The men have been getting drilled by our guest readiness man and they are starting to look like actual crew instead of a punch of plumbers in space. I have been working with my leadership team to decided if we are going to build a station or not and if so where would we put it. We have more than one philosophy on board and we need to get an idea.

I am still on the fence myself, anything I am sinking money into but getting little in return is not something I am willing to do; however if it was in a key location and I could get fellow smugglers and nare - do wells to make a visit for profit and not for mayhem, than I might have something. I need it somewhere where resupply will easy for me... Ah I don't know why I never thought about...

*Yells* Him and Him back to B'mont we have some research to do.

Indio Base

Opening freakin' day I have contracted with IMG and some other junkers to get my base up and running so far we have 300 people food and enough air for them to live in peace. I am not 100% into naming after me but the crew insisted and well I thought why not d*mn it I am an awesome captain.

The place looks like a 3 car garage but we are working on getting a shop setup and some items moving through, I am hoping it will be a refuge to Rogues and Junkers alike, say what you will about Liberty Rogues they are loyal customers and easy going individuals. The are also pretty damn industrious, so havin' a few on staff might be helpful.

I have people moving about chaos, everywhere but with Sally and Dax in tow I know this project can get finished very soon. It is my sincere hope to get a major project underway and get the place looking good and servicing people ASAP

Patch it through Dax It is my pal Jurus Cairo of the IMG.

Jurus the construction going as planned? Not exactly he says to me.

Two days ago he left IB to head for more crew and the now the place has gone Roanoke on him, F*&kin CROATOAN... what the heck happened? The twisted wreckage is everywhere, my calculations on the radiation shielding must have been off and with everyone away from the base save the security crew God rest their souls, the place sizzled and fried, and the well... kaboom. That sucks, but it is only a temporary set back that is rather fascinating. Well maybe hubris is the reason since I went and named it after myself and all.

I tell Jurus in a few months we will try again maybe a new location, well back to your lives citizens.

Aaah, back from my leave. I gave the entire crew an extended holiday after the base fiasco. Screw that d*mn base. I am going all out smuggling, what the heck why manage anything when I can get a free ride at junker and rogue bases through out. I noticed however that my rep is kinda crap with the LSF, hmmm wonder if I could bribe someone... not that it is hurting business to let it be bad.

I do have several plan that I can put into action I should get back to the "steamboat willy" plan. I do need to make some money as my last three investment plans have turned out to be crap shoots.

Today I will step on board the Medusa the first time in months, she still smells like grease and sweat, wait and no stale cigar aah yes* lights cigar* that's better.

*hits power up console hums to life lights shoot on through out the cabin.*

It is good to be home time to call the crew and put the plan into action.

I received a deep space message from a friend who clued me into a route that maybe exceedingly profitable which is up my alley. I did have to question the route because it took me way too close to a specific Gallian cpt who really dislikes me, and all junkerdom... I mean I can see how some might not like smuggling, cheating, and sneak junkers but I am down right lovable.

The profits could be sustainable but at what cost, hmmmm then again what is fun about smuggling... * lights cigar* The same thing as dating the chase. Well it is settled then... best not tell the crew ahead of time.

*yells* Him, Him get this hunk movin toward this way-point.

I love money!

I have refitted the Medusa with better shields, and I have hired a new crew, save the officers already. I address the latest bunch of dirtballs and assign them their tasks for the duration. As I gather up my cadre, I realize that I have been in retirement for nearly 6 months, but now it is time to take a new challenge.

*lights cigar* Men... and lady, I think we need to set ourselves up with the ol two sides against the middle... *puffs out smoke* I know a base Hessian owned, and one Corsair owned... and ya know these two don't dig each other... ah the catch in this particular place they need what the other is selling. I mean it is a no brainer...except that both groups enjoy keel-hauling.

Now we stand to make some good dinero or marks whatever, sprenchen sie more credits... oh yeah time between each base one day Manhattan time... how sweet is that.

*crew looks puzzled* ah well lets do something

So the Medusa needs an overhaul; I am thinking about going smaller and faster, I mean what is the point I have got lots of money I don't really need to haul thousands of pounds of crap around. Of course I would need to "dump" some crew which I would not feel too bad about, as most of these criminals, will just end up back in jail getting three squares a day. Seriously I could pair down to Dax, and Sally, Val, and Honor of course Him and Him and maybe a few deck hands.

I haven't done anything with myself and for myself in forever. I am also thinking about dropping out of the congress, the scallywags got a request from me a year ago to get on the secure net and not a word from them, then when 'ol Indio needs help and a bounty placed not a single congressmen. Politics...

So I think I will advertise my own faction yeah... the Junk Lords a bit of smuggling a bit of smash and grab. How 'bout it? I need to throw out the net to see if anyone is interested?

The Mollys are always a friendly when I am popping in for a visit, who knows what they are doing w/ all the manifolds I am bringing them but, again who cares as they are paying top dollar. Plus the trip for PR to Dublin is E..A...S..Y I mean, only rogues and mollys in between, both top customers.

I have shopped the Medusa around and I am not overly pleased w/ the resale value but is a hunk of crap so what can I expect... hmmm I wonder if I left half the crew here if they would even care?

Time to look for that smaller vessel... * radios Dax*

Hey D, get the cadre together lets blow this joint.... forward the men their pay and keep the four new guys on board.

I will be in Liberty before the men even notice I am gone. Phase one completed now time to go to Phase two.

Phase two quit the congress, I had been waiting for a year for responses to secure posts, requested aid and never got it... governmental inaction. Don't get me wrong great buncha Junkers those guys all of 'em but maybe the process has become too big?

Time to trade in this wreck I need something lighter on her feet and much more nimble too.

Sure feels good to be free...

I am heading to coordinates punched in by Dax, he thinks we can get an awesome deal on a new ship and w/ it a new opportunity to create something better for ourselves. I am tired of toiling, paying for the sins of others and reaping no reward time to take the reward.

The four crewmen are sworn in under our new oath, and given equal access to the spoils. Turns out I have two fixers and a mechanic, as well as a old ex navymen turned junker. I turn to Honor and ask him to take charge of these four.

We know we are sailing into unprotected waters but what the heck... no risk no reward at all.

Lets get this wreck moving shall we.
