IN THE BEGGING - THERE WAS AN END
27 Sep 2019xQuery
When I first decided to make a living in the black, there were so many options. I started out hauling goods to where they were needed most, medical supplies mostly. It was an honest living and it payed a decent wage. It was my night off, I decided to go get a drink after a long day hauling, I met another commander in a bar in LTT 2667 (Stepherson hub) - They have decent beer there. We got talking over a couple and he told me about how lucrative mining was.
So there I was, giving up everything I worked for, I sold my trade vessel for a mining ship. Let me tell you... I made much more of a living after that...
Until one day I was bring back a haul and spotted something strange on my scanner. non human signal source?
I had to know... I couldn't just let it be. I dropped out of super cruise to be instantly attacked by something I had never seen before in my life. I boosted and chaffed but nothing was effective at evading whomever..... whatever this was. I hit that super cruise as soon as my engines were cool enough and popped out of there faster than neutron star boost.
I sent a log of my encounter to a commander who I knew had vastly travelled and seen it all. He informed me that it was a thargoid scout... thargoids? I thought they were a myth.
So there I was, giving up everything once again. We need to protect what is ours. I feel like I have a duty to protect the people.... I'm heading to Asterope to help in the war. If I don't make it back.... Tell Konroy im sorry.
