Wanted. Again...
10 Dec 2015Unrealization
As I was sitting in the Conway Cantina sipping a bit of brandy I've brought along from Lave after cashing in on that great mapping mission they asked people to contribute to a guy as shady as the night side of LTT 4961 3 approached and sat down, pushing a folder in my general direction."This might be of interested to you.", he said.
I answered "What's of interest to me is who you are. After all, you're the one who's crashing in on a well deserved drink."
He went on to explain how little he cared about my drink and told me that NULL head office had sent him. I opened the folder, looked at the info and shook my head.
"Weleserme? You guys are aware I'm not exactly welcome over there, right?"
He smiled, exposing teeth too big for a man that slender, and said "Your bounties have expired. You'll be fine. Just don't let yourself get scanned by security."
With that he got up and took off, leaving me to my brandy and that folder with the mission info.
I picked up the folder again, had another look at the info. Killing pirates in Weleserme, actually doing some good, after killing System Authority for the Feds last time I visited. But 21 of them, that wasn't gonna be a quick hit and run, but take a bit of time to track down that number. Payout was nearly 900 kCr. Together with the bounties that'll help towards upgrading the Python.
I finished my brandy and took off towards the docks. With the Vulture still parked at Kausalya I'd have to take the Python for this mission. Setting course for Weleserme I fired up my ship and left for the mail slot.
After a quick jump I arrived my target system. Not wanted, good. I cruised around a bit and found my first target. An Eagle, how cute. Nobody said I had to shoot big ships, right? I interdicted the poor pirate, took him out, waited for my FSD to finish cooling down and off I went to supercruise. The next couple of targets did not manage to create more excitement, it appears pirate activity is limited to small fish.
As pirate activity in supercruise had dried up I figured I'd give the local Nav Beacon a go. It's always a place busy with people coming into the system, and you can often find a few pirates waiting for unsuspecting traders.
There I moved towards the magic 21 much faster, but of course it was only a question of time until I'd also attract the attention of System Security. I didn't bother about the scan, because I love to disappoint pirates with my empty cargo racks, but this time it was no pirate. And then the fire started. A quick glance onto my displays confirmed my fears, I was wanted. Again. With only 4 pirates left to scratch from my list.
Instead of facing System Security and further increase my bounty I decided to leave and hunt down the last few pirates in supercruise. That worked quite quickly, now having a nearly 100 kCr price tag on my head. It's a good thing that also pirates like the lure of a nice bounty, that way I was finished quickly and could leave the system for home. And more brandy.
I docked back at Conway, reported back to Head Office and went back to the Cantina, hoping to not see any more folders for the rest of the day.
