To say that I have gone straight would be misinterpreting the situation. To be more accurate, I'd say I've reasserted my business.

Why?

Things went south fast for me in the last year. I used to have the toughest (and cutest) thugs at my feet, an armada at my disposal, enough weapons to make the King's personal armory feel ashamed, complete control over Gallia's entertainment business, a fortune large enough to buy entire systems and corporations, as well as half the Gallic government bent over the table for me.

But now?

I'm all alone. No backup. With little more than my name and whatever juice it might have. I'm not a lunatic, I've got better things to do right now other than fighting wars by myself.

You've got my attention, though.
