This thing I'm about to share is a tale of brotherly love, completely unintended connections and general f**kawesome. Before I share the logs a little backstory to make it all logical
When I started to get in to RP in Eve properly a few months back, Utari had a fling with a certain Zsaryna Adrelana. Fast forward to recent times and Thal became Utari's closest friend during his 'detox' and re-embracing his faith. After a small conversation with Thiago, Utari's Grandfather, about seeing Thal's collection of weapons, this compeltely unintended awesome bit of RP happened.....
[ 2015.03.29 16:51:49 ] Thal Vadam > On the world of Mishi III, stands a small manor belonging to Thal Vadam. It sits atop a hill, overlooking a large compound in the distance. There is an empty landing pad guarded by two men in black ar

[ 2015.03.29 16:54:36 ] Utari Onzo > A small shuttle lands on the pad, the crest of House Gallius visible on both sides ((
http://puu.sh/gUdVT/56d448fe3c.jpg)) Upon landing, the ramp descends and Thiago and Utari both walk down. Utari is dressed in a simple blue Caldari style suit and...
[ 2015.03.29 16:55:15 ] Utari Onzo > Thiago in a Bronze and gold etched outfit with the House crest etched on the chest.
[ 2015.03.29 16:57:17 ] Thal Vadam > /emote steps out of the manor dressed in brown robes. He is flanked by a Khanid man and two more black armored men. He approaches the two and smiles "Greetings gentleman"
[ 2015.03.29 16:58:37 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles and bows to Thal. "Hello Thal, a pleasure to attend your residence."
[ 2015.03.29 16:59:08 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote also gives a polite bow.
[ 2015.03.29 16:59:51 ] Thal Vadam > /emote bows and gestures to the Khanid "This is Arcturas. My attendant"
[ 2015.03.29 17:00:45 ] Thal Vadam > Arcturas bows "Greetings"
[ 2015.03.29 17:01:51 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote bows with Utari and smiles. "Greetings Arcturas."
[ 2015.03.29 17:02:35 ] Thal Vadam > /emote gestures to the door "Shall we?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:03:07 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "Of course, please."
[ 2015.03.29 17:04:59 ] Thal Vadam > /emote leads his guests into the main room. One wall is a massive window, looking over the compound in the distance. There is a single chair and side table by the window. Another wall is a massive
[ 2015.03.29 17:06:38 ] Thal Vadam > bookshelf. containing many hundreds of books. There is a fireplace in this wall. Above the fireplace is a large painting of Thal in armor, minus his helmet. He
[ 2015.03.29 17:08:40 ] Thal Vadam > stands next to a young woman with long auburn hair. She is dressed in a navy uniform. Their arms are linked and are smiling. There are various couches and chairs around the room.
[ 2015.03.29 17:09:11 ] Thal Vadam > "Would either of you like something to drink?" Asks Thal
[ 2015.03.29 17:10:22 ] Utari Onzo > /emote looks up at the painting and smiles before turning back to Thal. "Ni-Kunni tea if you have it please, otherwise anything non-alcoholic."
[ 2015.03.29 17:11:12 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote lets his own eyes roam across the room for a moment "I shall indulge in whatever you see fit Sir Vadam. Please surprise me."
[ 2015.03.29 17:13:00 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods to Arcturas "A Ni-Kunni tea, and two Holder Greys." Arcturas nods and walks off "Make yourselves at home my friends"
[ 2015.03.29 17:14:29 ] Utari Onzo > /emote gestures to the painting. "Thank you Thal.. I assume the young lady with you in this painting is your fiance. When was this piece commisioned?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:15:09 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote quietly wanders around the room, letting Utari and Thal talk for a moment as he browses the bookshelf.
[ 2015.03.29 17:17:02 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks up at the artwork "About three months ago. A generous Ni-Kunni from a nearby town made it for a rather modest sum"
[ 2015.03.29 17:18:51 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote chimes in as he overhears "Perhaps we could twist your arm into getting their details. A family painting with Utari and Miguel would be wonderful now they're both grown men."
[ 2015.03.29 17:19:02 ] Utari Onzo > /emote chuckles softly.
