Sheesh, those jitters really like to overstay their welcome.

I'm still in my X-Shuttle, & I'm not sure how to make this point clear, so i'm just gonna bull my way through the china shop here: The pilot's seat is oddly comfortable to me...creepy too, at the same time, so, now i'm a little creeped out that i'm creeped out by being comfortable.

Y'all got that? (I hope so, 'cause it'll be a real whippin' to think up a better way to say it.)

I'm makin' a modest sum of coin, but everytime I see someone hunker onto my radar, I get all jumpy like a deep-down trauma hound.

Like today: you got some of the criminal element just sittin' in orbit atop of Denver, just as bold as you please, waitin' like spiders on a web.

Now, My belly ain't yella...far from it...but I know better than to waltz into a gunfight wearin' a knife & a smile. The stuff I wrap my leftovers in would make me a better hull, & if I were ta re-route all my boat's power to my guns...I still probably couldn't even get a close shave out of 'em. (assuming I'd be apt to waste all that time trying to shave with a gun.)

Anyway, fer instance, I was extorted for 200K from someone named "Cathartic"

He caught me with my pan...er, my shields down, & made easy work of me. So now I'm keeping a tally of what he's gonna end up owing me, 'cause, even though it really gets my Irish up, untill i'm ready to toe the line...I'm gonna go ahead & pay 'em for a short spell. He's got some honor, I'll give him that, but, so far, any real respect from me is gonna cost 'em my 200K first.

Hey, ya gotta learn ta pick yer battles.
