A light hearted distraction from the Brewer's Community Goal grind...
During a particular entertaining wing session for those Ferengi traders who want trade dividends... Our discussion swayed to Firefly the classic space drama, and then we dwelled on the JaynesTown episode and mused how one would earn their own folk song...
Cue the actions of one of our wing members playing pirate-hunter and cargo defender in his Corsair, dropping in on our beacons as we would inevitably get interdicted for our tasty Panther Clipper haul...
We came up with a theme-song, courtesy of some fanciful lyrics and remixed it into a bit of a toe-tapper.
We do hope you enjoy the song of the folk-hero Beezo, the Hero of Minerva, "I am the Duke!... A#1!"

Scene:
The Community Goal in Minerva, also known as the Great Panther Money-Grab had many a trader making the treacherous trip from Raksha to the pirate crossed space of Minerva system.
So many pilots fell as interdiction after interdiction claimed their cargo by the infestation of pirates.
A hero was needed, nay, called into being, to right the wrong doings.
The legend of a single Chrome Corsair, bristling with weapons and righteous revenge for the missing ships, and it's pilot CMDR Beezo, now hailed as the Hero of Minerva, flew those star lines and saved many.
The pirates knew his ship's call sign and tried to escape when our hero dropped in on signal...
"Dickey 1!" they cried as static overcame their comms in a flash of laser fire.
"It's DUKE A1!" would be the growled reply.... "Why do they get it wrong all the time? Dammit!"

Song Lyrics: The Hero of Minerva, the CMDR they call Beezo.
[Verse]
Out on the rim where the black runs deep,
There's a man they say the stars can't keep.
He flies through the void, a ship like a ghost,
The commander they call Beezo, who haunts the coast.
[Prechorus]
With a patch on his coat, and a gleam in his eye,
He laughs at the law and the moonlit sky.
[Chorus]
"I am the Duke! A-Number-One!"
Beezo shouts as he outruns the sun.
Minerva's hero, a legend untold,
Flying free through the black and the cold.
[Verse 2]
He’s smuggled his share of whiskey and gold,
Outfoxed the bounty hunters, brave and bold.
But when the settlers cry, he’s first to the fight,
With a six-shooter grin and a heart burning bright.
[Prechorus]
He ain’t no saint, but he’ll do what’s right,
A shadow that shines in the endless night.
[Chorus]
"I am the Duke! - A-Number-One!"
Beezo shouts as he outruns the sun.
Minerva's hero, a legend untold,
Flying free through the black and the cold.
