Andrew's Diary

[AJBeast]

This will be where i write my adventures. The people i've met , the chalenges i face. Maybe someday this will get passed on to my son for him to continue. It would be an interesting tradition. This "diary" might not be written daily.


Today was a good day. I had to dedicate it partly to gathering varied sorts of cargo , since my request was ignored ... Oh well, their loss.
I bought the most basic supplies right in Cambridge, but i was still lacking a few of them. I first decided to look our for Pharmaceuticals. Thing is , i had no idea where i could buy them. Fortunatelly , I was helped by a Bretonia Police officer by the name of Matthew Raynes. He suggested id try Graves Station in Dublin. Indeed i found them there. They didnt come that cheap though , but that isnt a problem.

I afterwards headed to Liberty. You can get some fine Gallic wines in there and I sure could use some in my travels. Besides i still needed Synth Paste.

As I approached Planet Manhattan i noticed there was a big fight a few Kms away from the planet. Just a few Hackers and Outcasts atacking a Zoner cruiser. I stuck around to see the fight which ended in the cruiser getting destroyed. Shortly thereafter one of the Hackers called “Logic Bomb” approached me and requested some “protection money” or something. To be honest i wasnt paying much attention, but i gave him the money he asked. It was a small amount and i was feeling generous.

I decided to stick around Manhattan for a while longer. I had a pleasent chat with a freelancer named Novak. Aparenlt my love of fine wines didnt go unnoticed.

Still in Manhathan , suddenly the SCRA showed up on the comns. Never heard of those guys, aparently they have something to do with the Coalition back in the Sol system. As they were yapping about their ideals an Outcast , part of the group that was fighting the cruiser earlier, approached my ship. She wanted some credits , just like Logic Bomb. My bank account wasnt working properly though , so i wasnt able to comply. She left me alone though. Good for her in fact. My crew was itching for a fight. Fortunatelly my diplomacy avoided a fight.

A short while after , a bretonian liner undocked from Manhattan , the HMS-Brittannia. Aparenly it carried the bretonian ambassador. It was nice to see a fellow Bretonian this far off.

My crew then noticed that the missile turret on our ship wasnt working correctly, and they decided we should get it replaced. We headed to Norfolk where we found out we didnt have the proper clearances to buy gunboat grade equipment. So i decided we should head back to Manhattan to mingle a bit more.

I couldnt belive my eyes when i arrived. Xenos , the Coalition and even the odd Hacker and Outcast were atacking Liberty and Bretonian forces near the planet. I took position near Newark station where i observed the outcome. Unfortunatelly , a particularly nasty ion storm killed my comns and made my whole ship go on hiatus. When my ships comns came back up it had all stopped.

With this i bid my farewell to the Libertonians and head back to Bretonia. It was quite enough action for one day. Besides , I probably should get a replacement on that turret.
