33010624D OBAMBIVAS / GALOUYE TERMINAL
I found a cargo job at MALLOC / ONIZUKA RING, nothing big, but paying enough for another upgrade. At the destination, OBAMBIVAS / GALOUYE TERMINAL, I decided to take a risk and accept an offer for hunting down two pirates in the nearby MENAMBE system.
It took me a while, but I managed to track down a lone Sidewinder for the first kill.
However, while I was busy fighting, a wing of Vipers dropped in and decided to help their fellow pirate. I managed to drive one off into FSD, and by then the local authorities had shown up as well. Not wasting any time, I pumped my single torpedo into the remaining Viper.
On my return to OBAMBIVAS, an unpleasant surprise was waiting for me. Another pirate, in a Cobra, interdicted my ship. Although I had the escape vector in my sights, their interdiction was successful. Thankfully, I had enough time to divert power to shields, so their opening volley didn't do any damage. A short fight ensued, in which I once again was glad that I mounted the gimballed lasers.
One Cobra later, I was able to lay claim to around 50k credits in diverse bounties, and still have to pick up a claim in MENAMBE. Not too shabby.
