I'm feeling awful today. I keep coughing and this enormous headache. Not sure it's because of those pills, since I don't have them anymore. But the headache is just getting worse by the minute. Feeling really tired too, today. I guess that is one of the effects when I don't have those pills. Not like today is a day that I'd like to remember either.
I was talking with Alice in the meantime. I really don't know what to think of her. She seems to care about me. But I've had enough people I barely know saying that and then resulting in something completly different. We were talking about things, heh, already forgot what we were actually talking about.
First some annoying mendolorians herrasing me, because I was flying around in the Greyhound. Just trying to get away from things and then you get this. Well I managed to fly away from them though. But then some stupid group of bomber found it funny to blast at me. Man, this Greyhound is giving me so much trouble. Well I tried to run at first but they kept on my tail. I couldn't just do nothing now. So I returned fire, heh them calling me a coward. I'm not a coward! Well, just when I was finely getting them a little off my back some Navy pilot arrived, Jacob Beumont. Couldn't really blame him for opening fire on me too as the three bomber left.
No way I could beat that pilot, he kept me pinned all the time. So I tried to ran a few times, finely succesful. I ran off to that Junker base in Texas. I did some minor fixes to it and went back to Rochester. This Greyhound is cursed or something. All it gets me is trouble. So time to get go to Jake in the Guardian then I guessed.
Once arrived at Rochester I got the Guardian and went for Freeport 2, where Jake should be waiting already. I asked him to meet there to talk about what I should be going to do. Along the way I saw that same Navy pilot that shot me, luckly not giving me much attention since he was engaged with some other vessels. I quickly took the jump to Bering, although when in Bering I saw two people fighting. I don't know why I sticked around and looked at them. They both pulled off some impressive moves. Then some other guys came out of no where. They started to help the other guy, I couldn't let that erm... Freelancer? Die there. I mean, I'm even sitting in a Navy ship. I asked if he needed help. A obviouse curt answer in return "yes please".
It seemed the Freelancer was with those Navy vessels back in Texas. They were also heading our way. I tried to not say to much. Also being fully concentrated in not getting Aleesha's ship too messed up. When the Navy arrived the guys we were shooting ran off. I felt relieved when the shooting finely stopped. But as soon as it ended it started again. The Navy ran into a Hessian Destroyer or something. Yelling for assistance I charged the systems again and helped them out. Resulting into the Destroyer being neutralized in the end.
All the fighting and I guess the adrenalin rush, made me feel completly awake again. When I headed back to Freeport 2, I remained silent to the Navy. Trying to not get noticed as I docked. Not sure if they noticed actually. As I flew back the headache returned more then ever.
Its funny I only remember being happy to see Jake again, he was really worried about how I looked. Next thing I know is that I woke up on the couch in one of the Freeports quarters. Found a little note on the table.
[font=Comic Sans Ms]
Hey,
You passed out, I didn't really know what to do.
So I just layed you down on the couch.
You should go and see a doctor.
While you were sleeping, I had a call and needed to go,
Sorry about that I'd have stayed but it was urgent.
~Jake
Great I passed out. I can't even remember what we talked about. oh man, I'd wish Connie was here, that I could talk to her about all this. Not that I can send her a message now about the Order or Alexis, now that she's with the Navy.
This headache doesn't know when to quit, it's getting really annoying now. At least my throat feels a little better, so not that much coughing anymore. Today was yet another interesting? day. Well quite a few things happened.
I was in Alexis's Greyhound again, drifting along the lanes in California. Trying to fight my sleep, putting my best effort into keeping my eyes open. Then I noticed a Rogue near the lane, I decided to stick near him. There also was a USI pilot on some distance. Trenton, I think he was called. I expected him to be mad at me. Well I wasn't that wrong about it. He grumbled about me having made some problems with the USI. Told him straight away that it was their fault. I didn't want to shoot anyone. They attacked me, if they blow up by doing it well that's not my problem. After some time he seemed to give the other Rogue some credits to let one of the transports that was heading towards us pass without too much trouble. The USI pilot left shortly after.
Then this funny gunboat approached me and the other Rogue, just when the other Rogue captured a transport and was demanding money to let them move on unharmed. I was just observing it all happen. The gunboat kept claiming he would help the transport get out, so that he wouldn't have to pay. Well that was a mistake I guess. The gunboat opened fire, the rogue engaged the Transport shortly after. Well I got a Greyhound, right? I suppose he expects me to help him. There isn't any Navy around so I guess I should help him. Charged the systems and went in. And before I knew it both the Transport and the Gunship were thorn to pieces. Great isn't it? I'm again blowing things up and I don't even know why anymore.
Finely the lane was a bit calmer again. But then some Mendolarian showed up. Well I didn't have to guess what he was up to. A few words were exchanged and then the firing started. It didn't take too long or he was forced to eject himself too. luckily.
Just when I and the Rogue settled back at the lane a Liberty Dreadnought arrived, We both ran away out of striking distance in the field. Hoping it would leave soon. It didn't though. So here I got this idea. I'd get Aleesha's Guardian from Rochester and then tell the Navy everything is under control and that I would handle the Rogue, he would leave and the Rogue could be back doing his business. I bet Alexis G. would be proud of me if I told her what I did. But when I returned with the Guardian, well the Dreadnought already left but there still was a Gunboat that we encountered earlier. He wanted to 'kill' the Rogue he said. So here I was in the Guardian telling him to leave. And it worked, it just worked. I still can't believe it.
