Well boss i s'pose I should be apologizin' for the extra long sick day i had. Suppose it would be best if i explain where i've been lately eh?

Well several months ago i finally got that vacation time i put in for so i decided i wanted to try out one of them orbital spa and cruise things, was supposed to be a week. Now dont give me that look, normally i would not do something so fu fu and girly but one of the chummers i saved awhile back from some brigands gave me a freebie so i was just curious.

Unfortunately it did'na go well at all, about halfway to where ever the damned thing was going it was taken upon by some of them wild bastards, had no choice to hop an escape pod as they filled the hull of the liner with hot plasma.

Floated around in space in that little pod for a few days, wondering if i was going to finally see my ma and pa again, but i ended up getting tractored in and saved by some zoners passing through. dropped me off at one of their freeports.

Ironicly enough my happiness from being saved from the fu fu pod was short lived, was not til i hit the free port that i realized i was not feeling too well at all, after waking up in the infirmary and being told a week had passed it seemed i had gotta sick off floating around in space and being exposed to alien organisms or something. parantly that liner was carrying more than just passengers when it went boom.

Either way it took several weeks for them to get me up to running, hell it was several weeks before they would even let me leave the damned thing, after that it was just a matter of finding a way back to curacao where my baby was parked.

After several hitch hikes and writing out lots of IOU's i finally got back and hauled ass to liberty space where you are now getting this message .... I think next time i want to relax i will buy my own beer rather than have free wine on a fu fu ship ....


Transmission ends.


(Of course in reality my comp died horribly, and i have not had the money to replace it until recently, the boss already knows this but i am explaining it to my fellow faction members and giving my apologies for my absence etc.)
