- [08.03.2017 11:04:40] Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Alas, I am in no mood to trifle with you today."
- [08.03.2017 11:04:50] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: That doesn't really hinder us. We do not care. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:04:53] A/)-Peitho.2: It didn't work out for you well last time, huh?
- [08.03.2017 11:05:12] Oracle|Israfel: What, did you fight over something?
- [08.03.2017 11:05:22] Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I wonder what would happen to you battlegroup if your leader would be killed..."
- [08.03.2017 11:05:35] A/)-Peitho.2: An Oracle cruiser chose to get involved in a fight it shouldn't have. It didn't last long.

- [08.03.2017 11:07:55] A/)-Peitho.2: Mhm.
- [08.03.2017 11:08:03] A/)-Peitho.2: A little contradictory.
- [08.03.2017 11:08:05] Oracle|Israfel: Well, humans aren't absolutely rational.
- [08.03.2017 11:08:19] Oracle|Israfel: Ask AI for that quality.

- [08.03.2017 11:09:07] A/)-Peitho.2: Change is always possible.

- [08.03.2017 11:11:48] A/)-Peitho.2: You've no reason to hide, either.
- [08.03.2017 11:11:56] A/)-Peitho.2: It's not like we're going to shoot you without a reason to.
- [08.03.2017 11:12:16] A/)-Peitho.2: Until a cloak disruptor goes off.

- [08.03.2017 11:13:39] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Hm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:13:40] Oracle|Israfel: About your organization in general. Maybe some ways to find a way to cooperate.
- [08.03.2017 11:13:51] 2017-03-08 11:13:49 SMT Traffic control alert: A/)-Peitho.2 has requested to dock
- [08.03.2017 11:13:53] A/)-Peitho.1: [Inaudible radio chatter]
- [08.03.2017 11:14:21] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Please expand on your statement concerning cooperation. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:14:36] A/)-Peitho.2: I do hope you recognize the irony cooperation would create.
- [08.03.2017 11:15:06] Oracle|Israfel: Well, we aren't that hostile, right?
- [08.03.2017 11:15:40] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: That may be so - but it doesn't mean we'll overlook the attitude of your companions. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:15:54] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: If they are unable to restrain themselves, well, that is only going to be problematic. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:15:57] A/)-Peitho.2: I was about to say - Your friend thought otherwise.
- [08.03.2017 11:16:06] Oracle|Israfel: I'm the guy who offered a Nomad and two Order operatives to have some beer.
- [08.03.2017 11:16:13] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: We do not mind the Oracles. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:16:32] A/)-Peitho.2: And he's the guy who dove a Destroyer in to rescue the Commune from their own actions.
- [08.03.2017 11:16:34] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Oh my. I wonder how the Nomad would achieve that without any orifices. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:16:55] Oracle|Israfel: Well, booze finds its way. Maybe.
- [08.03.2017 11:17:17] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I cannot consume alcoholic beverages, nor do I have to desires to. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:17:21] A/)-Peitho.2: Dermal absorption?
- [08.03.2017 11:17:30] Oracle|Israfel: Unfortunately, they decided to start chewing each other's throats anyway...
- [08.03.2017 11:17:33] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: But the concept is charming. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:17:55] A/)-Peitho.2: What do you expect? The Order are more interested in extermination than co-existence with anything.
- [08.03.2017 11:18:14] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They're beyond saving. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:18:21] Oracle|Israfel: Well, at least Omicron Research Group kind of want to find a way..
- [08.03.2017 11:18:56] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Hm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:19:02] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: So, that's the group then. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:19:03] A/)-Peitho.2: They seem more interested in hiding than doing any work. Or alternatively, flying into hostile territory without reason.
- [08.03.2017 11:19:15] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I have yet to see any resourceful actions from them. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:19:22] Oracle|Israfel: That's awkward.
- [08.03.2017 11:19:24] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They are nothing more than pseudo-Order. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:19:44] Oracle|Israfel: Well. Do you want to find a way to coexist, then?
- [08.03.2017 11:19:54] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: There is a way. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:20:00] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: It's just that the Order denies such way. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:20:11] Oracle|Israfel: I'm intrigued
- [08.03.2017 11:20:23] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Thus - Humanity will never have a chance - and the K'Hara will remain forever as biological weapons. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:20:48] A/)-Peitho.2: It's not like the rest of humanity is trying, either. The Core couldn't possibly care less about the topic.
- [08.03.2017 11:20:50] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Despite seeing progress in their evolution, they still seemed to be bound to their very structure - their basic 'DNA' ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:20:54] A/)-Peitho.2: There's no money in cooperation.
- [08.03.2017 11:21:10] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: If we must go to war with Humanity in order to preserve - then so be it. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:21:20] Oracle|Israfel: Core is a bunch of psychopats and "effective managers"...
- [08.03.2017 11:21:45] A/)-Peitho.2: Effective management ceases to be effective when their leader and a war criminal beat each other to near death.
- [08.03.2017 11:21:45] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: No - they're more greed based with no morale. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:21:58] A/)-Peitho.2: Or when they take hostages.
- [08.03.2017 11:22:09] A/)-Peitho.2: Additionally, senseless killing to empower themselves.
- [08.03.2017 11:22:24] A/)-Peitho.2: Though I really doubt anyone would miss the Corsairs.
- [08.03.2017 11:22:32] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Hrm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:22:34] Oracle|Israfel: Anyway, there's no use in this topic... So. What way did you find to coexist?
- [08.03.2017 11:22:49] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: As I noted, their basic 'instincts' - they're bound to it. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:23:10] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: The qualities of such are most distinctive when comparing a morph to a fully grown Nomad. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:23:26] Oracle|Israfel: Hrm, this is unfortunate. Not only we need to transcend our nature.
- --- ENTERING SECURE CHANNELS ---
- [08.03.2017 11:23:59] A/)-Peitho.2: Before we continue this topic, we should be mindful about what's around.
- [08.03.2017 11:24:00] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: It's not unusual for the K'Hara to manipulate others into doing their bidding through false promises - or twisted perspecti

