Hey Ma,

Just checking in while we have the ability. We're in dock at the moment over some Cat-forsaken hole. You wouldn't believe the crap I've managed to land myself in this time. I know you told me to be careful of the ship I picked but it all looked reputable, well, okay, it did until I handed over my money anyway. It was then that I started having all sorts of misgivings about the situation. They didn't ask for ID. Or a name! Nothing. Hell neither did the new Master-at-Arms, had a kinda military feel to him - so I was a bit surprised, but he shook it off, reckon he thought that the Captain or the Owner would have looked.

Hey, did you know that they have a lady on board who sings to the ship to make it fly? And then there are these pretty, pretty lights. Pretty, pretty, pretty lights... But then they go away when we get to where we're going. Anyway, Ma, trouble kinda started when we got to the world we're on now. Mantii having a fight with some pirates. But turns out that the pirates were just farmers who'd been told that the Mantii were Spiders! Anyway, it all got shot to frack once the Captain decided to pitch in and help. Anyway, so we rescued the Mantii and set off again.

And then things got worse. We were trailed by a Directorate ship, and a Cat one, but wasn't too worried about that. Manage to shake it off a bit and land. Only to have a Cat platoon confront us at the dock for some fracking cargo! Captain was playing dumb and the Owner too... But something is going on. Then of course, the directorate put their huge stonking feet in where they didn't belong and they wanted some cargo too. Owner turned over a box and in it there was, get this, a pile of beans and one of the little pirates we caught attacking the Mantii. It was the only one left alive - we had taken it on board and well... it kinda escaped. I mean really weird, here one minute, gone the next kinda strange. Course, that's only the start of the strange stuff, but I'll get to that.

Anyway, the Directorate wandered off with their captive leaving the Cats on the dock. Anyway, they grabbed one look at the engineer and started storming after him. Well, the soldiers did anyway, the mages stood back. Three of them, all kinda young. Don't worry, I did what you told me. Claws in, paws up, ID out. You didn't raise a damned fool. Course, the stupid navigator got in the way and got knocked out. But the engineer pulled this weird red shiny thing out and cut off some of the cat's feet. Then the guild showed up and the Cats left, tails low. I got out of there then. Don't particularly wanna be caught in the middle, ya know?

Oh yeah, the weird stuff. Well, there was this rat - and I swear I've stayed away from the kibble - who was talking. But I kinda killed him. But then his girlfriend rat came after me and threw this... energy ball thing at me. I kinda killed her too. But there are reports of talking cockroaches with pink antennae and stuff. It's all very, very odd. But hey, who knows, might get a bounty outta it. Especially seeing how much the Cats want the engineer, and how lax the owner is. Course, it could be some directorate rouse... Dunno yet.

Oh and by the way, I seem to have adopted a kitten. She's just like Rex at her awkward phase. Gonna try to teach her a few things, keep her whiskers outta trouble, that sort of thing.

Yours,
Peaches
