[[....okay]]
> I can always count on your delightful apathy Leo...
[[...okay]]
Not sure why I went with LEO as Covas... maybe because I like a cool headed... dare I say bored? response under fire... maybe because out in the black and in dangerous places the last thing I want is to become attached to my AI if it came with a sexy voice? at any rate at least his apathy is something I can count without question 100% of the time.... no errors... the way I like it.
I took my sweet time getting back to Jameson's Memorial. I left the "comforts" of the Cemiess Medical Facility somewhat rested knowing I saved quite a few lives... and yes after finding out my girl from the Galnet feed was not only alive and well but a member of Princess Duval's court.
The deck officer had a particuarly hurried look to him today.. "Commander EAGLE 5?"
>Yeah..
"Compliments of Lady Livernois and The Empire of Arissa Lavigny-Duval" and he left rather hurriedly
Tha F... is this?
It was a very ornate box... old from the looks of it, made from the finest red and blue dyed leathers from the hides of Exoician game. I slipped off the silk tie securing the lid shut and found inside a beautifully hand crafted Cobra Mk.III model replica bedazzled with blue topaz gemstones. The way the ship glistened under the station's artifical light made it seem alive... almost as if it had its own shield generator working hard to deflect the impacts from my fingers...
> You gotta be kidding me?
The ship registration was the same as mine EQ-095 in essence a replica of my ship the Liberty as if it had been scanned and replicated one to one....
except.... it wasn't my current Liberty... rather a replica of what it looked like back in 3300...
> The damn capital ship in Sorbago must have scanned me after taking out those port side plasma accelerator turrets...
The slave rebellions! of course! I was there to aid the rebels which shockingly Princess Duval backed in the fight for freedom against that old witch Zemina Torval...
There was also a message: "Please accept this gift from myself and Princess Duval as a token of our appreciation for your efforts in Cemiess.. your flying antics and performance did not go unnoticed. Consider yourself as having friends in the Empire now"
Friends in the Empire... can things get any more strange?
