TDK Reaper

[marauder]

"Frank, this is Kara Estades. She's your new pilot." Reaper said to a heavily built giant as he entered the corridor linking all the docking bays.

"Hello." Franks glanced at her once and then turned back to Reaper. "The ship dealer is this way." he nodded off to the left.

"Okay, while I go get the new ship strip my old one." Reaper strode off, leaving Kara with Frank.

"So what happened to the last pilot?" she asked as they re-entered the dokcing bay.

"He couldn't keep his mouth shut." Frank said shortly as he moved an equipment tolley over to the fighter. "He was put into a vac-suit and left on an asteroid in the middle of an empty system. I hear it's a favorite punishment of the corsairs."

"Just for talking too much?" she asked sceptically as she helped him unlock the weapons and put them onto the trolley.

"Not for talking too much, but for talking about who we work for and stuff like that." Frank uncoupled the shield generator and put it onto the trolley.

"I've also heard that Reaper's sponsor is a right psycho. Apparently he had the entire crew of a BHG destroyer chained to the hull of his dreadnought, then he went through a jumphole."

Frank dropped the thruster onto the trolley next to a nomad cannon. "Which is another trick the corsairs like to use."

Kara was speechless for a moment, she knew that a heavily armoured fight got bounced around alot going through a jumphole, but to deliberately take someone in a vac-suit though too...

"Come on, we're done here. I'll show you the ship you'll be flying now." Frank started to push the trolley towards the door.
