Alex Mason was standing at the prow of his light corvette. It was a smaller ship, able to be run by two people, if they were good. That was what he wanted. He was going after treasure. No one wanted to split booty more than they had to.
He had posted an advert, looking for another person to help him work the corvette. Someone had to maintain the engines and know navigation. He also wanted someone he could trust with his ship. It had cost him several mega-cred packs. He had also customized the ghost mod. So far, no one else had been able to detect his ship.
It was also a necessity to have someone who could be a backup weapons master. He was a pirate after all, so plundering along the way was a given. He needed someone handy with a blaster, as well as the turrets on the ship.
He sat on the bridge, tweaking the custom AI. He hadn't paid the port tariffs on Ravis 4, so was hoping that his cargo would get unloaded, as well as he would find his crew.
He had heard of a few smugglers and pirates in port when he docked and started unloaded, so hoped he might find one of them to help. There was a code of respect among pirates. They didn't steal from each other, but didn't go out of their way to help each other out.
He sat back and stretched his frame. He was 23 years old, young to be owning his own ship, but he had been first mate and had gotten the choice of their last prize. He had chosen the corvette he was on. He was laughed at, being 6'6" and well muscled. Everyone said that the corvette would be too small for him. It turned out that it was perfect, as he would easily recoup what he had spent to refit the corvette to his specifications.
He sighed and headed down to the loading dock, hoping to hear from anyone. He wanted to get the new meeting out of the way so that his new crew could start learning the peculiarities of the ship. He looked around the dock, his grey eyes taking in everything, seeing a few pirates he knew. He hoped that he wouldn't be working with a few of them, but one stood out. He had heard her name was Kat, but wasn't sure. He knew she was all business. He actually hoped she would be the one to apply to his advert. He just sighed and waited as the hoverbots removed the cargo. He had already accepted payment, so the only thing left was to wait for his advert to be filled.
