Leaving Everything Behind

First Captain’s Log on the KaitakushaI guess this is the last time I’ll see a lot of what I’m familiar with in... who knows how long. The life of a bounty hunter has just been beating down on me. It’s oppressive. And I’m stuck between being hated by one bunch of people, and admired relentlessly by others. There’s not much left for me here. I’m afraid I’m going to die one day and the only thing I’ll be remembered for is taking out a few criminals. I’ll be a footnote. But that’s not the main reason I’m leaving. I want to see the galaxy. The vast majority of people in this galaxy never even see a quarter of a percent of it. I have the opportunity of a lifetime, having access to a pilot’s federation license and all, to do what many people never will be able to.
So a few days back I bought a new Asp Explorer, set my sights on the Pleiades, and stocked up on everything I’ll need. I’m setting off for Maia later today. That’ll be
my first stop. I’m not sure where I’ll go from there, but I know I just want to go far.