- [08.03.2017 11:24:18] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Biological slavery is a sin. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:24:18] A/)-Peitho.2: Much better.
- [08.03.2017 11:24:44] Oracle|Israfel: I am creeped out by dead men walking myself.
- [08.03.2017 11:25:02] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They're nothing more than a nuisance attempting to be relevant through pathetic means. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:25:11] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They are disinterested in the concepts we speak of. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:25:31] A/)-Peitho.2: Co-existence to them is control or eradication.
- [08.03.2017 11:25:49] A/)-Peitho.2: Cause and spread terror, so on and so forth.
- [08.03.2017 11:25:55] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: To further elaborate upon the scenario with the K'Hara, it's best described as a bee hive. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:25:55] Oracle|Israfel: Then a way must be found to make them break free.
- [08.03.2017 11:26:12] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: One must be a part of the hive to live, outsiders will perish. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:26:59] Oracle|Israfel: Unfortunate, I guess.
- [08.03.2017 11:27:05] A/)-Peitho.2: The unit is correct. Essentially, the 'hive' - their mindshare - is the source of their ability to process thoughts.
- [08.03.2017 11:27:16] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I have a name - you know. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:27:23] A/)-Peitho.2: You never introduced yourself.
- [08.03.2017 11:27:33] Oracle|Israfel: *snort*
- [08.03.2017 11:27:53] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Oh well. AU-007-775. That's my designation. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:28:03] Oracle|Israfel: That's looong.
- [08.03.2017 11:28:17] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I cannot tell you my previous name. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:28:22] A/)-Peitho.2: As I was saying, without that connection they become confused, lost. Some even become animalistic and aggressive.
- [08.03.2017 11:28:27] Oracle|Israfel: Aurum, maybe?
- [08.03.2017 11:28:56] Oracle|Israfel: I'm listening, sir.
- [08.03.2017 11:29:07] A/)-Peitho.2: Eventually they cease to exist entirely. Their consciousness becomes separated from the safety net.
- [08.03.2017 11:29:22] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They don't seem to survive alone, mainly due to their reliance on their Mindshare. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:29:31] A/)-Peitho.2: Exactly.
- [08.03.2017 11:29:46] Oracle|Israfel: That's quite a liability.
- [08.03.2017 11:29:51] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: To them - death is a laughable subject. But once they lose connection, they start to remind themselves that life
- [08.03.2017 11:29:55] A/)-Peitho.1: truly is dangerous. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:29:59] A/)-Peitho.2: Some instances of a few lasting longer than others independently are known, but they eventually die out.
- [08.03.2017 11:30:18] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They do not contain the knowledge to sustain themselves, as far as I'm aware. They rely on knowledge from the

- [08.03.2017 11:30:26] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: This is from observation, of course. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:30:40] A/)-Peitho.2: Be it caused by the destruction of the husk their consciousness occupies, environmental, or even self-inflicted.
- [08.03.2017 11:30:48] A/)-Peitho.2: A bee without its hive is dead.
- [08.03.2017 11:31:38] A/)-Peitho.2: It's even possible in theory that without the mindshare, an individual would have a hard time retaining significant amounts
- [08.03.2017 11:31:40] A/)-Peitho.2: of information.
- [08.03.2017 11:31:54] A/)-Peitho.2: They're not self-reliant, after all.
- [08.03.2017 11:32:09] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Now, the main point of this is that they're unable to trust anything outside of the Hive. That their biological code

