After the Orca incident

It's been a few weeks after my "misunderstandings" with the system security @ [CLASSIFIED]. I did get up after it. I heard there were some awesomely well paying smuggling operation going down in [CLASSIFIED2] so i decided i get a cheapest hauler i can fit for a proper haulage. I had made money a bit and was flying a decent Cobra again, but i decided that the cash from the jobs would be good enough to sell that bounty boat and get a Type 6 Transporter.I fitted it with basic cargo compartment, i knew i might get some fines with it, but the money, oh the money it was like a pirate's treasure chest. I didn't care about anything, not the ship i had, not the people i'd have to cross, i only saw the profit. I took one full hold of goods and set my course to deliver the goods. And it was all worth it. The first trip made me enough to get an Asp, longer jump, almost as much space, better to avoid getting fines and i went on with the jobs. Soon i had enough to get a Python and some time later i had enough for a decently fitted Anaconda.
I had been working almost without sleep for a while and it did pay off, i was still thinking about one last trip to make money for better fits, but at that time, there was way too many smugglers wanting the same missions, it really was starting to get too crowded and the trip prices were dropping, i took one last load, it wasn't even a full hold, but something to make the last from this "gold rush".
I am now back on track, still almost broke, but i have better ships, witch means i can take better jobs, more dangerous jobs. Boy it feels good.
At the moment i'm helping on some station building project by delivering metal, completely legit job, for a chance, just delivering full loads of gold, litium and what not to the station at Kaushpoos. Easy, but not very profitable. Still it feels nice for once to do thing legit. I heard there's a bonus in it too, for those who deliver will get bonuses for the amounts they have been delivering. As far as i know, they usually keep their promises and i heard the bonus really is worth all this trouble to fly out here. I do hope so.
So like i said, i guess i did get up again after the crash. I'm not a quitter!