[ 2015.03.29 17:20:59 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles "By all means. I shall forward his information to you"
[ 2015.03.29 17:21:39 ] Utari Onzo > "Thank you... Have you heard any more from her? I understand last we spoke she was in Nullsec?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:21:50 ] Utari Onzo > "Your fiance that is.."
[ 2015.03.29 17:23:00 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "She still is. I have written her, but I don't expect a response. Her being a combat pilot takes much of her time"
[ 2015.03.29 17:23:44 ] Utari Onzo > Understandable... Do you know where she is serving currently?
[ 2015.03.29 17:25:01 ] Thal Vadam > "OT-MIZ I believe"
[ 2015.03.29 17:26:29 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "If it helps I'll make some calls to some friends of mine in the Null power blocs."
[ 2015.03.29 17:26:42 ] Thal Vadam > "OT-AMZ I mean"
[ 2015.03.29 17:27:25 ] Utari Onzo > Hmm... Syndicate... I know some people staged there with the CFC...
[ 2015.03.29 17:27:49 ] Thal Vadam > "Yes, please. I know she's ok...but you understand my worry"
[ 2015.03.29 17:29:27 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods understandingly. "I'll keep you informed if my contacts find anything out. Perhaps if we get the right connection and you get good word out from her, I might be able to arrange you visiting her. Wormholes are great shortcuts you know.."
[ 2015.03.29 17:30:08 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote grimmaces as he returns to Thal and Utari. "Not for me, travelling through those things..."
[ 2015.03.29 17:30:24 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles "Thank you Utari" Arcturas returns and offers everyone their drinks
[ 2015.03.29 17:31:00 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote takes his Holder grey and sips. "Ah thank you Vadam.."
[ 2015.03.29 17:31:48 ] Thal Vadam > /emote takes his tea "She is an incredible woman...My Zsaryna"
[ 2015.03.29 17:31:49 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles and picks up his own drink. "You've done much for me Thal, I hope to do the same for you."
[ 2015.03.29 17:32:19 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods at Utari and sits in an armchair
[ 2015.03.29 17:34:03 ] Utari Onzo > /emote pauses himself at the name briefly, before sitting beside him. "I know that name... How long have you been engaged with her?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:34:38 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sips his tea "3 months"
[ 2015.03.29 17:36:43 ] Utari Onzo > /emote takes a sip himself. "She's an old aquaintence of mine. I've been keeping an eye out for her myself, I haven't heard from her in some time. I'm glad she is engaged to you, friend."
[ 2015.03.29 17:37:51 ] Thal Vadam > "Oh...i see. Were you you two...involved?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:38:13 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote sits on a nearby couch as he drinks.
[ 2015.03.29 17:39:19 ] Utari Onzo > /emote sighs. "We were. I haven't seen her since....."
[ 2015.03.29 17:39:43 ] Utari Onzo > /emote pauses. "About when you said you got engaged actually.."
[ 2015.03.29 17:39:58 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote raises his eyebrows slightly.
[ 2015.03.29 17:41:15 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sips "It doesn't anger me. I was always ok with her multiple partners...until we were engaged. And that's only because of what she said"
[ 2015.03.29 17:41:39 ] Utari Onzo > /emote "I'm sorry Thal, I didn't know... She never told me of any others."
[ 2015.03.29 17:43:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly "Do not worry Utari. I love Zsaryna more then anything. All I desire is her happiness." He smiles slightly "I remember asking her...the question"
[ 2015.03.29 17:44:16 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles. "Please, tell me how that went. I'm glad she found her man."
[ 2015.03.29 17:46:36 ] Thal Vadam > "Well...I had just been promoted to Classiarii. On my way home, i bought her 3 things. A glass rose, a ring, and two interbus tickets to the EVE Gate"
[ 2015.03.29 17:47:36 ] Thiago Gallius > Interesting choice, Sir Vadam... Why the Eve Gate?
[ 2015.03.29 17:49:30 ] Thal Vadam > "I gave her the tickets and told her we were celebrating my promotion. She used a clone, that resembled her before all her cybernetics. As we stood, watching the EVE Gate, i reached into my pocket, "
[ 2015.03.29 17:49:50 ] Thal Vadam > "because of a recommendation"
[ 2015.03.29 17:50:01 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote nods and lets Thal continue
[ 2015.03.29 17:50:20 ] Thal Vadam > "I reached into my pocket, and gave her the rose and ring"
[ 2015.03.29 17:50:54 ] Utari Onzo > And she said yes at that point?
