Debrief: It's amazing what will pop up if you shake hard enough. Indeed, I caught myself a smuggler. Couldn't stop him from mooring with Rochester, though. On another note, I found myself an informant. Some pirate with a ship called Rut13, of all things. He seemed willing to cooperate and was clearly under coercion by third parties, so I was fairly lenient. Take a gander at this gem of a conversation. Spoiler [12.12.2017 11:10:28] Trader_Miagi: another pirate at coloradu jh [12.12.2017 11:10:36] 6th|Alpha-3: Oh lawdy. [12.12.2017 11:11:06] 6th|Alpha-3: How do you keep finding these guys?

[12.12.2017 11:14:25] Trader_Miagi: thanks [12.12.2017 11:15:39] 6th|Alpha-3: There ain't no pirates here. *he launches from Rochester* [12.12.2017 11:15:52] 6th|Alpha-3: I stand corrected. [12.12.2017 11:16:02] 6th|Alpha-3: So... [12.12.2017 11:16:04] Rut13: Good day [12.12.2017 11:16:27] 6th|Alpha-3: What's up? [12.12.2017 11:16:50] Rut13: Been raiding but not much [12.12.2017 11:16:59] 6th|Alpha-3: Just who have you been raiding? [12.12.2017 11:17:36] Rut13: Some chaps near the trade lane [12.12.2017 11:17:43] 6th|Alpha-3: Any particular chaps? [12.12.2017 11:18:28] Rut13: No big transports, just some small ones that wouldn't hand their cargo over [12.12.2017 11:19:09] 6th|Alpha-3: You have a Heavy Armor Upgrade Mk III. There are certain schools of thought that say a Universal Armor would be better. [12.12.2017 11:19:41] Rut13: am still a pirate in education my good sir [12.12.2017 11:19:47] 6th|Alpha-3: Education? [12.12.2017 11:19:56] 6th|Alpha-3: You don't get a pirate education. You either do, or you don't. [12.12.2017 11:20:02] 6th|Alpha-3: What's so great about piracy anyway? [12.12.2017 11:20:29] Rut13: It feels great when you see a transport come into your disrupted lane [12.12.2017 11:20:39] 6th|Alpha-3: So you do it for the rush? [12.12.2017 11:20:44] 6th|Alpha-3: Hmm... [12.12.2017 11:20:46] Rut13: yeah [12.12.2017 11:21:01] 6th|Alpha-3: Have you considered a career in a more legitimate field? [12.12.2017 11:21:29] 6th|Alpha-3: You can channel that need for exercising power and control in productive ways. [12.12.2017 11:21:36] Rut13: I have yeah as it does seem a bit more interesting but my pirate mates keep insisting I stay [12.12.2017 11:22:00] 6th|Alpha-3: What have your pirate mates done for you? [12.12.2017 11:22:14] 6th|Alpha-3: Right now, it seems they've left you to take the fall for certain misdeeds. [12.12.2017 11:22:35] Rut13: They supplied me with some credits for being an escort [12.12.2017 11:23:08] 6th|Alpha-3: Wait, you're only there... because they gave you money to escort them, and then that somehow turned you to piracy? [12.12.2017 11:23:17] 6th|Alpha-3: I feel like certain steps have been left out. [12.12.2017 11:23:48] Rut13: I met them here in NY on the trade lane near Buffalo [12.12.2017 11:24:02] Rut13: and they'd let me live if I helped them out, even gave me credits for it [12.12.2017 11:24:10] 6th|Alpha-3: Oh, so they threatened you. [12.12.2017 11:24:21] Rut13: You could say yeah [12.12.2017 11:24:26] 6th|Alpha-3: Guess what, it's my turn to threaten you. [12.12.2017 11:24:29] 6th|Alpha-3: *ahem* [12.12.2017 11:24:31] 6th|Alpha-3: I am the law! [12.12.2017 11:24:47] 6th|Alpha-3: Allow me to explain to you the facts of life. [12.12.2017 11:24:58] 6th|Alpha-3: You've been caught in a nasty bit of gang warfare. [12.12.2017 11:25:16] 6th|Alpha-3: The Republic wants to maintain its monopoly on violence, so it hires people like me to do violence. [12.12.2017 11:25:27] Rut13: I see [12.12.2017 11:25:43] 6th|Alpha-3: The end result of this is that people who would do violence against the people who pay the protection fees, or taxes... [12.12.2017 11:25:48] 6th|Alpha-3: Well, they tend to not meet nice ends. [12.12.2017 11:26:06] Rut13: Ah [12.12.2017 11:26:19] 6th|Alpha-3: You're