  1. [07.08.2018 22:12:51] NO-I-Premonition: Hm. Interesting tra- I need to have words with Shiranui later.
  2. [07.08.2018 22:13:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Good to see a member of the Natio here.
  3. [07.08.2018 22:13:15] NO-I-Premonition: Agent Paracusia, Octavarium Intelligence Commission.
  4. [07.08.2018 22:13:33] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Mieko Iekahara, Supreme Commander-adjutant, Ouroboros Revolutionary Group.
  5. [07.08.2018 22:13:39] NO-I-Premonition: ... and you appear to have prisoners in your bay.
  6. [07.08.2018 22:13:56] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: They were from a Kusari Police transport we.. Liberated.
  7. [07.08.2018 22:14:11] NO-I-Premonition: That's probably good.
  8. [07.08.2018 22:14:15] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We have intent of bringing them back to our base of operations.
  9. [07.08.2018 22:14:45] O-|-Arachne[K]: I'd hope it's good. They seem like decent people.
  10. [07.08.2018 22:15:24] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We'll have them processed and see if it'd be suitable to have them in our ranks or no. With their consent, of course.
  11. [07.08.2018 22:15:29] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We're not Maltese.
  12. [07.08.2018 22:15:36] NO-I-Premonition: You'd be surprised at what some people can hide. Just tread carefully with them.
  13. [07.08.2018 22:15:52] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Of course.
  14. [07.08.2018 22:16:30] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I came by wanting to speak with Mr. Kane, but I guess he is out of the office, right now?
  15. [07.08.2018 22:16:42] NO-I-Premonition: Probably. It's not always easy to keep tabs on him.
  16. [07.08.2018 22:16:55] NO-I-Premonition: Half the time he's hiding in a hangar tinkering with his Bayonet.
  17. [07.08.2018 22:17:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Not that I have issue with speaking with the Intelligence division.
  18. [07.08.2018 22:17:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: If anything.. collaboration is what we desire most from our relationship with the Natio.
  19. [07.08.2018 22:17:58] NO-I-Premonition: That's probably good. Cooperation on what matters, specifically?
  20. [07.08.2018 22:18:27] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Intelligence, Logistics, defense operations. Of course, at a pace suitable for both of us.
  21. [07.08.2018 22:18:48] NO-I-Premonition: But of course, all of those things have a specific... target.
  22. [07.08.2018 22:19:10] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We had spoken to Kane before about the latter two - He had said, if I recall, he didn't want to start rubbing Kusari the wrong
  23. [07.08.2018 22:19:15] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: way, which is reasonable.
  24. [07.08.2018 22:19:32] NO-I-Premonition: Yes, we're trying to avoid a direct provocation. One neighbor shooting at us is more than sufficient.
  25. [07.08.2018 22:19:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: However, we'd be more than happy to help keep the peace in Tau-44 by blasting gauls on occasion.
  26. [07.08.2018 22:20:10] NO-I-Premonition: Truth be told, I believe our current policy is a general attempt to minimize hostility in Tau-44, though of course repelling
  27. [07.08.2018 22:20:16] NO-I-Premonition: Gallic invaders is always encouraged
  28. [07.08.2018 22:20:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai. We despise them as much as the next person. We have quite a few people in our ranks.. thanks to our interests.
  29. [07.08.2018 22:21:01] NO-I-Premonition: Crayter is somewhat more... trigger-happy than we would like, though.
  30. [07.08.2018 22:21:13] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Arachne here was a member of the Soraya family, a guard family within the inner circles of the Gallic Roi.
  31. [07.08.2018 22:21:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: They had.. well.. I do believe it'd be best to not cause bad memories for her to come rushing back, right Serena-nee-chan?
  32. [07.08.2018 22:22:07] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Also.. the Crayterians being trigger happy.. Not the first time we've heard about such things.
  33. [07.08.2018 22:22:14] NO-I-Premonition: Hm. I can guess, given what I've heard of the Crown.
  34. [07.08.2018 22:22:18] O-|-Arachne[K]: Yes. I'd prefer to not go into detail.
  35. [07.08.2018 22:22:31] NO-I-Premonition: Yes, from what we've observed of Crayter, all revolves around the fleet.
  36. [07.08.2018 22:22:52] NO-I-Premonition: With that kind of emphasis on military strength, the urge to use it is inevitable.
  37. [07.08.2018 22:23:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: All revolves around our forces as well, in Ouroboros, but then again, at least we have justification for it - Right now we're a
  38. [07.08.2018 22:23:12] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: gnat compared to the Kusari state.
  39. [07.08.2018 22:23:42] NO-I-Premonition: They, too, are smaller than their competition. I'm not entirely sure they *realize* that though.
  40. [07.08.2018 22:24:00] NO-I-Premonition: That's why we're favoring a more low-force approach. We can't afford too many losses.
  41. [07.08.2018 22:24:36] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Yes, we actually had a SIGINT/ELINT vessel in Sigma 21 for the battle between the Kusari-GMG alliance and the Rheinland
  42. [07.08.2018 22:24:39] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Kriegsmarine.
  43. [07.08.2018 22:24:48] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Suffice it to say, it was a massacre.
  44. [07.08.2018 22:25:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: KNF suffered major casualties at the start of the fight.
  45. [07.08.2018 22:25:55] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Higan was expecting a repeat of the 80 years war. Seems the Rheinlanders had corrected their errors since then.
  46. [07.08.2018 22:26:03] NO-I-Premonition: That's... disconcerting.
  47. [07.08.2018 22:26:16] O-|-Arachne[K]: I saw footage from Core broadcasts later on... It was a massacre alright. But it was the Rheinlanders who were being murdered.
  48. [07.08.2018 22:26:37] NO-I-Premonition: We have had... prior experience with the Rheinwehr. All they know is overwhelming force, and the pre-emptive application of it.
  49. [07.08.2018 22:27:07] NO-I-Premonition: They are why the Metropolis is no more.
  50. [07.08.2018 22:27:42] NO-I-Premonition: I suspect we would be far less peaceful had we settled in the Sigmas or Omegas.
  51. [07.08.2018 22:27:54] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Strange. I guess things turned around after our vessel pulled out.
  52. [07.08.2018 22:28:17] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: One of our allies' pilots in Ando was shot down, and we rushed in to recover them.
  53. [07.08.2018 22:28:25] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hence why we departed the AO halfway.
  54. [07.08.2018 22:28:40] NO-I-Premonition: Ando. Hm.
  55. [07.08.2018 22:28:57] NO-I-Premonition: Our impression so far is that they're... perhaps a bit too impulsive.
  56. [07.08.2018 22:29:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: How so?
  57. [07.08.2018 22:30:21] NO-I-Premonition: They seem to rush into their diplomacy without fully considering the situation. Well-intentioned, but that doesn't always
  58. [07.08.2018 22:30:26] NO-I-Premonition: cover for that.
  59. [07.08.2018 22:30:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hmm.
  60. [07.08.2018 22:30:37] NO-I-Premonition: I can't offer specifics, Commission rules.
  61. [07.08.2018 22:30:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: That's fine. It's enough for Higan to keep an eye out for.
  62. [07.08.2018 22:31:07] NO-I-Premonition: We wish them the best, though - given some more experience, or an advisor to assist them, they may be able to adjust.
  63. [07.08.2018 22:31:32] NO-I-Premonition: You mentioned Core. What about Order? What have htey been up to in the Sigmas?
  64. [07.08.2018 22:31:43] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai. we do wish to assist them, given they're the only element of the Blood Dragons that knows that the Royalist approach is
  65. [07.08.2018 22:31:47] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: not best for Kusari.
  66. [07.08.2018 22:31:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Aah.
  67. [07.08.2018 22:32:16] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We have yet to actually deploy personnel to the Omicrons lately. We have a group of Order Defectors that would be up to the
  68. [07.08.2018 22:32:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: tasking, however.
  69. [07.08.2018 22:32:37] NO-I-Premonition: ... that was an odd signal I just got. Moving on.
  70. [07.08.2018 22:33:00] NO-I-Premonition: What exactly is your stance on the Order? If you're taking defectors, I assume you're not thrilled with the Overwatch.
  71. [07.08.2018 22:33:04] O-|-Arachne[K]: They... Honestly from the vids I saw they've been measuring verbal... Apendages. With the Core.
  72. [07.08.2018 22:33:12] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: No one in the Omicrons is.
  73. [07.08.2018 22:33:21] NO-I-Premonition: That's the impression I've gotten.
  74. [07.08.2018 22:33:44] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: They have threatened to destroy all freeports in range of the primary fleet, all because of the administration willing to make
  75. [07.08.2018 22:34:14] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: peace with the core after what Nodtviet had done prior.
  76. [07.08.2018 22:34:26] NO-I-Premonition: Yes, the Commission has records of some of their more egregious acts - Nodtviet? I'm not familiar with this name.
  77. [07.08.2018 22:34:52] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Given the nature of Zoner society, it doesn't take a politics major to know that threat was a bad idea.
  78. [07.08.2018 22:35:14] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Erik Nodtviet was the Guildkeeper of the Core around 822-823 AS.
