Damocles, Wyatt, and EFSF Resupply Fleet

[22:51] <Zepp> I've replied to your call to arms~
[22:51] <Chan|WRITING> lol
[22:51] <Zepp> Always wanted to be a Zeon privateer.
[22:51] <Zepp> :>
[22:51] <Chan|WRITING> well you and Malak may have to compete for jobs
[22:51] <Chan|WRITING> like REAL mercenaries!
[22:51] <ZZZepp>
[22:52] <ZZZepp> But I've got a wing up on him!
[22:52] <ZZZepp> I'm already embedded with the pirates!
[22:52] <ZZZepp> :s
[22:52] <ZZZepp> And have been for many turns.
[22:52] <ZZZepp> Beat that, newbie.
[22:52] * ZZZepp throws an ice cream cone at his Zaku
[22:52] <Chan|WRITING> He's already in space.
[22:52] <ZZZepp> So am I
[22:52] <ZZZepp> Actually, we're in the same location.
[22:52] * ZZZepp concocts assassination plan
[22:53] <ZZZepp> You need me :s
[22:53] <Chan|WRITING> +2DE?
[22:53] <ZZZepp> Mhm.
[22:53] <Chan|WRITING> hmmmm
[22:53] <Chan|WRITING> FASCINATING
[22:53] <ZZZepp>
[22:53] <Chan|WRITING> let me finish writing this
[22:53] <ZZZepp> Keep it on the down low.
[22:53] <ZZZepp> <3
[22:53] <Chan|WRITING> of course
[22:53] <ZZZepp> No other souls.
[22:53] <ZZZepp> I'm pretty close with Cid now. And I could use the moneys.
[23:19] <Zepp> Alright! So, you're concerned about pirates, right?
[23:20] <Chan> their recent actions did come as a surprise
[23:20] <Zepp> To me too
[23:20] <Zepp> I take jobs from Cid from time to time
[23:20] <Zepp> And I got no warning of it
[23:21] <Zepp> He had me running indy rogue-kills
[23:21] <Zepp> And abruptly canceled my last job
[23:21] <Zepp> Just before the seizures
[23:21] <Chan> interesting
[23:21] <Zepp> He's got more plans, too.
[23:21] <Zepp> But it's very hush hush.
[23:21] <Chan> I'm sure of it
[23:22] <Zepp> But I have been notified of a few things
[23:22] <Zepp> And I do, in fact, have a job from him currently
[23:22] <Zepp> Maybe you have a counteroffer of work? >_>
[23:22] <Chan> there is always work
[23:23] <Zepp> I like work.
[23:24] <Zepp> Almost as much as I love lovely Zeon equipment
[23:24] <Zepp> :>
[23:24] <Chan> since you're hostile against Zeon, I can only afford you a Zaku Kai.
[23:24] <Zepp> Well, tell me the job.
[23:25] <Zepp> I'd rather take RP than units
[23:25] <Chan> Terrorist contract. Target of my choosing.
[23:25] <Zepp> Make your choice.
[23:25] <Chan> I'll pay you the 100 RP for it.
[23:25] <Zepp> You have my attention.
[23:25] <Chan> once Ket relays yours and Malak's thread, I'll contact you both
[23:26] <Zepp> Cid's going to be aware of anything on that forum
[23:27] <Zepp> Maybe I should delete my response >_>
[23:27] <Chan> my target's not Cid. I'm sending you and Malak after something else first.
[23:27] <Zepp> And we'll keep this super secret
[23:27] <Zepp> Is it a pirate?
[23:27] <Chan> Nope.
[23:27] <Zepp> Alright, good.
[23:27] <Zepp> I'm going to spend most of my time hidden anyway. I feel safe enough.
[23:27] * Zepp wants a Musai eventually
[23:27] <Zepp> <_<
[23:27] <Zepp> Musais are sexy.
[23:28] <Chan> you have a long way to go for a Musai Mr. "Zeon-Hostile"
[23:29] <Zepp> Maybe we'll work that towards 'Unfriendly' and 'Neutral'
[23:29] <Zepp> <_<
[23:29] <Chan> one job at a time, Mr. Zepp.
[23:29] <Zepp> Sounds good.
[23:30] <Zepp> Hell, if I do enough of these jobs, I'd like to *join* Zeon.
[23:30] <Zepp> Just consider me a Zeon privateer wannabe until then.
[23:31] <Zepp> I just have to be careful of my pirate overlord.
[23:31] * Zepp points to floating rogue carcasses
[23:31] <Chan> mmhmm
[23:31] <Zepp> Do you need me to go anywhere in particular?
