Now for some not so good news. Enroute from Sigma-13 to New Berlin, in Frankfurt system, with cargo of bio-neural processors and H-fuel, The Wayfarer was thrown off the lane some 10k from the Frankfurt-New Berlin system. My first thought was - 'won't these Rheinlanders stop fighting among themselves finaly', but alas - this was not the case. It so happens that the lane disruption was caused by a pirate in a Big Dragon transport ship, with callsign "]MW["-Muramasa". The fella the proceeded with swift demands - for all of my cargo no less. All attempts to discourage him - up to and including a substantial bribe - proved fruitless.

Considering that I had a contract to carry on, and the relative proximity of the gate, I then decided to take the risk and went for it. The pirate opened fire immediately, and my ship took quite the beating. Praise Ifny though - we managed to reach the gate just in time.

My thanks for the repair crews on New Berlin Planet - they patched us good enough for me to finish the run and three more. The Wayfarer though is not what you'll call shipshape at the moment - I may need to move her to Erie for some serious work.

Here are scans of the pirate vessel :

This is the first fella I meet brave enough /or stupid enough/ to try and pirate me - and I have been to way more dangerous places. I really want his skin, oh I really do. Maybe we should also inform our fellow Zoners about that one - though I am almost certain I am not the first Zoner he takes on.

That is all for now. More to come later.
