For the first time in what seems like a long time, I went flying with Phate today. We split up for a while, I went to Cortez to monitor trade lane activity. Soon, a Junker Congressmen flew by, and made an unsolicited donation to the Hacker accounts. I thanked him, and shortly after went back to Magellan.
The first real target Phate and I encountered was Enclave, a Firefly Transport hauling Boron. We stopped him, and he quickly made a payment of 1 750 000 credits to ensure his personal safety. Enclave Scan Credit demand
After that we split up for a while. Phate went to New York, while I stayed in Magellan. My patience was rewarded as I found Kricek, an Armored Transport. I chased him through Magellan and made the stop in the Manchester system. He quickly made the right choice, and acceded to my demand of 150 000 credits. Target Scan Making the Demand Payment
Later, I found Joker, a Humpback pilot, in Cortez. I made a paltry demand of 50 000 credits, with no response. He fled to California, where I disrupted his trade lane. When his silence persisted, I gave him one final chance, then atomized his freighter. Hopefully he'll be wiser in the future. Demand Last chance Destruction
Right when Phate and I were about to call it a day, Phate came upon Liberty Naval pilot Jack Malrone. I quickly moved to assist, traveling from Magellan to California. As can be expected, after a protracted battle, the Navy pilot fell to the combined Hacker expertise. Target Scan Moving in to assist Target reduced to vapour
