I've been laying low over the past couple of days after running into an LSF agent in Vespucci. I'm no where near ready to tangle with them yet, especially not so soon after a reconstitution on my identity. I managed to give him the slip before he was able to get close enough to ping my ship. No doubt his radar saw me but the Guerrero Asteroid Cloud managed to shield me long enough to get into Omega-55 and out of line of sight.

The other reason for not wanting to get spotted by the LSF is to protect Lockheart who is still under the oppressive thumb of Ageira corporate. After I was setup as a fall guy, she was grilled for information about me. By some miracle she escaped a jail sentence but is no doubt being watched closely by various organizations for any contact with me. I wish I could reach out, but doing so would compromise us both and probably land her in some black site that doesn't offically exist. Sigh, I wish I could see her, to reach out and touch her...to feel her warmth.

She was the one who found out I was about to get screwed and told me to run. I didn't want to leave her behind, I urged her to come with me but she stayed put, saying that someone needed to stay on the inside to feed information out. She hasn't sent anything since my explosive departure though and I worry that she might have been thrown into a hole somewhere. I need more information but I lack the resources to do anything at the moment other than be a nuisance. Hopefully that changes with my fated encounter with one of the Inner Circle. I don't know what happened with his operation and I regret that I wasn't able to participate. That might've netted me some brownie points I could have used to find Lockheart.

I'm going to give it a couple of more days before I pop my head up. I'm laying low in an abandoned station in Magellan and will resume my normal operations once things cool off.
