Didi Vatermann's taste for Lavian Brandy is exceptional. I brought 22 extra canisters and she did not want them. No one in Leetsi, Zaonce or Lave wanted the stuff. Maybe it is like Fosters beer back home. People from the outside rave about it but no one there drinks it. Took a loss of 1800cr per canister on that one. At least it is gone. In hindsight I should have let those pirates have it... yet their bounty vouchers covered my loss. Complex galactic civilization and all that.
Did looks over the Python and fixes a few things. She wants to see what's in my "parts bucket" and I show her.
"We can work with this," she says.
She leads her crew over some of Felicity's work and enhances my shield boosters and main shield generator. Output increase over 30%. Noice.
"That's great work, Didi. Can you do my vulture as well?"
"Do I look like Hera Tani the cigar smoker to you?"
"Err... no."
Galaxy Logistics have the Core Dynamics Vulture I call "The Badger" in system while I fulfil a Fed contract to eliminate a troublesome pirate in neighbouring system. The intel points me at a low wake but then callsign "Ratman" is hitting my butt with FSD interdictor. I submit. Lo and behold the ship ID matches my contract.
"I'm gonna boil you up." Ratman hisses over the comm.
"Show me!" I challenged him.
He was trying to run within 5 seconds. Todd's work is really stellar.
The authorities back at George Lucas were happy and so was the Feds. Now I'm a "recruit" in the Fed Auxilliary.
I poked around trying to find a big wig that could help me donate towards rear Admiral but no luck, so far.

The Badger is just wheeling out of the workshops after its shields have been boosted by 50 mega joules. It's also had a frequency cycle alteration to deal with burst lasers and plasma hits. It has been too many hours since I slept so better go do that.
