Transcript Excerpt Two: Radio Raiders

We rocked a fucking ringworld to death, (Explosion Sound Effect) now we're doing it to the whole damn galaxy! (Guitar Sting) This is Buzzard Buccaneer Radio, the official home of Fortune, Glory and Rock N' Roll!

[Song: Breaking the Law]

Judas Priest, with what we do every fucking blessed day, "Breaking the Law!" And man are we ever today! Our little assault on the Iruiru Armory Plant is underway right now and we are fucking massacring those eight-foot bitches. I know this broadcast is scrambled so those fuckers can't pick it up for security reasons, but I really hope they're somehow receiving this. How's it feel to get your ass owned by humans and a bunch of stinking space pirates you warrior cult shits? Bet it fucking stings hard! HA HA! Dammit listeners, it feels good to be back in the game, doesn't it? Oh, shit, we got a call all of a sudden. Let's see who is is. You're on with Boz, what's happening?

Yeah this is Keth, long range unit, I'm in the thick of it right fucking now! One second... (Weapons Fire) Yeah! Fucking eat it you Covenant fucks! I gotta tell ya, Boz, it feels so good to be killing these sangheili bitches and taking their shit! I'm gonna get me one of their plasma rifles as a trophy! Motherfuckers got it coming after what they did to our boys on that stupid ringworld! Oh shit, got some other bastard who wants to be a fucking hero! You wanna go to paradise? I'll fucking send you there bitches! (Weapons Fire) HA HA! His head just got lit the fuck up! We got this shit by the ass people! Waste them all! No fucking survivors! (Cheers in background)

Keep up the good work, Keth. You are a model employee of this enterprise. We're going to keep broadcasting the raid until we got this shit locked down or we're blown the fuck up! I wouldn't worry about the latter though, we're too damn hardcore to die! And just for Keth, here's a song to go along with his little battlecry. Megadeth, "Take No Prisoners!"

[Song: Take No Prisoners]

You're listening to BBR, Buzzard Buccaneer Radio. Take What you Can, Give NOTHING Back!

[Song: Seek & Destroy]

"Seek & Destroy" by the band Metallica, love these guys, they just had raw power in every note of their sound. Sorry to interrupt the tunes again, but I've just gotten reports that, yes, the security ships are dead and burning in the void. They got nothing left to defend themselves now, boys. The cargo is as good as ours. Way to go, Retz, you killed those fuckers real good. Now just so everyone else knows what else is going on, we got some reports coming in off the channels from all points of the attack. The ODSTs have the communications on lockdown, so no one is going to go crying to mommy anytime soon. Drop Troopers can get it done, guess they aren't all talk after all. Not to say our four-eyed buddies are slacking off, we got one of them on the line right now. Sergeant Revtok, you're on the air. How's it down the shaft?

At this point it's just mop up, the Covenant have a few remaining stragglers around but they'll be irrelevant soon enough. You can expect a fireworks show shortly. Going to look really pretty too, heh.

I trust everything went well then?

Few hiccups, but nothing we couldn't handle. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first about the Normandy's crew members going in with us, but they actually pulled their weight. That krogan was half the reason we got this far. He's a monster, sure, but he's on our side so I guess that's a good thing for once. Saw him practically cave a sangheili's head in with his foot when he jumped from the shuttle on insertion. He calls it a krogan airdrop! I've always known those reptiles were insane, but I didn't realize they were also effective.

Hey, a few unorthodox tactics go a long way, believe me.

Still a tough fight. We weren't expecting the bugs to be here. One nearly tore through my face mask. I was just lucky the bayonet on my shotgun was tough enough to pierce his exoskeleton. That gave him something to chew on, literally. Good news, I'm not dead. Bad news, I'm going to be showering for the next two days. I'm covered in fucking bug brains!

Yeah, those insects are assholes that's for sure. It does sound like a grueling fight though, glad you made it out okay.

There wasn't any doubt, we're batarian. The Covenant have just learned why that's reason enough to fear us. Lieutenant Commander Varvok will lead us to total victory! No matter the cost, Khar'shan shall be free! Revtok, over and out.

Well he sure sounds fired up. Nothing like a little raiding to get the blood pumping I say. Well, looks like us kig-yar got to pick up the pace now. We got some cargo to secure, people, let's wrap this up fast. Here's something to motivate you all a little. Alestorm, "No Quarter!" Give the same to the Covenant's flunkies, boys!

