Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
07 Jan 2016Tokugawa Daisuke
Signing on with the Federation has been an experience. The President's agents have had me jumping all over known space and back without even a by-your-leave. It's almost not worth it, except for the incredible earning potential and promotion opportunities. My Erinyes almost ended up stranded several times with empty systems and dead stars along the path from my home in 72 Ophiuchi to Wong Guin the other day.Once we arrived, I took advantage of the nearby station before getting to work on Patreus' men. Most of the work there wasn't mine since I arrived so late in the cycle. But I made a few marks on the black that day too. Once the target changed, I was relieved to see that there weren't any particularly troublesome jumps to make on my way to HIP 108598. They're having some Imperial problems down that way and I offered my services to figure things out. With guns, mostly. And lasers.
The only unfortunate bit is how far away one has to travel to redeem the Federal credit for all this work. Such a pain. I'd rather be fighting than jumping across the galaxy.
