Five adrift
28 Nov 2015Aymerith
Rescued five souls today. They were adrift in the Thunderbird system, roasting in the twin suns around that hellhole planet encaptured between them.
It must've been a massacre... I counted debris from at least four ships, maybe more. The carcass of an imperial clipper drifted by as I picked up the last pod.
Five saved... but they weren't out of danger yet. On the way to the nearest safe haven, I had a new dilemma.
Someone wanted them back, badly. And they wouldn't take no for an answer. Who were these people? Why were pirates so desperate to take them off my hands? I never got the chance to find out.
Rescued five. Condemned one. I hope they all ended up in the right place.
