ATTENTION all women: leave your boyfriends and join my fleet
Comrade, let me tell you: I've fought from one end of the sector to the other, seen all manner of thing that any inner core landlubber would go weak in the knees to just hear of, and stared down Lady Kanta in her very own court (it's a little game we play, she likes the novelty of it).
You couldn't pay me enough to take my fleet into the Abyss.
My toxic trait is that I get a special thrill out if spinning out frigates by overclocking my thrusters and just straight ramming their engine block. There's an art to getting the angle of it, y'know? And the spectacle of it, especially on the lighter craft. Divine.
Wouldn't want to have to be in charge of scrubbing the decks afterwards though, if you catch my drift.

The quarters afforded to the knight are pleasant: a proper bed with soft sheets, personal storage, a private bathroom, and even leg room.
There isn't much time to enjoy it yet, though. Shrike isn't long behind, carrying a small plastic crate with a clipboard and a basic handheld medical scanner, which she sets on the bed as soon as she gets in.
"I'll make this quick, but first," she says, reaching up towards her helmet, "I'll make it fair."
She carefully pops a series of latches, releases a safety, and pulls up.
In comparison to the maned canid visage, she looks shockingly normal; the Shrike in the suit is a sharp featured woman with a dark complexion, long black hair pulled up into a high bun, slightly silvering at the temples.
She gives the knight a warm smile. "The scanner won't work through hardsuits. Helmet off, please," she asks, tone reassuring.
how do you use names for yourself i’ve never had one ~ your fleet’s local luddic knight (@bhvkzgljy2h1cmno)
I'll let you in on a secret, comrade: I picked 'Shrike' because it sounded scary and I like birds - they're smarter than people give 'em credit for. My suit helmet looks like a dog's head because it's intimidating. Felt right, even though it doesn't totally line up with my name - people don't fuck with me ... and also I like dogs.
My point is you get to choose, yeah? And whatever you choose is usually meaningful to you. Hell, maybe the first time won't be right and you'll change your mind. I have a few on staff who have changed their names once, twice, as many as about a dozen times for one of 'em.
First step is just to pick somethin', anything, right now... and go from there.
Ranking Hegemony picket officers based on how cute they are when they're pissed at me.
Say what you want about pirates, but their politicking is at least easy to understand. Amazing how many problems can be solved over a game of cards, a drink, or a pile of credits.
You just jettison two thousand units of ore 'cause you looted an abandoned mining rig, or are you just happy to see me?
