Double PromotionThis morning I flew a quick data drop as capstone to my ascension from Chief to Warrant Officer with the Federal Navy. Late this evening, a pirate assassination culminated my ascension from Master to Squire with the Imperial Navy. Federal progress...
7.5 Million7.5 million. That's how much this bloody Python will cost me if I let ambitions get the better of me. The price for complacency is very real. I almost paid it yesterday. The scenario was typical: Two hours deep in an H-RES, looking for pirates of a particular...
For Having Climbed the LadderThis promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet accomplished; A marriage to a fine wo... I mean, access to Tiana Fortune. Tiana only works with friends of the Empire. Military machines don't generally light my afterburners, but who...

A vacuum for the vacuumBeen freelancing for a while now. The wants of Engineers are so varied I couldn't help it. Some want booze, others, contract killing. That bastard Palin had me chasing photons half-way to Colonia. It's enough to drive a moral man to space himself! Have...
Robbing Peter to Pay PaulHad to pilfer the Fer-de-Lance fund. Needed Asp money for the Palin 5K - rather, 10K since only fools book one way tickets into the black. That hurt. Stars at 10ls is a good ship though. Bit like flying a Hockey puck, but she'll do 42 a hop. Almost twice...
