When a single planet becomes too small

[Sabretooth92]

I finally talked to Ray, I found a solution for our problem: I paid for Helène's freedom... It has been really expensive, but is good for him, as he got almost three times the money he paid, it's good for her, since she's free now, and has also been good for me: Helène requested to keep forming part of my crew, which I accepted. After all that, I started to look for Nick, I haven't seen him for a while... I found him behind a ventilation hatch, he was crying. "After all, seems that Helène was right... My father is lost by Cardamine... " He clenched his fists so hard, that I thought that his fingers would break, then he dried his tears and looked at my eyes: "There's nothing left for me here, what's next captain?" What's next? I didn't know what did he mean... well, I knew, but until he's an adult, he'd need his father approval, something I later knew that he had been working on. A new time opens in front of me, I feel it... Nick told me how needed are handheld weapons in the Omicrons, a shipment of Black Market Light Arms from Rochester to Freeport 11 would be really worthy... Time to move out. When we got to the ship, we found Helène, with her knife in one hand, and a paint bucket in the other one. "I'ts said to be bad luck to travel aboard an unnamed ship... I've thought about calling her Medusa, what do you think?" Medusa... I like it! As it petrifies enemy ships on sight... Nick seemed to agree with the naming too, we nodded, and she started to write the name in the ship's hull. If until now I've been unlucky, onwards everything will be awesome... I couldn't wait to launch: "Well, Nick and I have talked about doing a run from New York to Omicron Delta" Helène seemed pleased with that, so I kept talking "We will go direct to out goal, we will have enough time to ramble when we finish this, if things get rough, I want you with you eyes wide open, understood? Everybody behind the cockpit" Nick jumped into the ship laughing "They don't know the kind of badasses they're messing with" That's what worries me, you neither know it... although I think you'll be up to.
