hey, Persephone. grandpa's gotten himself deep in the shit again, huh?
requesting permission to come aboard the Demeter's Bounty while you drift out to āāāāāāāāā -- he and I are dropping together there once he's recovered anyway, and I wanna help support him while he's down.
I'll bring soup. I'll even read him a bedtime story.
Youāre fighting for valor, Iām fighting for what keeps me alive!
And imma tell you right now, Iām feelingā mighty alive right now!
DANGER CLOSE, TRENCHFOOT!

Ah, you. You were always the weakest of us in S-12, you know? The odd one out, the weakest link in the chain. Many would probably call you an underdog, but I'd say you were always just a little mongrel with nothing to lose and everything to gain, the little leech of the group with no morals, and even less of a drive. Your life is as insignificant as a summer ant's.
You of all guns should know a washed-up prick like me is the most dangerous thing a revolution can fight ;)
And what do you mean by āno drive,ā diesel-drinker? Youāve seen [LANGUAGE OF VIOLENCE] in action, and she drives pretty damn good!
Iād tell you to suck my core power, but I dunno if itāll fit through that tube!
I'll rip your windpipe out, shove it up your ass and play you like a flute you miserable sack of shit.
as a washed-up prick myself, we don't claim this one. kill that fucker, Headlock.
OOC Appreciation:
OOC: Hello Everyone! Just a little announcement here before the posts I can only hope everyone is excited for!
I would just like to thank this community for being so fucking incredibly awesome and welcoming, I've only been in here for a few months but all of you are such wonderful people and writers.
My mental and physical health has been less than perfect recently due to the stress of work and school, but this community has significantly helped my mental state these past months (at least enough to balance out the lost sleep from late night conversations).
So this message is really out to EVERYONE in this little corner of tumblr. I want to thank all of you, from the very bottom of my heart. It has been a while since I've felt so welcome within a community. It has been too long since I felt at home and comfortable with a group like this.
And to anyone thinking of joining, if your lurking, reading through our mad ramblings. Please, join us, join our merry band of misfits.
Once more, from the bottom of my heart,
Thank you.
OOC: I agree with this. everyone's been so much fun to talk with :} we love you, brig!!!

