Aye aye. On route. See ya real soon.

Begin Recording.

Currently plans are in motion for Phoenix Rise. My pilots are in a less than perfect state but they will suffice for this operation.

Morse if everything goes as expected will be paralyzed to act with the continued loss of her news teams along with current developments on the Omninet.

JAAAAAYYYYYY

Yes?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO KILL HER?

Only if she gets in our way. For now. We avoid her. Let her go mad with our actions and prepare for the worst from our current employer.

BUT

Enough.

End the recording

OKAY OH OOPS-

[shot-glass-speedloader]

They'll throw you away soon as they're done usin' you, I reckon. Only difference 'tween them and Signal in that regard is how tight the leash is. They don't give a damn where I am or what I'm doin' s'long as I'm mission ready when I need to be. Doubt ya got that much say while on yer fancy "probation."

And when the time comes and we're both tossed to the wolves, I won't matter enough to Signal to warrant a second thought. You though? Union'll throw yer ass in a hole somewhere.

I have a... few questions for you.

You could've turned yourself in, awaited prosecution, and walked away. As far as I'm aware, you didn't do anything particularly heinous and probably would've walked.

So, why throw in with a war criminal? You're a skilled sniper, and the New Division could use your talents. Stable income, a sanctioned outlet for your talents, the ability to terminate your contract at any time, a retirement plan, reliable teammates... so why a war criminal?

Uh. Hun. Did you miss the part where I (allegedly) gunned down my whole squad? Who thought I was on their side? Shot 'em in the back of two of their heads before the third and fourth could even react?

DOJ/HR wants me thrown in a hole with the rest of the murderers. 'Swhat happens when you lose a war.

I'M the one gettin' smack talked here?!?

I AINT EVEN GOT A DAMN CLUE WHO THAT IS?????

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FIND ME???

I gotta fuckin' move again

Better the hell you know than a heaven you don’t understand huh?

Really I’m not envious of human condition. If I was in your state (god but wasn’t I (no)) I’d wipe the slate clean in a heartbeat. Get rid of all that fear. But you (pretend you) can’t.

Hope the taste of cigars never sours (all you have left?)(like my opinion counts).

NHPs are bein' mean to me on the omni dot net.

Jadwiga, I gotta say... you spin a mighty fine yarn. But here's the difference between yer offer to me and Mx. Murphy's: I know what they'll do. As long as I'm useful, they'll pay me, gimme places to hide, ammo. And if I stop bein' useful, they'll cut me loose. I know where I stand with 'em.

They ain't askin' me to trust 'em. You are. And that's a mighty tall goddamn ask. Last time I tr-

I don't trust. I don't.

This sure is a damn impasse.

Problem #1: IF I give out a pickup location, I can't be sure I won't walk within a country mile of the place and get my head blown off by someone who hates my guts, or just get hogtied by the DoJ.

Problem #2: I want my goddamn duck back.

Things found in today's Search and Rescue:

- a rubber duck with a cowboy hat

- three strange copper coins

- a hairclip

- a really fucked up and dented wrench

- four bananas, still fresh (and edible, according to Mira)

- a fully disassembled firearm

- one shoe

- a paracausal marker (confiscated)

- a half-eaten sandwich (baloney, tomato, and...jam? Strawberry jam???)

Sometimes one finds the most bizarre things out in space.

After everything, are you people actually trying to he-

No! The fuck you are! I know a goddamn trap when I see one!!! You think I'm fuckin' stupid? I know I can't trust Signal. I know they don't actually give a shit about me. But at least they don't fuckin' PRETEND to.

I know aint nobody really gonna help me but me, and workin' with Signal is the best way to do that fer now.

Supposin' I believe ya, sweetheart, I got more problems than DOJ/HR. You got any clue the debts I've racked up? The people I've pissed off, friends of my old squad included? I'd say four in every five fellers that know my name want me dead. I need money, and I need protection.

And if I did desert, you think I'd trust yall to keep me safe from SIGNAL??? After what I've seen 'em do? After yall couldn't keep 'em locked up in the first place?

Fuckin' laughable.

I'm doin' what I gotta do to survive, just like always.

Yeah. I know damn well. Hence why I said solar system.

I didn't know what in the hell an enkidu was before I met Signal and frankly I was happier before I knew.

And that one is a special kinda fucked. Not Signal fucked. But fucked.

hey uh cigarette is ur boss and u made Miss Morse cry so I'm gonna tear u into little tiny pieces ok?

I ain't never lettin' you within a goddamn solar system a' me you little fuckin' freak

I'm sure my squad thought the same damn thing. Dead is dead. Ya think it changes because you did it for some ideal?

Whatever. Get yerself killed. Waste yourself on this. Part a' me hoped you'd listen to reason and run but I knew it'd never happen. So damn idealistic.

For the record, I ain't grown the whole time you've known me. This is who I've been the whole time. You didn't let the squad down. You didn't let me down. I just don't wanna bite it, Morse, and I don't wanna live hiding in squalor, neither.

I really hope I'm not there when you die.

Pinkerton...

I spent months looking for you.

Even with the blood on your hands, blood of my pilots.... I spent so long searching for every last potential survivor of that... tha... that fucking war.

Because I had hope that you would have regretted it.

And I see a report on my desk.... That you're alive. And in cahoots with them.... why? And don't give me that winning side argument! Don't just.... lie.... don't just throw away your life.

Did those years at CORSAIR mean nothing!?

DID IT MEAN NOTHING?

I WATCHED YOUR SQUAD GROW AS PEOPLE!

I WATCHED YOU GROW PINKERTON!

I....

I was there for the highs and lows....

I saw it all....

Why.... why throw it away with someone who uses the words of CORSAIR as a joke?

I need to know....

Did it mean nothing?

Was my work not enough?

Did I let your squad down?

What.... what.... what led you to trust Conal Murphy?

//Morse\\

Morsey? Aw hell...

Ya think I don't regret it? That pointless betrayal? 'Course I do. I lost anyway.

But I thought I was gonna die, Morse. My squad stayed loyal to you, even when you were marchin' to yer death. They were ready to follow you straight into the meat grinder. Fight against Signal and fuckin' Commodore. I like you, Morsey. Always did. You're a fine woman. A better woman than me. But I don't like you enough to die for ya. Ain't nobody I like that much.

So I killed 'em. Spent four years with that squad and ended it with four bullets. Hardest thing I've ever done. And it wasn't even damn worth it.

But ya know what? Monarchists lost due to blind fuckin' luck. How the fuck do you think you beat Haven and Murphy otherwise? But luck runs out. Murphy busted out, 'cause of course they did. And what, you think yer ragtag group of newsies can stop 'em for good this time? Get real. Give it up and run 'fore you get hurt.

Nothing led me to trust Conal Murphy, Aimee. Ain't nobody I trust. Nobody. My options were turn myself in at the nearest DOJ/HR office, live underground in squalor, or throw in with Signal and win. Win and be comfortable doin' it.

For what it's worth, I really wish it hadn't come to this.
