:47] Death: Sakkariarsi was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[07.04.2026 21:43:06] Simon.Murtaugh: Nevertheless, it's caused /us/ our share of troubles. Our voice needs to be heard, too.
[07.04.2026 21:43:35] A/)-Revenant: Surprised to hear there's friction, but somehow not surprised.
[07.04.2026 21:43:51] A/)-Revenant: Seems to be similar shit around the sector. Politicians thinking they're on thrones, ignoring the needs of their people.
[07.04.2026 21:44:07] Simon.Murtaugh: Not exactly friction, as much as it is... well, Yuma doing all of the decisions. And us being on the more direct receiving end-
[07.04.2026 21:44:08] Simon.Murtaugh: of it.
[07.04.2026 21:44:23] A/)-Revenant: Your voices aren't being heard, are they? Suffocation.
[07.04.2026 21:44:38] Simon.Murtaugh: Not all of us are pleased with their foreign policies.
[07.04.2026 21:44:57] Simon.Murtaugh: Excuse my language, but pissing off the Miners is never a good idea.
[07.04.2026 21:45:04] A/)-Revenant: Probably not.
[07.04.2026 21:46:06] Eternal.Journey: J: I assume I've returned to some conversation midway.
[07.04.2026 21:46:12] Simon.Murtaugh: Pretty much.
[07.04.2026 21:46:26] Eternal.Journey: J: Trying to follow it is proving difficult
[07.04.2026 21:46:29] A/)-Revenant: Uh.
[07.04.2026 21:46:56] Simon.Murtaugh: I'm only trying to discuss the current state of things going on with Yuma.
[07.04.2026 21:47:06] Simon.Murtaugh: I'm a little disgruntled about it.
[07.04.2026 21:47:40] Eternal.Journey: J: Yuma? You on about Jericho and what happened with that... thing?
[07.04.2026 21:47:45] Simon.Murtaugh: Yep.
[07.04.2026 21:47:54] A/)-Revenant: Nobody knows what's going on.
[07.04.2026 21:47:56] Simon.Murtaugh: The Blast created a new sun for a couple of minutes.
[07.04.2026 21:48:07] Simon.Murtaugh: And it disappointed a LOT of investors.
[07.04.2026 21:48:16] A/)-Revenant: And brought new ones in...
[07.04.2026 21:48:47] Eternal.Journey: J: I've only heard rumours of the damage from that blast, and I've not breached out from the Barrier to take a look myself.
[07.04.2026 21:49:28] Simon.Murtaugh: You're not missing out on anything.
[07.04.2026 21:49:36] Simon.Murtaugh: Don't approach Jericho.
[07.04.2026 21:49:52] Simon.Murtaugh: Unless you want tumors to be scooped out of you with a straw in the next couple of months.
[07.04.2026 21:49:54] Simon.Murtaugh: It's your loss.
[07.04.2026 21:51:31] A/)-Revenant: Think there's a little bit more than radiological hazards there.
[07.04.2026 21:52:41] Simon.Murtaugh: It can't get worse than radiological damage. What exactly is worse than having tumors grow all over your body?
[07.04.2026 21:52:49] A/)-Revenant: Have you seen the colour of it?
[07.04.2026 21:53:10] A/)-Revenant: There's a reason why we had a research cooperation agreement with your government all those years ago.
[07.04.2026 21:53:14] Simon.Murtaugh: It's... purple. No, white. Or... blue? And also kind of yellow. It hurts to look at.
[07.04.2026 21:53:23] A/)-Revenant: It's alien.
[07.04.2026 21:53:35] Simon.Murtaugh: It's somehow worse than staring at the sun without solar eye protection.
[07.04.2026 21:55:09] Eternal.Journey: J: Alien? As in, Omicron "you'll go missing if you stray too far from the beaten path" kinda alien or something else?
