The Hooptie.hauler a Z series train was docked to Rochester station having superconductors loaded on by vary methodical loader bots.

Watching them work was an exercise in patience, much more enriching then recording personal logs. James prefers writing in the form of notes and business contracts.

He looked at a ledger labelled black meaning the ledger that you couldent find when he putit away that had everything on it. His past deals, every.. single... one..., were put down by complete sorted detail.

He was putting in the comment field Biggest bribe ever paid... he had problems with the word bribe. he affixed the transaction data.



Saving the ledger he entered another entry for 85 Million to Serenus that Zoner... woman? From the Omegas. She was clearly one of the oddest and strangest creatures he had ever met but her massage skills fixed his back and quite frankly no chiropractor ever has succeeded.

Her business sense in meeting personal needs was also uncanny.

Closing the ledger and sticking it in its special spot he made his way to the control room to a small back office with a personal terminal that was open and auditable. 125 Million to... orphans of liberty.. 85 million to service industry shares in start up company.

Alright, Going to send a mail to Bret asking about frequency of suicidal episodes this month.

~ Bret,

This is your therapist, have you tried your meditation tapes yet? I hope so... if not I feel as If I might have to prescribe some medication for you. I checked with cryer and thus far your iron deficient blood doesn't seem to be a problem with these anti depressants. That being said I want you to only take half a pill.

Do yourself a favor and stay out of further stressful situations including being shot at.

As a friend.... I worry but that's my problem....

Ill drop of the meds in your congress box at the shipyard in PR. PICK THEM UP!~


He closed the terminal. Got up and changed his jacket and sat down in the helm position flipping on the holds security feeds seeing the loader bots where done loading and suddenly began playing rock, paper, scissors.

He punched the intercom.
+Boys! Stow yourself s I'm getting underway! If your damaged ill be pissed!+

He started the engine start up routine loading a course to Cortez.
Fingers tabbing the lit buttons of pre programmed courses and tapping commit.

James put on his radio headset and patched in his local feed to his Logging Recorder.

Computer affix timestamps to this log.

He takes a deep breath.

Well I did it. If the Arbiter finds out about my little deal with the Padua rouges they might drum me out. Not a biggie. I don't want to be in this train forever and I want to explore and sight-see and quite frankly self sufficent equipment and workshops cots to much to just stick in a faux do-it-yourself deck on a train.

He un docked and connected to the congress net... They were out and about today...

I need shielding from radiation.. who better to ask then the shipwrights who live and play in dark matter clouds? Frankly though this will take a lot of deals with the devil... Though their not bad boys just shrewd. I need to be thankful they even took the money and are doing what their intending to do with me.

He thought for a moment.

In all the years of me studying people on Manhattan and being in space it goes to show that no matter where you are, you have to be useful, you have to fill a need and master the impulse not to burn your bridges until it is completely necessary.

The hell of other people doesn't get better in space, but the rouges and molly's on par are predictable in the fact that they like you if your useful and dont crap where you do business. Quite frankly more trust able then any lawful authority I've had the opportunity to meet. Who'd sell you out for a promotion or to fill a quota.

he frowned.

McDowel Salvage is still operating even though Eva has went over the fence. Not sure what shes after... If anything. I only hope shes following her own way whitch I only have the fact her chaotic behavior on par has not changed.

The train was underway as the cruise engines engaged he let the auto-pilot steer her out of the way of any large dangerous masses in the Jersey field.

Thinking of putting the Eagle on sale, 40 million in weaponry two million in ship... I'm not bad in a fighter I just throw out my damn back every time I get into a turn and burn fight. Back pain... The only reason I'm doing any of these back curtain dealings is so I don't throw my back out and I have a masseuse on retainer for the rest of my life... Even if she does look like an albino demon from the divine comedy.

He thought about what to say to finish the log.

I think whatever comes of it. I gave it a try... at the vary least I know theres a huge Zoner hospidal ship out there that might need a psychotherapist... Zoner life though... Its.. not.. stimulating..

He shut off the log and switched to the radio.

+Well whats everyone up to today?+ A congressman asked.

Making deals with the devil. Jim said.
