So apparently little Miss "Watch Your Back" wasn't in her right mind. Or just some angrier mind. Or she just didn't hear out what I was sayin'. Who knows?
Anywho, so she tries to say sorry... I guess... and then screws it all up by bein' all hostile and such. I kinda picked up somewhere along the way that you have to beat this girl upside the head with a spanner and eventually she might get a clue. Well, reckon she did.
Savin' a couple million credits worth of slaves? Damn, that really is new.
So she gives me this speech, right? All this crap about "My name is tainted" and so on. She was right, of course, but still, always beatin' herself up like it's in fashion. Shovin' all the good things she's done on my shoulders like I'm some kinda savior, then loadin' all the bad stuff on her own like some kinda martyr. Sheesh.
Anywho, change of name, change of pace, all that good stuff. Now, somewhere along the line I was feelin' kinda guilty since it looked like this nutjob was actually tryin' to fix herself, and when she mentioned somethin' about needing a new ship I let the Outflyer Two slip my tongue.
Hell... I mean, it's true, I wasn't usin' her, hadn't for a while. Collectin' dust in hangar two wasn't doin' her justice.
Still...
Bah... I let her have it.
Y'know, I left all those strings attached like, "If I ever need it" and "Don't junk it" and "Don't screw up the paint" but c'mon, this is Eva McDowell. It's gonna end up like some kinda mobile whorehouse or somethin', she'll call it the "Vomit Comet".
Yikes...
But... but it was the right thing to do.. right? Y'know, givin' her a leg up, settin' her on her way. I mean she's starting to steal all my lines too. She keeps it up and she might be a little like me, and that's always a good thing. 'Course some folks never change...
Well... Damn, that ship looked good from the outside, I was makin' myself jealous just lookin' at her...
So she filched the Two. That was bad enough; but at least it wasn't the Outflyer. Holy Hell, if I gave... Over my dead freakin' body, I'd give her...
Anywho...
So I ended up turnin' Eva into my next "project". That'll prolly bite me in the rear end sooner or later, but Hell, I love the challenge and all...
... Not all bad. Earlier it was like she was comin' on to me even though she said otherwise. I reckon I got a chance to turn down the infamous Eva McDowell.
