Rain or shine, we’ve got the down low that all you haulers need to know. And, boy, has it been raining. Over the last week I have been in touch with people who had loved ones in New Corvo. I heard from some who were desperately looking to find folks who’d been making drops in the system. I heard from members of our community who knew starmen serving in the 2nd fleet. Some of the stories, thankfully, had happy ends. Sadly, as is often the case with the Vanduul, most did not. Skinny and I want to take a moment to say to all of you who may have lost someone in Vega that our hearts are there with you. And not only ours. I have been amazed — not that I should be, mind you. I know how great you all are, but even knowing that, I have been blown away by the sheer number of people who have contacted me eager to find a way to help those who have been hit by this awful tragedy. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Not about how to pay back the ’duul, or about how Bishop’s gonna get us victory. No, we’re going to talk about what people like you and me can do right now to help those in Vega who need it most. Let’s start simple. A Vega Relief Fund was established last week by charitable non-profit organization Operation Solace. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Operation Solace is my personal favorite charity. Some of you may remember that when I announced that my wife and I were going to have our little Mia May, I asked that rather than baby shower gifts you send donations to Operation Solace instead. They were founded by some dedicated vets who wanted to keep helping people when their service ended and they have an impeccable track record of using what they get responsibly. Currently, on top of the normal Credit donations, they are looking for people to send them what clothing and non-perishable food they can spare. Even though it’s less urgent, they also have a request out for new toys. A lot of scared children over there now, and a little bit of kindness can go a long way. I’m sure you all have been seeing the footage coming out of New Corvo, but I’ll say it anyway: these people need every bit of assistance they can get. In a true show of generosity, Cry-Astro has stepped up to partner with Operation Solace. They will be matching a percentage of the Credit donations, offering fuel discounts to relief haulers, and as of yesterday, have set up donation drop-off centers at all their service stations. Now, for those of you who looking to go that extra step, Clean Shot would like to welcome to the show Captain Taylor Mort, who has been flying her Caterpillar under a Merchant Navy banner for the past five years. Good to have to you, Captain. TAYLOR MORT: Good to be on the show, though I’m sorry it has to be under such unfortunate circumstances. I hear ya. To start, it’d be great if you explained what the Merchant Navy is to those who may not be as familiar with the organization. TAYLOR MORT: The UEE Merchant Navy is a fleet of civilian-owned vessels who are contracted by the Navy to transport cargo and passengers between worlds. And you just got back from doing a Vega run? TAYLOR MORT: Yeah, they’ve got us doing pretty much non-stop B&Fs, bringing in supplies and taking survivors out of system. How is it? TAYLOR MORT: It’s bad. I’ve been in some rough places, but this is … I mean Estilia was completely wiped out… You go to New Corvo and it’s hard to believe that it’s the same city. But it feels good to be bringing them food and whatnot. They even got us manually picking up comms from relays that got cut off from the grid during the attack. All these messages are just piling up on them waiting to be delivered, so they got us bringing those back through the jumps. As far as people, so far we’ve only been transporting a handful here and there. People stranded or injured people who need specialty care facilities. Had a group of orphans last Friday. You’d think everyone would be lining up to get out of there, but for the most part, people I’ve talked to want to stay and rebuild. Guess they’ve seen their fair share of Vanduul in the past. Nothing like this, but still, they’re a hard bunch. I’m always amazed by Humanity’s ability to bounce back from hardship. My father used to always say, “fastest way to get someone back up is to kick them.” Have you run into any more ‘duul while you’ve been out there? TAYLOR MORT: The system seems pretty quiet at the moment. To tell the truth, the biggest problem is getting there. Our main route takes us through Nul, which is no picnic, tell you that much. I’m sure flying a ’pillar helps with