"I hear it.

I left the Shonan Base behind a while ago and began my new false life as Jeanette Navarre. I left with my Marauder I refitted with civilian weapons to maintain my guise and about million credits of pocket change. A small fragment of my wealth I once had.

I used most of it to rent myself an apartment at the Barrier station - a big freelancer-owned station in the Coronado. I'm no creature of a luxury, but I need a good deal of privacy. Why? Well, that's easy. I'm the Vagrant, I long for my own kind. I can't be with them right now for obvious reasons, but I can listen their distant songs when I focus myself. Center myself. It takes a lot of effort from me and sometime my eyes are glowing during this process. So, having a roommate would complicate things and force me to start anew.

But, there is still a one song I hear in the background. It's louder than the Vagrant song, yet is less complex. More like a calling than actual song, but I can hear it during my normal duties. I can hear it when I fly my ship. When I talk with darklings. A soft noise in the background.

I know this call. I remember it well, yet that's why I cannot go there now. It is the call of The Shrine, a place I visited a while ago. I cannot be seen there with this freelancer license. I must endure it until I solidify my ID enough. Then I can go there, spend a whole weekend there - no, a whole week. I must be patient. I'm the patient one. I'm the Vagrant.

Don't worry Shrine, I'll come to you when a time is right."
