In-Game Chat – Sol System
DeadMan, Grabble, BakulaScott, Gorm, Knocker, Dabbldoya,
Thagran, HaveGunWillTravel, ScruffyLooking, MacD, Lord_Kickass,
Requiesce-in-Pace, Guardian, Anonymous6, and M.Mollen are in the chat.
Lord_Kickass: Damnit,
even after I get out of jail, that bitch is still screwing me!
MacD: What happened?
Lord_Kickass: I’m
being charged for that Major’s funeral, even though I didn’t kill her!
Knocker: That sucks,
but at least you’re not in jail, right?
Lord_Kickass: Yeah.
They just ran me through the wringer until they were clear that I was telling
the truth and knew nothing about her. Even had people do mindreading on me.
Grabble: I haven’t run
into anyone using mental powers. What it feel like?
Lord_Kickass: Weird,
like someone was reading the computer screen over my shoulder, you know?
Gorm: FUCK! Check the
feed from Choson Ring!
Dabbldoya: What
happened?
HaveGunWillTravel: Um…
Guardian: Heh…
M.Mollen: Well, about
that…
ScruffyLooking:
*chuckles* So what happened?
Gorm: Heh. Well it
looks like you three are copping to it, but there was a fight in the ring. Half
a section got blown to hell, from what I heard.
M.Mollen: Oh, it wasn’t
that bad. Just a few corridors between me and the ship. And the hangar bay. And
the hangar doors.
Thagran: What.
HaveGunsWillTravel:
Local syndicate decided they wanted to take Cap’n’s toys. He politely responded
by spraying the corridor with full-auto until there wasn’t anyone moving. Then
we had a nice running gun fight to the hangar.
M.Mollen: Where they
had thirty guys waiting on us.
BakulaScott: How’d you
get past them?
M.Mollen: The guns on
a starship, even a freighter, do nasty things to people in enclosed spaces.
Only took a few seconds to take them down.
DeadMan: I’ve heard a
Navy destroyer just dropped off the screens.
HaveGunsWillTravel:
Well, you see the station wasn’t happy with the Cap’n for shooting up the
place, or blowing the doors off the hangar, so they sent fighters after him.
Navy destroyer just ‘happened’ to be nearby.
M.Mollen: Most likely
sent by the Prince, to grab the Princess. Anyways, ducking into Jupiter’s
atmosphere let Guns and Guardian score their first fighter kills. Then the
destroyer followed us in, deciding they didn’t want us to lose them in the
storms.
Gorm: What happened?
M.Mollen: I used
missiles to detonate a rather high concentration area of hydrogen in the cloud.
The blast wave rocked the destroyer pretty bad. Must have caused a containment
breach in the reactor, because then it was annihilated in a second.
Requiesce-in-Pace: You
seem to be very popular on the bounty boards.
M.Mollen: Ugh. Just
over two weeks in, and I’ve already got over a million in bounties on my head.
Of course, you wouldn’t be able to collect all of that, since the only way to
get each group to pay would be to kill me, and that side of the bounty is a lot
lower.
Requiesce-in-Pace: And
you’re openly admitting this?
M.Mollen: Sure. The
bounties are public record, anyways. But I plan on going the smuggler route,
once this business with the Princess is behind me. Getting out of Imperial
space will be a good thing, I think.
Lord_Kickass: How much
is the bounty on you dead?
M.Mollen: 360000
credits. Not enough to get you a new ship. And you would have to run pretty
fast to catch up with me.
Gorm: Already heading
out of system?
M.Mollen: Made the
jump an hour ago. Seems you stay in your same system chat until you reach a new
system. Guess they didn’t want people getting bored with days of no contact
between systems.
Lord_Kickass: DAMNIT!
DeadMan: Hah!
Knocker: You got
style, I’ll give you that.
ScruffyLooking: Uh-oh.
I think that stunt will cost the rest of us, though. I’ve got word that the
Senate is considering legislation to restrict Nomads from owning ships.
Knocker: It is an overreaction
to a stressful few days. They’ll calm down soon.
MacD: But it is
official that all Nomads are now officially banned from Earth unless they have
approval from the Senate, the Emperor, or the Admiralty.
Gorm: Nooo, all those
lovely quests just waiting to happen, gone! Oh the humanity!
M.Mollen: They have to
look like they’re doing something. Even if it won’t work.
Knocker: Yeah, but it’ll
screw things up in the meantime, especially if other planets follow suit.
DeadMan: Nah, it won’t
happen. The Devs will step in before players are kicked out of every planet. It
would kill the game!
MacD: I can see
capitol planets restricting Nomads, especially with the Smoker’s Club out
there, but there will always be shady ports where people can do business, or
official service, for people who like that kind of thing.
M.Mollen: It will
quiet down as soon as Nomads start really making a contribution to the world.
The game’s still young, so until we have some real power, we’ll be convenient
scapegoats.
Gorm: Yeah, getting
some steady business and a good rep is the way to get ahead, same as every
other MMO. It is just that DAtS feels more real.
M.Mollen: True that.
Guardian: I’m just
glad that I’m part of something. First two weeks were real dull.
HaveGunsWillTravel:
Yeah, but at least we’re having fun now, right?
M.Mollen: And there’s
a whole galaxy to explore while we’re at it!
Lord_Kickass: You
never said where you were headed.
M.Mollen: No, I did
not. And no, I won’t tell you.
Lord_Kickass: I’m
going to kill you a hundred times, asshole!
M.Mollen: Not today,
kid, not today.
M.Mollen has left the chat.
