That was hell of a night out there. We were out on patrol of Magellan with Mr Zokas and Mr Olds as usual. We realized that a gallic council convoy travels trough California. We saw them yesterday also, but we only could cach an ecort of them for a little chat until the LPI arrived. We even suspected it was a diplomatic mission. Well, today we intended to find out, so we were on a hurry.
It turned out that they were the Duponts, and the only thing they were up to is transporting a huge amount of tobacco to the DSE. To be precise it was two full Vache-class train with an escort. One of them payed almost instantly but the other kept insulting us until finaly the LPI came.

(Please note that it seems that Council members showing if they fly a transport in their tags.)
As I were in a freighter I left first, followed by Mr Zokas as Mr Olds was keeping our backs safe. On the way home I've encountered a Planetform lackey in a transport. I stopped him while shouting for assistance in comms. As he saw my cheap freighter he decicded instantly to not pay without a fight. He would have no chance if I'd cach him prepared but I was already out of shield batteries. That way it would have been a real two-chanced shooting, unfortunately (for him) the guys arrived before I gave up.

Sorry for not having all the spectacular images, looks my recorder got garbled a bit. But i have the comm-logs. So after sending everyones share I realized that I just made enough cash to pay back my debt to Mr Phate. And I was only away from Mactan for an hour.

And this one for Miss Moon. Umm. Hey there... How is the experiment going? I did not want to disturb you in that lab. I was just wondering if you'd need a test subject more sentinent than bottle-cats and bacteria. Or maybe some substances that are more entertaining to study? Well I guess cardi rules, but it's certainly not the best fun. It's too serious. How about gin-tonic for example? Or anything else you could wish? You'd be surprized how resourceful can one be out here in the Barrier.
