Ach, that bloody flop Ragnar must have had both thumbs in his eyes when he agr-
|
|
eed to this bloody ship. Even as a wee lad I woulda been able to tell this buc-
|
|
ket of bolts is not worth the scravin credits. And the fool diddun buy this de-
|
|
ath trap, oh no. The flamin' gallah has indentured himself for ten years inste-
|
|
ad.
|
|
|
|
I swear if the bastard hadn't of saved my hide I woulda told him to shove his
|
|
ship into the nearest black hole. He's a lucky man, that's for sure. I don't t-
|
|
hink anyone else would have the skills to take this flying abomination and make
|
|
it right besides me.
|
|
|
|
What was I going to say... I wonder if the still is done... Oh, that's right.
|
|
|
|
We are only several weeks away from dear Kassabar. When we connected to the pl-
|
|
anets infonet I started lookin for jobs worthy of my time. Found one that looks
|
|
like a bit of fun: retro-fitting racing darts. Apparently they use artificial
|
|
gravity generators to hold a few hundred asteroids together and scatter race
|
|
markers throughout. Brave and studpid lads then navigate through the ever chan-
|
|
ging course. Sounds like a wee bit o' fun if I do say so myself.
|
|
|
|
I managed to land a job in one of the pit crews. Only a *little* bit of exager-
|
|
ation in my application.
|
|
|
|
*Coldsmith laughs heartily*
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what the others have lined up. Speaking of others, bloody Hasig n-
|
|
early gave me a heart attack last meal. Apparently Fenoff believes Hasig is re-
|
|
ady to become a Mother, so she has began the year-long transition. I've heard
|
|
of them before, but it was my first time seeing a Daughter with the blood red
|
|
eyes. I knocked over a full stein of my favorite homebrew. That damned Lomere
|
|
just laughed as if it was the greatest joke in the world. Not only did I have
|
|
to appologize for my rude outburst, Fenoff insisted I did, I lost the last of
|
|
that scravin' vintage.
|
|
|
|
It's going to be hard to look at those eyes for an entire year. But I already
|
|
have the next batch going in the still so I won't have to do it alone.
