He knew his way around parts and knew his way around many ship classes and as previously demonstrated, could almost rebuild a Scarab vehicle from the ground up. A mechanic of more than simple parts and modules. This was never my intent when I went independent- taking on strays and becoming their de-facto mentors, yet here I was.
Time for him to have a chance at a new life. I was no psychologist but had spent enough time around them-due to my own injuries-to recognize his silent trauma. It was fortunate their losing began when it did, opening the door for everyone to make good their departure. Otto insured the kid was taken care of and not abused by the others, but was not in a position to do more, as the opportunity we had, was not present then. His emotional development was skewed by their very nature, stunting his ability to emotionally process hence his blank staring. He became somewhat like a pet sleeping on shop floors and living off the scraps they would toss to him. They kept the kid as a lackey- doing the odd lackey jobs for their technicians and mechanics. Otto had told me how the kid was orphaned at an early age by a pirate faction that no longer existed thanks in no small part to the one we had recently been contracted to. The trick only worked if you were near enough to a planet, to begin with, otherwise, you would have to either fight the interdiction or the pirate.Īton was another story. Once a pirate took the bait and activated their interdiction module, it would shift its lock from you to the planet, and send them at near light speed, to the surface below. By orbiting a planet just below the orbital cruise line, your signal would still be high enough to register as being in space, but you would be near enough to the planet’s surface making it the primary gravity source. One trick I taught her early on was in using any landable planet’s mass, to bait and neutralize pirates.

She learned rapidly how to employ both through an eclectic range of fight and flight scenarios, including both light and heavy gravity planetary approaches and landings.
Since departing the HIP 103620 System, I had kept Kiersten on a consistent schedule of flying both the Krait and its Taipan fighter.
