[Sat 1:29:48 PM] undefined - Michelle:
heard ya

[Sat 1:29:55 PM] undefined - Veth:
all good

[Sat 1:30:16 PM] Din Strata - Veth:

[Sat 1:30:42 PM] undefined - Michelle:
admin skill and subdermal armor?

[Sat 1:30:51 PM] undefined - Jason G:
“administration skill & subdermal armor” ? heh

[Sat 1:30:56 PM] undefined - Veth:
Apparently my subdermal armor is administrated.

[Sat 1:31:15 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
11

[Sat 1:32:04 PM] undefined - Pat:
clearly it is what you need to survive office backstabbings and mismanagement.

[Sat 1:32:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
You could say he has a…

[Sat 1:32:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
thick skin

[Sat 1:33:54 PM] undefined - Kristian:
@#%@#%

[Sat 1:34:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
rimshot

[Sat 1:35:47 PM] undefined - Veth:
We should rob them first, that’ll show those pirates.

[Sat 1:36:36 PM] undefined - Veth:
Quick, prepare the combat crane!

[Sat 1:37:06 PM] undefined - Jen:
I’ll take pictures why you do that. Great advertising for the ship.

[Sat 1:38:55 PM] undefined - Rob:
We have plans?

[Sat 1:39:04 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
So, they’re hoping we’ll sit tight on the ship and not talk to anyone until we leave?

[Sat 1:39:12 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Cara will be managing things on the ship, unless there’s a good reason for her to be gathering intel, which isn’t one of her specialties lol

[Sat 1:39:19 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’m thinking of visiting some of the bars etc to pick up rumours.

[Sat 1:39:22 PM] undefined - Jason G:
the convoy captains know or have been made aware we’re escorting?

[Sat 1:39:33 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
Hey Dirk, I’ve heard they have great parties down on third.

[Sat 1:39:37 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk will go to the bar, of course.

[Sat 1:40:29 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I’m down.

[Sat 1:40:26 PM] undefined - Rob:
He can make sure Tomoe leaves the party with her own clothes this time.

[Sat 1:40:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so do we get to be like, armed here?

[Sat 1:40:56 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Let’s set up a quiet meeting to work out security details with the convoy.

[Sat 1:41:00 PM] undefined - Kristian:
perfect.

[Sat 1:41:08 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk slums it in the lowest of lower levels.

[Sat 1:41:24 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I’ll go with Yang, see if I can get any drunk intel from the locals.

[Sat 1:41:26 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
I think I’ll get a cosmo in the business district.

[Sat 1:41:44 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Cara Burton nods to Harlan

[Sat 1:41:43 PM] undefined - Rob:
Last time we were in Foxglove it turned out that everyone BUT us was armed. And shooting at us.

[Sat 1:41:47 PM] undefined - Kristian:
dressed in a fancy suit with a diplo vest, and if he thinks he can sneak his holdout weapons with him he will lol

[Sat 1:42:07 PM] undefined - Pat:
I get to bring my stunner, though?

[Sat 1:42:16 PM] undefined - Kristian:
guess he’ll be left to his wits and swingin’ dick then.

[Sat 1:42:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so the same but full of theatre?

[Sat 1:42:39 PM] undefined - Kristian:
longer than 2 inches? At least he’s still got his swinging dick.

[Sat 1:42:56 PM] undefined - Rob:
Because it’s under 2 inches?

[Sat 1:43:06 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
walked into that one

[Sat 1:43:09 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Daniel will scout the business end of the world - new business ops, any rumors of other pirate problems

[Sat 1:43:48 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’ll go check out some of the bars.

[Sat 1:43:55 PM] undefined - Pat:
not the same as dirk.

[Sat 1:44:09 PM] undefined - Pat:
Where would spacecrews end up?

[Sat 1:44:27 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’ll go for those.

[Sat 1:45:04 PM] undefined - Veth:
The fight is the fun part of the trip!