[07.04.2026 21:55:17] DTR-CC>Pablo.Tranquilo was shot out of the skies by Fuath(59%)
[07.04.2026 21:55:22] A/)-Revenant: Eh.
[07.04.2026 21:55:26] A/)-Revenant: Yes.
[07.04.2026 21:55:27] A/)-Revenant: Probably.
[07.04.2026 21:55:35] Simon.Murtaugh: It's really bad.
[07.04.2026 21:55:54] Eternal.Journey: J: I was slightly curious before, but now I think I'll take your word for it.
[07.04.2026 21:56:14] A/)-Revenant: I really don't think it's the end of it.
[07.04.2026 21:56:17] A/)-Revenant: But the start of something else.
[07.04.2026 21:56:40] Simon.Murtaugh: It's not? Where else could it strike?
[07.04.2026 21:56:47] A/)-Revenant: Not strike.
[07.04.2026 21:56:56] A/)-Revenant: But a ripple effect, for other mechanisms to activate.
[07.04.2026 21:57:18] Eternal.Journey: J: Like a cascade effect?
[07.04.2026 21:57:36] Simon.Murtaugh: Shoot, we oughta evacuate Yuma. Before this happens, I mean.
[07.04.2026 21:58:06] A/)-Revenant: I don't know. All we can do is watch.
[07.04.2026 21:58:22] A/)-Revenant: I don't think evacuations will be hefty enough -- and opportunists would pick them apart.
[07.04.2026 21:58:50] Eternal.Journey: J: I mean, is the Barrier touched by it?
[07.04.2026 21:59:01] Eternal.Journey: J: Barrier Gate?
[07.04.2026 21:59:15] A/)-Revenant: It might have been briefly, but they appear to be thriving.
[07.04.2026 21:59:40] Eternal.Journey: J: And it isn't suffering from any effects of whatever's happening right now?
[07.04.2026 21:59:44] Simon.Murtaugh: It ain't called the Barrier nebula for nothing.
[07.04.2026 22:03:18] Eternal.Journey: J: Might be worth investigating what, if anything is causing it to be untouched.
[07.04.2026 22:03:38] A/)-Revenant: I wish, but I suspect Liberty and Bretona, or even the Order, are going to crawl all over it.
[07.04.2026 22:03:51] A/)-Revenant: And to be expected - try to weaponise it for their power.
[07.04.2026 22:06:16] Eternal.Journey: J: Hardly something new.
[07.04.2026 22:06:30] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[07.04.2026 22:06:56] Eternal.Journey: J: Wouldn't be surprised if they're already trying to weaponise Jericho.
[07.04.2026 22:07:57] A/)-Revenant: Or Ontario.

[07.04.2026 22:08:51] Simon.Murtaugh: Speaking of which.
[07.04.2026 22:08:59] Simon.Murtaugh: The Xenos are always as delightful as ever.
[07.04.2026 22:09:06] Simon.Murtaugh: Very cheery bunch.
[07.04.2026 22:09:12] A/)-Revenant: Pfheh, aren't they always.
[07.04.2026 22:10:27] Simon.Murtaugh: They were very nice, they were even willing to send my entrails back to Yuma free of charge.
[07.04.2026 22:13:55] A/)-Revenant: Charming.
[07.04.2026 22:13:57] Eternal.Journey: J: Mmmm.
[07.04.2026 22:13:59] A/)-Revenant: But expected.
[07.04.2026 22:14:05] Simon.Murtaugh: Things are changing.
[07.04.2026 22:14:07] A/)-Revenant: They're nothing more than vicious murderers.
[07.04.2026 22:16:08] Eternal.Journey: J: Eh, I suppose we'll know when they crack it.
[07.04.2026 22:16:47] Eternal.Journey: J: In any case, I need to go get some shuteye. The flight over took longer than I wanted and wasn't the smoothest.
[07.04.2026 22:17:12] Simon.Murtaugh: Very well.
