Getting back on my feet
9 December 3307
Athaip FO-F d12-4445
I found myself down on my luck after being hornswoggled by that nefarious Ellen at Explorers Anchorage. I was able to use the moneys I gained from the sale of my cartographic data to pay off my bills and have enough fuel to make it to my friends fleet carrier The SCG Kearsarge in the Athaip FO-F d12-4445 system. But now I need to build up some revenue. I am kind of stuck here till I do.
I can do three things. Work the galley here on the Kearsarge, explore, or mine asteroids. I can do two out of the three but I need a ship to go pluck some shiny things out of rocks and ice. I can get my hands on a Python back in the bubble that is outfitted for mining. But, I got no way to get it here.
I had just finished making the crew a chicken curry dinner in the galley when I spotted Michael the owner of the fleet carrier eating by the observation window. So I walked over and joined him. He seemed to like the curry so there was no need to run away or hide.
Michael and I go back a ways and it was good of him to give me a hangar for my Anaconda. We were chatting about old times and he asked me what my plans were. I told him I wanted to do some mining but I needed a ship. So, he says that he would pay for the transport of the Phython in return for 10% of my mining profits until I get the debt paid off. We shook on it.
The Python will be here in a couple of days.
