Title: First Flight

I think I've said it at least once before, but the fixers at Vieques are an amazing bunch of people. The Maelstrom has its' engines and basic manoeuvrability all taken care of. With the hull pressurised and the most critical controls online I was able to fly the ship entirely unaided for the first time yesterday (Gotta love plug-and-play).

Granted it wasn't very far or very fast, but it's symbolic more than anything, really. The Maelstrom lives!

I haven't heard anything further from the little birdie who told me about the information bounty on my head, so I think it's been forgotten about. Probably some civilian drongo who got fried by my hands or one of my mates'es in the Rogues, trying to act cool.

I've been in space for so long I've forgotten what gravity feels like. I'm sick and tired of my food floating away, my hair getting into everything, waking up to find myself adrift in the corridor, and the goddamn suction thing in the toilet. I hate that most of all.

I'm going back to Denver and I'm taking my crew with me. Everything else can go suck a fat one, I need a holiday.
