Big Problema

Captains log, V Clara
It’s April 7
and I’m in deep shit
This may be my final log
I’m sitting on the landing pad and I have six security vessels above me with weapons drawn.
I was testing the new systems with the new software and apparently, accidentally, fired a missile in the Landing bay…
A precision strike that blew the south hinge of the door and the entire door collapsed inward.
Lucky shot I guess, I couldn’t duplicate that if I tried.
Then I saw another ship get shot down by the same security ships that are above me.
And these guys look really pissed
Yeah, that missile really pissed them off
Standing by. More later if I survive. Happy belated birthday wishes to powa…

Captains log
Supplemental
I am still alive.
And I have not been dragged off to a detention center
The standoff lasted the better part of two hours.
And the fines…
Oh my God the fines
I’m going to be dusting cobwebs and sweeping decks in the station for years to pay off these fines.
The people at Galileo were absolutely pissed.
They are making me pay for the door, and then some.
They also confiscated half my modules.
Oh, and the other ship that got shot down by security…
As it turns out, it was a smuggler who had illegal cargo. He skipped his preflight checks and took off when my missile struck the door. It must have spooked him.
But he tried to exit the launching bay and ignored Security when they told him to stand down. He apparently activated his weapon systems and that’s when they fired on him.
So that’s why another ship got shot down when I fired that missile. Oops. Sorry fella.
I have had to post pone my meeting with Uveal Pepper, The man in charge of the mission who has hired me, so that I can get everything straightened out. He didn’t sound happy about that.
Once I get my ducks in a row, I will update the log.
