I was kind of almost kidnapped today. I'm fine. It's fricking insane. We have people interrogating the guys right now, and it looks like they'd heard that the Andromeda Ascendant had a new head engineer, figured out why I wasn't there, and come in on one of the plethora of trade ships we've been getting lately. Haven't gotten an employer's name out of them, though.
I walk around armed all the time for a reason. They must have thought "short guy, geek, how hard could it be?" Losers. One of them's gonna have to get his left kneecap replaced.
But, yeah, Dylan replaced me for real. I've been on leave of absence for months with no end in sight so... he's within his rights.
Hurts, though.
Now that I'm the official cynic in power in Boston (Brendan's official idealist and hero, John's official politician) as well as the former head engineer of the Andromeda Ascendant I seem to have some value.
