Talan, Neutral Soldier based in Newland
I was in Hope when the ship came roaring down and over the town, I felt the impact several kilometers away from my place away on the walls of Hope, let me tell you, that thing in came in fast and hot, they must of been running from something. Be it Clan, Omni, Sol, other corporation, or a non-human-intelligent-life-form.
Myself and Rorahald, my (Neutral) trader client who I was guarding at the time, had planned on investigating until the Sentinels came pouring out the Whompa acting like they owned the place, deciding that discretion was the better part of valor we held back and kept our heads down, no-need to get in the way of Simon's boys, and get perforated.
On the subject of Aliens, I don't see how any credible scientist can say that there is no such thing when what we know about the universe in general is so minuscule.
One does have to wonder why Omni-Tek is so ready to admit that one of its scout ships got downed by clan force though. Doesn't that strike anyone else as odd?
