I didn't learn it the first time.

So, I have been doing passenger runs for the Empire this week. Figure I help evacuate Muller Terminal after the terrorst attacks. After about ten mission, I went to see what other passenger missions there was out of Friedman Terminal. Well one thing led to another and I found myself at FilterReach in the Kokobi system. Still having on more stop in sytem, i checked the board. Scrolling through the missions I noticed a lot of people wanting to go to Deriso. Hmm. So I checked the mission boards and, what do you know. Many data jobs headed there aslo. High paying data jobs! (red flag, waning, warning Will Robinson!) . Yeah, I didn't pay any attention to the red flags. Anyway, i loaded up several, and then went to pick out those passengers and tourist. Quickly gathering them on board. Now, the lesson part 1. I never checked to see WHERE Deriso was. Turned out o be 22,000LY away. Yep, way to go dumbass. But the hits just kept on coming. As I departed the staion, guess what popped up on my panel. ILLEGAL PASSENGER! What? Wait? who vetted these people? That would be me of course! Lesson past 2. ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THE PASSENGER HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD OR IS WANTED! Now, you really don't have to worry about in in somplaces, but in the Empire.... So, after escpaing the system police, barely, I jumped to supercruise to plot the route. Now if you payed attention so far, twent two thousand light years away1 plotting computer said, and I'm not lying, "up yours! I ain't going there, too far away"! Say what? CRAP. Now what. Meanwhile, all the nice people on the ship are have a shit fit because of the one person and start asking to get of at the nearest port. Okay then. I can deal with that. Take them all off my ship, damn whiners! `
Well.......... Head to the SAN DAVOKJE. An Empire ystem. Lesson 3. Never take a wanted person to an aligned system. Find an anarchy or independet system with a black market. You won't get scanned. Well it didn't end well this time. I didn't get away! Never fly woithout the rebuy. Yep ended up in space jail!
On the upside though, yes there is. After paying the fine and bailing my ass out of the pokey, I left with my Python, Deep Space Boogie with on;y bare bones. No optional modules. No weapons. NOTHING. Buy I did say up side, right?
Well, enentually I made my way to Kavih, landed at Sadi Carnot Ring. While trying to figure out my next trick, I decided to sell the Python and get a Imperial Clipper. My rescue missions had paid off enough and I am a Baron, afterall! So as I traded ships, I noticed that I was gaining 200 milion credits! Yes 200 million! Well must have been somekind of glitch in the system, but I'm not complaing.
Now, got to start the upgrades to " Sweet Louise" ! o7 commanders. I'm out.