[Sat 1:45:10 PM] undefined - Michelle:
No. But always pays to advertise our services.

[Sat 1:45:14 PM] undefined - Veth:
like all disney rides.

[Sat 1:45:17 PM] undefined - Pat:
unless we find something that can handle a fight, probably not.

[Sat 1:45:19 PM] undefined - Rob:
I mean, that might be a bonus for some people. “Fly with Legitimate Salvage and experience real, live space combat!”

[Sat 1:45:27 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol

[Sat 1:45:43 PM] undefined - Veth:
Honestly…?

[Sat 1:45:44 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’m thinking cargo :P

[Sat 1:45:49 PM] undefined - Veth:
I bet Dirk could.

[Sat 1:46:07 PM] undefined - Rob:
In all seriousness, no, we wouldn’t want passengers on board during firefights.

[Sat 1:46:13 PM] undefined - Pat:
yeah, so something that can handle that :P Swiss cheese?

[Sat 1:46:18 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I’m sure we could find some conflict tourist adrenaline junkies…

[Sat 1:46:26 PM] undefined - Kristian:
eh, a few packs of SpaceRamen get damaged…no big

[Sat 1:46:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we should basically have a couple different types of contracts.

[Sat 1:46:35 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Cheese that needs to become swiss cheese.

[Sat 1:46:40 PM] undefined - Veth:
Spamen.

[Sat 1:46:41 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
I would strongly advise against bringing on cargo on passengers given our current mission. We don’t want to be losing either to stray shots, especially as we’re still building a reputation for ourselves.

[Sat 1:46:42 PM] undefined - Rob:
“Why does this cheese have 50mm diameter holes in it?”

[Sat 1:46:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
like people get a discount if they go “general freight” and we might have other stuff on board that results in getting shot

[Sat 1:46:53 PM] undefined - Kristian:
or they can pay a premium for like..service only

[Sat 1:47:24 PM] undefined - Pat:
We could buy some cargo that 1) is non-perishable, 2) doesn’t lose all its value if it is full of holes, and 3) that we actually can sell somewhere for a bit of profit, at least…

[Sat 1:47:39 PM] undefined - Pat:
if nothing else, because leaving with an empty cargo hold is a bit suspicious.

[Sat 1:47:54 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I think Cara was coming too?

[Sat 1:48:04 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Cara can come if she’s needed

[Sat 1:48:42 PM] undefined - Jason G:
invited to our ship, since it’s shiny and new

[Sat 1:49:02 PM] undefined - Jen:
Dorritos …a cargo hold full of Dorritos.

[Sat 1:49:30 PM] undefined - Veth:
Flamin’ hot shrapnel flavored Doritos.

[Sat 1:49:40 PM] undefined - Jason G:
a week you say… Aiden stays on the ship for most of that time and sciences

[Sat 1:49:46 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
11

[Sat 1:49:46 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
12

[Sat 1:50:02 PM] Din Strata - Veth:

[Sat 1:50:11 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
14

[Sat 1:50:16 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Din recruits us some wanted fugitives.

[Sat 1:50:27 PM] undefined - Veth:
wow, nice

[Sat 1:50:32 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Angelica grew up on these streets

[Sat 1:50:49 PM] undefined - Rob:
Angelica has a second career as a crime lord on these streets.

[Sat 1:51:06 PM] undefined - Jason G:
or this is her second career

[Sat 1:51:09 PM] undefined - Stig:
Staying on the ship reading Combat Maneuvers Weekly

[Sat 1:51:08 PM] undefined - Rob:
Didn’t have anything in mind. I didn’t realize Streetwise would work for hanging out and picking up info…

[Sat 1:51:23 PM] undefined - Rob:
Roland will stay with the ship, I guess, just in case.

[Sat 1:51:34 PM] undefined - Jen:
besties with the local mafia

[Sat 1:51:35 PM] undefined - Rob:
I think we decided that last session.

