The Sanguine Guest

[DearMatthew]

<div align="right]Prologue
Pt.2

-Pagosa Base, Colorado System-
I can't remember how many days, weeks, it's been since I left Kusari. Then again I've managed to fill the time liquor. My ship has been in the mechanic bay for all about 3 weeks. Now, that itself needs an explanation.
About three weeks ago, I was out, not sure why, but I was. Fooling around with the ship, we were all of on massive quantities of alcohol; likewise now. Long story short, plowed it right into asteroid. Now, since the mechanic has been dead from a heart attack, my ship is well, not a ship.
I was in the bar when a ship crashed into the side of the base.

**>Base Announcement< "Mr. Rivers, the Dragons would like to make sure you understand why you don't steal one of our Gunboats."**

Hmmm, no thanks and have a nice day?

**Base shakes**

Well than, **Grabs a bottle of whiskey** better get to work.

-Invergordon Spaceport, Inverness System-
"Heh, he's waking up!"
"Excuse me? Where are those damned dragons?" I asked.
"Dead, some Outcasts saved you."
"Where am I?"
"Inverness Spaceport; they handed you off to us just before some other Dragon assassin killed them. We took you here."
"Well, what about my ship."
Damn my ship. Where was it?
"It was destroyed on Pagosa, we found you floating in an escape pod. Someone must have pulled you to one before, well.... it went boom."
"Well, that's going to be an issue, what am I going to use for a ship. Did I have any credits when I came in?"
"No, but I'm sure we can find something for you, I'm sure we can...."
