I quite like how Sket isn’t evil, you can see what leads to each decisions he makes. he’s loyal to his captain and he has seems to care about our protagonist. Most of his negative actions seem to come from a somewhat understandable set of values and morals, except the whole murder thing but even our protagonist dabbled in that.
id like to imagine this song is a prequel to julia ecklars "ballad of a spaceman"; as the main character in that song happens to be an engineer who was ordered to push his ship to the limit, resulting in broken plates and a doomed ship ruclips.net/video/n8cCDoDYgc0/видео.html&ab_channel=weyrdmusicman
I once came across a Danish farmer, living as a rancher in an African savanna. He was from the same little island as my grandmother, so my father and him became fast friends. He told us he'd left Europe to avoid the EU, and made a new life for himself out there. Except when we visited that quaint little island a few years later, and happened to mention his name in the local bar, the whole place became suddenly quiet. As it turned out, it was less the EU, and more his many debts that farmer had fled. Last I heard, he'd packed up and left for New Zealand, selling off his herd a few weeks before the government came to confiscate it (for completely unrelated reasons to his Danish debts, as it happens). Point is, you can skip out on your debts easily enough by just moving a continent away. Going out to the rim and staying on the move with a tightlipped crew seems like it would likely work.
@@gnaskar SF author Lester del Rey told a story about how his grandfather had been a genuine Spanish grandee who had one day been visited by three priests of the Inquisition. Grandpa and his retainers had departed from Spain in great haste, leaving the three priests hanging from a tree. You have to wonder just what the old man was up to that he gave up his land and his house and his social standing to nick off for the New World like that.

"There is no such thing as an unarmed spaceship." -- Isaac Arthur
The songs that have stories like this in them are my favorites
For sure. Lets you dream
That pilots' duel was epic.

Ah, yes, the first rule of warfare.
This was a whole ass novel
I think this is my new favorite song
Beautiful storytelling.
This one is a 10/10
When a ship lifts, all bills are paid. No regrets.
TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE
