Y\u2019all better hold onto your helmets \u2018cause we\u2019ve got a lot of ground to cover today.

Know y\u2019all are itching to find out which one of us flew the fastest, but I\u2019m not gonna reveal who won the race just yet. What I can disclose is that Skinny is here in the studio ready and raring to break down exactly what happened.\n\nBut first, IAE officials in Kiel have released a statement saying the giant pilot holograms are back up and running at the main expo. They were offline for the past few days after someone hacked the holo-projector and replaced them with all kinds of crazy content I\u2019m not gonna explain here. The incident caused quite a stir as it took event staff a bit to shut down the holo-projector, allowing a large crowd to take vids of the unauthorized images and post them on spectrum.\n\nWhile no one has come forward to claim responsibility for the hack, a recent New United article claims that authorities have focused their attention on a self-proclaimed \u201csatirical visual artist and provocateur\u201d who\u2019s made a name by publicly displaying offensive holograms. The article notes several rumors fueling this speculation including that the artist in question, known only by the pseudonym \u201cBibi,\u201d was supposedly seen at the event in Kiel that day. IAE officials have refused to comment on the article and insist that they\u2019re working closely with Kiel law enforcement officials to find the perpetrator.\n\nLook, I don\u2019t know if this Bibi is the one who did it or not, but I sure hope they find whoever was responsible and ban \u2018em from future expos. The IAE is meant to bring the empire together, yet these holograms were clearly designed to rile people up, and to what end? Far as I can tell, there wasn\u2019t even a coherent political message behind it. Just an attempt to piss off as many people as possible.

Usually, hardworking ships like the MPUV get overlooked in popularity contests. Folks appreciate \u2018em but hardly honor \u2018em. That\u2019s why I got excited and urged folks to vote for the good ol\u2019 Argo Cargo. I know some felt like its Best in Show win was unwarranted, but I honestly couldn\u2019t think of a more deserving ship.\n\nTo those that think the MPUV is, as one person called it, \u201cAn ugly and unremarkable box made for transporting boxes,\u201d I ask what the hell\u2019s wrong with that? The ship was designed for a purpose and does it so damn well that it\u2019s been around for over 300 years and become a staple at landing zones across the Empire. Hell, most manufacturers would kill to create a ship as timeless and popular as the MPUV. Sure, it might not have a sleek and sexy look or be loaded with fancy features, but its role in expediting cargo around landing zones makes it one of the most important and essential ships in the UEE.

The RAFT, which stands for Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport, carries three standardized 32-SCU cargo crates that, in classic Argo fashion, can be quickly and easily loaded or unloaded. It also comes with hefty armor to deter attackers and comfortable living quarters suitable for two.

Skinny and I also agreed that the only changes we could make to the ship would be swapping out components. This made Skinny so confident that he even put his self-proclaimed and completely fictitious \u201cKing of Components\u201d title on the line. So, who holds that completely made-up title now?

