sound check , please?
[Sat 2:30:23 PM] undefined - Kristian:

[Sat 2:30:21 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Heard ya
[Sat 2:31:06 PM] undefined - Pat:
I didn’t

[Sat 2:31:28 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Those still are some goofy dice
[Sat 2:31:49 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Reminds me of playing Hero Quest.

[Sat 2:32:23 PM] undefined - Rob:
The hell was that?
[Sat 2:32:33 PM] undefined - Michelle:
I turned my volume up. Thank you for deafening me
[Sat 2:32:36 PM] undefined - Kristian:
it sounded like a duck playing sad trombone.
[Sat 2:32:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
was what?
[Sat 2:32:48 PM] undefined - Rob:
I mean the trumpeting sound before the die roll.
[Sat 2:32:49 PM] undefined - Pat:
another sound check from Deb, please?
[Sat 2:33:30 PM] undefined - Rob:
You are audible.
[Sat 2:33:32 PM] undefined - Pat:
hmm, is he very faint?
[Sat 2:33:35 PM] undefined - Jason G:
very low
[Sat 2:33:40 PM] undefined - Rob:
Somewhat?
[Sat 2:33:47 PM] undefined - Kristian:
yeah it’s pretty low and headset is on max
[Sat 2:33:48 PM] undefined - Pat:
can barely hear you
[Sat 2:33:51 PM] undefined - Stig:
sounds good
[Sat 2:33:55 PM] undefined - Rob:
About the same. Sounds like you’re far away from the mic.
[Sat 2:34:04 PM] undefined - Kristian:
enunciate enunciate, blagarglbablharble
[Sat 2:34:04 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:

[Sat 2:34:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
tolerable if my children dont’ start yelling.
[Sat 2:34:16 PM] undefined - Rob:
About the same. Maybe it’s me?
[Sat 2:34:23 PM] undefined - Pat:
still low.
[Sat 2:34:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
it sounds like you’re whispering sweet nothings.
[Sat 2:34:27 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Its unchanged
[Sat 2:34:39 PM] undefined - Pat:
but the trumpet fairly loud.
[Sat 2:34:43 PM] undefined - Pat:
better
[Sat 2:34:45 PM] undefined - Jason G:
you sure the mic isn’t a different mic?
[Sat 2:34:49 PM] undefined - Kristian:
mas
[Sat 2:34:45 PM] undefined - Rob:
Better.
[Sat 2:37:47 PM] undefined - Kristian:

[Sat 2:37:57 PM] undefined - Stig:
I sense bias… :)
[Sat 2:38:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
obviously Dirk needs to do some talking head counterslander
[Sat 2:38:20 PM] undefined - Michelle:
We partied hard
[Sat 2:38:29 PM] undefined - Stig:
he needs a Head Counterslanderer
[Sat 2:38:41 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Was that Fox Galactic?
[Sat 2:38:42 PM] undefined - Pat:
so we have some time for repairs and stuff, then.
[Sat 2:39:18 PM] undefined - Jason G:

Do another private roll so someone can get a screenshot?
[Sat 2:42:01 PM] undefined - Michelle:

[Sat 2:42:29 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I saw Poor but no dice.
[Sat 2:43:30 PM] undefined - Rob:
Huh… we won’t through a combat situation of some sort and Daniel didn’t get injured.
[Sat 2:43:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
spaceship combat
[Sat 2:43:42 PM] undefined - Michelle:
woohoo!
[Sat 2:44:16 PM] undefined - Rob:
The Reapers show up.
[Sat 2:45:58 PM] undefined - Rob:
We let Dirk try it first.
[Sat 2:46:56 PM] undefined - Kristian:
if this is a Rick Roll…
[Sat 2:47:05 PM] undefined - Rob:
I’m worried that it’s Yang’s wang.
[Sat 2:47:06 PM] undefined - Jason G:

[Sat 2:47:15 PM] undefined - Jason G:
how do we talk IC?

