A simple quest for freedom

[Erremnart]

Storm over horizon

---

Virginia drew on her cigarette and looked out of window to see Veracruz settlement in front of her. It was some since she was aboard INS North Carolina, INS Roanoke or even her private cutter INS Dahlonega. Her wounds weren't that serious, but there were some complications during her surgery and following recovery and she still felt drowsy and weren't fit for duty. Well, at least she could walk, smoke and curse.

Past incidents forced her to rethink some of her decisions. She told her XO everything - about her addiction and about her conflict with Grace Snows. While he acknowledged her addition rather easily, he was a bit sceptical about her involvement in any foul business - by all official records - she saved her commanding officer after all. Who is going to question that - troublemaker Virginia Belle?

Virginia drew on her cigarette again and pondered about her imminent future, a think she was not doing that often, but she was still recovering and weak, and there is little to do in medical anyway.
With Liberty forces moving through Kansas and Bretonian forces trying to breach to Vespucci through Magellan, this war - this whole Insurgency is going to be resolved soon - either by winning and securing their space for good or by losing and... what will happen when they lose?

Virginia drew on her cigarette for the last time and tipped her cigarette into a trashtray lying on the windowsill in front of her. Situation changes and so her priorities.
