Abstract: Anxiety

These last few nights were restless. It has dawned on me, the opportunities that lie in wait is enough for someone with vision to make an empire with. The riches, fortune and infamy to be had, is enough to make me shed a tear. I cant wait to get to the New York System.

Abstract: True Colors

Trader has bought my own set of Star Charts and a used set of chart plotters. He is under false-pretense, due to the circumstances around my being rescued, that I have little knowledge of such things. I will not correct him in his thinking - for the time being, as he may come of use to me in other things.

Abstract: Indecision

If ever I thought to change my life, now is the time to do so. No one knows of me here and it seems the person I once was is starting to perhaps fade. All my life, from child-hood, Ive been on the wrong side of things. Has fate intervened on behave of change vises death? Have I been given a fresh start, to become a better being or is the the opportunity to create my own dynasty?

Abstract: A Path Not Taken?

I cant explain it... It seems like my mental brake had reset something in my brain. Or perhaps it is just knowing that I may never get back home, that is bringing this about. I will tell myself that it is the long hauls between stations & planets - the loneliness - that is the cause.
I have never let someone get close to me. Yet, dealing with Trader comes with the ease of a many year association. I am still somewhat guarded to his actions - for it is still my nature, but less so now.

More so, never have I come across anyone so willing to lend assistance without wanting something in return. Perhaps that deal is yet to be seen....

Abstract: Close Call

We were attacked as we were attempting to dock at Freeport 6, in Tau-29, by an "Outcast". Indeed Traders vessel was no match for this fighter class ship, and barely made it. Large holes were shot into the cargo hold, and we lost a thruster engine.

It seems this kind of "Hit & Run" tactic is the norm here... Stories of Pirates and the likes lying in wait, close to trade lanes, disrupting them as ships pass thru... I would have never lowered myself to such tactics - for I enjoy the fight too much.

This "Outcast" is indeed lucky I do not have yet, a formidable ship and that it was not I he so cowardly attacked.

Abstract: Words are Low; Emotions are High

It is becoming less and less frequent that I find myself writing a log. Trader and I are now full partners and I get 45% of the profits.

The ship had been attended to just after the incident reported in the previous log. That attach left me confused. Thinking that if Trader had somehow died and I survived, then the ship and its contents would be mine. A real Something-For-Nothing gain.

Conversely, I am still not as familiar with this area of space and would still need a navigator, if only to avoid fishing traps and the likes.

True, his company is fine. But I gather anyone elses would be just as so.

"The meet between Good and Evil will be his darkest, yet finest, hour;
In his battle he will need to take unto him justice, for his armor, and righteousness as his blade;
All that is unholy will be destroyed, so that Mankind may begin anew;
So that the Evil that once was will again, never be...."
