It had been a long time since Alaric had been in this part of space. After chasing the folks who took down Sam Nichols for months, Alaric has brought his battered gunboat back to Livadia. The political situation within the Zoner ranks was at critical mass. The ZA was dissolved, the Zoners were at each others throats and it seemed to be getting worse from there. Alaric had just walked away. His command in the ZGW was gone, since they fell apart as well, his ship was scrap, it was time for a break. Catching a transport to Barrier gate station Alaric stated holed up for months.

Then one day he happened to run into the new OSI CEO and after a pleasant meeting decided it was time to get back into things. Tapping his almost empty bank account he headed over to Gran Canaria and purchased a Border Worlds Transport and got to work. It felt good to be back in space again. It was funny how things came full circle. He had started as a transport pilot and now he was back at it again. His father would be proud.

Alaric had stopped at Livadia after making the trek to Corinth to check on his current guard status. Finding himself still in very good standing made him feel much better. He was offered a slot, but declined. Maybe later he told them. For right now I just want to be a regular zoner.

Alaric sat sipping his ale in the corner when he noticed a familiar voice. Grabbing his drink he moved closer and studied the duo. Yup that was his old friend Doc Holliday. A smile broke out across his face and he shook his head.

Walking up he said

"Doc you should not be so hard on yourself. We all had a part to play in that fiasco. It's not surprising that OSI fell out of the ZA after Sam died. They were in the middle of a transition to start and things just got worse after that with the attack on FP10. At least things are calmer now. I thought the whole Zoner faction was gonna blow up there for a while."

Alaric shook his head sadly

"But hey, we are all still here, well most of us. We just make do, it's what we always have done and will continue to do."

Alaric looked about and sighed "It's good to be back. So while I am limited at the moment on what I can do. I'll offer you all the help I can give ya."