confession: every time I close my eyes, I hope to wake up with the simulated sunrise out-of-cycle, a message flashed across the screen instead: Second Interest War Declared.
I am itching for that hostility to kick off into a war. when it happens -- and trust me, it will happen -- that's gonna be my moment: a grinding war of attrition featuring more hostile Legion infantry than anyone knows what to do with.
my red flag? peacekeeping be damned, I want that paycheck. give me a Karrakin chassis hauler in the skies over Ras Shamra and I'm never eating vent crab again.
Little Bird, I do say, I value our working relationship and our fr- er- comradery quite a lot, but I must express that this sentiment doth disturb me to a degree.
While I concede that it is likely only a matter of time, I do remind thee that mine people, mine House, and mine own self would be embroiled in that flood of conflict.
I have plenty of profitable work for thee in the meantime, Kirian.
...
... I'm sorry, Lady Hurst. I forget myself.
I've made it a mission of mine to avoid getting caught up in wars that mean something to me. my job is... stressful, to say the least, and staying detached is how I've tried to lessen that cognitive and emotional burden. this is -- you and your people are -- different. huh.
I... apologize for the outburst. I think that sentiment was directed at myself, but I don't think it was really true, was it?
maybe it's best if we keep that war from kickin' off in our lifetime. maybe I do care about something other than myself, yeah?
I need some time. expect no further sentiment like this from me.
~ yours,
Little Bird
and yet you deny them a say in how things are run? do you lack faith in your own peoples ability to choose who should lead them? are you that willing to admit you failure to them? That you have failed to teach and nurture any understanding of merit in your peasant class, or perhaps you know that they would choose against your wishes?
Democracy is a failed experiment. We see in the fatal deadlocks that hold the Central Committee of Union, the strongmen that dominated the American Empire, the failures of the Atlantic Bloc, and countless other disasters! Under democracy, a leader cannot plan for the long term - they must rule such that their subjects love them after four years. Under monarchy, a man may be prepared all his life to rule - and is prepared to rule all his life. He can act without concern for base anxieties, for widespread falsehood, for political populism - he acts only with the good of the Nation in mind. All that monarchy requires to succeed is for one man to be wise and kind - democracy requires that all men be thus. Under the modern Karrakin system (rather than brute primogeniture,) a ruler can ensure that his successor is equal to the task - thus is the wisdom of the leader preserved. The Third Estate can focus on their lives, unworried about politics, sure in their leader who is known and predictable - they can spend their energies in bettering the State, in building things that may benefit their fellows.
"All that monarchy requires to succeed is for one man to be wise and kind - democracy requires that all men be thus."
Ask the bombed-out craters that used to be the great Passacaglian cities of Khayradin what happens when a monarch is not wise and kind.
Ask the Hercynians about democracy
You fool. A simple fool. I have met ignobles who understand The Second Commission better than you. The fools who run the Armory are the fault of such existence. My qualms with Union do not put them at direct fault of Hercynia, but utilizing a tragedy that should point our guns towards Harrison and his no better than the Second Commission cronies is foolish. You stab yourself in the foot.
You may hold the position of speaker of the Baronies on this Omninet. But you are not my voice, you are the voice of cowards and the shameful. Your education has failed you. You have failed the Baronies.
/Suzerain Arvantiel Sarthis of The House of Promise\
The men who run the Armories comport themselves as the very sword and spear of Union. Union, for its part, offers no resistance to this characterization. Perhaps they disavow the Armory, but this is akin to disavowing the bullets once discharged from the rifle - and make no mistake, Union needs the Armory. The Legions are the army that does what the Navy will not, after all. When they must crack down upon their enemies in the Diaspora, or worlds which wish to be let alone, or whoever and whatever must be destroyed that their empire may expand - it is Harrison Armory that does it. Make no mistake, Harrison Armory is the Second Committee is the Third Committee is Union - they are different masks upon the same face. If Union were faced with a crisis again, it would again respond with utter extermination.
And you do not recall the Second Committee very well at all if you do not remember its name.
Respond with utter extermination, you say? Please, do believe me such a crisis is very much upon us - It is the ever-nearing Second Interest War. Do indeed trust me when I proclaim that I despise the fools and human waste in the Armories with vehemence, but if Union truly wanted to, they could've already completely obliterated either us or at the very least severely weaken the Armories in a full scale war if they really did wish to see the wars in the Baronic Interest end. Unfortunately, the Third Council of Union, or the Third Committee as they call it, is too focused on not repeating the brutality it's ancestors have committed. They are too pre-occupied with humanitarian restructuring of their organizations to do anything more than peacekeeping operations, but I am very convinced that if Union truly wanted, they could own the galaxy from Earth to Karrakis, just like the Second Council has in the past. You mistake their pure-hearted-naivetƩ and bureaucratic pacifism for weakness, which is a mistake we have been guilty of making several wars-too-many in the past.
Thank you Venerable Lord Bilal. You speak eloquently and provide the hammer smacking upon my anvil that I laid out for you.
/Suzerain Arvantiel Sarthis of The House of Promise\
I should like to add to this by speaking thus:
As a prominent Noblewoman from a planet far from core status at present and located on the Dawnline Shore, mine House's holdings hath come under menace from Harrison Armory countless times; they doth see us as prime target for their overt bullying and strong-arming. I mine own self have sat across the negotiating table from these barbarians a great number of times.
If there is one thing I hath found to be true of all those which I have met: they hath not a care nor an ounce of love for Union. They doth care for Legions. They doth care for commanders. They doth care for John Creighton Harrison in all his iterations. They doth care for war and expansion. If these cares doth benefit the Earthlings on occasion, it is by no design of the Armory. Of few things in this Galaxy am I more certain. Union is the catch pole which yanketh the neck of a wild animal, and that beast struggleth like a devil to escape that yoke.
hey dont worry ha aint the only one who sees u as a prime target for bullying
Thou art RA's most disappointing child. A bitchless smart-toaster of an NHP.
i'm also the reason that no matter how many overworked underpaid people you call up to take a look at the machine your coffee still comes out cold
:^)
I did have that coffee maker replaced weeks ago, daemon. Twas scrapped for parts, just as thine casket should be.
you've got millions of miles of wafer-thin circuitry in an anomalously small casket, and you couldn't conceive that -- wait, oh my god -- Lady Hurst, turn on the holo-projector, there's been a second coffee maker. these people bleed money if you cut 'em, dicknips. hot coffee is a trivial matter. do something cool like setting her stove on fire or go cycle yourself

