Title: The McDowell family is smaller.

Majutsu no Biribiri, my Sabre, has been sold to another Junker pilot. Hopefully for a refit and service, but probably to be parted out and junked. Unfortunate, but that's the way things have to be. I can't keep filling up my cargo bay with ships, because ships don't make money. I am, however, 6 million credits richer. Not that it makes much of a dent in my two-hundred-million bank account, of course, but it's still a plus.

Speaking of money, the Antaeus. After the whole rescue thing, I made sure Perque and his crew worked extra hard to pay for the time lost. They left Pittsburgh, where they had been keeping a low profile, with a load of Boron bound for Bretonia. They should be reporting back within a couple days, with a nice fat pay cheque for me.

I do wonder; how long this will keep going before someone realises the ship isn't actually Gateway? She still flies under her old registration, so someone somewhere has forgotten to scrub the ship from the Spaceways Office's records. We'll deal with that problem when it comes.

My bomber is in need of some careful editing of the builders' plate and registration number. My recent escapades along side the Xenos, tearing apart Navy gunboats left right and center, have no doubt put her on the LPI watch-list. All of the Xeno ships are unregistered and effectively illegal, but of course as terrorists it isn't of much concern to them. I, however, have to pay registration and insurance on all my gear, to keep a legitimate profile. Those Police Scanners get into everything.

All I need to do is to rip the transponders out of something else and frankenstein them into the bomber. I still have some Junker kits around here somewhere. More spanner work. Sweet.

And to fund all this nonsense I'm going to be paying my old mates the Outcasts a visit with some supplies.