[Sat 1:51:54 PM] undefined - Rob:
We may need to allow them shore leave at some point. :P

[Sat 1:52:05 PM] undefined - Pat:
I was thinking of bringing one along as an escort… :P

[Sat 1:52:21 PM] undefined - Rob:
Besides, we’ll probably need their help to dig Din and Dirk out of trouble…

[Sat 1:53:13 PM] undefined - Veth:
Clearly it’s what we do.

[Sat 1:53:58 PM] undefined - Jason G:
the beer comes out of a pressure regulator in the wall plumbing

[Sat 1:54:15 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk looks like a copy, Din looks like an informant

[Sat 1:54:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
*cop

[Sat 1:54:56 PM] undefined - Stig:
Popular Peoples’ Front of Foxglove?

[Sat 1:55:06 PM] undefined - Veth:
THIS is PNN.

[Sat 1:55:26 PM] undefined - Michelle:
those posers? snort It’s the Peoples’ Popular Front of Foxglove.

[Sat 1:55:48 PM] undefined - Jason G:
the lower you go, the more vids are tuned to fox and newsmax

[Sat 1:55:55 PM] undefined - Pat:
Foxglove’s popular front!

[Sat 1:55:57 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol

[Sat 1:57:24 PM] undefined - Jason G:
is our arrival part of the scuttlebutt?

[Sat 1:57:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
Foxglove Underground Criminal Keepers Enlightening Random Spacers.

[Sat 1:57:45 PM] undefined - Michelle:
nice one

[Sat 1:57:51 PM] undefined - Veth:
:)

[Sat 1:57:57 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I’m hearing smuggling is lucrative

[Sat 1:58:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk will see if he can solicit if there are any big players in that realm

[Sat 1:58:40 PM] undefined - Kristian:
people who might want work done, or goods moved

[Sat 1:59:29 PM] undefined - Veth:
Gotta make sure they won’t mind a few bullets in the shipment.

[Sat 1:59:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
exactly..shady business asks less questions

[Sat 2:00:07 PM] undefined - Kristian:
also buys Din some drinks and has a heart to heart like, I know I fucked you over but thanks for being a bro.

[Sat 2:00:50 PM] undefined - Veth:
These are the crewers, we need to find the crewers light.

[Sat 2:01:07 PM] undefined - Pat:
only this one company, then.

[Sat 2:02:01 PM] undefined - Pat:
anyone who has been on a ship that’s been hit? Before they started disappearing, I mean?

[Sat 2:02:51 PM] undefined - Veth:
Uh oh.. his name is Buck.. that means he likes to… Whittle.

[Sat 2:02:58 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’ll buy him a drink or something and try to get the story from him. What happened, what did they see etc.

[Sat 2:03:04 PM] undefined - Jason G:
or he Rogers a lot

[Sat 2:03:22 PM] undefined - Veth:
Fair

[Sat 2:05:31 PM] undefined - Pat:
did it seem like they knew what they were looking for? As in, did they have an idea what the cargo was?

[Sat 2:06:28 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I wonder if it pretty much was a business transaction. complicit leadership and entire crews flipping eventually?

[Sat 2:08:31 PM] undefined - Kristian:
“sup d00d”

[Sat 2:09:07 PM] undefined - Jason G:
we’re going to have a sit down meal with him every station we dock at

[Sat 2:09:08 PM] undefined - Veth:
rickroll.gif

[Sat 2:09:39 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Probably. Daniel’s basically contacting other brokers or their equivalents in the business areas. But if we’re not hearing about other piracy, that’s probably all he’d come up with too.

[Sat 2:10:16 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
13

[Sat 2:11:54 PM] undefined - Michelle:
smart people

[Sat 2:12:07 PM] undefined - Pat:
we’re not actually mentioning that, are we? I thought that was supposed to be sort of hush hush.