[ 2015.03.29 17:51:06 ] Thal Vadam > /emote chuckles "Then...she reached into her dress, and pulled out an envelop"
[ 2015.03.29 17:51:50 ] Thal Vadam > "Inside...was a letter from her family, and a ring. She was going to ask me"
[ 2015.03.29 17:53:04 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods and sips at his tea. "I'm happy for you Thal. I will redouble my efforts to ensure her safe return to you my friend."
[ 2015.03.29 17:53:45 ] Thal Vadam > "Thank you Utari...I hope you don't mind her...love for me"
[ 2015.03.29 17:54:43 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote chimes in. "It seems the young lady made her choice. And as fine a wife as she will make for you, I intend for Utari to marry an Amarrian once his citizenship is complete. He cannot marry for love."
[ 2015.03.29 17:55:45 ] Utari Onzo > /emote winces slightly at his Grandfather's words. "No Thal. I've courted other ladies since then, while I liked her very much we never got too serious. I do hope to remain a friend to her and yourself.."
[ 2015.03.29 17:56:24 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly
[ 2015.03.29 17:57:34 ] Thal Vadam > "She always called me her knight." A chuckle. "Now, who wants to see the vault?"
[ 2015.03.29 17:58:11 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles and nods. "Please, let's do. Grandfather told me you have quite a collection."
[ 2015.03.29 17:59:02 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote nods and stands up as excitedly as a Noble would be allowed. "I have been very interested to see it indeed."
[ 2015.03.29 18:00:51 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles and stands. He leads them down a stairway to a large door. Thal scans his hand and eyes, and the door opens. Inside is a large room, containing weapons, armor, and other items. there
[ 2015.03.29 18:02:06 ] Thal Vadam > appear to be three rows. "The three sections include general weapons, Templars, and House Vadam"
[ 2015.03.29 18:03:52 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote steps in and nods slowly. "An impressive collection. Everything in its place."
[ 2015.03.29 18:05:05 ] Thal Vadam > /emote gestures "By all means. explore. I'll answer any questions you have"
[ 2015.03.29 18:05:36 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote scuttles off, heading towards the suits. "You must tell me more about these. I have always wondered about the Tempalr armor.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:05:51 ] Utari Onzo > /emote chuckles and follows after his Grandfather
[ 2015.03.29 18:08:34 ] Thal Vadam > /emote steps up to the armor. it is 9 feet tall. "A Commando class armor. it opens from the front and forms around the occupant. It connects to the spine. allowing full control."
[ 2015.03.29 18:09:17 ] Utari Onzo > "Much like the Pod connects to us, Grandfather.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:09:45 ] Thiago Gallius > "I see... Does it feel like a second skin Vadam?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:10:24 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "It does"
[ 2015.03.29 18:11:26 ] Thiago Gallius > "Oh, it's incredible being connected. You can feel the solar wind flowing across yourself as you fly.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:11:55 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles "So i have heard."
[ 2015.03.29 18:12:01 ] Utari Onzo > /emote turns to Vadam. "I understand Templars are pod capable to pilot their warbarges, no?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:12:48 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Yes we are. We have the ability to inhabit Capsuleer clones"
[ 2015.03.29 18:13:23 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles. "Perhaps you could join myself some day flying through Annoikis."