- [08.03.2017 11:32:31] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: As far as I'm informed, there is a decypher, a reader known as the Proteus Tome. ::>

- [08.03.2017 11:32:49] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Artifacts hold the keys to learning about this biological code. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:33:06] Oracle|Israfel: Is this thing THAT important?
- [08.03.2017 11:33:15] A/)-Peitho.2: Indeed, and their intent remains unknown.
- [08.03.2017 11:33:18] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Unless you can find another decypher key, yes. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:33:28] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: There isn't any other known translator in the universe. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:33:40] A/)-Peitho.2: It's more than likely they'll use that knowledge to seek a means to permanently wipe out the K'Hara.
- [08.03.2017 11:33:52] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Inevitably so. :::

- [08.03.2017 11:34:29] Oracle|Israfel: Country of old Earth, pre-war
- [08.03.2017 11:34:52] Oracle|Israfel: I did my history homework a bit.
- [08.03.2017 11:35:31] A/)-Peitho.2: Either way, their intent is obvious. Some conspiracy theorists think they might go so far as to control them.
- [08.03.2017 11:35:54] Oracle|Israfel: Can I make my brain stop exploding?
- [08.03.2017 11:36:07] A/)-Peitho.2: Imagine an army of people controlled by a megalomaniac who wants to wipe out anyone who stands in his way.
- [08.03.2017 11:36:12] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Mmm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:36:18] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Or to simply enslave the race. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:36:22] A/)-Peitho.2: Exactly.
- [08.03.2017 11:36:28] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They've already attempted with the Gammuians. I will not stand for it. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:36:49] A/)-Peitho.2: Nor will I. The Gammuians have every right to be independent.
- [08.03.2017 11:36:56] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: The Nomads should at least have the chance for emancipation, to become their own evolved species, rather than