[Song: No Quarter]

Pillaging, Plundering, Pilfering, all this and Ichor too. Ain't no Life like the Pirate Life. Buzzard Buccaneer Radio, Yo Ho Motherfuckers.

[Song: Wild Side]

Is... is this confirmed? ... Is he serious? ... Yeah, I know it's Zek, but still. Oh shit, we're back. That was Motley Crue, "Wild Side." Sorry if I seem a bit flustered, but, this is incredible listeners. Shipmaster Zek is currently in space. I mean, literally, he is currently walking around on the back of the second cargo ship still in dock. This comes straight from Retz and while we all know him for stretching the truth a lot, he's not kidding here. Zek is walking around in a vacuum and killing hostiles in a spacesuit. Holy fuck people, talk about modernizing a classic. I'm honestly wondering if he used a damn rope or something to swing over to it. Well, if it works, who cares if it's a oldie. Retro-boarding action for the space age, never a boring day in this fleet. Thankfully we got some eyes on this shit. We have a direct line from another of our batarian friends who is heading into the fray right now to assist our Shipmaster. Corporal, what you got?

Yeah, this is Corporal Kakanagoh, and I'm in a Phantom right now screaming towards the cargo ship. I got Zek in my scope and he's really taking the fight to the enemy hard. He's got some others with him, Normandy crew most likely.

How are they doing?

Hard to tell, they're getting a lot of fire. Shit, we're getting close. We're going in hot. Pilot is heating up the forward guns on this craft. (Sounding of gun cocking) Switching to shredder rounds, this is going to be tight. (Plasma Fire) We're raking them now! Gotta go, shit is hitting the fan hard!

Thanks for the update, Corporal. We appreciate the eyes. Board has just lit up, we got a lot of calls, let's go through them quick.

Zek's the fucking bird! I mean THE fucking bird! I knew the son of Dread Feather would be just as crazy cunning as he was! He is getting shit done old school! I'm glad I joined up with this crew when I did more than ever!

Stick around you might see a lot more crazy from him in due time. Next line.

No need to be freaking the fuck out here. Zek's faced way worse than this. It's why he's Shipmaster. He knows what he's doing, even if it seems like it's nuts. He's got this shit, don't worry about it.

Well he did take on a bunch of undead monsters head on so you might have a point there. Next line.

Zek's a shipmaster who gets his hands dirty, like any true pirate. If the humans don't respect him after this, they're idiots. That ship's as good as ours. You just wait. Fuck, he probably just brought some of those Normandy guys along to show off to them. Kick that ship's ass, Zek! Bring home the spoils!

Hopefully we get a decent payday from all this. Next line.

None of you morons got roped into sleeping with that idiot. This is so typically him, jumping out airlocks onto ships like he's back in ancient times. Ocean's depths, he's a fucking dumbass.

Ah, Ms. Taq, I was wondering when you'd call.

Look, I get it. He's your boss, you have to kiss his ass, but I'm his Ex. I know more about that fucking lowlife than any of you drunken half-wits do. That gives me special insight and privilege into the asshole's life and trust me, it ain't worth all the fucking praise you're doling out right now. He's being a reckless imbecile and if his suit punctures it's his own fucking fault.

Um, well, everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose, heh.

Oh and Boz, you're doing a good job with this radio thing. It's good to see you exploring another race's culture like you are. Very educational, respectable even. I hope you keep at it, you seem born to this sort of work.

Why, thank you Ms. Taq. That's mighty appreciated of you. I didn't expect that kind of praise just now.

Just because I hate your boss, doesn't mean I hate you guys. Just offering a different perspective. Thank you for the moment of your time.

The pleasure was all ours, and I hope your next call has less anger laden ranting against the guy who signs my paychecks. Could make things problematic. Anyway, I'm not too worried myself about Zek. Yes, everything about Taq said is arguably true, but, hey, he's survived this long so he has to be doing something right. That and if he does have Normandy crewmates backing him up, well, this fight is pretty much his. This would be a cakewalk if he had one of those Spartan guys with him, but they got another mission from what I understand. Top secret though, no one told us anything about the specifics. And they complain about us keeping secrets, am I right? ... Oh Retz has just sent something down the wire. Anyone near an observation deck facing starboard better hurry and look out the window. There's going to be a pretty awesome sight in about five seconds. One guess what it is. Nevermind, you probably already know the answer. Hell, I'm getting a feed of it now. The batarians have detonated the mining asteroid. That shit is space dust! Try and make guns out of that shit now, Covies! Also, I'm being told to patch us into a wide band signal. Doing it now.

