Salutations,
Dis wants to know "*..does this mean he's had to take a real job?*"
(I think she's still a bit miffed that her "teddy bear" adiosed for Terra.)
Congratulations. Both on the promotion, and on the decision. Really, I'm quite relieved, as I was a bit premature in defining a 'mutual non-aggression pact" as a "My butt's getting shot off. Help!" commitment..
You guys are a bit quirky, but hey, if the idea of returning to a burnt out cinder of a planet in a boring solar system in a really hayseed corner of the galaxy blows your kilt up, I say more power to ya! And you should be left alone to get on with it!
To that end, and to the plaintive objections of my designers, I am hereby relinquishing claim to the Omega 168 System to the SCRA. You guys need a place to retire to after a long day at the Canaria shipyards, or fending off pirates, or managing to piss someone off over comms..
...and 'cause after all, spreading the Word of Eris requires that we be anywhere and everywhere.. missionaries and gypsies.. Masters only of the Castles of our Minds. Hmm.. there's a song in there somewhere..
