The four weeks wait for clearance to get Li-Yong Rui's special weapon have past. Actually six weeks have past and I ventured back into the bubble to see where I could apply the service required by the Sirius Co. I found myselve in powerplay cycle 141. Empress Arissa Lavigny was going for a campaign agaist the system Yanerones. As it happens, this expansion was pretty hostile against Sirus Co. It would cut deep into the Apalok bubble. Unfortunatly no CEO of Sirus Co. was available. To me it seemed like if Sirius Co was abandoned at that time. Maybe the corporation has withdrawn it's forces out of powerplay concentrating it's business power on some other goals. Maybe they are deep in AX research, or whatever...
I used the opportunity to shoot another couple dozen ships of the beloved Empress to get my rank and with it the pack hounds. So this year I'll be able to celebrate New Years eve with proper fireworks.
During my time with Sirius I also noticed gossip of several other lost systems. It seems there is no shipyard that sells the Cutter for a discount anymore. Business for old Li seems not to go too well.
However, as most times, it's not of my concern. I'll keep following the track of the old pirate lord and will be looking for a nice Anarchy system to call my home. Until that time, I'll have a new project imposed upon me. I'll try to fit a nice piracy FAS. Well, I think maybe I can put the ressources of humankind to some better uses. All that gems and antiquitys and cold diamonds shipped to the jaded and corrupt leaders and pompous merchant lords will fill my treasure box for an upcomoming investment into a proper AX-defese ship.
