while being in Malta's orbit today I received word of an outcast MNS-tagged vessel in California. I've established contact to said ship to talk to the captain. I intended to tell her that she would have to leave Liberty unless she had a good reason to stay there, and furthermore register her ship as I couldn't find it in the database. I was confronted with the following:
The Captain of said vessel has obviously gone rogue and doesn't care a thing about the outcast nation and our government. I've tried to explain to the captain what she was really doing there and that wasting our capital ships down there would harm the whole outcast nation. In fact I achieved nothing but wasting time.
I then decided to contact the next Liberty Rogue to inform the about the circumstances. He was able to tell me that the vessel was of the destroyer class. As we've experienced a couple of times, showing mercy to undiscerning captains and commanders encourages other to follow them, that's why I encouraged our allies to solve the matter. I think we should keep an eye on said vessel and make an example on the captain as her completely lack of respect towards our government as well as our forces could harm the order within our nation.
I'll attach the complete comm-log:
Quote:[22.11.2009 11:47:58] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Captain of the Catharsis, this is Nero D'Ortona of the 101st, please state your vessel class
[22.11.2009 11:48:53] MNS-Catharsis: Not sure, but we're big.
[22.11.2009 11:48:57] MNS-Catharsis: I mean, really big.
[22.11.2009 11:48:59] MNS-Catharsis: Like totally big.
[22.11.2009 11:49:04] MNS-Catharsis: And *hic* a tad drunk.
[22.11.2009 11:49:21] MNS-Catharsis: Oh baby! I got an idea! You can call us X! X! L!
[22.11.2009 11:49:40] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: being drunk is actually a bad idea for someone commanding something big
[22.11.2009 11:49:46] MNS-Catharsis: *falls over backwards, out of her chair*
[22.11.2009 11:50:02] MNS-Catharsis: *tries to crawl back in and looks at the viewscreen*
[22.11.2009 11:50:04] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Well, I suggest you pick something to wrote my words down or record this transmission, so you will remember it later
[22.11.2009 11:50:09] MNS-Catharsis: Ugh... well... uh.
[22.11.2009 11:50:13] MNS-Catharsis: How 'bout...
[22.11.2009 11:50:15] MNS-Catharsis: HELL NAW!
[22.11.2009 11:50:38] MNS-Catharsis: Not lik... *hic* like I'd care anyway.
[22.11.2009 11:50:55] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Oh, you will care, for your own good and the good of your crew
[22.11.2009 11:51:00] MNS-Catharsis: I'm bloody tired of playing traffic control outside of Malta, and so's the crew!
[22.11.2009 11:51:16] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Ah, so you have an idea what this is about
[22.11.2009 11:51:18] MNS-Catharsis: I care by gettin' them to places! Showing them the universe! And Sirius! And and and... ugh... where am I?
[22.11.2009 11:52:02] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: that's only half the issue, fielding a big ship into places where you won't have the necessary support or maintenance
[22.11.2009 11:52:26] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: the other part is, I've just checked the Council capship registry
[22.11.2009 11:52:43] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: All MNS vessels have to register there
[22.11.2009 11:53:21] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I hope you turned your recorder on
[22.11.2009 11:54:01] MNS-Catharsis: Uh.
[22.11.2009 11:54:03] MNS-Catharsis: Well.
[22.11.2009 11:54:11] MNS-Catharsis: Let m... *hic* me put it this way.
[22.11.2009 11:54:18] MNS-Catharsis: I don't care about your council.
[22.11.2009 11:54:35] MNS-Catharsis: According to your, and I say your 'cause it ain' mine, that Council... according to it...
[22.11.2009 11:54:44] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: This council is yours aswell
[22.11.2009 11:54:47] MNS-Catharsis: I'm supposed to watch the Slavers and Smugglers outside Malta.
[22.11.2009 11:54:49] MNS-Catharsis: Nope!
[22.11.2009 11:54:53] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: It is
[22.11.2009 11:55:04] MNS-Catharsis: *raises her finger and then points it at the screen* It is -your- Council.
