I got it. We made the bet with the boys, and I succeeded. Me, the once trash scrapper from a shitty crumbling extraction outpost, bought an Anaconda. One of the largest ship manufactured in the galaxy.Who would have guessed ? Who would have guessed that, 11 years ago, when a bounty hunter named Morgan Swale offered me to join them, that would be the start of a brand new life. Certainly not me. Before that, I was stuck on Weil beacon for 10 freaking years, struggling, depressed. I was not fitting in there and this place literally made me sick.
But I was lucky, Morgan chose me to join their crew, and I ran away. Best decision of my life, despite having been taken on a whim. Before leaving Weil Beacon, I made a bet with two of my best friends: next time I'll come back, it'll be with a ship too large for any of the station's pad. I didn't believed it myself, I didn't even know if that was possible. They both laughed at me, and I was telling my self that may be a reason not to ever come back. But I was over-confident and excited by the promises of good pay, independence and freedom.
And now, I did it.
Still won't be coming back for a while, though.
Having bought this huge space truck makes me think of when I got my first ship ... A Sidewinder from Delacy, that I still have, stored at The Tavern. Everything feels different now. I can't get rid of all the memories. Sitting in the sidey doesn't make feel strangely proud and... kinda, I don't know. Free ? I can't put a word on the feeling. Everything was new and exciting. I can't get back to this.
I took this beast bounty hunting in the rings near home, and it's so satisfying. It actually flies pretty well for a vessel that size. Definitely heavier, but still maneuverable. I'm now reinstalling some mining equipment again to go to the Hyades Sector mining spot, get a few million credits, before getting it prepared for this week-end's expedition.