that. TAYLOR MORT: Damn straight. We can handle our own when we get in a tangle. It’s part of the job. Navy likes to see to it when you take a contract that you’ll be able to defend their goods and people. Funny thing though, I’d say we’re running into about a third of the problems that we’d normally come across on a run like this. I think the pirates know that we’re bringing supplies to Vega and in some way, they’re trying to do their part too. But maybe that’s me just reading too much into things. Heck, if an attack like this doesn’t bring Humanity together, not sure I know what else would. All right, I’m getting word that we’re going to have to take a break in a moment, but I wanted to get to something first. There was a particular reason why you wanted to come on the show today, right? TAYLOR MORT: Yeah, there was. I just wanted to put a call out to everyone to let them know that the Merchant Navy needs all the help they can get right now. We’ve got way too much work to do at the moment, and not nearly enough ships to do it. If you’ve got a vessel that can haul a fair amount and can stand its own in a fight, then we probably could use you. You can submit your ship regtags and start slotting for contracts on our Spectrum. It’s not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you, it’s some important work. Okay … when we come back, we’re going to talk more to Captain Taylor Mort about her time in Vega and learn how she’s outfitted her Caterpillar to make runs safer. All that on Clean Shot after these words from our sponsors. TRANSCRIPT BREAK ÜBERTRAGUNG STARTEN Hey alle, danke, dass ihr euch uns für den heutigen Clean Shot angeschlossen habt. Ob Regen oder Sonnenschein, wir haben alles, was Sie als Schlepper wissen müssen. Und, Junge, es hat geregnet. In der letzten Woche stand ich in Kontakt mit Menschen, die in New Corvo geliebte Menschen hatten. Ich hörte von einigen, die verzweifelt nach Leuten suchten, die Tropfen im System gemacht hatten. Ich hörte von Mitgliedern unserer Gemeinschaft, die Starmen kennen, die in der 2. Flotte dienen. Einige der Geschichten hatten glücklicherweise ein glückliches Ende. Leider, wie es bei den Vanduul oft der Fall ist, haben die meisten nicht. Skinny und ich möchten uns einen Moment Zeit nehmen, um euch allen, die ihr vielleicht jemanden in Vega verloren habt, zu sagen, dass unsere Herzen bei euch sind. Und nicht nur unsere. Ich war erstaunt - nicht, dass ich es sein sollte, wohlgemerkt. Ich weiß, wie großartig ihr alle seid, aber selbst wenn ich das weiß, wurde ich von der schieren Anzahl von Menschen, die sich mit mir in Verbindung gesetzt haben, um einen Weg zu finden, denen zu helfen, die von dieser schrecklichen Tragödie betroffen sind. Darüber werden wir also heute sprechen. Nicht darüber, wie man den Duul zurückzahlen kann, oder darüber, wie Bishop uns den Sieg bringen kann. Nein, wir werden darüber sprechen, was Leute wie du und ich im Moment tun können, um denen in Vega zu helfen, die es am meisten brauchen. Fangen wir einfach an. Ein Vega Relief Fund wurde letzte Woche von der gemeinnützigen Non-Profit-Organisation Operation Solace eingerichtet. Für diejenigen unter euch, die nicht vertraut sind, ist Operation Solace meine persönliche Lieblingsstiftung. Einige von euch erinnern sich vielleicht daran, dass ich, als ich ankündigte, dass meine Frau und ich unsere kleine Mia May bekommen würden, darum gebeten habe, dass ihr statt Baby-Duschgeschenke stattdessen Spenden an die Operation Solace schickt. Sie wurden von einigen engagierten Tierärzten gegründet, die den Menschen helfen wollten, wenn ihr Dienst beendet war, und sie haben eine tadellose Erfolgsbilanz in der Verwendung dessen, was sie erhalten, verantwortungsbewusst. Z.Z. zusätzlich zu den normalen Kreditspenden, suchen sie nach Leuten, um ihnen zu schicken, welche Kleidung und unverderbliche Lebensmittel sie entbehren können. Obwohl es weniger dringend ist, haben sie auch eine Anfrage nach neuem Spielzeug. Viele ängstliche Kinder da drüben, und ein wenig Freundlichkeit kann einen langen Weg gehen. Ich bin sicher, dass ihr alle das Filmmaterial von New Corvo gesehen habt, aber ich sage es trotzdem: Diese Leute brauchen jedes bisschen Hilfe, das sie bekommen können. In einer wahren Demonstration von Großzügigkeit hat sich Cry-Astro entschlossen, sich mit der Operation Solace zusammenzuschließen. Sie werden einen Prozentsatz der Guthabenspenden aufbringen und den Hilfsschleppern Treibstoffrabatte anbieten und haben seit gestern an allen ihren Tankstellen Spendenabgabestellen eingerichtet. Nun, für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die