Pattern Recognition?

YC113.09.25

I think that may have been a mistake.  Of course, I’m not sure what that is:  going snooping, or joining up in the first place...

Turns out I’m not the first guy to get friendly’d out here: some of the guys manning the defences tell me they got royally chewed out over popping someone a few weeks back.  So some cowboy drops outta warp right on top of us, showing red on every scanner in orbit.  What the hell else were they supposed to do?

Only after they’ve done their job, looks like the boss man forgot to let anyone know he was expecting company.  Who this yahoo was, or why the boss was getting a visit from someone squawking red...

But yeah, an alliance with itchy trigger fingers; tower defence chewed out and jumpy; strange company in-system.  

I mean, I’m not above a little dealing with the shadier elements of life - their money’s just as good.  Hell it’s often better - what the tax man don’t know, the tax man can’t take!

But it if means I’m gonna be getting my ass shot at every other week.  Oh shit, did I remember to insure Nimes II before coming out here...
