Look at the new kid driving the brand new Core Dynamics boat!
She's brand-spanking new, factory direct, and she. Is. Mine!
I couldn't bring myself to trade in Foxtail. The Cobra and I bailed out of the old system together, and been through a few scraps. I parked her and got a cheap rate on mooring. Besides, if I ever want to move anything in more bulk, I'll have to keep her around.
Petra on the other hand, she handles like a brick, a brick with twin Class-3 Burst Lasers! I know Mom and Dad wouldn't exactly be proud that their little boy got his pilot wings just to run out and try and get himself smeared across an asteroid but the money doesn't lie.
Pulled in a cool 10 million from the Knights of Karma jobs. More creds than I would've seen in my life pushing a desk and more exciting than shifting boxes around system in the safety of a Type-6.
Besides... With this being how they are, I think the galaxy may need every gun and trained pilot they can get. I might not be Elite, but at least it doesn't say "Novice" on my readout anymore.
I'm doing something good, I'm helping the galaxy, getting rid of these pirates and smugglers... Never mind the fact that I've done a bit of moving some less than cold goods before...
I'm still on the right side of the line.
Right?
Well, doesn't matter much. Still need some practice with the new bird. Shes a bit less touchy than Foxtail, but she growls like a big cat when she thrusts and that's only with the C class thrusters I could manage to fit in with the power plant. Maybe I should give some of these engineers a call and see if they can give me some tweaking advice...
