In the Periphery - Raising funds and finding allies
03 Dec 2016Vandal Stormovik
Well this is it. I finally made the plunge and traveled to the edge of "civilized" space to work for those that have a similar vision of the future. With a new coat of bright white paint on my Viper IV to show off my new allegiance, I have started the hard work of raising funds for this mission. How else will the Concordat be able to attract the faithful to our cause and prepare for the inevitable? I only hope we have enough time. More reports of alien crash sites come in every day, but how many are true and how many are just the story of drifters trying to squeeze another Eviljuice out of their tavern-mates? Only time will tell. Perhaps I will make the pilgrimage this month and see the ruins for myself.This old Viper has definitely seen better days. At some point the old lady and I need to go and see one of those engineers and get a tune-up....for that matter I could use one as well. Fighting these pirates around Harma is definitely putting her through her paces. This is a different part of space to be living in. Funny thing with Harma...here the pirates are the government and even smaller pirates feed on them. All I know is Delisle pays well for the bounties, and I need my pockets full to pull this off.
Ok, short prayer to the divine that the end holds off just a few more days and I am out to the rings again to protect the extraction site. Maybe just a couple more runs and then I will look for some recruits in the markets.
