Draco sees that people are looking expectantly at him for his story, so he begins.
-----------------
"I was a mercenary until about 5 years ago. On my last job, although I didn't know it at the time, I had to follow a freighter that had some illegal goods on it. When it was unloading I was to get the goods and destroy the ship. The job was given by the UE Commander of Police. He told me that most of the cargo was powerful weapons smuggled from Aludra. I followed the 'Ladoner' from Sol to Centuri to Bakka, then north to the system DSN-1210, and they refueled at the outpost there. I won't bore you the exact route, but we finally arrived at Emalghion space. I was surprised, because I didn't want to do anything to my race members, but when one of the crew opened the door to get a drink, I saw that everyone onboard was human."
-----------------
"They headed off again, but when they were less than halfway out of the system they crashed into an asteroid. It ripped a hole in the side of the ship. Every human onboard was sucked out into the void of space. The asteroid floated straight toward them, and then they were gone. The asteroid headed my direction, but I used a repulsor beam to keep it away while I shot it with my turrets. Eventually it stopped moving. I put it into my hold, picked up the chemical weapons from the 'Ladoner', and headed back to Sol after putting a few RPB in the cockpit."
-----------------
'Fire in the night, embers in the void, flames in my blindness.' (Draco Firestone describing the explosion of the 'Ladoner')
-----------------
"I was rewarded greatly(2 million credits), but I stopped doing jobs to care for my pet."
----------------------------------
Draco looks around to see if there is any juicy food for 'Fifi' to eat.

The dragon awaits no whims but his own...
