I felt I was falling behind on helping fund the Lane Hackers, so I decided to go out and make some credits. Le Chiffre and I met up in the New York system. We waited for a while, and only managed to find one transport. We demanded three million from the guy, which he didn't pay. He claimed to have paid his dues and that he was our friendly. He looked cherry red on my HUD. So we killed him. Surprisingly, he came right back down the trade lane around five minutes later! ... He was empty and obviously suicidal, so after much of his annoyances we told him to get lost. Nearly had to kill him to get him to leave us alone. Sheesh.
Anyway, shortly after that, an ICO Bretonian Gunboat and another ship came down the trade lane. Le Chiffre killed the other ship before I could get a scan, and we started on the gunboat. While we were tearing him a structurally superfluous new behind, all the lights went out and the guns died. We disabled it? Maybe. Shortly after... It vanished into thing air! I saw it with my own eyes!
The other ship we killed decided to ask where we were, so being a good sport I told him. I pretty much knew what he was planning. Bring the biggest ships they can find to try to kill us. So, when we saw them on scanners we took off and eventually jumped to Texas.
We met up with Yorkshire at Beaumont and headed to California. Interestingly enough, these guys had the idea that if they continued to follow us we would fight them. I had to remind our guys that we're not a military force. So... We all ran back to Mactan.
