BROADCAST TO PUERTO RICO, INVERNESS, AND ANY FRIENDS OF BUBBA SMITH
RIP Bubba Smith
Bubba Smith died 3 days ago in a Bretonian seige against a peaceful Junker base in Inverness. What can be said about Bubba... Bubba was a complicated and troubled man, he was a Junker and a congressman but first and above all a Sigma Junker. He was a swashbuckling, loud mouthed, cantankerous old bastard who always stank of synth and would do anything for his fellow junkers, no matter how dire the circumstances and how high the chips were stacked against him. He was one of the most prolific smugglers of cardamine that Sirius has ever seen and had more enemies than friends even within his own faction due to his strongly held views and his even stronger worded communications regarding those views. Sometimes he may have done more harm than good but he always always had the best interest of Junkers at heart and was the fiercest opponent of their enemies around. Seldom would he ever back down from a challenge whether it was from a Navy battleship or an independent pirate. He always did his best to protect those weaker than him even if it was at the expense of his own life. Many stories have been told about the epic events surrounding Bubbas life but the one that I feel best describes how he lived and died is the story of how at one point he consecutively smuggled enough cardamine into planet Manhattan that the planet reached its saturation point and quit buying cardamine for a while (Be it from the dock workers being to high on the supply to work or what, no one knows to this day). Bubba was also one of the richest men in Sirius with untold fortunes but never once did he hold out on giving his money away to those in need or just in random acts of kindness. Bubba would also make custom synth weed pipes for all of his friends. When it comes down to it how most people will remember Bubba sadly will be his outrageous public remarks trying to defend his faction the best he knew how. But those for those who truly know him he will be remembered as a prolific smuggler, good friend, champion of criminals and the down trodden, and the most fiercely loyal Junker ever. So fair well and sleep well amongst the stardust prince of rust and blood!
The Sigma Junkers will be sending off Bubba's possessions off in a barge flaming barge full of cardamine, synth weed, and good whiskey to honor him in Inverness.
I wont list Bubba's ships here, if you would like a list PM me
Anyone and everyone who like to pay their respects to Bubba please do so here
Bubba Smith, the Jack of Hearts... He was like a father to me. Always knew when to tell me to shut up and fly. When to look up from my dirty mag and steer clear of the encroaching planet ahead of me. He always had my back... even when he would teach us the importance of keeping up with him by leaving us behind in the gas clouds. That kind of fathering can't be taught! He leaves behind many admirers and unwed women but his biggest legacy is the lesson of that one man, in his ship covered in rust and radiated blood, can make a change in this galaxy we take so Siriusly.
I'll miss you Bubba! This one's for you!
