Didn't really bother going anywhere near Outcasts after I found out Jameson's gone. Still don't mind them though, but well... stuff change and I'd rather stick to old things. But remember how I said I paid the price of working with 101st? This is what happened - One thing that bothered me, was having to be hostile to the GMG only cause I was close with Casts, and since Jameson was gone, I figured there's no need to stick to that view anymore. Getting back on their good side wasn't that easy, even though all the records of my activities against them was probably already lost in the archives. Still, I couldn't take much chances, I needed a solid and at the same time indirect approach. That's where I got lucky, and I didn't even realize that could help with the GMG mess -after- I was through with it.
Well... I was good with Casts, and that meant I was good with the GC as well, so even though Dragons weren't a big fan of me, they ignored me long as I didn't step on their toes. There was this one time in Omegas though, I caught this Behemoth who was trying to run some ore out of o7, and to my surprise - after I had shot him down, of course - there were two codes lying there among the loot. Now, I didn't need any more codes, but couldn't really leave them floating there either. It was just a random idea that occurred to me after I got to Sigmas. Maybe I could give those guns to Dragons to work up my way a bit closer to them, but they weren't a bunch accepting bribes, and that was the issue. Even though it wasn't a bribe, it was understandable if they got totally defensive all of a sudden, thinkin I'm planing to bribe them or something.
Gladly, I ran into this gunboat of theirs in Sig13, and the captain was a decent enough guy to see the guns are not a bribe. I fed him some crap about how much I respect the honorable warriors they are and blabla, all the lame lines that'd sound appealing to a Kusarian ear, and he even paid me a few millions to thank me for bringing them the codes, sayin he'll make sure the guns are put into good use blablabla. One hell of a boring talk that was! But in the end, it worked out just as I had expected. Now the tricky part was getting in touch with a GMG - preferably greedy one - through them, cause even though it was supposedly a secret, everyone knew there was loads of under-the-table deals going on between Dragons and those gas miners.
