Escape Velocity Nova: Gems of Fomalhaut

[Squishy Cheeks]

The Kane band, the artificial ring surronding the Earth, was alive with activity. Thousands of ships were docked around it, others docked inside hangers. Connor Sullivan had a private hanger in section Gamma 3. It was located directly above the Pacific ocean, and in a clear day you could see Panama as you left port.

The charlotte was cleared to dock in Connor's hanger. The insect like miner landed comfortably next to a heavily modified Starbridge.

The airlock engaged when the hanger doors shut a tapp came at the airlock door of the Charlotte from the docking collar she landed on.

James opened the door. Connor looked like a younger version of James, same hair, same miscievious eyes.

"Flying this kind a hunk of junk, eh. What would da say?"

"Shut your hole." James said. "Don't embarass me infront of my mates."

"Aye. I'll keep it to a minimum." He turned to the nearest stranger. "I'm Connor Sullivan, Captain of The Wild Rover, perhaps you've heard of me or my ship. Well let me say, all the stories are absolutely true." he said it with a perfectly straight face, but then started to crack up.

"You never get tired of that sad joke do you?" James asked rhetorically in typical older brother fashion.