[Sat 2:47:35 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:

[Sat 2:47:36 PM] undefined - Pat:

/ic works, at least.

sorry am late
[Sat 2:49:23 PM] undefined - Rob:
Is he at SDCC?
[Sat 2:49:40 PM] undefined - Rob:
We’ve already thrown Din on the evil altar.
[Sat 2:50:09 PM] undefined - Rob:
Should… we be seeing anything?
[Sat 2:50:20 PM] undefined - Rob:
Okay.
[Sat 2:50:42 PM] undefined - Rob:
Sorry. I thought she said we should see it and was going to show it to us.
[Sat 2:50:55 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Well let’s have it, can’t let us be too happy.
[Sat 2:50:58 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Let’s have a listen then
[Sat 2:51:42 PM] undefined - Pat:
I suspect a lot of us can guess?
[Sat 2:52:15 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang snickers

[Sat 2:54:34 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Aiden! What did you do??
[Sat 2:54:35 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Authorized gravitic intercept…
[Sat 2:54:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
was it someone’s heart?
[Sat 2:54:41 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
so that was them
[Sat 2:55:03 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Halsey…hrm
[Sat 2:56:21 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Stop wasting quant?
[Sat 2:56:32 PM] undefined - Jason G:
is that fuel or do we know?
[Sat 2:56:44 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
So they lost something from a vault, suspected Aiden, and it was worth killing him and the ship he was on.
[Sat 2:56:48 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
It almost feels like it’s something personal.
[Sat 2:56:55 PM] undefined - Kristian:

Realtime quantum messaging? and it sounds like it’s a commodity
[Sat 3:00:01 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt rubs chin
[Sat 3:00:19 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Aiden is off somewhere else for the next 30 minutes in distracted science squirrel mode
[Sat 3:00:36 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Do we have any idea at all who’s in charge of Dauntless? Is it someone who knows Aidan?
[Sat 3:00:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Looks like Halsey might know.
[Sat 3:01:26 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Also looks like artifacts are not the big secret some people think they are.
[Sat 3:01:38 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
It’s just that it almost feels like Dauntless has something against Aidan, like they’re looking for an excuse to go after you looks at Aidan
[Sat 3:01:53 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
I’m not saying this isn’t legitimate but can anyone think of a way to verify the legitimacy of it?
[Sat 3:02:13 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan snaps back to reality for a moment
[Sat 3:02:24 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
wait.. what artifact?
[Sat 3:02:25 PM] undefined - Rob:
Yeah, that’s what I figured.
[Sat 3:02:29 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen looks at Cara.
[Sat 3:02:37 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Does it sound genuine?
[Sat 3:02:52 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Did she usually call you Pookie?
[Sat 3:03:00 PM] undefined - Pat:
that’s rapport?

