Having destroyed all known Bounty Hunter Weapon Platforms near Mactan, I set out for the California system. By the time I reached the Jump Gate to California, I found my target: a Titanic-class transport full of copper ore flying an IMG IFF, tagged as [CBM]. I followed and after it went through the gate, I got in front of it and we entered the trade lane. Fortunately, our brothers received my message and killed the trade lane half way to Planet Los Angeles. After informing the commanding officer of the impending explosive decompression of his bridge, I offered my services for two million sirius credits. He offered 1.2, I counteroffered 1.4, which he found agreeable. He transferred the credits to my enumerated input account, and through to my own after they were funneled through various accounts. I then docked at Alcatraz and retired for the night.
That morning after excercising in the asteroid field, I made my way to the trade lanes between Planet Mojave and the New York Jump Gate. Within a minute of arriving, a Zoner Whale flying the Zoner IFF tagged as Omicron Supply Industries dropped out at my hacked lane. My facial muscles contracted to reveal a smile over a kilometer wide. Zoner Whales are unarmed, I thought to myself. After demanding 2,500,000 credits from him to prevent his ship exploding, he offered three fifths that on the condition that I escort him to his destination. I accepted his offer on the condition that he pay an escort fee, and we went underway to Bethlehem Base in Pennsylvania. He then paid the 6,500,000 total credits due, and I departed. Just before entering the trade lane out, a Vigilante Eagle dropped out. Knowing there was no way I could be the victor, I took my leave. I write this from Niverton Base in Pennsylvania. I will soon be upgrading to a Bactrian freighter.
After returning to California, I ran into a Firefly transport. I demanded 1.5 million, he misheard and paid 500 thousand. I corrected his mistake, and he immediately opened fire. I managed to eject, and was picked up by a friendly patrol. The $500,000 was maintained.
