The screen lights up. A young woman is a few feet away, leaning on what looks to be a fightercraft's engine. She hops to her feet, walking towards the camera and smiling. Heeey! You'll never believe this. First day out in my bucket o' bolts and we did some MAJOR damage! Man, you should've seen the cryin' Admirals, sitting in their rustbuckets as torps slam into them...
But uh, to not get ahead of myself - I started out by slappin' one of those XA- identifiers on a Roc and a Raven's Talon - my pride and joy - and headed out. First, I met Siobhan - I think that's the name - messin' with junkers in Cortez. We had some good fun, even met a junker who thought it'd be wise to run from us. He finally dropped his pricey cargo, and we forced him back t' where he came from. Apparently though, he decided to off himself instead. Poor sod. She laughs, before grabbing a bottle from offscreen. It has a blue coloration to the bottle, similar to Liberty Ale - she takes a few large gulps before setting in down again.
Ah, so then - right as that junker barrels into the star, a bunch o' people show up. Junkers, Police, LSF...even a BHG showed up to the party. We outran 'em, though. First ta' Dryden in Ontario, then ta' Ouray in Colorado. We had a bit of party there, meetin' up with Sarah. Another junker tried to fly past, but we stopped him! We were nice, though - just made him drop some o' his cargo - including - this! She waves the bottle in front of the screen, and then juts her thumb to two more bottles on a crate stacked near the fighter. Drank the other two already. Good stuff. Anyway...So we're talkin', havin' a good time, and then this big Navy ship comes knockin'! And he's like, "Xenos! We're gonna kill you!" all big and mighty like. So I swap out my baby for my Roc, and me, Sarah, and Siobhan, as well as a couple other Xenos, go to town on the Navy who came 'a knockin. I made short work of their fighter - man, antimatter looks great when it's being shoved up a Sutinga's cockpit - and then we focused down their mighty steed. Not before it took Siobhan's engine, though, so she had to float back to Ouray. She stops for a moment, before muttering something along the lines of "gotta go fix that..." So anyway. We get a couple more Xenos in, and we take out their OTHER capital ship, force their little light fighter dumbo to dock, and also chase the LSF gunboat that followed us from Ontario away too! All in a days work, I must say. Shame that stupid 'boat took out my Roc, though. I'll need to patch that thing up.
Well, that's all for now! Gotta get back to work. She smiles and waves, before cutting the transmission.
