The Show Must Go On

The Show will go on, but it's going on without me for a minute. R&R officially begins today.We moved the Mainstage into Acihaut to begin performances last week, only to find the system in a state of War. The only way to get curtain up on schedule was to try and ascertain the good guys and do our best to help them secure a swift victory. Personally, I abhor violence, but I have to admit that it was a rush to get behind the controls of the Mundo Cani once again (whoever let us buy a Federal Corvette?!?), allowing The Clown access to the weapon systems while The Acrobat covered us in the SLF.
So things have quieted down for now, and shows are up and running on the Mainstage. Attendance has been good, and it's time for me to take some well earned travel time. I'm taking the Opera Ghost beyond the Bubble to do some research into Exobiology for a song cycle I've been working on. Also, the research should earn me some Pilot's Federation cred, and a higher ranking means more visibility, and more visibility means bigger audiences.
The Cast has their orders to maintain stability while I'm away, should things turn ugly in Acihaut again. I left my Dominator suit with The Strongman to deal with issues on the ground, and while I've given The Clown strict instructions to stay away from the flight deck of the Mundo Cani and the Valjean well, The Clown is The Clown. Let's just hope The Acrobat is around to keep him out of trouble. if he gets into too much hot water.
I'm really looking forward to this time away. Hopefully events in the Bubble won't bring me back too soon, but if duty calls, I'll be ready to do what's necesssary to keep The Show running. After all, The Show must go on.
