So this is some bull man. Some heavy bull. Like, this bull must have eaten a TON of food before dropping this load of bull. Like, could fertilize a field with this bull man. Yeah, thats right. A lot of bull.
Anyway, so here we are, chattin' it up with some Gateway fella in the Omega 11 system, when in comes a pretty decent sized group of RM ships, followed by some punkass RFP officers. Hell, we weren't even piratin' them! Just talkin' about the war man!
So, the RM and RFP say that they heard a complaint about us Marauders, but offered no evidence that we did anything wrong. None! Just heresay. Then some idiot Daumann guy in a Hegemon decides to "claim" that we pirated him before in Omega 3, but his monkey ate the wires to his guncam. A monkey? Seriously?! A monkey... on a mining ship... eating wires. Man, if I had a credit for everytime I heard that, I'd have... well, I'd have a credit cause I haven't actually heard that one before. Huh. But regardless! Some bull man.
So then, the RFP orders us to leave. ORDERS us, as if we were scum and guilty of a crime! They offered no evidence, and told us to leave after they butted into our peaceful conversation with that Gateway guy? No no man, no. That's some crap. We thenexchanged some words, and out of the blue, they claim we are insulting them and fine us! Insulting them? Are you effing kidding me man? They show up, act all haughty and claim we are doing illegal crap, then when we prove we aren't, they tell us to leave. To an independent system! Whats more, some Hessians and Corsairs show up. Do the RFP leave to go deal with real pirates? Nope! Still busy wagging their unmentionables at us...
So after a while, with us trying to show to them that it's some crap for them to antagonize us into insulting them, then fining us, some more RM show up. A little more clear headed, but still siding with the dick-officers. So we ended up paying them like a mil or so.
Seriously though! I mean, c'mon man. We're just chillin' and these two have the nerve to come in, insult US and try to tell us what to do and be all mighty and what not, then stoop so low as to fine us for talking back? Ugh! *Takes another really long toke*
Anyway, that's about what happened. I included a guncam shot below where one of the RFP insulted one of our own by calling her a him! Bastards...
Today I was passing through Cambridge in my bomber, the JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R] doing some exploration and admiring the lovely sight of the Grasmere Ice Cloud.
Right after exiting the lane speed, while on my way from the planet Cambridge itself to HMS Norfolk, I noticed two contacts on my draidis. A classical DL Series BWT, callsigned Herr_Horst, and a rather aged Firefly-class Civilian Transport, callsigned Dan1. What a "creative" naming convention. *seems disgusted*
Either way...
They were in the process of entering the lane way leading to Omega-3 jump gate. Something was wrong with their transponders. They probably tampered with those. After preliminary scans I also checked their cargo holds, and both of those were full of black market munitions. That explained the funny IFF readings.
I followed them both...
They broke off the lanes and turned for the jump hole to Omega-5. Since they were leaving Bretonia I thought I might help them... in their passing... within one or the other meaning of this word. Thus I told them I can provide the escort... poor fools obviously believed me, as they even awaited my arrival. After we all jumped I waited till we get as far from the jump hole and the Corsair base located near as possible.
Then it was time to change the approach I thought.. we were no longer within the reach of aunty Carina's warm loins after all. I told them that the escort I offered is not exactly free of charge and that they have to pay me ten million credits if they wish to keep their souls contained within those ugly sacks of meat and bone.
However...
In all their sillyness, they refused to stop or to pay and thus, the fireworks began. Unfortunately for me, both transports were equipped with anti-fighter weapon arrays. That didn't stop me from anihilating one of those fools. The other I damaged badly enough, but sadly, his turrets drained my shields and at the same time torpedo I fired exploded quite near and managed to ravage the hull of my bomber. At the end, one got blasted and one managed to blow Golden Tempest out of the sky and the favour still awaits being returned... it will not wait for long though... I assure you. *evil grin*
Now, for the records, I upload the comm logs and guncam picture of one of those smugglers getting his lungs full of dancing flames and his entrails dispersed in space along with the rest of his ship. It's quite pretty as I managed to captivate the moment of explosion itself... *smiles in delight*

[24.12.2013 01:01:08] JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R]: With those munitions?
[24.12.2013 01:01:11] Dan1: freeport 15
[24.12.2013 01:01:16] Herr_Horst: Too many Cosairs!!!
