Damien Gasteuil, Gallic Refugee

[D.C.A]

After selling his newly given gold on New Berlin, Damien wandered in Rheinland space. Since he was told by his junker benefactor that people here should be more friendly toward Gallics than in Bretonnia, he figured out he would be wiser to stay here for a while. His radmon flight were an opportunity to know the place better and to, maybe, have a clue about what he could do to earn enough money to pay back his debt the fastest way. Luck was also on his side this day as he met a freelancer hauling beer to Nuremberg. Asking the man if he knows where Damien could find some kind of job around here, the trader suggested he wern't against some kind of escort if only Damien would have a proper spacecraft with more adequat equipement. After Damien admitted he was a total new comer on this kind of things the man give him plenty of advice and 8 million credit to buy a Rheinland Transport who would make him a decent fit in any convoy.

When he was ready and after having thank the man for his kindness, his time and his money they were on the way to New London with a shipment of some kind of alloy. The trader wasn't of the chatty kind but provide the improvised freelancer with tactics and tricks to use in cas of a pirate attack. The man seemed happy to have even a debatable escort arguing it could dissuade some potential attackers and he said it was far more easy to outmaneuver a single pirate ship with two transports rather than alone. Flying with such an experienced pilot was reassuring and the trip to New London went quite peacefully. When Damien asked if the metal they were hauling was due to help to the after-war rebuilding his guide discouraged him to ask this kind of question when taking a job because it could cost him, in certain cases, to be too curious. Despite this answer the new pilot convinced himself he was helping to undo the bad caused by his countrymen.

In order to not wasting their trip back to Rheinland, they made a detour to Dublin. The plan was to charge some gold at a BMM station and take it back with them. Coming back there wasn't a relief from Bastien because it was giving him unneeded flashback from not long ago but he kept his mouth shut and they were soon out of Bretonnian space. Just in front of the Stuttgart jump gate they were stop by a Red Hessian who was asking them a fee to go through. His new friend handled the discussion with such calm and confidence than Damien stood in awe before him. He refuses to pay a thing and they escaped through the gate. According to him, the Hessian was wise enough to not give them chase knowing he was outnumbered. On his side, Damien was mostly happy he didn't have to fight anybody and was trying to calm himself down. They part ways on New Berlin, after selling their gold. Damien gave his tutor 10 million back, nearly all he earned with both the trip, to pay him back and to thank him for his advice, his time and for giving him a way to make a living here.

After such a stressful encounter, Damien headed to a bar near the landing platform, he needed to relax and have a beer... or two.
