Unlived Expectations

Log Entry One

I expected more.

No really. I took off from Erie in my brand new Rhino, expecting to see space filled and bustling with transports. Instead, it's empty. Lonely.

Still, it's supposedly profitable. I headed straight to the Helium Cloud near Erie, where apparently I could harvest the gas to sell to certain people. That was good and well. I settled in for some hard, honest work, and managed to fill my hold in a few hours. I headed back to Erie, where a guy said he knew someone who would buy the Helium. I got the contact details and headed to Philidelphia Station, to meet the buyer.

He seemed somehow important, and the deal was done quickly, myself undocking with a nice hefty wallet. I decided to put another few hours in collecting, make a bit more cash. On my way back to Philidelphia, I was contacted by a transport captain. From what I could gather he was looking for people to join his... Guild of sorts. Deep Traders they were called, or something to that effect. Something about him seemed off, so I dodged the offer and continued my way. He wired a nice bonus my way for some reason. It was more than I got payed!

This time, after once again getting the Helium off my hands, I was approached by a member of the Police department, Liberty Police Inc. He'd apparently seen me on patrol, and said that the Force was always looking for new members. We chatted for a while, and he left me his contact details. I didn't give him a solid answer, but said I'd contact him after I'd thought about it.

I'm actually seriously considering it. The pay is half decent, and it's more exciting than this Rhino.
