20th Dec 3100
My uncle gave me his old ship, a scrappy little Faulcon De Lacy Sidewinder he'd named 'Guttercrap'. He made his money cleaning and repairing the outsides of Coriolis space stations and had used this ship to slide in, out and around the pylons and other objects that make up the canyon-like surfaces of these these orbiting cities.
He didn't want it back, as he now owned a small fleet of Vipers which he said were much more maneuverable, not that I cared for his vipers or this Guttercrap pile of junk. Cos now I'm on my way to the next planet out from LHS3447 to pick up 'Kat'.
Thats the name I've given my brand new Eagle, after my fiance. An early Ex-mass present or whatever they call the winter celebrations in Sol. Never been to that system myself.