[22.11.2009 11:55:07] MNS-Catharsis: Not mine!
[22.11.2009 11:55:09] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: You are commanding an outcast capital ship, right?
[22.11.2009 11:55:09] MNS-Catharsis: Not anymore!
[22.11.2009 11:55:11] MNS-Catharsis: I don't care!
[22.11.2009 11:55:14] MNS-Catharsis: Nope!
[22.11.2009 11:55:16] MNS-Catharsis: Not anymore!
[22.11.2009 11:55:20] MNS-Catharsis: Hey wait.
[22.11.2009 11:55:24] MNS-Catharsis: That -IS- an idea!
[22.11.2009 11:55:25] MNS-Catharsis: Thanks!
[22.11.2009 11:56:32] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: B-B-BINGO!
[22.11.2009 11:56:37] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Problem solved.
[22.11.2009 11:56:38] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: *hic*
[22.11.2009 11:57:16] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: See? Not my Council anymore.
[22.11.2009 11:57:20] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: But yours! *giggles*
[22.11.2009 11:57:23] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Poor you.
[22.11.2009 11:57:31] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: *hic* Now you can do the traffic control part.
[22.11.2009 11:57:58] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: But me? And my crew? We're go... *leans back in her seat and almost falls out of it*... Ooops...
[22.11.2009 11:58:08] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Err... right. We... WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE UNIVERSE!
[22.11.2009 11:58:12] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: All of it! Wooo!
[22.11.2009 11:58:14] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: If you are intending to leave the outcast forces, I suggest to return OUR ship to us, otherwise you will loose it the hard way
[22.11.2009 11:58:24] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Uhm.
[22.11.2009 11:58:31] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Right now.
[22.11.2009 11:58:34] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Wait, idea!
[22.11.2009 11:58:40] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Let's ask the crew whose ship it is.
[22.11.2009 11:58:50] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: CREEEW! Tell 'im! Whose ship is this?
[22.11.2009 11:59:11] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Crew shouts in unison: YOURS YOURS YOURS! YOURS CAPTAIN! ALL YOURS! TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
[22.11.2009 12:01:14] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: *hic*
[22.11.2009 12:01:16] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Right.
[22.11.2009 12:01:36] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: As you can or can not see, this ship... whoa waaait, I think we need a n.. *hic* new name.
[22.11.2009 12:02:14] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Anyways, ain' your ship anymore! All mine!
[22.11.2009 12:02:17] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: And I?
[22.11.2009 12:02:47] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I'll hand this issue to the Council, until then, you are most likely Kill on Sight by our forces
[22.11.2009 12:02:47] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: *rips the Maltese Navy badge off her uniform and flings it away* [22.11.2009 12:03:10] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: I ain' part of your Navy, I ain't giving a rat's smelly rear-end about -your- Council.
[22.11.2009 12:03:14] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: And the crew ain' either.
[22.11.2009 12:03:20] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: So send 'em all after us!
[22.11.2009 12:03:25] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: We can run faster than you lot can.
[22.11.2009 12:03:28] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: 'Sides!
[22.11.2009 12:03:34] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I just wonder how a traitor like you got hands on one of our capital ships
[22.11.2009 12:03:34] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: We're waaay far ahead. *hic*
[22.11.2009 12:03:51] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Dun' you call me a traitor, I'm loyal to Malta!
[22.11.2009 12:03:59] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: You aren't
[22.11.2009 12:04:02] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: But not to the doltbags who let me run traffic control for ages.
[22.11.2009 12:04:20] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Is one thing to be loyal to your Council, another to be loyal to the good men and women on our home.
[22.11.2009 12:04:37] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: It was your choice to take command of a capital ship, you could aswell have worked in a fighter
[22.11.2009 12:04:45] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: I did once!
[22.11.2009 12:04:52] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: noone would have stopped you from flying to Liberty then
[22.11.2009 12:05:14] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Who cares 'bout Liberty, the whole durn universe is what I wan' to see!
[22.11.2009 12:05:33] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Liberty's just a small step on the road to infiniii..*hic* Infinity!
