Crewman's Log 03: Gauntlet
30 Sep 2019Adrasteia Nemesis
After falling to some stupid scam, Adrasteia couldn't afford my services. I decided, I should at least test her mettle. Turns out she's way tougher than anticipated. She prepped an entire corvette all by herself! No mechanics, no engineers. Just power tools and remotely operated cranes ripping parts from one ship to another.When she headed to the asteroid rings, I tipped off one of her creditors. She returned without a single scratch on her paint. Atleast until she tried to land it while tipsy. Browsing through Verity's logs, she fought off atleast 10 ships in this hastily assembled corvette. Granted, the corvette has plenty firepower and redundancy. I wonder how much headroom she'll make if she wasn't drunk all the time!
I’m impressed. I'll stick with her for now. There's definitely more to learn despite the obvious risks. Still, I wonder what kind of life she led before becoming a pilot.