  79. [07.08.2018 22:35:33] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: He was preceeded, if we recall right, by Sapphire Raven, before her defection to form Auxesia.
  80. [07.08.2018 22:35:46] NO-I-Premonition: That cannot possibly be her birth name.
  81. [07.08.2018 22:35:56] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: And superceded by Guildmaster Enma Loyola, who was superceded in turn by Nathan Archos.
  82. [07.08.2018 22:36:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I do not believe it either.
  83. [07.08.2018 22:36:24] NO-I-Premonition: Archos. I'm familiar with that name, some recent news articles.
  84. [07.08.2018 22:36:41] O-|-Arachne[K]: To be fair... I do like the name Sapphire.
  85. [07.08.2018 22:36:44] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Anywho - Erik Nodtviet had been engaged in warfare with the Zoners of Freeport 11 due to reasons unknown to us yet.
  86. [07.08.2018 22:37:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It resulted in a thermonuclear detonation that hit Freeport 11 in 823 AS.
  87. [07.08.2018 22:37:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: *She looks to her papers.*
  88. [07.08.2018 22:37:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Whoever prepared these has rough estimates. Some of my subordinates aren't the brightest.
  89. [07.08.2018 22:37:46] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But what can you do when you're a rag-tag revolutionary paramilitary.
  90. [07.08.2018 22:38:01] NO-I-Premonition: Hm. I've only been to an Omicron freeport once, and the impression I got was that those Zoners are not easy to push around.
  91. [07.08.2018 22:38:14] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Anywho - After Loyola entered the picture, she made a peace agreement with Kyu Akibara, administrator of Freeport 11.
  92. [07.08.2018 22:39:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Loyola and Akibara agreed to establish an joint annex constructed by the zoners and mutually operated by the Freeport
  93. [07.08.2018 22:39:03] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: administration and APM.
  94. [07.08.2018 22:39:26] NO-I-Premonition: Golanski took this as a personal affront, I expect.
  95. [07.08.2018 22:39:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Order, obviously contested to this, and the annex, designated Port Carthage, was destroyed 72-94 hours later.
  96. [07.08.2018 22:40:04] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Yes. So much he not only had Kyu Akibara's head marked for death, but he had, aformentioned, threatened the destruction of
  97. [07.08.2018 22:40:17] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: the freeport if he did not leave the Freeport.
  98. [07.08.2018 22:40:22] NO-I-Premonition: I'm not surprised. Our experience with Golanski has been... less than ideal.
  99. [07.08.2018 22:40:26] O-|-Arachne[K]: Wasn't there something about him claiming it violated Order laws in a system they had no real control over?
  100. [07.08.2018 22:40:41] NO-I-Premonition: We've found the easiest way to handle the would-be emperor is to distract him with a hostile entity a few jumps away.
  101. [07.08.2018 22:41:09] NO-I-Premonition: But that was another time, at another star.
  102. [07.08.2018 22:41:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: After that he fled, and our Leader, Supreme Commander Nodoka Hanamura, who at the time was two years exiled from Kusari, took
  103. [07.08.2018 22:41:23] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: the helm of the freeport.
  104. [07.08.2018 22:41:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: She cares about it dearly, still to this day.
  105. [07.08.2018 22:41:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It was where she lived after she was exiled. But I digress.
  106. [07.08.2018 22:42:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Yes, the Order had attempted to destroy the base numerous times.
  107. [07.08.2018 22:42:19] NO-I-Premonition: Shooting first and asking questions of what remains is a frustratingly common tactic in Sirius these days.
  108. [07.08.2018 22:42:44] NO-I-Premonition: Getting a signal... Kane appears to be enroute.
  109. [07.08.2018 22:42:52] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Within the 72-96 hour period, The Order had attempted 3-4 times to destroy it.
  110. [07.08.2018 22:43:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: The last time, they had to call on the Corsairs for support.
  111. [07.08.2018 22:43:08] NO-I-Premonition: Oh, of course.
  112. [07.08.2018 22:43:20] NO-I-Premonition: Nothing says "we fight for humanity" like calling pirates to help destroy a civilian installation.
  113. [07.08.2018 22:43:23] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: And that time.. Forlorn Hope's Stenn.. forgot his first name, had used a NEMP against them.
  114. [07.08.2018 22:43:36] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Didn't save the station, however.
  115. [07.08.2018 22:43:43] NO-I-Premonition: Nicolas, I think.
  116. [07.08.2018 22:43:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: If anything, it just made them more irritated. And yes, Nick Stenn.
  117. [07.08.2018 22:43:53] NO-I-Premonition: Heard some rumors he may be in Kusari now, not sure what he's up to.
  118. [07.08.2018 22:44:06] NO-I-Premonition: Not even sure how reliable the rumors are.
  119. [07.08.2018 22:44:16] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Here's hoping we don't have to deal with him soon. I'd rather we be ready if they are true.
  120. [07.08.2018 22:44:32] NO-I-Premonition: ... that's an odd signal.
  121. [07.08.2018 22:44:33] O-|-Arachne[K]: Uhhh...
  122. [07.08.2018 22:44:41] O-|-Arachne[K]: What is that...
  123. [07.08.2018 22:44:43] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Ah, thought I'd find you here, Agent.
  124. [07.08.2018 22:44:59] NO-I-Premonition: Taskmaster. We were just discussing Golanski's attempts to annex the Sudetenland.
  125. [07.08.2018 22:45:12] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: *She laughs.*
  126. [07.08.2018 22:45:18] NO-F-Harold.Kane: That man concerns me sometimes.
  127. [07.08.2018 22:45:22] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai. We were.
  128. [07.08.2018 22:45:23] NO-I-Premonition: I feel like I'm flying the wrong ship for this meeting.
  129. [07.08.2018 22:45:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Only sometimes because I haven't seen him outside of the Omicrons in some time.
  130. [07.08.2018 22:45:45] 2018-08-08 02:45:45 SMT WARNING: A hyperspace breach is being opened by [Admin]Sovereign
  131. [07.08.2018 22:45:47] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Overwatch for the most part has been dead quiet.
  132. [07.08.2018 22:45:56] NO-I-Premonition: Picking up local warp, brace yourselves.
  133. [07.08.2018 22:45:59] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I feel we should move away.
  134. [07.08.2018 22:46:11] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Lords.
  135. [07.08.2018 22:46:29] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...I feel crazier then normal...
  136. [07.08.2018 22:46:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Premonition, how's the SEW-C on that bucket?
  137. [07.08.2018 22:46:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: If it's because you're hearing things, You're not alone, Serena-nee.
  138. [07.08.2018 22:46:57] NO-I-Premonition: Not ideal. It's an older LIMELIGHT prototype.
  139. [07.08.2018 22:47:09] NO-I-Premonition: Very stripped-down compared to even the current production model.
  140. [07.08.2018 22:47:21] NO-I-Premonition: It hasn't been replaced because that would require a total rebuild.
  141. [07.08.2018 22:47:31] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I haven't had time to get this new Falchion Mk III stripped down and rebuilt so I'm lacking as well.
  142. [07.08.2018 22:47:35] NO-F-Harold.Kane: It's basically bone stock.
  143. [07.08.2018 22:47:46] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Anyways, my apologies for not introducing myself.
  144. [07.08.2018 22:47:53] NO-I-Premonition: I believe Aquila sent some of their technicians away for a time, so we may have to wait.
  145. [07.08.2018 22:47:58] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We've yet to acquire some higher-end hardware ourselves.
  146. [07.08.2018 22:48:02] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Harold Kane, Taskmaster of the Fourth Octavarium Fleet, Minister of Relations for Natio Octavarium.
  147. [07.08.2018 22:48:25] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Mieko Iekahara, Supreme Commander-adjutant, Ouroboros Command Directorate, Ouroboros Revolutionary Group.
  148. [07.08.2018 22:48:41] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: // *Command Operations Directorate
  149. [07.08.2018 22:48:55] O-|-Arachne[K]: Serena Soraya... An honor to meet you.
  150. [07.08.2018 22:49:05] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I believe we've "spoken" before. Good to see you out in our corner of the great nothingness.
  151. [07.08.2018 22:49:07] NO-I-Premonition: Some of us skip the titles, yes.
  152. [07.08.2018 22:49:24] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai. We were doing patrols in Kusari and decided to stop by.
  153. [07.08.2018 22:49:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It helps that Tottori is next door.
  154. [07.08.2018 22:49:44] NO-I-Premonition: A useful back door.
  155. [07.08.2018 22:49:55] NO-I-Premonition: You mentioned something before I wanted to return to for a moment.
  156. [07.08.2018 22:50:04] O-|-Arachne[K]: And it has a fun attraction.
  157. [07.08.2018 22:50:06] NO-I-Premonition: About the other Dragons not fighting the Royalists?
  158. [07.08.2018 22:50:11] O-|-Arachne[K]: Just saying...
  159. [07.08.2018 22:50:45] NO-F-Harold.Kane: That *is* interesting, yes.
  160. [07.08.2018 22:50:53] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Kusari Royalists, not the Gauls. Those in support of a Royally-operated state rather than a congressional one.
