It might answer why someone tried to kill us -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:09 PM] undefined - Kristian: alien walkie-talkie set -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:13 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: maybe ee shouldn't, since it seems they cleared you of it? -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:22 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle: ... What do they mean by these "vaults"? *looks at the higher ups in the room* -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:30 PM] undefined - Jason G: my first thought is that device we got from the little cave? does that timeline fit? -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:36 PM] undefined - Pat: nope -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:38 PM] undefined - Jason G: or does this rpe-date the game maybe? -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:47 PM] undefined - Pat: this must have happened before the Hamster was shot down. -------------------------- [Sat 3:08:55 PM] undefined - Pat: so before we started the game. -------------------------- [Sat 3:09:08 PM] undefined - Rob: It happened before the game started. It's what triggered the ambush. -------------------------- [Sat 3:09:14 PM] undefined - Pat: the theft they talk about does. -------------------------- [Sat 3:09:26 PM] undefined - Michelle: Would Aiden have any idea why they'd accuse him of stealing something from one of those vaults? -------------------------- [Sat 3:09:36 PM] undefined - Pat: they mention an artifact being stolen. That's not our little artifact. -------------------------- [Sat 3:10:20 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: Cara is the artifact!? -------------------------- [Sat 3:10:29 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: But that _does_ mean that they can intercept ships during a jump. -------------------------- [Sat 3:10:39 PM] undefined - Rob: So the timing of it all could've made him a likely suspect to them. -------------------------- [Sat 3:10:41 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: And likely that they have instant communications. -------------------------- [Sat 3:10:56 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: Yes, they did it to us, remember? the graviitic intercept -------------------------- [Sat 3:11:11 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: and someone on Dauntless REALLY do not like Jack -------------------------- [Sat 3:11:37 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian: We need to get with Jack as soon as we can. -------------------------- [Sat 3:11:37 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: The "and now he has a destroyer" comment at the end -------------------------- [Sat 3:11:44 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian: For now not sure there's much we can do with this. -------------------------- [Sat 3:11:44 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Also, the dates of the messages indicate that they have instant communications. -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:00 PM] undefined - Jason G: Dirk represented me against some nasty folks too... people that wanted my work -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:12 PM] undefined - Kristian: SpaceAOLOnline -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:10 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: That's ... oh. Right. -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:33 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: Instant comms is really a game changer -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:55 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: (to Julian) Yeah, that was one of the messages that says to me, at least, that someone wanted to go after Aidan, and was looking for an excuse. -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:58 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: I will assume that this has either high cost or low bandwidth or both. -------------------------- [Sat 3:12:58 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob: So we think that... whomever was behind Dauntless ambushing us had access to the same alien tech that we discovered won on the planet here, right? Or similar tech. -------------------------- [Sat 3:13:36 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle: Daniel Eckhart scratches his head -------------------------- [Sat 3:14:07 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: Aiden Harlan nods to Julian -------------------------- [Sat 3:14:12 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Well, if they have technology that can teleport _people_... -------------------------- [Sat 3:14:15 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle: They blew up our ship... If these artifacts are such a big deal, why risk destroying it? -------------------------- [Sat 3:14:24 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: This... 'quant' is likely very limited -------------------------- [Sat 3:14:57 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Or maybe they found some alien communications equipment? -------------------------- [Sat 3:15:03 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: Assume 'quant' is usable sets of quantum entangled particles? -------------------------- [Sat 3:15:08 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob: And we were ambushed because they thought Aiden stole some of it. And now we actually have found remnants of that alien civilization. Wouldn't it stand to reason that someone is now going to be gunning for us again? -------------------------- [Sat 3:15:31 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: Aiden Harlan nods -------------------------- [Sat 3:15:53 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: If they know we found it, and the alien stuff is what they actually use, yeah, probably. -------------------------- [Sat 3:16:15 PM] undefined - Pat: they might not know what the government has... -------------------------- [Sat 3:16:29 PM] undefined - Rob: So either they haven't told the government or the government's trying not to be overt about things. Or at least not showing themselves yet. -------------------------- [Sat 3:17:31 PM] Din Strata - Veth: They've made a huge mistake picking a fight with us. -------------------------- [Sat 3:17:39 PM] undefined - Pat: we know that Dauntless tried to kill us, at least. -------------------------- [Sat 3:17:39 PM] undefined - Rob: We travel with Drik. Of course we have the worst luck imaginable. -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:04 PM] undefined - Jason G: sorry, what was halsey's first name? -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:12 PM] undefined - Pat: and then the kill order was rescinded. -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:36 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: Most of their speculation against was