[Sat 3:04:38 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan looks over to Cara
[Sat 3:04:45 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
I mean, does the message sound like her?
[Sat 3:04:46 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
She seems… honest
[Sat 3:05:08 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Or someone fed her this
[Sat 3:05:35 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Why, though?
[Sat 3:05:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Or perhaps even if she didn’t, someone else put stuff in front of her betting it would get back to you.
[Sat 3:05:52 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
If not, then Endeavor might have had FTL communications.
[Sat 3:06:03 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Hard to know anything these days.
[Sat 3:06:10 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
If I had a guess, to drive a wedge between us and their enemies.
[Sat 3:06:19 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Easier just to assume both are true until we know better.
[Sat 3:06:22 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
assuming it isn’t on the level
[Sat 3:06:27 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
You mean the enemies whose mercenaries we just shot at?
[Sat 3:06:52 PM] undefined - Pat:
technically…
[Sat 3:06:56 PM] undefined - Jason G:
does Aiden have any idea what this artifact is? the first one mentioned where he is implicated?
[Sat 3:07:08 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Maybe we should… cautiously see what we can find out about an artifact theft. 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. We’d catch on eventually if we did.
[Sat 3:37:09 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Hm.. kinda weird they want to only surrender to you.
[Sat 3:37:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I’ll head down. See if you can find out why they didn’t leave with their friends. See if it passes the sniff test.
[Sat 3:37:16 PM] undefined - Rob:
That was meant to be IC. Bah.
[Sat 3:37:51 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
You sure you should?
[Sat 3:38:11 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
If Swann’s there?
[Sat 3:38:26 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Seems a bit odd that a couple of guys were left behind and no one noticed.
[Sat 3:39:01 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
And that they want to surrender, but only to a specific person…
[Sat 3:39:01 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
It’s most certainly either a trap, or they know something they think I would know.
[Sat 3:39:07 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
They eloped?
[Sat 3:39:17 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
This seems like a bad idea.
[Sat 3:39:26 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
When has that ever stopped us?
[Sat 3:39:34 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
True that.
[Sat 3:39:38 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
No way to find out what it’s all about unless we go down there, though.
[Sat 3:39:51 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
It is certainly risky, I’d like to know more about the reward.
[Sat 3:40:31 PM] undefined - Kristian:
does that sound right
[Sat 3:40:28 PM] undefined - Rob:
Did the Free Corps even engage in any form of combat on the ground?
[Sat 3:40:36 PM] undefined - Kristian:
with the laws of merc combat? lol
[Sat 3:40:33 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Really? Admin and contract reasons?
[Sat 3:40:34 PM] undefined - Jason G:
GM is pulling at my old character sheet’s curiosity flaw
[Sat 3:40:41 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Can they send a copy of the contract?
[Sat 3:40:48 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
I’d really like to see it.
[Sat 3:41:05 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Tomoe… if they have a copy I’m willing to bet it’s faked. I’m not convinced they’re even Free Corps.
[Sat 3:41:25 PM] undefined - Veth:
Tomoe is the evil universe version of DIRK. A lawyer that actually looks at contracts.
[Sat 3:41:26 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
yeah, I’d still like to see it.
[Sat 3:41:40 PM] undefined - Rob:
And with ethics?
[Sat 3:41:50 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I’m not convinced either. Let’s take any precautions.
[Sat 3:41:54 PM] undefined - Veth:
I dunno, she killed a LOT of people.
[Sat 3:42:00 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Hey, is the standard contract available on the net?
[Sat 3:42:14 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’ll take a look at it.
[Sat 3:42:14 PM] undefined - Jason G:
did the outpost have like a jail or drunk tank or something?
[Sat 3:42:22 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
5
[Sat 3:42:57 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Does that need to be presented to the commander? Or just demanded by?
[Sat 3:43:02 PM] undefined - Kristian:
ooc…
[Sat 3:43:02 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
It actually checks out if they have the standard contract.
[Sat 3:43:04 PM] undefined - Jason G:
technically that would be Cara though? so… I am wary
[Sat 3:43:06 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Look here.
[Sat 3:43:19 PM] undefined - Jason G:
ok lol
[Sat 3:43:19 PM] undefined - Veth:
Do they have to do it in person?
[Sat 3:43:24 PM] undefined - Rob:
She’s out buying potions.
[Sat 3:43:28 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen puts the relevant clauses up on the big screen.