[07.04.2026 22:17:14] Eternal.Journey: J: Be seeing you two around, I suppose. Stars keep you.
[07.04.2026 22:17:24] Simon.Murtaugh: So long, spacer.
[07.04.2026 22:17:27] A/)-Revenant: Be well.
[07.04.2026 22:17:38] 2026-04-07 22:17:41 SMT Traffic control alert: Eternal.Journey has docked
[07.04.2026 22:18:45] Simon.Murtaugh: Have you been around Bretonia lately, by any chance?
[07.04.2026 22:18:51] A/)-Revenant: Errr, good question.
[07.04.2026 22:19:01] A/)-Revenant: Define lately? Last few months? Sure.
[07.04.2026 22:20:06] Simon.Murtaugh: I've missed out on what's going on over that general area recently. It's not really my neck of the woods.
[07.04.2026 22:20:22] Simon.Murtaugh: Last time I was there, though, I saw a Ranseur being towed by Militants, of all things.
[07.04.2026 22:20:31] A/)-Revenant: Mollys are on the bullseye at the moment.
[07.04.2026 22:20:40] A/)-Revenant: Bretonia, Kusari is eager to 'resolve' the Dublin issue.
[07.04.2026 22:20:57] A/)-Revenant: Saw some prisoner convoys going from Bretonia to Liberty lately.
[07.04.2026 22:22:14] Simon.Murtaugh: Is that right?
[07.04.2026 22:22:25] Simon.Murtaugh: For what purpose?
[07.04.2026 22:22:26] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[07.04.2026 22:22:43] A/)-Revenant: No idea. They seemed to have headed to Texas, I didn't bother to stalk them any further.
[07.04.2026 22:22:49] A/)-Revenant: Exchange of goods, I presume.
[07.04.2026 22:22:54] A/)-Revenant: A work force for Liberty, goods from Liberty.
[07.04.2026 22:24:39] A/)-Revenant: That would be my best estimate, but who knows.
[07.04.2026 22:25:08] Simon.Murtaugh: Bah.
[07.04.2026 22:25:24] Simon.Murtaugh: I keep telling everybody that Jericho was a blessing, and this is exactly why.
[07.04.2026 22:25:24] A/)-Revenant: Mmm... Bleak days.
[07.04.2026 22:25:52] Simon.Murtaugh: Liberty's MO has become scummy, and has been for quite some time.
[07.04.2026 22:26:06] Simon.Murtaugh: We owe them a lot for what they've done to us, but they can't yank our chains any longer now.
[07.04.2026 22:26:29] A/)-Revenant: Has become? Heh... More like they are being far less subtle.
[07.04.2026 22:26:31] Simon.Murtaugh: For goodness's sake. We're part of the Independent Worlds.
[07.04.2026 22:26:42] Simon.Murtaugh: Their behaviour is unacceptable.
[07.04.2026 22:26:47] A/)-Revenant: It's not looking so independent anymore, is it?
[07.04.2026 22:26:53] Simon.Murtaugh: No, and this has to change.
[07.04.2026 22:27:04] A/)-Revenant: How? You cannot bite the hand that feeds Crayter.
[07.04.2026 22:27:07] A/)-Revenant: Especially not in a crisis.
[07.04.2026 22:28:43] Simon.Murtaugh: I... don't really have an expertise in speaking to political figures.
[07.04.2026 22:29:15] Simon.Murtaugh: How does one speak to their own Republic's suits in such a way where my words are actually going to matter?
[07.04.2026 22:29:23] Simon.Murtaugh: I can't run through the red tape, that'd be illegal.
[07.04.2026 22:29:28] A/)-Revenant: Protests?
[07.04.2026 22:29:31] A/)-Revenant: Is it legal to protest?
[07.04.2026 22:29:38] Simon.Murtaugh: Sure is.
[07.04.2026 22:29:47] A/)-Revenant: Maybe gather opinions, backings.
