A Never Ending Cycle
27 Jan 2019Maul Montresor
So, it appears I haven't updated this personal log in about four days or so. I better do it now before I forget.The past week has been entirely awful. I began working for The Cartel since my last update. It was this or die because I'm not running again and getting information on the location of the man who started all this a year ago seemed like a good idea. I figured I could start working on exposing him for what he did. No one should get away with murder...even if I was the tool that was used to do so.
So, they started me out running narcotics to neighboring systems to help pay them back for that job I fucked them over on. It felt dirty doing the exact thing I was trying to prevent in the first place but I really had no choice. I wasn't happy at all but it's sink or swim out here. These drug mule jobs were the bulk of this week until 2 days ago when I was called to meet with Jimmy Heson again. He met me with that smug grinning face of his and told me he had something new for me.
"How do you like your new job Mr. Montresor?" Jimmy said with a smile.
I responded sarcastically, "Well, it's okay but my new boss looks like a big boiled egg in a suit."
His grin melted from his face. "Okay wise ass, here is your new assignment. After this, you're free."
He sent the details to my data-slate and his thugs pushed me out of the room.
I walked back to my ship before even checking the details, I expected it was just a new delivery route or maybe I was delivering something besides the usual narcotics and weapons. I sat down and reluctantly opened the message.
-Assassinate 12 members of
That was it.
Murder 12 people and then I was free to go and I get the information on the man in charge of The Corporation.
So, what? Now I'm murdering people for The Cartel? This vicious cycle of repeating events was getting old real fast. Hauling narcotics when all I was trying to do was prevent them from doing so in the beginning and kill again just to get information on the man who sent me to assassinate an innocent in the first place. It seemed like a never ending cycle, but these guys they wanted me to kill weren't innocent. They were a part of a rival faction. The Cartel and them had been fighting for months over territory. But, still...assassinate 12 people?
.......
Well, I'm alive...
....and I have my information.
I'm heading out to see the man who set this all in motion.
I'm coming for you Issac Kiani.
