Yesterday was quite a busy day, so in the interests of brevity, I will not report everything that transpired.
First off, Phate and I formed up with a Rogue, Jim Black in order to destroy Dipsy, a Bounty Hunter Destroyer. Dipsy fled from California to the New York system, where we engaged him after disrupting his trade lane. Initially, the destroyer fired on Phate, however when his vessel was nearing destruction, he started targeting me, assuming my Scimitar would be an easier kill. The end result: 1 BH Destroyer experienced hull discombobulation, no friendly losses. Dipsy Dipsy Dipsy
Later, while preparing for a minor raid on Detroit Munitions, Phate and I encountered a Junker Prison Liner, Otsego's Luxuria, who filled our holds with Cardamine. As a side note, after speaking with the Luxuria, I discovered that he is operating a pleasure yacht of sorts. The vessel is also selling Cardamine at reduced rates, in case any Hackers need their Cardi fix. Anyway, after we filled our holds with Cardamine, we moved to Detroit Munitions. Numerous Ageira drones were destroyed, however, all good things must come to an end, and eventually the Navy, Police, and Bounty Hunters showed up. We departed before things could get messy.
Back in the California system, we hooked up with two other vessels to intercept the trader Gallofree. He quickly crumbled and paid out two million credits, which works out to 500 000 per allied vessel. Gallofree Gallofree Gallofree
Our crowning acheivement for the evening was our interception of John Stanton, flying an Interspace Whale, full of Luxury food. Fleeing to Los Angeles, Mr. Stanton tried to hide in the shadow of the Battleship Yukon, but even that didn't save him from our guns. Experiencing hull breaches across multiple decks, Mr. Stanton was quickly convinced that it was within his best interests to follow us. With Phate flying ahead, and myself guarding the rear, we escorted Mr. Stanton to the abandoned jump gate in the Magellan sector. Phate went to retrieve a cargo vessel, while I remained behind to guard the Interspace ship. We then took as much cargo as we could carry, and let Mr. Stanton return to Freeport 4 for repairs.

Oddly, while we were dealing with Mr. Stanton, a trader-chambers dropped off a load of 2600 slaves for us. Not wanting to let such a vast amount of people asphyxiate in space, we transferred those slaves to another cargo vessel. After landing my fighter, I took command of the cargo vessel, preparing to fly the slaves to Planet Malta, to work the Cardamine fields. Also, I took on a load of 880 Bounty Hunter pilots from the interrogation vessels. After the mania interrogation procedure, they were of no more use to us, so they were transferred to the Molly facilities at Arranmore, bringing us a tidy profit as well.
Trade Run Profits - 19 360 000 credits for 880 Bounty Hunter pilots, 6 011 200 credits for 2600 slaves.
Quite the day for the Lane Hackers, I'm sure the corporate flunkies will be trembling in fear once they hear of the days events.
