Never trust your Executive Officer!!

Oct 18 3301, HIP 21991 System

Mining Vessel "The Lady Jane"
Cmdr Jazzy 'Pickle' Rose - Commanding Officer

There we were mining Platinium, Palladium, Ossium, Painite and Gold. Cargo bay just about full of the good stuff and preparing to finalize our mining run, when I am called to a Long range Communique from a fellow Miner in trouble with some pirates (/RP off Had to afk and help the wife. /RP on) My XO takes the helm, then all I hear is Shield depleted and the sound of grating metal against an asteroid.

Running back to the bridge all I see is a huge asteroid staring us down as our ship (Mine-A-Conda) is boosting into it at full speed, I look at my XO and she gives me a smirk and hit he eject handle on her station and is outer here, leaving me to try and recover the ship or follow her footsteps. A quick second and I realize that its futile and hit the eject button as well to join my XO in the cold void awaiting rescue, as my 300 million credit mining ship is obliterated on the asteroid.

Quite some time later deep space salvage and rescue pick us up and return us to Charlois Station at HIP 21991, and I inquire about my insurance on my ship, thankfully I had the payments up to date. Within a few days I have my ship back all shiny and new, but I am now looking for a new XO, I feel the loss of the cargo is enough severance pay for Jasmine Mc'Ginty.

So its back to the void, Solo mining til I can find another partner that I can trust to fly the ship and not use it as a battering ram.

Never ever let your 2 year old daughter stay at the helm when helping the wife, its down right costly! - But I did get sorry cuddles, and that's what counts :)

My XO :

She is looking for a new ship to pilot now, but may need Learners plates on to warn others hehe

I so totally understand what you feel and what happened :) I have a spare XO too, perhaps two of them could form a crew of their own.
 
LOL - I also have a rather short copilot but he's only in charge of engaging supercruise, entering hyperspace, or deploying landing gear! Haven't promoted him to XO status yet :)

Funny- I seem to have a pint-sized XO in charge of the exact same things! Funny how that works with us older commanders, isn't it?
 
Thanks all - jasmine loves space gaming as much as her daddy :)

I have actually re-employed my XO as she was giving me that sad puppy dog look and well, I not going to win with looks like that. But Jasmine has agreed to only navigate when I am at the helm as well (Hmmm still a little concerned about that hehe).

Space was not the same without my little XO. So we headed off to check out Maia system and a Black Hole or two for a bit of exploring (Hmm another concern, hitting rocks is one thing, black holes and interesting un-explored stars...........) Hopefully we shall return to talk about our adventures :)

Fly safe Cmdr's <O
 
Tell her that if she were to cause another accident near a black hole, her ejector system is set to head off towards said black hole. Yours heads off to the nearest planet.
