I’m mighty happy the Empire is recognizing my worth, after quite a bit. I’m not exactly cheery about the odd assassination jobs, but I’m proving myself useful by carrying stuff far and fast, and smuggle it in, where applicable. My old Virgen del Rocío, my python, always gets the job done. In the end I rely more on it with these jobs, and bounty hunting, that the Anaconda, which I can’t yet equip for war (that’d take about 600 millions…).So basically, I’ve applied to be the “face” of a colony, loyal to the Empire (unlike Pangborn in Tepertsi), who’s a pretty decent market for Imperial slaves, and I can sell those by my buddies in Paras.
Speaking of which, I’m glad things have calmed down over there. Still a small civil war going on, involving two small imperial factions, but the whole elections things between the Immortals and another major player ended up with them getting the second station, an outpost with a market, and now they want the third and last one… We’ll see about that, though.
My short term priority is getting back to the trade routes. I have a milestone I want to get before resuming my jobs for the Imperial Auxiliary Navy. Now that I have a reputation, I’ll be expected in the hottest combat theaters. Not exactly lookin’ forward for that but only way to get promoted to Duke, some day, and being able to get me a Cutter, to maximize trading profits.
When that is done I’ll turn the San José either into an exploration vessel or a war Anaconda. I’m counting of having enough credits, by then, but that will take some time.
