Good day. Hopefully my patch stays up long enough to finish sending this transmission, as this is my first attempt.
I won my first fight, as a Bactrian, though I was unwillingly forced into the engagement. I was on my way north, towards the Kepler and Gallileo systems to meet with Mr. Largo. On my way through the New York system, I was intercepted while flying on cruise near the centre of the Norfolk/Bush lane. He was not a wordy man.
I tried to flee, but he was intent on a fight, firing cruise disruptors wildly. I lurered my pursuer into the debris field. After a few minutes of combat, the less-than-intelligent naval officer ran like a cowering, frightned dog back to Baltimore Shipyard. I let him leave, he had learned his lesson.
After a while, when I finally made it to Kepler. I had tracked what I had suspected to be a transport of large design. It turned out to be a Navy IFF, Ageira IDed Heavy Tanker, loaded to the brim with Gate/Lane parts.
After I caught him, Mr. Largo caught up. We demanded that he drop his full cargo, and we let him go. Mr. Largo then destroyed the components. No gain in money on our part, but I bet some fat corporate executive'll be getting some heartburn because of that loss..
