' Wrote:*bridge of LNS-Corregidor*

Commander Greg stares off into the vastness of open space and lets his mind drift to more distant times and places

"I remember Earth... you could see the horizon and say 'thats the end of it'... this emptiness, its infinite, isn't it comm officer? *sigh* Any word from HQ?"

the comm officers and replies "no sir", Greg keeps gazing off into space, "although your financial statement has came in..."

"And what does it say? Am I broke yet?"

comm officer laughs at the commander's reply "no sir, your stock has gained is ready and your time deposit has matured."

"Hehehe, more people to help and more pirates to dust... Just keep monitoring those scanners for hostiles, this is too good a day to mess up. *sigh* So much area... Just us to watch over it."

"sir we have a potential hostile on the scanners, he's almost to the NY jump hole."

"Finally some action! Engines to full and gunners to your stations"

commander gets there only to find a misled civilian with a ornamental artifact, complete with documents...
dully, he turns the ship back to Houston, sits in his chair and stares into space...
