Log #10 Stardate 26.01.3304 Undercover dirty work again
26 Jan 2018Erinia Scantyar
I once again had to deal with unfavorable work. To catch the attention of a man called "the dweller" who was pointed out as usefull by the major I had to smuggle a certain amount of goods to 5 different black market locations. I hate doing illegal things. But that´s just me. I pulled my cover identity out again. "Mara Dúlain".Than I started prepairing a ship for the smuggling tour. I tried to remember what a certain person told me about smuggling.
It was on my day off at Citi Gateway. I was in the bar of the Olive Grove. It was getting late. Kyla Emmerich and I were still drinking and talking. She mentioned her profession as smuggler and out of couriosity I asked:
"How do you actually use a ship for smuggling?"
Kyla chuckled and answered:"Just be quick and stay cold."
"Is that all?" I wanted to know.
"Don't fly like you're trying to hide something, of course!" she told me.
"I see. Thank you!" I chuckled as well and we kept talking about all kinds of stuff.
Okay. I needed a ship that would be flying while emitting as few heat as possible. The Assassin would fit nicely. She´s a Diamondback Scout and I use her for contracts that require being... hmm... lets say... discrete.
I let the groundcrew unplug all the bulkheads I had mounted into her for combat and replace them with cargo racks. After that there was no more waiting.
*sigh* As said: I don´t like doing illegal stuff so the conclusion will be brief: I delivered the goods and got contacted by "the dweller". After pying him 500 grand - greedy bas...- he was willing to engineer my ships if I required it. Thanks to Kylas tips all went down smoothly. I really am greatfull for that.
Upon arriving back at Mueller Station in Zelano I received another message from the major:"Good work Ms. Scantyar. Please meet me at Dawes Hub in Achenar to receive the ship I promissed you."
After ordering the groundcrew to reconfigure the Assassin for her original purpose I went to the bar for some drinks.
"I wonder what ship he´ll have for me this time..."
