Today, I joined up with mr.Blackfriar on his Transgressor in order to extort transports flying around Liberty, and it was a very proficuous hunt.
All extortions below count toward the Determination criterion completition, save for one about a Universal weasel that counts towards the Resourcefulness criterion.
I managed to extort a Cryer shill, callsign arxontas for a small amount of credits prior to meeting up with Mr.Blackfriar near Buffalo.
As I joined with him, we took the Texas Jumpgate trade lane as a first. However, seeing that traffic to and from Texas was at an overall low, we decided to relocate to the Colorado Jumpgate trade lane. Here, we managed to extort a Zoner, callsign Larry.Lagavulin. Shortly after the Zoner left, we stopped a Universal shill, callsign Primero.Libertad - this one was hauling these when we stopped it. We inquired his captain about the destination of said cargo, but seems that everyone on that ship save the cook bailed - nevertheless, he told us they were headed for Denver.
After this, we stopped two more transports: the first one was a Rheinlander, callsign Kruger|KMS-Shlagbolzen, and the second one was a Freelancer, callsign Ezra.Ramirez. To top it all off, a Navy lapdog in nothing less than an Assault Carrier came to hunt us. Clearly, we bailed out, outwitting the hound in the process. We chose to relocate to California through Colorado and Ontario, where we restocked at Cochrane. We took the lane between the New York Jumpgate and Riverside. Here, we caught what seemed to be a refugee runner, callsign Hammock, moving Refugees to Liberty from Bretonia. We inquired the pilot about the poor situation in Liberty as well as the opportunity to bring those refugees in a better place - of course, Malta. The captain of the small Sunburst inquired his passengers, with 24 deciding to follow our advice - a local Rogue patrol picked up the pods that will be already on Malta.
We chose to hunt for a little while, but seeing that there was no traffic at all, we called it a day and docked on Alcatraz.
That is all for now.
