Today I nearly died. A simple run out to the Harm system to collect the Rebel Princess from where she was undergoing a refit. There's not much a commander can do when he is ambushed by two Cobras, whilst flying a stock hauler, and a cargo of food to trade. It was only quick thinking that enabled me to escape, jettisoning the cargo and using the gravity of the nearby star to slingshot away and safety. But not without serious damage. The canopy had blown and I'd taken a severe beating myself. I managed to limp to the nearest outpost and land safely. The ship could be repaired....Myself, well. The medics are good these days. I'm going to have a pretty scar, and the ocular implant is going to take some getting used to. But on the bright side, I asked them to implant me with the latest nanites, which means no longer am I going to be foliclly challenged.
I've resumed my journey to harm and should be rendevousing with the Rebel Princess shortly. And god help those raiders if I encounter them on the way back to Ix.
