Our tale continues our hero now as decided what he wants to do on this planet, he needs to find a pilot but where?
It had been a few weeks since I had landed on this planet, I had already been to the hospital to have my leg wound sorted out, the doctors were not unfamiliar with Tau and were very careful of my wound, I had found a nice little house for sale on the lower district. I had purchased the house along with a transportation vehicle; I also had bought a used imperial two man drop ship just in case I ever needed such a vehicle for a mission.
I was starting to run out of money and needed a job soon, their were many groups out there that were willing to hire men for their mercenary attack forces but I didn’t want to work under some one I wanted to work for myself. I decided that I would set up my own business on this planet offering my skills to the highest bidder, I also decided that I need a extra man some one who could use my drop ship, I needed a pilot.
I went to a local inn and asked about where I could hire or find men willing to work, she told me about a place by the local air docks that all the pilots seemed to like to hang around, she also informed it was a rough area and not many people returned form there, I thanked her for her helpful information and set out to hirer a pilot.
I arrived at the entrance to the air docks, it was a tip there was rubbish every where vagabonds walking around drunk, this was a terrible place I could tell by the smell, I moved into the area carefully, I didn’t want to cause a fight and maybe end up dead, I was also told my a friend I had made since moving here that their a re street gangs around here that kill and scavenge from their victims if I see them he told me to run, a Tau never run.
I was getting closer to the air bar when a saw a group of men with crude weapons, I gathered that these must be one of the local street gangs, I hadn’t brought my rifle as its quite bulky and hard to hide, however I did bring a little pistol I had bought from a local merchant. The so called leader of the street gang told me to hand over all my valuables or they were going to take them from me, I laughed at them, take them from me I would like to see them try!
