Sweet Mother of Kerensky (D15 EN, Yuri's Quarters)

[James Hall]

James is surprised. "What kind of research could you have done about them?"

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"The uniforms they were wearing belonged to the 331st regiment of the Star League Defense Force, that Regiment was badly decimated during the Amaris Civil war, and vanished sometime during the first succession war, either lost in space, destroyed, or left with General Kerensky's fleet. If they have recovered those uniforms then they have likely found a lostech cache that included the final resting place of that unit."

[James Hall]

"And the symbol of the Not-Named-Creature?"

[Dr. Reinhardt]

He shakes his head, "No idea, a unit mascot maybe, but not one I recognize, sorry I don't have all the answers"

[James Hall]

James frowns. He was hopeful that Reinhardt was right. "Unfortunately, I do."

[Dr. Reinhardt]

Raises an eyebrow and looks toward Yuri

[Yuri Creed]

Yuri followed the exchange in bemused silence, and then said, in a simple tone, "Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Who is coming, what 'unnamed creature' and for the love of God, why would I punch my best mech-tech? Is this something those pirates did?"

He sounded somewhere between amused and annoyed.

[James Hall]

"No. Not those dezgra filth. I come from a part of space I doubt you are familiar with. The custom might be strange to you. But it is a matter of honor. If I am claimed as isorla, then I have betrayed no one." James pondered. "Imagine for a second that I was a spy for my people. I would have to keep their secrets unless those bonds could be be broken in the righteous manner of people. Then, I could be your man alone." He points at the paper he brought. "They are monsters who have no problem nuking innocent civilizations. If it wasn't for them, I'd.... I'd just continue to wait gather information for my people until I could join them again and get Mata her proper birthright."

[Yuri Creed]

Yuri stared at him.

"Well, I might hit you if you keep talking nonsense, so that's something."

Glancing at Reinhardt, he added, "You got anything Doc, or do I just punch out my lead tech to see if it makes him start talking sense?"

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"In the last few hours a pirate jump point was activated in orbit of Illium III, a Jump ship launched three drop ships, 2 of them spheroid drop ships smaller then then Callico in tonnage, the third matches the stats of a Leopard, they are about 36 hours out from making land fall. 2 years ago, the Hyper Pulse Generator on this planet, attempting to detect Alien life in an unexplored part of space received a message from an unknown individual in a SLDF uniform, With some sort of Badger insignia that seems to have raised alarmed bells with Technician Hall."