To all points, this is Shipmaster Zek. The second Cargo ship is ours! Every stinking crate full of guns, gun parts or otherwise, is now ours! It's all ours!

Hell yeah! You hear that galaxy? The Fallen Serpent is fucking back! This raid is a success! Party down in the main mess for sure tonight! I also extend a hearty congratulations to everyone who made this possible, the ODSTs, the Normandy, our batarian friends and our human comrades in arms. This is a win for us all! Let's celebrate in earnest! Here's another track from Alestorm, "Wolves of the Sea!" On this day, we're all officially bloody pirates! There ain't nothing else worth being!

[Song: Wolves of the Sea]

A quick update for anyone not in the know, if you wanna watch the Ascendant Justice blow what remains of that facility off the face of the big old asteroid it's built on, you got a few minutes to get to a observation deck with a decent view. Otherwise, I'm sure someone will be playing it on a holoscreen ad-nauseum tonight. Just not the same as watching it though to be honest. Okay, we got another call. Let's see who it is this time. Hello, you're on the air with Boz.

Well fuck me, I actually got through. Hey there, Buzzy, sounds like you and your fellow birds are fucking ecstatic over all this.

It's pretty obvious I suppose. We're not very good at being subtle. May I ask who is speaking?

Jack, just Jack. I'm from the Normandy. Was with the ODSTs in their assault on that damn security and comms building. Fucked the place up real good.

Well we appreciate that Jack, couldn't have pulled this off without you.

Whatever, just wanted to let you know I was listening to your broadcast the whole way. Your music is ancient as fuck but it's got a good sound. Seems to fit you guys. Some of the Drop Troopers were listening to it here and there, but they mostly have to keep comms clear. I don't bother with that shit, their protocol, not mine.

I thought the Normandy was drafted into UNSC service. Aren't you kinda supposed to follow their regs?

Some might, I don't. Fuck that shit, never had to listen to anyone to survive this long. Unless one of them is Commander Shepard himself, I don't give a fuck what they say I should or shouldn't do.

So you basically only recognize Shepard's authority?

Yeah, what of it? You guys only really answer to Zek, right?

It just seems a bit strange. Why the Commander, but not the UNSC as a whole?

One, because half these ODSTs are a bunch of assholes. So I ain't listening to their bullshit. Two, because Commander Shepard is the baddest motherfucker around. He earned my fucking respect. The UNSC drafted me into this mess along with the rest of my crew. I'm here to help us get the fuck out of this shit basically. Beyond that, I do what the fuck I want.

I can get behind that. You certainly have a very kig-yar mentality. Self and crew first, everyone else second.

Cool, I got something in common with you turkeys. Guess that's why I felt like calling. You guys like the fight don't you? I mean, you ain't warriors like the Elites or the krogan, but you do like the scrap. Seems to pump you up, get your motors running and shit.

Kig-yar life is heavy on the adrenaline. Talk to most pirates and they'll tell you they feel alive most during a fight. It's not so much the fighting itself as it's the heat of the moment I guess. The energy, the electricity, just seems to come out of nowhere. We probably got a little bloodlust in us I'll admit. But we're not like the sangheili and jiralhanae. Those fuckers are just war mad, we're fight happy. There's a difference.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I've been there. Nothing makes you feel more alive than surviving against the fucking odds. I guess that's why you like this old music so much, fits your adrenaline fueled lifestyle. How about you put on another track, long flight back to the Normandy and we're just finishing clean-up here anyhow. Might as well have something decent to listen to.

Sure thing, Jack, any specific requests?

Fuck if I know, I'm not Joker, I didn't download this shit. Just make it something heavy and hard, alright. Still gotta work out some of the shit that went down here. Oh and while I'm here, fuck you, Corporal Fadden. If you're listening, you're lucky Thane was there. Otherwise you'd be a bloodstain against the wall. And if any one of you dipshit Drop Troops even fucking looks at me funny, you best be ready to get the same treatment I showed these fucking Elites today. So stay the hell out of my way, asshats.

That is one very violent and angry human female. I would highly suggest people heed her warning. Commander Shepard must be a real hardass to keep that lady in line. Okay, let's get another song going. Here's a good one, I think it matches Jack's request too. This is Motorhead, "Killed by Death," only on BBR! Good job out there today boys!

