During a patrol in Kyushu I found a BMM trader (Name: VascodaGamaUncle) carrying Robocultivars, near the Tau-29 jump gate. I asked 2 million credits to ensure his safe passage, but he did not responded accordingly. As a matter of fact, he talked in very short and vague terms, so I applied to him the same treatment, but in a more aggressive approach. After his refusal, he tried to escape and I chase him to Tau-29. Before my Hellfire rockets ended the negotiations quickly, the trader, in his desperation, offered me 3 million. I was in a good mood so I accepted them and left him alive, for this time. (Log 1)
After that, I resumed my patrol to New Tokyo and Honshu, but there was nothing of interest; our so-called authorities were sleeping this time. I went deeply into Sigmas to only find a Zoner carrier ship with some trade lane problems and nothing of value in its cargo hold…I must say, today was not an exciting day for patrol. (Log 2)
It improved when I decided to go a little beyond Kusari. In Tau-37 I saw a couple of Maltese transports, Zeta Cartel designations: >ZC|T-Madiana & >ZC|T-Fleccia. I went cordial with Zetas, escorting them and we had a brief conversation. They have been developing a new installation (Alba Station), and they have been acquiring Industrial Hardware from Ainu. Their speech was friendly and they seem very eager to support our people. Before I left them, one of the transport captains said and I quote: “Because we are good people disliked by a society for our habits”. It seems they are being criticized by their ways, but I will leave the conundrums of Maltese society for experts; I would only say that they have a lot to prove to all of us and to themselves, if they want to survive beyond the frontier of their home.

[07.12.2020 20:55:01] >ZC|T-Freccia: Alberto: Precisely we are hauling Industrial Hardwares from Ainu to Alba Station, our main base of operation
[07.12.2020 20:55:33] GC-Sada.Aeru: Ah, good...good. Ainu can provide such materials, for sure.
[07.12.2020 20:55:56] GC-Sada.Aeru: It is nice to see our alliance works good for both of us.
[07.12.2020 20:56:10] GC-Sada.Aeru: I have seen you cooperating with us, in some occasions.
