Recorded Shipboard Conversation Dated and Tracked to MHC-R3 VI Orbit, Dumped to Multiple GalNet Boards Across The Cluster, YC126.10.28
??: Holos really don’t do it justice do they?
??: hahaha, no it really doesn’t. The scale of that thing is insane, and you just don’t get it until you’re looking at it bare eyed. See that flicker over there?
??: yeah I see it.
??: If I had to guess that’s another Gwennan Block 4 being launched.
??: God above. Those are what, 10 Kilometers?
??: Close to it. The Ring’s a monument to man’s hubris in the face of god and the stars.
??: Guess it makes sense why CONCORD was trying to burn it before it finished when it was still in… what was that Gallente backwater, Eugiles?
??: Eugales, and if it had been finished in Eugales, would have been bigger still. MHC-R3 VI is 7000km in radius. Eugales VI is 16,000km.
??: And now those Warminds and other clanks they’ve got working with them aren’t hiding their capabilities…
??: nope, they’re ripping materials out of the asteroid belts and dead worlds across system by the freighter. Those lava worlds and barrens especially are getting megastrip mined by the gigaton, and they’ve got dozens of wildcat crews chunking through the Outer Object Halo and gas giant ring ice balls. Think at least one Ice Moon is also being steadily ripped.
??: That why SARO keeping their distance?
??: Too prickly to try to bludgeon out now, but also no longer directly in CONCORD jurisdiction. Heard word they’ve hit and torn down a few smaller outposts in system, made some ships disappear. At least one record of engagement from Clone Pilots against a Task Group nosing about near Planet III.
??: Kinda surprised The Deathless hasn’t tried to aim the Guristas this way yet.
??: Way I hear it, the boss lady of this project is in good with them, but no way to prove it, so they’ve mostly stayed away.
??: Seems she’s got her fingers in many pies.
??: Too many, in my opinion.
??: So, why’s J-----o got us here?
??: Intel gathering probably
??: Careful the women, they’ve got an aggressive streak.
??: Technically, they are more or less genderless.
??: …Look, almost all of them look like women, I’m calling them all women.
??: just be careful of that.
??: ■■■■ you.
