School Daze #23

 Dad,

I hope your hush-hush yakka turns out sweet as. Heard a fair number of Dock Workers in the area, and hear rumblings about Old Man Star, sounding sus. Been knuckle under on stuff here, and some things progressing flat out. I read that book you recommended, your advice turned out good as gold!

There was a Duvolle Labs faculty piss-up last night, and I used some of that social jiujitsu to choice results. Was introduced to some lab folks, but also other distro agents, particularly a guy running the distro office at Scuelazyns VII. He was asking if I had a bigger bucket than the little shotglass I was flying, and I told him about the Wreathe I use to get my plant products out of lowsec. He clapped me on the shoulder and said I was just the kind of pilot he was looking for, gave me his card, and told me to call him tomorrow.

If I start hauling for him, it's definitely a step up in pay and rep at the labs. However.. the downside; I can't play with the Serp muppets en-route while I'm in a Wreathe. I was making heaps more ISK with running these cargo runs in the Kākapowai, and throwing darts with the ratbags on the side. Oh well, think about the long game, I hear you say. By the by, dyadya Kartsev set me straight on maximizing the Wreathe's cargo and inertial kit for the larger loads.

Anyway, MechEng classes are starting, and Gabi's keen as about my new opportunity, despite it taking me out on the road more/longer. She suggested I keep Kākapowai in Sinq, and still run some ratbag dart leagues from there (or that she wants to keep me bowling around).

Cheers,

Wai
