I was supposed to be the escort today. It was a simple smuggling delivery, you see? Pick up shiny experimental weaponry Here. Fly over there. Get paid.
Turned out the only available Transport was just having its engines completely reconfigured, and the client was waiting. The 7 Million Credit bonus was very alluring, so I agreed instead take the priceless weaponry in my Falchion. Getting them into my hold was tricky, but luckily Phate had a cunning plan: Surround the weaponry by inflatable cargo pods, and perhaps the weaponry would not immediately show up on a random scanner.
There was a slight problem though, the drop-off location was Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta. I had no idea how to get there, but luckly our Transport Pilot was able to guide me.
It also dawned upon me that it was in deep Corsair territory. And I counted quite a few contacts on Long Range. But who would suspect a lone, fragile Light fighter, right?
Nobody, apparantly. The initial Four Corsairs i ran into simply ignored me and flew off. I thankfully slipped past, only to find two Corsairs a jump later. They could not believe their eyes.
''A hacker? Here?''
I can still remember their unbelieving voices. Perhaps they really thought I was an illusion of some sorts, Slugheads.
The rest of the trip was safe. In the end i arrived at Freeport 9 and grabbed me that sweet 7 Million bonus.
Life is good, and i'm INVINCIBLE!