[Sat 2:12:11 PM] undefined - Veth:
this is dirk’s fault.

[Sat 2:12:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
isn’t everyting?

[Sat 2:12:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
indeed

[Sat 2:12:39 PM] undefined - Jason G:
do commercial flights have to register their ‘flight plans’ ahead of time?

[Sat 2:12:49 PM] undefined - Jen:
do we want to ask davyish about anything? Maybe we start underground smuggling.

[Sat 2:13:32 PM] undefined - Michelle:
We’re going rogue already? lol

[Sat 2:13:42 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I don’t think we’re ready to be the Voice of the People quite yet

[Sat 2:13:52 PM] undefined - Rob:
Wouldn’t it be bad business to lie to your customers about things like whether their cargo might be in danger? Seems like that would hurt business later.

[Sat 2:14:10 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk does relay that we could get into some smuggling if we need to fill the hold

[Sat 2:14:11 PM] undefined - Jason G:
when we break bad, it will be much bigger

[Sat 2:14:20 PM] undefined - Pat:
we should at least stay legit until we are no longer newsworthy…

[Sat 2:14:26 PM] undefined - Jason G:
not some territorial dispute

[Sat 2:14:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
maybe we can find some “victimless” smuggling. No human trafficing/drugs/etc

[Sat 2:14:40 PM] undefined - Jen:
save it for the big bang then.

[Sat 2:14:41 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol

[Sat 2:15:06 PM] undefined - Jen:
she’ll file the contact.

[Sat 2:16:19 PM] undefined - Michelle:
They know how much missiles cost, right?

[Sat 2:16:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
lol

[Sat 2:16:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
yes, but he thinks missiles are for pussies…boarding parties are for real men.

[Sat 2:16:45 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Welcome aboard, Captain

[Sat 2:16:56 PM] undefined - Veth:
lol

[Sat 2:17:25 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
We’re proud of her.

[Sat 2:17:52 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Would you like the nickel tour before we get down to business?

[Sat 2:18:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
9

[Sat 2:18:41 PM] undefined - Jason G:
marines onboard as well lol

[Sat 2:19:07 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Could I make a Tactics: Naval roll re: some of the possible approaches for an escort like this?

[Sat 2:20:07 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan introduces the crew and offers a seat at the table before sitting down and bringing up tactical displays for discussions.

[Sat 2:20:27 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Fair enough

[Sat 2:21:46 PM] undefined - Jason G:
tactics such as jump timing, positioning, secure codes and channels, contingency plans based on situations, etc…

[Sat 2:22:11 PM] undefined - Pat:
is there a way we can tightbeam false coordinates?

[Sat 2:22:39 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Id like for us to beam the coords right before, we calculate them and transmit at the last moment

[Sat 2:23:22 PM] undefined - Pat:
could we calculate a couple of coordinates, then tightbeam the wrong one? And inform only the captain of each ship what the real ones are?

[Sat 2:23:40 PM] undefined - Pat:
and ensure that that information is handed over in person.

[Sat 2:24:13 PM] undefined - Jason G:
there are two or three ships?

[Sat 2:24:31 PM] undefined - Veth:
there are 4 lights.

[Sat 2:24:36 PM] undefined - Jason G:
will we have a squad of marines on each to repel boarders?

[Sat 2:25:37 PM] undefined - Jason G:
based on reports, how many people boarded when they pirated

[Sat 2:25:40 PM] undefined - Jason G:
ok

[Sat 2:26:40 PM] undefined - Jason G:
can those ships ingress from multiple spots or do they have to breach an airlock and come in one place?

[Sat 2:26:41 PM] undefined - Pat:
so we should plan for how to handle hostile boarders. Prevent them from accessing systems etc. Just in case.

[Sat 2:27:47 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I meant more to ask if they had smaller breaching/landing craft

[Sat 2:27:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
heh. Can Calliope scan their system code and look for backdoors there like with the military ones? :P Kind of concerning the pirates are able to take the whole ship.

