Log 9-Dangerous Chaos

Been a bit since I wrote one of these. And for good reason too-so much has been happening. Unfortunately, some of the biggest things are bad.I got into some major hot water with the Raiders of StKM 1-442. Did I ever mention that I was actually bought before my escape was made? The ship I escaped from back then was en route to my buyer…who ambushed me with a team at a base in Buzhang Ku to ‘reclaim lost goods’. My ‘buyer’, Nanurjuk, or “Nanurjurkass” as I call him, escaped, but not unscathed, same with myself. Immediately contacted the Chapterhouse Inquisitor (as he claimed), Jubei, which sent the three of us to seek them out. Made a new enemy there too, one that can out-fight me. I have to try harder…
My fleet’s also grown larger, at this time I’m up to twenty-seven ships. Or more accurately, twenty-five ships, one ship in progress, and a ship that I don’t know what to do with at this time. A couple ships of note happened to be an Imperial Cutter and a Federal Corvette. To make a long story short, the amount of time I’ve put in wiping out Raiders has paid off, and I’ve gotten some fairly nice rewards as a result-such as access to these ships. The Corvette was outfitted for mining, while the Cutter is a work in progress, intended to be a ship that allows me to still hunt raiders if I’m sick or injured. In addition, I’m replicating the ship Kezika came in to rescue me, and managed to, while following Kezika on a tipoff, acquire an Imperial Courier that I have no plans for at this time. I’ll hold onto it, after all, it’s free. The same tipoff led to a decent amount of credits and some other goodies.
The expedition that I signed up for is coming up in a couple weeks, but I have less time to prepare, as CEA Psychiatric is currently at war, specifically against the Keltim Empire League. This is the second time we went to war against them, the first time was to take control of StKM 1-442, as Kezika wanted to put an end to the anarcho-slavery problem there once and for all-and I agree with her! The current war is to take one last planetary outpost that we didn’t manage to capture during the last one.
All in all, it seems like a lot is happening, both good and bad-which means I have to be much more careful than before…
