Tom takes the mic all by himself for the first time, and he makes it count. He runs down casino tournament strategy from the blackjack tables, makes the case for why he'll always book with a PVP, and walks you through what to expect the moment you hit homeport. Then things turn tender and then chaotic: the moving story of scattering his father's ashes from the Magic, and the time five forgotten rifle rounds turned a routine security check into a full-blown detainment.