[Sat 2:29:45 PM] undefined - Veth:
“Hey it’s that ugly guy who was hit by a famous person!”

[Sat 2:29:46 PM] undefined - Pat:
I have 2 in deception :P

[Sat 2:29:53 PM] undefined - Jason G:
dirk comes in with a fake beard

[Sat 2:29:56 PM] undefined - Jen:
Let’s get disguises

[Sat 2:29:59 PM] undefined - Rob:
Tomoe would still look weird with a fake mustache.

[Sat 2:30:08 PM] undefined - Michelle:
rubber noses and glasses for everyone!

[Sat 2:30:25 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I did buy a disguise kit

[Sat 2:30:31 PM] undefined - Pat:
so does Tomoe

[Sat 2:30:33 PM] undefined - Jason G:
“i like this ship, is very niice”

[Sat 2:30:45 PM] undefined - Kristian:
lol fake moustaches for everyone

[Sat 2:30:54 PM] undefined - Jen:
I’m so putting a disguise on and visiting ships

[Sat 2:30:59 PM] undefined - Rob:
Isn’t Tomoe the most famous person in our crew, though?

[Sat 2:31:08 PM] undefined - Jason G:
mine is 1 +4

[Sat 2:31:13 PM] undefined - Jason G:
er +3

[Sat 2:31:19 PM] undefined - Pat:
there’s the doctor…

[Sat 2:31:50 PM] undefined - Michelle:
my Soc is only 10. pitiful

[Sat 2:32:08 PM] undefined - Veth:
…

[Sat 2:32:22 PM] undefined - Rob:
My Soc is 5…

[Sat 2:32:25 PM] undefined - Jason G:
we only need to make the connection… the computer work can be remote

[Sat 2:32:33 PM] undefined - Jen:
I’m Norman the spaceship custodian.

[Sat 2:32:55 PM] undefined - Michelle:
these are freighters, so shouldn’t be too complex

[Sat 2:33:06 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
11

[Sat 2:33:06 PM] undefined - Jason G:
lol, we’re really doing this…

[Sat 2:33:06 PM] undefined - Pat:
can I help with that?

[Sat 2:33:10 PM] undefined - Pat:
ooor, not needed.

[Sat 2:33:49 PM] undefined - Veth:
Unibrow.

[Sat 2:34:03 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Nice.

[Sat 2:34:31 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
12

[Sat 2:34:50 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
12

[Sat 2:34:58 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
11

[Sat 2:35:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
play chess with Calipoe

[Sat 2:35:32 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Jawing with the marines

[Sat 2:35:45 PM] undefined - Kristian:
or whoever the fuck she is… :/

[Sat 2:35:44 PM] undefined - Jason G:
assisting Angelica

[Sat 2:36:06 PM] undefined - Rob:
Giving the ship/engines an inspection so he can stay out of the way.

[Sat 2:36:15 PM] undefined - Jason G:
on all three?

[Sat 2:36:33 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
8

[Sat 2:36:57 PM] undefined - Jason G:
at least I didn’t hose it all up

[Sat 2:38:39 PM] undefined - Jason G:
can we tall how that package got updated, and then can we lock that mechanism out?

[Sat 2:38:45 PM] undefined - Pat:
look for reverse shells elsewhere :P

[Sat 2:39:13 PM] undefined - Jason G:
a config change

[Sat 2:39:32 PM] undefined - Veth:
Registry entry

[Sat 2:40:04 PM] undefined - Jen:
can we assume the Nina was listening to something they shouldn’t have been?

[Sat 2:40:07 PM] undefined - Jason G:
are backups taken? can we look back in time?

[Sat 2:40:22 PM] undefined - Pat:
so definitely go for the beaming false coordinates, then?

[Sat 2:40:42 PM] undefined - Pat:
or transmitting something without the crew being aware of it…

[Sat 2:40:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
probably a good idea on the two sets of coords.