[22.11.2009 12:06:22] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Do so in a smaller ship, if you want to do it with your crew, do it in a liner or transport
[22.11.2009 12:06:39] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: But don't waste our military technology for your personal fun
[22.11.2009 12:07:25] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: That's why you are a traitor to Malta, this firepower is needed here to defend us against the corsairs
[22.11.2009 12:08:20] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Uh.
[22.11.2009 12:08:23] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Amigo.
[22.11.2009 12:08:32] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Last shift I had outside Malta...
[22.11.2009 12:08:35] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Four.
[22.11.2009 12:08:36] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: FOUR.
[22.11.2009 12:08:38] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: FOOOUR.
[22.11.2009 12:08:50] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Ranseurs out in upper orbit.
[22.11.2009 12:08:57] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Not one.
[22.11.2009 12:08:58] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: Not two.
[22.11.2009 12:09:01] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: No, not three.
[22.11.2009 12:09:03] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: FOUR.
[22.11.2009 12:09:23] Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship: *hic* I ain' cut for traffic control.
No the conversation with the Liberty rogue:
Quote:[22.11.2009 12:08:19] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: *establishing long range transmission*
[22.11.2009 12:08:25] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: greetings rogue
[22.11.2009 12:08:39] LR-I.Blame.Society: *Raises eyebrow*
[22.11.2009 12:08:43] LR-I.Blame.Society: Howdy there.
[22.11.2009 12:09:11] LR-I.Blame.Society: What do ya need?
[22.11.2009 12:09:19] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I've got an information for you, seems one of our capital ships has gone rogue
[22.11.2009 12:09:41] LR-I.Blame.Society: I see, I heard some Rogues engaged an Outcast Destroyer earlier today.
[22.11.2009 12:09:43] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: It has been in California before and is in Ontario now
[22.11.2009 12:10:25] LR-I.Blame.Society: So, let me guess, you want us to stop it?
[22.11.2009 12:10:58] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I just wanted you to feel free to do what ever you want with him
[22.11.2009 12:11:21] LR-I.Blame.Society: *Grins* I'll see to it that the ship gets sorted out.
[22.11.2009 12:11:24] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: The captain stated that he wouldn't have to listen to the outcast council, because it wouldn't be his council
[22.11.2009 12:11:54] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: So it's not one of our vessels anymore, And seeing our technology in the hands of others is something I dislike
[22.11.2009 12:12:18] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Except for allies, but they usually don't ask for our biggest ships
[22.11.2009 12:12:46] LR-I.Blame.Society: I'm assembling a force on the Liberty Rogue comms. as we speak.
[22.11.2009 12:13:01] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: current callsign is: Not.A.Maltese.Navy.Ship, former the MNS-Catharsis
[22.11.2009 12:13:13] LR-I.Blame.Society: We'll get it sorted out, and we could sell the scrap to the Junkers. They love that stuff. *Chuckles*
[22.11.2009 12:13:42] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: I'm not sure if it's the before mentioned destroyer, I sadly have no detailed information as that guy passed by our registry
[22.11.2009 12:14:01] LR-I.Blame.Society: It is actually.
[22.11.2009 12:14:05] LR-I.Blame.Society: Just checked it.
[22.11.2009 12:14:11] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Ah, good to know
[22.11.2009 12:14:18] LR-I.Blame.Society: The Crime Lord and co. had some fun with it, but it escaped.
[22.11.2009 12:15:03] LR-I.Blame.Society: Well, we'll surely have fun. Thanks for the word, we'll take care of it immediately.
[22.11.2009 12:15:47] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Meanwhile I'll head back to paperwork and inform my superiors
[22.11.2009 12:16:15] LR-I.Blame.Society: Roga, thanks again for the word.
[22.11.2009 12:16:26] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: If you notice another change of its callsign, please inform us so we can keep him tracked
[22.11.2009 12:16:36] LR-I.Blame.Society: Will do, Mantral out.
[22.11.2009 12:16:47] Nero.D'Ortona[101st]: Well, have fun with him, D'Ortona out
