Freelancer: The Begging
“Trent! Wake up!” Tobias said nudging Trent rather harshly.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Trent said still not fully aware of his surroundings.
“We found it, Trent! WE FOUND IT”
Trent slowly got out of bed, still not sure what Tobias was talking about. What did he find? What could it have been to make Tobias so excited? Then it hit him.
“We found it?” he asked puzzled.
“YES! Come quickly! LOOK!” Tobias continued to yell. Trent was worried that Tobias was going to drop dead from a heart attack.
Trent put on his flight suit and his leather boots. He got out of bed and followed Tobias up to the bridge, trudging softly on the metal deck. He went up the stairs of his Clydesale that Tobias bought him for his 23rd birthday… next year he will be able to get his Advanced Aeronautical Systems License and he will be able to fly this brand new baby himself. Although he will need a Basic Weapons License to equip his new ship with Level 3 weapons and maximize the ship’s potential.
Trent had big plans, too big he sometimes thought, he first thought of joining the Bretonia Police but then realized that he will be committing his whole life to a place where he didn’t even want to be, so he thought of going to Liberty and working for the LSF. After browsing the neural net he realized that the LSF didn’t pay very well and didn’t have the best equipment. So Trent decided to pursue the career path of a trader. But first he needed a ship, witch Tobias was able to provide. Tobias’s father died of Cardamine overdose. His father Kyle was a very popular Bretonian actor who made a lot of money back on Leeds so after awhile his father become bored and started looking for something to complete his life. And complete it he did… He made contacts with the Outcasts which supplied him with Cardamine right into Leeds, so after blowing most of his credits on his new found love he died… Leaving Tobias with a very large house and a small equipment and ship store, that was destined to go into the ground. So Tobias sold it and bought himself and his best friend a Clydesale and together they went treasure hunting and exploring.
After a couple of stops at Durham Border Station and Battle Ship York to reequip they were off to find the much talked about wreck of a Crusader pilot Anthony Tashouen. After days of searching various dust and ice fields, with several false alarms and surviving numerous attacks by the Mollys and the Gaians they continued to search. On the seventh day when their supplies were running low and they were getting tired they spotted a wreck floating by an asteroid. A premature scan indicated that it was in fact a Corsair ship and it was mounted with the prototype Angelito Mk IV. Those were worth at least 400 000 credits each. And there were four of them! They were rich! And plus the body of the Titan, if it was still in good condition the Bretonian military would give good money for it too.
“I can’t believe it…” said Trent. Not an easy man to impress but at that moment he was speechless, “Tractor it in…”
“I’m working on it” Tobias on the other hand was portraying his excitement in a different way; he couldn’t stop moving, “Locking on…. Tracking… Activating tractor beam… Ok let’s get out of here.”
“Ok, I’ll keep the tractor beam locked on the Titan while you get us out of here,” Trent said, checking all the systems while Tobias got into his seat.
“Setting waypoint for Leeds… Activating Cruise Engines… 10 percent….20 percent” Tobias counted down.
“Damn it! We got company” Trent announced
“Who?”
“Analyzing… Oh no…”
“What?” Tobias asked worryingly
“Corsairs…”
