Following the battle for Tangi, I decided that a change of pace was needed. I’d been on the site of the battle for three days and that was enough frontline duty for some time. I arrived at Deciat to retrieve the Dawn from storage and, after a thorough clean and some tlc, began my journey towards Ceos, a Federal system situated just outside the Bubble region.
When I entered Ceos’ ingress point, I set a route to New Dawn Station where I promptly docked and took a few hours to relax at the starport bar. Once back onboard the Dawn, inside my quarters, I listened to a playback of a data pack sent to me by a partner in the Federal navy. The recording informed me of lucrative business opportunities that would bolster my reputation and standing within the Federal navy. Knowing the integrity of my partner, I realised that this offer was legitimate and, sure enough, work was readily available for me when I perused the assignment listings on the starport’s network.
The work consisted mainly of data delivery missions; sensitive communications is what I thought it must be. Some biowaste and food shipments alongside meant that I had transitioned from a combat pilot to a logistics officer in the space of a day, but it was a welcome break from high-paced shootouts. I became very accustomed to the Ceos-Sothis route and, after countless deliveries, I’ve managed to increase my standing to that of Lieutenant Commander. To think that I’ve gathered more influence in the Federal navy through delivery errands than through combat is quite amusing, but I fully credit my partner in the value of this recent venture and their generosity in sharing it with me.
Unfortunately, times are looking rough in Ceos and Sothis at the moment, with widespread civil unrest and pirating activity. Luckily, I’ve only been interdicted a few times by pirate scum, but the Dawn hasn’t been retrofitted for combat so I’m hoping that the system security level up their presence and repress the incursions soon.
Until next Commanders. Fly safe.