Halten Sie besser Ihre Helme fest, denn wir haben heute eine Menge zu berichten. Allerdings nicht ann\u00e4hernd so viel, wie Skinny und ich bei unserem allerersten IAE-Satellitensprint zwischen der Hauptmesse in Kiel und dem Satelliten-Event auf der microTech zur\u00fcckgelegt haben. Ich wei\u00df, dass Sie unbedingt wissen wollen, wer von uns beiden am schnellsten geflogen ist, aber ich werde jetzt noch nicht verraten, wer das Rennen gewonnen hat. Was ich verraten kann, ist, dass Skinny hier im Studio ist und bereit ist, genau zu berichten, was passiert ist.\n\nDoch zun\u00e4chst haben die Verantwortlichen der IAE in Kiel eine Erkl\u00e4rung abgegeben, in der sie mitteilen, dass die riesigen Pilotenhologramme auf der Hauptausstellung wieder in Betrieb sind. Sie waren in den letzten Tagen offline, nachdem jemand den Holo-Projektor gehackt und sie durch alle m\u00f6glichen verr\u00fcckten Inhalte ersetzt hatte, die ich hier nicht erkl\u00e4ren werde. Der Vorfall sorgte f\u00fcr ziemliches Aufsehen, da die Mitarbeiter der Veranstaltung eine Weile brauchten, um den Holo-Projektor abzuschalten, so dass eine gro\u00dfe Menschenmenge Videos von den unautorisierten Bildern aufnehmen und auf Spektrum ver\u00f6ffentlichen konnte.\n\nZwar hat sich noch niemand gemeldet, der die Verantwortung f\u00fcr den Hack \u00fcbernommen hat, aber ein aktueller Artikel von New United behauptet, dass die Beh\u00f6rden ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf einen selbsternannten \"satirischen visuellen K\u00fcnstler und Provokateur\" gerichtet haben, der sich durch das \u00f6ffentliche Zeigen von anst\u00f6\u00dfigen Hologrammen einen Namen gemacht hat. Der Artikel verweist auf mehrere Ger\u00fcchte, die diese Spekulationen anheizen, darunter auch, dass der fragliche K\u00fcnstler, der nur unter dem Pseudonym \"Bibi\" bekannt ist, an diesem Tag auf der Veranstaltung in Kiel gesehen worden sein soll. Die Verantwortlichen der IAE haben es abgelehnt, den Artikel zu kommentieren und betonen, dass sie eng mit den Kieler Strafverfolgungsbeh\u00f6rden zusammenarbeiten, um den T\u00e4ter zu finden.\n\nIch wei\u00df nicht, ob dieser Bibi der T\u00e4ter ist oder nicht, aber ich hoffe, dass sie den Verantwortlichen finden und ihn von zuk\u00fcnftigen Ausstellungen ausschlie\u00dfen. Die IAE soll das Imperium zusammenf\u00fchren, doch diese Hologramme waren eindeutig dazu gedacht, die Menschen zu ver\u00e4rgern, und zu welchem Zweck? Soweit ich das beurteilen kann, steckte nicht einmal eine koh\u00e4rente politische Botschaft dahinter. Nur ein Versuch, so viele Menschen wie m\u00f6glich zu ver\u00e4rgern. Wenn Sie mich fragen, ist das einfach nur kindisch, wie eines der Kinder, mit denen Sie aufgewachsen sind und die andere Kinder mit einer Handvoll Aloprattenmist \u00fcber den Spielplatz gejagt haben.\n\nEntschuldigen Sie, dass ich mich so aufrege. Es ist nur wirklich schade, dass sich der Vorfall am selben Tag ereignete, an dem auf der Messe mehrere Spezialhersteller vorgestellt wurden, die normalerweise nicht im Rampenlicht stehen. Diese verdammten Hologramme wurden zum Hauptthema, anstatt, sagen wir, Argo, das ein unglaubliches Jahr hinter sich hat, nachdem es die RAFT, einen fantastischen neuen Frachter, herausgebracht hat und die MPUV zum diesj\u00e4hrigen Best in Show gek\u00fcrt wurde. Normalerweise werden hart arbeitende Schiffe wie das MPUV bei Beliebtheitswettbewerben \u00fcbersehen. Die Leute sch\u00e4tzen sie, aber ehren sie kaum. Deshalb habe ich mich aufgeregt und die Leute dazu aufgerufen, f\u00fcr die gute alte Argo Cargo zu stimmen. Ich wei\u00df, dass einige der Meinung sind, dass ihr Sieg in der Kategorie \"Best in Show\" ungerechtfertigt war, aber ich k\u00f6nnte mir ehrlich gesagt kein Schiff vorstellen, das es mehr verdient h\u00e4tte.