Well would you look at that...!

Well that was exciting. After the ship went in to get repaired and rebranded, the old "Bucket O' Bolts" is back up and running and with a shiny new Scarab to boot. A few tweeks from some interesting people and she is even better than the day I was forced to buy her after the T9 did a nosedive in trying to avoid the Imperial Blockade. Made a stash of cash but then you need to be alive to spend it. Having done the crew member bit for a while as the boat was in to get fixed, I got a call from an old friend, Gaspard Rexinova. He reminded me that I owed him for helping out when the Alliance of Freelancers folded spectacularly with the Imperial Customs busting some corruption after they had fitted me up for some dodgy tax evasion stuff all because I had noticed and questioned the route they were taking. Made a few enemies there for sure.Anyways, Gaspard and I went off in search of the gear that we had hidden. Me in a shiny new Viper named after my mum (I'm sappy like that) and Gaspard in his Python found the gear and off the back of it, long story short, we made enough to keep Gaspard from handing me over to the authorities and for me an exchange for a rather nice Imperial Eagle of all things....! This little beastie has assisted me in getting back over the Imperial lines without getting my bonce shot off or arrested. So far so good...!
Staying in the bubble right now. Not getting too adventuresome for now. The old combat skills are rusty but still there. I won't go looking for trouble but if it finds me I will be ready for it. So given my time as someone else's gopher its time to stretch out and figure out how this all hangs together.
Glad to be back!
