"Bird of Prey"

---

I've taken an extended shoreleave to work on a personal project, need to clear my head. I cant say that Arya's 'defection' to the Legacy of Orillion has been easy on me, I lost a first officer and a friend - and for what? High command makes their decisions and sends us where they will, we never get an explanation. Sometimes I think she might have done the right thing, but it isnt in my nature to question my superiors. Arya, of course, lost her rank and honors with the black fleet, but I'm sure she's doing well for herself with the Legacy.

I guess I just need a distraction to clear my head, forget about that mess, and I think I've found just the thing. During our patrol assignment in Sigma-19, uneventful as it was, we did come across an interesting find in the Hiryu cloud: an old Zoner Osprey, significantly battle damaged but relatively intact. Of course, we scanned the wreckage and found nothing of importance at the time, but I kept seeing thinking back to that ship, and how much of a waste it was to leave it there. I contacted some old junker friends out at Trancon and sent them the coordinates we had logged for the wreckage so they could haul it back to my garage on Akabat.

Obviously I'm no starship mechanic, and I've had to reach out to friends both within and not of the Order for the knowledge to repair this ship, but working on it clears my mind... gives me a sort of zen tranquility. I was meant to fix this ship, to get it flying once more, and I intend to do just that. I have a few weeks of vacation time built up, and hopefully by the time I return to active duty I'll be flying this beauty.
