A Shot at Redemption
06 Jan 2021Konner_Salutaris
I use to find solace in being alone constantly in the void. I felt the haunting images to those I've removed from this Mortal Coil left no room for such an idea as Companionship. They kept me plenty of company. Both awake and in my nightmares.Hard enough just keeping myself alive much less anyone else, the confrontation with those bounty hunters at Mitchell Station proved that. She almost had me, almost.
Through all this I found a pilot after adding a Hanger Bay to Ripley, he is good at what he does and knows when to leave me be. His Card playing ability is on par with my own and I have no problem taking his credits most of the time.
Recently after keeping Ripley in silent mode at an Extraction Site until we found a couple good bounties, we did what we do. Took them out. Surprisingly we were assisted by a friend of my new pilot, a memeber of the New Pilot Initiative Squadron. I happen to do lots of work for them out of Dahan Gateway Station. He recognized I was 100% Allied with them and asked to meet up for a drink and talk opportunity, I obliged.
Walked out of the pub with a fellow Commander at my wing and a Squadron at my back. I joined. Always swearing I'd a loner but honestly the only way I'm I'm gonna find peace is through helping others and from the sounds of it they'll keep me busy. After all these years could this be the light in the Blackness of the Void I've needed?
Time will tell.
Until then I'll do my part.
Might help quiet the voices of the dead.
But it was certain the faces of those who lives I have taken that haunt me would soon be having company themselves.
