Narr bl\u00e4st die Luke und sprengt alles, was sich mit einem brennend hei\u00dfen B0otyCall zum Sch\u00e4del bewegt.\n\nIch muss zugeben, 2947 hat einen schlechten Start hingelegt. Ich nehme meinen Rucksack wirklich durch die Wringer. Etwas peinlich wirklich, aber wenn ich meine unerw\u00e4hnten Dinge nicht auf meiner eigenen \u00dcbertragung aussch\u00fctteln kann, was ist dann der Punkt? Okay, hier ist es - es stellte sich heraus, dass dein schlauer Freund Jester sich ein Kopfgeld auf den Kopf gesetzt hat.\n\nEs w\u00e4re eine Sache, wenn es um einen meiner guten Jobs ginge. Wei\u00dft du, eine der Partituren, bei denen ich hier immer auf der H\u00f6he bin. Aber die verdammte Sache ist, ich wurde f\u00fcr eine \u00fcberf\u00e4llige Landegeb\u00fchr gefingert, die ich vor zwei Jahren \u00fcbersprungen habe. Es stellte sich heraus, dass ich versehentlich einen alten Decknamen in Asura benutzt hatte, den ich verbrennen wollte. Nun, ich bin nicht neu in dieser Sache, also hatte ich zum Gl\u00fcck alle meine Warnungen vorbereitet. Sobald die Flagge den zweiten Kanal hochging, lie\u00df ich sofort das Gesicht fallen, aber bis dahin war es zu sp\u00e4t. Der Doggerel hatte den Duft.\n\nDieser unerschrockene Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger blieb mir etwa drei Wochen lang hinterher. \u00dcberall, wo ich mich umdrehte, boomte es, da war der R\u00e4cher dieses Bastards, der gro\u00df auftauchte. Ich konnte nicht mal den Reisetag richtig feiern. Ich sprang auf vier Systeme und war immer noch nicht in der Lage, den kleinen Klunker zu entfernen. Zum Teufel, wenn ich wei\u00df, warum der Bastard so entschlossen war. Es war eine ziemlich gro\u00dfe Landegeb\u00fchr, aber trotzdem war die Belohnung f\u00fcr die Prise kaum den Treibstoffverbrauch wert. Ich stelle dar, dass es ein eifriger Empork\u00f6mmling gewesen sein muss, der versucht, irgendeinen Repr\u00e4sentanten zu erwerben.\n\nVor schlie\u00dflich verloren die Spur zwei Tagen dank eines schnellen Verkaufs der Falschheit an ein paar Kinder, die auf dem Markt f\u00fcr einen Ausweis waren. Normalerweise w\u00fcrde ich nie ein verdorbenes Reg verkaufen, aber diese kleinen Pissants hatten mich einen Job einen Monat oder zwei Monate gekostet, als sie einen einfachen Lift vermasselten. Ich dachte, ich k\u00f6nnte mich um zwei V\u00f6gel mit der gleichen Kugel k\u00fcmmern.\n\nApropos Kinder, kannst du glauben, dass sie die Kraft hatten, den NovaRider-Mantel zu \u00fcbernehmen? Wo kommen sie her? Wir sprechen von einem Haufen Minzbonbons, die kaum den Verstand hatten, einen Fluganzug zwischen ihnen anzuziehen, und sie denken, dass sie es wert sind, NovaRiders genannt zu werden? Ich sch\u00e4tze, das ist es, was man bekommt, wenn eine Generation durch das Spielen einer Simulation lernt, ein Pirat zu sein. Diskreditierung des Namens.\n\nObwohl der Name, um ehrlich zu sein, bereits diskreditiert war, als er in Arena Commander auftauchte. K\u00f6nnen Sie glauben, dass diese Codew\u00f6rter von Original Systems die stolze Tradition des Outlaw f\u00fcr pers\u00f6nlichen Gewinn und Gewinn gestohlen haben? Was sich jetzt, da ich es laut sage, wie eine Sache anh\u00f6rt, die ein Gesetzloser tun w\u00fcrde, aber trotzdem, das Prinzip, wei\u00dft du?\n\nIch denke, es ist mindestens zwanzig Jahre her, seit es das letzte Mal eine echte legitime NovaRider-Bande gab, die die Herzen der sanftm\u00fctigen Menschen mit Angst erf\u00fcllt hat. Diese Rider waren das einzig Wahre und mehr. Sie w\u00fcrden schreiende Thrash-Musik auf allen Frequenzen einflie\u00dfen lassen, also, als die schlechten Noten um Hilfe baten, war alles, was sie h\u00f6ren w\u00fcrden, D-Struct, der ihren Kopf abl\u00e4st. Wei\u00dft du, dass ein Senator zu der Zeit tats\u00e4chlich versucht hat, ihre Musik f\u00fcr eine Weile zu verbieten? Nichts macht eine ausverkaufte Konzerttour so gut wie ein Knopfdruck, der jedem sagt, dass dein Sound \"zu gef\u00e4hrlich\" ist.