- [08.03.2017 11:37:04] Oracle|Israfel: Well, looks like we have an atom bomb capable of destroying the sector...
- [08.03.2017 11:37:39] A/)-Peitho.2: So do the Nomads. Big, purple, crystalline death machines.
- [08.03.2017 11:37:45] A/)-Peitho.2: You've seen Toledo.
- [08.03.2017 11:37:52] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: The words Hidden Giant come to mind. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:38:47] A/)-Peitho.2: Have you noticed the changes in their evolution?
- [08.03.2017 11:38:52] Oracle|Israfel: *deep sigh*
- [08.03.2017 11:39:16] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I was informed that they were a different species of Nomads? ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:39:41] A/)-Peitho.2: I'm unsure if that's true. We also have the secondary hive to consider.
- [08.03.2017 11:39:52] Oracle|Israfel: I don't know anything about their evolution. I'm somewhat new, so to say.
- [08.03.2017 11:40:26] Oracle|Israfel: Well, I mean, I know there are K'Hara and there are Vagrants.
- [08.03.2017 11:40:27] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Even they are somewhat... different. We're unable to determine the physiology of the Vagrant branch. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:41:03] A/)-Peitho.2: It seems more likely that they'd evolve based on the scenarios they're faced with.
- [08.03.2017 11:41:29] Oracle|Israfel: Sped up evolution?
- [08.03.2017 11:41:31] A/)-Peitho.2: For example - the Predators evolved for combat from the current hive we frequently encounter - K'Hara.
- [08.03.2017 11:41:47] A/)-Peitho.2: Two decades ago, Nomads didn't even have the thin organic layer that protects them.
- [08.03.2017 11:41:53] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I still like to assume they came from the gate, as informed by the Database. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:42:06] A/)-Peitho.2: Also a possibility.
- [08.03.2017 11:42:17] A/)-Peitho.2: We do know at least one came from beyond our reach.
- [08.03.2017 11:42:20] A/)-Peitho.2: Ish'tar.
- [08.03.2017 11:42:52] Oracle|Israfel: And Ish'tar is...
- [08.03.2017 11:43:05] A/)-Peitho.2: A very powerful and large Nomad.
- [08.03.2017 11:43:15] Oracle|Israfel: Bigger than Marduk?
- [08.03.2017 11:43:42] A/)-Peitho.2: Certainly a lot stronger than one.
- [08.03.2017 11:43:59] Oracle|Israfel: Sectoral arms race.
- [08.03.2017 11:44:18] A/)-Peitho.2: Though it being a separate species seems odd for a bee hive theory.
- [08.03.2017 11:44:34] A/)-Peitho.2: It makes me wonder how widespread the hive actually is.
- [08.03.2017 11:44:55] A/)-Peitho.2: We obviously know there's more systems well beyond our grasp that they could occupy.
- [08.03.2017 11:45:21] Oracle|Israfel: Their creators were pretty ancient and advanced. Maybe they have hives across some part of Milky Way.
- [08.03.2017 11:45:28] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: [We] are aware of the systems on the edge of Sirius where some people known as the 'Cultists' occupy, as we've seen
- [08.03.2017 11:45:32] A/)-Peitho.1: Nomad activity there too. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:45:52] A/)-Peitho.2: That, too. The other thing to consider is the supposed Hypergate network.
- [08.03.2017 11:46:40] Oracle|Israfel: You poured so much info into me that now I'm glad I have the logs being saved automatically...
- [08.03.2017 11:46:58] A/)-Peitho.2: You said you were interested in cooperation potential.
- [08.03.2017 11:47:12] A/)-Peitho.2: You wouldn't be the first from the Oracles to show up.
- [08.03.2017 11:47:16] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: It's not really intensive, but rather observational points. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:47:42] Oracle|Israfel: Yes, at least in some way. Oracles can be surprisingly resourceful in a way.
- [08.03.2017 11:47:53] Oracle|Israfel: You have even more.
- [08.03.2017 11:48:15] A/)-Peitho.2: But we also know to expect the worst from past experience with others.
- [08.03.2017 11:48:22] Oracle|Israfel: There's a problem, however!
- [08.03.2017 11:48:29] Oracle|Israfel: I'm just a Cultist.
- [08.03.2017 11:48:49] A/)-Peitho.2: And I'm just a Guardian.
- [08.03.2017 11:48:50] Oracle|Israfel: Not a Windcaller, not an Exarch, whatever.
- [08.03.2017 11:49:22] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Hah. You're a Guardian and deployed here? How fortunate. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:49:40] A/)-Peitho.2: I was sent up with the expeditionary teams to help out the Gammuians.
- [08.03.2017 11:49:43] Oracle|Israfel: I'm not aware of your rank system, though.
- [08.03.2017 11:49:56] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Guardian is essentially the lowest. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:50:02] A/)-Peitho.2: Second lowest.
- [08.03.2017 11:50:08] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Essentially. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:50:14] A/)-Peitho.2: Warden is below me, and Initiate below that.
- [08.03.2017 11:50:31] A/)-Peitho.2: Above me is Templar, Paladin, Sentinel, Venator, Curator and the Keepers.
- [08.03.2017 11:51:14] Oracle|Israfel: Alright, thanks. So. Were your scientists ever interested in minituarisation of Nomad technology?
- [08.03.2017 11:51:56] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I would highly presume so. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:52:19] Oracle|Israfel: Well, I've got a mutually beneficial proposition for ya.
- [08.03.2017 11:52:50] Oracle|Israfel: I have access to Nomad tech. You have access to science teams.
- [08.03.2017 11:53:14] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: This is a surprise. This has to have some form of catch to it. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:53:24] Oracle|Israfel: Things might get really fun.
- [08.03.2017 11:53:49] Oracle|Israfel: I'm not just willing to bring peace, but advancement, too.
- [08.03.2017 11:54:15] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Allow me to ask you this. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:54:19] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: How badly do you hate The Order? ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:55:09] Oracle|Israfel: I have no hate towards them. They are merely protecting humanity's Liebensraum by whatever means. Not the first, not the last.
- [08.03.2017 11:55:29] Oracle|Israfel: I'm not really interested.
- [08.03.2017 11:55:46] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Yet - they're known for openly desiring to execute you all? ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:55:59] A/)-Peitho.2: They're more interested in protecting their vision of humanity, rather than humanity its self.
