I encountered a new recruit, LH~Kamal.Khan in space near Mactan yesterday. I figured this would be a great opportunity to demonstrate some of our trade interdiction techniques, so we started on patrol. Soon, we encountered the Transport Missing_Mercury. Having a second set of guns was quite useful, we convinced the Mercury that Kamal.Khan had quite the itchy trigger finger, and he was more than happy to pay us. Unfortunately, he transmitted the credits to the wrong account, to my Slipstream that I keep based at Leiden base. Being unable to verify that he transmitted the credits until I had the opportunity to return to Leiden, I made sure that he understood the consequences for crossing us. I then let the trader go and transferred Kamal.Khan his half of the payment.
Later, after an Ion storm disrupted our operations, I chased down a transport named Kathir. Kamal.Khan was a bit too far from my location to assist, and unfortunately the trader escaped as I was making my demand. Overall, exemplary preformance from our new recruit, I look forward to flying with him again.
On a brighter note: When I checked my ship transaction log at Leiden base, the Missing Mercury had indeed transferred payment.
