Time in prison for "war crimes".Look, I did no such thing. That is part of being a federal marine though right? The guy above me commits an offense and points at me. Like hell they are going to believe a grunt over Rear Admiral " Look At All The Gold On My Uniform". 30 years locked up.....
Oh I see, you need pilots because you screwed the pooch eh? So you guys punt me out of the clink and leave me with a shit bucket sidewinder and say "Go kill some bugs" Are you kidding me? You people started this shit, one would think you learned your lesson the first time. Reading up on this I have got to wonder if you gloryhounds in charge ever see farther than your own bottom lines and power. Myopia... forest.. trees and all that.
I never piloted anything bigger than an eagle. I haven't fired a weapon in years. A guy that I did time with says I should think about going to the Ngalinn system. he says I should be able to make some quick easy credits running missions there. Sounds like a plan. I can get me an eagle, mount some missiles on it. Then I can get me some gear and practice my trigger finger as a merc of some sort.
The hell else am I going to do with a Sidewinder? Throw pebbles at Thargoids?
It's your mess not mine. The way I see it either you are going to win it or lose it and one little pea shooter isn't going to help. I bet I can make a good amount while all the reputable turds are fighting the war for honor and glory and all that. I'll use the last bit of the stipend they gave me on release for a new identity.
Stygian Vox seems like a good name.
