Authors Notes - Bright and Early

(04-12-2004)

This was my return. I wanted to play a little with Darius and the way he interacts with the deck crew in his hangar. At the time, I ran a solo corp called Anubis Inc. and it seemed to me that even a corp with one person would have support staff hired from the ranks of society, or maybe an agency or union body. I think that gets forgotten as being important but to assume that a pod pilot would do everything themselves, like repacking and stacking modules and ore and assembling packed items and ship, is a little unrealistic to me. They fly ships with cyber implants but they are not superman.

And it is only natural that the hot shot pilots would have a little fun and tease the crew once in a while or run them over the coals in a wind up. Cruel, but what isn't?
