[Story][Season 0][WIP] Whistling

[Warringer]

»Whistler Orbital Service? They do a dirty job no one else was willing to do, but without it the flight to Earth an back would be much more dangerous. Its always the small things that are easily overlooked by anyone. Small but important things.«

- overheard in Kandor city

Makes me want to write a segment where someone in the crew writes a mail to Mike Rowe of 'Dirty Jobs' expecting not even to get an answer. Only to get an answer asking when it would be good to come for doing the 'dirty job'. Mike would even get a non-waved russian space suit. :p

What would be the standing of Whistler Orbital Services in Fenspace? In
relations with other factions for example?

That depends on the faction. I suspect Whistler would get along well
with groups that spend a lot of time in Earth orbit, or who travel to
and from Earth on a regular basis - the Trekkies, the Warsies, Hermes
Universal Deliveries, the Blue Blazers, StellviaCorp, and similar
groups. People who don't care whether Earth orbit is clean wouldn't care
about Whistler - the Potterites, the Cyber Confederation, and so
on.

Overall, "cleaning up Earth orbit" is a good thing, so I think the
general reaction to Whistler would be
positive.

Well, they'd also sell salvaged parts to the general fen public. Stuff like 'waved solar panels may be useful.