[24.12.2013 01:02:00] JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R]: How about you'll pay me for the escort... I'd say... 10 millions... like... right now. *evil grin*
[24.12.2013 01:02:27] JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R]: Or I will kill you both!
[24.12.2013 01:02:39] JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R]: STOP and PAY! Mortals!

I already got myself a new bomber, the old one I got rid of, saving only the transponder. Also, considering that one must learn from one's mistakes, I managed to fix the calibration on the new torpedo launcher. It should work more efficiently now and next time I won't taste the tip of my own sword again as I did this time. For this, and this only... prolonged a bit the life of whoever sits in the cockpit of Dan1.
*stops for a moment, apparently mad at himself for letting his prey get away, but then lightens up and continues*
I also have a little... design and construction project going on... but that I believe it is a topic for another occasion.
I believe that this is my first Transmission to Marauders.So , i finally came up with some useful thing i have done and i thought that , yeah, telling you would be better. It was a nice day when i headed out, from cali to Nobium ore field ,Tau-23 after it i went to Kyushu and took the lane of Tsushima , then to Planet Kyushu , as you know i blocked the lane by intercepting the middle way. As i did, Money came to me but it wasn't that easy , every time you want money you have to shed some blood. Here are some of the Master piece that made me earn some Millions.
After that i went to NewTokyo and then i found a trader running with gold ore to planet New Tokyo, I stopped him , Burned him took his Gold ore and made 50M+
Unfortunately due to so much fire works my guncam stopped working so i took some logs.

Then i met DHC , when i burned that ship, DHC was near watching it all , they sent me 6M for burning that vessel , considering that DHC and Libertonians are enemy, they were pleased to see me doing their work but doh , they didn't knew it was all for money. Then they asked me to come to Berlin and have some free ore, on the way i got another IMg miner with nobium ore so i pirated him , took his ore and went with DHC to Berlin. Sold the Ore then went with DHC to Munich, their hospitality was quiet good, they gave me 2600 units of Aluminum ore for Free.

After that i sold the Ore at Planet new London and went back to Kusari, Met a pirate , he gave me some intel on libertonian and freelancers working with some neutral miners. I went there and Pirated another Transport full of Helium. Took Ore from him and sold it at Southamption Shipyard,NewLondon.
After that I went to Liberty , I was going to Colorado but on the way from Galilio jump gate To Planet Denver. I found a Lane hacker pirating an IMG transport, I stopped by to look and here see what i got.
*Chryses appears, in the background a rich flora can be seen, vines and trees and bushes and flowers, all huge, colourful and expanding high, to the top of the biodome itself*
Greetings, fellow Marauders.
I'm currently stationed at the Freeport 6 and I must admitt, those Zoner researchers are amazing. This entire biodome I'm currently in is filled with a plethora of unique forms of vegetation that they are nurturing here... a sight wonderfull to behold... indeed.
*he takes a deep breath delighted by his surroundings*
Yet, I'm straying from the matter in hand. The purpose of this transmission is to fill you in, on the events taking place yesterday. And that's exactly what I'm gonna do now.
I was roaming the Tau-31 system, in the cockpit of JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R], when I received data on a Marauder convoy forming outside the Cali base. The convoy consisted of JM|-Gear.Golem-[R] and JM|-Scrap.Refinery-[R]. Both of those ships were hauling the niobium ore we... obtained... some time before.
I joined in with the convoy and docked at the Scrap Refinery where I spent the entire journey to Colorado. We encountered no obstacles on our course there, and I was relaxing on the deck of the Refinery the whole time chatting with the ship's crew.
Upon breaking a deal with the local trader on planet Denver and stocking up on some medical supplies for the Outcasts back at Cali... the transports rendezvoused outside the planet. Shortly after I undocked the Golden Tempest and flew alongside the transports on our way back to Tau-23.
The way certainly lead, as before, trought Kusari space and withing the Kyushu system we encountered a Hogosha vessel, showing up on the draidis as [|]Hagetaka. After exchanging some insults and being warned not to proceid aftet the convoy, the vessel, identified and confirmed to be a "Mamoru" Farmer's Alliance Bomber continued it's pursuit and followed us into the Tau-23 system, straight through the jump hole.
On the other side, the Hogosha issued a payment for travelling through Kusari. The demand was, of course, refused. At the same time another Hogosha vessel of the very same class, showing up as [|]-Ishikura.Hideki appeared in the system and joined in with the [|]Hagetaka. Scrap Refinery set course for the Tau-37 jump hole and proceided at best possible speed.
