Captains Log 3 April 3305
03 Apr 2019Vol Fiemies
And here I am, sneaking into my Krait Mk2, to go into the black......am I addicted? yeah maybe....so what?I launched from Helin Dock in Njiri to Do some missions for Thanatos. I did not get to this system last night.
Immediately got two INF courier missions and got them done. They paid out 235 143CR and +5INF for Thanatos.
So I decided to go get an invite from Marco Qwent the engineer.
Destination Sirius, Patterson Enterprise.
At Patterson Enterprise I could not find the mission to get invited by the engineer. So I went to the other orbital station, O’Brien Vision.
After the second try I got the mission. This Mission took me to Procyon and Hardwick Station where I had to deliver Some expansion data. No reward but the Invite from Marco Qwent. So now I have to procure some goodies for this engineer. I have to deliver 25 units of modular terminals. The only way to procure them is to complete missions where this item is the reward. Oh my.....
Feels like another grind.....but I gotta do it..
Back to Maausk I went to collect a ship that is appropriate to do the missions and carry the reward items to Marco Qwent.
18 jumps with my fighter Krait Mk2.
I scanned systems on the way to Maausk for some Scan Data, and collected some Grade 5 Materials at the High Emissions signals
At Maausk I ran into some buddies from the Squadron and we had a drink at the Bar. Had a laugh or two as I'm not very talkative but listens a good deal. Hehe
One of the guys got his leg amputated, (omg) but he is all in good spirit. I'm happy for him. I will have to get behind the whole story later. When they all left I jumped to get to work on my personal mission.
I decided to take out the Krait Phantom as I have not spent much time in it and still need to get to know it. I must admit that the ship was a great disappointment to me compared to the ASP Explorer, my number one ship. Maybe I can be convinced when using it.
First stop Rhea System to get some PAX Mission with the Modular Terminals as reward option. I got a mission with The East Galaxy Company. They sound nice and legit isn't it? Well......NOT!
4 passengers got into my ship into the nicely decorated business class cabins I specially installed for this mission. The deal as Ms. Brigitte Duncan stated is to get them to some sight seeing locations, three sites all in all, and deliver them safely back to this station. They promised not be any trouble. "..you would not even know we are here" she said. The shit got real the moment I went through the airlock. You know, I should have noticed something before I signed and agreed on the contract, but no, me trusty old self just saw the money and goodies building towards my goal. it seems I do not learn from previous mistakes.
As I exited through the airlock, a voice over the internal coms shouted: "...do not let them scan us!! what the...." yeah well too late Lady!
Covis: Scan detected
Deploy heatsink! Too late!!!
COVIS: Ship under attach!
WARNING: BOUNTY INCURRED! ILLEGAL PASSENGERS 300CR
BOOST.....BOOST engage FSD
COVIS: Shields offline...
whaaaat!!!
COVIS: Hull integrity...….
Yes I can see!!!! 45%!!!! why would this ship not jump!
Then at last......4....3.....2....1....
Bloody hell!!
I was sweating in such a short time! I'm not even this worked up in a combat situation, but it goes to tell.....it is a dangerous universe, no people are dangerous! for f.... sakes! Why did the freaking woman not tell me that they are wanted by the authorities.
What's done is done. I need the goodies, the money, nah not so much.
First stop BD+34 1378 System to scan the Visitors Beacon. At least I know now that we are hunted, yes WE! so finger on the heatsink activation button..
As we entered the system, I scooped some fuel and as expected......Interdiction.... I decided to evade and avoid.. Got to the Visitors beacon at B2 Jumped into Normal speed, scanned the beacon the moment I could target it, slightly off the throttle......and BOOST! Lets get out of here!
Nothing happened luckily. Next stop an Interstellar Factor Facility. Haraka has one according to INARA. One system jump over. Black Man Station!
Got there in one peace. First had to repair the ship, and then go pay my bounty/fine of 300Cr at the Interstellar Factor. The repairs costed me a buddle! As I was passing the passengers in the ships passageways, I could here them mumble and grumble in their compartments. I hope they pay me more when we get back in one peace to the station.
Oh freaking hell! I still have to get back to the Station in Rhea where they shot me to pieces, without dying or landing in a Brig somewhere.
Destination CD-61 1439 to scan the visitor beacon there. This time without any events. Next...Ither System to scan the visitor beacon. Also no events.
Back to Rhea then.....Finger on the heatsink activator.....No need, all went well. No scan or encounters...
Brigitte Duncan paid up, without any bonuses, and gave me the voucher for 20 tons of Modular Terminals. 3 072 880 Cr (maybe not so bad)
I went to Marco Qwent Research and delivered the 20 Tons of goodies. so now I need only another 5 tons.
after running around quite a bit I got another mission to take Shayla Daugherty to view some geysers. This time I made sure that she is not wanted by any factors in this Galaxy! Smooth sailing and delivered back to LHS 3836 at Gell-Man Station. She paid me 1 967 892 Cr and 33 tons of Modular Terminals. Nice!
Last stop before going back to Maausk is Marco Qwent to deliver and unlock/unleash his engineering skills on my ships powerplant.
I Log off at Maausk Station after docking safely and without any further events.
Scorpio out.
