I’m back with a report about my latests activities…
Yesterday I think it was about 6 p.m. I was waiting at the Lane for pilots to come past me… as always… and I already had a few glasses of that tasty rum I bought earlier.
It took some time until someone showed up on my scanners and I quickly disrupted the line and …
scanning the ship coming up to me
Pilot Rebecca Kamensky – Freelancer – flying a Very Heavy Figther
Stefan Steinar:Wihaaa becci freeze Rebecca: ok stopped my engine Stefan Steinar: nice so what are you doing here? Rebecca: well freelancer stuff I think, flying around and so Stefan Steinar: I see *drinking rum* … have you seen some traders here lately? Rebecca: yes and no, I’m looking for a guy flying a train as he didn’t paid the miner who loaded with ore Stefan Steinar: WHAT? He fooled a guy who helped him earn lots of credits? Rebecca: yea, and I’m getting paid by the IMG miner to collect this dept Stefan Steinar: I see you know his name don’t you? Rebecca: it was something …duck…
looking at the scanners – checking if this guy is still around
Stefan Steinar: have you seen where he went? Rebecca: I know he went for the Cambridge system and I think he’ll be coming back this way sooner or later Stefan Steinar: sounds good to me… Wihaaa I’ll make him pay as soon as he shows up Rebecca: considering that your flying a bomber you can make him pay way easier than I could Stefan Steinar: your right about that honey and trust me he will pay one or the other way *drinking rum* Rebecca: Stefan, are you always drinking alcohol during your ‘work’ Stefan Steinar: I do *grins*
some time went by and I was speaking with Becci about having a few drinks after we made that cheater pay
Rebecca: someone’s coming Stefan Stefan Steinar: uh yea Wihaaa
activating cloak – waiting for the ship to get closer – dropping cloak right in front of him – scanning his ship – identifying him as the guy we are looking for
Rebecca: stop right there pilot Stefan Steinar:Wihaaa becci is right cut your engine right now
Transport Pilot: whats going on here? Rebecca: I was sent here by an angry IMG miner who wasn’t paid by you
Transport Pilot: that’s not true I gave him the credits he wanted Rebecca: obviously you haven’t otherwise I wouldn’t be here Stefan Steinar: well there’s another thing buddy… I need you to pay a fee for letting you pass through anyway
Transport Pilot: what are you thinking about Stefan? Stefan Steinar: I want you to pay 5 million credits for allowing you to go on Rebecca: and what about the miner on Freiburg Station now? Stefan Steinar:Wihaaai dont care *drinking rum*
Transport Pilot: ok sounds fair I’m going to pay you Stefan Rebecca: I should have known… Stefan Steinar: great choice, don’t worry becci
seconds later – 5 million credits more are showing up at my bank account
Stefan Steinar: thanks for the fee buddy Wihaaa
Transport Pilot: so I’m good to go now? Rebecca: *looks angry towards me* Stefan Steinar: your not pilot… there’s one more thing
Transport Pilot: and what? Rebecca: yeah what your planning to do now? Stefan Steinar: now… I want you to pay 2 more millions to becci for the miner you fooled Rebecca: *smiles and likes the way I work*
Transport Pilot: no I can’t do that… Stefan Steinar: oh trust me you will *getting angry* Rebecca: Stefan’s got a point there
Transport Pilot: I guess I got no choice right Stefan Steinar: right Wihaaa
Transport Pilot: is there nothing else i could do? Rebecca: you could follow me to Freistadt Base to speak with the miner and me personally
Transport Pilot: I’ll take this option ok Stefan Steinar: you got this becci? Or do you need help? Rebecca: I got him Stefan, but thanks for the offer
Transport Pilot: go becci I follow you Stefan Steinar: don’t fool her or I will find you buddy Rebecca: *moving towards the first way point*
Transport Pilot: following you now *starts engine and goes after becci* Stefan Steinar: till then becci, see you at the bar Wihaaa Rebecca: see you Stefan *waving*
After they both left I went back to Freeport 1 to wait for her at the bar. She showed up later this evenning and we had much fun and many drinks. As she got tired we went to bed and on the next morning she went back home.
I got up later and decided to go on vacation as I had been working quite hard the last days. I was looking at the Orbital Spa & Cruise channel what the are offering right now and after looking through many offers I found something I loved immediately.