The Hogosha started to pursue after the liner, firing multiple cruise distruptor missiles and forcing the Refinery to continue on its course at sub-cruise speed with the help of the thruster. Hogosha vessels also engaged our forces which resulted in immediate response from the Gear Golem, Golden Tempest and Scrap Refinery. Hostile bombers focused their fire on the transports while I chased after them with my bomber and tried to take them out.
All of the ships jumped to the Tau-37 and continued the engagement, flying towards the Freeport 10. When within the station range Hogosha ships failed to comply with the Zoner NFZ regulation and continued their assault, luckily with no success.
The transports successfully docked at the Freeport 10 and I, after being certain they're safe, turned my ship around and headed towards the Tau-23.
During the engagements I managed to severely damage one of the bombers, yet in the end neither side suffered any casualties.
When Tau-23 I encountered a Rheinland Train, with an ALG transponder and I tried to stop it and devoid its captain of credits, yet unfortunately my demands were refused and the ship headed to the Java station. I didn't manage to destroy the vessel before it engaged the docking manouvers with the station... sadly... *makes a sad face*
On the bright side my little design and construction project is proceiding with no obstacles and delays, the transponder and the papers are ready and the indentification has been already added to the Marauder register. Yet the interior is not finished and some key elements are yet to be delivered... and yes... it is a ship. *smiles*
Today, I rendezvoused with the Grand Marauder at Cali, in Tau-23. We shortly after spotted a Hogosha fighter going for the Kyushu jumphole. We pursued and tried to intercept the target which lead us to the Kyushu system. I was in my Raven's Talon-class VHF, the JM|-Golden.Storm-[R], while the Grand Marauder took his Collector-class VHF, the JM|-Mercury.Touch[R].
However, despite our efforts to catch up to it, the Hogosha managed to run away while we encountered a Kusari Gunboat which opened fire upon us. We destroyed the ship and two fighters escorting it and unable to trace the Hogosha fighter, returned back to Cali with the Kusari Captain contained within an escape pod, in my cargo hold.
Upon reaching Cali I refueled, equipped my ship with some bots and bats and sold off the Captain to the Outcasts for some credits. I'm sure they will appreciate their new toy. Meanwhile the Grand Marauder took his BWT, the JM|-Silver.Hound-[R] and soon after that, we met in space, just outside the station.
The transport was filled with beryllium, and we set our course for Liberty in order to sell the ore. We encountered no trouble on our way, on the contrary. While in Kepler I noticed a small independent mining vessel hauling some gold ore. While the Grand Marauder continued to the sell point I pursued the vessel to Shikoku, halted it and stripped the miner of some credits.
Then I returned to Kepler and waited at the Ames for the return of the Silver Hound. Then, we formed up and returned swiftly to Cali encountering no obstacles on our way there.
To sum it all up, we've accomplished a quick and successfull run to Liberty and back and earned some credits while doing so.
I hope we'll certainly manage to kill something later... *evil grin*
Greetings, fellow Marauders. *he speaks out with a spark of excitement in his eyes*
It would seem we were rather busy today. While still roaming the wonderful biodomes of Freeport 6 I received a scrambled signal on emergency channel. At once I manned the JM|-Golden.Tempest-[R] and left Freeport 6, heading towars the Tau-44 where a battle between the Marauders and the MiCo employees took place.
After jumping straight into the Tau-44 system I immediately spotted on my draidis two of our bombers: JM|-Rusty.Revenge[R] and JM|-Death.Trap-[R], as well as three ships belonging to the MiCo, that is two gunboats: MiCo|Blazing.Fire and MiCo|FighterShield, as well as a battlecruiser of theirs: MiCo|The.Banshee. I've entered the engagement and along with Rusty Revenge and Death Trap I took out the two gunboats.
When those were out of the picture we continued to bombard the battlecruiser, however it took shelter within the drydocks of the station before we managed to destroy it, however after taking very heavy damage from our cannons and torpedoes.
Then, we scooped the asteroid field in search of the MiCo base, that we suspected might be hidden somewhere within.
At the same time the Death Trap jumped to Tau-23 and shortly after reported that another MiCo ship and a Kusari Naval Forces Battleship are approaching...
The Grand Marauder continued to sweep the field in search of a base while I jumped to Tau-23 and together with the Death Trap, we anihilated the battleship changing it to a pile of scrap in no time.
