I do not know if you are okay or not, but I want you to know that I lost my house, I almost died as well and... I am not sure if I will be able to see you again.
The easy way to give you an idea, look on the neural net. I do not know where you are, but if you can catch news channels from Rheinland, you maybe are able to have an eye to it. If not, I shared you a copy.
Uhm... It's me... your uhm... 'tough' mercenary. Look... uhm...
[There is a sigh that quickly followed after the sentence.]
I do not know what to say to be honest. It has been almost a year... hasn't it? I... I am alive. I hope you are as well. I am not certain of what I should do to be honest. Maybe.. maybe you can tell me anything? Or maybe... telling me how you saved somebody last year?
I just hope that I am not talking to a wall. I also hope this channel is still open on your side and not dumbed into 'nuisance'.
[An attempt of a chuckle.]
Maybe I waste my time after all by hoping you will respond. But maybe you are too occupied with some 'adventures'.
Uhm, I lost the Kay around the time you sent that other message, so I guess that is how it went under the radar. I hope you are doing okay? I had to take a longer time off from, uhm, adventures, and truth being told, I am rarely going to space anymore. It is just not worth it.
What happened with your house? That looks a lot more elaborate than what the news say. How is arson even possible on a planet with so much snow and ice? Uhm, but I am glad you are okay! You probably already got a new home!
Uuh, I do not think I heroically saved anyone last year. Would be a big stretch to make Kepler count, I think!
So, uhm, what are you up to, lately? Do you even still count your kills?
Uhm, long story short about what happened, someone knocked at the door and it was not a kind neighbor if you see what I mean. He shot at my kneecaps before to set something on fire. I was in pain and I couldn't do much until I was saved by two unknown people that are not so- kind either. I left Rheinland.
I have no other house, I am currently low on credits. I try to find a job actually, but options are low. I could startup my own company of mercenary, but... I am not a leader. The Core is not what it was since the Guildmaster I knew is now dead...
You got shot in the knee caps? Can you walk again? Rehab will probably take a while!
Who did you piss off this time?
If you need credits, I can send you some. That is the least I can do for what you did when I needed help. As for a job... Have you considered changing your profession? There are enough other mercs out there, really. I could see you working at a Sunbucks. Your face is pretty enough, I bet the students of the Crichton University would come by every day to buy your coffee and ask for your NNsta ID. And you could return some rheinland insults and they would not understand them.
Or maybe they do. I mean, they are students, so they probably learn your language and maybe even kusari. Or gallic.
If you want to stick to that badass mercenary image, both Rheinland and Bretonia seem to need some hands with the Hessians and the Coalition in Omega-3. They are so desperate, they even drafted me by force, so someone with experience like you should be able to make good cash there! Hell, even the BMB... B... BN... the Rheinland intelligence service got involved! In Omega-3!
Do you at least have a room somewhere? Or are you sleeping in your cockpit?
Rehabilitation is still a thing. I can walk, but running is still a thing I need to try sadly. My ship is fine, I only asked a mutual friend for a service to hijack the display of the ship. I also do not view myself working to a university and what is even NNsta? I don't know this!
Either way, I go where it is cheap. Mostly. I will think about what you said.
