Defection

Defection

EVENT OVERVIEW

“	While Kobus purports to offer truce, Aerico's design conveys his true intentions; [sic] to spread blight and destruction. The inhabitants of Altair view us as a threat, associating us with Bishop and the power struggle permeating through Umbra. While I would advise all rebels to stay away from Deep Space, I know the prospects out there will be too enticing to ignore for many of you, so take heed. It's every rebel for themselves.	”
	— Burr

EVENT QUOTES

DEFECTION - BEFORE EVENT

“	7/31/2019 I am Evi'tah, High Priestess of Altair, the reincarnated healer of blight. We have been tracing your communication network since we intercepted On-wah's signal. Many invading forces have perished at the hands of my Divine Army. The deserters your feeble species have aligned yourselves with cannot help you here. Ny'tah knows what will happen if they return. Stand down or die!	”
	— Evi'tah

DEFECTION - BEFORE EVENT

“	8/1/2019 We now know for certain Bishop has defected so I'm issuing a bounty for his capture; returned dead or alive with an emphasis on the "DEAD". He has already found a way to aggravate the inhabitants of Altair who are not going to make it easy for us to find him. So to help with the capture, I am releasing blueprints for Aerico. I implore any mercenaries willing to take on this mission to do so.	”
	— Kobus Chiron

DEFECTION - AFTER EVENT

“	8/6/2019 Nytah [sic], Keres here. I know you want Bishop as bad as I do. He has wronged us all. He killed your brother but I want to be the one to end him and repay him for the torture I endured. Stay out of my way and I will gladly bring you his head.	”
	— Keres VII