[Sat 3:43:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
time to pull out Aiden’s body double. Din
[Sat 3:43:38 PM] undefined - Kristian:
not like they know the difference.
[Sat 3:43:56 PM] undefined - Kristian:
…note to self, Swann checks the bootyhole :/
[Sat 3:43:54 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
check their molars? Just kidding, on our way
[Sat 3:43:56 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
We could just get them on comms and say we accept.
[Sat 3:44:04 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I doubt they HAVE to surrender in person.
[Sat 3:44:21 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Where’s your sense of adventure, Din?
[Sat 3:44:22 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Maybe they want to defect instead…?
[Sat 3:44:29 PM] undefined - Veth:
Din can survive it! He can survive anything! As long as it’s an explosion!
[Sat 3:44:41 PM] undefined - Rob:
Or a car.
[Sat 3:44:49 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Let them surrender, just don’t let them join our crew.
[Sat 3:44:53 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
or maybe they want us all off the ship…
[Sat 3:44:55 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
We don’t want them aboard the ship.
[Sat 3:44:56 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
My sense of adventure hates adventure and danger.
[Sat 3:45:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Why not? Our crew is full of mercernaries.
[Sat 3:45:20 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Then you’re in the wrong line of work.
[Sat 3:45:22 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Accepting surrender cannot be delegated?
[Sat 3:45:41 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan looks at Tomoe in faux shock, “Are you saying I invite everyone we tussle with?”
[Sat 3:45:51 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I’ve always been in the wrong line of work, it just hasn’t killed me yet.
[Sat 3:45:55 PM] undefined - Kristian:
DO WE
[Sat 3:45:54 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Kevin heard that
[Sat 3:45:54 PM] undefined - Rob:
We recruited Kevin.
[Sat 3:45:56 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I’m sure you missed one or two…
[Sat 3:46:21 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I saw potential
[Sat 3:46:26 PM] undefined - Veth:
Yeah, KEvin is our best recruit ever.
[Sat 3:46:29 PM] undefined - Michelle:
yeah, but Kevin is like a puppy
[Sat 3:46:33 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
And we tried to recruit the guy who led the people we fought.
[Sat 3:46:40 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Just saying.
[Sat 3:46:43 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
He would be an asset!
[Sat 3:46:50 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I didn’t. smirks
[Sat 3:46:55 PM] undefined - Rob:
Said commander and Swann are at least professionals who work for pay. Kevin was a raider.
[Sat 3:47:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
to be fair Dirk is on the team and he had sex with Jack’s wife while she was stuck in the dryer that one time.
[Sat 3:47:07 PM] undefined - Pat:
and Gatsby. :P
[Sat 3:47:27 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
We tried to recruit the station engineer too.. [looks at Dirk] … too soon?
[Sat 3:47:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
“tried” She’ll join up next time we’re in FG.
[Sat 3:47:41 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
So…yes?
[Sat 3:47:43 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Soon, all of Whistler’s Reach will work for IBI! evil maniacal laughter
[Sat 3:47:53 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Please do not try to recruit Felicity Randall, that’d just make everything very complicated
[Sat 3:47:58 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Let’s not recruit the highly suspicious defectees who may be assassins or spies.
[Sat 3:48:12 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
What he said.
[Sat 3:48:15 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan cracks a grin
[Sat 3:48:20 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
But should we go talk to them?
[Sat 3:48:20 PM] undefined - Rob:
Can I give Stig one of my Fate points for that comment?
[Sat 3:48:26 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so we’re going to the planet to accept some surrender, then our ship gets blown up while we’re gone, ST3 style?
[Sat 3:48:29 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
They followed me home, can I keep them? :)
[Sat 3:48:44 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Alright alright, let’s go adventure.
[Sat 3:48:46 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Let’s bring a detachment back onboard if it isn’t already
[Sat 3:48:56 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Enough pestering Aiden. We would not be the crew we are without him.
[Sat 3:49:13 PM] undefined - Kristian:
and Calliope
[Sat 3:49:12 PM] undefined - Pat:
should be good enough to hold the ship.
[Sat 3:49:30 PM] undefined - Kristian:
look at Deb being all meatsesist.
[Sat 3:49:31 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I could do with a meal that doesn’t come in a tube or bag, who’s coming?
[Sat 3:49:32 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
No, we’d be a lot smaller crew..
[Sat 3:49:35 PM] undefined - Rob:
Did we leave anybody aboard who can fly the ship?
[Sat 3:49:43 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
