We wrap up our little excursion to “near Firekka” as the TCS Tiger’s Claw heads back to slightly safer space. Except that it appears we picked up a tail (so to speak).
Bar chatter before the mission is surprisingly calm. Doomsday and Jazz are heading back to the TCS Austin, making this the last we’ll see of them, for now. Jazz says that he’s learned at lot while on the Claw, and that he thinks it’s going to take his career in a whole new direction. I wonder what he means by that. It’s probably not important.
The mission itself is about as straightforward as you can get. Nothing to escort, except the Claw at the beginning, then just hit the nav points and kill everything you find. The biggest nasty is probably the Snakeir with Jalthi escorts at Nav 3, but hey, at least it’s not a bunch of Hhriss. Also, we’re flying with Hunter this time, and back in the old, reliable Raptor. Not a bad way to pick up another Gold Star if you get all of the kills.
