Greets fellow miners and defenders of those who mine...and transport. Etc.
Received a distress call from miners in the northern O7 fields, IMG|OreCrusher and IMG|Caleb.Vale[M],
they were being pirated by a Corsair Raba transport, Benitez(CT)-Arana. That's pretty normal I'd say.
Happens all the time, gets fought off all the time. But then, just as that transport ran away a few k, two
Hessians, RoterBaron - a gunboat - and Graf_Gallenstein - a bomber, showed up. They demanded -
not asked for - credits from our miners! Piracy, that's what I call that. And they call themselves
Revolution? Guess some of them have missed the idea of "the free workers"! Our miner paid...
They chased that Corsair to the Omega-5 jumphole and then flew to Freistadt, where two of our transports, IMG|Porcupine and IMG|Wolverine, were waiting. Again they tried pirating us - demanded
even three million credits from those transports! That's when I decided I will not stand by while those
"Revolutionists" rob us!
Helping the revolution is one thing. Hell, I'd even give'm a little donation, but not when they demand it
straight away like this. When the transports flew through Stuttgart, they tried it again, but reminding
them of what happened earlier they let them pass and I returned to Freistadt.
Oh, and yeah, I forgot there was another Corsair around after those pirates were defeated, but a
mercenary decided to have fun with him. Dunno how their fight ended, when I return neither was still
around.
Just thought I should report about this, not that you'd think I just shot Hessians without a reason.
Anyway, I'll be heading to the bar now and then to bed. Guess my shift for today is over.
Good night.
