The Trail is Cold

Managed to take out the spy that had been following me. Not sure who she radioed before I got to her but they were on their way. I was able get off Mitchell Station before they arrived and was in the clear, so I thought.I had jumped with no destination in mind, just kind of a proverbial "Sunday Drive", you know, to clear my head. Never fun taking a life, although she damn near took mine, highly trained, extremely deadly, never even got her name. I'm sure her friends are just as pleasant.
Just as I started to get comfortable I'm yanked out of Hyperspace, three of them, I was in for a fight. Luckily just added some upgrades to Ripley and hired a decent pilot for my fighter. He proved useful.
Needless to say we took them out. I guess I'll keep him around, was never much for company but he hasn't annoyed me once and is always wrenching away on Ripley trying to make improvements. So far so good.
In SuperCruise now enjoying some coffee, we took sleep shifts to keep moving, it seems it's all I've been doing, sleeping, drinking and running.
I wonder if they'll ever stop coming,
I wonder if I'll ever be able to stop running.
I wonder how many of them I will have to kill before they stop.
For now the trail is cold, but how long before they find me again,
I wonder.