[Sat 2:41:00 PM] undefined - Veth:
brb

[Sat 2:41:07 PM] undefined - Jason G:
alrighty then.. hand-delivered and encrypted jump coords it is..

[Sat 2:41:53 PM] undefined - Pat:
is there a way we could get some listening drone or anything that we can send to the false coordinates?

[Sat 2:42:08 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I mean, we could literally have a corpsman signal guy on board with the coords to see it done

[Sat 2:42:11 PM] undefined - Stig:
Sounds like a good idea

[Sat 2:42:34 PM] undefined - Stig:
who will spacewalk with semaphore flags? :)

[Sat 2:43:27 PM] undefined - Pat:
and involving too many people.

[Sat 2:43:30 PM] undefined - Jason G:
is the Peach doing anything this week?

[Sat 2:43:37 PM] undefined - Jason G:
LD

[Sat 2:43:39 PM] undefined - Jason G:
:D

[Sat 2:43:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Peach is also not IBI

[Sat 2:43:47 PM] undefined - Pat:
hm, can’t we just send someone over without revealing our hands yet?

[Sat 2:43:59 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so it’s kinda just there for occasional plausible deniability support

[Sat 2:44:05 PM] undefined - Kristian:
aka mking Dirk rich on the side

[Sat 2:44:06 PM] undefined - Pat:
to the ships, with the codes. In disguise.

[Sat 2:44:31 PM] undefined - Pat:
yeah, send them in civilian clothing. But that will still limit the number of people who know a lot.

[Sat 2:44:39 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Are they coming back before the jump?

[Sat 2:44:51 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’d say no, let them stay there, and give the coordinates right before the jump.

[Sat 2:45:07 PM] undefined - Pat:
The idea was to let our guys have the codes until right before the jump.

[Sat 2:45:13 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Then we’re back to solo peeps dealing with boarders in a worst case

[Sat 2:45:25 PM] undefined - Jason G:
yes, but can we time-limit the codes… make sure the token only works just prior to the jump

[Sat 2:45:38 PM] undefined - Pat:
true. But as long as only the captains are in on it, it limits the number of people who can leak.

[Sat 2:46:11 PM] undefined - Jason G:
and make sure the Captains know that only the captains know… let the Captain decide if they want the marine

[Sat 2:46:36 PM] undefined - Pat:
can we set up anything that will notice if there are transmissions right before jump?

[Sat 2:46:41 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I don’t want to piss the captain off on his own ship. make it his decision

[Sat 2:46:54 PM] undefined - Jason G:
his/her

[Sat 2:47:55 PM] undefined - Jason G:
are these private ships contracted to the company or company ships?

[Sat 2:48:14 PM] undefined - Jason G:
ok, so they do what Consolidated says

[Sat 2:49:19 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I think monitoring like pat said is great. and let the Captains decide if they want a “security representative” on their bridge

[Sat 2:50:07 PM] undefined - Jason G:
anyone else?

[Sat 2:50:16 PM] undefined - Jason G:
opinions?

[Sat 2:50:36 PM] undefined - Jen:
I agree with Pat’s plan

[Sat 2:50:45 PM] undefined - Veth:
Yeah, Pat’s plan seems sound.

[Sat 2:51:35 PM] undefined - Pat:
yeah, I think that’s a good idea.

[Sat 2:52:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
sounds about right.

[Sat 2:53:11 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
We can leave ahead of time and jump from further out, to the same location they are, yes?

[Sat 2:53:17 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’d say let’s lie low.

[Sat 2:53:33 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Sure, let’s try subtlety :)

[Sat 2:53:33 PM] undefined - Pat:
If we want to confront the pirates, we would just have transmitted the coordinates, after all.

[Sat 2:53:35 PM] undefined - Jen:
Yeah, I don’t think we need a parade

[Sat 2:53:58 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
