The Switch [8A] So here I am after a year dirtside. Dieter and I had to just to be safe; it started to feel like there were people with white rings lurking behind me at every port. Even posing as a Rear Admiral didn't do shit. I don't even get why they needed...
The Admiral [7a] Been weeks since I'd had the time to log in. Running around in Hayabusa since then; me and Dieter've been trying to stay clean and low, and so far it's been working. While in-system at Taribes I answered a distress call. I usually stay out of things...
The Beacon [6a] Finished Leesti job; uneventful, thankfully. Kid stayed with the ship while I wrapped things up before we headed out. Since this was Lucas Station, the place had some of the best toy shops anywhere, and I took a side trip and bought him a Falcon...
The Jump [5a] The kid and I made it back to the ship after taking the long way around, ducking through alleyways and side streets while I kept my head on a swivel, though I was sure no one was behind us (at least not yet). The ring wasn't meant to tell me they...
The Liftoff [4a Supplemental] I'd only visited Sol once since I left. Five years is five years and always a day too many. As much as I wanted to land someplace on Earth and walk into my old home like nothing had ever happened, I couldn't. Even if I touched down on the opposite...
The White Ring [4a] Wrapped up the Mongatha contract and headed to Zhen at Xihe. Thought I'd get it over with to shut up the nagging inside my head. Called ahead to let Kasdan (the baymaster) know I was coming. His face was smug; didn't need to say anything to tell...
The Man in the MaskAkihiro Onizuka, callsign Kurotama, is an Earthborn pilot of Japanese descent, age undisclosed. After a brief and uneventful stint as a pilot for the Japanese Imperial Space Defense Force, Onizuka ran jobs for the Japanese mob until a bad deal forced...
The Twin Swords [3a] Order for Vulture came in today. Not sure why I sprang for it; just thought I'd try flying something else. Took a few (expensive) tweaks to get it to fly right. So far so good. Named it "Musashi" after an ancestor. When I was a kid on...
The Kid [2a] Back at Neville and I found a message waiting for me. The baymaster at Xihe'd been trying to reach me for a while. Seems the can I knocked over coming in from my close call broke open. It was a slave can some poor sap dumped after a mission gone...
The Close Call [1a] Thought I'd hunt a few bounties while I hung out at Xihe. Going well until one guy made me bite off more than I could chew. Went toe-to-toe with a Deadly-ranked Fed Gunship, nearly all by myself until a few passers-by started throwing in some shots...
