Apologies

[Nightfall]

Tank, not anything personal to you, but I'm sick and tired of hearing 'I'm sorry', got a bag full of those. Not to mention you said 'I'm sorry' repeatedly.

Have they told you the story of the man who cried 'wolf' in school?

One thing more to explain here, Bernard Fokke's request for 400 million is there to encourage RP and a bit of real cooperation between you guys, how many of you have large trains? How much does a large train make on the Cambridge-Corfu run? How much time is needed for a return trip? How much time is required for you lot to make 400 million? Do the math please.

If you were cooperating as true allies would, you would have fun and make the money in no time. Not to mention that you will realise that such an event repeated would make you money to buy 3 systems + pay for the design in no time.

But no, instead, you think that trading is boring.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