[Song: Killed by Death]

Crank up the Volume, you're listening to Buzzard Buccaneer Radio. Your only rock station for a hundred billion lightyears. So get fucking used to it, matey!

Good news people, Zek is already planning a huge vid screening of some human crime thrillers. Not pirates though, something about gangsters. Whatever that means exactly. Head on over to the main rec room later tonight for some of the best seats. Word is we still got some of that popped corn leftover, so get there early if you can before it's all gone. That shit is delicious and I'm not sure Shepard is gonna let us raid his cabinets again. Alright, enough of the jabbering. Zek recorded another review the other day. This one should be interesting folks, let's give it a listen, shall we?

By now I suspect the whole crew has gotten hooked on the Ultraman series. Can't say I'm surprised, it's awesome. After enduring the torture that was Hack-speare for several hours, my faith in humanity's story telling ability was thankfully restored by this series. It seems like some of Earth's best stories come out of this little island of Japan. If we ever manage to get there we should probably check it out. I've heard good things about this sake of theirs. In light of the series' popularity among the crew, I asked Ms. Kasumi Goto for some help. You all know her by now, she's a fellow thief among our human friends and the first of her kind to taste Ichor, making her a bit of a celebrity aboard our fair vessel. So you know I value her opinion concerning vids. I asked her personally, are there more vids out there like Ultraman? And she answered yes, in fact there are many! She pointed to one specific vid though, it's called "Godzilla vs. Megalon."

For those not in the know, Godzilla is a pretty big name in human pop culture. He's some giant saurian looking fellow that breathes atomic fire and fucks shit up on a regular basis. He's got a ton of vids with his name on the marquee, at least over thirty. Pretty impressive for a giant lizard who is essentially a human in a rubber suit. Although they stopped doing that suddenly for some reason in his later works, no idea why. Just doesn't feel right if we're not actually watching two actual living creatures beat the shit out of each other. I mean sure, they're actors, they're not REAL monsters, but still... it just isn't the same. Ah well, tech marches on I suppose.

Anyway, Godzilla has a ton of monster brawls I'd love to go over with you all, but unfortunately we only have so much time in a day. For the purposes of this segment, we're just looking at the Megalon movie. And it is nuts, boys. You know when you take like a whole hit of Drelgon Spices and just let it all go? That's kinda like what happens in this shit. It's really hard to explain in audio format, but I'm gonna try. Suffice to say, it really is a lot like Ultraman. I'd almost call it a rip-off, but that almost feels like a disservice of sorts.

Here's how it goes, apparently humans are blowing up these big ass underground bombs on their homeworld. Seems a bit stupid to me. I mean, you wanna do that shit, do it some place you don't keep your stuff. There's gotta be an asteroid or whatever you can explode for shits and giggles, right? Anyway, it seems like all this underground exploding is pissing off some dudes who live underground. So they send up some freaky looking bug called Megalon to teach them a lesson. Mostly by smashing their shit and seeing how the surface dwellers like being on the receiving end of this crap. Seems like a pretty reasonable response. I probably would've at least asked them politely to stop exploding shit first before resorting to outright destruction, but I do admire the simplicity of the statement. Nothing says "fuck you" like sicking a giant monster on your shitty neighbors.

Megalon is basically some kind of beetle or whatever, that spits out bombs and has, get this, drill bits for hands. He probably would be more menacing in real life, but part of me keeps wondering how he eats. Does he shove his whole head in there? That's gotta be messy. I can't really imagine not having thumbs I guess. I mean, how would you jack off? Of course, he's a bug so I'm not sure he has the right parts for that anyway.

While Megalon is fucking up Japan, the underground people send up two of their guys to raid some scientist's lab. Reason, he's building this constantly smiling robot guy named Jet Jaguar. I have no idea why he is called that, it's not really important. What is important is this synth has got some talent in those circuits, like major fighting chops. Also he can grow super big, just like Ultraman. Don't ask me how, even the scientist who made him doesn't seem to know how he's able to fucking do that. Seriously, how does someone manage to build something that can do something that should be impossible and not know how he achieved that? I'm not sure if that makes him a better or worse scientist.

Jet Jaguar needs some assistance in ass kicking though, after all he was only built like yesterday, so he enlists Godzilla's help. The big lizard is apparently going through a hero phase at this time, so he's more inclined to help the humans. I guess after you destroy their shit for a few years you get kinda bored with the same old routine. And it's not like the humans' weapons are any threat to him, might as well go after something that can actually pose an interesting challenge for once. Point is, Godzilla comes to help Jet Jaguar fight Megalon.