I contacted them and a very nice lady told me that they will pick me up tomorrow morning for this one week relaxing trip Cayman.
This was done and so I began to get my bags ready...
For the next days Sirius will be a bit safer as I won’t be around, but… when I return my work as a pirate will continue…Wihaaa
And i also hope to meet becci again... i like her she's cute and fun... ...
Greetings from your very special rum-drinking-‘friend’ Stefan Steinar Wihaaaaaaa **ending connection… …**
I had a very nice trip with the guys from Orbital Spa & Cruise. We went all the the way up to Nagano and I saw beautiful planets, gas clouds and lava fields on our way back to Baden-Baden.
Sometimes I got quite boring, but the bar had good rum and so this problem was also solved. Wihaaaaaaa
Everyone was very polite and had good behaviour which wasn’t so easy for me sometimes as I wanted to have fun too not only relaxing at the Spa. But there was no nightclub or some like that anywhere close to the ship or inside.
It was great, I feel great and now I’m looking forward go to work again today.
So hope you don’t meet me im space. Wihaaaaaaa
Greetings from your very special rum-drinking-‘friend’ Stefan Steinar Wihaaaaaaa **ending connection… …**
Well, after I went back to work I had a few nice encounters. Encounters which were great of my bank account of course. As I needed a check for my 4 Ahriman guns as they weren’t working they way they should and engineers don’t work for free so I really needed the credits of some guys… and… I also ran out of rum…
This is what happened…
I just undocked at Freeport and set course towards the Tradelane to the Cambridge Jumpgate as I saw a transport arriving at FP 1. Quickly I docked at the Lane to get in position to pirate him and seconds after I was prepared to work he showed up…
* I disrupted the Lane and quickly scanned my target to see who that is *
Stefan Steinar:Wihaaaaaaa stop your engines alyssa and dont try to run Stefan Steinar: I need you to pay me for letting you go in peace Transport Pilot: yes? Stefan Steinar: what? havent you heard me? I’m demanding your credits Transport Pilot: and how much do you want me to pay? Stefan Steinar: I want 2 millions *drinking rum* Transport Pilot: uh that’s much what do you need it for? Stefan Steinar: I need more rum and you will pay it… Wihaaaaaaa Transport Pilot: your flying around being drunk? Stefan Steinar: no I need it to stay focused Wihaaaaaaa Transport Pilot: rum gets you focused? Never heard that before Stefan Steinar: that’s how it is and now I want my credits
* firing towards her with my Asuras *
Transport Pilot: stop don’t shoot me give me a second Stefan Steinar: ok hurry up there’s more work for me today I think Transport Pilot: you call that work? Stefan Steinar: it is work Transport Pilot: money sent can I go now?
* 2 million credits show up at my account *
Stefan Steinar: thanks honey Wihaaaaaaa you can go now and I can drink *drinking rum* Transport Pilot: bye Stefan Steinar: see you Transport Pilot: I hope we won’t Stefan Steinar: we will trust me Wihaaaaaaa
* she left using the Tradlane and I stay to wait for the next one *
Happy about the credits I earned I waited and calculated how much credits I would need for the engineers to check my guns. It took some time, but when I was done I knew that a would need about 3,65 millon credits for that check.
And so I decided to stay in space and collect more credits. I was flying up and down beside the lane waiting for my scanners to show some other pilots. It took quite a while until a guy showed up who just entered the system coming from Cambridge and as he docked at the Lane leading to Freeport 1 I disrupted the connection and waited for him.
* I scanned his vessel – a Bretonia train carrying robotics – standart components and no armor *
Stefan Steinar:Wihaaaaaaa Stefan Steinar: stop right their pilot and don’t even think of running away Train Pilot: who are you I don’t want to stop im in a hurry Stefan Steinar: well I got needs as well and I don’t care about you I only care about ME Train Pilot: what if I don’t stop Stefan Steinar: oh… you want to know what happens then… ill kill you its that easy *drinking rum* Train Pilot: oh ok so its better for me to stop
* he stopped and turned towards me *
Stefan Steinar: as your standing now… I want 2 million credits from you right now Wihaaaaaaa Train Pilot: what for? Stefan Steinar: for me, my rum and for keeping my weapons offline Train Pilot: rum? Are you an alcoholic? Stefan Steinar: yes I guess so, but don’t think im to drunk to fight I’d kill you – trust me Train Pilot: I believe you can I leave if I pay? Stefan Steinar: sure I wont harm you if you follow my demand
* message shows up saying that my bank account just received 2.000.000 credits *
Stefan Steinar: thank you Wihaaaaaaa Train Pilot: yea… bye Stefan Steinar: hey don’t be upset it could had been worse
* he starts his engines and leaves without saying anything else *
Stefan Steinar: I got your name … will meet again *drinking rum and being angry about his behaviour*
After this meeting I went back to Freeport 1 using the Lane. As I arrived at my destination I saw someone coming closer… it was Alyssa again. I opened a channel asking her if she wants to join me at the bar. But she refused has she had to make a urgent delivery and so I went there for a few more drinks.