BREAKING NEWS:
RA is now a tomato.
How will this affect the galaxy?
Check in next hour to find out!
did he retain all his powers or. or is he now literally just a vegetable. or a fruit. whatever. is this a super sentient 5th dimensional "s. lycopersicum" gallivanting around, or did he just get turned into a berry with all the normal powers of a berry. how did this come about. did deimos also get turned into a tomato. much to think about. I will stay tuned intently
open letter to hacker pilots:
you're in my computer. I'm in your cockpit. we are not the same. knock knock motherfucker. it's me. get out. im going to pry you out of your gamer chair like tearing the pit from an olive. when I find whoever's copy-pasting the Torah into my chat feeds, I'm going to make the Hercynian Crisis look like John Creighton Harrison's Tropical Beach Vacation. it cost me 2 System Points for the double birds i'm gonna flip you when I core your reactor. hack my chassis-scale middle fingers, you sniveling bastard.

I've actually been holding off on finishing FFR ('87) and this reminded me about it. go live soon or I'll skip ahead ;P

There is a fault in the recording encoded. Would you like to attempt automatic salvaging of the file contents?
Y/N
Egads. Shit. Fuck. Passions above, Ra below. I did think I was safe in watching the events unfoldeth from the periphery. Should I open it? Be this a zip bomb, perchance? Verily, I am most frightened! I seek not another cyber attack! ;-;
as the Grand High Supreme Lord Advisor-Chairman-Councilor of the House of Remembrance, I suggest you open it.
Forsooth, this is unrelated to the debacle at hand, but...
Trans rights! Even unto the ignoble masses! Thou art valid! May the Passions grant thee gender euphoria!
// Not to sound Ungrateful // But this is so obviously performative // Trans rights are human rights // And the DOJ/HR is always turning a blind eye to the KTB's heinous treatment of their workers
PERFORMATIVE??? HOW DAREST THEE!?! Always have I been outspoken upon this, and I was always the first to assist mine dearest sister with ANYTHING regarding her transition that she did need! I did organize EVERY clinic visit and attend them alongside her! And I do spare no small expense from mine OWN COFFERS in assisting mine servants with the affirmative health care they need and deserve! How could I ask them to be content in their indenture without ensuring they art content in their very own skins??? Thou knowest nothing of mine own life! PERFORMATIVE??? Forsooth, I am infinitely more offended than I was in regards to all the "harlot" messages. The nerve...
Hmph!
you're missing the point, Lady Hurst: our lovely respondent's blue lettering spells out "SANJAK."
the Sanjak Rebellion was a civil war fought on Khayradin's Blanca Desert. uninteresting, but as soon as the Sanjak Rebellion ended, the Balor pattern group materialized from a company and/or individual named Maw.
a joint @albatross-lancer and U-DoJ/HR sting operation chased that fucker across the Blanca Desert and eliminated him -- we think. could've scampered off into the sand. anyway, that's why we have the Balor.
important part: there's a difference between "I like eating people with nanites" (average Balor pilot) to "this old HORUS-PG discovery is personally significant to me" (insane motherfucker).
you should look into this.
I fuckinā hate Karrakin mechs.
Itās always some fancy SSC shit all dolled up in ribbons and bows and zipping all over the arena like I aināt gotta job to do (and do quickly, mind you). If I have to fight another Orchisā¦ RA below, I donāt give a shit about first blood Iāll flatten that shit paper thin against the fucking ground.
Message to all Pankrati: fuck you, IPS-N is better
-Han Jae-
There's the free spirit I know you have! Yes! Orchis pilots are so head strong, they often forget the raw wrath of a Calendula..... Beautiful beautiful.
/Suzerain Arvantiel Sarthis of The House of Promise\
Huh. Mine sister would oft complain of the same thing. When she debuted as a Pankrati and for some time after she did pilot an offshoot of the Atlas - a model without all the bells and whistles of the Bloodline technology - but did eventually switch to a modified Sagamartha frame. I wonder at what she doth pilot now...
the Orchis is elegant, but mundane in function -- Karrakin paratech, on the other hand, is not to be fucked with. I fought alongside an RKF Calendula pilot exactly three times, and each sortie was genuinely troubling. ghosts are real, I think, because I'm convinced he turned me into one for a moment.
I was made to sit side by side with a devoted Neo-Passacaglian for the duration of a meeting today. I do fear I shall never be rid of mine migraine. :(
At least you were not seated next to that dog Ferdinand Cannamos during the most recent House Games. Abhorrent individual, truly. I hope the next House Games aren't hosted by Stone, or any of those other backwards Houses for that matter. . .
Hmm... Be that the source of thine rivalry with Ferdinand, or doth it go back further?
It is less of rivalry and more of genuine hatred - I don't seek to be better than him, I merely wish him dead. And our hatred goes as far back as us hearing of one another's existence.
Ah, of course. Mine mistake. Hast thou ever considered a formal duel?
I know better than to trust a Neo-Passacaglian in an honorary duel to the death.
There is no need of besmirching my name, nor the name of Passacaglia. If you bid me dead, come and try it - but this idle talk demeans us both.
Thou art truly Neo-Passacaglian? Egads, I do truly believe I begin to understand Lord Bilal's side of things.
I suggest a duel with impartial witnesses. the illustrious Lord Bilal, versus the blithering heap of Neo-Passacaglian gutter trash that is Lord Cannamos.

