Ouch! My head!Shhht, don't read so load. That hurts
!I remember... uhm ... very little.
Wait! I bought a Python! Or no... An Orca! Yes! And I celebrated it with some guys I met at the ship sale event... in ... Shinrarta Dezhra?! Wait a minute, I've been to Shinrarta Dezhra?! Wow! Oh yeah! That's true. I'm Elite! I'm an Elite Explorer!
My mind is still foggy, but I decided to celebrate my Elite status by going to Shinrarta... I remember being totally in awe of the equipment you can buy there! It is a rich commander's paradise! I met some nice people who tagged along with me (me buying the booze might have helped) and we headed off to the locally advertised ship sale event; all ships on display for grabs with a discount
!Now I remember, I did buy a Python! And we celebrated even more and then some of the guys suggested that I could start a ship collection by buying another ship, which by that time, probably because of the amount of mood enhancing toxins in my body. sounded like a pretty good idea
. So I bought an Orca. Sleek ship! We traveled a bit with it and by the time we got back at the station (yes, I managed to dock properly!) someone suggested that a "collection" with only two ships was not really worth naming "collection". That is when I ordered my other ships to be transported to Shinrarta Dezhra (The Adder has to come all the way from Colonia...!). Then I saw the Anaconda. The first time I saw an Anaconda up close. And I still had enough money to buy one... 
I bought an Anaconda... I really did that too! What was I thinking? I think I must have hit the bottom of my purse by that time (I hope) as I cannot recall having bought another ship.Come to think of it... I cannot recall anything after having bought the Anaconda!
And where did they bring me? The place looks vaguely familiar... which shouldn't be possible because I haven't been to Shinrarta Dezhra before.
Hold on!
No!
This can't be true... No way... I should have noticed...
This is my old janitors bunk!
...
I've just checked the Galaxy Map. Apparently I have been brought back to Trevithick Dock, LHS 3447. I've also checked the local docks and I do still have a ship. They've stripped my Sidewinder...
, a little inspection showed that the Sidey has almost a basic load out (If I ever meet one of those guys that were with me that night in Shinrarta Dezhra!). And my credit account is also almost completely empty: I have 25 credits left!
...
I have contacted the port authorities in Shinrarta Dezhra and they confirmed that my ships are in storage. I tried to sell the ships remotely to gain some cash in hand (and take the loss of some credits on the deal), but the computer systems wouldn't allow me. Extremely odd, I have not heard of anything like this before. They advised me come in person to see whether we can sort out how to gain access to my ships again (with lots of apologies, etc. etc. all given in a very matter of fact tone; this is probably business as usual for them: just a one off commander that cannot temporarily access his ships, big deal, will be sorted out later. And what about me in the mean time?!).
....
So there's nothing left for me to do other than to start over again
and try to get enough money to allow transportation to go to Shinrarta Dezhra.Ah, well. I've been here before, so I'll probably manage ... somehow
