So, I am writing again. Today was a strange day, I woke up to a blinking light on my personal terminal notifying me that I got a message. Usually it's nothing I need to worry about, I can just check the subject, open the message and turn off the terminal and go back to my daily routine. It lets me earn enough credits to pay for the shipyard storage fee, my rent, and my food. Makes me break even, and it's not even me going into my money I have made flying these days. It's nothing major, not like I need to show up every day to check in, I just do what I want. Some days I just stay in my apartment and watch.But today was different, with the blinking light. The light usually tells me nothing I don't know. The most recent that this didn't involve was the formation of a Coalition referred to as Galcop. That will be exciting once the Dangerous Games launch later this year.
Anyways, the light addressed the Flight of my Wing directly. Usually it is a general message to the entire wing. But when you get orders, you listen.
I had to do jobs for the wing I am part of. The influence in the system was slipping. I had to do my part, as it is my role in the wing. I got into my flightsuit, and walked right past the place I was going to work today. I stepped in for a moment telling them to find someone else today, I had a job to do.
I went straight to the bulletin board, and took a couple of missions. Got in my Asp, took off. Did the missions, and headed back home. I read the news about Chancellor Arias wanting pilots to protect Phiagre, and then put my Asp back into the hangar. I immediately recalled my Vulture, and got inside it. I haven't flown my Vulture for a while. There was dust over the console, and the Yard manager was surprised that I wanted to take it out.
Got into my Vulture, tested the systems to make sure they were working, and took off. I have a task to accomplish. Something for me. And Chancellor Arias, of course.