After a few hours there I went to my flat and got to sleep. As I was to drunk to check my massages I noted it for tomorrow so I don’t miss anything.
Greetings from your very special rum-drinking-‘friend’ Stefan Steinar Wihaaaaaaa **ending connection… …**
The reason I’m hiring you is simple, there is too much bureaucracy when I am sending a enquiry to the administration of the military or the intelligent service.
Sure, let’s meet on Freeport 1, I pass this station often. I think I know the right present for you.
Oh come on, no guns? That hurts my soul. We can have a beer in the right and a glass of rum in the left hand, then nobody can draw his gun. But anyway, no problems with a gun free meeting, the only thing I can’t leave in the ship is my sword, if you see something old fashioned as a weapon. It was a present from a Kusari friend a long time ago, and it was already helpful when the ammunition was finished in some ground fights.
And as I got new sensors now, I’m able to transmit messages from nearly every sector. This battleship sensors where really expensive, but absolutely worth it. At the moment they are eating to much energy from the power core, but the technicians are already working on that problem.
Wihaaaaaaa
So Loki this is why your hiring me… I finally understand your point now, but why didn’t you tell me that earlier?
I hereby invite you to join me at the bar at FP 1 at 1 p.m. today to discuss further details like my reward, the duration of the mission and anything else.
I expect you to be on time
If I like you and everything sounds ok I will be avaiable for you everytime you need me – as long as I earn enough of course. Wihaaaaaaa
See you later today.

Subject: Meeting at the Bar Participants Stefan Steinar & Loki Asentreu
* loading summary *
Loki informed Stefan about the details of the mission he has offered. He told him that the basic payment will be 5 million credits at the beginning of the mission and that he will get 1 million credits for every killed pilot with an IMG ID. Within this week Stefan will also be allowed to operate alone and he will be paid for every kill as long as he deliveres the evidence of every destructed vessel.
The mission will start on the 21th of march 822 A.S. and will last one week. The area of operation was set to be the Omegas, Stuttgart and Cambridge. In case a pilot is trying to escape the attacker is allowed to expand the zone of operation without limits.
After everything was discussed Loki handed a long wooden box to Stefan and said that this is a special present as he asked for something unique. Stefan opened the box and took out the sword that was stored inside. Loki told him that this is a bastard sword made by the best smith in Rheinland adding that this is a unique sword and there is no other that even looks the same. He went on telling Stefan about the benefits and as he was done Stefan thanked him and they agreed to meet here again on Saturday to start their mission together.
Both men left afterwards and Loki went to his space craft to leave the sector as he had to scout the Omega 5 system today.
Stefan went to his room and thought about how he could carry his new weapon without having trouble or hurting himself.
* end of summary *
Greetings from your very special rum-drinking-‘friend’ Stefan Steinar Wihaaaaaaa **ending connection… …**
Im now back in my flat at Freeport and I got some ‘real’ work now as I accepted the offer that Loki made. I just came back from the equipment dealer where I bought a shoulder harness with a magnet on it so I can carry my bastard sword on my back. I’d been standing in front of my mirror and I got to admit that such a sword looks pretty fearsome eventhough it’s oldfashioned.
I really don’t know how my work with Loki will be then, but I’m looking forward to it and I’m able to earn a lot of credits as well. Being supported by a cruiser will also give me a huge advantage in combat.
I got to go now as I’m meeting the engineers now so they can check my 4 Ahriman’s who are not working at a 100% by now.
