"So, you are from Liberty... *laughs* But you speak like a true Hispanian ... May I know your name, amigo? - Asked the corsair marshal with a synthetic wine glass in hand.
"A certain belief says that we are born twice ... My name is ... Juan ... Juan Gonzales ..." - His voice was rough.
"Your past would not be very good if you want to forget everything ... and on the other hand, your head has a high price among the Bounty Hunter Guild ... But your knowledge on weapons and flying makes it much easier to enter to the brave HAF, you should know how lucky you are, amigo. The integrity of the glorious Empire and our people will be your priority if you decide to enter the HAF."
"But I have to tell you'll keep your recruit rank until medical checkups are completed... With your background we need to ensure your full health" - The marshal was closely watching Juan.
"In my other life I made a promise to a friend: I promised him to fight for what he believed, liberating the Corsair people from their misfortune... I will fight side by side so the generations to come will remember the glorious Corsairs "- said Juan in a serious tone.
"I feel sorry about the death of Sergeant Hernandez, he was a true man of honor ... A good and noble reason pushed him to embark with you through the Nomads systems ... it's a shame he could not stay here with us now ... "
"Please senor, I've said I'd like to forgot the events of the Nomad Systems ..."
"Excuse me amigo, I did not mean ... So... welcome to the HAF, friend. Tomorrow you must take the transport to Crete. Then, you'll go to our hangar and you'll pick up the standard equipment of the HAF... Of course, I'll follow your medical checkups... Good luck, amigo"- concluded the corsair marshal, finishing his glass of wine and walking away from the Tripoli's bar, leaving Juan alone.
"Captain, those mercs are behind us." - Lez was standing nervous on the bridge - "I think we don't need to hesitate at firing them"
"Don't worry my friend, we're near the Omicron Eta jumphole... Pilot! Turn off the power of the forward cannon and redirect it to the engines! We're going to jump." - Ordered the captain.
"Omicron Eta? Then we're going to enter Alpha! Excuse me captain, but it's suicidal." - Replied Lez.
"So you prefer to enter Omicron Delta to take the direct way to that Nomad System? We'll take the long and safer way, through Alpha."
"I'm still having those dreams about the journey to that damned place... I'm only sleeping 5 hours each night because I'm having those annoying headaches... What... What could be the cause of this?... I think I'll go to the bar to drink something... "