Well, now the underground people are freaking out, like, shit we didn't count on Godzilla actually spoiling our fun. So they gotta sub-contract their whole operation to some alien mercs who apparently have their own monster named Gigan! Okay, it's hard to describe what this fucker looks like. He's sorta like a reptile, but he's got this big silver metal beak and a single red eye. He's kinda like a cyborg I guess, I mean, why else would he have a buzzsaw in his chest. Oh, I didn't mention the buzzsaw? Did I at least mention he's got fucking curved blades for hands! I have to think they stuck him in this vid because he and Megalon have weapons for literal limbs. Hell, they even high five each other when they meet! It's like they're fucking longtime drinking buddies meeting up again for the first time in years!

So now it's Megalon and Gigan versus Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. It's a great big, throwdown, rock'em, sock'em, brawl of titans. Two on Two, no holds bar! They are smacking each other around, charging head first into each other, it's some glorious on screen giant monster violence. And just in case you think Jaguar is the only one who can make physics his bitch, Godzilla manages to pull off a move that should be impossible, but fuck it if it ain't awesome! That lizard is a lot more capable than people give him credit for, kinda like us actually.

If you guys like Ultraman, I'd recommend this vid. Be forewarned, there's a bunch of human stuff involved, just like Ultraman actually. It's mostly there to fill out the runtime, but it's kind of amusing in it's own right. There's an exchange between one of the humans and the underground people's agent which is basically him asking why he needs to steal technology from the surface is his people are so advanced. The dipshit from the underground basically tries to peddle some unggoy shit answer. The human sees through it though and calls it what it is, they're fucking stupid. Gotta love those balls, man, you called the supposedly hyper evolved underground civilization a bunch of morons! While you're captured by one of them! That's the kind of moxy I love to see.

If you enjoy this vid, do check out the other Godzilla entries. They're worth a look in my opinion, they're certainly better written than anything that so-called Bard created. Ugh, mother fucking piece of shit that guy was. Sorry, still pissed I wasted so much time on that fucker. That's it for now, loyal crew. Now, back to Boz.

Well that's another recommendation from the Shipmaster, people. And like I said before, Zek will be appearing in person in the main rec room tonight for a vid night marathon of human crime drama vids. Do not miss it, sure to be a blast. It's been a good day overall people, can't see any reason to slow it down now. So let's get back into the music. This is a good one, I think it speaks to us all on a very personal level. Deep inside, this is what every pirate aspires to. And humans too I'm guessing. Somewhere in there, I know you all feel the same. Here's Steppenwolf, "Born to be Wild." Who isn't though, right?

[Song: Born To Be Wild]

Professor Solus' Notes:

Kig-yar culture clearly idolizes concept of profit. However, analysis of broadcast suggests species thrives on violence. Similarities to home universes' species of Vorcha in this manner(See Codex Entry). Differences nonethless profound. Violence must have purpose, not senseless. Consumption of human monster films, known culturally as Tokusatsu, points to violence as regular source of entertainment. Depictions of battle are used to heighten pre-fight awareness. Described by Ms. Kasumi Goto as, "psyching selves up."

Crew of Fallen Serpent clearly reveled in the actions of the raid. Saw this personally in field. Would describe attitude towards destruction of enemy forces as form of release. Not just for recent slights, however. More general attitude against positions of authority, namely the sangheili, ie. Elites. This species had considerable control over them. Perceived as lackeys of Covenant leadership. Aggression against them is considered retribution against Covenant as a whole.

Acts of daring, such as Zek's boarding of the cargo ship, also generally lauded. Suggests Zek's hands-on approach to command endearing to crew. Personally witnessed actions in field. Despite nature, Zek is an accomplished field commander. Highly respected among crew for his capability against enemy. He "gets his hands dirty" if you will. Always alongside his crew. Admirable trait in less than admirable profession.

Violence way of life among many criminals. Opinion that this is especially so among kig-yar, however. Society lacks centralized government. Tyranny of the masses order of day. Order maintained by respect and fear of individuals. No recognized authority beyond that of the shipmaster. At least among pirates, cannot be certain for regular kig-yar species. Zek's style of leadership resonates well with crew. Highly loyal. Aggression attempt to mimic his prestige. All, of course, in the name personal self-gratification. Profit through violence perfectly feasible, if not necessary for survival in general.