[07.04.2026 22:30:00] A/)-Revenant: Get multiple voices, speak up for the people.
[07.04.2026 22:30:10] A/)-Revenant: Let it be known that you are not the only voice who is suffering out there.
[07.04.2026 22:30:40] Simon.Murtaugh: Sure. I'll pass it along.
[07.04.2026 22:30:48] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps petitions...
[07.04.2026 22:31:36] Simon.Murtaugh: You're... being surprisingly really helpful towards me. I was kind of expecting you to swat me out of the skies for -
[07.04.2026 22:31:38] Simon.Murtaugh: simply existing.
[07.04.2026 22:31:41] Simon.Murtaugh: I appreciate it.
[07.04.2026 22:32:17] A/)-Revenant: I don't have a problem with the Borneo folk.
[07.04.2026 22:32:21] A/)-Revenant: Just remember.
[07.04.2026 22:32:22] Simon.Murtaugh: Yuma's lot really did have the wrong idea.
[07.04.2026 22:32:23] A/)-Revenant: We wanted peace.
[07.04.2026 22:32:25] A/)-Revenant: Five times.
[07.04.2026 22:32:29] A/)-Revenant: /Five/. Times.
[07.04.2026 22:32:34] Simon.Murtaugh: How did it go awry five consecutive times?
[07.04.2026 22:32:34] A/)-Revenant: And each times they kept blasting it down.
[07.04.2026 22:32:47] A/)-Revenant: So, suffice to say, we're not interested in the backstabbing business anymore.
[07.04.2026 22:32:55] A/)-Revenant: And I doubt the new Directorate would be either.
[07.04.2026 22:33:06] [OOC] A/)-Revenant: getting backstabbed business*
[07.04.2026 22:33:30] A/)-Revenant: Oh, they find themselves to be opportunistic, now they're on some kind of... zealous idea that we're some kind of
[07.04.2026 22:33:41] A/)-Revenant: robotic 'technomancers'... As if they're in some kind of sci-fi movie.
[07.04.2026 22:34:03] A/)-Revenant: We're not assimilators, not conquerers, we just wanted our own tiny corner for studying.
[07.04.2026 22:34:21] A/)-Revenant: I don't know. They're borderline delusional, these Crayter first fleet pilots.
[07.04.2026 22:34:32] Simon.Murtaugh: It needs to change.
[07.04.2026 22:34:38] A/)-Revenant: Maybe the president was swapped out for a Liberty puppet.
[07.04.2026 22:35:00] Simon.Murtaugh: I'm sick of being dragged in the mud with people who think they speak for the rest of us.
[07.04.2026 22:35:11] A/)-Revenant: Maybe also talk to the IMG, see what they'd like to change?
[07.04.2026 22:35:17] Simon.Murtaugh: Ideally, yes.
[07.04.2026 22:35:28] Simon.Murtaugh: They were our allies since the start.
[07.04.2026 22:35:40] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[07.04.2026 22:37:38] Simon.Murtaugh: Well, thanks. This has been refreshing. I'll talk to a bunch of people and see if I can goad something of a petition.
[07.04.2026 22:37:39] A/)-Revenant: Well, I'm afraid my 'insight' for current day politics is probably going to be limited. I'm usually out and about.
[07.04.2026 22:37:43] Simon.Murtaugh: High Command can't ignore this for long.
[07.04.2026 22:37:53] A/)-Revenant: You do you, but I hope there'll be peace one day.
[07.04.2026 22:38:00] A/)-Revenant: None of this House imperialist nonsense.
[07.04.2026 22:38:08] Simon.Murtaugh: I hope so, as well. The Independent Worlds need to remain as such.
[07.04.2026 22:38:27] Simon.Murtaugh: Liberty's influence has stringed us along for long enough.
[07.04.2026 22:38:51] A/)-Revenant: Er.
[07.04.2026 22:38:56] A/)-Revenant: Question.
