Terran tradesman, Wyrinn, who has been missing for a year and a half, made contact with his guild again today. He reported that he had no idea where he had been and what he had been doing there. Upon inspecting his cargo hold, he found some very patient passengers! "We just want to get moving to Aragoth. Thank you for the ride!", they told him.
After heading to Aragoth station and dropping off his grateful passengers, he had a maintenance crew do a thorough check on his ship. Aside from ancient components and a stock of pumpkins with launcher, they did find one fragment of data in the ship's computer that they were able to recover. What they found shocked the pilot. On route to Aragoth, Wyrinn had been abducted by the V'rix!
"The V'rix! But I was always really nice to them!"
This, of course, was well before the war that has covered our galaxy, but it does make you wonder what our enemy has learned from our trader friend.
As the pilot prepared to head out, Punpkin Chunker equipped, I asked him what he would do now. His reply was, "I'm going to go scare the daylights out of some newbies!"
