Allo, Lads, Jimmy 'ere. After yesterday's exciting, yet rather dangerous run to Leeds and Back, I decided I'll take it slow. I hoped into my Firefly and went to load up some gold ore to Skye. I sold it in New Berlin, but sadly none of the bases I know in that systam had what I wanted for my route back, so I loaded a bunch of aluminium and diamonds, sold diamonds on Manhattan, filled the rest of my cargo bay with ale and went to New London, where I sold it all.
Shortly after a message came that some poor lad from IMG was attacked, so I hopped in my little Sidhe and went to him. I came too late, but I at least escorted him to his destination.
Knowing that my Light Fighter would probably be not much of a help in a fight anyway, I sold him and bought myself a Sutinga. I kept the name. I like it.
After some time of wandering around New York and getting used to my new ship, I came across a transport captain who was rather frustraded. Apparently, he was pirated four times just today, so I offered him an escort. After I assured him that I won't require payment If he get pirated again, he accepted the deal and we set out to Stuttgart. The trip went well, we run into some Hessians, but they just flew by us like a madman and left us alone.
On our way back to New York, the Captain managed to get a quick scan of some transport ship, and we didn't believe what he saw. It was full of slaves! The Captain luckilly managed to get the name of that ship. Don't know if we want and can do something about it, but i thought I mention it. When we arrived to Manhattan he paid me my reward and threw some more as a bonus.
And then I did a rather stupid mistake. Some guys with Legion IFF started fighting with Navy Battle Ship near Manhattan. The BS called for help and since they were dangerously close to the planet I tried to help so they don't put locals in danger. So much for taking it slow. I guess I should learn more about ships, cause I seriously underestimated what those Legion guys could do... or perhaps overestimated the BS... but they ripped her to pieces and then turned on me. Guess they didn't like those mines I dropped at their noses. I managed to fly 40K clicks just on thruster and impulse, evading shots and missiles and swearing more than a drunken scotsman whose bottle went dry. Serves me right, I should know better than to help Navy...
Well, I managed to stay alive and keep Sidhe more or less in one piece, so I guess it's good.
