I was supposed to be the escort today. It was a simple smuggling delivery, you see? Pick up shiny experimental weaponry Here. Fly over there. Get paid.
Turned out the only available Transport was just having its engines completely reconfigured, and the client was waiting. The 7 Million Credit bonus was very alluring, so I agreed instead take the priceless weaponry in my Falchion. Getting them into my hold was tricky, but luckily Phate had a cunning plan: Surround the weaponry by inflatable cargo pods, and perhaps the weaponry would not immediately show up on a random scanner.
There was a slight problem though, the drop-off location was Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta. I had no idea how to get there, but luckly our Transport Pilot was able to guide me.
It also dawned upon me that it was in deep Corsair territory. And I counted quite a few contacts on Long Range. But who would suspect a lone, fragile Light fighter, right?
Nobody, apparantly. The initial Four Corsairs i ran into simply ignored me and flew off. I thankfully slipped past, only to find two Corsairs a jump later. They could not believe their eyes.
''A hacker? Here?''
I can still remember their unbelieving voices. Perhaps they really thought I was an illusion of some sorts, Slugheads.
The rest of the trip was safe. In the end i arrived at Freeport 9 and grabbed me that sweet 7 Million bonus.
Life is good, and i'm INVINCIBLE!

Good evening.
Today we had a clash with the terrorist organization known as the Order. Their presence in the Kansas system was evident to us before, but all they did was the guarding of the artifact, what we always appreciated. But now a pilot of them - Order|Sgt.Chris.Leigh - started to interfere with the extortion of a transport - the Blue Posidon. They claimed that the cargo of the Posidon consists of research material as in samples from different parts of the cloud. As we couldn't agree on even in a sub-standard insurance fee, we decided to take the transport down, despite the diplomatical threats including hostility from the Order and even the NTF.
The fight was ended when we had to realize that the Posidon destroyed it's cargo - what indicates us that they clearly didn't care about the collected and organized samples, what's more, they was acting like the greediest low-down miners who I had the luck to not see since the STF guys gave up the uninsured ore extraction.
Mark those callsigns and take appropriate measures if you read them on scanners. We have no querry with the Order, and I hope my actions wont change that, but we can't tolerate such disrespect towards our methods, even if that means some more organizations considering us hostile.
I hope the rest of the professors will agree with my actions in that matter. Today all our fighters took only minor damage, but it was out of the thorough training our man receive, and not Mr Leigh's and Posidon's lack of willing.

While en route to Galileo with Paco this afternoon we encountered a nefarious Ageira flunky on the comms in California, callsign Black-8. We managed to successfully lure him to the Cortez jump gate and then set about ambushing him.
Quote:Elektra'King: Mr Cloud is it?
Ageira|Black-8: So you want a fight?
Ageira|Black-8: Indeed it is!
Elektra'King: Aww, don't run away, I wanted a chat
Ageira|Black-8: Yes and then attack...
Elektra'King: How are you Cloud?
Elektra'King: I've not spoken to you in weeks
Ageira|Black-8: I'm doing swell
Elektra'King: Do you remember our talk a while back?
Ageira|Black-8: Sorry i don't recall that
Ageira|Black-8: I'm such a busy man..
Elektra'King: Hmmph, guess I didn't make enough of an impression
Elektra'King: Oh hey paco
Paco.Pistols.: Hi Elektra, what's going on

Elektra'King: Huh?
Elektra'King: I think he's a bit crazy
Paco.Pistols.: So Mr.Black ready to exploit your companies account to contribute to a greater cause ?
Paco.Pistols.: Maybe he is short sighted hmm
Ageira|Black-8: Huhmmm that a'm not...
Elektra'King: Not even a little bit?
Paco.Pistols.: Do you see anything trough that yellow cockpit ?
Ageira|Black-8: So paco...
Paco.Pistols.: So Mr.Black ?
Ageira|Black-8: Why should i contribute?
Paco.Pistols.: You own me last paycheck anyway
Ageira|Black-8: Really..
Ageira|Black-8: Only you?
Paco.Pistols.: Really
Elektra'King: Well, not you, but Ageira does.
Paco.Pistols.: Yeah seems your corporate flunkies are...greedy
Ageira|Black-8: Hmm i see
Paco.Pistols.: So I say 1m would be sufficient for my last paycheck
Paco.Pistols.: Being an honest worker and all
Ageira|Black-8: Huhmm ageira not paying hackers!
Paco.Pistols.: Or if you wish we can...
Elektra'King: Extract it from you
Elektra'King: What do you say?
Ageira|Black-8: You know i don't do such a deal!
Paco.Pistols.: Well then I must inform
Elektra'King: Well then it looks like we might just have to damage Ageira property huh Paco?
Paco.Pistols.: Precisely
Elektra'King: Starting with your ship.
Paco.Pistols.: Well let's make them pay for new ship *laughs*
Ageira|Black-8: I think we will repay you that!
In the midst of out melee inside the Cortez Jump Gate, a Navy Lapdog thought it acceptable to fire upon Paco. However, his skill as a pilot seemed limited and he could be ignored for the most part, causing us next to no problems. He even had a bit of trouble operating his comms system when he attempted to call for backup.
Quote:OmeletterSentinel: stop right here!
Elektra'King: This doesnt concern you
OmeletterSentinel: die son of a bithc
OmeletterSentinel: we need your help\
OmeletterSentinel: oops
After a while the flunky's hull had started wearing thin and he made a break for it through the Jump Gate. I continued my pursuit of the Ageira ship through the ice fields of Cortez and once Paco had caught up with me our combined firepower proved too much even for Mr.Cloud; who proved himself to be most proficient in the art of dodging incoming fire.
