The Grind
18 Feb 2020Harpersteel
Stardate 3306, February 18th a Tuesday.I have been running cargo and passengers from Cresswell in my home system of Saffron. Grinding out as many missions as I can to finally afford a type 10 defender. I need it to up my game and to represent my Merchant fleet. I have had passengers from hell, one guy spent the entire trip on the toilet and refused to close the door. He kept yelling over the intercom to bring more toilet paper. I so wanted to vent to toilet into space. See how a little zero G cleans him our. Another lady was a banker and she demanded over a gallon of hand sanitizer. She used it all up on I do not know what, and I am not sure I want to know. My favorite was I had a little girl leave her favorite blanket in my prime cargo hole, Not sure how she got in there, but the family waited until the hold was filled with Bio-Waste before they came back with a crying child needing her blanket. I swam through Waste for an hour before I found it and then she didn't want it any more because it stank, and so did I. I still smell that stuff.
such is the grind of a merchant pilot.
