The tale of Rogue63 and Rogue_81

[Rogue63]

Several weeks later at Rogue base Alcatraz in the California system.

A large gathering of Rogue pilots and guerrilla fighters take seats in the Great Hall awaiting the start of the meeting to discuss future and present events. Alcohol and other substances contribute to a rowdy atmosphere. A older Rogue pilot identified only by the number 63 stitched on his flight suit, stands up and and fires his gun into to ceiling showering the crowd with fragments of rock. Which immediatly gets the crowds attention

"Settle down people time to start this." he states as he walk to a podium elevated above the crowd.

"Recent events as most of you know there was a running battle between Texas and California that ended right next to this station. For the good news 2 Liberty Assault Frigates, 1 Liberty Cruiser, and one Gunboat were destroyed. " pauses as the the room erupts into pandemonium of cheers, after a few moments he raises his hands to quiet the group.

"And for the bad news 4 of our Outcast Destroyer class ships were lost with many of the members of there crews. But the battle was not for nothing, and the lives were not wasted. We stood up to a powerful enemy, and gave as good as we got. It is something to be proud of, no longer are we a group that can be just ignored, but a force to be dealt with. We may not win many battles, but our way of life will continue and we will propser. Continue to fight for the Rogue way of life." Pauses a second

"And for future plans, we can now devulge the plan we have in place and in operation. A prison ship was appropriated for us, and will be used in it's intended purpose." a low mumbling goes through the group "No, it is not for placement of Rogues or any criminals in the laws eyes." pauses for that statement to sink in. "We intend to fill the ship to capacity with Navy, Police, civilian and our good friends the Bounty Hunters." the group erupts into a frenzy of cheers.

"The first idea was to fill the ship and send it into the NY sun or even crash it into Manhatten itself, as a symbolic gesture to the people that try to make our life miserable. But we reconsidered, we do not wish to appear as barbaric in the eyes of the populace. What we decided is probably a fate worse....we plan to turn them over to the Outcasts for a profit of course. Where they can be sold as slaves, and spend the rest of there lives in the cardimine fields of Malta helping to produce the very product they wished to destroy." laughs aloud, and the group joins in.

"For the record we currently have 200+ guests ranging from civilian pilots to Fleet Admirals, and everything inbetween. The ships IFF will be transmitting the code Rogue63_S as a locator for dropping off additional guests. The ship has been rearmed, so unidentified ships will be fired upon. That is all, enjoy yourselves, the bar is open courtesy of Rogue 81 and myself, you've earned it."
