The day had finally come, the day she has been dreaming about ever since she was little, the day on which she would finally roam the heavens.
She has childhood recollections of a man of Matari origin who used to visit her family home. After lengthy conversations with her parents, he would occasionally find the time to recount wondrous stories of starfields and nebulae by which she was captivated. Ever since he started telling these stories she has dreamed of roaming the skies just like him, and when she was old enough she applied and was accepted into the academy.
Now years later she has finally graduated from the academy and she will finally roam the skies, now she did have a problem, what to do now. After thinking for a while she remembered someone that might have a job for her, the Matari man who used to visit her family home.
After she figured out how to contact him she asked him if he still remembered her, which he did. Hereafter she asked if he had any work for her as she just graduated from the academy and was in need of some work, He replied by saying he indeed had some work, he needed some items moved to the outer region of space he lives in.
The mission ahead looked dangerous and thrilling but she was excited and not afraid to travel to the outer regions of New Eden, even with her limited experience. She accepted the job and requested the instructions from Xeross.
The instructions were as follows: Pick-up a caldari cruiser blueprint. Then deliver this to a station in an outer region, a region she would soon call her home: Cobalt Edge.
Xeross gave her the ISK for a ship that would be up for the job and gave her the blueprint to pick-up. After preparing for the journey ahead she set her navigator to Cobalt Edge and undocked.
With her new merlin, a fast and agile small frigate class vessel she managed to reach Cobalt Edge unharmed. Arriving at the designated station almost an hour after she left she gave the blueprint to the Matari agent and asked him for a new assignment.
After all the trip was long and dangerous, and she did not fancy going back all the way to Empire space. He replied that he and his allies could use some help to fend of rogue drones during their mining operations and that there would always be work for a motivated and reliable pilot like her. Her heart swelled with pride, she agreed to stay.
Resting up after the perilous journey down here , she’ll be increasing her knowledge of the ships she’s expected to fly to aid Xeross and his allies to the best of her abilities.
