The Limper is on it's way to Merope.

Call me crazy, call me childish, call me whatever you want. Something is coming, and I'm going to have a warship on hand when it does. If nothing else, maybe I can buy a few minutes for the transports to get refugees out.I've spent a good bit of time in the Pleiades, and it's never felt like this before. There's a...fragile silence in the air, like a whisper will shatter everyone. The ground crews that were refueling the Longstrider kept glancing up at the sky, like one of those flower ships was just going to appear and do us all in.
I've got a contact in Imperial space, a friend back from my days as a Pennyless trader. He's sitting on a treasure trove of resonating separators, more than I could ever transport. It's a long trip, to Maia and back, but it's reliable. I wish that I had been able to get a Cutter before all of this started, but there just wasn't enough time.
There just isn't enough time anymore.
