A new day presents itself
28 Oct 2019LilliSWE
I wake up completely refreshed and rejuvenated after a good sleep. I get dressed and head over to the computer to get in touch with Vee. Establishing secure connection:
Connection complete:
"Hey girl! I missed you so much. This trip has been so long but I finally made it to Colonia." The look of excitement is written all over her face. "I'm so happy to hear from you. I've been running data missions and cruises to pass time till I heard from you." I can see the tears forming in her eyes. She's truly happy to get this call. An hour passes and we finally say our goodbyes for now.
I do believe it's time for a drink. I hear from the pilots here that the bar has excellent Centauri Gin. After that trip, I could use a few rounds. 6 rounds later, I find myself passed out in the lounge. I open my eyes to the flashes of strobe lights and the sounds of club music. I guessi found my way into the dance club. Well....time to sober up and have a good time. I have't danced in long time. The last I did, was after me and Vee got settled in Cubeo and decided to celebrate our freedom with a night out. Before I could even get to the floor, another pilot asked me for a dance. "Sure...why the hell not!" A smile crosses his face and we hit the floor dancing. After a few embarassing sessions, we sit at the bar to chat about our journey. He also works for the Imperial Navy, though a low ranking transporter. He is on his way back to the Core Systems from Beagle Point. Cubeo Jet Council needed nav data for thoughts on possible future settlements out there. He was mentioning that the Abyss was driving him insane. I informed him of my courier missions from Prismatic Imperium to Colonia, then my scenic way back to the bubble via SAG A* and the Great Annihilator. He said if he wasn't on a deadline, he'd love to accompany me. He said he had one more day left in Colonia before the journey back. I figured, I do as well, so might as well have some company to sight see.
