Lee's Diary - Pilot of The Narcotic

[Narcotic]

Date: 24 August 819
System: Cortez
Location: Planet Curacao, in a rented room.
Topic: Trip to Planet Curacao

In the morning, I've been observing the first steps of my ships construction. I had to admit, that they were working quite fast and tidy. But maybe it was because of me, watching them. I got told, that my ship won't be finished within the next three weeks. Quite a long time. First I had no clue, how to make a good use of that time. I've been toying with the idea of renting some small spacecraft for a while. But it would be far too dangerous, not only being an easy target, but also needing to give out my personal details, which would make it easy to track me down.

Later, when I had a drink at the Lone Drunkard bar, to take my mind off other things, I got to talk to a maltese women, whose name is Melosa Sola. The fact, that we were born at the same place made her trustworhty to me, and I began talking about me and the recent events in my life. She was a great listener, and somehow, she started flirting with me. "Don't you feel proud to be the possible first blue-skinned human in the universe?" She joked. When thinking about now, she didn't even meant it ironic but as compliment. Like hours later, we got the point, where she asked me, what I'll do now, while I'm waiting for my ship being ready for space. I guess she knew, that I've got a lot of free time now, because she asked me to accompany her on a trip to Planet Curacao. She explained me, that she's commanding a smuggling train which commutes between Barrier Gate Station and Planet Cortez, selling Cardamine, Synthetic Marijuana and even gallic Nox, whose demand is extremly high on such pleasure planets like Curacao. That made me a bit skeptical, but I weren't able to resist her offer, and herself aswell to be fair...

Leaving Barrier Gate with "La Ardiente".

A few hours later, I've been sitting at the bridge of Melosa's "La Ardiente", a large pirate train of the Z-line.
The rest of her crew didn't treat me that friendly as Melosa did. They've been observing my steps and looked away, when I looked into their eyes. Was it because of my skin? Do they fear me? Am I a monster in their eyes? Melosa noticed, me feeling uneasy. And smiled at me, saying, that she doesn't dislike my special skin color. "You're unique, they're just jealous.", she said. What a women.

Late in the evening, we arrived at Planet Curacao's orbit. The weather was quite windy, and I heard a thunderstorm incoming. Just a few minutes later we found ourselfes in a deadly storm, with waves as high as skyscrapers. We had to make an emergency landing, forced by the storm.

Stormy night on Planet Curacao.

A few nerve-wracking seconds later, we found ourselfes at some research station. We were welcomed by a lab type and two guardians. He offered us a shelter for one night and showed us the rooms. We had a satisfying dinner, where I noticed, that Melosa has been watching me all the time. When I returned the look, she acted, as she were busy talking.

Around midnight, when I've already been lying in bed, having trouble to find some sleep, I've been thinking about Melosa. Somehow she touched my heart. Meanwhile lightnings stroke into the large sea outside, followed by deafing thunders. A heartbeat later I found myself walking down the living sectors corridor towards Melosa's room.

The corridor at night.

Suddendly, when the moonlight filled the corridor when a cload moved by, I saw a black shadow walking towards me. My heart stood still for a second. Then I recognized Melosa's flawless face. Her blooddiamond-red hair dances on her shoulder like flames in the night when she walked towards me, and fell into my arms. She reached up and grabbed my neck and pressed her lips on mine. "Say, you're skin - is it blue everywhere?, she whispered, while her view moves down, showing a seductive smile.