[ 2015.03.29 18:13:39 ] Thal Vadam > /emote chuckles "perhaps"
[ 2015.03.29 18:13:54 ] Thiago Gallius > "Or more likely you could learn to don a suit and learn the art of martial combat Utari.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:14:31 ] Thal Vadam > "actually, it is much harder for a Capsuleer to inhabit a Templar clone"
[ 2015.03.29 18:15:11 ] Thiago Gallius > "I see... Well, never mind. Ah, what is this rifle here?" scuttles some more towards the weapons
[ 2015.03.29 18:16:28 ] Thal Vadam > /emote walks over "A Templar grade Pulse rifle...affectionally called "Scramblers" by my fellow Templars"
[ 2015.03.29 18:16:50 ] Thiago Gallius > "Mmm, most likely from the damage they cause to your foes, I assume?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:18:02 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Non immortals...pop...when they are hit by it"
[ 2015.03.29 18:18:37 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote chuckles softly. "I see, I see... What is your most preffered weapon?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:19:44 ] Thal Vadam > /emote gestures to the end of the row. A Sword is placed in a case "Nova blades"
[ 2015.03.29 18:21:02 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote approaches, leaning slightly to look better. "Ah, yes. A bladesman I see. More noble it must be to cut one's enemy then to simply swat them from afar.. But both methods have their uses."
[ 2015.03.29 18:21:51 ] Thal Vadam > /emote walks over "Indeed. This blade, I used during the assault on Huola"
[ 2015.03.29 18:22:39 ] Thiago Gallius > "Ah that was when the Militia made their large push against the Republic no?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:23:20 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "The very same"
[ 2015.03.29 18:24:29 ] Thiago Gallius > "A great success it was.. A shame by CONCORD's emergeancy rules we could not push further.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:24:50 ] Utari Onzo > The Empire is bound by the same treaty as all the others, Grandfather...
[ 2015.03.29 18:24:56 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Indeed, a great shame"
[ 2015.03.29 18:26:20 ] Thal Vadam > /emote approaches a banner on the wall. It depicts the sigil of what seems to be a raven
[ 2015.03.29 18:27:58 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote looks up to banner with Utari. "Is that the sigil of House Vadam?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:30:39 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "That it is"
[ 2015.03.29 18:31:07 ] Thiago Gallius > "I thought I recongised it... An Old family... Former Holders no?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:32:14 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Indeed. One of the most celebrated houses in Amarr. dating back to Athra's unification"
[ 2015.03.29 18:33:47 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote nods. "A shame what happened... Still, you have done your ancestors great pride with your service to the Classiarii."
[ 2015.03.29 18:34:22 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Indeed. Thal would be proud"
[ 2015.03.29 18:35:20 ] Utari Onzo > "Perhaps the Vadam name will rise again? If God Wills it.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:36:38 ] Thal Vadam > "That's my goal. We may never have the level of power we once did, but alone i gain back our respect"
[ 2015.03.29 18:38:06 ] Thiago Gallius > "Indeed, but it may take some generations to soften the blow of your more recent ancestor's actions... Not unlike the Gallius.." He turns to Utari and gives a knowing nod of his head.
[ 2015.03.29 18:38:52 ] Utari Onzo > "Hard paths do we walk Thal..."
[ 2015.03.29 18:39:01 ] Thal Vadam > "as luck would have it, i will live to see the day"
[ 2015.03.29 18:39:27 ] Utari Onzo > /emote Utari and Thiago both chuckle with shared knowledge.
[ 2015.03.29 18:39:41 ] Utari Onzo > "The benefits of the implants. God works in his own mysterious ways.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:39:59 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles "Indeed"
[ 2015.03.29 18:40:34 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks to another small glass case
[ 2015.03.29 18:40:58 ] Thal Vadam > /emote approaches it absent-mindedly
[ 2015.03.29 18:41:19 ] Utari Onzo > /emote follows his eyes and slowly walks behind his friend. "Something wrong Thal?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:42:19 ] Thal Vadam > "Oh...no...nothing is wrong" He opens the case. inside is a glass rose
[ 2015.03.29 18:42:31 ] Utari Onzo > "Is that..?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:42:50 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly
[ 2015.03.29 18:43:14 ] Thal Vadam > /emote picks it up "We put it here for safekeeping"
[ 2015.03.29 18:43:27 ] Utari Onzo > "A wise choice."
[ 2015.03.29 18:44:26 ] Thal Vadam > "I remember...why i made her this"
[ 2015.03.29 18:45:23 ] Utari Onzo > /emote places his hand on Thal's shoulder. "Please continue."
[ 2015.03.29 18:48:06 ] Thal Vadam > "One night...I had a bad dream. All the lives i've taken, all the people i lost. They were all screaming at me in agony. I awoke in a cold sweat and had a panic attack. pacing around breathing"
[ 2015.03.29 18:48:17 ] Thal Vadam > uncontrollably..."
