The Journal of Caius Oakley

[Coin]

Me? Well, Mum and Dad (or as I joke with em now Dum and Mad, on account of their age) gifted me a transport from Pittsburgh, and I started out shipping metals between Leeds and New York, dodging the pirates in Magellan. I traded up until I had enough for a Firefly, and Ill probably stick with that Ive watched those giant trains wiggle backwards and forwards trying to undock, Ive zipped past them as theyre beam-on to at trade lane, and I hum Pinball Wizard when I see them bravely struggling with an asteroid field. Mostly those power traders are just comical figures for me yes, you may make a big profit when you get there, but in my slightly smaller, faster, easier-to-dock ship, Im already on the return leg. Occasionally, theyre not just a danger to themselves once, making a run through the Omegas, I picked up a couple of OPG demanding cargo, so I skipped to the nearest jump-hole, only to find a Luxury Liner sideways on, unable to turn, completely blocking the entry point.
Thankfully, he was a more tasty morsel for them, and I got away, my rear-view screen filled with him blasting away at the fighters, like a man trying to kill wasps with a frying-pan.
