One Foot Out the Door

Who knew Dagobah was going to be so popular? It was me and Mevlo and some corpses for a couple weeks, but now we’re tagging along with a group of four others. And we just met somebody else! Probably shouldn’t get too attached to these guys though, they are going to try and capture some giant monster after all. Reminds me of the crew of the TrailBlazer.
 
I thought they were invincible. They knew all the best smuggling routes through Alsakan to avoid imperial patrols. How to signal customs officials, to tell them there were credits coming their way if they didn’t inspect our cargo. They taught me how to cheat at Sabaac, and how to tell if my opponent was doing the same. They had my back and I had theirs. And then they all died.
 
Come to think of it, most of my crews and gangs and coteries have come to unfortunate ends. I think I probably know more people inside Imperial prisons than out at this point. The entirety of the Cross Street Secundus, the spice runners I fell in with after the TrailBlazer, were either summarily executed or sent to lockup. The Bowery Expedition was the second most powerful street gang on all of Denon, until the first most powerful ground them into dust. Needed a break after that one, so I joined a perfectly normal, legitimate freighter crew. And then left within two months out of sheer boredom. I guess they’re probably still kicking somewhere out there.
 
I wish I knew what to do. A life of crime sure seems to have a ticking clock on whatever outfit or syndicate I seem to join. An honest day's work bores me to tears. I wish I could find something with a little danger, not exactly on the right side of the law, but also not so seedy. When all you have to deal with is scumbags and cutthroats things can go sideways too quickly. It’s just too hard to trust anyone.
 
I wonder if that exists? Excitement, a little danger, work worth doing, and a crew you can trust. Well, maybe I'll find it someday. Maybe once these guys get eaten I'll go looking for something a little more fulfilling. Though who knows, maybe they’ll catch the thing and we’ll all go to Nar Shaddaa and make a fortune. I bet I could figure out some good ways to spend a fortune there. Eh, either way I’ll be fine, like always.
