---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We have finally done it. We have managed to acquire our own ship to fly across
|
||||
the void. Unlike Roxley, I do not care that it comes with a ten-year debt with
|
||||
the government. I don't care if they do call it a contract, it's a debt, plain
|
||||
and simple.
|
||||
Shit. We've been out here for four years now. Still haven't found this fraggin
|
||||
planet buster, and Fenoff still hasn't deactivated the trackers. I started to
|
||||
think that maybe we didn't need to slip away quietly, but recent events have
|
||||
shown me the error of that line of thinking.
|
||||
|
||||
I managed to talk Fenoff into coming with us, this mission will require her el-
|
||||
ectronic prowess. Especially if we are ever going to locate and remove the gov-
|
||||
ernment tracker. Of course she wouldn't leave without her Daughter, so Hasig is
|
||||
here too. But I wouldn't expect anything less from faithful followers of Night
|
||||
Mothers.
|
||||
About a year standard ago an emergency alert came over the comms. A
|
||||
|
||||
I also got Coldsmith to come along. That was easy though, he would do anything
|
||||
to get off of planetside. Last I saw him he had his head inside the laser canon
|
||||
assembly muttering something about "the scravin' government tryna scrimp on the
|
||||
weapon assemblies." I will feel alot safer with him here, and having his alcoh-
|
||||
ol still won't hurt either.
|
||||
|
||||
I suppose I should mention this "contract" the government has given me, well,
|
||||
us. It appears that the good governemnt of the planet Antaron have doctored the
|
||||
history books a little. I know, the shock hit my like planet-side thrust. The
|
||||
Government hiding things from the people? Oh please, say it isn't so. While I
|
||||
will forever cry myself to sleep with the burden of such terrible knowledge, I
|
||||
must press on for the sake of the people. And money, mainly the money.
|
||||
|
||||
You see, a thousand years ago, give or a take a bit, Antaron was at bloody war
|
||||
with her sister planet a few galaxies over. How you can be sister's with someone
|
||||
who lives five, reavin' galaxies away I will never know. But they were in a lo-
|
||||
ng and bloody fight with Kassabar. So, the Antaron did what any sane government
|
||||
would do.
|
||||
|
||||
They built several highly illegal planet busters and launched them through spa-
|
||||
ce.
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously, the planet is still there. So, if all the Kassabarbarians are safe
|
||||
in their beds, then what does the sweet Antaron need with us? Well, it appears
|
||||
someone didn't quite shut the busters off like they were supposed to.
|
||||
|
||||
Last cycle they received a transmission from one of the busters. Not only is it
|
||||
still active, but it has armed itself and is awaiting authorization to attack.
|
||||
As you can imagine the Antaron would be quite embarrassed if they accidentally
|
||||
killed one of their closest allies. That's kinda hard to save face from.
|
||||
|
||||
So they've enlisted myself, and an untold number of others to help with this f-
|
||||
iasco. My task is to emigrate to Kassobar and take up some sort of space-faring
|
||||
job. While under the guise of whatever our job we must hunt down and find this
|
||||
planet buster. Once we find it (if we find it) we are to board it and use the
|
||||
override codes we have been provided with to shut it down. Sounds easy, right?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, ya see, given that it is parked in a waiting orbit anywhere between 0.5c
|
||||
and 3c, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Which, I thought, was a
|
||||
clever name.
|
||||
|
||||
I've named the ship Needle, as that is both what we are looking for, and what
|
||||
we wish to become. Once Fenoff finds and disables the tracker, we will disappe-
|
||||
ar, making our way to the next solar system that tickles our fancy.
|
||||
|
||||
I really don't expect it to take more than a year for her to find it, two tops.
|
||||
For now, I am going to acquaint myself with my new ship. It's far larger than
|
||||
we need, but I'm not complaining. I hope the All Sphere guides my hand as I le-
|
||||
ave the dock. I really don't want to emberass myself by scratching the paint on
|
||||
the way out.
