Been a pretty wacky month, we fired off the Confessional but so far no bites, Jasper made it into the Pack, my freighter got stolen, Ted got a ship and then we both got blown up by some Maltese wackos.

The Confessional, yeah my bright idea to worm our way into the blackmarket so far has been a bust. You'd of figured with all the stuff goin' on folks would jump at the chance to get their hands on anythin' then again maybe it's the "give us your money" part that ain't sittin' well? Oh well, ain't like it's goin' anywhere.

On to Jasper or as Ted has named him "Casper." He was askin' for it callin' himself 'The Ghost' and now hes stuck with it, still it's pretty funny. Casper the friendly smuggler, heh. What was I gonna say?...Oh yeah, he actually sorted that Commune contract out with Nomak himself, not bad huh? Still ain't gonna shake that nickname though, no matter how far he goes.
If hes smart he'll spin it like I did, no one wants to work with a guy who crawled through a frozen sewer pipe to escape a bust but you tell 'em it means you can go anywhere and boom instant rep.

Now my stolen freighter and Ted's new freighter, I'm pretty damn sure whoever stole mine is connected to Ted's five finger discount on that Courier he 'found.' I mean I can't prove it but the timin' is a little too close to be anythin' coincidental yeah? Plus this is Ted we're talkin' about, he probably left an IOU with my name on it.
Jokes' on the mook who stole it though, I used that Drone to practice tweaking engines and well, we all know how that played out.

Finally, gettin' blown up by the Maltese wackos. Me and Ted had just delivered parts to the Commune guys and were on our way out when two mooks stop us at the Tau 37 jumphole tryin' to rob us. I tell 'em to send the bill to Nomak, things get stupid, Nomak shows up tells the clowns the deal, things get more stupid. At the end we get dragged back to Valetta, get a roundabout of "Take Cardamine or Die" for half an hour before finally gettin' shot for our trouble.
See, I can deal with pirates, psychos and trigger-happy nutjobs but what I can't deal with is two sides of the same coin not knowin' which way is up. Now Nomak tells me that ain't gonna happen again, do I believe him? Well I believe he believes it won't but in my experience that kinda thing never works out. Folks who won't listen the first time ain't gonna listen the second.

I'm still down in Liberty tryin' to get more hardware for Ossari, I guess we'll be testin' the theory when it comes to delivery.
