Fitted out the Asp-X and flew down to Col 285 Sector CC-K a38-2. It was, indeed, an amazing concentration of LTD's. Within an hour I had filled the Asp-X with 96 tonnes of refined LTD's. Rix Station was over 400LY distance and the journey there saw only two interdiction attempts. With bated breath I read on the FTL-securenet that the price had dropped from 1.6Mcr per tonne to 900Kcr per tonne. I was almost there. Should I change course to another system 280LY away or take the last 5 jumps. I went anyway. Glad I did because the broker still found me a sale for 1.6Mcr per tonne. With a cool 150Mcr added I went to Ix and bought a Fer De Lance from a Long Ri Yui owned shipyard with the 15% discount. Flew it back to Peckolleric picking up a few bounties on the way. The comfort of the Python was longed for but I persisted and stored "Loup Garou" in the hangar.

Blight had struck a few Razorback systems. I took off, space-trucking, to aid them in dealing with the crop failures. Added to that an Outbreak occurred in Nusakan. That drew a lot of my attention as well. Put in over 100 jumps of cargo mostly in the python to aid these systems. It was a long day but felt good to be helping.

More space-trucking and picking up contracts. The Blight has ended but those systems economies took a hard blow and have began to Bust. Trading doesn't help them so I took a few key contracts. For some reason they were mostly asking for planetary data stealing missions. I suspect they want evidence of who introduced the Blight with an aim to take revenge. A faction has moved into Ceri at the same time as pirates are attacking just about every vessel that tries to supercruise intra-system. Comfwagen took out a dozen with some careful power management. Something is brewing in Razorback space.