  161. [07.08.2018 22:51:09] NO-I-Premonition: Ah, my mistake then. An unfortunate overlap in terms.
  162. [07.08.2018 22:51:21] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Our distaste for the Roi is probably the only thing we can agree on.
  163. [07.08.2018 22:52:09] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Kusari royalists... I'm assuming they support the Samura-backed shogunate.
  164. [07.08.2018 22:52:41] NO-F-Saronsen;: Good evening.
  165. [07.08.2018 22:52:46] O-|-Arachne[K]: My my... So many.
  166. [07.08.2018 22:52:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Good evening, Specialist.
  167. [07.08.2018 22:52:52] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Back from patrols, I take it?
  168. [07.08.2018 22:53:01] NO-I-Premonition: ... is that what he does?
  169. [07.08.2018 22:53:04] NO-F-Saronsen;: Yeah my.. week long patrol.
  170. [07.08.2018 22:53:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It's a blanket term more or less. Dragons want their Shogun in power. Golden Chrysanthemums want their Queen, depending on what
  171. [07.08.2018 22:53:14] NO-F-Saronsen;: [Subtle throat clearing]
  172. [07.08.2018 22:53:23] NO-I-Premonition: Yes, that's going to run into some fundamental issues...
  173. [07.08.2018 22:53:25] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: flavor of cardamine they're inhaling on their period.
  174. [07.08.2018 22:53:33] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Oh definitely.
  175. [07.08.2018 22:53:46] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: They collaborate, and yet, they fail to realize they are incompatible.
  176. [07.08.2018 22:54:05] NO-I-Premonition: essentially, if they achieve their goals they're going to manufacture a succession crisis
  177. [07.08.2018 22:54:20] NO-F-Saronsen;: I keep hearing about how great cardi is. Managed to avoid /that/ mess all these years.
  178. [07.08.2018 22:54:21] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ouroboros does not mind working with Ando, as we merely see them as the equivalent to a similar political party.
  179. [07.08.2018 22:54:31] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Strange question. What's Ouroboros' stance on the cardamine trade?
  180. [07.08.2018 22:55:19] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We're.. deciding it right now. Currently the COD's legislative session is debating whether or not to permit legalizing it in
  181. [07.08.2018 22:55:21] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: small amounts.
  182. [07.08.2018 22:55:23] O-|-Arachne[K]: Isn't Cardamine the mutagenic stuff that kills you if you don't keep taking it?
  183. [07.08.2018 22:55:27] NO-I-Premonition: Wonder if those Kishiro robots could be adapted to the Cardamine fields...
  184. [07.08.2018 22:55:34] NO-F-Saronsen;: Technically, yes.
  185. [07.08.2018 22:55:47] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Some are opposed, due to that exact reason.
  186. [07.08.2018 22:55:49] O-|-Arachne[K]: Still not as bad as....
  187. [07.08.2018 22:55:50] NO-I-Premonition: There's that annoying signal again.
  188. [07.08.2018 22:55:53] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I mean, many things will kill you if you don't keep taking it.
  189. [07.08.2018 22:55:53] O-|-Arachne[K]: It's back...
  190. [07.08.2018 22:56:02] NO-F-Saronsen;: In small doses the effect on your DNA is 'negligible'.
  191. [07.08.2018 22:56:04] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: True.. Oxygen, Water..
  192. [07.08.2018 22:56:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: Cardamine, cardamine..
  193. [07.08.2018 22:56:16] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: For me, Electricity is one, to be honest.
  194. [07.08.2018 22:56:17] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...Was that always there?
  195. [07.08.2018 22:56:27] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I wonder that myself.
  196. [07.08.2018 22:56:38] NO-I-Premonition: Anyway. I believe the Octavarian stance is mostly hands off.
  197. [07.08.2018 22:56:57] NO-F-Saronsen;: Obviously we don't discriminate on those already dependant.
  198. [07.08.2018 22:56:58] NO-F-Harold.Kane: As long as everyone involved is a willing party, we don't care.
  199. [07.08.2018 22:57:08] NO-F-Harold.Kane: That goes from the user all the way to the source, mind you.
  200. [07.08.2018 22:57:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I've heard rumors of this "ADMIN" Group. Some call them omnipotent entities. Given I haven't slept lately, I'm going to assume
  201. [07.08.2018 22:57:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: that what I just saw was a hallucination.
  202. [07.08.2018 22:57:39] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But I digress.
  203. [07.08.2018 22:57:42] NO-I-Premonition: Fairy tales and ghost stories, nothing more.
  204. [07.08.2018 22:57:46] O-|-Arachne[K]: But uh... What was I saying? Oh right. Not as bad as Nox...
  205. [07.08.2018 22:57:48] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, Hai.
  206. [07.08.2018 22:58:01] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We.. have yet to actually do intelligence work on Nox.
  207. [07.08.2018 22:58:02] O-|-Arachne[K]: You haven't seen what it does to the body have you?
  208. [07.08.2018 22:58:03] NO-I-Premonition: Nox, isn't that the.... slug juice? or am I thinking of some other disgusting thing to come out of Gallia...
  209. [07.08.2018 22:58:15] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Eeeeech..
  210. [07.08.2018 22:58:26] NO-F-Saronsen;: Probably the radiation from that uranium planetoid throwing off your scanners.
  211. [07.08.2018 22:58:37] NO-F-Harold.Kane: It's certainly a drug.
  212. [07.08.2018 22:58:42] NO-I-Premonition: Not back here, Saronsen.
  213. [07.08.2018 22:59:02] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I still don't believe that's actually composed of as much uranium as long-range probing suggests.
  214. [07.08.2018 22:59:04] NO-I-Premonition: Solar radiation would overwhelm anything from that planetoid at this range.
  215. [07.08.2018 22:59:22] O-|-Arachne[K]: It's... A horrid cocktail that kills the body slowly.
  216. [07.08.2018 22:59:51] O-|-Arachne[K]: The fact that I have to put that in through the chat glitch is stupid.
  217. [07.08.2018 22:59:57] NO-F-Saronsen;: It's.. Well..
  218. [07.08.2018 23:00:05] NO-I-Premonition: Personally, I don't trust stabiline either
  219. [07.08.2018 23:00:11] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: What, because you said cock?
  220. [07.08.2018 23:00:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: It's a bacterium that produces it if I recall, Nox.
  221. [07.08.2018 23:00:15] NO-I-Premonition: but that's because of Cryer.
  222. [07.08.2018 23:00:30] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hanamura-sensei has a strong aversion to Synth Paste.
  223. [07.08.2018 23:00:39] O-|-Arachne[K]: Yeah
  224. [07.08.2018 23:00:40] NO-F-Saronsen;: I recommend synth gel.
  225. [07.08.2018 23:00:41] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I guess that's because of her upbrining.
  226. [07.08.2018 23:00:56] O-|-Arachne[K]: Can't use "cocky" either
  227. [07.08.2018 23:00:59] NO-I-Premonition: there's a reason we import food from Cambridge and Kyushu
  228. [07.08.2018 23:01:14] NO-F-Saronsen;: [mumbles] Nothin' wrong with synth..
  229. [07.08.2018 23:01:35] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: One of our shell companies reported the other day that one of their transports had a Synth Foods pilot say something along the
  230. [07.08.2018 23:01:41] NO-I-Premonition: It's not an ethics thing or whatever, I just absolutely hate the texture.
  231. [07.08.2018 23:01:42] O-|-Arachne[K]: I don't understand her aversion to it... Tastes fine in my experience.
  232. [07.08.2018 23:01:48] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Synth substitutes are interesting. Some of them are kind of like the actual food, but for the most part they're... disappointin
  233. [07.08.2018 23:01:58] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: lines of.. "Greetings, today's a great day to have synth paste" or something like that.
  234. [07.08.2018 23:02:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Sounded like the man was brainwashed.
  235. [07.08.2018 23:02:18] NO-I-Premonition: That's just typical corporate nonsense.
  236. [07.08.2018 23:02:25] NO-I-Premonition: Toe the company line or you're out of a job.
  237. [07.08.2018 23:02:40] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Good thing I work for Hanamura-sensei, then.
  238. [07.08.2018 23:02:45] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Imagine if other companies did that. "Today's a great day to have CARDAMINE!"
  239. [07.08.2018 23:03:01] NO-I-Premonition: To a megacorp, you're not a person. You're a number. And you're easily replaced.
  240. [07.08.2018 23:03:05] O-|-Arachne[K]: "Smoke"
  241. [07.08.2018 23:03:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Well the old slogan "Cardamine, Cardamine, everyone wants cardamine" still rings around in my head every now and again.
  242. [07.08.2018 23:03:16] NO-F-Saronsen;: Today's a great day to get paid fractions of what your work is worth.
  243. [07.08.2018 23:03:20] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Liberty Rogues. Prime distributor of a sketchy cut form of a drug you can "trust."
  244. [07.08.2018 23:03:46] NO-I-Premonition: Of course, the fact that corporations only see numbers can be useful sometimes...
  245. [07.08.2018 23:03:50] NO-F-Saronsen;: Ironically it's less sketchy than junker blends.