diesen zusätzlichen Schritt machen wollen, möchte Clean Shot Captain Taylor Mort in der Show begrüßen, der ihre Caterpillar seit fünf Jahren unter einem Merchant Navy Banner fliegt. Schön, dass Sie da sind, Captain. TAYLOR MORT: Schön, in der Show zu sein, aber es tut mir leid, dass es unter so unglücklichen Umständen sein muss. Ich verstehe dich. Um zu beginnen, wäre es toll, wenn Sie denen, die vielleicht nicht so vertraut mit der Organisation sind, erklären würden, was die Handelsmarine ist. TAYLOR MORT: Die UEE Merchant Navy ist eine Flotte von zivilen Schiffen, die von der Marine beauftragt werden, Fracht und Passagiere zwischen den Welten zu transportieren. Und du bist gerade von einem Vega-Lauf zurückgekommen? TAYLOR MORT: Ja, sie haben uns dazu gebracht, so ziemlich ununterbrochen B&Fs zu machen, Vorräte einzubringen und Überlebende aus dem System zu holen. Wie ist es? TAYLOR MORT: Es ist schlimm. Ich war an einigen rauen Stellen, aber das ist... Ich meine, Estilia wurde komplett ausgelöscht... Du gehst nach New Corvo und es ist schwer zu glauben, dass es die gleiche Stadt ist. Aber es fühlt sich gut an, ihnen Essen und so weiter zu bringen. Sie haben uns sogar dazu gebracht, manuell Befehle von Relais abzuholen, die während des Angriffs vom Netz getrennt wurden. All diese Nachrichten stapeln sich nur darauf, dass sie darauf warten, zugestellt zu werden, also haben sie uns dazu gebracht, sie durch die Sprünge zurückzubringen. Was die Menschen betrifft, so haben wir bisher nur eine Handvoll hier und da transportiert. Gestrandete oder verletzte Menschen, die spezielle Pflegeeinrichtungen benötigen. Ich hatte letzten Freitag eine Gruppe von Waisenkindern. Man sollte meinen, dass jeder Schlange stehen würde, um da rauszukommen, aber in den meisten Fällen wollen die Leute, mit denen ich gesprochen habe, bleiben und wieder aufbauen. Ich schätze, sie haben ihren gerechten Anteil an Vanduul in der Vergangenheit gesehen. Nichts dergleichen, aber trotzdem sind sie ein harter Haufen. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt über die Fähigkeit der Menschheit, sich aus der Not zurückzubewegen. Mein Vater sagte immer: "Der schnellste Weg, jemanden wieder hochzukriegen, ist, ihn zu treten." Bist du noch mehr Duul begegnet, während Du da draußen warst? TAYLOR MORT: Das System scheint im Moment ziemlich ruhig zu sein. Um die Wahrheit zu sagen, das größte Problem ist, dorthin zu gelangen. Unsere Hauptroute führt uns durch Nul, was kein Picknick ist, sagen Ihnen das. Ich bin sicher, dass das Fliegen einer Säule dabei hilft. TAYLOR MORT: Verdammt richtig. Wir können mit unseren eigenen klarkommen, wenn wir uns in einem Gewirr befinden. Das gehört zum Job. Die Marine kümmert sich gerne darum, wenn Sie einen Vertrag abschließen, dass Sie in der Lage sein werden, ihre Waren und Personen zu verteidigen. Lustige Sache zwar, würde ich sagen, dass wir auf ungefähr ein Drittel der Probleme stoßen, die wir normalerweise auf einem Durchlauf wie diesem stoßen würden. Ich denke, die Piraten wissen, dass wir Lieferungen nach Vega bringen, und in gewisser Weise versuchen sie auch ihren Teil dazu beizutragen. Aber vielleicht bin ich es, der einfach zu viel in die Dinge hineinliest. Verdammt, wenn ein Angriff wie dieser die Menschheit nicht zusammenbringt, bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich weiß, was sonst noch passieren würde. In Ordnung, ich höre, dass wir in einem Moment eine Pause einlegen müssen, aber ich wollte zuerst zu etwas kommen. Es gab einen besonderen Grund, warum du heute in die Show kommen wolltest, oder? TAYLOR MORT: Ja, das gab es. Ich wollte nur einen Aufruf an alle richten, um ihnen mitzuteilen, dass die Handelsmarine alle Hilfe braucht, die sie im Moment bekommen kann. Wir haben im Moment viel zu viel zu tun, und nicht annähernd genug Schiffe, um es zu tun. Wenn du ein Schiff hast, das einen beträchtlichen Betrag schleppen kann und im Kampf bestehen kann, dann könnten wir dich wahrscheinlich gebrauchen. Sie können Ihre Schiffsregistrierungen einreichen und mit dem Slotting für Verträge auf unserem Spectrum beginnen. Es ist nicht für jeden, aber wenn du denkst, dass es für dich sein könnte, ist es eine wichtige Arbeit. Okay.... wenn wir zurückkommen, werden wir mehr mit Captain Taylor Mort über ihre Zeit in Vega sprechen und erfahren, wie sie ihre Caterpillar ausgestattet hat, um Läufe sicherer zu machen. All das auf Clean Shot nach diesen Worten unserer Sponsoren. TRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH START TRANSMISSION Hey all, thanks for joining us for today’s Clean Shot.
