Hey, Kurt here.

First off, I had a little scouting trip into the Edge Worlds. I got as far as Omicron Nu looking for something to catch, but it didn't pan out so well.

Instead of fat smugglers, I found some kind of drone, an Order ship, and then a Liberty Navy patrol. The Liberty ship wouldn't answer my hails. Thought that was strange, since I'm not wanted in Liberty, but if my time in the Rheinwehr is any indication, they probably have orders to shoot everything that moves in that system. So I bailed before it got too heated.

On my way back, I met up with Billy from the RAVE crew. He had a similarly lackluster adventure but was open to teaming up.

[25.02.2023 10:58:09] HRZ~Terpentin: Hello, how's it going?
[25.02.2023 10:58:18] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Hi. Nothing interesting
[25.02.2023 10:58:31] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: keep looking for adventure
[25.02.2023 10:59:00] HRZ~Terpentin: Look long enough, maybe adventure finds you, heh.
[25.02.2023 10:59:20] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Seems like not this morning
[25.02.2023 10:59:44] HRZ~Terpentin: Just got back from the Omicrons, myself. Whole load of nothing.
[25.02.2023 11:00:28] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Yeah. A boring day
[25.02.2023 11:01:30] HRZ~Terpentin: Kurt: Want to team up? Maybe there's something interesting in Bretonia.
[25.02.2023 11:02:37] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Don't think so. Let's look anyway

We set off towards Bretonia and immediately caught a BMF train on his way to Omega-48. Sadly, he was empty, but we still collected a small tax from him. Better than nothing.

[25.02.2023 10:58:09][25.02.2023 11:06:03] HRZ~Terpentin: Well, now.
[25.02.2023 11:06:18] HRZ~Terpentin: Cut your engines, please.
[25.02.2023 11:06:28] BMF|Eddystone: Ok sir
[25.02.2023 11:06:44] HRZ~Terpentin: Where are you headed?
[25.02.2023 11:07:02] BMF|Eddystone: I am heading to Omega 48.
[25.02.2023 11:07:53] HRZ~Terpentin: Alright, well, there's a small shipping fee for passing through our territory.
[25.02.2023 11:08:04] HRZ~Terpentin: Gotta make sure you're safe, and all.
[25.02.2023 11:08:14] HRZ~Terpentin: How about 2 million?
[25.02.2023 11:08:17] BMF|Eddystone: I am sure we can arrange a fair agreement
[25.02.2023 11:08:28] BMF|Eddystone: Very well
[25.02.2023 11:08:54] [2023-02-25] 11:08:52 You have received 2.000.000 credits from BMF|Eddystone
[25.02.2023 11:09:11] HRZ~Terpentin: Much obliged. Carry on.
[25.02.2023 11:09:21] BMF|Eddystone: The credits transfer is completed
[25.02.2023 11:09:26] [2023-02-25] 11:09:24 You have sent 1.000.000 credits to RAVE~Hornbreaker.
[25.02.2023 11:09:36] HRZ~Terpentin: Good luck out there.

We roamed around in Cambridge and New London for a bit - seems BAF are too busy stirring things up in the Taus. Still, we didn't find anything else worth noting.

On our way back though, we got intercepted by a BMF corporate security ship in Omega-3. Seems our earlier catch snitched on us - but no matter. We taught him a lesson and made it back to Ithaca safely.

[25.02.2023 11:37:54] HRZ~Terpentin: Hello there.
[25.02.2023 11:38:06] BMF|Lance-1: Bastards!
[25.02.2023 11:38:11] HRZ~Terpentin: What?
[25.02.2023 11:38:17] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Shut up
[25.02.2023 11:38:26] HRZ~Terpentin: We've never even met, and you're calling names?
[25.02.2023 11:38:27] BMF|Lance-1: The news about you made it all the way to my boss.
[25.02.2023 11:38:40] BMF|Lance-1: I had to scramble mid tea!
[25.02.2023 11:38:44] HRZ~Terpentin: Ah, well. Good news, I hope?
[25.02.2023 11:38:49] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Cool. Get lost now
[25.02.2023 11:38:59] BMF|Lance-1: No, you don't get it.
[25.02.2023 11:39:16] BMF|Lance-1: Don't waste my time and get the fuck out of here.
[25.02.2023 11:39:21] HRZ~Terpentin: We've prevented your transport from getting lost in the nebula, you know. Where's our tea and a 'thank you' note?
[25.02.2023 11:39:39] BMF|Lance-1: Shut up, I'm in a bad mood.
[25.02.2023 11:39:46] BMF|Lance-1: because of you!
[25.02.2023 11:39:52] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: If you won't stop circling around, I'll cut you down
[25.02.2023 11:39:54] HRZ~Terpentin: What did I ever do to you?
[25.02.2023 11:39:56] BMF|Lance-1: Now, I count to 10
[25.02.2023 11:40:05] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: I count to 1
[25.02.2023 11:40:09] BMF|Lance-1: Right
[25.02.2023 11:40:09] RAVE~Hornbreaker: Billy: Die
[25.02.2023 11:40:16] HRZ~Terpentin: Attack vector laid in.
[25.02.2023 11:56:36] Death: BMF|Lance-1 was put out of action by HRZ~Terpentin (Mine).

These RAVE guys are pretty good pilots. We should fly with them more often - and any other crews who aren't too stuck up to work with us.

That's it for now. Kurt out.

End of transmission.
