Playing the part
12 Sep 2016Conuvus
With the galaxy as big as it is, it's easy to get by being unnoticed. Just another traveler passing through, "G'day, I'll be on my way." Yes life is easy that way, but it pay to have friends. Not only do they treat you better they also stop stiffing you on the paycheck, 'less red tape' as they say. It helps to cozy up to any who also have Federal or Imperial ties. Then you really get a benefit, access to their naval ships! An offer too sweet. It's all part of the business doing their errands, seems like they have a never ending list of things that need doing. Having started my career in Federation space it was only natural I'd make nice. But boy if I could see the look on my old contacts faces now to learn that lowly CMDR in a hauler went on to become a rear admiral! Though with all the other 'Vettes flying around it better to keep a ,relatively, low profile in my 'Conda. They'd probably be shocked to learn I was also consorting with the Empire at the same time. And after all that I went on to join the ranks of the Alliance. Ah, yes, making friends is nice, a discount Asp?!? Well don't mind if I do.
So naturally when I came across a permit locked system I was curious. What secrets do you hide, Peregrina? My experience with other independents has been most fruitful, the Silver Boys of Crom had their own, shall we say, 'commodity' that some markets are willing to compensate a copious credit for. That was none too hard to make friends with access to their black market, a few precious gems and they warm right up to ya. These Aristocrats, however, think they're too good for such things and keep everything above board. In theory I get it, but c'mon its a big galaxy, no ones going to fault you for making a little money on the side. No? Fine your way. Me playing the errand boy. All this because my insatiable curiosity. It's been over two weeks and they still won't let me in, I'm beginning to question of all this work is even worth it...
