Crete: Some Time In Seclusion (//Corsairs by invite or request only)

[Doc Holliday]

It has been a week since Doc landed on Crete and he used each day wisely. Finding isolation, he was able to set up a network of small weather outposts in varying locations of the planet. His shuttle took him to the harshest deserts, the highest peaks and the deepest valleys. With a secure frequency, only he could read it.

His food stores were supplemented by some wild game that he was able to hunt so if he wanted it, an extended stay was possible. He had only one major area of concern and that was communications out of Gamma. His private comm channel was too weak to be read and to route it through either his shuttle or tapped into another repeater would make it detectable but not necessarily readable due to encryption. Still, the pros outweighed the cons and pushed on.

He was however surprised that he was largely ignored and he made a reference to it in his journal as he sat next to his fire.

A week here on Crete and not a soul to be found. I figured that the Council would at least be curious. Maybe my good reputation gives them nothing to be concerned about....and it's just as well I guess. Still, I find the Corsairs to be as curious as they are deadly.

He paused a moment in thought. His old flock was in mind. How were they doing without him. He imagined they were fine under John Rackham. His kids came to mind as well but he knew they were in good care and then there was Jaden. He hadn't seen here in days. He could only smile at the thought of her.

"It is time," he thought aloud to himself, "time to make an inquiry." He pieced together some thoughts for his inquiry to Deep Space Engineering about terraforming.
