Today was a rather busy day. I went to do a patrol around Shikoku and found two transports carrying lots of Platinum Ore. Unfortunately, one of the transports, Special.Delivery.Ship, docked on a nearby installation but I managed to keep the other one, Logistical.Dream, from docking and we had a little chat. The captain said he was heading towards Zurich, I asked for a small toll of seven mil' to let him pass which he kindly turned in and I then let him go. I waited a bit for the other one to show up again, but I had no luck.

[05.02.2021 21:42:06] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Konnichiwa to you as well.

[05.02.2021 21:42:43] Logistical.Dream: Konnichiwa
[05.02.2021 21:43:17] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: I wonder where you're going with that. Mind helping me out with my wonder?
[05.02.2021 21:43:45] Logistical.Dream: Im off to Zurich
[05.02.2021 21:44:20] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: I assume it would be okay if I asked you for a small toll to pass through Shikoku, that wouldn't cause any problems now-
[05.02.2021 21:44:21] GC-Hoshihokori: -would it?
[05.02.2021 21:44:36] Logistical.Dream: Not at all good lady
[05.02.2021 21:44:59] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: How much does your entire load pay for, Universal?
[05.02.2021 21:45:11] Logistical.Dream: well that would be telling
[05.02.2021 21:45:24] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Just asking.
[05.02.2021 21:45:26] Logistical.Dream: how about I donate 7 million
[05.02.2021 21:45:33] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: You sure know the total price, don't you?
[05.02.2021 21:45:56] Logistical.Dream: Possibly *giggles*
[05.02.2021 21:46:07] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: And that is?
[05.02.2021 21:46:50] Logistical.Dream: so 7million is 10% of my payout
[05.02.2021 21:47:05] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: This load pays for seventy million?
[05.02.2021 21:47:13] Logistical.Dream: Yes
[05.02.2021 21:47:55] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Oh boy, you guys have it easy. I was gonna take ten off you, but since I wasted so much of your time, seven will do.
[05.02.2021 21:48:14] [2021-02-05] 19:48:14 You have received 7.000.000 credits from Logistical.Dream
[05.02.2021 21:48:26] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Thank you very much.
[05.02.2021 21:48:35] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: I can escort you till Galileo..?
[05.02.2021 21:48:41] Logistical.Dream: Not a problem lady of Kusari
[05.02.2021 21:48:49] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Make sure none of my Sisters gets too thirsty, tell 'em you paid.
[05.02.2021 21:48:56] Logistical.Dream: Its Ok im going a different way
[05.02.2021 21:49:12] Logistical.Dream: Thanks for the offer
[05.02.2021 21:49:12] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: In that case safe flight to Zurich.
[05.02.2021 21:49:25] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Was a pleasure.
[05.02.2021 21:49:35] Logistical.Dream: Good day
Continuing on, I headed to Kyushu where I found another transport, KusariBusinessmen, this time carrying gold ore. I requested a fine of ten million to let him pass and after receiving a rather fast payment I sent him on his way. He was working for the Samura, and obviously as I confirmed he had no clue who he was working for. Transport captains these days, they just accept contracts having no clue who the monsters they're working for are.
[05.02.2021 22:03:01] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Konnichiwa, cut your engines.
[05.02.2021 22:03:19] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: And you are?
[05.02.2021 22:03:27] KusariBusinessmen: trader
[05.02.2021 22:03:34] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: A Samura one.
[05.02.2021 22:03:54] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: You're probably one of those who have no clue who they are working for. Correct?
[05.02.2021 22:04:04] KusariBusinessmen: yes
[05.02.2021 22:04:28] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Thought so. I'll be swift with you, no need to waste your time. Ten mil and you can pass.
[05.02.2021 22:04:58] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Thank you.
[05.02.2021 22:05:03] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Have a safe flight.
Finally, a few minutes after that last transport, a KNF Destroyer, KNF-Sumoto, came down the lane that I was holding. I obviously cut the lane and asked for a very small fine of five million which the man couldn't pay. I lowered the fine to two million, just a one time chance, and the man -still- didn't want to pay up. Goddess was that one poor KNF captain. But well, we both knew the drill - he wouldn't pay me the cash I asked for, and I wasn't exactly gonna let him just pass by my checkpoint for free.
Gosh, do these KNF lads never learn to show some respect? Took me a good twenty or so minutes to take that Destroyer down, but it was a fun fight, Misaki-chan even showed up at some point and watched me fight with that thing. I gotta admit she gave me a big boost to not lose that one. Arigato, Misaki-san!
[05.02.2021 22:09:37] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Konnichiwa.
[05.02.2021 22:09:51] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: And you are?
[05.02.2021 22:10:29] KNF-Sumoto: leave this system
[05.02.2021 22:10:32] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Cat got your tongue, KNF?
[05.02.2021 22:10:36] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: I was gonna pirate you first.
[05.02.2021 22:10:43] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Five mil and you can pass.
[05.02.2021 22:10:50] KNF-Sumoto: no
[05.02.2021 22:10:57] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Why not? Are you a poor one?
[05.02.2021 22:11:01] KNF-Sumoto: yes
[05.02.2021 22:11:08] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Okay, two mil.
[05.02.2021 22:11:13] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Doesn't get any lower than this.
[05.02.2021 22:11:17] KNF-Sumoto: open fire
[05.02.2021 22:11:22] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: Try me.
[05.02.2021 22:14:10] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hey Hino-san, do you need assistence?
[05.02.2021 22:14:19] GC-Hoshihokori: RO :Nah, I'm fine.
[05.02.2021 22:14:31] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: alright, then I will stay back
[05.02.2021 22:24:09] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hmm Should I remove its shield?
[05.02.2021 22:24:50] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: weapons on standby
[05.02.2021 22:27:58] Death: KNF-Sumoto was put out of action by GC-Hoshihokori (Gun).
[05.02.2021 22:28:03] GC-Hoshihokori: RO: There we go.
