CHAPTER 2

I dont like what i see...and i dont like what i hear either. And i hear it in my mind over and over again:

"You say you want a ship - here is the catalogue! But there is only one restriction - you, as a rookie, are to choose from the Basic ships line ONLY. You see, your Pilot License says, that you are a class B+ fighter pilot and a class AB heavy and capital vessel pilot. However, untill you have proven yourself, we are unable to comply for your request for a BHG_Destroyer. And - dont you think you have to improve your fighter skills a bit more? Class B is good, your B+ class is better, BUT - you are nothing, compared to our elites with class A+ licenses!! You think you are all that!? Then prove it, hunter!! OR..(the Core member beginns to laugh)..if YOU think you are smart enough to build your own ship, hehe - then i suggest you start it right now and be sure have it finished by the end of the week....Hahaha...NOW MOVE OUT OF THIS ROOM, ROOKIE, AND SELL THAT PIECE OF SCRAP YOU ARE FLYING NOW!!"

I cant stop thinking about this - how am i going to work with a small ship from the basic line? Really - i have millions to spare, this is humiliating! Even my Armored Transport i am flying now is better than any Piranha or Barracuda! True - it has no Cruise Disruptor, any criminal could escape without even the need to engage...that could ruin my reputation...i would get fired! But its a comfortable ship - much space in a small size, partial gravity, easy to fly...the firepower and shield are majorly tricked out...by me, of course. As i was sitting in my cockpit listening to my stereo, a friend of mine called me on the comm:

"Hey Boba, guess what - i am going to Borholm Depot in 5 minutes...and you are coming with me! We are going to drink beer as much as nature has never seen, and you are going to fix that mood you are in right now! Get that wreck of yours moving to the docks and launch...dont make me come back there and drag you out! You cant stay in Rostok for days, its not a holiday station, you know..."