  246. [07.08.2018 23:03:53] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Implying you can trust the rogues with anything.. They're nuts.
  247. [07.08.2018 23:04:06] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Interspace Commerce. Today's a great day for ALL OF THE MONEY.
  248. [07.08.2018 23:04:12] NO-I-Premonition: That's just it though
  249. [07.08.2018 23:04:19] NO-I-Premonition: most gangs of Rogues aren't nuts.
  250. [07.08.2018 23:04:20] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Rogues were always a thorn in our historical side.
  251. [07.08.2018 23:04:25] NO-F-Saronsen;: I mean it /is/ a great day for money.
  252. [07.08.2018 23:04:27] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Some of them were stable.
  253. [07.08.2018 23:04:27] NO-I-Premonition: Individual Rogues? Can't trust them.
  254. [07.08.2018 23:04:38] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: One of our transports ran into one of those Pirate nutjobs from liberty.. Torpedo.. something or other.
  255. [07.08.2018 23:04:44] NO-I-Premonition: Gangs, though? If they're stable enough to stay cohesive for more than two months, you can probably figure out what to expect
  256. [07.08.2018 23:04:45] O-|-Arachne[K]: So... The opposite to normal?
  257. [07.08.2018 23:04:53] NO-I-Premonition: ... Torpedo, you say?
  258. [07.08.2018 23:04:56] NO-F-Saronsen;: Heh.
  259. [07.08.2018 23:04:58] NO-I-Premonition: An Aquila repair ship ran into one of those.
  260. [07.08.2018 23:04:59] O-|-Arachne[K]: "A person is smart, people are stupid."
  261. [07.08.2018 23:05:09] NO-F-Harold.Kane: But you get into those "I bought a twelfth-hand Greyhound" Rogues and nothing is sacred anymore.
  262. [07.08.2018 23:05:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Heard from that same transport that ran off to Norfolk that a Liberty Battlecruiser undocked from the station and went in its'
  263. [07.08.2018 23:05:20] NO-I-Premonition: He tried to extort the repair ship. Five Auxesians and a Bounty Hunter showed up.
  264. [07.08.2018 23:05:20] NO-F-Saronsen;: I may have flown with the Torpedoes once.
  265. [07.08.2018 23:05:22] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: general direction.
  266. [07.08.2018 23:05:44] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Twelth Hand..?
  267. [07.08.2018 23:05:46] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Auxesians... Agent, remind me to send your boss some intel on that later.
  268. [07.08.2018 23:05:59] NO-I-Premonition: What'd they do *this* time
  269. [07.08.2018 23:06:03] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Twelfth-hand. As in, eleven people died in it beforehand.
  270. [07.08.2018 23:06:05] NO-F-Saronsen;: Heh.
  271. [07.08.2018 23:06:07] NO-I-Premonition: Probably above my clearance.
  272. [07.08.2018 23:06:09] O-|-Arachne[K]: Wait...
  273. [07.08.2018 23:06:15] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Significantly, yes.
  274. [07.08.2018 23:06:16] O-|-Arachne[K]: Those ships can last that long?
  275. [07.08.2018 23:06:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: By that point you'd expect it to be rusted trash.
  276. [07.08.2018 23:06:25] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Z-series is impressive in its resiliency.
  277. [07.08.2018 23:06:25] NO-I-Premonition: Are you familiar with the Ship of Theseus?
  278. [07.08.2018 23:06:34] NO-I-Premonition: Because there's a lot of that with the Z series.
  279. [07.08.2018 23:06:34] NO-F-Saronsen;: The trick is to make it out of aluminium-titanium alloys.
  280. [07.08.2018 23:06:35] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Or at least its ability to have parts swapped in and out.
  281. [07.08.2018 23:06:38] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But then again, they look like that to begin with.
  282. [07.08.2018 23:07:13] O-|-Arachne[K]: Hold up... The Z-series. Aren't those the ships like the Sabre?
  283. [07.08.2018 23:07:14] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The other trick is to paint the rust on so it looks like your ship is a bigger pile of crap than it actually is.
  284. [07.08.2018 23:07:19] NO-I-Premonition: No, that's Series Z.
  285. [07.08.2018 23:07:25] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...
  286. [07.08.2018 23:07:33] O-|-Arachne[K]: Okay...
  287. [07.08.2018 23:07:34] NO-I-Premonition: This is why you don't let pirates name things.
  288. [07.08.2018 23:07:39] NO-I-Premonition: Isn't that right, Kane?
  289. [07.08.2018 23:07:40] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I am certain the Pirates do this to troll people.
  290. [07.08.2018 23:07:49] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Hey, John gave me the goddamn book.
  291. [07.08.2018 23:07:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I just pull a name out of it when someone asks for one.
  292. [07.08.2018 23:07:57] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But then again, the Mollies were never bright people.
  293. [07.08.2018 23:08:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Also.. Auxesia. Does the name Mugunghwa ring a bell?
  294. [07.08.2018 23:08:37] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...Mieko you do realize the Harpies will hear this in the debrief right?
  295. [07.08.2018 23:08:38] NO-I-Premonition: Hmm... I have something calling me back to station.
  296. [07.08.2018 23:08:48] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Not if I wipe your blackbox.
  297. [07.08.2018 23:08:58] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: And even then, Boss is exempt from that statement.
  298. [07.08.2018 23:09:45] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I'm really hoping the nice Agent didn't hear my comment about his boss and decide to quickly go start wiping his comm logs.
  299. [07.08.2018 23:09:59] NO-F-Harold.Kane: ...Mind you I'm not actually sure *which* agent was flying the Premonition just now.
  300. [07.08.2018 23:10:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: *She laughs again.*
  301. [07.08.2018 23:10:12] NO-F-Saronsen;: I don't either actually.
  302. [07.08.2018 23:10:21] NO-F-Saronsen;: Your encryption is particularly good, by the way.
  303. [07.08.2018 23:10:26] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Paracusia.
  304. [07.08.2018 23:10:34] NO-F-Harold.Kane: That one does not ring a bell.
  305. [07.08.2018 23:10:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Goddammit, Escher.
  306. [07.08.2018 23:11:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Anywho, you spoke of the Auxesians.
  307. [07.08.2018 23:11:14] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Odd folk, yes.
  308. [07.08.2018 23:11:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Mugunghwa was an operative of theirs a while back.
  309. [07.08.2018 23:11:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Well, by while back, we mean about 3 or so months ago.
  310. [07.08.2018 23:11:32] NO-F-Saronsen;: Aren't they basically uh..
  311. [07.08.2018 23:11:36] NO-F-Saronsen;: Techno-philes?
  312. [07.08.2018 23:12:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Well, we'd be considered that as well, but We prefer to share our creations with the world, rather than shun ourselves away
  313. [07.08.2018 23:12:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: from it.
  314. [07.08.2018 23:12:21] NO-F-Saronsen;: Are you augmenting yourselves to be more machine than human?
  315. [07.08.2018 23:12:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: That implies that I was originally human.
  316. [07.08.2018 23:12:46] NO-F-Saronsen;: ..What?
  317. [07.08.2018 23:13:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I am Kishiro Technologies K/WA-11 Serial 0027-A, "HONYA".
  318. [07.08.2018 23:13:15] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Legally and formally known as Mieko Iekahara.
  319. [07.08.2018 23:13:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Ohhhh god.
  320. [07.08.2018 23:13:22] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Oh, neat.
  321. [07.08.2018 23:13:29] NO-F-Saronsen;: Sentient AI concerns me.
  322. [07.08.2018 23:13:48] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We have had some of our own semi-sentient AI in the past but never an actual artificial sophont.
  323. [07.08.2018 23:13:48] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I assume it's because of fears that we'll take over the world? Well.. worlds?
  324. [07.08.2018 23:14:06] NO-F-Harold.Kane: VR-02 was a good... friend?
  325. [07.08.2018 23:14:07] NO-F-Saronsen;: Because I worked for Ageira and developed my own intelligences.
  326. [07.08.2018 23:14:09] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Friend.
  327. [07.08.2018 23:14:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: I know what can happen.
  328. [07.08.2018 23:14:13] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Let's go with friend.
  329. [07.08.2018 23:14:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: He was a nice fella, as long as you didn't get on his bad side. Then he'd get stabby. Or shooty. Or both.
  330. [07.08.2018 23:15:18] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I am more or less quantum based, operating nearly 1:1 to the human brain in terms of operational ability. I can "overclock"..
  331. [07.08.2018 23:15:26] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: but it is usually a heavy stress on this body.
  332. [07.08.2018 23:15:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Human bodies are such fragile things.
  333. [07.08.2018 23:15:51] NO-F-Saronsen;: Yeah, but one good malfunction in your wetwork, even momentary, can be..
  334. [07.08.2018 23:15:52] NO-F-Saronsen;: Uh..
  335. [07.08.2018 23:15:55] NO-F-Saronsen;: Apocalyptic?
  336. [07.08.2018 23:16:29] NO-F-Saronsen;: But you seem reasonably more advanced than anything I dared put together.
