Blackwater hired me out again for some privateering in Teaka. They never tell me whom I'm working for. The profits may be small but there good none the less. We did manage to get a Anaconda carrying 483 Imperial Slaves. In return for 25 percent of its hold, we gave him a 24 hour pass on trading. All Blackwater wants is is the cargo, they don't care about taking lives. Well, for the most part if they comply.We end up giving them two options. One for 25 percent of there hold for a full 24 hour pass plus protection or a one time pass for 10 Tons of cargo per person minus our protection. Most of them tend to take the first option. They call it tribute for the freedom of trade.
On another note, we found a Viper and pulled him over. We gave him the normal spill, stop or die. I just don't get why they have to run when they know they cant escape when in comes to my Clipper. Well guess what, he ran and then he died. If they would just stop and let us scan them, we would of let them go if they had no cargo. But when they run, then we have to follow Blackwater policy. I fill sorry for the loss of life, but it just is what it is. Poor decisions.
