Bad Pickings
20 May 2018Aries Reaper Xevi
While Flying my ASP Explorer a few hundred light years to gather Meta-Alloy and another few to see an engineer about Thruster upgrades spotted an Anaconda that was on the wanted list but listed as Elite (Me I'm still a novice in combat, well at first I did the smart thing and decided to leave the over sized beast alone but, as I was preparing to enter super-cruise I heard weapons fire and figured hmmm maybe System Authority is trying to take him down be a good payday if I helped, So I shut down my FDS and swung my ship around and opened fire (Still had the ANACONDA locked in as target from before I activated the FDS well I got two good passes before I realized I was the only fool shooting at this guy needless to say he took all of .2 seconds to cut through my shields, that's when I got wise turned away from this lumbering hulk, activated my FDS and thruster boost and got the hell out off dodge as I entered Super-cruise I thought with a shudder and rush of adrenaline, Wow I just picked a fight with the biggest baddest dog in the yard and I'm alive to tell about it. I usually consider myself a pretty smart Bounty Hunter never picking off more than I can chew. All I can claim as I limp to the nearest station for repairs is temporary insanity but boy will I have a story to tell over drinks at the crew lounge tonight wonder if anyone will believe me? well if not I got the flight recorder and computer logs to prove it but damnit probably gonna be grounded for weeks waiting on parts.