[07.04.2026 22:38:57] A/)-Revenant: The Outcasts.
[07.04.2026 22:38:59] Simon.Murtaugh: Yes?
[07.04.2026 22:39:04] Simon.Murtaugh: My favourite subject.
[07.04.2026 22:39:07] A/)-Revenant: Have they been up to no good lately? Or higher transport loads?
[07.04.2026 22:39:17] Simon.Murtaugh: Nothing out of the ordinary.
[07.04.2026 22:39:27] A/)-Revenant: Becaaaause... Xenos are apparently in a trade agreement with them.
[07.04.2026 22:39:36] A/)-Revenant: So that might be an interesting equation to the mix.
[07.04.2026 22:39:40] Simon.Murtaugh: That will not do.
[07.04.2026 22:40:15] Simon.Murtaugh: There's truly so much that needs to change.
[07.04.2026 22:40:21] Simon.Murtaugh: Thankfully, the Outcasts won't.
[07.04.2026 22:40:26] Simon.Murtaugh: Makes things easier for the rest of us.
[07.04.2026 22:40:42] A/)-Revenant: They certainly won't, no, but they are manipulative.
[07.04.2026 22:40:46] A/)-Revenant: Strings being pulled.
[07.04.2026 22:40:58] A/)-Revenant: Using other groups as proxies, eghh...
[07.04.2026 22:41:00] A/)-Revenant: Gets complicated.
[07.04.2026 22:42:37] A/)-Revenant: But alas, we'll see what turns up in the future I suppose.
[07.04.2026 22:43:26] Simon.Murtaugh: Mhm.
[07.04.2026 22:43:37] Simon.Murtaugh: Hopefully, I can try to wrangle some good sense into the Miners again.
[07.04.2026 22:44:19] A/)-Revenant: Hopefully. But they are very skeptical, within reason.
[07.04.2026 22:45:22] Simon.Murtaugh: I don't know.
[07.04.2026 22:45:29] Simon.Murtaugh: They really helped us a lot.
[07.04.2026 22:45:43] Simon.Murtaugh: We wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for their help.
[07.04.2026 22:45:49] A/)-Revenant: Yeah, and betrayal stings.
[07.04.2026 22:45:50] A/)-Revenant: A lot.
[07.04.2026 22:45:57] A/)-Revenant: Especially if it happens more than once.
[07.04.2026 22:46:02] Evelyn.Taylor: Mhm. Trauma dumping are we?
[07.04.2026 22:46:09] A/)-Revenant: On the IMG's behalf, yes.
[07.04.2026 22:46:16] Evelyn.Taylor: Funny.
[07.04.2026 22:46:47] Evelyn.Taylor: Were either of you ever part of the Guild?
[07.04.2026 22:47:28] A/)-Revenant: Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh...
[07.04.2026 22:47:32] A/)-Revenant: Let's say for this question: no.
[07.04.2026 22:47:41] A/)-Revenant: I did contract work for them in the past, regularly flew with convoys.
[07.04.2026 22:48:00] Evelyn.Taylor: Associated then.
[07.04.2026 22:48:12] A/)-Revenant: Contractor work, yes, so... effectively: no.
[07.04.2026 22:48:55] Evelyn.Taylor: My Guild law is a tad rusty, but I believe there would be no objections to calling a repeat contractor an associate of the-
[07.04.2026 22:48:57] Evelyn.Taylor: -Guild.
[07.04.2026 22:49:10] A/)-Revenant: Been too many years, it was during Hendersons time.
[07.04.2026 22:49:24] Evelyn.Taylor: I suppose an associate doing the complaining on the Guilds behalf is better than some random stranger.
[07.04.2026 22:49:34] Evelyn.Taylor: Even if it was an associate from that distant past.
[07.04.2026 22:50:16] A/)-Revenant: Well, it's pains I can see them having, and sharing sympathy for it.
