1 nq995200_msg0001 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I heard Tohma talking earlier. I assume it
was with you guys, right?
2 nq995200_msg0002 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, but staying on topic, what got you
branded as a fiend, and locked up in here?
3 nq995200_msg0003 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well, my great crime was blowing up a
container the salvage corps was going to
salvage.
4 nq995200_msg0004 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Horrible thing to do, right? Wasting away
supplies they worked so hard to get.
5 nq995200_msg0005 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 That's a new one to me... Why go and
blow up valuable supplies?
6 nq995200_msg0006 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I mean, who cares about that, really? You
guys have come here to fight us three
fiends, right?
7 nq995200_msg0007 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm ready to fight whenever you are, but
don't keep me waiting too long.
8 nq995200_msg0101 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You ready to fight? Because I'm ready
whenever you are.
9 nq995200_msg0201 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You finally ready now? Kept
me waiting long enough.
10 nq995200_msg0202 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Before we fight, there's something I want
to confirm with you. Specifically, the
reason you blew up that container.
11 nq995200_msg0203 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...What's it to you? It's not like I can make
those supplies magically come back.
12 nq995200_msg0204 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 True, but to just blow up a container for
no reason, you'd have to be out of your
mind, which you don't seem to be.
13 nq995200_msg0205 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Funny you mention that, because I was out
of my mind when I blew up the container.
14 nq995200_msg0206 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Or, perhaps...you noticed that that
container had been booby-trapped.
15 nq995200_msg0207 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...
16 nq995200_msg0208 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You don't have to be out of your mind to
sacrifice supplies in the name of protecting
your comrades.
17 nq995200_msg0209 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Although I wouldn't call it a flawless plan,
I can't see why it would be egregious
enough to violate military discipline.
18 nq995200_msg0210 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If one knew that a container did have
something lethal in it, then blowing it
up would be perfectly justifiable.
19 nq995200_msg0211 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Lethal? What do you mean, lethal?
20 nq995200_msg0212 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It could've been something explosive, or
poisonous... You didn't know what was
inside, but you had a feeling, didn't you?
21 nq995200_msg0213 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's odd to think airdropped supplies could
have something like that in them... Unless,
the Consul had something to do with it?
22 nq995200_msg0214 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Indeed. It's not impossible to see why the
Consul could've thought up something
fiendish like that.
23 nq995200_msg0215 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And since blowing up seemingly good
supplies is a big no-no, that gave the
Consul the perfect pretext to lock you up.
24 nq995200_msg0216 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hahaha, cool theory. But the last time I
checked, theories don't count as hard
evidence.
25 nq995200_msg0217 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Indeed, all we've got is reasoning that
paints you in a favorable light.
26 nq995200_msg0218 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The simplest, most straightforward reason
would be that you were out of your mind
at the time.
27 nq995200_msg0219 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'll give you this, though. I had fun
listening to your theory. Your reasoning
skills aren't too bad, either.
28 nq995200_msg0220 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So, here's what really happened:
It's true that I blew up the container...
29 nq995200_msg0221 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You serious?
30 nq995200_msg0222 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And like you said, four-eyes, that
container was indeed booby-trapped.
31 nq995200_msg0223 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...You knew something was up, well before
the incident, didn't you?
32 nq995200_msg0224 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, right after Tohma had been locked up.
We're long-term friends, and I was livid about
his arrest. I just couldn't let it slide.
33 nq995200_msg0225 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 As I was looking into it, I began to pick up
that the Consul was hiding something in
a container.
34 nq995200_msg0226 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So, when he went along with the salvage
corps to procure it, I blew it up, hoping to
use it against the mudder himself.
35 nq995200_msg0227 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yikes. OK, I take it all back.
Maybe she is loopy...
36 nq995200_msg0228 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The Consul must've caught on that I was
sniffing around, and that's why he rigged
the container.
37 nq995200_msg0229 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Would've been happy dying alongside him to
protect my mates, but it didn't go to plan, so
I ended up here in the slammer instead.
38 nq995200_msg0230 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It was there I had a hunch that my...or rather,
*our* enemy wasn't Keves. Though I guess
I don't need to call it a hunch any more.
39 nq995200_msg0231 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I've long wondered what people like
you guys were like - guys who've
fought with Consuls.
40 nq995200_msg0232 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, no... This is a "I wanna know what
real strength looks like!" type of scenario,
isn't it? For the love of sparks...
41 nq995200_msg0233 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Tell Soona about Xera's story?
42 nq995200_msg0300 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Tell her
43 nq995200_msg0301 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We'll go explain your story to Soona from
security. Just hold on for a bit.
44 nq995200_msg0400 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Not yet
45 nq995200_msg0501 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh? You need *more* from me now?
46 nq995200_msg0601 xj1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well. I'm always up for a fight, so just let
me know when you want one. Just don't
get too distracted with the other two, OK?
