I was hanging at the bar as i usually do when a few business deals have going as they should be.... profitable!
After a few jugs of Rum i noticed a familiar face entering the bar and coming straight at me so i turned to the direction she was coming from and looked straight in the deep blue eyes of my good friend Ashmira.
She just returned in her favorite ship an Onyx with a big smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes, telling me she did more then taking the Heavy Interdictor out for a spin.
'You have been a bad girl' i said to her while she planted herself on a seat next to me and ordered a new jug of rum for me and herself.
'How can you tell?' Ashmira asked me with an even wider grin on her face.
'Well, its either some killing or sex that makes you look like that.' i replied and poured the rum into our glasses.
'I cant keep secrets from you, can i?' she said with a light voice which could make you doubt she was able to be a ferocious killer at times.
'But you are right, i have been out tonight with some of your fellow rabbits.'
'And we encountered some wannabee pirates flying under the banner "Back to Yarr"'
'So i take it went alright then, else you would have come to me for another ship wouldn't you?' i said, now smiling myself almost as much as Ashmira did.
'Yeah, we managed to kill their bait ship, a nice command ship and some poor smuck which had his second ship blown up within the hour' she giggled.
'It was a good engagement, and i did not receive any penalties from Concord because they where outlaws, which made it even better!'
'Very nice, sometimes i ache to join up with the fleet and destroy some ships myself...' i told her and immediately thought about the consequences it would have for me.
'Nah, just build your stuff and sell it Lotrias' Ashmira said, 'That's what you do best, and leave the nasty stuff to the others.' and gave me a hard punch on the shoulder.
'Yeah you are right about that i guess' and rubbed my shoulder... she could give a good punch...
'Before i forget, i have build you your Legion hull and will soon start on the subsystems' i said after a short silence where we contemplated over our own thoughts.
'Oh that is great, but it will take me a little longer before i can fly it, so take your time' she said, while hugging me for the good news.
'I have to study a bit more on the new weaponry and the ship itself, and as you know, i have been occupied by other things at the moment...
'Yeah, you have been sending some people back to Yarr' i joked.
The rest of the evening we talked about the killed Absolution, abaddon and hurricane, as well as the battleships and cruisers that fled from the fight with their tails between the legs and other stuff.
Will we see you joining our gangs a bit more for some pew in the future??? :-)
