#SST24 30 -I know that babysitting one of the little elevators on Titan ain’t exactly anyone’s idea of a great finale to a career like yours, but… -But what? -Well, it’s been a pleasure serving with you, sir.

#SST24 29 Before they got the production lines running for the Pulsar frigates, they bolted the particle cannon onto Reliant chassis’s. Didn’t work great, the power draw was way too high, radiators couldn’t handle it, the gun itself messed with thrust really bad.

#SST24 28 If there’s one piece of advice I can give you, you gotta try to drink in some of this cosmic fuckin’ splendor.

#SST24 27 They’ve been flying these Sentinel-class frigates around since before the Shattering. So yeah, they’re old as fuck; don’t matter though, a 64mm plasma-cored shell fired out of a coilgun is gonna do some damage, I can tell you that.

#SST24 26 The Coalition has leapt ahead of us in terms of nanotech construction and shipbuilding. These starports are sprouting up all over the Line.

#SST24 25 Getting the rig on the surface is the exciting part, kid. After that it’s just drill, crush, cook, and pack for the next month.

#SST24 24 -They’ll be excited back on Earth at least, to finally find out for sure what happened to the Arc. -That impact site doesn’t look like a meteorite to me. -You think someone put a railgun slug into it? -I do. Question is, who would’ve done this?

#SST24 23 -A squadron of Monarchs is burning hard to reach higher orbit, please advise. -Keep an eye on them, if they look like they’re maneuvering towards L5 then we open fire. -Copy.

#SST24 22 They call it a starliner but the tiny berth you get reminds more of prison cells I’ve slept in. Once we get to the mining rig we’ll actually have some more space, believe it or not.

#SST24 21 “Indy salvage and courier, huh?” “That’s what it says on the IFF.” “It’s just that you don’t see a lot of indy ships with modern avionics and point-defense. Or hardened breaching airlocks.” “It’s dangerous out there in the void, what can I say?”
