Sargasso of Souls – Pre Session 1

A lot has changed. For me it started in mid 2106. I had been out of the UNMC for around six months. During that time my financial situation had gone from bad to worse, spiralling on downward till it hit rock bottom. For a while I had made some half decent money on the fight circuit, but it wasn’t long before I developed a reputation. And after that nobody would get in the cage with me anymore.

Consequently I was out on the street and finding it increasingly difficult to pay for a meal. My charming personality and a near empty holdall were about all I had.

I’d put the word out that I was looking for work almost as soon as I left the Corps but no one had got back to me. It’s at times like that you wonder if you have enough friends. Still it was a bit late to worry about that.

Then suddenly, out of the blue, just when I needed it most, I got a call. Morris, an old NCO of mine, left me a message to say that he and his brother were putting a team together on behalf of Cochrane Industries to watchdog a small corporate courier service operating out of the Esperi system. He remembered me from the Corps and wondered if I was interested. It didn’t take me long to decide. It’s off world but there’s nothing to keep me here. I called him straight back and told him I was in.

And so, within 48 hours, I was on a shuttle bound for Southern France.
