This Thing I've Become

It was the wicked and wild wind,
Blew down the doors to let me in,
Shattered windows and the sound of drums,
People couldn't believe what I'd become.

Hallan Turrek > Huh. That sucks.

Sometimes, a ransom just doesn't go your way, but I'd had a good weekend, so I didn't care.

Let me do a quick recap of all the stuff that happened.

I spent a bit of time working out of my base in Vitrauze. I met a couple of people out there that were remarkably nice to a new pirate elbowing into their turf. The first of which was Shae Tiann, one of the other pirates that writes down her experiances on the ComNet for all of you guys to read. Her and I hung out in Ladistier for a while, watching things and running around the system in search of targets. Nothing came out of the shadows after an hour or so, and I docked up in Vitrauze and began to sort my ships and equipment out.

A bit later, another pirate named Mynxee came through the station hangars and I stopped to watch her walk past me and into her Rifter. I ran up to my own Rifter and logged into the Comms. I asked her for a duel, and she accepted. I hopped into my pod and was out of the station in seconds.

I warped to her, and immediately locked on and opened fire. As my Scram and Web came online, her guns had already chewed through half of my shields. This was already looking bad. The rest of the story of that night is already up on her ComNet logs, and I suggest you go read it, as hers is extremely interesting.

Needless to say, the next day I was feeling a bit better about myself and went out looking for trouble, this time down in Eifer. I only managed one kill, but I was extremely satisfied that I was able to cure his terminal stupidity. Too bad he probably had a clone.

I have though, thoroughly converted to a bloodthirsty killer. My picture now periodically appears on the Most Wanted list, due to a few bounties that I've built up. I've destroyed almost 20 ships. I'm not a nice guy.

Have a nice day.
