Here I am at Mactan. Relaxing back, chatting to allies. We Hackers have great clothes, great food and of course... Malta Orange. This is the life! But the life of a Hacker isn't always great.
For example, today in Dublin I ... was "conducting business with the Mollys". I would soon find out that Traders and Bounty hunters can be so pitiful.
After transiting to Dublin to help out our Molly friends, I pick up the trader TIGAR on my scanners. He appeared to be in a Heavy Tanker. That'll a tough nut to crack for my Slipstream. It didn't bother me however, I disrupted him and engaged.
Boy, those shields were tough! After a few minutes of draining his shields, my Adv. Debilitators managed to break his shield. The Trader wasn't fazed however, he then opened fire with his turrets. Hah, he thought he could hit me. Me! What a fool. I kept up attacking his ship until a fellow Hacker (Flowerch!ld*) came to my assistance. His Sabre really packs a punch! Can't wait 'till i can fly one of those beauties...
Anyway back to this corporate lackey. He was fleeing towards the New London jumpgate with little success. But suddenly, he changed directions and zoomed to the Battleship Essex! This guy was bait for those Bretonnian lapdogs! After recieving some hits from the Essex's Main Cannon I decided to withdraw. No point losing my shiny Slipstream over some civilian. I could catch him later.
I was making the long haul back to Arranmore to repair when an amazing thing happened. Two Bounty Hunter targets appeared on my long range scanners, HR=TIGAR=CRO and HR=kIlLeR=CRO. To think these Bounty Hunters would encroach on the Mollys territory... Disgraceful. It'll be their loss. At least that was my opinion until I scanned them up close.
Two fully kited-out Bounty Hunter Battlecruisers were closing in on me! Such a ridiculous show of force from the BHG today... Thankfully my Slipstream was agile enough to evade their clumsy attacks. I fell back to Arranmore hoping the minefield would deter them.
Turns out I was right. One of the battlecruisers had disappeared completely from my scanners and the other was skulking near the New London jump gate. I left Arranmore and evaded detection by the second Battlecruiser. A short trip through the jumphole network got me back to Mactan.
