Jadyn backs away from the camera drying the back of his head. It appears as if he just got out of the shower.

Just got back from picking up my new ship. Had to fly to Ontario but I needed a break from blowing up criminals...or having them blow up my ships engines.

He sighs.

Ran into a particularly venomous group of Molly's last night. The packet I got from Mission Commission said they were small fries but turned out to be anything but. I managed to get the upper hand towards the end but I paid heavily. My engine got holed in at least four places and I barely made it back to Sheffield Station before the engines completely cut out.

Mechanics say it's totaled and it'll be around 6 million credits to get a new one. The tech recommended I just get a new ship and scrap this one. He even recommended a used ship for sale at Thunder Bay. I got just under 2 million in scrap and hitchhiked to Cortez on an OS&C Ferry. From there I boarded a transport for Planet Los Angeles and pinched my nose closed and took a Junker Salvager the rest of the way to Thunder Bay.

The ship I bought was a Raven's Talon with engines that clearly needed an overhaul before they burned out. However, the weapons systems were top notch and ready for hardpoints. I paid around 2.5 million for the ship and flew it back to Sheffield where my mechanic is looking over it to make sure that it's combat ready.

I'm up to around 22 million in savings now from contracts. I've still got a ways yet to getting that Gunboat for the higher ranked missions and hunts. But I hope that in a couple months I'll get there so I can qualify to work with Bretonia or one of the other houses to hunt down bigger game. For now, I'll stay on target for the gunboat and go from there.

Going to get some rest, big day getting back to work tomorrow.

Jadyn leans forward and the video feed disappears.

I've lost people who meant the world to me...and I'm still doing just fine.

I'm coming for everything they said I couldn't have.
