RAC IC for The Warrant

I can't give any excuses about this morning. They're tacky, unfair, and without meaning to, I've dragged all of you into my personal business. And I don't know if there are enough ways to express how sorry I am about that. I don't think there's anything that I could do, as your captain, to make up for risking your safety.

Last month, my father walked back into my life after a decade and a half. His name is Samuel Drake. He's ex-Europa ISSP, not only because he abused his position, his privilege, and his gun, but because I was the one who put him in jail and cost him his badge and reputation. Back then, I was Markus Drake. But I didn't think that after all this time looking over my shoulder, expecting him to be there, he would leave me bleeding in a stairwell.

I'm telling you this because right now, I owe you transparency. Now I have to tell you that because you're my crew, because you mean everything something to me, that there's a chance you might be in danger. He would hurt you to get to me. It's how he was then; it's how he still is now.

I know that none of you asked or signed up for this. Never, not ever would I willingly risk your safety for anything, and I'll fight to my last fucking breath to keep you from paying for my mistakes. For a couple days, I'm going to ask that you don't bring anyone on board who you don't run by me first. We might not even be docked for much longer, but we can't take any chances.

Whatever happens, between my father and whatever else is out there, I'm still your captain. They'll have to go through me first.

In the last 24 hours, have any of you been in contact with the crew of the Cuba Libre?

If I were to say the name Hera, would you know it?