  337. [07.08.2018 23:16:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I have a data retention battery in my QPU that lasts 30 minutes before data degredation kicks in, if not connected to a EPS.
  338. [07.08.2018 23:16:57] NO-F-Saronsen;: Good god, do you have a small nuclear reactor in your body?
  339. [07.08.2018 23:16:59] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: My QPU handles cognitive and memory functions.
  340. [07.08.2018 23:17:11] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Nai. Caloric Inverter.
  341. [07.08.2018 23:17:38] NO-F-Saronsen;: I suppose quantum computing never was my best field.
  342. [07.08.2018 23:17:40] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Our q-blocks were off-the-back-of-a-truck so we had some interesting degradation problems.
  343. [07.08.2018 23:17:51] NO-F-Saronsen;: The only near-sentient AI I ran needed a gunship to power its processor.
  344. [07.08.2018 23:17:59] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Usually the semi-sentient ones just got unreliable.
  345. [07.08.2018 23:18:03] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: The body's design was that of Ingennus Research Group.
  346. [07.08.2018 23:18:05] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Except for the one that became sentient.
  347. [07.08.2018 23:18:16] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I need to go pick his brain out of storage though
  348. [07.08.2018 23:18:25] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I miss the kooky guy.
  349. [07.08.2018 23:18:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: However, using schemata that Erzie had left inside the documentation, we were able to reverse engineer the hardware to create
  350. [07.08.2018 23:18:36] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: our own shells.
  351. [07.08.2018 23:18:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: They're quite pricey, however. Both the bodies and the construction system.
  352. [07.08.2018 23:18:57] NO-F-Saronsen;: So you're..
  353. [07.08.2018 23:19:08] NO-F-Saronsen;: Androids wouldn't be accurate would it?
  354. [07.08.2018 23:19:12] NO-F-Saronsen;: Cyborg?
  355. [07.08.2018 23:19:16] NO-F-Saronsen;: Naah..
  356. [07.08.2018 23:19:16] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: A Synthetic Human, more or less.
  357. [07.08.2018 23:19:18] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We might give you a ring if we need some bodies, then.
  358. [07.08.2018 23:19:24] NO-F-Harold.Kane: ...That sounded less weird in my head.
  359. [07.08.2018 23:19:26] NO-F-Saronsen;: That sounds dirty.
  360. [07.08.2018 23:19:29] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Gladly. Ouroboros would be more than happy to help.
  361. [07.08.2018 23:19:45] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Speaking of.. we do need assistance in a matter.
  362. [07.08.2018 23:19:51] NO-F-Saronsen;: I.. how much would a body cost?
  363. [07.08.2018 23:19:55] NO-F-Saronsen;: I would love to pick it apart.
  364. [07.08.2018 23:20:04] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...
  365. [07.08.2018 23:20:07] O-|-Arachne[K]: I like you.
  366. [07.08.2018 23:20:20] NO-F-Saronsen;: I worked for Ageira and then picked apart their work as a Lane Hacker.
  367. [07.08.2018 23:20:24] NO-F-Saronsen;: All I have going for me is my mind.
  368. [07.08.2018 23:20:51] O-|-Arachne[K]: Though, speaking from expreience... Not too different from a human body.
  369. [07.08.2018 23:21:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: The prices range from 80 million to 240 million. the bodies are compatible with the K/WA-11 QPU Socket, and also can be
  370. [07.08.2018 23:21:07] O-|-Arachne[K]: Still messy when parts go flying.
  371. [07.08.2018 23:21:14] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: modified to take most Ageira and Kishiro SoC chips.
  372. [07.08.2018 23:21:42] NO-F-Saronsen;: I might buy several then. The leaps synthetic technology has made in the last decade is astounding.
  373. [07.08.2018 23:21:45] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm so far behind.
  374. [07.08.2018 23:22:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: The body is handled by a conventional backplane that communicates with the brain.
  375. [07.08.2018 23:22:18] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Special note. The brain inside the shell is partly lobotomized on creation.
  376. [07.08.2018 23:22:36] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: This is to prevent extreme risk due to Ghosting.
  377. [07.08.2018 23:22:38] O-|-Arachne[K]: Serena: Should we not mention the ability to move minds into them?
  378. [07.08.2018 23:22:46] NO-F-Saronsen;: Don't need the brain, picking apart something that's bordering alive raises moral concerns.
  379. [07.08.2018 23:22:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Not yet. That has yet to be declassified.
  380. [07.08.2018 23:22:51] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Last QPU system we used was an Ageira ER-X 18K q-block, but it kind of just showed up on our doorstep one day.
  381. [07.08.2018 23:23:03] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We never actually paid anyone for the thing so in retrospect I'm wondering if it was a trap.
  382. [07.08.2018 23:23:28] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We personally make sure any devices entering our network are scanned in triplicate for spyware or malware.
  383. [07.08.2018 23:23:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Can never be too careful.
  384. [07.08.2018 23:23:53] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Back then we had full use of Lane Hacker firewall tech so we were never too worried.
  385. [07.08.2018 23:24:07] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Speaking of.. Lane hackers. What's your situaiton with them.
  386. [07.08.2018 23:24:20] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm fairly certain the Taskmasters uh..
  387. [07.08.2018 23:24:23] NO-F-Saronsen;: Dislike.
  388. [07.08.2018 23:24:25] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Ha. One of these days the shit's going to pop off between us and them.
  389. [07.08.2018 23:24:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I see.
  390. [07.08.2018 23:24:39] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm indifferent.
  391. [07.08.2018 23:24:40] NO-F-Harold.Kane: So far it's been pretty calm.
  392. [07.08.2018 23:25:00] NO-F-Harold.Kane: They pirated one of our transports, we asked Malta to sort it out, the Lane Hackers got all indignant.
  393. [07.08.2018 23:25:02] NO-F-Saronsen;: I could /probably/ get some of my goodies from Mactan still.
  394. [07.08.2018 23:25:26] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I have contacts around various Hacker stations so I never worry too much about it to be fair.
  395. [07.08.2018 23:26:05] NO-F-Harold.Kane: But one of these days the old wounds are going to open and a demon is going to come out.
  396. [07.08.2018 23:26:16] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We will take heavy losses.
  397. [07.08.2018 23:26:18] NO-F-Saronsen;: I /really/ want my gunship back before that happens.
  398. [07.08.2018 23:26:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We actually used for a short while, Lane Hacker NNGUID spoofing technology to pose as someone for a operation undergoing as we
  399. [07.08.2018 23:26:22] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: speak in kusari.
  400. [07.08.2018 23:26:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: They will however learn that while the Lane Hackers need Malta, Malta does not need the Lane Hackers.
  401. [07.08.2018 23:26:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We have no interest in working with the Lane Hackers. Ergo, if something happens, let us know and we'll be more than happy to
  402. [07.08.2018 23:26:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: help.
  403. [07.08.2018 23:26:50] NO-F-Saronsen;: The Lane Hackers aren't even a large percentage of the Cardamine trade anyway.
  404. [07.08.2018 23:26:58] NO-F-Saronsen;: Even the /Rogues/ transport more.
  405. [07.08.2018 23:27:06] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Good to know.
  406. [07.08.2018 23:27:20] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Lane Hackers, however, are dependent on the stuff for survival.
  407. [07.08.2018 23:27:29] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Speaking of Malta.. what is your position on The Nazione Maltesa?
  408. [07.08.2018 23:27:29] NO-F-Saronsen;: Well.. most.
  409. [07.08.2018 23:27:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: It'd be a shame if that went away if they decided to war with us.
  410. [07.08.2018 23:27:43] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We personally strongly dislike their slavery policies.
  411. [07.08.2018 23:27:48] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We disapprove of slavery.
  412. [07.08.2018 23:27:59] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Good to see we are in agreement, Kane-dono.
  413. [07.08.2018 23:28:02] NO-F-Saronsen;: There's a few strong-willed fellows like myself who always wore a respirator on stations.
  414. [07.08.2018 23:28:12] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We are allied with the Amalfi Union, a union of families that are against the use of slave labour on Malta.
  415. [07.08.2018 23:28:21] NO-F-Saronsen;: You may not believe me, but it's actually better to be a slave on Malta than on.. any other pirate base.
  416. [07.08.2018 23:28:30] NO-F-Saronsen;: You don't want to hear about the birthing farms on Buffalo.
  417. [07.08.2018 23:28:41] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Their farms are staffed by free men and women, non-sentient robots, and the like.
  418. [07.08.2018 23:28:56] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We ourselves own a few square kilometres of land on Malta, actually.
  419. [07.08.2018 23:29:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Amalfi. Interesting. I will notify the COD to keep them in consideration for diplomatic talks via Hakugyokurou.
  420. [07.08.2018 23:29:00] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...Mmm... Good to know...
  421. [07.08.2018 23:29:02] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Operated and owned by our own people.
  422. [07.08.2018 23:29:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Most slaves taken to Malta see freedom in a handful of years.
  423. [07.08.2018 23:29:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hmm. Well, I will concede that at least they're humane about it.
  424. [07.08.2018 23:29:37] NO-F-Saronsen;: Heard stories of up to two decades though.
