Greetings Gentlemen. This is another report of my latest operations.
As I was conducting business in Texas system, a LPI came and disrupted the discussion I had with a friendly Universal Shipping employee. The interesting part was the fact that he was using Bounty Hunter weaponry and the RFP pilot in his hold clearly indicates that it recently fought against Rheinlanders: ••
Of course, I managed to escape from the 2 LPI and continued my business in California. There, a Gateway flunky was extorted and I also found a rude Congressman. I already expressed my complaints to the Congress, here. Later, I also destroyed a fool Kusarian flunky which couldn't meet my demands. Anyway, while I was returning to Leiden, I encountered the ultimate flunky. A stork with IC IFF and Ageira papers. Needless to say that its cargo hold was confiscated and his hull got some holes from my Hellflurries before he realized that it was impossible to save himself: •••••••••••••
Another day, I was going to California when I noticed an Ageira flunky in Colorado. It was an Armored Transport and when he noticed me he started running in the vacuum. So we had the time for an extensive discussion with it's captain. Even though he was brain-washed, I think some of the things I told him made him curious. Fortunately in the end he made a mistake so I managed to reach him and he opened fire. The fight didn't last too long. In the end, while we were still 200K outside the system, I made him jettison his cargo and shoot it with his own turrets. Lovely, isn't it? •••
Back in California, we found an OSI transport hauling Gold Ore to the Ageira base. As I said in my previous transmission, I am not really fond of this "Zoner" corporation. They are not real Zoners. So we asked him to pay 1mil to each one of us. Me, Mr Morant and Miss Orlov. An hour later, near the Cortez Jump Gate we found an IND flunky. He was going to Los Angeles to buy a movie production house and become a movie star. Too bad he won't make it since he had to drop all his cargo. After some other successful extortions, I was attacked by a BHG| in Cortez. I had the upper hand however some minutes later a Mandalorian appeared and helped him: ••••••
Some days ago in Texas I found some Unioners and discussed a bit about the issue I have with the Freeport 2 Administrator. They were in fact interested and recently sent me a private message as well. We couldn't discuss more things however, because the "authorities" came and a fight soon started. The latest trent is armourless DSE Mastodons transporting Vehicles to the front and basic alloy to Fort Severn. I have caught some of those. In one occasion a Vigilante tried to stop me, but he was destroyed after the DSE Mastodon paid me. I also found again a smuggler named Black.Market. He still somehow has the idea that because he hates "LNS" he will be exempt from my extortion. I made sure that this is not true. Afterwards, Mr Stewart and Miss Orlov assisted me but we didn't manage to destroy 2 Luxury Liners which were carrying both refined and unrefined gold ore for NY. Too bad... we could have made good money. Half an hour later a transport filled with Niobium was extorted and then a Junker Salvager came by. He was very rude and didn't want to answer in my questions. In the end, he opened fire and he paid that with his destroyed ship. So I launched Silent Circuit and tractored the Luxury Consumer Goods and Mr Stewart in his freighter accompanied me in a small trade run through Kusari, Bretonia and in the end Rheinland. As I was moving Gold to Buffalo, I found an Omicroner in Bering effectively breaking the Rheinland embargo. I am planning to sell this intel to the Rheinland Intelligence: ••••••••••••••••
Yesterday was a good profitable day... I firstly encountered another DSE Mastodon. Soon after I extorted him a Liberty Siege Cruiser and a Gunboat arrived so I was forced to keep distance and wait for backup. Fortunately, a friendly Scylla came by and we destroyed both of the naval capitals. And then.. [Convoy] came which was going to Ontario. They were hauling Basic Alloy and it was heavily guarded. So I let them pass. I tried to call for additional backup and Miss Orlov in her Scimitar came by. Not a very suitable vessel in that occasion, I should add. In the meantime, a <SA> tagged slaver hauling cardamine, however since the [Convoy] was returning I didn't have the time for a little chat with him. This time they were hauling the much more valuable Military Vehicles and we stopped them with the Scylla and the Scimitar. Their escorts were one Templar and 2 Bretonian Gunboats and they were accompanying 2 heavily armoured Shires. I asked from the Shires the standard tariff and their convoy leader offered to pay 75% of my original price. In terms of firepower I didn't stand a chance, so I accepted the deal. I think it was better than taking unnecessary risks. Near Mojave I also found an artifact smuggler named last_pilgrim and a [TAZ] Yacht hauling Marijuana. Later that day I extorted a Shire transport hauling Gold Ore. It didn't comply in any of my demands and in fact it called a Navy battlegroup. However I didn't give up and I met him afterwards, in the lane between Mojave and Los Angeles. It put a hard fight and in the end I forced it to drop all of its cargo and leave. Vanquish soon hauled almost 4200 of Gold Ore to the Ageira base.
If Ageira knew who they paid for their services... ••••••••••••••••
