Last day, while checking the Colorado system for an unusual traffic surge, I managed to get ahold of an Universal hoodlum - callsign Universe|K.Shine - headed for the New York system with a cargo of Pharmaceuticals. Given the opportunity, I decided to test my mania-interrogation abilities on the hoodlum captain of this Mastodon supertransport. Log found below.
Universe|K.Shine: Hello there! Maximillian.Largo: "Hmph:" Universe|K.Shine: What is it? Maximillian.Largo: "Number 1: Let's have a talk."
Maximillian.Largo: "Number 2: Universal hoodlums like you are the worst shills ever spouted by Liberty." Universe|K.Shine: So where do you prefer to talk? Maximillian.Largo: "Right here." Universe|K.Shine: Allright! Maximillian.Largo: "Where did you get that cargo of yours, and what are your profit margins."
Maximillian.Largo: "And where are you bound to."
Maximillian.Largo: "I want all details." Universe|K.Shine: Starting location: Denver, dilivering location: Planet erie, profit around 3.700.000 credits. Maximillian.Largo: "Yet, your company - Universal Shipping - does take little care of its workers."
Maximillian.Largo: "Even the vessel you fly is a symbol of such." Universe|K.Shine: Correct, we do not want to be see filty. Maximillian.Largo: "I wonder - what interested you in flying under Universal Shipping?" Universe|K.Shine: hmmm thats a good question.
Universe|K.Shine: Well, actually I was been born in kusari and the gouverment there isn't so saying trust able
Universe|K.Shine: So I went off to liberty and I got a job here at the universal shipping
Universe|K.Shine: You know, as life goes. Maximillian.Largo: "Despite the heineous crimes that Universal committed?" Universe|K.Shine: Did I miss something? Maximillian.Largo: "Just to name a few - employee abuse and corruption to name a few."
Maximillian.Largo: "And you fly without even an escort - the budgets must be running low." Universe|K.Shine: Employee abuse is at every big company.
Universe|K.Shine: Escorts are hard these days, as you guys are more expirienced in combat.
Universe|K.Shine: With the Hellfire Legion it even gets harder. Maximillian.Largo: "Intriguing."
Maximillian.Largo: "Your very vessel has been built upon the tears and blood of those abused employees."
Maximillian.Largo: "Employees that aren't treated fairly, as they should be."
Maximillian.Largo: "How you do answer to this?" Universe|K.Shine: *Grabs his notebook* Maximillian.Largo: *taps his fingers on the cockpit dashboard* Universe|K.Shine: Well, I'm not known with what you called abuse, as I do have an own department inside the Universal shipping, and every single
Universe|K.Shine: Employ is under fine conditions, thats the reason why those ships are built well. Maximillian.Largo: "I don't think so. I have intel that has told me otherwise."
Maximillian.Largo: "That told me how poorly your employees are treated." Universe|K.Shine: It must be the other department, as I'm not fimiliar with it.
Universe|K.Shine: Sad to hear, I will report it. Maximillian.Largo: "What happened to your escort services?" Universe|K.Shine: As I said, being shot down by "Your Kind" Maximillian.Largo: "They were only cannon fodder." Universe|K.Shine: It seemed so in the end, but we have to go on ofcourse. Thats what life is right? Maximillian.Largo: "Does your 'department' plan something else aside of hauling?" Universe|K.Shine: Currently no future plans, we are still discussing about it.
Universe|K.Shine: In meantime we would built of alot of reserves. Maximillian.Largo: "Interesting."
Maximillian.Largo: "One last thing: if you would wire a sum of 1.500.000 credits as a donation for the Lane Hackers to my vessel."
Maximillian.Largo: "Then I'll let you go." Universe|K.Shine: I will. Maximillian.Largo: "Cash received. Off you go, weasel." Universe|K.Shine: Kira is the name, Sayonara.
I'll leave the judgement of this - as well as the validity of my extortion for the completition of the Vigilance criteria - to the masterful minds of the Professorship.
That would be all for now.
Salutations,
