Georgie

DeLacy India Mike Mike, you are cleared to dock. Welcome to Thierree hub, commander. They say that bandits come and go. But clearly they've never met Georgie.
George De Koning, he's akin to an ex-lover who just couldn't let go. Georgie and I, we're two sides of the same coin, really. The yin to my yang, rosemary to my thyme, and pain to my behind. No matter which system I jumped to, there he was, calling me his eagle, lil' fishy, even plain old commander. The last one hurt the most. We went through so much, Georgie! Each time we met, we followed the same old song and dance. I shook my tail, he tried to catch it. Once or twice I slipped and he hit me hard. Even this repair detour is because he left me with barely enough hull to survive.
Georgie, if ever this log made its way to you: I know you don't want me for me. It's my cargo and data that you fancy. I don't blame you, Georgie.
Your clients want what my clients have, we're naught but pawn in this space chess.
A sane person would tell me that this could have been avoided. Had I not simultaneously accepted so many data missions and agreed to a handful of cargo mission, I wouldn't have been a blip in anyone's radar. As things stand, I still have 10 open cargo missions and 4 courier missions. I wonder how many more factions hired Georgie to intercept these missions. Georgie, in our latest encounter I saw that hidden under your yellow jacket, is a cybernetic arm. perhaps I could learn more about you the next time our paths cross.
Looks like my ship's repair is finished. I'm sure that the credits that the mechanics earned on this one job is enough to feed their families for a month. One of the younger mechanics even remarked that it would be easier if I had blown up this ship and let the insurance company purchase a new one for me. Oh well, these outbreak-preventing medicines and self-defense (yeah, right) weapons aren't going to deliver themselves. You ready, Georgie?
DeLacy India Mike Mike, you have cleared the no fire zone. Fly safe, commander.
