Count Aykeem Saves the Day!

Today, after purchasing and outfitting my new Dominator, I set off to Nusakan to resume skilling on Z-bots after a long hiatus to fight wars and run missions and such. WHile I was there, fellow TIRO Squirrel Tail miscalulated his strategy in battle with a Z15 fighter patrolling outside the gates of the Z-Hunter's Dojo nook. His ship was destroyed by the Z before he could call for reinforcement, and sent me a communication from his escape pod.



Blind with rage, even though exhausted from my long trip to Nusakan, I sallied forth to exact vengeance on the evil Z-bot.



However, fatigue got the best of me, and the Z-bot blasted me nearly to bits, chasing me all over the sector tractoring me back into range again and again as I tried to flee. My ship was nearly destroyed, and disintegrating fast... before I passed out from the concussion of multiple missle strikes on the hull of my brand-new ship, I fired off a communication to Princess Tatsu calling for help. I was in desperate straits.

The Princess' ship was not ready for flight, and she passed my message on to Count Aykeem, a very skilled fighter flying a Phantom in Nusakan. Even though the Count was also exhausted from a day of fighting, he came to my rescue, battering his own body with a near-overdose of stimulant drugs.




I had not yet had a chance to fly with or even talk with Count Aykeem, but he saved my ship and my life today. I will count him now amongst my trusted friends. I hope to be able to match his heroism someday.