But… I’ll be back soon… in space Wihaaaaaaa
Greetings from your very special rum-drinking-‘friend’ Stefan Steinar Wihaaaaaaa **ending connection… …**
So im working alone again as the week was over and this Sunday could bring up new things maybe. I got up early and set course to fly to Gran Canaria to visite a friend of mine who is making the best rum – which I am drinking all the time.
Flying there was nice and nothing happened. I docked at the planet and after having a great conversation with him I took as much rum with me as he had – as always. After lunch I left to go back to Omega-3 to do some pirate work. After I jumped to Omega-47 I saw a train flying infront of me todwars the Corsair base and went after him. I reached him just outside the base and contacted him after I scanned him showing me that he is a train pilot for the Corsairs.
He answered me asking what I want from him and I replied that I am looking for someone to pirate. After I asked him if he had seen any targets around here and after drinking a bit of my rum he told me that he havent seen anything so far, but he sees that I got a lot of rum with my. The captain asked if I would sell some of that good stuff. I had to explain that this is unique rum made by a friend of mine and it’s usually not up for sale. I kinda liked him and he seemed to be a cool guy so I offered him to buy some rum, but it could get very very expensive. He wanted to know how expensive and I asked him to take a seat as that would be better… then I told him that I would sell a bottle for 100.000 credits.
He began to laugh saying that that is reaaaaally expensive, but I made him curious and he still wanted to buy some rum. After a short negotiation I sold 20 bottles earning 2 million credits. Seconds later one of his crew members showed up on the display handing him 3 bottles. Quickly I told him to take it easy and that he shouldn’t drink more than half a bottle a day as this rum is very strong.
glug… glug… glug…
The captain just drank a lot of rum from the first bottle and confirmed that the rum is really special and he will drink more of that good stuff now. I advised that this is no good idea as he will get drunk real fast if he contiunes drinking at this speed. Meanwhile I also drank a bit, but I’m already used to it.
We were speaking about the station here and he told me some great things about it. Time went by and he opened the second bottle.
glug… glug… glug…’hic’
He suddenly shouted ‘great shit’ and I told him again to take it easy as he wouldn’t be able to command his ship if he goes on like that. He didn’t listen and as he wanted to proof that he is still able to command the stood up and tried to stand on one leg. That worked… for a second… he fell and his head hit the floor. Tears went into my eyes as I was laughing so hard – it was just too funny. He stood up and said that the floor can’t stop him at all. He was sitting in his chair again and told me that if I would say some like that again he would throw rocks on me. I drank some rum again and wanted to know if he has to do some more work today as his ship wouldn’t be flying in a straigth line any more.
boom… glas breaks…
The train captain asked me if he hit me as he just threw a rock on me. I was confused and said no. He looked around – saw his broken screen and screamed towards it why the hell it breaks when hit by a rock. I was just wondering about his behaviour as I saw that he was drinking again. I asked where his next destination was as I would help him get there.
He set course and flew towards the Omega-49 Jumphole… until he hit a rock. He stopped asking me why there are rocks in an asteroid field and went on flying like a snake moves. I followed him till we were standing in front of the Jumphole – where he forgot to dock due to his condition he was in at that time. In Omega-49 we went toward Gran Canaria and as we got closer I had to tell him to stop as he was flying towards the planet without looking. Totally drunk by now he thanked me for that hint and threw a rock onto the autopilot punishing him for his bad behavior.
By that time I really wondered where the hell he got all those stones from and laughed again. Seconds later he stood up again and wanted to show me how great he can stand on one leg – he failed of course and fell on his butt. He said that the floor will regret his behaviour… at that moment a crew member came in and told him that they are ready to dock.
He went to the console and pushed some buttons – I registered that he just sent me over 4 million credits and asked what he just did. He replied that he doesn’t know and care drinking more rum.
I said that he should go to sleep now as this would help him getting better. He nodded and told me that I’m a real friend – then he docked and was gone…
I turned and went towards Freeport again… I reached Freeport hours later without any problems and as I already had a great day so far I took the rest of the day off and went to my flat to relax. I had no new messages and so I went to bed early today.

So my next report is coming now… *drinking rum*
I was just flying around with another pirate flying a PTrain. We were on our way back to Omega-3 as another pirate came up to us asking what we were doing here as he haven’t seen our ID yet, but we did.
