I cannot describe how strange this was to write, like being the pencil (or word processor) of something else. Sure, all my touches are in there, but still, it feels weird. Oh well, on to the next thing pushing to get out of my brain. State of Affairs ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::VGMRN-KG02-CTF96702ao6-M00260093x0021:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Location: Al-Khalid BBHC: Eye of Makaan :: Time: 1026.18.05:2300 SST(Shipday Standard Time) :: Subject: Warlord Meeting :: Partially Recovered Transcript:: :: PREVIOUS DATA UNRECOVERABLE :: :: RECOVERED DATA SEGMENTS :: Faokori: And what is the objection to his appointment? Matris: Kultbaren isn?t one of us Faokori. Orprentai: Kultbaren is not Vaygr, he is a convert. Faokori: A convert of Jult herself. She was the Word of Makaanan. Unknown01: Jult was highest of those few and her converts devout believers to this day. Still, this body chooses not to accept Kultbaren. Faokori: I accept the ruling and will abide by it. Unknown02: Are the preliminary reports of the- :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown01: Orprentai position the majority of your units at these coordinates, but I would like you to have Pletrice next to Warmaster Waynard?s Flagship. Orprentai: I had planned to leave Pletrice in command of the Taskforce during the Carnival. Unknown03: Waynard and Pletrice have a burgeoning friendship, fostering it would be in our best interests. Noans for instance. Orprentai: I ::sighs:: understand. I expect the prime pickings of batches of transuranimcs from the Noans System though. In fact, swap me out with Matris. We?ll be able to partner with Waynard for the next several major operations. Matris: I object to that! My ships are outdated and need relief from the frontlines. Half my taskforce is about to undergo refits while the other half is to be retired. Secular is a pre-crusade hull. General Murmurings Unknown04: Reassigning Orprentai is agreed upon. Matris will not remain on the border. Reassignment will be decided at the full meeting during Carnival. Matris: I expect as much.- :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown03: We run the risk of- :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown05: I say again, without a rallying figure, religious or otherwise we run the risk of desertion and sedition within our ranks. All our ranks- Arguing and Yelling Unknown03: Let?s come to order here! Arguing and Yelling Matris: SHUT UP! ORDER! Arguing and Yelling Unknown01: A break is called for. We resume in 30 minutes. Leave. Arguing over the sound of shuffled footsteps. Door opens, then closes. Silence for 23.34 minutes Door opens, then closes. Unknown06: So it isn?t just the conscripts and converts in your forces? Unknown07: No, several of die-hard old hands as well. ::lowers voice:: Including myself. ::Raises voice:: I can understand why, to live without walls? Door opens. Faokori: You the first ones back- :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown08: I agree the Rebel Vaygr are a problem. But how do you figure they contribute to the desertion problem among the converts? Unknown05: The continued existence of the ::stresses:: Independent Vaygr Federation is a rallying marker for not only converts and conscripts, but the peoples of our territories. It presents a life without the need for ::stresses:: us. :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown10: Is there no chance we can come to some understanding with the IVF? War with ones who were once true Vaygr is? just wrong without some sort of- Arguing and Yelling :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown09: I don?t completely agree with that statement, but the IVF is a problem, one that needs a solution, and quick. General Murmuring Unknown02: Well we can?t overlook the recent Hiigaran strikes into :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown02: Stepping up our efforts and launching a direct offensive into the IVF?s territory may just send them into the arms of Hiigara. We?d be fighting a war on two fronts. Orprentai: We are. The only difference would be the intensity. Unknown05: Then it?s time we put equal pressure on all sides, Hiigara may already be allied with them, or come to an understanding. Those deep strikes just might be originating from those sectors. General Murmuring :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown08: Hiigara is allied with the IVF. They are combining their efforts and are taking advantage of our lax stance to strike deep and assault the home worlds of our people. Unknown10: What proof do you have of that? Unknown09: Is it really that unthinkable? It?s the perfect solution. :: UNRECOVERABLE DATA :: Unknown01: It is agreed. For intents and purposes, the IVF is allies with Hiigara. A suitable campaign will be drawn up at later. General rumors will serve us well until then. Orprentai: On to our next topic- :: FURTHER DATA UNRECOVERABLE :: :: EOF :: ?Your opinion sir?? Asked the woman lounging in the only other seat in the tiny office. ?It?s an interesting read for sure. Thank you for stripping the gibberish out. Why are most of the speakers listed as unknown?? Two eyes, peered above the hardcopy from behind the desk, then slipped back to intently re-read the recovered file. ?We were unable to discern their identities from this recording alone. Further cross-analysis will most likely identify all speakers, but it will not be 100 percent accurate.? ?Understood. Any evidence to corroborate this even happened?? ?Well sir, the recent opening of the Noan system for heavy transuranmic mining, as well as the presence of ships bearing the markings of Warlord Orprentai?s Task force among Warmaster Waynard?s. Not to mention the increased deployment along the IVF/Loyalist border.? ?Alright, anything on this propaganda campaign?? He put down the sheets, and looked right into her eyes. He wasn?t that much younger then she was, though the stubble of beard was already going silver. She crossed her arms, and leaned back, determined to extract as much confrort from the seat as she could. ?Nothing as yet, though rumor of such an alliance have always floated around, though their does seem to be a slight increase in them.? She heaved a sigh, ?Your opinion on this, Sir?? ?Decent work, the file header though is a bit conspicuous. How would a Command Shamshir have recorded a conference on an Al-Khalid? Not to mention why, the ship registry is listed as?? He tapped several commands into terminal attached to the desk. ?Manufactured by Kaghan II class Full Swing, belonging to a Warlord Arugulia. Pre-Crusade Loyalist I believe.? She tapped at data-pad in her lap. ?Yes sir, we believe he was at the meeting also, though we have been unable to identify if he was one of the speakers, or spoke at all. It is highly probable he did the actual recording. We are still weeding our way through other documents from the Shamshir?s database though.? ?Good. I hate half-assed jobs. A smooth lie?? ?Is better than a distorted truth.? She finished. ?We?ll go through everything twice before we place the data. Gonna just give them enough to form their own conclusions, which will be just what we want them to do.? She gathered herself up and saluted. ?I?ll be down for a final inspection at 0630 tomorrow. Again, decent work.? ?Thank you sir.? She turned, and left the office.   Bring it on. I've mastered multiple forms of Pink! [small]Zenprime is dead. Well no |

Being the pencil of something else is the ideal of roleplay. You do it well  |
