Message to meet
20 Jan 2021FF3Kefka
I want to start keeping a log in case things go sideways for me. My name is John Hendry. I'm a 32-year-old independent pilot, rated Elite for what it's worth, and I think I might have gotten myself killed just now.
See, my main source of income is popping members of the Brani Blue Syndicate, don't worry about why. Let's just say I owe them. So, I make cash off the bounties, and I figure, these are pirates operating in Yuri Grom's territory. Guy isn't a fan of disorder, so I figure I'm pretty safe just liquidating pirates in an indie system.
Well, my buddy Liz Rider, engineer friend of mine who I bring materials to from time to time, reached out to me and said she noticed something in her analysis of the NMLA bombs she's been looking into. She says it partially matches the signature of some (allegedly) discontinued weapons that came from a company based out of Brani.
So anyway, I'm looking into this for Liz, seeing if the Brani Blue know anything about the situation. So I've got this idiot dead in the water-- I mean he was done. Engines blown out, turrets disabled, the works. So I'm questioning the guy, threatening to perforate his cockpit if he doesn't tell me what I want to know. But he finishes a scan of my ship, and sees that I do part-time work for Pranav Antal.
He starts talking about how he's gonna tell Antal what I'm doing and he's gonna kill me. Well, I don't take too well to threats, so I let the guy have a couple multicannon rounds through the cockpit before he could get a message out. But now I'm worried. What does Antal have to do with this weaponry? I need to ask some questions around his space and see what I can dig up.