[23:32] <Zepp> I'm in 2e
[23:32] <Zepp> Was about to go to 3e
[23:33] <Chan> stay in +2DE
[23:33] <Zepp> Hmm...
[23:33] <Zepp> How much will you pay me for this job?
[23:33] <Zepp> My other one is in 3e, and nets 180 RP
[23:34] <Zepp> After a 50 RP loss
[23:34] <Zepp> Which is.. 130, I guess.
[23:34] <Zepp> I'll stay in +2DE for 100 RP
[23:34] <Chan> I'll give you the 100 RP for the your expense of the Terrorist Contract.
[23:34] <Zepp> Alright.
[23:35] <Zepp> Then I'll stay in +2DE
[23:35] <Zepp> Can you give me some idea of what you want me to do?
[23:35] <Zepp> I'm floating around in a Ball K-Type right now.
[23:35] <Chan> set off a bomb on a ship.
[23:35] <Chan> so no actually fighting
[23:35] <Chan> just following my plan and use a Terrorist Contract
[23:35] <Zepp> Which ship? Zinnia?
[23:35] <Chan> nope
[23:35] <Zepp> Hmm. Alright.
[23:36] <Chan> I'll contact you and Malak both with your targets once I get the thread back
[23:36] <Chan> it'll be a competition...
[23:36] <Zepp> Heh.
[23:36] <Chan> ... to see who performs the best
[23:36] <Zepp> :>
[23:36] <Zepp> We're both hidden.
[23:36] <Zepp> Ninja battle!
[23:36] <Zepp> Ninja race.
[23:36] <Zepp> Ball v. Zaku
[23:37] * Zepp smiles :3
[23:40] <Chan> heh
[23:40] <Chan> fortunately you have 100 RP on you so you can afford the Terrorist Contract
[23:40] <Zepp> Indeedy.
[23:41] <Chan> lol, I feel like the mysterious crime boss in those GTA/Hitman games
[23:41] * Zepp hits pause and looks at the map

[11:14] <Zepp> Chaaan
[14:09] <Chan> sup Zeppy?
[14:10] <Zepp> Hi chan!
[14:10] <Zepp> Guess who approached me with a job~
[14:11] <Chan> EFSF in the #RE channel
[14:11] <Chan> I saw
[14:11] <Zepp> The last person I'd ever expect
[14:11] <Zepp> Yeah.
[14:11] <Zepp> Blackmage, specifically.
[14:11] <Chan> and Nader
[14:11] <Zepp> He wants me to blow up Purgatario/Lucifer's Fury
[14:11] <Chan> mmmm, and how much is he paying for you to do it?
[14:11] <Zepp> I've made him think I'll do it; but I'm not going to.
[14:11] <Zepp> 300 RP
[14:11] <Zepp> ... In two weeks.
[14:11] <Zepp> <_<
[14:11] <Chan> >_>
[14:11] * Zepp does not trust EFSF since Latooni
[14:12] <Zepp> I never got my 1 RP!
[14:12] * Zepp goes on a tangent
[14:12] <Chan> How would you feel if I hire you to "pretend" to be EFSF's rogue?
[14:13] <Zepp> I'd say how high
[14:13] <Zepp> But then I'd remember it's hard to jump in space.
[14:14] <Zepp>
[14:14] * Zepp thinks Chan is his favorite employer
[14:14] <Zepp> See what I meant about Overlord 2?
[14:14] <Zepp> My information was good
[14:14] <Zepp> :3
[14:15] <Zepp> Plans today are to scout Texas
[14:15] <Zepp> And that's about it
[14:15] <Zepp> Plans tomorrow, I dunno. I'm supposed to attack Purgatario/ZEF then.
[14:15] <Zepp> I could try and look like the mission got botched.
[14:16] <Zepp> Keep David in the shoal zone, send out the terrorists. Give you advanced warning of their plans, and let you wipe them out.
[14:16] <Zepp> I'd even pay for the service~
[14:16] <Zepp> It'd just do nothing.
[14:16] <Zepp> !
[14:16] <Zepp> You could make a dummy lucifer's fury for me to blow up
[14:16] <Zepp> Would that be expensive?
[14:17] <Chan> that would be expensive
[14:17] <Chan> here's the thing
[14:17] <Zepp> awright
[14:17] <Chan> David Mass was... revealed in last night's attack.
[14:17] <Chan> Meaning I can't give him certain jobs.
[14:17] <Chan> That means you can have them.
[14:17] <Zepp> Revealed to who?
[14:17] <Zepp> You mean Malak/Daren
[14:17] <Chan> the public. His name was mentioned.
[14:17] <Chan> yes
[14:17] <Chan> oh right
[14:17] <Chan> DUH
[14:17] <Zepp> Brokay
[14:17] <Chan> sorry, just got home
[14:17] <Zepp> No prob.
