The tale of Rogue63 and Rogue_81

[Rogue63]

With a loud bang, the last of the wreckage was off-loaded from the Junker ship in the large landing bay at Montezuma base. A trained eye could tell it was once a Outcast Sabre fighter.

Staring at the mess that was once his ship, Rogue63 shakes his head with disgust at his smiling partner in crime Rogue81. "So you think it is funny I blew my own ship up." says Rogue63, "those torpedos and mines should be banned, more dangerous to the user than the enemy."

Barely able to control his laughter, "I remember my 1st torpedo shot, way to go killer. Gonna have those boys paint a Rogue symbol on your kill tally." laughs loudly "Come on I'll buy you a beer, if you promise not to shoot any torpedos or mines when I am around." says '81 almost doubled over laughing.

The two walked to the meeting room, to update the fellow Rogues on the ships status, tactics and on-going operations. Although all Rogues are considered equals, they have become the "go-to" or defacto leaders, being the richest and most successful of the Rogues.

Entering the room, 63 and 81 head directly to the podium on the elevated platform as the talking dies down, 63 takes a swig from his beer and begins the presentation. 81 sits down next to a electronic board.

"Greetings fellow Rogues, it gives me great pleasure to be able to address you this evening on current events and status of our assets." pauses for a second. "We'll start with the heavy assests, our cruisers have been doing well, gathering prisoners and goods. Profits from these operations have been good, and currently have over 1000 prisoners of various backgrounds." loud applause from the crowd. "Thank you, but the capital ship operations employ many Rogues all of whom deserve praise."

"Our trading assests, main ships a captured container ship and a large train, have been very busy generating millions in credits." looks toward 81 and nods, "Rogue_81 here has surpassed the 300 million mark, trading diamonds, cardimine and other items." loud cheers as the large electronic board comes to life showing the sky rocketing charts of progress

"And something new we have been getting into to round out the fleet, Bomber operations." gun camera footage rolls of a combined attack on a Liberty cruiser. "What you are watching is a recent event in Magellen. '81 was engaged in combat with a cruiser, while in his bomber. I was lucky enough to be in the vicinity and was able to come to the aid of a fellow Rogue. Togather our bombers were able to over-whelm the cruisers defenses and press the attack to a successful end." And to make the point the video ends with a spectacular explosion of the cruiser. 63 backs away from the podium and takes a seat as 81 moves to the podium.

"And finally, we come to fighter operations." says 81, "We have aquired several Outcast Sabre VHF's and are customizing them to suit our needs." pauses, "although not entirely successful," pauses and smiles at 63 who looks alittle unnerved, "we feel that given time we will eventually get some tactics down that will be successful."

"On to final item, the diplomacy we have have in progress, to get to good level of dialog with fellow pirates in all areas of the Sirus system. Every group has it's own agenda, as do we, but the common item is the conflict with law enforcement in general. On this basis we will side with pirates anywhere we are, come to there aid when asked, join in on attacks on tough targets. We will not lose our identity, but the elimination of police, navy and mercenary forces will make our lives easier. That is the end of the brief, as usual the bar is open to all Rogues courtesy of me and 63 enjoy" loud applause and cheers as 63 and 81 lead the way to the bar.
