The Plague Logs

[Marburg]

One more thing before I head for Los Angeles...I mention this by way of a confessional:

During my bait-&-switch tactics with the Libertarian companies, I was havin' some issues locating a Cryer base to do my wheelin's & dealin's...I finally got wind of a little hole-in-the-wall of theirs all the way over in Sigma 17, & I figured as far as it is, I gotta do what I gotta do.

When I got to their station, I was stonewalled in my every attempt to lessen the high esteem that company holds me in.

after a while, I got fed up w/ all their math & nerd-speak, & headed out real frustrated.

I disembarked smack dab in the the middle of a fight 'tween some Pharm nuggets & some outcasts.

I was in a foul mood for wasting so much time inside on those pharmphreaks, so I slammed on the gas to hurry up outta the crossfire.

When my radar was all but empty, that little voice of mine that I know better than to listen to was telling me that if I turned on the Cryer babies like a dog, I could make 'em mad enough to 86 me from their docket, & get me back some lost time.

This is where the confession rolls in: I hammered back in range & found the Outcasts gone, but, 3 pharm nuggets were next to returning to their patrol...I shot 2 down in my first pass, & the 3rd only made it past me 'cause my aim ain't perfect. ...I got him real shortly thereafter.

I sat around for a minute tryin' to think if I should maybe come up with a better way to make my point, & all of the sudden, I had 10 to 15 some odd hawks bearin' down on me with their guns talkin' to my ship at full volume, & at that point, I sorta gone red. a few minutes later, there was one guy left, & he was busy whisking himself back home. I sent a number of bullets to his backside hopin' that I made my point all proper... & you know, I may be an ass, but, It WAS an efficient way ta grease the beaurocrats.

Their brain-yarn must be abit loopy like mine though, 'cause after all that bullyin' & bloodletting, they are still willing to work w/ me....it's not fair honestly, I acted like a real little man w/ some bigger guns, & if it were me doin' to me what I did to them poor civ pilots, i'd likley look to rippin' my own throat out w/ my teeth if I were able enough.

For what it's worth, I did me some wrong to those poor nuggets, & I apologize to their familys for makin' all that extra space in their homes.
