Addendum to Lt.Jr. Assassino’s report, by Lt.Jr. Mundy, TSN Hawk:
The two stage 1 Biomechs did not respond to hails, and appeared at first to maintain their original course. TSN Hawk followed without engaging.
Upon receiving a transmission from TSN Phoenix that the Biomechs were attacking her, Hawk moved in to assist. The Biomechs were dispatched.Shortly thereafter, a Biomech Stage 4 came into sensor range, on course for the location where the two Stage 1 Biomechs were last tracked. It was broadcasting a transmission that was interpreted by Hawk’s comms systems as: “Question: why children. Curious Freedom Tolerate”
//Thanks for the screen capture, I didn’t manage it and was relying on memory. Would it be possible to edit the report to put in the transmission verbatim?
//Or I could do this instead: //
Addendum to Lt.Jr. Mundy’s report:
From TSN Hawk comms systems records, the Stage 4 Biomech transmission was as follows:Q25

//Out of character, as I’m a dead traitor who shouldn’t even be here.
The “Freedom, curious, tolerate” is pretty standard when it comes to biomechs, as a response to the “we’re not your enemy” message. Interestingly enough, those messages are on the same file as taunts, although at least I have no idea how they work with them.
I believe the second message, transmited by an adult one, translates more closely to “why were my children harmed?”, as a reference to the couple of stage-one killed a while before.
//Yes, I had noticed the Freedom Curious Tolerate response before. And I agree with you about the meaning of the second part of the message. But it would be inappropriate for Mundy to speculate about the meaning in a formal report, so she’s sticking to the objective facts. The speculation will turn up in her personal log.
Now back to the cold blackness of space with you, you dead traitor! 🙂
//You’re absolutely correct. I should have realized that much.
The afterlife’s great, though.
// Not so much an afterlife, more a sort of après-vie… as Douglas Adams said.
