January 10th 3302. Riding with the Immortals
11 Jan 2016Torrente
Now, I know there's fun moments to be havin' on the routes, but taking a break from rankin' up with them Imperials and enjoying a break on Yamaha's Grave on Achenar is... something else.I met about 5 other commanders of the flying branch of the Empire in the capitol system. Beautiful Eagles, Clippers, even an all-white Python. Just for the kicks. And it was fun, playing jokes on each other, and showing off that beauty that my San José is. I called it a night early, though. Lots of light years to be run today, since I want to cash in on most of the bounties or trade dividends I've got left, today, but it certainly was a good time with these little fellas that remind me a lot of my youth, how I used to ride in my home rock. And no, I don't dwell of returning since the Alliance's got its grip tight on it...
In any case, it's business as usual today. I managed to meet with the old friend, Flyingwarthog, who showed me a place in Cubeo the Empire is quite keen on whiping out time and time again. Quite so many merits to be made towards my slow but steady progression in ranks with the Empire. Problem is I've never set up a ship for heavy combat, and to take down one of those Goliaths you need to be packing hard. Almost got the Atlante-II Clipper wiped, but we pulled it out and managed to get the heck out of there in time. Quite a good day, all in all.