\n\nUnd dann waren da noch die T\u00f6lpel, die unter dem NovaRider-Banner vor ihnen pl\u00fcnderten. Wirkliches Tief des Tiefpunktes. Nun, diese Rider waren daf\u00fcr bekannt, dass sie nur Kreuzer schlagen. Sie w\u00fcrden immer einen von ihren eigenen haben, der inkognito mit dem Rest der Passagiere an Bord reist, und dann, auf halbem Weg durch den Flug, tauchten ihre Freunde auf und klopften drau\u00dfen und sie w\u00e4ren freundlich genug, die T\u00fcr zu \u00f6ffnen. Das Beste daran war, dass sie immer alle nackt an Bord gelassen haben. Dachte, es kaufte ihnen ein paar zus\u00e4tzliche Minuten, da die Advos normalerweise aufh\u00f6ren w\u00fcrden, ein wenig zu gaffen, um das Schmackhafte zu betrachten.\n\nWei\u00dft du, ich erinnere mich jetzt daran, dass einige von euch glatten, frechen Typen denken k\u00f6nnten, dass NovaRiders tats\u00e4chlich zuerst von AC kam, was, wenn du mich fragst, eine Trag\u00f6die von Vega-Proportionen ist. Ich sch\u00e4tze, es liegt an mir, die Massen zu erziehen. Versammelt euch, Kinder, f\u00fcr eure Geschichtsstunde der Woche.\n\nDie Wahrheit ist, dass die NovaRiders die erste Bande waren, die jemals die schwarze Flagge gezeigt hat. Sehen Sie, vor langer Zeit kostete ein Schiff so viele Creds, dass - eigentlich sch\u00e4tze ich, es w\u00e4ren CTRs gewesen... oder waren sie damals noch auf Dollar? Das spielt keine Rolle. Der Punkt ist, sie waren so teuer, dass nur Corps und Bougebags sie sich leisten konnten, und so w\u00fcrden alle Killer von Stationen und H\u00e4fen aus operieren. Das Schiff landete auf der Suche nach einer Entladung, einige freundliche Leute in Masken warteten mit Waffen, um sie zu begr\u00fc\u00dfen, und das war's dann. Bis die NovaRiders alles ge\u00e4ndert haben.\n\nSehen Sie, die Rider waren die ersten Gesetzlosen, die jemals ein Raumschiff im Flug getroffen haben. Sie haben alle aus dem H\u00e4uschen gehalten, als es passierte. Kannst du dir den Ausdruck auf dem Gesicht des ersten Piloten vorstellen? Dort fliegen sie herum und denken, dass sie sicher sind, wenn aus dem Nichts ein Schiff voller b\u00f6ser Fische hereinkommt und sie f\u00fcr alles nimmt, was sie wert sind.\n\nIch sage dir eine Sache, ich wette, es war damals viel einfacher zu verdienen. Nicht wie jetzt, wo jedes Slowboat da drau\u00dfen Trip-Repeats und genug Raketen hat, um einen Planeten zu zerst\u00f6ren. Nat\u00fcrlich sage ich das, aber auf der positiven Seite habe ich zumindest andere Gesetzlose, die die Beamten ablenken, wenn ich in Schwierigkeiten bin. Die NovaRiders haben nicht sehr lange gehalten. Nachdem er eine Handvoll Jobs abgezogen und die Verantwortlichen zum Teufel geschickt hat, wechselt das Milit\u00e4r, das danach strebt, dass sich jeder wieder gut f\u00fchlt. Harte Schnittwunde, keine NovaRider mehr. Zumindest f\u00fcr ein paar Jahre.\n\nEs dauerte nicht lange, bis eine andere Gruppe den Namen benutzte. Irgendwie wurde es zur Tradition. Alle paar Jahre nahm eine neue Gruppe es auf sich, weiterzumachen. Es gab zumindest -\n\n[ Ann\u00e4herungsalarm]\n\n... Auf keinen Fall zum Teufel... Was ist mit diesem Kerl los!? Verdammt noch mal.\n\n[ Motoren starten]\n\nIch schw\u00f6re, wenn ich herausfinde, dass diese miesen NovaRider-Punks mich verraten haben, wird das n\u00e4chste, was ich ihnen verkaufe, eine Kugel ins Gehirn sein.\n\nB0otyCall out!","zh_CN":"<< ERROR\u2026\u2026\u2026>>\n<< COMM\/SEC INTERRUPT \/\/\n\/\/ UNAUTH SIGNAL >>\n< SIGNAL FOUND >\n< START TRANSMISSION >\nThe signal is live, so prepare to be boarded.