[14:17] <Zepp> Understood.
[14:19] <Zepp> How about this
[14:19] <Zepp> I'll switch my PC unit to guerillas
[14:19] <Zepp> Send the guerillas ahead, let you wipe them out
[14:19] <Zepp> It'll have the appearance of a terrorist attack that got botched
[14:19] <Zepp> But it'll only cost 6 RP
[14:27] <Chan> you know
[14:27] <Chan> well, first of all, it's sorta busy in the house right now so I'm going to be afking alot
[14:27] <Chan> sorry about that
[14:27] <Zepp> no prob
[14:27] <Chan> but you *can* buy a guerrilla contact and let us kill that
[14:27] <Zepp> hmm.
[14:27] <Zepp> Sure.
[14:28] <Zepp> Then I can keep myself balled up
[14:28] <Chan> I want to put you on a stipend, because giving you Zeon equipment is too suspicious
[14:28] <Zepp> RP works for me
[14:28] <Zepp> Any equipment I'll need will come from the rogue shop
[14:28] <Zepp> Reminds me, blackmage said he'd owe me a GM xd
[14:29] <Zepp> Just pay me by the job
[14:29] <Zepp> Like, 50 for this one. Just to cover expenses.
[14:29] <Zepp> Since it's a false flag
[14:29] <Chan> alright
[14:29] <Chan> hold on, brb
[14:30] <Zepp> So that's 100 for the scout, 50 for tomorrow. 150 altogether?
[14:30] <Chan> where are you located again?
[14:31] <Chan> because you can't scout Texas Colony unless you are in Side 5
[14:31] <Zepp> 2e
[14:31] <Zepp> Do I need to go to Side 5?
[14:31] <Chan> yeah, cuz that's where Texas Colony is.
[14:31] <Zepp> Before going to texas?
[14:31] <Chan> yeah
[14:31] <Zepp> Ah. Okay.
[14:31] <Chan> hold off on the scouting thing then
[14:31] <Zepp> Could I do the false flag today then?
[14:32] <Zepp> Purgatario & the 2nd Resupply are in 2e
[14:35] <Chan> if you want you can do the False Flag on Purgatorio today. Make it a Guerrilla contract but keep yourself safe. That way the Guerrillas can die off and you can say it was a blotched attack.
[14:35] <Chan> But only one guerrilla contract.
[14:35] <Chan> you don't want to waste RP >_>
[14:36] <Zepp> Mmhm
[14:37] <Chan> I'll send you the 50 RP tomorrow update. You have my word.
[14:37] <Zepp> Sounds good.
[14:37] <Zepp> Ugh.
[14:37] <Zepp> But my RP will be off 50
[14:37] <Zepp> Do you think he'll notice?
[14:37] <Zepp> !
[14:37] <Chan> hmmm
[14:37] <Zepp> I'll send you 50 RP today
[14:38] <Zepp> Send 100 tomorrow
[14:38] <Zepp>
[14:38] <Chan> okay, if that works for you.
[14:38] <Zepp> It does~
[14:38] * Chan makes note in spreadsheet
[16:05] <Zepp> Action in!
[16:06] <Zepp> The guerillas will be coming in escape pods.
[16:06] <Zepp> So.. "Follow David Mass's Plan?"
[16:07] <Chan> I made a general thing about your Guerilla Contact and locking on the shuttles with my Listening Post but to let you go.
[16:07] <Zepp> I had the escape pods dock at Lucifer's Fury and get mowed down by your security forces
[16:08] <Zepp> Underlining that they're all on a doomed mission and will die to the last man :S
[16:08] <Chan> dude
[16:08] <Zepp> With Ball spiriting away
[16:08] <Chan> there's 4x Guerrillas against 2x Marines....
[16:08] <Chan> go with Purgatorio
[16:08] <Chan> there's 14x Marines there.
[16:08] <Zepp> The marines know the plans though.
[16:09] <Zepp> Err.. hm.
[16:09] <Chan> it's called advantage by numbers.
[16:09] * Zepp ponders
[16:09] <Chan> It's also easier too because A BASE can't CHASE YOU.
[16:09] <Zepp> Ah.
[16:10] <Zepp> What's your email?
[16:10] <Chan> ektrekker@gmail.com
[16:10] <Zepp> I'll email you my email and you could edit it to work for you?
[16:10] <Zepp> Or I could just sum it up by saying "Following Chan's plan"
[16:10] <Chan> can't you just paste it here?