After he scanned us he apologyzed and I asked him to join us to become a bigger and more powerful group here. He agreed and so we had a team of 3 pirates right in Omega-3.
After about 10 minutes waiting a train came up and we kicked him out of the Lane. I went closer scanning him and making my demand. I told him that I want him to pay 9 million credits making it 3 millions for everyone of us. He was smart and paid after stating that he got no real choice right here and afterwards we let him go.
We were happy for the credits and we kept on waiting for more guys to come up. After waiting quite a while another transport came up. I contacted him asking him to stop and not even try to run away, but he did and there was also no answer from him. After a few more tries to stop him using my Cruise Disruptor and giving him a chance to stop and reply we decided to engage him. He was just running away and all three of us were hunting him down.
Moment before we blew him up a Bretonian Battleship came up ordering us to stop, but seconds later our target exploded. The Battleship started hunting us and we went towards Freeport to get away alive. We managed to do that as the guy who was helping him came to late to disrupt us. Our train pilote made great credits from selling the cargo of the killed transport. That being done we decided to let this day go and come back for work tomorrow where we would team up again to be more powerful.

It was a very interesting weekend I had – ups and downs and all kind of things going wrong.
The day started off real bad as I received a message from Cassi that couldn’t quit her job as her contract can’t be change and needs her work at Cadiz for the next 4 months to come, but she promised me to visite me as often as possible.
Honestly it was also luck for me as there happened something I will tell you right here right now.
I was just coming back to Freeport 1 in the evening after successfully pirating a few traders and making some credits. As I went closer I noticed a ship on my radar and checked it… it was Rebecca Kamensky as Freelancer pilot I already met once.
I contacted her asking how everything is working and what she is doing right now. She was fine and had nothing to do and so we kept on speaking to each other. It was a great conversation and Becci showed me a ship she recently saw on her journeys. It was also a bomber vessel with great looks and good gear to put in. I liked the looks of that ship and asked if she knows where I could ‘buy’ it adding a real long Wihaaaaaaa.
She told me where and I thought that I want I along with another ship I had in mind to buy as my bank account was pretty high by now. We kept on talking and as I liked her so much I just asked her to go out for dinner with me on Wednesday at Freeport 1. She agreed and also liked that idea very much, Becci also said that she would go to New Berlin to get a dress to look great for the date. I knew that I would go to New London as I heard that the got great tailors there where I will buy a suit for this speciall occasion.
As I said that she would look great and like a real lady she laughed and said that we would look like a upper class couple on Wednesday. I had to laugh as well as I never heard about a high class pirate so far. We spoke to eachother for a real long time I didn’t even noticed a Bretonian officer to come up right beside me. Without thinking I told him that im busy speaking to my lady and somehow he understood that and left me chilling at Freeport 1 as long as I wouldn’t try to pirate anyone.
I promised that I got better things to do right now and went on talking to Becci I kind of fell in love with. While we were having a great time I gave her some rum to have a drink later this evening. After about 2 hours of having a great conversation and fun she went towards New Berlin to go shopping. I also went on flying to my first destination now – I won’t tell you the name as it’s no legal base.
After reaching it I went in and headed over to the ship dealer to see what he’s got for sale. Together we looked through all his ships and I found both crafts I was looking for. The Montante Gunship and the Waran Bomber. After negotiating with the owner I got a great package price, but I had to give him my Eclipse bomber. I agreed and after paying him his engineers were already on the way to my ship to install all guns and equipment in my new Waran. While they were working I decided what guns to use on my new gunboat and bought them as well.
The next thing was the ship registration… as I couldn’t have a second ship with my real name I took Steve_Steinar and also got a Pirate ID for this beauty as well. The dealer told me that the Gunship would be ready within the next two days and he would contact me as soon as they are done. I thanked him and left minutes later to get something to eat.
I returned hours later and took of with my Waran to go back to Freeport. I made a great deal by buying this Gunship eventough I just left about 1 billion credits there, but this ship would provide more safety and power during my pirating action and I was already curious to test it live and in action.
The Waran was also great to fly and everything was working fine. This ship has a great look, but is slightly bigger. I love it, but I still need to change the lights on this ship as I don’t want to fly around shining like a christmas tree Wihaaaaaaa.
On the next morning I was back at Freeport and went to sleep as I decided to start my work tomorrow because I was very tired when I stepped into my flat.