The MiCo miner who accompanied and probably brought the battleship there in the first place, ran away in the meantime.
We flew straight to Cali in order to refuel and ressuply our vessels. Right after that I undocked and swept over the Tau-23 in search of possible targets.
At the same time, the Grand Marauder reported that he managed to find the location of MiCo base, in Tau-44.
And shortly after, I found a mining ship, Hegemon-class to be precise within the northern mining fields. It's cargo hold was filled with niobium ore. I demanded 10 millions from the miner and when he was giving me nothing but excuses I raised my demands to 12 millions... he refused to pay, claiming he doesn't have that much money... and since I so deeply "cared" for that... I brought swift death upon this foolish miner without further prolonging our boring conversation. *laughs*
Soon after JM|-Scrap.Refinery-[R] came along to tractor in the niobium floating in the debris field, which used to be a Hegemon.
Below I relay some eye-cady stuff, scans, destruction confirmations and such, relating to what I was just talking about.
To sum it all up... it was a lovely day, lots of blood spilled and lots of colourful explosions. I certainly hope for more of such wonderful adventures in the near future. *smiles*
Right now I'm stationed at Cali, in Tau-23. A while ago there was a huge battle here, as some of you well know, and that's what this broadcast is all about. Since I've got matters to attend to I'll make it rather laconic.
Earlier while on Cali I received an emergency broadcast about a fight between the IMG and the Marauders near Java station. I jumped into JM|-Golden.Storm-[R] and joined in. Except for the Golden Storm, present were also: JM|-For.The.Cargo-[R], JM|-Merc-[R], JM|-Pride-[A]. Together we managed to get the upper hand and anihilate two of the IMG vessels, IMG|John.Cutter[R] and IMG|Westrok[R].
However the Guild has received reinforcements and IMG|Raymon:Lister was backed up by IMG|Phillip.Morris and IMG|Sean.Garret[R]. Shortly after chaos broke loose, as more and more parties joined in to assist the IMG. Including the Reavers, ALG, EFL, GRN, CR, and some Freelancers...
We were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. JM|-Pride-[A] managed to blast Cerulean,Reaver out of the sky. Later on, our freighter, JM|-For.The.Cargo-[R] was taken out by IMG|Raymon:Lister and after that, facing plethora of enemies and being completely outnumbered, we pulled off a combat docking at Cali, first Greed, then the Golden Storm and finally Pride.
During the fight I was tailed by one of the Reavers, several times I managed to drain his shields dry, but each of those times it bagan to ran like a little girl and thus I didn't manage to kill the little scum. Sadly...
Anyway, my ship sustained no damage whatsoever in this failed onslaught and I dare say we all did very well. Moreover I already received a message that the ships we blown up will produce a generous.
Now... I believe... in order to satisfy the Goddess Nemesis' desires... we should make them pay for their little anti-Marauder multifactional collaboration. Even despite it being so unsuccessfull to do us any serious harm...

Ahem. Is this thing working?
ok well... its been quite a while since I ever reported some action. Alright, well yesterday I was taking my newly made ship to Cali, when I found a curious party of Xenos in Kepler... I called for some help from the Marauders, one came by the... JM|-StormCrow-[R]... yes... we managed to get rid of this pest. Tho I would have liked to send them home with my [X] wing ship. But for desperate times one must do whats nescesary. Well on the way home I escorted my sister back to Taus with her new fighter. Traffic was really calm, I had a drink with her and talked a bit of family stuff. Ya' know... the stuff.

To the chief!
Well here we are now... again. Before going to bed I wen't to explore the IMG field at Tau-23... and found an IMG mining for a BorderworldEx. but it was funny.. this miner was with a <Spatial>Super Heavy Fighter. Seems the miners are getting more and more protected... You guys be careful.. tho this fighter wasn't skilled enough for taking on another Super Heavy Fighter... and even, being piloted by a Marauder, all his guns came off before I even killed him. As an honourable man, I wanted to spar the IMG and kill it. So I let the Civilian go, and told him to be on guard. He was kinda scared of the huge rocks.. but who cares... nothing is impossible to us.
But well back home I was destroyed by a Kusari Explorer IMG boy who didn't even say a word before killing me... even I did the mistake of staying quiet to see if he might talk. Shameful... hope he dies somewhere in space.. If I don't see him before that, that is. I recovered part of the black box of my ship and managed to get a small part before my death... <Here>
