"Ah yes, how I lost my arm. Well, heres how it happened..."

"It all started when I had just bought my first ship, a wimpy Emalghion freighter. Back then, they had almost double the fuel, but less carge and weapon space. I eagerly watched the mission computer for a mission. I was so excited, I didn't even read the mission details when one popped up. I just double clicked on it, and sped off to my ship."

"When I finally read it, I was already out of the system. I remember it perfectly. The exact description was:"

" Transport 20 tons of food to Mestor for 500,000 credits. "

"I wondered briefly why they had let any Emalghion take it, rather then letting some experienced hotshot get the job. I read the pay again. Why would food be worth 500k credits? Food might be expensive in UE space, on Earth especially, but 500k was way too high for a normal job."

"I quelled a nagging suspicion, and sped off towards Sol."

"A blinking red light in the upper right of the cockpit first alerted me of danger in the DSN-4386 system. :eek: I saw three Voinan frigates. Checking my gas tank, I noticed that I had just enough to get to DSN-1810(a UE outpost), but no more. That meant no afterburners. I turned around to jump out of the system, but there were 5 fighters. I was surrounded!"

Yawning, Draco settles down for a quick nap. "I'll finish it when I wake up."

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

The dragon awaits no one's whim.
Doom, gloom, and things that go boom!!

Draco wakes up.

"I decided to go through the frigates, as they were slower. However, two missiles hit my ship at the same time, crippling my shields. They sent me a hyperlink, saying to surrender or die. It wasn't an easy choice. I let them board me, but I hid half of the cargo."

"Fifteen Voinan soldiers entered my ship, and took the 10 tons I hadn't hidden in the escape pods. When they weren't looking I planted a timebomb on their ship, the VRSC21. I didn't give it enough time. After the last soldiers left, the bomb blew. The 'blast' doors of the escape pod with me in it hadn't quite shut, so some of the blast hit me. I survived, but lost my arm."

Draco grimaces
:frown:

"It turns out that the 'food' was really rare metal from Kelmeon to make their new cloaki- I shouldn't be telling you this, should I? Anyways, they paid me only 2/3 of the reward for losing half the cargo. I got my revenge on the Voinans--by destroying the whole raiding squad--but lost my arm."

The dragon awaits no whims but his own...
Doom, gloom, and things that go boom!!
Die Voinan Die!!!!!!!

Yeah, there's nothing to do at this bar, let's have a new one.

------------------
I came; I saw; I hid behind a tree.

SilverDragon gave Draco a look. "Liar. You probably lost that arm from an engine
explosion."

"Voinians don't HAVE missiles." SilverDragon grins, taking a sip of his drink. "I'm
going." he declares and leaves.

------------------
Jude's left. sniff
We'll miss you/are missing you!
sniff sniff

Shooting a dirty look at SilverDragon for guessing, Draco waits for someone to open a new bar.

------------------
The dragon awaits no whims but his own...
Doom, gloom, and things that go boom!!
Die Voinan Die!!!!!!!

I opened a new one.DO NOT POST ANYMORE.

------------------
I'm not dead yet.In fact I feel pretty good!"
I cut off your arm!""It's only a flesh wound!"
"Bless this holy hand grenade..."

I'm sorry for poting Rima, but I just feel like having to do this.

ESPilot runs in yelling like a mad man, chucking grenades everywhere, firing off pistols and rifles, throwing knifes at various places, killing everyone remainding in the bar. He runs away fast as hell and activates the grenades. He looks behind him, and mentally counts down. 3.....2......1.......BBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! The internal supports for the whole station began collapsing, and gas fumes started spurting everywhere as ESPilot jumps into the already half-closed hatch of his ship. It takes off as a huge explosion rocks all the ships in the Hrekka system, the explosion of North Tip Station.
