For many pilots, today was a special day they had been waiting for all year, the day Old Nick returned. Once a year Old Nick makes his rounds throughout the galaxy, handing out items to all the good girl and boys. "Woohoo! I got a level 8 grease monkey! It's exactly what I wanted!" exclaimed one terran trader in the crowd of hundreds that were gathered around Old Nick today as he stopped in Saturn. Most of the girls and boys were happy to see Old Nick again, but for a few pilots it just wasn't enough. "I already have this device! Your going down Old Nick!" one pilot exclaimed. Whispers among some of the unhappy pilots mentioned a possible raid on Old Nick to see what else he had in that sack of his on the back of his ship.
When I asked Old Nick about why some pilots got good things and others simply got everyday things, his reply was "Don't forget, I see you when you're sleeping, and I know when you're awake, and trust me, I know if you have been bad. I have a complete and comprehensive faction list back home." When asked how he could have a faction list for EVERY girl and boy in the galaxy he simply smiled warmly at me and said "That V'rix technology is pretty amazing." Then with a wink of his eyes and a few quick button pushes on his console, he vanished as soon as he had appeared.
Does this mean that Old Nick is working with the V'rix, and if it does, why would he be helping us? I left Saturn that day with more questions than answers, and not to mention a very nice present in my cargo.
I will be sure to keep my readers up to date and post any news I get concerning the possible link between Old Nick and the V'rix.
