Alpha Centauri System
The days have been slow this past month.
I did a few odd jobs here and there. Some salvage and a bit of travelling through systems.
Even got to check out some Vega Slimweed. And, yes, it's disgusting. Don't know how anyone can put that thing in their body.
Oh, and I sold Malak. It was a big ol' clunker Type-7 I used for hauling cargo and trading.
I don't see myself doing much hauling in the near future, and I could use the creds to better set myself up for this contract I came across.
Looking back though, I should've told the guy to look for some other sucker.
"Salvage some scrap" he said, "there and back in no time" he said.
No one told me it was off in the boonies of Alpha Centauri, half way to friggin' Hutton Orbital!
No one told me there would be a bunch of ragtag pirates waiting for me!
And no one told me it was "questionable" cargo.....Okay, I guess that one I knew when I signed up.
I definitely let the payoff go to my head.
Luckily I was quick enough to toss out some collectors, grab the "unmentionables", and get the hell out of there.
Those bastards definitely screwed up my ship though, I'm not looking forward to the repair bills.
I'm pretty sure that last rocket that was heading for my engines, ended up with me in supercruise somewhere.
