System: Beta Hydri
Planet: Camp Shephard (orbit)
Location: Edmonson High Starport
So . . . the celebrations are over.
All the big-wigs and celebrities had their fun in Beta Hydri, at the expense of Zachary Rackham.
I joined all the pilots looking to make some credits being pack-mules for all of their extravagancies.
It beats rummaging through wreckage for a change.
Got harassed by some pirates on a few occasions, but nothin' I didn't expect.
Ha . . . one of those losers even said "arrg" over the comms.
Real pirates don't say "arrg" . . .
He must've been new to the whole piracy thing.
The gig went pretty well all things considered.
I got to try some of that Gerasian Gueuze beer. Pretty good stuff if not a bit pricey just for a beer.
I even took some time to stop by the Golconda and see that dredger clan that showed up.
I hear they're called "the Artificers". I tried hailing the vessel but, no response. I expected as much.
These dredger clans seem so distant from the rest of humanity. Like some ancient tribal peoples, wandering the stars like they're in some ancestral forest.
Impressive ship they got. Just from giving that thing a fly by, it's staggering to think of the work it must take to maintain that behemoth.
I can't help but wonder what the heck they want with the Golconda.
My guess? They're eyein' that thing for scrap. Bet they want to just gobble that thing up for parts.
But maybe . . . maybe there's more to these Artificers.