  425. [07.08.2018 23:29:37] NO-F-Harold.Kane: One hundred percent casualty free cardamine, produced by our people for our people.
  426. [07.08.2018 23:30:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Does not change my stance on it, however.
  427. [07.08.2018 23:30:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: Quite.
  428. [07.08.2018 23:30:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Irregardless, I wanted to ask you about the Mercantile Guild.
  429. [07.08.2018 23:30:31] O-|-Arachne[K]: I mean... As long as their aren't forcefully gassing people with the stuff.
  430. [07.08.2018 23:30:42] NO-F-Saronsen;: I had my.. eyes opened a bit when I commanded one of those Zoner colony ships for a handful of years.
  431. [07.08.2018 23:30:49] NO-F-Saronsen;: Good times.
  432. [07.08.2018 23:30:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Guild is not exactly under my control but I do have my fingers in it. I can make a phone call if you need one.
  433. [07.08.2018 23:31:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ouroboros will be starting a logistical campaign to help bring our base up to snuff, now that We are starting to get things
  434. [07.08.2018 23:31:03] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: moving.
  435. [07.08.2018 23:31:23] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Saronsen-san, you seem quite travelled.
  436. [07.08.2018 23:31:35] NO-F-Saronsen;: More than I have any right to be
  437. [07.08.2018 23:31:53] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Speaking of.. Zoner capitals.. our flagship, Abdicant Seraphine.. Is an Aquilon-class from Hanamura-sensei's time as
  438. [07.08.2018 23:31:53] NO-F-Saronsen;: Apparently Liberty forgot I was a criminal for.. several years.
  439. [07.08.2018 23:31:58] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Administrator at Freeport 11.
  440. [07.08.2018 23:32:09] O-|-Arachne[K]: Sounds like that Montante the Harpies have... Gold-1?
  441. [07.08.2018 23:32:09] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Surprised still, that Voncloud let her have it.
  442. [07.08.2018 23:32:22] NO-F-Saronsen;: Ohh, I had the old fashioned Jinkusu.
  443. [07.08.2018 23:32:28] NO-F-Saronsen;: Behemoth of a thing.
  444. [07.08.2018 23:32:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: The closest I have been to anything resembling a Jinkusu is the TAZ's flagship.
  445. [07.08.2018 23:33:17] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Haven't seen Brettonias-san in a while. Hanamura-sensei really wanted to talk with him, but a lot of things came up.
  446. [07.08.2018 23:33:53] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I haven't heard from him in some four years.
  447. [07.08.2018 23:33:59] NO-F-Saronsen;: After the Zoners I had a very short stint with the Hellfire.
  448. [07.08.2018 23:34:04] NO-F-Saronsen;: That was.. an experience.
  449. [07.08.2018 23:34:18] O-|-Arachne[K]: Good people?
  450. [07.08.2018 23:34:22] NO-F-Saronsen;: Not even close.
  451. [07.08.2018 23:34:26] O-|-Arachne[K]: Oh my.
  452. [07.08.2018 23:34:40] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Odd folk.
  453. [07.08.2018 23:34:45] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We were allied to them some eight years ago.
  454. [07.08.2018 23:34:52] NO-F-Saronsen;: I inned and outed in three months.
  455. [07.08.2018 23:34:56] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Then we lost most of our fleet and had to go into hiding.
  456. [07.08.2018 23:35:07] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I miss the old days of the Raiders, the Legion, and the Front.
  457. [07.08.2018 23:35:12] NO-F-Saronsen;: Since then I've been with the Natio. Previously the Raiders.
  458. [07.08.2018 23:35:49] O-|-Arachne[K]: I'll be honest I don't see you people as the raiding type.
  459. [07.08.2018 23:35:57] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Nai, neither do I.
  460. [07.08.2018 23:36:02] NO-I-Premonition: Time changes people.
  461. [07.08.2018 23:36:47] NO-I-Premonition: Not all of us were Raiders, though. Me... that's a story for another time.
  462. [07.08.2018 23:37:06] NO-F-Saronsen;: Not really worth bragging, but I was personally hated by Admiral Hale, back in Liberty.
  463. [07.08.2018 23:37:13] NO-F-Saronsen;: I was definitely the raiding type.
  464. [07.08.2018 23:37:17] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I was slated more or less to be a demonstration AI for trade shows. That changed when Hanamura-sensei found me.
  465. [07.08.2018 23:37:17] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I'm... actually unsure where Escher picked some of the new agents up from.
  466. [07.08.2018 23:37:22] NO-F-Saronsen;: It *is* the source of my fortune after all.
  467. [07.08.2018 23:37:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I do appreciate that we operate with that kind of autonomy from each other.
  468. [07.08.2018 23:37:35] NO-I-Premonition: That's the idea, Taskmaster.
  469. [07.08.2018 23:37:53] NO-F-Saronsen;: So are you both.. androids?
  470. [07.08.2018 23:38:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ie. Arachne is pure human.
  471. [07.08.2018 23:38:14] NO-F-Saronsen;: Gotcha.
  472. [07.08.2018 23:38:15] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I do have a sister.
  473. [07.08.2018 23:38:24] O-|-Arachne[K]: Noble birth even... If you can believe anything about me as noble.
  474. [07.08.2018 23:38:27] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Same model family, Serial Number 0028-A. "PALE BRIDE".
  475. [07.08.2018 23:38:45] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Goes by Mugunghwa. Can't divulge her real name for internal reasons.
  476. [07.08.2018 23:38:49] NO-F-Saronsen;: A twin then?
  477. [07.08.2018 23:38:56] NO-I-Premonition: Before you ask, Kane, no there still haven't been any reports from Proteus.
  478. [07.08.2018 23:38:59] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ie. She's more brash and direct.
  479. [07.08.2018 23:39:28] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: In fact, hanamura-sensei once said to Keeper Leviathan of Auxesia that Bride-nee-san had no diplomatic skills.
  480. [07.08.2018 23:39:28] NO-F-Saronsen;: Sounds like the kind of woman to shoot me for my mouth.
  481. [07.08.2018 23:39:41] NO-F-Saronsen;: ...Yeah sounds like my kind of woman.
  482. [07.08.2018 23:39:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: She takes pleasure in irritating people.
  483. [07.08.2018 23:39:53] O-|-Arachne[K]: She's taken sadly.
  484. [07.08.2018 23:39:54] NO-F-Saronsen;: For a number of reasons I'm not allowed to be at diplomatic meetings.
  485. [07.08.2018 23:39:57] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I take pleasure in Helping, rather.
  486. [07.08.2018 23:40:01] NO-F-Saronsen;: Just ask Kane.
  487. [07.08.2018 23:40:21] NO-F-Harold.Kane: *sigh*
  488. [07.08.2018 23:40:29] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai.
  489. [07.08.2018 23:40:32] NO-I-Premonition: We all have our talents... as difficult as that may be to believe in some cases.
  490. [07.08.2018 23:40:45] NO-F-Saronsen;: That reminds me.
  491. [07.08.2018 23:40:56] NO-F-Saronsen;: I'm not going to get airlocked if I crack your encryption am I?
  492. [07.08.2018 23:41:11] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Not my encryption.
  493. [07.08.2018 23:41:15] NO-F-Saronsen;: I've been at it for a week.
  494. [07.08.2018 23:41:30] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Mhm. She is a good fighter pilot. Has been FCO on the Seraphine since its' creation, and was the FCO on all ships since we met.
  495. [07.08.2018 23:41:30] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Crack Escher's and you might find the nice agent suspended above your bed in the middle of the night watching you.
  496. [07.08.2018 23:41:53] NO-I-Premonition: Aquila's been developing improved encryption ciphers since Kansas.
  497. [07.08.2018 23:41:53] NO-F-Saronsen;: I mean, yes, that's who I meant.
  498. [07.08.2018 23:42:06] NO-F-Saronsen;: It's actually /good/.
  499. [07.08.2018 23:42:10] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hanamura-sensei and Bride-nee-san bicker quite a bit. Her chest is usually the target of my sister's ridicule.
  500. [07.08.2018 23:42:24] NO-F-Saronsen;: Of course it is.
  501. [07.08.2018 23:42:27] O-|-Arachne[K]: It's envy I'm telling you.
  502. [07.08.2018 23:42:35] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: And nearly every time she retorts with half-threats of throwing her out of an airlock, or leaving a EMP Grenade in a faraday
  503. [07.08.2018 23:42:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: cage with her.
  504. [07.08.2018 23:42:39] NO-F-Saronsen;: They don't have penises to compare.
  505. [07.08.2018 23:42:43] NO-F-Saronsen;: Soooo..
  506. [07.08.2018 23:42:59] NO-I-Premonition: I'm reminded of the time someone referred to a flight instructor on Roppongi as Boob Sensei.
  507. [07.08.2018 23:43:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: *She laughs again, harder.*
  508. [07.08.2018 23:43:02] NO-I-Premonition: That was... not well received.
  509. [07.08.2018 23:43:30] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Haii.. So ne. Oppai-sensei.. Here's hoping Bride-nee-san doesn't catch wind of that.
  510. [07.08.2018 23:43:41] NO-I-Premonition: Glad to be of service.
