Probably the same as what I would do when I retire, living in solitude on some remote location in Intaki, studying the Ida faith and hopefully become an Idama. Or if my previous career was any indication, I'd probably continue being a hitman for the Intaki Syndicate until I got a bullet to my head.

My father always wanted a simple life for me. He never wanted me to get into the "family business" of being a mercenary. When he died he was actually working on getting my family a place in a colony in Intaki Syndicate lands. He liked to tell me about all the things I could accomplish with the fresh start he was going to provide us all.

Truth be told, I never wanted that though. I grew up outside of the State so naturally I was drawn to the happenings in more populated regions like The Forge. I fell in love with the entertainment and never really got over it. I always wanted to be a Splinterz operator, though these days I feel like I would make a pretty good Mind Clash player. If I can recreate half the things I see in my dreams then my opponents wouldn't stand a chance.

Hmm.... what would I be doing?

I would've gone deep into the unknown parts of our galaxy and find a remote, out of the way planet and live there in solitude to... think about everything and observe nature.

I'm not sure what I would be doing to be honest, I don't really call myself a mercenary but I get your point, I would perhaps be somewhere on Mehkios, or in the Sarum Prime system working perhaps some industrial job, perhaps security, visiting the great chapels of Sarum Prime, perhaps I would have had time to go on a pilgrimage, or met a woman and raised a family.

Such things are beyond me now and I do not dwell on them.

It was not a profession I chose, it was something I had drifted towards when I ran away from home as a teenager and started living on my own. It's a rather lengthy story.


I was 16 when I ran away from home, and at the time I was really impulsive, impatient and inconsiderate. I believe that I had become what I am right now after I had started taking hitman contracts, it took some, practice to keep yourself unattached and impassionate towards your targets. Right now I'm 32, and judging by my career I'm going to be retiring before I turn 35.

@Denak: Everything happens for a reason I guess. Dying over and over again is extremely tiring and some are...gruesome to say the least.

Yes. She is the reason I am so adamant about the treatment of Matari slaves within the Empire. More than once have I had to deal with those more divergent and brutal slavers, each time they have been relieved of their charges and chave had them passed onto someone more worthy.

I would probably be dead.

I was the first born in a Ni-kuni family with a 2nd brother who wanted control of the family workshop. He tried to kill me before. After that i decided to become a merc. If I wasn't accepted i would probably be dead

Mainly the workshop but of course you know our parents favored me more. He was sometimes yelled at for something i did even if i told my parents other wise. Eventually his hate grew and he put a hit on me. Its funny I am always fighting for isk but when i think about it he probably would of been a savage merc if he was strong enough. Wanting to kill his older brother over the profits from the workshop. I wonder if i would get in trouble if i ever attacked him. To see his face coward from the plasma smashing through the wall next to his head.

I like to think that every person who has ended up lost in wormhole space found themselves in some kind of cosmic lost and found and are all having a tea party or something surrounded by lost races, talking cats, and giant birds with the faces of men.
