So I've been due to make a log for... Just short of a week right now. Woah, time goes fast sometimes.
After I stayed at Aurora's quarters and we... Had some private time... She somehow changed her mind the morning after.
I thought we had something going on, but she suddenly blocked my attempts. Saying something like she wasn't sure about all of this and didn't mean to mislead me...
That was.. I don't know.. Hard to swallow somehow?
I mean, I never expected all of it to happen either, but still.
Anyhow, I guess that was my queue to pack up my stuff, kinda prepared to go back to just a professional relationship with Aurora.
Buuut of course she insisted that I stayed and there was no reason to run away, she also insisted on staying friends.
I had to meet up with that contact that required an escort for his mining endeavour, which I told her, so I had to leave anyway.
She somehow still wanted to tag along, but claimed she wasn't experienced in ship combat. Well that was a lie.
Long story short, I told her it'd be the perfect target practice and we soon after took off.
She handled herself really well, wouldn't have said she never, or barely did - I forgot which she mentioned - ship combat.
After some rather uneventful wait, a wing of pirates showed up.
Honestly I needed it, after all that happened... The whole Hivemind thing, my feelings, ... I could use some shooting, clear the mind y'know?
Also kind of let my sadistic side get the better of me... I felt playful so I disabled a pirate's ship and let him watch us kill his little friends, before killing him too. Gotta admit Aurora didn't seem to approve, but teaches him for preying on innocent souls, right?
After the contact finished mining, we returned back to the station of his choice to wrap things up.
Aurora suddenly had to return back to the Solaris, so I told her I'd follow soon after I finished concluding business... Or so I thought..
Right after concluding the contract, my contact grabbed me firm by my arm when I got up to leave. He suddenly got very serious and told me he had another contract, personal... Family matters.
As you can understand, I can't go into details too much. Just imagine this log getting out.
Either way, he required me to shadow someone and.. Dispose of them at my earliest convenience. Something about the target planning to pledge a coup in the contact's business. Eh, usual corpo stuff, not that I care too much.
Of course, I had to go dark for this mission, couldn't have any distractions or whatnot that could give me away.
The mission took longer than I thought, the target was too heavily guarded.. So I did the only other sensible thing when you can't simply take down one person, and I sabotaged his ship.
Had to make it look like an accident though, which was the hard part.
After I managed to get into his private hangar, I went and sabotaged his ship's fuel lines.
Can you even imagine how much work it is to get to a Clipper's fuel tank?! Beautiful on the outside, but they did their job a bit too well to make all the technical stuff worked away!
Anyway, when the poor guy and his detachment of merry men took of, the ship promptly exploded.
Sorry about that, high tech settlement. It was nothing personal I suppose.
When I finished the mission, I went to check my messages. Boy is Aurora clingy, got a bunch of messages from her.
Apparently she's worried sick about me, wondered why I took so long and never responded.
Ah well, I just sent her a message asking to go grab a drink, catch up after this week. I've got to pay her share for that mining escort mission anyway.
Alexis out.
