Johan Berkel was sat in a corner of the bar. It was crowded with every kind of pirate from shady veterans to bright-eyed greenhorns. "How long you been flying" an old timer inquired.
"Bout a Jazura" Johan replied "just bought an old lifter so im gonna trade
meatsteaks"
"Dont stray unless youve got back up" advised the old timer.
"Im looking for a gunner" asked Johan.
"try my grandson Brent" the old timer grinned showing toothless gums "BRENT! ive found you a job kid"
"Hi im Brent" said the young man "mind if i join you on your ship"
"Ok im Johan Berkel'' Johan replied examining Brent. He was no more than twenty jazuras old with piercing blue eyes and jet black hair. His muscular arms were covered in tatoos.
PART 2 IN THE BUSINESS
"Any ideas?" Johan asked preparing to undock.
"Try the energy cell run from The Wall" Brent replied.
"Take over while i go wash my hands" Johan said bitterly.
He walked into the washroom and stared into the mirror. A battle hardened face looked back at him. Ten years in a buster cockpit and he thought he knew how to fly. Looking back it seems so different, so responsive. Still, he knew where to avoid trouble. Walking back onto the bridge he sat into his chair and set autopilot to The Wall. "Now i can get some rest" he thought. Meanwhile in his cabin Brent lay on his bunk thinking about home. "BRENT WEVE GOT COMPANY!" screamed Johan " A BUSTER AND TWO HARRIERS" Brent leaped into the rear turret and armed the APAC, targeting the buster knocking its shields down.
"How are the shields" Brent asked down the intercom
"Fine but dont hold back" replied Johan.
Four more shots and the buster blew up sending debris all over. The remaining harriers scattered before Brent could target them. Through the wreckage Johan spotted a crate and scanned it. "Unknown object" he muttered "best pick it up" The lifter which was newly christened Johan's Moneymaker carried on to Solar Power Plant Alpha picking up energy cells then returned back to Argon Prime. Johan docked on the Equipment Dock when he remembered the unknown object. When he told the salesman he mentioned a missile. "Give you eighty k for it" offered the man. "Done" Replied Johan. After he made several more runs Johan could finally buy a buster. He Christened it Red Dawn.
"Brent, You can fly the Moneymaker but you scan, report trade deals then i tell you where to go. Got it kid?" said Johan proudly.
"Yessir" answered Brent "Thanks for this oppotunity boss"
