Another Day

Its another glorious day in space at the Von Krusenstern Hub in the LP 447-38 System.I start off the day going over finances and thinking of ways to improve my bank account. So, I go over the bulletin board to see what kinda missions are available.
A few catch my eye, and somehow, I get roped into helping search for a black box from some poor unfortunate soul. So I made sure I had a full tank of gas
and restocked my munitions then left the hub to start my search. Jumped into super cruse and targeted the first UnIdentified Signal Source or UISS for short, and proceeded to drop.
No sooner had I dropped out of super cruse was there a Viper in my vicinity. I proceed to scan the unknown ship to ascertain if friend or foe.
Turned out he was wanted in the system, opened up my hard points and away we went. I'm doing pretty good on my own. Taking out his shields with my lasers then pounding the hull with my multi cannons, when a friggin System Athority Ship decided to help where he wasn't wanted. But we killed him anyway, such was his fate. Since there was no black box in the area back into super cruse we go.
The second UISS I happen to stumble upon is full of System Authority Ships going after pirates. Time to get in on some of this action. Managed to snag two bounties in the chaos as well as their illicit cargo. Since the cops were still around I quickly jumped 5.4Ly away to LHS 448 to unload said cargo. Docked at Sedon Dock, sold my cargo on the black market and sold some system map charts. Rearmed and took off back to LP 447-38.
Came out of hyper space and quickly proceeded to deploy my fuel scoop to refuel for the hunt for the black box. After refueling I cruised around for a little bit and stumbled across a salvageable wreckage. Dropped out of super cruse and I can hardly believe what I'm seeing. 6 black boxes! Day, made, right there. Picked them all up and went back to the Hub to finish my mission and turn in my bounty slips.
While I'm at the hub, I take on a mission to eliminate a pirate vessel in the Ninsun system. Undocked and set a course for the Ninsun system. Dropped out of hyper space and cruised around for a bit. Nothing of worth is popping up on my scanners, so I set the auto pilot and made a cup of coffee. I'm making the coffee and the next thing I know my ship starts shaking and veering off course, I'm getting interdicted! I abandon the coffee, jump in the hot seat, deployed weapons and turns out its a pirate out to kill me. In the rush I don't remember what kinda ship it was, but it was a fierce dogfight. I managed to get the upper hand over him and sent him to his fate, but not without some battle scars to take home. Plotted a course back to LP 447-38 to complete my mission.
While I completed the pirate killing mission, I plum forgot to turn in the bounty into the Ninsun system. So I took on a delivery of Gallium to the Ramanusan Dock, which seems to be illegal there. Hopes for a fast docking and no ship scan. I made it without getting scanned!! did quite a bit of speeding but didn't get any fines so I'm happy. Delivered my cargo and turned in my bounty.
All while this is going on I take on some mining jobs. Don't know why I did, but I did. So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, mulling over the thoughts in my head. Do I trade the Dub John in for another ship more suited to mining, or save up enough to buy one outright. I'm looking at my credits and everything and decide to obtain more credits to outright buy one. As I'm getting ready to leave, going through the preflight checklists, I notice somethings not right, so it seems like I'm down for maintenance for a while. Well time for a nap.
