Sisters, brethren,
a few hours ago, I returned to Malta, after my short trip through Sirius. The IFF is now correctly flashing "Outcast Guard" and our friends and allies throughout the sector received small gifts... those that were willing, at least. The Dragons don't seem to be that fond of the Orange Dream...
Anyways, as I was returning from Bretonia, my long range sensors picked up a friendly IFF in a nearby system - Cambridge. The computer showed a 101st identification, so I opened my communication channels and sent out a hail.
What came back... changed the entire travel and... myself as well, I guess. The friendly IFF turned out to belong to Renato Bianchi... an already departed pilot.
I "spoke" with the Wraith, as he referred to himself, for quite a time and... gained some insights.
After my return to Malta, I found out that Senor Bianchi, as well as another wraith, had already been to the surface before... in their current form... and had caused fear to the citizens. Looking at my experience today, I think we should respect those ghosts, in a similar way as we value the Great Spirits.
Their return should have a meaning... and they are - even if in a somehow twisted way - still fighting for the cause of the Outcasts.
Howsoever, I'll be ready for any tasks assigned to me. In the meantime, I'll be carrying out the usual patrols around Malta, Cali, Ruiz and Palermo.