  511. [07.08.2018 23:43:42] NO-F-Saronsen;: Heh, Oppai sensei.
  512. [07.08.2018 23:43:58] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Opp...?
  513. [07.08.2018 23:44:02] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Oppai.
  514. [07.08.2018 23:44:05] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I'm not going to inquire further.
  515. [07.08.2018 23:44:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Kusarian for breasts.
  516. [07.08.2018 23:44:19] NO-F-Saronsen;: I think 'large breasts' in specific.
  517. [07.08.2018 23:44:21] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I'm going to continue not inquiring further.
  518. [07.08.2018 23:44:26] O-|-Arachne[K]: Sarosen, want to go a round or two?
  519. [07.08.2018 23:44:30] NO-F-Saronsen;: I--
  520. [07.08.2018 23:44:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: that would be considered Bakunyu.
  521. [07.08.2018 23:44:34] NO-F-Saronsen;: What sort of rounds?
  522. [07.08.2018 23:44:37] NO-I-Premonition: ... phrasing?
  523. [07.08.2018 23:44:58] O-|-Arachne[K]: Sparring, playing at killing eachother.
  524. [07.08.2018 23:45:12] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Uhh.. Serena-chan.. please be careful to not irritate our friends.
  525. [07.08.2018 23:45:17] NO-F-Saronsen;: Ah, yes.
  526. [07.08.2018 23:45:27] NO-I-Premonition: I'm sure he already has plenty of practice handling people trying to kill him.
  527. [07.08.2018 23:45:28] O-|-Arachne[K]: What? He seems bored as well.
  528. [07.08.2018 23:45:36] NO-F-Saronsen;: My talents lay with gunboats but I could use the practice.
  529. [07.08.2018 23:45:45] NO-I-Premonition: Just keep it a bit away from Canberra.
  530. [07.08.2018 23:45:59] O-|-Arachne[K]: Yes that could be quite... Bad.
  531. [07.08.2018 23:46:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Serena-chan has had a.. rough past.
  532. [07.08.2018 23:46:20] O-|-Arachne[K]: On your go.
  533. [07.08.2018 23:46:21] NO-F-Saronsen;: Ready when you are.
  534. [07.08.2018 23:46:23] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I won't get into details, but.. familial differences have left several scars on her mentality.
  535. [07.08.2018 23:46:27] NO-F-Saronsen;: Go.
  536. [07.08.2018 23:46:31] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Keep it away from the station, please.
  537. [07.08.2018 23:46:35] NO-I-Premonition: I can't help but note that you keep bringing it up with her in range.
  538. [07.08.2018 23:46:43] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: She wasn't always this calm.. she was somewhat virulent.
  539. [07.08.2018 23:47:01] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It would be best to at least give a basic description of the situation, and why I do have more concern than would be expected.
  540. [07.08.2018 23:47:26] NO-I-Premonition: Hm. He's doing better than I expected.
  541. [07.08.2018 23:47:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: She's had quite a rough life.. more than most would expect. But I digress.
  542. [07.08.2018 23:47:39] NO-I-Premonition: I'd heard some rumors about difficulties with a certain Scimitar simulation.
  543. [07.08.2018 23:48:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Have you had much experience with the TAZ?
  544. [07.08.2018 23:48:28] NO-I-Premonition: I wonder if we can get some beacons up over there for a designated sparring zone.
  545. [07.08.2018 23:48:33] NO-I-Premonition: Kane, you field that one.
  546. [07.08.2018 23:48:53] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I have heard rumors that they do provide logistical services to some groups.
  547. [07.08.2018 23:49:13] NO-I-Premonition: ... Kane?
  548. [07.08.2018 23:49:17] NO-I-Premonition: Comm malfunction maybe.
  549. [07.08.2018 23:49:26] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Apologies. Phone call.
  550. [07.08.2018 23:49:35] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Some idiot ripped a fingernail off on...
  551. [07.08.2018 23:49:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Uh.
  552. [07.08.2018 23:49:38] NO-F-Harold.Kane: A thing.
  553. [07.08.2018 23:49:49] NO-I-Premonition: That sounds... unpleasant.
  554. [07.08.2018 23:49:58] NO-F-Harold.Kane: One of those odd bits of tooling. You know the ones, Agent.
  555. [07.08.2018 23:50:06] NO-I-Premonition: ... probably?
  556. [07.08.2018 23:50:10] NO-F-Saronsen;: Good thing I don't use nukes.
  557. [07.08.2018 23:50:20] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Anyways, the TAZ. Interesting folks.
  558. [07.08.2018 23:50:34] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We've had great experiences with them, though. Incredibly hard-working.
  559. [07.08.2018 23:50:48] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai. Our experiences with them - Hanamura-sensei, Bride-nee-san and I - have been quite nice.
  560. [07.08.2018 23:50:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Good, hardworking people.
  561. [07.08.2018 23:51:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Weird, due to their religion, but all humans have their belief systems.
  562. [07.08.2018 23:51:40] NO-I-Premonition: I've spent some time on Shasta before. It's a rare place of peace in Sirius.
  563. [07.08.2018 23:51:44] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I don't blame you all, to be honest. When you don't know the full extent of life itself, it's easy to want to believe in such
  564. [07.08.2018 23:51:49] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: things.
  565. [07.08.2018 23:52:31] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I've heard it is.
  566. [07.08.2018 23:52:43] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Anywho.. do you know who we would go about contacting for a logistical contract?
  567. [07.08.2018 23:53:03] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Mad John Rackham is the head pope, I believe.
  568. [07.08.2018 23:53:17] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ah. In that case I will have the HDAD contact him.
  569. [07.08.2018 23:54:04] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Other popes will fulfill the actual contract, but usually he does a few runs himself to oversee progress.
  570. [07.08.2018 23:54:12] NO-F-Harold.Kane: He's quite the gentleman about his work.
  571. [07.08.2018 23:54:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai. I wouldn't expect you to be hopping into a Hauler-type transport, Kane-dono.
  572. [07.08.2018 23:54:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: *She giggles slightly.*
  573. [07.08.2018 23:54:43] NO-I-Premonition: If you're situated in the Sigmas, the OMG isn't exactly in a good position to help.
  574. [07.08.2018 23:55:09] NO-I-Premonition: so TAZ is probably your best bet. Maybe the Junker's Congress, but they always want a favor. Eventually.
  575. [07.08.2018 23:55:10] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We'd be willing to pay well. You are on good terms with the Outcasts, right?
  576. [07.08.2018 23:55:20] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We're already indebted to the Junkers Congress.
  577. [07.08.2018 23:55:20] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Some more than others, but yes.
  578. [07.08.2018 23:55:27] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Seraphine is undergoing a large-scale refit.
  579. [07.08.2018 23:55:43] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Our base of operations is in Sigma-19, not too far from the Jump hole to Omicron Beta.
  580. [07.08.2018 23:56:32] NO-I-Premonition: The supply sourcing is a part of the issue, though.
  581. [07.08.2018 23:56:37] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Aaah.
  582. [07.08.2018 23:56:51] NO-I-Premonition: For example, the fusion diodes used in standard large-scale shield generators.
  583. [07.08.2018 23:57:07] NO-I-Premonition: Rheinland tightly controls their export, and we are... not exactly on speaking terms.
  584. [07.08.2018 23:57:18] NO-I-Premonition: On account of the attempted murder, see.
  585. [07.08.2018 23:57:35] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Aah.. yes.. the Rheinlanders.
  586. [07.08.2018 23:57:38] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We have yet to speak of them.
  587. [07.08.2018 23:57:54] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Personally we're indifferent to the conflict, as long as it doesn't get too close to Sigma-19.
  588. [07.08.2018 23:58:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hence why we're wanting to bolster defenses and the sort.
  589. [07.08.2018 23:58:13] NO-I-Premonition: You're situated between two would-be empires. It *will* get to Sigma-19.
  590. [07.08.2018 23:58:46] NO-I-Premonition: Rheinland is little more than a collection of dying stars. They can't go into the Omegas, it's more of the same.
  591. [07.08.2018 23:58:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: True. But then again we're well out of the way of interesting things. Even the Jumphole is still a ways out.
  592. [07.08.2018 23:59:09] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: No wonder when I go in to Rheinland, I start to feel depressed.
  593. [07.08.2018 23:59:29] NO-I-Premonition: That's probably not the only reason, but yes. Most of those stars are approaching the end of their cycle.
  594. [07.08.2018 23:59:46] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Rheinland is a socio-political mess.
  595. [08.08.2018 00:00:09] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Bundschuh, Rote Hessen Armee, Unioners..
  596. [08.08.2018 00:00:13] NO-I-Premonition: It will still be many years before they can no longer support life, but they would be stupid not to attempt to expand early.
  597. [08.08.2018 00:00:28] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Rheinland will expand where they feel they need living room.
  598. [08.08.2018 00:00:31] NO-I-Premonition: Of course, we weren't sure they'd go for Sigma.
  599. [08.08.2018 00:00:41] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Sigma if anything is a foolish Idea.
  600. [08.08.2018 00:00:48] NO-I-Premonition: GMG on one side, Corsairs another, Liberty the third.