[16:10] <Zepp> I suppose
[16:11] <Zepp> Purchase:
[16:11] <Zepp> 50 RP Guerilla Service (4x Guerilla help)
[16:11] <Zepp> Transfer
[16:11] <Zepp> 50 RP to Veronica Wu
[16:11] <Zepp> Current RP: 100 - 100 = 0 RP
[16:11] <Zepp> Action:
[16:11] <Zepp> Blackout ZEF, dock 4 guerilla groups in escape pods aboard Lucifer's Fury. Guerillas will get killed.
[16:11] <Zepp> David Mass is masquerading as an EFSF-hired rogue, but in reality is performing a false flag for Zeon's SAF under Veronica Wu.
[16:11] <Zepp> EFF alignment is expected to change to neutral for this job.
[16:11] <Zepp> Description:
[16:11] <Zepp> David will send 4 escape pods full of guerillas towards the Lucifer's Fury in the Zeon Expeditionary Force. They are pretending to be survivors from the L3 pirate raids, with correct authentication codes to match. They will want to meet with Veronica Wu to discuss this. (Blackout) After docking aboard the Lucifer's Fury, they will burst from the escape pods attack, only to be ambushed by Marines who are waiting for them. (Guerilla servic
[16:12] <Zepp> Mass will speed off in Ball K Type, never engaging in combat directly, nor bringing attention to himself.
[16:12] <Chan> okay, switch all of that from "Lucifer's Fury" and "ZEF" to "Purgatorio"
[16:12] <Zepp> Kay
[16:14] <Zepp> Purchase:
[16:14] <Zepp> 50 RP Guerilla Service (4x Guerilla help)
[16:14] <Zepp> Transfer
[16:14] <Zepp> 50 RP to Veronica Wu
[16:14] <Zepp> Current RP: 100 - 100 = 0 RP
[16:14] <Zepp> Action:
[16:14] <Zepp> Blackout Purgatario, dock 4 guerilla groups in escape pods in the hangar. Guerillas will get killed. David Mass is masquerading as an EFSF-hired rogue, but in reality is performing a false flag for Zeon's SAF under Veronica Wu.
[16:14] <Zepp> EFF alignment is expected to change to neutral for this job.
[16:14] <Zepp> Description:
[16:14] <Zepp> David will send 4 escape pods full of guerillas towards the Purgatario. They are pretending to be survivors from the L3 pirate raids, with correct authentication codes to match. They will want to meet with Purgatario's commander to discuss this. (Blackout) After docking, they will burst from the escape pods, only to be ambushed by Marines who are waiting for them. (Guerilla service) Veronica Wu, with advanced knowledge of this ruse, is e
[16:14] <Zepp> Mass will speed off in Ball K Type, never engaging in combat directly, nor bringing attention to himself.
[16:15] <Zepp> Does that work?
[16:15] <Chan> works close enough.
[16:16] <Zepp> Sent
[16:16] <Zepp> This is good, actually.
[16:16] <Zepp> If I can get my alignment to neutral, I can dock at Texas Colony after this
[16:16] <Zepp> And buy a ship, I think.
[16:16] <Zepp> Or make blackmage buy me one.
[16:16] <Zepp> :S
[16:16] <Chan> lol
[16:17] <Zepp> He seems to be having money problems
[16:17] <Zepp> All the RP for the next two weeks is already assigned
[16:17] <Zepp> Either that, or that's his excuse for not paying me
[16:17] <Zepp> xd
[16:17] <Chan> heh
[16:19] <Chan> Tomorrow I'll send you your RP. I won't forget.
[16:21] <Zepp> Kay
[16:21] <Zepp> Should I dock at Texas instead of scouting?
[16:22] <Zepp> Just so he doesn't get wise to the ruse
[16:22] <Chan> that's a good question.
[16:23] <Zepp> Or, I could head to 1e and rendezvous with Bollocks
[16:23] <Zepp> And embed myself there
[16:25] <Chan> give it some thought, it depends on how daring you are.
[16:25] <Chan> give it some thought, it depends on how daring you are.
[16:26] <Zepp> It's less daring to head for 1e
[16:27] <Zepp> Just make sure SAF doesn't chase me down before I get there~
[16:27] <Chan> David Mass (Zepp) would be doing a rogue attack on Purgatorio using a Guerrilla Contact. This is expected. The garrison at Purgatorio would be alerted. The Listening Post will detect the shuttles with the Guerrillas and coordinate efforts to destroy it. We will let David Mass escape.
[16:27] * Chan thumbs up
[16:28] <Zepp>
[16:28] <Chan> and here's an idea
[16:30] <Chan> actually wait, that's too risky.
[16:30] <Chan> Nvm.
[16:30] <Chan> I want to keep you alive.
[16:30] <Zepp>