[ 2015.03.29 18:49:06 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods as he listens quietly.
[ 2015.03.29 18:50:21 ] Thal Vadam > "Zsaryna jumped up and calmed me down...I told her how corrupted i felt my soul was...and then...she asked me a question"
[ 2015.03.29 18:51:52 ] Thal Vadam > /emote quotes "When I look into your eyes...I see your soul. Would you like to know what I see?"
[ 2015.03.29 18:52:31 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sighs and smiles
[ 2015.03.29 18:54:26 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles softly. "It sounds like she's really fallen for you, friend."
[ 2015.03.29 18:54:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks at the flower and continues "I see you, and I see me. and a glass rose. infinitely beautiful and delicate, and ready to cut anything that dare pluck it"
[ 2015.03.29 18:57:37 ] Thiago Gallius > "Very poetic... Something the Ni-Kunni are known for.."
[ 2015.03.29 18:58:48 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly "A fellow Classiarii offered to forge a glass rose for us, and here it is"
[ 2015.03.29 19:00:40 ] Utari Onzo > /emote lets his hand drop from Thal's shoulder and extends it to him. "Thal, you are a good man and deserving of a loving wife. I wish to pledge an oath to you."
[ 2015.03.29 19:01:13 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks at the sword on his belt "I never got to show her this, but I forged it for our family"
[ 2015.03.29 19:01:32 ] Thal Vadam > /emote turns to Utari "Oh?"
[ 2015.03.29 19:01:55 ] Utari Onzo > "Take my hand Thal."
[ 2015.03.29 19:02:13 ] Thal Vadam > /emote takes the hand offered
[ 2015.03.29 19:04:10 ] Utari Onzo > /emote grips it firmly. "I pledge an oath to be your loyal brother, Thal Vadam, and by the honor of both the Gallius and the Onzos I will not rest until I bring Zsaryna back to you."
[ 2015.03.29 19:04:56 ] Utari Onzo > Even if I must suffer the guns of a hundred ships, or scan a thousand connections, I will hold my oath to you.
[ 2015.03.29 19:05:05 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly "Thank you Utari, I am honored"
[ 2015.03.29 19:05:44 ] Utari Onzo > "The honour is mine Thal."
[ 2015.03.29 19:06:31 ] Thal Vadam > /emote unclips the sword. "If you find her, show her this"
[ 2015.03.29 19:07:09 ] Utari Onzo > /emote looks to the sword as he lets Thal's hand go. "I will, my friend."
[ 2015.03.29 19:08:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote hands him the weapon. it is beautiful in its ornate design. along the blade is etched "Vadam" in Ni-Kunni, and on the other side is etched "Adrelana" in Amarr
[ 2015.03.29 19:10:02 ] Utari Onzo > /emote takes the sword, gripping it carefully as he inspects it. "This sword wil be your message Thal, and I will be its deliverer. By God's Will and Light."
[ 2015.03.29 19:11:19 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods slowly "Thank you Utari, my brother." He smiles
[ 2015.03.29 19:13:17 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote smiles before he speak. "I will bear witness to this oath, and uphold that my grandson will carry it out."
[ 2015.03.29 19:13:41 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "Thank you Lord Gallus"
[ 2015.03.29 19:14:27 ] Thiago Gallius > "From this moment the Gallius family will consider you and your descendants friends and allies. By His Will and Light."
[ 2015.03.29 19:15:11 ] Thal Vadam > "The same shall be so for the Vadams my Lord"
[ 2015.03.29 19:15:44 ] Thiago Gallius > /emote bows his head for a moment.
[ 2015.03.29 19:16:02 ] Utari Onzo > /emote does likewise.
[ 2015.03.29 19:16:17 ] Thal Vadam > /emote bows his head
[ 2015.03.29 19:17:30 ] Thiago Gallius > "There, now the formalities are out of the way with..."
[ 2015.03.29 19:17:48 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles and nods
[ 2015.03.29 19:18:51 ] Utari Onzo > /emote carefully puts the sword away "Thank you for allowing us to visit Thal. It has certainatly been an honour.. Please, as our host, direct us where you will."
