Commander Adrella//Providence//3306-03-03 - A little mining
03 Mar 2020Adrella
After a few weeks away, I caught a transport back to Geston Gateway. I headed back out to a ringed world I knew had a high concentration of LTDs, and made my approach. However, I noticed an Anaconda, called the Event Horizon, take up position behind me. Not being in the mood for pirates, I cut a tight line around the inner ring to try and throw CMDR Allin. When that didn't work, I hailed him, asking his intentions. He said all he wanted was to scan me. I only had a haul of limpets, in prep for my LTD core mining. So I could have stopped, but had no intention to let this piracy happen. Not to mention, all he'd have to do is follow me into the ring and wait until I had some cargo before threatening me again. I high-waked out of the system, and then again, thinking it would be enough to shake him. He followed me through 5 more systems before I lost him. I headed back to the system and managed to begin my mining unhindered.
After about an hour, I decided I'd had enough. I headed for the closest port with the highest price and made a healthy 45 mil profit. I also bought another DBX, named the Surprise. She'll be my attempt to build a dedicated, low-heat emission smuggling craft.
I then headed back to Atfero. I've spent enough time away from SJC space, it's time to get back into the fight.
