I was back in Tar and talking to Tevis Jak.

“I’ve brought the datacore,” I said starting a conversation. “Do you want to send someone to my ship to grab it?”

The agent scoffed, “If only I had that ‘someone’. Nah, just jettison it and I’ll pick it up.”

“Erm… We better form a fleet, or you will become a suspect after collecting my can.”

The recent combat encounters awoke my interest in a more aggressive side of a capsuleer’s life. I considered a mercenary career before but I chose exploration then. Now, after watching rogue drones, pirate ships and Gallentean spies disintegrate under the fire of my one-twenty-fives, I felt that turrets were a better use of high slots than core probe launchers. Having concluded that I wouldn’t mind taking my Cormorant out for a spin, I called Purkkoken Honuken and asked if he had any missions for me.

“Of course,” he exclaimed, “good timing, my friend. I have an urgent delivery request.”

“Sorry, wrong number,” I said, sarcastically, “I thought I was calling Purkkoken Honuken, a security agent, but I guess I was accidentally connected to his twin working in the Distribution and Logistics department.”

“Well,” said the agent, carefully choosing his words, “it is a delivery contract but it may have… complications.” Continue reading “Cargo Delivery”
