Trivia and a Return to BB missions.
25 Nov 2015Jim Beaumont
I spent yesterday in the station bar at Xelabara, the previous days Pirate hunting exploits sapped the energy somewhat. No better way than propping up the bar and downing a few sherbets to recharge the batteries. Doombar is the drink of favour. It's an ancient brew from Earth in the Sol system, a 'bitter' from England as it was then known. Fantastic drink. You need to try it.Then some crazy woman in the corner, obviously had been testing the local beverages for a while decided to pull out the 'Guess the Intro' game from under the bar. Some weird game you play with little cards with questions on ... little plastic pieces that move around a cardboard 'game board' ... and some shiny disk you insert into a machine so it can play music! Jeez, how old was that thing?
Anyway, turned out that we knew quite a bit of the music that was playing on this disk thingy. Looks like music ended in 2005, and after that all 'new' music was just a rehash 'old' music that had been and gone before. So after 6 hours of drinking and music, I fell out of the bar and into the FAS, for some sleep.
Following the well earned sleep, with a slightly sore head, I began to make some trips to various systems to clear down the catalogue of bounty monies I was owed from all over the place. Little did I know I was owed nearly 3 million cr all told. I collected just over 2 million, the rest would have to wait till those stupid bounties for the 'bumps' I had the other day have decayed enough to make a safe return. Still. Cash in the bank, I'll be back out this way to collect the CG money from Xelabara at the same time as well. And maybe some more Doombar!
I think tonight I'll just run some BB missions. I've got no firm plans for the near future. Take it as it comes, and see where it takes me.