\n\nDiejenigen, die der Meinung sind, das MPUV sei, wie ein Teilnehmer es nannte, \"eine h\u00e4ssliche und unscheinbare Kiste, die f\u00fcr den Transport von Kisten gemacht ist\", frage ich, was zum Teufel daran falsch ist? Das Schiff wurde f\u00fcr einen bestimmten Zweck entworfen und erf\u00fcllt diesen so verdammt gut, dass es seit \u00fcber 300 Jahren existiert und zu einem festen Bestandteil der Landezonen im gesamten Imperium geworden ist. Die meisten Hersteller w\u00fcrden daf\u00fcr t\u00f6ten, ein so zeitloses und beliebtes Schiff wie das MPUV zu bauen. Sicher, es sieht vielleicht nicht gerade schnittig und sexy aus oder ist mit ausgefallenen Funktionen ausgestattet, aber seine Rolle beim Transport von Fracht in den Landezonen macht es zu einem der wichtigsten und unverzichtbarsten Schiffe der UEE. Warum ist das nicht ein Grund zum Feiern? Meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach ist es das, und ich bin froh, dass das MPUV seinen Moment in der Sonne hatte. Das verdammte Ding hat es verdient, und die UEE w\u00e4re ohne es ein v\u00f6llig anderer Ort.\n\nUnd nachdem ich mit dem RAFT von der Hauptveranstaltung der IAE in Kiel bis zur Satellitenausstellung auf der MicroTech gefahren bin, bin ich hundertprozentig davon \u00fcberzeugt, dass Argo die Frachtbranche wieder einmal ver\u00e4ndert hat. Der RAFT, der f\u00fcr Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport steht, tr\u00e4gt drei standardisierte 32-SCU-Frachtkisten, die in klassischer Argo-Manier schnell und einfach be- und entladen werden k\u00f6nnen. Er ist au\u00dferdem stark gepanzert, um Angreifer abzuschrecken, und verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber komfortable Wohnr\u00e4ume f\u00fcr zwei Personen. Aber auch Solobetreiber k\u00f6nnen dieses Ding alleine betreiben, wie Skinny und ich bei unserem ersten IAE Satellite Sprint getestet haben.\n\nFalls Sie den Ablauf des Rennens in unserer letzten Folge nicht mitbekommen haben: Die freundlichen Leute von Argo haben sowohl Skinny als auch mir ein Standard-RAFT zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt, mit dem wir zwischen den beiden Ausstellungen hin und her rasen konnten. Auf dem Weg dorthin machte jeder von uns drei Stopps und nutzte den Traktorstrahl des RAFT, um Container ein- und auszuladen. Skinny und ich waren uns auch einig, dass die einzigen \u00c4nderungen, die wir an dem Schiff vornehmen konnten, das Austauschen von Komponenten sein w\u00fcrde. Das machte Skinny so zuversichtlich, dass er sogar seinen selbsternannten und v\u00f6llig fiktiven Titel \"K\u00f6nig der Komponenten\" aufs Spiel setzte. Wer h\u00e4lt nun also diesen v\u00f6llig erfundenen Titel? Und w\u00fcrde der allererste IAE-Satellitensprint von der Komponentenbest\u00fcckung, der Wahl der Flugroute oder der Beherrschung des Traktorstrahls abh\u00e4ngen?\n\nNun, Sie werden bis nach dieser kurzen Werbepause warten m\u00fcssen, um das herauszufinden. Wenn Clean Shot zur\u00fcckkehrt, wird Skinny zu mir sto\u00dfen, um endlich zu enth\u00fcllen, wer das gro\u00dfe Rennen gewonnen hat. Dann wird unser guter Freund und mit dem Silver Leaf ausgezeichneter Koch Cutty Crawford zu uns sto\u00dfen und \u00fcber seine Lieblingsgerichte in den IAE sprechen. Er ist bei uns auf der microTech und bereit, seine Snack-Hacks auf dem Messegel\u00e4nde mit uns zu teilen und uns zu verraten, welche Essenswagen man ansteuern und welche man meiden sollte. All das und mehr bei der R\u00fcckkehr von Clean Shot.","zh_CN":"Start Transmission\nCraig Burton here bringing you another installment of Clean Shot.