I’ll come.
[Sat 3:49:58 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Calliope IS the ship
[Sat 3:50:07 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I’ll go prep a shuttle.
[Sat 3:50:31 PM] undefined - Kristian:
do we all really need to go in order to accepted 2 dudes surrender?
[Sat 3:50:36 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Yeah, let’s go.
[Sat 3:50:49 PM] undefined - Rob:
15 minutes is good for us.
[Sat 3:51:01 PM] undefined - Veth:
I RERET NOTHING!
[Sat 3:51:04 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Anyone who wants to stay aboard is welcome to
[Sat 3:51:15 PM] undefined - Kristian:
have you seen the potion shop at Anderson Northinds??!
[Sat 3:51:17 PM] undefined - Pat:
keep in mind that it doesn’t take quite as long if we speak rather than type
[Sat 3:51:42 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I have my shit set up…even found my old webcam. That I had…for…reasons..
[Sat 3:51:54 PM] undefined - Pat:
no, I just mean it wasn’t necessarily 15 minutes in game time :P
[Sat 3:52:00 PM] undefined - Jason G:
mayvik.onlyfans.com
[Sat 3:52:45 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Lol!
[Sat 3:52:47 PM] undefined - Jason G:
rofl
[Sat 3:52:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
We are SO recruiting them
[Sat 3:53:17 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
You don’t like the local hospitality?
[Sat 3:53:16 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Henry?
[Sat 3:53:17 PM] undefined - Pat:
was those the Guardians?
[Sat 3:53:21 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
That might still happen.
[Sat 3:53:23 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Ooooh!
[Sat 3:53:27 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
That’s after your surrender, during pre-processing.
[Sat 3:53:25 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Hi!
[Sat 3:53:30 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Swann, you interrupted our lunch for this!?
[Sat 3:53:33 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
He forgot the rectal exam?!
[Sat 3:53:34 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan grins
[Sat 3:53:37 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen heads over and give them both a hug.
[Sat 3:53:40 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart slaps them both on the shoulder
[Sat 3:53:44 PM] undefined - Pat:
gives, even.
[Sat 3:53:48 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Now why would you take a job against us?
[Sat 3:53:58 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen looks at Aiden.
[Sat 3:54:05 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Ok, you can recruit them if you want.
[Sat 3:54:13 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Wait..you signed up for this on purpose?
[Sat 3:54:24 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
DIdn’t make it back on that ship eh?
[Sat 3:54:30 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
You’re fucking lucky you didn’t end up on a different ship.
[Sat 3:54:30 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
You joined a merc company that was going to fight us in order to meet us again? Could you just… send an email or something?
[Sat 3:54:39 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
You coulda just sent an email.
[Sat 3:54:51 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Touche.
[Sat 3:54:51 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
True.
[Sat 3:54:56 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang shrugs
[Sat 3:55:11 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Hey, just glad you were on one of the ships we didn’t blow up.
[Sat 3:55:28 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
See, eloped…
[Sat 3:55:36 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Julian Felix looks smug
[Sat 3:55:39 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen giggles.
[Sat 3:56:15 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Swann is like “don’t you dare offer them a better deal than I got”
[Sat 3:56:23 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Not everyone.
[Sat 3:56:25 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Mr. Swann, these men are the reason more than half of us are still seeing daylight.
[Sat 3:56:29 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
But a lot of people, yeah.
[Sat 3:56:40 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Yeah..just for awareness, these guys are definitely not assholes.
[Sat 3:56:37 PM] undefined - Stig:
And now Aiden hesitates with recruiting?
[Sat 3:56:45 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Or rather, they are our kind of assholoes.
[Sat 3:56:50 PM] undefined - Stig:
is it because they haven’t shot at us yet?
[Sat 3:57:01 PM] undefined - Pat:
which one was that?
[Sat 3:57:00 PM] undefined - Rob:
Yet.
[Sat 3:57:14 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
One moment.
[Sat 3:57:16 PM] undefined - Pat:
which one was that again?
[Sat 3:57:30 PM] undefined - Pat:
the one with the cigar or the other one?
[Sat 3:57:31 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan runs over to the local bar and grabs a bottle of something strong
[Sat 3:57:45 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan returns
[Sat 3:57:49 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Aiden I guess you need to formally accept their surrender and log it…then we can interrogate these chaps over some drinks.
[Sat 3:58:04 PM] undefined - Pat:
ICE CREAM!
[Sat 3:58:17 PM] undefined - Jason G:
no afk messages anymore eh
[Sat 3:58:26 PM] Debinani - Debinani:
