The impure Diamond

[Jansen]

The Freeport is good, but it remains boring. There is absolutely nothing to do and I dont know anyone here. I have been using the time to rob a few Miners in the Omegas, at least brings some money to pay the bills. While attacking one of the Miner ships the Military seemed to have realized my presence and they sent a gunboat and a fighter to destroy my Thor. I was lucky, two of the soldiers that are mapping the sector came by and put me under 'Rheinwehr protection'.
They ordered the other soldiers to explain their actions, which those refused to do, so they ordered their destruction. I asked if I could help them, that was something I just had to do, those people had saved me. They agreed and the other military vessels were destroyed in a joint operation. Those two soldiers then found a smuggler, flying one of these big Rheinland trains. This person refused to follow their orders and was again, destroyed by us. I didnt have the time to check which dangerous goods he carried, but I think those soldiers were right.
After all dangers were removed I had a little talk with one of the soldiers, he told me a few things about his father and I told him about mine. He seemed to understand how it felt to be tricked by the own father, he even said that it wasnt my fault.
Sadly he had to move on, but I offered him to visit me at the Freeport. He even said that it would be possible, so maybe that will help against the boredom, at least a bit.
