I've done the occasional escort, the occasional fight, nothing out of the ordinary.
I have been mainly busy with the Nomad problem.
I've learned about a bacteria that can dissolve a human body in a matter of hours, native to planet Gaia, so I thought, if it can do this to a human, why not a Nomad?
Theoretically, if this bacteria can be bio-engineered to attack Nomad tissue, if it doesn't already, imagine what dropping a load of bio bombs on the Nomad fleets would do to them.
We could devastate entire populations of them without firing a shot.
I tried to persuade our old friend Flora to get me some for researching, but unfortunately she was too scared of the idea.
Of course, Xalo didn't react nicely when he saw me and Flora talking to each other, so we had a little ruffle scuffle, but it's solved now, at least from my side.
The rumble in the jungle with Xalo did something to me however.
I realized how long I have been clinging to old relics.
I came before you and presented myself by my pirate nickname, Redfire.
I am surprised actually, that none of you tried to get me reveal my true identity.
My name is Ivan Norovich.
I own a vessel named Sanctum, it is a Condor-class gunboat, but I had it retrofitted to suit several people's need for comfort, you are all invited for a drink aboard it.
