"It's on, we're good to start with it!" I looked over my shoulder and noticed my second in command leaning in the doorstep of my cabine.
She was a tough one, she crossed New Eden with me, followed me in whatever adventure I dived into, if it was for pirates or politics, she didn't care, she had only one thing on her mind, money, cold hard ISK.
"Allright load up the Obelisks, we'll go shopping" We weren't based to far away from our suppliers, but in our line of work we had to keep some distance between our suppliers and customers, and with the customers I had, it was best not to give them a clue where they could find us.
"So what is so important you're here? what happened to your slaves?" "This one's important, old friend, I want this to go smooth without problems, if that means I have to come over here to keep my eye on your greedy claws, I'll do it." "With those crap implants of yours you wouldn't spot me stealing an Orca out of your hangar when you're in it!" "Thats possibly the reason why you sold me those implants."
We laughed and hugged eachother. In my arms I held one of the smartest and most dangerous people I ever met, and I traveled alot.. Balor Haliquin was his name, for some his name meant nothing, for the more important people his name made them either happy, or terrified, he'd proven himself in battle countless of times, just to make a statement, battle wasn't his thing, politics and tactics were, they were also the reason why I came here...
"So old friend what can I do for you this time?" "Well remember those loads of Amarr cystals I hooked you up with?" "Still haven't run out of those babies!" "I need a favour" "Oh dear..." "Yeah I know.." "How bad is it?" "Thats just what I wanted to ask you." "If you're aware of this you're hanging out with the wrong people again Hadden." "People who pay are always the right people, it doesn't matter if they're the wrong ones" "Allright I'll enlighten you, but thats all I can do." "It's all I'm asking, now tell me, who?"
This was the second time I asked a favour, I still had a zillion left to ask back, but the first time I asked a favour from Balor it went real good for me, the only downside was it went real bad for alot of other people, people I didn't know, so it just went real good. The part where it went wrong for alot of people, was one of the reasons I tried to keep a low profile, I ****ed off many people and with people like me and Balor arround, I could be certain there were messages allready being sent.
"Well, there's a new bull in the barn, he's young, agressive and ready to use his horns" "Dont give me that metaphorical ****, I build those horns" "Allright, whatever you heard, it'll get worse, or better depends on who's side you're on?" "I dont pick sides, I make side A fight side B, thats it." "Well dont get me started on A and B, you've got half the alphabet gearing up" "Now we're getting somewhere, Names Balor, I want to know who will hold grudges on me." "Well weÆre in it, that you knew, do you really want to know?ö "Preferably yeah!" "Damnit Hadden, you remember that control tower you put up for laughs?" "Yeah that ****ed off alot of people"
I grinned, I once put up a control tower in a system I got told not to put one in, some guys contacted my diplomat and started asking for billions ransom for the tower. I contacted another diplomat and gave the order to strike down. My tower's still there.
"Well they're in there aswell" "They're still arround?" "Yeah but they assumed you were gone aswell" "I can work with that, they got a supplier yet?" "Yeah, you."
I laughed pretty hard, heads turned my direction, laughing like this in times like these scared people, you either were insane or you were about to go crazy. I was just happy.
"Balor old friend, if there's anything you need" "I'm ok I'm on the right side on this one" "Then I'll meet you halfway in
