Iohan Sjet sits a a dingy dockside canteen talking to a young pilot. Numerous bottles litter the table
“So why did you become a Pilot? Was it to make money beyond your wildest dreams, to escape from your life on the surface, to seek adventure or was it something deeper? That feeling in your gut you get while sitting in one of the bars in Rens.
That cramp you have when you over hear pilots talking about the Amarrian and Ammatar raids into Heimatar.”
“The thing is that most people on the surface know “they” are out there. All Minmatar have slaves in their ancestry, either from the rebellion or more recently, but most don’t get to experience the horror of watching a transport dumping “Adopted Workers “into the void before Concorde can get there.
For people on the surface it is a very distant issue. For the pilots of Electus Matari and most of the Matari Alliances it is a reality that we deal with on a daily basis.”
“I won’t kid you, I got into this to make a bit of money and retire a wealthy man. That all changes when you have to deal with (Censored) using 70 innocent civilians as a navigational hazard, so they can save their own backsides.”
(Pauses..)
“Sooner or later you are going to see something that will make you question your motives and goals. You may find your answers in religion, economic power, the blue print of a rig the life of a trader. Who knows? After that job in Rens I had questions, but I found mostof my answers here”
((Iohan touches his Corp & Alliance patch on his flight suit)).
I found some good people and a cause worth fighting for, because if we don’t do it who will?
"I can see by the look on your face that you think this Sebester has been in space too long or he’s gone crazy? Maybe he’s had to many clones, beers or both? You might be right, but only time will tell on that one."
(He realises that he has been rambling for some time)
"Anyway, enjoy your drink and don't worry about the bill I got it. You know where to find us if you need to chat. . Good luck out there. "