Lady Hurst,

OOC this is so fucking funny to me. hey anon is this psychological warfare? sorry [actual woman behind lady hurst], you just gotta accept it: beach volleyball
>Hello, everyone! My name is Dr. Milo Wells, and I'm the Union DoJ/HR agent in charge of Z's case. In light of recent events, I'm gonna be taking over this account for a little while, just until we get everything sorted out over on our end.< >Feel free to direct any questions and comments to me and my department. If it's immediately pressing then I'll pass the message along to Z, but otherwise he's taking a break for a little while. I'll be here to provide updates to whoever wants them.< -Dr. Milo Wells, DoJ/HR
before any further investigation, Dr. Wells, I would like to provide a character witness for Z.
though I'm unsure of the circumstances leading to his account being seized, Z has proven in our private correspondence to be remarkably stable and fully competent to operate without supervision. I say this not as a colleague, but as his friend, and I hope he sees me the same. he's struggling to find an identity, I think, but he's a sweet person and values the freedom to associate with us -- it's for all of us that I look forward to his return.
furthermore, your apparent shock at Z's reluctance to tell you about APMS's condition is surprising. I'm glad you're willing to repair it -- didn't get that sense.
please inform me of Z's current condition in explicit detail as soon as possible.
>It's good to hear from some of Z's friends, I was a bit worried about this account as a socialization aid but it seems like it was working as intended for a little while.< >To shed some light on the situation, I'm only briefly taking over this account due to a recent decline of Z's mental and physical health leading to a couple of hostile interactions, as well as some concerning news about some of his affiliations. We're not trying to isolate him or accuse him of anything, we're just worried about him being taken advantage of again.< >Z is a very pleasant person to work with, he can be very sweet when he's given the opportunity to be, but he's also very stuck in his ways. From what I can gather, he didn't tell us about APMS because he didn't feel comfortable seeking help and didn't want to be obtrusive, which is a pretty common theme with him. I've also gotten a bit concerned about some of his maladaptive behaviors and values being somewhat encouraged by some people, which we're looking into. We highly value Z's ability to freely associate with whoever he wants, but his safety comes first over that, which is the reasoning behind this little break. I know it can be hard to trust me as a Union agent, but please do know that I have Z's best interests at heart and my main job is making sure he's healthy, safe, and happy.< -Dr. Milo Wells
the others are welcome to say what they will, but union agents are the reason slavery died on the core worlds. nobody likes a hegemony, but I like debt-bondage worse. working for the U-DoJ/HR is a trustworthy calling -- there's checks and balances in place to eliminate the abuse of power. I don't trust you, but I trust your position, and I know you're doing either the right thing or the closest you can. we have the same goal here regarding Z's wellbeing, and I respect you for that. please do understand that I'm not hostile toward you or your goals -- I'm hostile only toward anyone who would deprive Z of his autonomy, and I'm confident you're not trying to do that.
I'd like to send Z a care package, if possible. don't know where he is right now -- also not sure what to include. any ideas?
