Been part of a wing for a while, but never really participated in anything, and then some fellow Cmdrs spoke about basing up somewhere together. So, I left the wing I was with, and set about gathering my fleet from various bases around the bubble.I'd got them all there, then set about doing some courier missions. Found one on the BB in the station canteen, and made contact with the faction rep about taking it on.
"22 minutes fella, get this stuff to my contact in Lansbury, 22k for you at the other end"
"22? do you realise its a Sunday?"
"And the problem is Cmdr?"
"It's a bleedin Sunday mate, thats the problem. Those hyperspace lanes a piggin mare on Sundays, and you bloody well know it. 22 for 22. Your having a laugh."
"Take it or stop wasting my time Cmdr, if you don't think you have the skills then do one."
"Another 5k on top and I'll take it. More than my rep is worth this is."
Blank silence ensued.
"Jeez your a hard nut aren't you. If I don't take it, maybe no one will."
"I will have saved myself 22k then won't I"
He has a point I supposed.
"Right I'll do it, but you'd better put a good word in with your bosses when I deliver this."
"Deliver it and you'll get your money and a voice in their ear from me. Just make sure you deliver."
I took the package and started to make my way to the gents,
"Clocks ticking Cmdr!"
No time took take a leak before I leave either. he is a hard one.
Witchspace was a little stop and start but I made it with 3 mins to go. Good to his word though, I got my 22k and a hefty good word in his boss's ear. Might try him again for some more money, hopefully larger contract.
