The Rescue: The Story of Artemiz Entreri

   Hello, Everyone. It's time my story was told. When Kreatus Started this log, he said there is a reason behind the life debt I owe him. I was a Minmatar trader hauling from Rens to Jita. I had a steady job that paid the bills. As I was flying to Jita, a major fight broke out between the Caldari and Gallente along the border zone. Concord deemed it best that I take a new route through Amarr space. Being Minmatar I knew this wouldn't go well. The Amarr have a Special hate for the Minmatar people. They deem us to be "sub-human" and not the people to be friends with. I had a contract to finish on time and I had no choice. I did my best to not look Minmatar but it didn't work out. I was scanned down by an Amarr Slave Party, they were on contract to gather "lost" Minmatar or runaway slaves. I kicked on my tank and began fighting back with my one artillery pair on my ship. It was a futile fight but I'd rather go down fighting than give up. They knew it wouldn't take much to destroy my ship and they didn't want to loose the cargo I had so they took careful shots to slowly wear me down. Just about the time they were about to destroy me, Kreatus came out of nowhere and warped to between myself and the Slavers. He began to take the brunt of the damage and began fighting back. He sent me a message via short-range com pulse saying to warp away and meet him at the sun. I kept track of the fight with my sensors. By the time I had arrived at the sun, Kreatus had already destroyed three of the six Slaver ships. He had only a single Cruiser and two Battlecruisers left. When he had destroyed a Battlecruiser, the rest broke away and disengaged the fight. I waited patiently for his arrival hoping he wasn't going to show up in a pod. He arrived in his trademark, and I must say ironically convenient, Amarr Navy Issue Apocalypse. We began a chat and he offered to escort me to Jita to finish my contract. Of course I accepted the help, I was gonna need it for the five jumps through Amarr space I had left until Caldari space. I told him that in my family that when someone saves a life, the rescued has a life debt to the saver of said person. Kreatus said he would prefer not to but also didn't want to offend my families customs. He said that he would allow it until I had the opportunity to save him from harm. Ever since then, I have been working for a Corp he works with and sending him a share of the money as I make it. I am very grateful for the service he did for me and I will probably continue my work for him even after I save him when the chance arrives. And now you know the story of the life debt.