- [08.03.2017 11:56:14] Oracle|Israfel: I said it - not the first, not the last.
- [08.03.2017 11:56:33] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Hm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:57:13] Oracle|Israfel: I care more about entities such as Malta or Hessians.
- [08.03.2017 11:57:22] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Why the Hessians? ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:57:46] Oracle|Israfel: Because they are nothing but a bunch of demented pirates.
- [08.03.2017 11:58:00] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Ah, not in a positive manner. And of Malta? ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:58:14] Oracle|Israfel: Slavers. Pirates. Do I need to add?
- [08.03.2017 11:58:36] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Peculiar. Oracles are noted for their roots from Malta, as heard from yours before. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:59:01] Oracle|Israfel: I have no Maltese roots. In fact, I hail from Liberty.
- [08.03.2017 11:59:42] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Interesting. ::>
- [08.03.2017 11:59:51] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: And what of the Corsairs? ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:00:16] Oracle|Israfel: Pirates, pirates, pirates, they're everywhere and they simply hamper the economics.
- [08.03.2017 12:00:34] Oracle|Israfel: All the pirate groups are essentially the same thing.
- [08.03.2017 12:00:47] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: In a sense, quite so. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:01:20] Oracle|Israfel: Though some are also extremists, slavers, drug dealers, add anything to the list.
- [08.03.2017 12:02:12] Oracle|Israfel: Anyway, why is this relevant?
- [08.03.2017 12:02:21] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I was simply curious. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:02:27] Oracle|Israfel: Alright, then.
- [08.03.2017 12:02:45] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Many individuals hold different views. I am simply inquisitive about hearing the many viewpoints of Sirius. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:03:03] Oracle|Israfel: Then enjoy your info, I guess.
- [08.03.2017 12:03:32] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Guardian. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:03:38] A/)-Peitho.2: Yes?
- [08.03.2017 12:03:48] Oracle|Israfel: Back to business?
- [08.03.2017 12:03:52] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Nothing. Just making sure you're still awake. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:04:02] A/)-Peitho.1: [some robotic chuckling is heard through their radio input]
- [08.03.2017 12:04:11] A/)-Peitho.1: "Heh heh heh. "
- [08.03.2017 12:04:39] A/)-Peitho.2: Sleeping on duty is usually a bad idea, especially in an irradiated system.
- [08.03.2017 12:04:54] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: There is not much that we can do concerning the Nomads. All that we can do is research, investigate and defend
- [08.03.2017 12:04:56] A/)-Peitho.1: ourselves. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:06:02] Oracle|Israfel: So, I can help with research. And what I'm asking in return is, basically... Go easy on Oracles.
- [08.03.2017 12:06:12] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: We do not intend to harm your society. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:06:16] Oracle|Israfel: Nice.
- [08.03.2017 12:06:24] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: As long as they don't provoke ours - they have nothing to fear. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:06:35] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: As we've noted, that Shrine has engaged us before. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:06:44] A/)-Peitho.2: Your friend shot us, not vice versa. We'll act in self-defense.
- [08.03.2017 12:06:58] Oracle|Israfel: Well, I don't know really what Windcaller was thinking.
- [08.03.2017 12:07:12] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: They act upon prejudice. I can see that. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:07:26] A/)-Peitho.2: A terrible situation, too.
- [08.03.2017 12:07:29] Oracle|Israfel: I am more diplomatic despite resorting to gunboat diplomacy at times.
- [08.03.2017 12:07:38] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Fear and hatred, not knowledge and duty. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:07:43] A/)-Peitho.2: It aided the Commune after they violated Confederate law.
- [08.03.2017 12:07:50] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Mhm. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:08:08] Oracle|Israfel: Fear and hatred! *laughs silently*
- [08.03.2017 12:08:34] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Fear of being harmed. Hatred from listening to rumors, ignorance. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:08:47] Oracle|Israfel: You know, this is what I was told about your motivations.
- [08.03.2017 12:09:00] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I'm sure of it. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:09:00] Oracle|Israfel: Simple fear.
- [08.03.2017 12:09:12] Oracle|Israfel: Well. Bias is bias, whatever.
- [08.03.2017 12:09:20] Oracle|Israfel: It happens to best of us.
- [08.03.2017 12:09:23] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: It's within common practice to base your intents off of pure knowledge and factual evidence, than speculation. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:10:24] Oracle|Israfel: So, I might need to communicate with someone about the dealings, right? Or will you tell to your superiors first?
- [08.03.2017 12:10:40] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: It would be within best interests to contact them as confirmation. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:11:01] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: I am just a simple soldier. Naturally, I'd give word. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:11:21] Oracle|Israfel: Well, um, for now I'll have to wait for their response, I guess.
- [08.03.2017 12:11:23] A/)-Peitho.2: I'm in the same boat.
- [08.03.2017 12:12:47] Oracle|Israfel: Core pilots, Zoner pilots. I'll hand them over to Freeport. Well, see you later, guys.
- [08.03.2017 12:12:59] Oracle|Israfel: Thank you for this talk.
- [08.03.2017 12:13:09] A/)-Peitho.1: <:: Farewell. ::>
- [08.03.2017 12:13:40] A/)-Peitho.1: [radio chatter] :: Returning to Outpost. ::