  601. [08.08.2018 00:00:50] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: there are not many inhabitable planets in the Sigmas.
  602. [08.08.2018 00:00:52] Death: NO-F-Saronsen; was put out of action by O-|-Arachne[K] (Gun).
  603. [08.08.2018 00:00:58] NO-I-Premonition: No matter which way they went, they would be refighting a battle they once lost.
  604. [08.08.2018 00:01:05] O-|-Arachne[K]: Ahh... That was fun.
  605. [08.08.2018 00:01:11] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We have a winner.
  606. [08.08.2018 00:01:21] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Most impressive, Serena-chan
  607. [08.08.2018 00:01:21] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I should have timed that.
  608. [08.08.2018 00:01:35] NO-I-Premonition: Kusari was weakened by the invasion, and they've underestimated the Guild before.
  609. [08.08.2018 00:01:53] NO-F-Saronsen: Well, didn't think we were going for the kill there.
  610. [08.08.2018 00:01:55] NO-I-Premonition: However, their encounters with the Corsairs have been little more than raiding parties thus far; I assumed they'd go toward the
  611. [08.08.2018 00:01:56] NO-I-Premonition: Omicrons.
  612. [08.08.2018 00:01:56] NO-F-Saronsen: Vicious aren't we?
  613. [08.08.2018 00:02:13] O-|-Arachne[K]: Oh... We weren't?
  614. [08.08.2018 00:02:18] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Serena-chan....
  615. [08.08.2018 00:02:37] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Too bad you didn't pick up one of those nice, Natio-produced Ravens, Specialist. We could have you a brand new one right now
  616. [08.08.2018 00:02:38] NO-F-Saronsen: Well you did say 'play' at killing.
  617. [08.08.2018 00:02:38] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Please excuse her.. like I said.. She had a very.. aggressive personality prior to us finding her.
  618. [08.08.2018 00:02:54] NO-I-Premonition: He's escaped worse, he'll probably be fine.
  619. [08.08.2018 00:02:54] NO-F-Harold.Kane: All good. I'm sure.
  620. [08.08.2018 00:02:59] NO-F-Saronsen: It's fine, I have a dozen different ships in system.
  621. [08.08.2018 00:03:06] NO-F-Saronsen: I do have a new bruise forming though.
  622. [08.08.2018 00:03:46] NO-F-Saronsen: I've escaped the LPI Liberator swarms.
  623. [08.08.2018 00:03:51] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But yes.. the Rheinlanders.. as far as I'm aware, they're quite the militaristic lot.
  624. [08.08.2018 00:03:58] O-|-Arachne[K]: Apologies... I got a bit carried away. It was a good stress relief.
  625. [08.08.2018 00:04:06] NO-F-Saronsen: No problem.
  626. [08.08.2018 00:04:10] NO-I-Premonition: Something else that seems to be frustratingly common in Sirius.
  627. [08.08.2018 00:04:19] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Anyways, I apologize for the inconvenience, but I need to depart. I have another engagement that requires my attention.
  628. [08.08.2018 00:04:21] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai. Serena-chan, on our way home, we'll pick off some more Chrysanthemums.
  629. [08.08.2018 00:04:23] NO-I-Premonition: Why talk your problems over when you can just have three battleships attempt to murder everyone present.
  630. [08.08.2018 00:04:23] NO-F-Saronsen: This ship's a little less friendly what with the nuke and maxim.
  631. [08.08.2018 00:04:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: It is good to see you both.
  632. [08.08.2018 00:04:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai. It's nice to meet you Kane-dono.
  633. [08.08.2018 00:04:41] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I look forward to talking with you again.
  634. [08.08.2018 00:05:13] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Anywho.. About the Gauls.
  635. [08.08.2018 00:05:28] NO-F-Saronsen: Take it easy sometime, Taskmaster.
  636. [08.08.2018 00:05:42] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I assume after the last time the Crayterians showed Gallia the door, they didn't bother trying to come back?
  637. [08.08.2018 00:05:46] NO-I-Premonition: You can usually find him in hangar 5 when he's taking it easy.
  638. [08.08.2018 00:06:02] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Feel free to use the facilities on Canberra whenever you need them.
  639. [08.08.2018 00:06:07] NO-I-Premonition: They've sent the occasional recon party in here.
  640. [08.08.2018 00:06:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai. We will.
  641. [08.08.2018 00:06:23] NO-I-Premonition: They sent one agent in who I'm pretty sure we left thinking Canberra here was abandoned.
  642. [08.08.2018 00:06:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Hey, uh. Agent?
  643. [08.08.2018 00:06:53] NO-F-Harold.Kane: You ever see this thing sitting here before?
  644. [08.08.2018 00:06:58] NO-I-Premonition: I assumed it was an Aquila project.
  645. [08.08.2018 00:07:00] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hm?
  646. [08.08.2018 00:07:07] NO-F-Harold.Kane: What in the nine hells?
  647. [08.08.2018 00:07:08] NO-F-Saronsen: Huh
  648. [08.08.2018 00:07:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: It's more or less empty in here..
  649. [08.08.2018 00:07:53] NO-F-Saronsen: Broke out of an orbit in system perhaps?
  650. [08.08.2018 00:07:58] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Usually you find such interesting things in installations like this.
  651. [08.08.2018 00:07:59] NO-F-Saronsen: We should claim it.
  652. [08.08.2018 00:08:07] NO-F-Harold.Kane: This is... odd.
  653. [08.08.2018 00:08:10] NO-I-Premonition: No, this is... I think I know.
  654. [08.08.2018 00:08:11] O-|-Arachne[K]: Though even.
  655. [08.08.2018 00:08:32] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: To be honest, Ouroboros has a similar installation to Canberra, along with our main HQ, however, we are currently working on
  656. [08.08.2018 00:08:35] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: getting it up to snuff.
  657. [08.08.2018 00:08:39] NO-I-Premonition: We'll need Repentence, Save Yourself, and Alcor Squadron to handle this. Soon.
  658. [08.08.2018 00:08:57] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Serena-chan.
  659. [08.08.2018 00:09:10] O-|-Arachne[K]: I'm guessing... Not transports with those names.
  660. [08.08.2018 00:09:18] O-|-Arachne[K]: And... Yes?
  661. [08.08.2018 00:10:08] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Remind me to notify Hanamura-sensei to get the 22nd Maintenance Squadron to start work on the installation.
  662. [08.08.2018 00:10:21] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We'll need to make a jingle in the directions of the nice popes.
  663. [08.08.2018 00:10:22] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I'll have Harpy Squadron oversee it.
  664. [08.08.2018 00:10:23] O-|-Arachne[K]: Oh, yes.
  665. [08.08.2018 00:10:30] NO-F-Saronsen: I'll bring my Condor over.
  666. [08.08.2018 00:11:01] O-|-Arachne[K]: It seems to be losing stability.
  667. [08.08.2018 00:11:10] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: But yes, on the topic of supplies to Sigma-19, Whatever you can provide to us would be appreciated. If we require Fusion Diodes
  668. [08.08.2018 00:11:10] O-|-Arachne[K]: Rather quickly.
  669. [08.08.2018 00:11:33] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: we can simply have our shell company or one of our allies handle the logistics in Rheinland.
  670. [08.08.2018 00:11:49] NO-I-Premonition: You'll definitely need the diodes, all standard station-scale shielding uses that specific type.
  671. [08.08.2018 00:11:57] NO-I-Premonition: And you don't want to go without a shield out there.
  672. [08.08.2018 00:12:04] NO-F-Saronsen: I could hop in my transport and find some supplies for this thing if you'd like.
  673. [08.08.2018 00:12:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai, hai.
  674. [08.08.2018 00:12:23] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: I guess it would be best to leave you to your new discovery.
  675. [08.08.2018 00:12:29] NO-I-Premonition: If we're lucky, I'm wrong about this.
  676. [08.08.2018 00:12:29] NO-F-Saronsen: Taking off?
  677. [08.08.2018 00:12:30] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Come, Serena-chan.
  678. [08.08.2018 00:12:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hai.
  679. [08.08.2018 00:12:39] NO-F-Saronsen: Ah.
  680. [08.08.2018 00:12:41] NO-F-Saronsen: Fly safe, ladies.
  681. [08.08.2018 00:12:42] O-|-Arachne[K]: Cultist?
  682. [08.08.2018 00:12:49] NO-I-Premonition: That's what I expect.
  683. [08.08.2018 00:12:57] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Our schedule was slated to end at Rolex -0020.
  684. [08.08.2018 00:13:05] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: We'll be in touch.
  685. [08.08.2018 00:13:06] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Ja ne.
  686. [08.08.2018 00:13:25] NO-F-Saronsen: Is this a bad time to mention my weakness is Kusarian women?
  687. [08.08.2018 00:13:26] O-|-Arachne[K]: ...I'll let our tech head know about this.
  688. [08.08.2018 00:13:33] NO-F-Saronsen: Oh, still in range.
  689. [08.08.2018 00:13:34] O-|Mieko.Iekahara[HC]: Hehe.. maybe.
