I realized after writing my last entry that a ship is a ship, at least for my purposes, so I have been exploring options for getting a ship without having to go back for the one that is stuck in that system that I barely managed to escape from. I thought I was making progress, putting together a trade that I would be happy with and that would also allow others to take on my risky assets with the chance to make a profit as well...
But the deal fell through.
So that means more time repairing droids for room and board and to pay back what I owe for the smuggling operation. It was interesting at first, and the place I am staying, away from the main station here, it is friendly (so far), but... I would like to have more options.
[filter: to those who came through the rift only]I have discovered that my deal fell through because I am not native to this galaxy. Because someone didn't want me to have this deal, because I am an immigrant, and they made that known to the people I was dealing with, so that they would avoid me.
I do not know who was behind it, I was unable to track it further back (and I do not know what I would do if I discovered exactly who it was in any case).
But now I can tell that I am being watched.
This has not happened to me before, but I have not been dealing with the wider galaxy for very long. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there anything to be done?