[07.04.2026 22:50:24] A/)-Revenant: I've experienced betrayal from Bretonia, the IMG did too...
[07.04.2026 22:50:30] A/)-Revenant: So funny coincidences.
[07.04.2026 22:51:10] A/)-Revenant: It really didn't help how Crayter elements assisted Bretonia in that incident, so... That was the first setting stone for their
[07.04.2026 22:51:11] A/)-Revenant: tensions.
[07.04.2026 22:51:36] A/)-Revenant: Yes, yes, Yuma politicians dismissed it as rebels ... with an entire battleship. But it's still scars they bare.
[07.04.2026 22:52:55] Evelyn.Taylor: The Crayterian truly does not know his own history?
[07.04.2026 22:53:12] A/)-Revenant: I don't know if people from Borneo know the same stories as everyone else.
[07.04.2026 22:53:14] Simon.Murtaugh: What do you want, Gaul?
[07.04.2026 22:53:23] A/)-Revenant: Is she a Gaul?
[07.04.2026 22:53:27] A/)-Revenant: I thought she was some mercenary.
[07.04.2026 22:53:46] Evelyn.Taylor: How many Gauls do you know with the last name Taylor?
[07.04.2026 22:54:06] Evelyn.Taylor: And I prefer independent contractor, if you don't mind.
[07.04.2026 22:54:14] Simon.Murtaugh: Pardon me for getting a little antsy over the sight of a Lynx.
[07.04.2026 22:54:21] Simon.Murtaugh: We've lost a lot of people to those things.
[07.04.2026 22:54:38] A/)-Revenant: Fortunately ships are not autonomous intelligences then.
[07.04.2026 22:54:55] Evelyn.Taylor: Do you also get antsy at the sight of water? As plenty of people have drowned in it before.
[07.04.2026 22:56:05] Simon.Murtaugh: Pah.
[07.04.2026 22:57:22] Evelyn.Taylor: If I might do some infering passed on the conversation I've overheard and participated in thus far.
[07.04.2026 22:57:30] Evelyn.Taylor: Based even.
[07.04.2026 22:58:10] Evelyn.Taylor: I take it to mean that our Crayterian friend here does not understand the current distrust the Guild has for the Miners Guild?
[07.04.2026 22:58:25] Evelyn.Taylor: Or the Republic rather,
[07.04.2026 22:58:37] A/)-Revenant: I'll leave him to answer for himself.
[07.04.2026 22:58:44] Evelyn.Taylor: Apologies, I've been awake for a truly egregious amount of time.
[07.04.2026 22:58:59] Simon.Murtaugh: I'm... no, I'm not aware of what's going on between your guilds.
[07.04.2026 22:59:26] Simon.Murtaugh: The Hunters aren't particularly in the general scope of my interests either.
[07.04.2026 22:59:55] Evelyn.Taylor: I meant why the Miners Guild distrusts the Crayterian Republic.
[07.04.2026 23:00:01] Simon.Murtaugh: Oh.
[07.04.2026 23:00:24] Simon.Murtaugh: Then yes, of course I know.
[07.04.2026 23:00:46] Evelyn.Taylor: Mhm, a testy one, aren't you?
[07.04.2026 23:01:23] Simon.Murtaugh: I'm not testy, I just don't want to be finger-wagged by some random "contractor" about my own people's history.
[07.04.2026 23:01:39] Evelyn.Taylor: I had no intention of finger wagging.
[07.04.2026 23:01:51] Evelyn.Taylor: I was merely just hoping to understand the current situation.
[07.04.2026 23:02:13] Simon.Murtaugh: Ah.
It appears that some of the Crayterians are discontent with the government on Yuma. Perhaps something to inquire with the IMG about a possible change of circumstances with Crayter in the future? It is also quite possible that this is a ploy to probe for information. In any case, I'll be returning to Kusari shortly after this transmission.
