Early</span></strong></div></div><strong>Name</strong>: Braxton Early<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Captain<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Line, infirmary, Shadow<br/><strong>Time:</strong>3rd of september, 2505, night<br/><strong>With:</strong>Sue, everyone<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong>”Money sounds shiny.”</strong>Braxton said and slowly got up. His leg was patched up good enough to walk, but it still hurt like a bitch.<strong>”But I am suspicious. Why would you blow your nest egg on us, when I’m sure that you are going to need it to see that your ‘niece’ gets a decent life, a decent education and, well, some <em>decency</em>. Whoever these people are who are chasing Sophie, I’m willing to bet that they are more than lowly <em>Wa Cao De Liu Mang</em>*,  thugs and pimps in the water trade**.<br/><br/>Besides, we can’t take The Line to the core right now. Not with a cargo bay door that won’t open or close properly. It’s not like we have two of them and everything, but according to Alliance protocol they can send us right to some shiny core wharf to get it fixed at a price that is a robbery. Not to mention that our hull – and our cook – is riddled with bullet holes and that will raise some unfortunate questions, too.  <br/><br/>The Levetts are probably still looking for us on Shadow – and maybe even patrolling in orbit for us, too – so I’m all for a change of scenery. But before we go to the core, we need to get ourselves a few repairs, a new paint job and some respectable cargo, too. To afford that, we need some money on hand. Now Phil mentioned that the Levetts are expecting some ‘action pay’ to come their way this afternoon with the 5’o clock train. The robber barons are paying their workers in corporate chits, but that shit won’t float with hard-boiled people like the Levetts. That train will be carrying some real good stuff; gold, alliance credits, or whatever valuables the cannery owners could scrounge up on short notice. I suggest, seeing as they are murderin’ bastards and all, we avail ourselves to some of their hard-earned blood money and then burn hard for the black. They are already our enemies <em>and</em> they can’t report us to the feds. ‘Cause if the feds get us, we will all be in court tellin’ nasty stories about what the Levetts did in Mowa and they will hang right beside us. So we do the deed right quick, retire to Athens and use the money to get the ship fixed up and then cross the core from Osirus to Ariel, so you and Mya can get some banking done. That way, we will be leaving any trouble behind us and come out on the other side of the core as fresh, clean businessmen and women. Hell, never thought I would be runnin’ <em>towards</em> the gorram core!</strong><br/><br/><br/>*Frog humping sons of bitches<br/>**Prostitution<br/>
