For Having Climbed the Ladder

This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet accomplished; A marriage to a fine wo... I mean, access to Tiana Fortune.Tiana only works with friends of the Empire. Military machines don't generally light my afterburners, but who doesn't like more (well paying) friends? Friendly I am. Tiana wanted Decoded Emissions Data; 50 scans worth. I have gathered them. Fortune, like Jameson, sits behind a System Permit. One I do not yet have. How do I get it? Another promotion! I've just made Master and now I have to bust my hump all over again. Having climbed the ladder I now face a mountain...
Well, the labor should be fruitful at least. I have earned enough for the A-Class Power Plant thanks to the Li Yong-Rui discount. However, insurance is going to go up considerably once I have it fitted, regardless of mark-down. Probably going to need another 6 or 7 million, just to be safe. Then, who knows... maybe I'll look into that little Imperial Courier, perhaps try my hand people moving.
Earnings have been slowing down lately. Local wars are protracting and I am picking up a general feeling of battle weariness among my clients. Hopefully emergency medical runs will give way to remote point service contracts sooner rather than later.
