Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[chavez]

Teresa carefully listened to both Julio and Raul.

Julio's words about how her father cared for him when he was young made her feel a bit uneasy. She always knew her father would prefer a son instead of her, but she didn't want her personal issues to destroy the relations between her and the new friends right at the beginning.

She looked at Raul, he was young, yet he already made it to an Elder. Interesting. She answered his question: "Yes, I am here to join the Brotherhood. I am sure you are short of pilots right now and I think I really have some skills I could offer."

Then she continued, speaking to both of them: "I don't want to go into details but the fact is I didn't know my father very well and you probably know more about him then I do. Especially from the recent past and to be honest I am quite curious so when we meet again, you could tell me some more. But right now I should visit the recruitment office as I believe that's where every new recruit should go."

She took the final sip of her coffee and continued.

"And yes, I might need some help as I made a stupid mistake when I was testing the father's Centurion at Yaren base. I wasn't used to father's custom settings of the ship and I acidentally dropped a mine near to the storage depots and of course, with my luck, the mine blew them up. This not only resulted in all Corsair vessels shooting at me so I had to get lost from there. But I was also fined for the damage I made. And 10 mils credits is a huge amount for me, so if you could help me with a loan from the Bank of the Brotherhood or something. I am sure I will be able to pay it back as soon as I meet some forehanded trader and convince him to give me the money. I can be pretty convincing when it's needed. I'll also need to do some missions to convince others that I really belong to Corsairs."