a nice, impressionable person. [12.12.2017 11:26:35] 6th|Alpha-3: Don't throw your life away over a few idiots who threatened you, then failed to stop me from doing the same. [12.12.2017 11:27:34] Rut13: But what would you suggest I do? If I desert I know they'll find me again [12.12.2017 11:27:50] 6th|Alpha-3: Desertion implies leaving an honorable group. [12.12.2017 11:27:56] 6th|Alpha-3: And there is no honor among parasites. [12.12.2017 11:28:09] Rut13: Fair point [12.12.2017 11:28:39] Rut13: Although I am still afraid of what might happen [12.12.2017 11:28:43] 6th|Alpha-3: What I would do is change your identity, and then ask a certain Teresa Brooks for asylum over a communication channel. [12.12.2017 11:29:11] 6th|Alpha-3: You'll be beyond the reach of a lot of people. [12.12.2017 11:29:38] Rut13: Thank you for this [12.12.2017 11:29:40] 6th|Alpha-3: My money's on the pirate gang being on the other side of town, or the system, rather. [12.12.2017 11:30:08] Rut13: I'm not sure how to repay you for your kinds words but [12.12.2017 11:30:09] 6th|Alpha-3: If you take a shuttle off of Rochester, you can use the money they gave you to book a cheap hotel for a couple days until... [12.12.2017 11:30:23] 6th|Alpha-3: Well, the Senior Staff pick you up. [12.12.2017 11:30:53] 6th|Alpha-3: Hey, it's my job to ensure the safety of everyone within Liberty's borders. [12.12.2017 11:31:10] 6th|Alpha-3: Even the unrepentant criminals deserve protection from themselves and the general public in a correctional facility. [12.12.2017 11:31:29] Rut13: I've been escorting this large pirate transport for a few days around NY who's collecting Navy and Citizen pilots [12.12.2017 11:31:37] 6th|Alpha-3: Does he have a name? [12.12.2017 11:31:37] Rut13: Around 1000 of them [12.12.2017 11:31:45] Rut13: Let me check my logs [12.12.2017 11:31:49] 6th|Alpha-3: Thank you kindly. [12.12.2017 11:32:24] Rut13: He was going on about setting up a deal with you Navy lot and threatening to jettison them all into the sun [12.12.2017 11:33:00] Rut13: I don't recall his full name sir [12.12.2017 11:33:01] Rut13: but [12.12.2017 11:33:06] 6th|Alpha-3: What's the name of his ship? [12.12.2017 11:33:41] Rut13: He flies a Serenity transport [12.12.2017 11:33:47] 6th|Alpha-3: Ah, a Brick. [12.12.2017 11:33:55] 6th|Alpha-3: That gives me fond memories. [12.12.2017 11:34:01] Rut13: That's all I know good sir [12.12.2017 11:34:26] 6th|Alpha-3: Well, it's better than nothing. So... random pirate, claims to have a thousand or so innocent, and not-so-innocent people... [12.12.2017 11:35:11] Rut13: Yeah Navy, Royal Marines, Civilian, Bounty Hunters, Polica [12.12.2017 11:35:19] 6th|Alpha-3: Oh, La Marine Royale? [12.12.2017 11:35:26] Rut13: As well yes [12.12.2017 11:35:47] 6th|Alpha-3: Well, now I'd like to meet him, and arrange him getting a few more of those suckers. [12.12.2017 11:36:07] 6th|Alpha-3: Naturally, I'll have to relieve him of his collection of Navy personnel and innocents. [12.12.2017 11:36:39] 6th|Alpha-3: It's my job, after all. [12.12.2017 11:36:50] Rut13: Ah yes [12.12.2017 11:37:09] Rut13: I should probably head over to the other side now [12.12.2017 11:37:14] 6th|Alpha-3: The other side? [12.12.2017 11:37:18] Rut13: Buffalo [12.12.2017 11:37:22] 6th|Alpha-3: That's where the scumbags are at. [12.12.2017 11:37:40] 6th|Alpha-3: Hitch a ride with a Junker. Teresa can't help you if you don't help yourself. [12.12.2017 11:37:53] Rut13: Very well thank you again good sir [12.12.2017 11:38:04] 2017-12-12 11:39:11 SMT Traffic control alert: Rut13 has requested to dock There may have been some Lane Hacker activity, but nothing really worth mentioning. They accomplished all of nothing anyway. [12.12.2017 11:07:51] LH~Mactan.Retaliator: Noooooo [12.12.2017 11:07:56] Death: LH~Mactan.Retaliator was put out of action by LNS-Leutwin (Gun).