Conclusion simple. Fallen Serpent responds mostly to those who achieve ends through aggression and excel at those traits. They do not seek typical heavy handed strategy like the Covenant, however. Zek's unorthodox actions were highly praised. Cunning more important than fighting fair. This explains preference for hit and run, ambush-style tactics over head-on assault. Also explains musical tastes.

Official Statement

Mordin's analysis suggests Jackals are typically a violence-driven species. Thankfully, he seems to think it is only directed with purpose and when necessary, mainly for profit. Senseless cruel slaughter like that of the Brutes or honorable attitudes concerning combat like the Elites are frowned upon. Jackals seek to find other methods of achieving ends. This lines up with our general consensus at ONI, so I am inclined to trust his findings.

Boz himself seems to admire the pirate-lifestyle excessively and believes that humanity has the capacity to share many of the traits he idolizes. I'd like to claim otherwise, but must admit our history is not exactly free of similar behavior. In many respects, we share much in common historically. However, we organized under a central authority. Jackals rejected that notion in favor of personal freedom. Piracy is therefore seen as the ultimate expression of that freedom.

This is why I'm not certain this Alliance will last in any official capacity, despite the success of the raid. They are unruly and unpredictable, the casual nature of the first caller in this transcript is proof of that. Taking a break in the middle of a fight to brag about how he has killed an enemy is disturbing behavior. I am well aware many of our Marines do similar things, but they usually do not broadcast them over the radio in such a flagrant manner.

Of personal note, I would be wary of the Normandy crew members Jack and Kasumi Goto. I know it might seem strange to suggest concerns with Shepard's people at this stage, especially concerning two of his human compatriots. The facts are there though, while aliens like Garrus and Samara have expressed concerns similar to my own, Jack and Kasumi seem almost aligned with the pirates mentally. The former thrives on violence in a similar fashion and the latter's lifestyle makes her more sympathetic to them if rumors are to be believed.

Considering the events that followed the raid, I am unsure if any of this has changed, but I have expressed my concerns to Commander Shepard. He assures me he will keep an eye on the situation. I will, however, be keeping my own tabs on the two. As well as one Zaeed Massani, who is technically a pirate in his own right. He seems loyal only to Shepard though, possibly because he is currently employed by the Commander.

Regardless, Zek clearly holds a great deal of sway over his crew. They admire and respect his capability. The usual token response most of us tend to have concerning Jackals is that they are reckless mercenaries with more bloodthirst than skill. However, I do not feel that is entirely accurate. They are capable, cunning and fierce fighters. The raid proved that in more ways than one.

The only thing hampering them, it seems, is the direct authority of the Elites controlling them. They try to make them fight like soldiers, but they're not. They don't follow the same rules of engagement, the same tactics that the Elites adhere to. The Covenant hierarchy in this sense limits the capability of their own soldiers. Let loose from those bonds, they're able to operate with a sufficient sense of speed and adeptness. If the Covenant allowed the various unique traits of their military forces to play to their strengths, well, they'd probably have crushed us a long time ago. It's another problem with their system of control and conformity, they're stifling their various advantages. Heaven help us if they ever decide to let their feathery mercenaries off the leash in the future, along with the rest of the races under their grip.

For now, that at least gives us an advantage in the sense that our Jackals don't have to worry about playing by the Covenant's rules anymore. However, it also means they are going to be highly resistant to playing by ours. A double edged sword if there ever was one. This isn't even going into the later developments in the aftermath of the raid. Developments that revealed other potential problems. I will go over them in greater detail in my next report.

OOC: If you haven't figured it out by now, a lot of what I'm doing with BBR is inspired by the radio stations of GTA. Crazy callers, insane promos and sweet tunes. I know a lot of you have been sending requests for Boz to play, and I don't mind them, but remember, Boz is using Joker's music as well as Shepard's. Their tastes are going to be more on display than anyone else's. And given that Wade Shepard is a bit of a retrophile, his love of the original Star Trek series for example, he has very particular tastes in music regarding rock. Not to say more modern metal won't be represented, after all, Alestorm got a lot of play in this chapter. So do send in the requests if you want, just no there is no guarantee I'll put them in. It's still my work after all. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter and the sneak peek into what's about to come next. There are clues in this chapter if you look hard enough. See you then.
