James Justice
Charting new Paths
Competition is a wonderful thing. Competition spurs on invention, change, and the chance to become and do something new. Competition brings forth new ideas, innovation.
But it also gives someone to steal from.
And that's what today was about. The spacer nursed his leg wound, a bullet through the thigh that he had incurred during his rescue of his daughter [member="Jessica Justice"] days ago. It was unfortunate, and had put him out of leading this theft ring. Instead he was sending his right hand, [member="Thraxis"] . When the spacer had met him the first time, James had never thought that the Zeltron and he would become fast business partners. But self interest, and the protection of his sister, Lady Kay, had drawn them closer together. If Thraxis was on his pay roll and busy killing for him, he wouldn't have a chance to harm her.
He tapped out a quick message to the torturer;
"Change of plans. Your going to have to lead this expedition to Theta. If the Intel is still good, the ships are going to still be on Scar's Craig. Your going to encounter heavy resistance. The military and government are tough, just like Bankor was. But I know you can lead them in. What we are doing is going to start a war, so I need you to be quick, hit hard, and take as much with you as you can. Focus on the capital class ships. We can sell them off to the highest bidder. Blue prints for them would be a great bonus too, we can manufacture them. Cheers, mate."
The Spacer finished and sent the message off with a sigh. He wined as the throbbing in his leg had picked up. James had overdone it and now he was paying the price. He looked at the clock. Surgery was in half an hour, he had time to send out a few more messages. He tapped on the numbers for [member="Celiana"], [member="Kiber Thaxton"], [member="One-Eyed Jack Varren"], [member="Stardust Raxis"], [member="Triam Akovin"], and [member="Dominik Borra"], telling them what was up. At one time or another each one had been on his pay roll with Justice Shipping. Some owed him favors, some were family and some were almost family. Each were going to benefit from this.

We are going to us this thread to dev an awesome ship at about 400 meters in length. Everyone who participates is going to get one as a reward. Shoot for about 40 posts, something we can do together easily. Thraxis is going to primarily be heading this one up, but I will be helping as needed since I am working on writing up the Graveyard Sub and so on and so forth. This will also be leading up to a war between us and the Thetans--something you will not want to miss! So let's have fun!
