Just had a run-in with a Freelancer running cargo in a transport while flying my trusty Bactrian.. I asked for 2 million for safe passage and a chance to loot some more cargo from passing corporate monkeys that weren't smart enough to pay up. This guy actually asked what else he could give me! If I wasn't paranoid he was stalling me until the local law enforcement showed up, I might have taken him up on that.. Maybe the escape pods floating around scared him stiff, who knows? Maybe that Freelancer will give them a lift, if they haven't drifted too far away by the time he gets back. I believe this encounter counts towards Determination and along with passing my Examinations I should meet the criteria for rank of Operative.. attached is proof of my encounter, as clumsy as it was.
