Last Will and Testament of Kearney O'Sullivan

[Ion]

"Ifn when Oi dont come back, All that junk in me locker goes to you Maebh, your the only barmaid for me.

Well, luv, seein as it m be me last toim seeyin you, i suppose id best explain why it is Oim makin this."


"Vogtland. Oim not lookin for'rd to this.

Its al'as the way, 'Oh, Send Kearney, he'll make it'. Bollocks. bollocks. bollocks."

"Oim not cut out for this, how in all hells di' it start anywey. F*oked if i c'n remember, It Musta been those 'sairs, allays them, gettin ta places they shouldnt be."

"Oh, thats right, af'n they breached the field, new directives came down. Oi din sign up for this!"

"So there Oi was, just finishin me paperwork, an i get this Com from command that i have to go to Rheinland, Rheinland of all places! joost to pick up some new f*okin ship or other the Union has bought. O course, command bein what they are, they gave me only some halfhazard directions and a safety warnin!"

"Oi thought Oid start this log before Oi go, jusn so you know whats hapn to me."

"Keep the a guiness and whisky out for me, Oi'll be back before you know it."

"Well, gettin there was a lot easier then i could have hoped."

"Apart from a few close calls Oi landed pretty safely on a base called Ronneburg, familiarizing meself with our Rheindland brothers. From there there were a few close encounters with corsairs, but it was mostly uneventful."

"So Oi came to Vgotland, it looks a bit hellish on the outside, but its quite cosy once you get inside."

"The ship that was waitin fer me, well.. I can't say i woulda guessed, a crusier of all tings!"

"Musta cost the Union a fair bit, to my reckonin"

"Thats when the trouble started. Oi tought the way back was gonna be easy, to be sure, in this thing i felt a wee bit invincible!"

"I thought Oid be a smart one and take a shortcut, be home in time for a guinness with the lass, it was, to say, a bad call."


"they was waitin for me, a whole bunch of coalition fighters, on me like a swarm of hornets."

"We didnt last long, first to go were me engines, then me electronics, after life support was minimised, i thought it was be the end. Left slowly to die with failin oxygen supplies."

"We was lucky we was, Oi canna say how it hapnd, or why, but a hessian patrol found us driftin in the omega systems."

"it towed us back to ronneburg, where repairs were carried out, but the engine needed a complete refit, in Vgotland."

"So here Oi am now, sittin in Vgotland entierin this in my log."

"Oi wonder if youll ever hear this"

"Oi told em this was a bad idea, but nobody listen' to Kearney."

"The engine has been replaced, out of me own pocket, and it looks as though Oi may have to stay here a while to pay off the debts! bollocks."

"Oi suppose it wouldn hurt ta help these boys for a while, its all for a good cause."

"But they dont have guinness!"