before we we recovered the ship. By the time we ran into Kamiko I wonder if they'd already crossed us off their suspect list -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:38 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob: We have one ship, Din. If they really want to kill us they can throw enough at us. -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:47 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: but now.... now we're implicated again -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:55 PM] undefined - Stig: and Dauntless responded with "but I wanna..." -------------------------- [Sat 3:18:56 PM] undefined - Michelle: Sorry if I missed it from anyone else, but does the last message indicate that ALL of the WDF ships have this instant communication? -------------------------- [Sat 3:19:49 PM] undefined - Pat: unless those logs are forged, I'd say it's fairly certain they all have it. Or had it. -------------------------- [Sat 3:19:50 PM] undefined - Michelle: So it's more than just two -------------------------- [Sat 3:20:03 PM] undefined - Pat: is there a list of the ships that were stolen? -------------------------- [Sat 3:20:20 PM] undefined - Pat: I check the list against those names. -------------------------- [Sat 3:20:48 PM] undefined - Pat: ok, do we have any information on Saber and Hornet? -------------------------- [Sat 3:21:00 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: and they ordered endeavor to self destruct rather than lose the device -------------------------- [Sat 3:21:14 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: or they ordered the device to self destruct -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:00 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: I read it as an instruction to the comms device, which the new captain said had melted -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:01 PM] undefined - Pat: Sierra? -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:04 PM] undefined - Pat: was stolen? -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:17 PM] undefined - Pat: aaaaah -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:20 PM] undefined - Kristian: Yo don't lump me in with this. Dirk's exes are all perfectly normal. -------------------------- [Sat 3:22:58 PM] undefined - Michelle: Daniel only flirted with one of Jack's exes. heh -------------------------- [Sat 3:23:44 PM] undefined - Pat: wait, was Dauntless around when the ships were stolen? -------------------------- [Sat 3:24:10 PM] undefined - Stig: logs say Dauntless was affected, but was in dock -------------------------- [Sat 3:24:15 PM] undefined - Pat: yeah -------------------------- [Sat 3:24:41 PM] undefined - Pat: Nah, I meant the message in the last batch. -------------------------- [Sat 3:25:05 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: So, the Dauntless, they were hit by the virus as well. -------------------------- [Sat 3:25:25 PM] undefined - Pat: and the timestamps show that it was in communications with the others while it happened. -------------------------- [Sat 3:25:33 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: But it wasn't in orbit. -------------------------- [Sat 3:26:13 PM] undefined - Jason G: Aiden takes this and a quick context message and a plea to not overreact without letting us know, and bundles it in about 50 layers of mil+ grade crypto and sends this off to Jack with the envelope header "eyes only... no really" -------------------------- [Sat 3:26:29 PM] undefined - Pat: that _could_ suggest good planning rather than instant communcations. -------------------------- [Sat 3:26:47 PM] undefined - Debinani: k -------------------------- [Sat 3:26:42 PM] undefined - Pat: the message logs show instant communcations, though. More or less. -------------------------- [Sat 3:27:39 PM] undefined - Jason G: but we can't see actual nanosecond timestamps, can we? -------------------------- [Sat 3:27:52 PM] undefined - Pat: dates are still sufficient -------------------------- [Sat 3:27:52 PM] undefined - Jason G: oh nice -------------------------- [Sat 3:28:14 PM] undefined - Pat: it's all the same day, so... -------------------------- [Sat 3:28:59 PM] undefined - Michelle: So either Endeavor sent T7 the warning and they transmitted it out, or T7 was in system with us at the time and got the warning directly... -------------------------- [Sat 3:29:16 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: So, if those logs aren't faked, they have instant communications, and the attack on the Hamster was not done by a rogue faction. -------------------------- [Sat 3:29:36 PM] undefined - Michelle: I guess - if their AI figured out why too. hehe -------------------------- [Sat 3:29:41 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Dauntless got orders to go after us. And they were able to yank us out of our jump. -------------------------- [Sat 3:30:26 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Also, *looks at Cara* Would your ex have known about Demeter? -------------------------- [Sat 3:30:44 PM] undefined - Kristian: Cara stares blankly at the wall -------------------------- [Sat 3:31:12 PM] undefined - Pat: That we were there, I mean -------------------------- [Sat 3:31:22 PM] undefined - Pat: right. That's what I meant. -------------------------- [Sat 3:31:58 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob: Might not be a rogue faction but it could be a shadow faction. I wouldn't presume that everyone, even at the command level, is a part of it. -------------------------- [Sat 3:32:18 PM] undefined - Veth: Nah, she fired the shot! -------------------------- [Sat 3:32:27 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: But Dauntless got an order to go after us. -------------------------- [Sat 3:32:48 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: As did Endeavor. -------------------------- [Sat 3:33:03 PM] undefined - Jason G: do you still have portraits of all these people? -------------------------- [Sat 3:33:12 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G: felicity, gatsby, etc... -------------------------- [Sat 3:33:12 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob: Yeah. Assume the commander, at the least, of any of the ships that have QE communications are part of it. -------------------------- [Sat 3:35:45 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Oooooh, right. So, Felicity _could_ have forged this and sent it to us, to trick us into join them against Whistler, sort of. -------------------------- [Sat 3:36:09 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat: Or it is real, and she's right, and they're not exactly our friends. -------------------------- [Sat 3:36:44 PM] undefined - Pat: well, yeah... -------------------------- [Sat 3:37:03 PM] Julian Felix - Stig: What can we verify? -------------------------- [Sat 3:37:07 PM] undefined - Rob: If it's faked the purpose probably isn't to get us to join them.
