We did it!

It all seems too good to be true... So if this was all some sort of cruel dream that I'll wake up to inside my tent on Dagobah, still starving and desperate, then just kill me I say.
 
One thing I've learned so far is that this crew just might be the kind of caliber I've been hoping to come across for years. Everyone brings something unique to the table and even I feel like I could find some real sense of purpose together with them, outside of my own designs alone. Maybe there really is a bigger picture, or destiny to things.. Listen to me, talking like this..
 
I'll try and explain.. If Phaedrus wasn't there to use his pressure point wizardry to render the Dragonsnake unconscious, I think it's safe to say we were all toast. It was a sobering moment for me to take careful aim and fire with my trusty blaster at short range, encouraged by D-0-G3 and the lingering stim pack, only for the shot to be absorbed by the tough hide as though nothing at all happened!
 
I felt suddenly more vulnerable at that moment than I ever recall feeling.. I was 100% reliant on others at that point, which I've never truly felt before. I've always been comfortable as a bit of a lone-wolf, but this was a wake-up call. If there's ever a next time we take a fancy to monster hunting, I might be better off staying on the ship and doing what I can from there.. I don't know, but that moment definitely made me question everything I thought I knew, and hell knows I've seen my fair share.
 
Zeeroh's another gem I must give proper credit to.. Through his inspiring leadership we worked together to somehow heave that monstrous hulk onto the lift and into containment before it awakened. He also walked a tight line and negotiated for our ship to be towed all the way back, and partially repaired at that. I finally got my glorious shower! I was willing to have them hose me down in the cargo bay but thankfully that wasn't necessary.. Eating something besides diarrhea-inducing psychedelic mushrooms did wonders for my mind and body as well I should say!
 
Finally after we got back, Zeeroh came in with the hat trick and pulled off the sale of the Dragonsnake to Korluu. Albeit we basically broke even since they had designs to rescue their old friend in exchange for the prize, but at least we aren't in debt... and that Jarrmin didn't seem willing to negotiate after all the history they've had, anyway.
 
I only wish we had more capital on hand to spruce up the Starhunter so that we could get back in business! I figure we all have a stake in this ship's value, but I'll step up first as a willing pilot, and as a token of my faith I'm willing to chip in what I've got. We'll see if my streetwise sense can help find a suitable buyer for the Middies I have on hand to help..
 
Here's to a fresh start and new adventures with this crew, if they'll have me.
 
Until next time...