Me and the Rogue hung around for a little longer until he said he was heading back to base to get a drink. I thought I'd just head back to Rochester then. Maybe I could find Alexis H. and ask her how Connie is doing. I arrived at Rochester and there was Alexis. Would she have my pills now? Well she said she was busy with 'big' girls stuff. Great I'm being completely ignored again.
Back in the Greyhound I was still quite far out, couldn't see Alexis H. anywhere though. Then some Navy pilot jumped me, I defended myself and he was forced to eject himself. This caused some attention. Kate some USI pilot was blaming I attacked USI vessels and all that. What a idiot she was, I didn't do anything wrong just defended myself! And then Joshua Ashfield. Great, he came paying me a visit too. He told Kate she could just blow me up if she felt like it.
Again and Again people start shooting me and then blaming I attacked or caused it all. I had to fight off this Kate now and Shiro who is like this really odd girl, she opened fire on Kate, then Joshua jumped it. Shiro's ship got badly hit, then the firing stopped when Joshua told everybody to hold fire. Man I was all shaky couldn't stop the shivering because of all the action going on.
Joshua wanted to know about the kidnapping of Aleesha, why would she have exchanged herself for me. Well I didn't know why Aleesha did it. That's what I told him, he didn't seem to buy it though. But I was telling the truth, I honestly didn't know why she did exchange herself for me. Joshua asked a few more questions and then left me in peace.
Great, I love it, everybody hates me and I - can - not - do - anything about it! It's getting really frustrating.
Back at Rochester now. Got all the memories shooting through my head again. Why can't people just leave me alone?
With the idea in mind to tell the Order I didn't want to help them anymore, since I found it too dangerous after what Alice told me about them. I mean 'Nomads' being able to control your mind? That's just scary. So I got the Guardian went through Alaska. That thing got me passed the security just fine, luckily. Then towards Minor. Encountered several Navy and LSF vessels, none of them seeming to stop me. This ship is really a Gods-send. Once arrived in Minor all hell broke loose. Navy, LSF, BHG and what not were around giving the Order a hard time. Got some shots fired at me too by the Order, but when I stated my intentions to one of them he understood and told me he would get Carmen here.
Talked with Carmen told her I didn't want to go through with it. But somehow after we were done talking she managed to have changed my mind. Now I was to head to Texas and contact Marcus Walter. On my way back from Isis towards the Alaska Jumphole I ran into Aleesha and Joshua. Great, Great! What would they be thinking now? I really don't even want to know. I managed to by-pass them towards Alaska and went straight for Texas. Once arrived at Beamont I got the message to Marcus.
I flew around afterwards a little, running into Shiro. I honestly don't know what is wrong with her. Asking me for cookies, is she just joking or...? I'm getting really tired of her. Headed to Freeport 2 later to check if I could talk to Jake again.
And of course the headache isn't showing any sign of leaving me alone. These aspirins don't seem to help a lot either. Neither did I get any word from Alexis if she had my pills. Well, going to sit back and wait until I hear something from Walter. Meanwhile talk to Jake about this whole mess.
Guess where I am right now? Well I'm on Freeport 11. And hey not feeling completely sick anymore either. Not sure if it's because I got some new pills though. Alexis gave me some new ones and guess what? She just let me go afterwards, obviously I had to leave the Greyhound behind. It was a fun little ship actually, just the wrong reason I was flying it. It also got my into a lot of trouble. But now I'm on Freeport 11 with Aleesha's Guardian still.
I was supposed to meet this Marcus Walter who later appeared to be actually Stenly Walter. Not sure if I heard it wrong or they simple gave me the wrong name. Doesn't matter now I guess. Anyhow that mission got postponed for the time being. I went to Minor right after Alexis let me go. Took the Guardian and went to Minor. Well again it was quite hard to get them -not- to shoot me. Not like I had any other ship that I could use right now. I broke the Griffin's little engine and now it's stuck on Rochester, the poor thing.
I talked with some rear-Admiral about what I was doing in Minor. I told him just about everything I think, didn't really get into details. But seriously, they wanted me to go back to Jacob, I don't even want to imagine what he would do to me when I'd see him again. Especially now that he knows Connie went there to look for dad. But hey, I'm not afraid anymore! not afraid... not afraid... not afraid! If they really need me to talk to Jacob then well... then I'd do it. I can do it.
Not really sure if I should tell Jake about me heading back to the Order. He wasn't too happy last time I told him I wanted to know more about 'Artifacts' and 'Nomads'. "Too dangerous" he said, "It's just getting yourself into unneeded trouble." I don't know. I've done quite a few runs of Artifacts back in the days I worked for Jacob. I just want to know what I actually did by doing that. Did it cause peoples deaths?
Running into those few rocks in Coronado was just my luck I guess, I mean it was what? three months after my arrest by the Navy in Okinawa. At least they opened the door for me to actually find out what all this is about. And getting Jacob to justice well... that's just a bonus I guess.
Anyway, on Freeport 11 in quite a fine room, the bed is awesome. I might actually try and get some sleep for once again, I mean proper sleep. Not coughing that much anymore either.
Not it's just waiting for the Order to contact me when they want me to do something. We'll see where this gets me.
Great, just when things finely started to clear up a little. Here comes Trix barging in. Saying I'd have to go back to Jacob or people would get hurt, namely Shiro and Connie. I don't know what to think of this. If I do go with Trix back to Jacob... well I don't want to know what he's going to do to me. And Trix also mentioned that dad was the boss of Jacob. I mean what?! Impossible. If that was true all this would have never happened in the first place.
Well Trix was right about one thing. If Connie or Shiro get into trouble because of me -again-. Then it's my fault. So if Trix is telling the truth then, then if I got back to Jacob no one get hurt. Well at least not because of me.
