Imperial Court of the Blood Dragon Shogunate

[Saerieve]

Thinking for a few seconds to put the words together the best as he can, he finally said, "I've never been a 'Pirate', but direct meaning of the word - who robs people to make a living. I did it only because it simply was my 'brand' of having fun. Sure, I asked for a couple of credits here and there, but that was just to keep the fun going." listening to footsteps of the man walking around him, while still standing straight up without looking around, he continued, "But that was pointless, so I'm not a 'Pirate' anymore. You can look at me as more of a Freelancer, hunting for the GC and their friends." then reviewing the man's questions in his mind, he noticed there's still one unanswered, so he added, "I used to be a Police Officer back in Gallia - funny as it may sound -, and that's where I found hitting on transports 'fun'. You see... Police in Gallia are just as corrupt as any other House Police, but they're much more careless. They don't care if people notice they're not really there to protect them, so instead of doing under the table deals, taking bribes and all that crap, they just do it more... publicly. If you know what I mean." then cleared his throat before he continued, "If it was a Corp trans aiding the Kingdom, we would let it be, but we would play all types of games if a trans was unlucky enough to be a small-time Merchant, a Freelancer, or a minor trading group. But I always wanted to explore, not sit in one system, so after the route was open, I broke out of the place, found myself a couple of friends, and got the life going outside that craphole..." Hatred in his voice was surprising even to himself, it's been more than a year since the last time he had visited Gallia, but still remembered the feeling he had about everything in there when he first left. "That's where I picked up the habit from. Just toying around with transports 'You have a Cargo and I have a Gun' style, you know." then clearing his throat once again he added, "But I don't play that game no more, sometimes you'll need to take some things more seriously in life and stop fooling around."
