Old friend, I've been quite busy recently myself.. too much admin work, setting up the secretary.. what can I say? The other boss needs his percentage.. new old traderoutes on "walk the beat" paths. The new IDs are Neutral I figured so I bought those. Tell me if you need a few I'll provide some for you at a cheap price.
Some of the staff apeared and went away, one of them got so high on something.. he was all about flying Vipers.. - God what is the Sector turning into? Flying snakes.. what's coming next?
Still no pirates yet.. must be a good sign after all.. the Black Pearl is not anywhere in sight.. people talk about it as if it were a legend.. a ghost ship from the past, with pirate sails from the blue seas of old Terra.

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
