[X3AP] Peace Is Coming
Posted: Fri, 1. Jun 18, 19:42
... perhaps. Some day.
The Goners have Good News: they are ready for peace. All they need is some able pilot to gather people, who will talk for Commonwealth and Terrans.
My ID card (attached below, authenticated fake from accredited Teladi workshop -- no discounts available) implies some piloting experience that might be sufficient to cross the contested war sectors. Furthermore, I have been rather successful at "Get that Terran!" tasks. The Goners, however, are most peculiar -- they demand the Terran to be delivered alive.
That'll be the first ...
What I've been working on -- and is the main gist of the post -- is my Terran reputation. Surely they won't trust some nobody? I could have rushed much more, but now I finally have reached one milestone in my game plan: moderate renown among the ATF. I firmly believe that I'm considered a VIP among Terrans. A definite We are Number One vibe.
I do have a worry though, that shall delay the peace talks somewhat. I have brokered a most satisfactory deal with the ATF. I am allowed to purchace Valhalla-class ships and Jump Beacons from ATF as long as the War continues. Terran peace-time bureaucracy will not allow such profiteering. I need some more shipments.
Alas, the Goners are driving a hard bargain. They do offer to refocus my UFJD that went all bridesmaid a while ago. That is hard to resist.
I'm fully aware that my perfect reputation will be slightly tarnished if I meddle in the politics, but I'm determined to clear my name once the peace talks are over.
A Man with a Plan, on a Mission. What could possibly go wrong?
