Post Echoes

“How long?” he barked at me. Mitchell was perched on the nose of the Quanu Systems scout ship we'd flown into the station's small docking port. We'd come in fast, sensor baffles active and broad-spectrum ECM driving the holographic HUD's capacitor warning screaming into the red. I looked up at him from the block of electronics I was hastily cabling together and grinned.

“Four minutes to assemble the gear. Maybe another two to run diagnostics and power up the virtual. This isn't exactly state-of-the art kit you know? Besides, it's not your consciousness that's going to be in there talking to all of this.” I gestured around the dim-lit landing area. The gentle hum and warm glow of standby systems did nothing to console me. “Just keep an eye out there,” I said, nodding at the shield that shimmered and spat at the entrance to the dock. “And shoot anything that looks unfriendly.”
Well, I've been dabbling with ideas for my new character (as well as reading far too much cyberpunk recently) so I've started putting pen to paper, so to speak. Heavily inspired by some of the books I've read recently and it takes some liberties with what Jumpgate lore we have (though to be honest, if we have beer and brandy, I don't see why we can't have coffee) but I'm enjoying writing it. As such, it's prone to editing in the future.

The first part is linked below (as, as much as I love these forums, I don't want to grant CM a royalty-free, in perpetuity license to use my IP ).

Thanks for reading!
