Out of Fuel? - Explorer Rescue Service, The Fuel Rats

I hope I get a rescue mission eventually, I want to write it up in Mossfoot's Continuing Tales of Woe (see link below ;) )
 
...sending out an emergency signal...
begin transmission:

+Rep for the role-play, and thanks for giving The Rats a chance to show off CMDR Anuranium's Anaconda. ;)

Our leaderboard's lookin' good, people! We are ahead of the galaxy in lives saved versus lives lost! Keep up the great work, Rats! You bring a tear of pride to my remaining little beady eye...

Are you missing the rescue by TartanDragon of Eric in Col 285 Sector SQN A36-6, or was that a drill? (that was the one I was trying to kit up for but was having trouble).


---updated---


Cool, I see it added now. Not hardly as dramatic as Zieman's rescue which was going on at the same time, but hey, a life is a life and a ratscue is a ratscue.

What a superb idea, kind of like the RAC/AA. I gather there are fees for this service?

"Customer service fee" optional, may be waived, surcharge varies on distance... discretion of the Fuel Rat performing the rescue, circumstances, ya know? Something about a formula involving light-years times tonnage multiplied by the reciprocal of 1 week divided by delivery time in hours... Shipping and handling surcharges may apply. Uh, prosthetic limbs are not valid currency but we can always accept payment in transplantable organs, he said hopefully...

It's a very nice Anaconda.

(Edited the leader-board. I had Tartandragon and his CMDR name Aitken up twice. I told y'all I'm not organized.)

Don't know what you'd feel about it, but I think would be great in long term to see FD officially support this, by supplying new commanders with Fuel Rats' in game phone number! .. That is for a Green Flag Membership fee and a bonus to insurance costs, type thing .. I rep and salute you all. Three times more especially, for as long as it's a voluntary service.
 
Fuel Rats:
"Veni vidi implevi"
"I came I saw I filled"
I see our slogans are taking on something of a lascivious twist. Dirty old fuel rats. Or perhaps It's just me with my mind in the gutter.

As cool as I think that would be, I would be a bit upset if they supported us before they supported a half dozen other organizations who have large membership, name recognition and effort put in. The Mercs of Mikuun got some special attention as play testers, but there are several other groups that deserve recognition for their time and effort.

Hmm not so sure about that Sir...we're 'anarchic', not sure I want the plaudits of 'The Man'.

Once 'The Man' gets involved, suddenly you get 'beuaro...boroc...beauwo...admin', 'paperwork', 'licenses' and people who need to manage that and those people need to be paid, and then people to manage the people who are managing the people and they need to be paid more so then 'fees', 'registration' 'subs' have to be paid - that's not even mentioning the database with all our details on it.

Nope, no, niet, nein. Galnet singing our praises and spreading our glory is one thing; 'The Man'? Hell he's probably the reason most of us go to The Black.

It's just you ;)

If you run various options through the translator vidi becomes uidi so you need to pick the correct tense on the last word. 'Filled' worked and was appropriate.
