Cafe d'Observateur d'Etoile

[Charo]

Brun thanks the bartender, leans back, and takes a sip form his wine glass.

"Well, I don't think you'd hear anything about your brother...but if you wish to hear it. It all started 4 years ago when I met this girl named Christene Aucoin. We quickly fell in love, and started going out a year later. Anyways, 2 months ago, she left for the Council, despite what I tried to tell her. She quickly advanced through the ranks, and now flies an Agama in the Lorraine system. I am yet to find her, even though I spend all of my time searching for her."

He signals to the bartender to refill his glass.

"But 4 days ago, I received word from my family that my brother was attacked, and is in critical condition. They sent me files from his blackbox, and it was Christene that shot him down. I would be with him right now, but the jumpgates to Il-de-France are sealed..."

He drains his glass, and rests his head on the table.

"I'm so damn tired......"
