So I reported to the Enforcers this morning. The Principium has been impounded. There's a System Authority Ship Docked here- Keelback by the look of it. Named the 'Nemesis'. Weird name for an Authority ship if you ask me.
Bursch Enterprise sent a communication to the camp that a ship registered to a dead Pilot has been logged as docking and leaving station on a number of occasions. It took them a few days to confirm the ship ID and that my dad had in fact passed away and this wasn't a paperwork mix-up. Now the Principium has been registered as 'Wanted' within system, the authorities assumed the ship had been stolen as it was still flying as an 'Independent Commander' under a Pilots Federation licence.
Meanwhile, I was out of system fulfilling the source and return contracts, none the wiser that I had been tagged for pickup by the authorities. And rather than disappearing into the Black like all those anti-heroes you see in the Holo-Vids, what did I do? Flew the Principium straight back to the Authorities, carrying a full hold of cargo and neatly delivering the fugitive piloting the ship.
In camp I was met by Olivia Rodriguez, an Enforcer of Omnipol, tasked with detaining me and taking me to the Pillar of Fortitude.
She was, at least, kind, didn't yell or loose her temper. She very calmly and politely explained that what I was doing was illegal, that impersonating a registered CMDR is a punishable offence, and that I would be detained upon the Pillar of Fortitude until I either posted Bail or served my sentence- 2 years minimum.
How could i be so STUPID?
I was escorted by armed guard, out of the settlement, in full view of the inhabitants, to the awaiting transport. It was only a short trip to the Pillar of Fortitude. My backpack and possessions were taken, and i was confined to a cell, thankfully alone.
First Day- I had to spend listening to a Lecture on the futility of committing crimes within the Federation - I swear this stuff borders on Propaganda!
Second Day - I got to speak to a representative and Councillor, Lucinda Wei. She tells me my bails been posted - 2000 credits. She told me this like it was good news, big beaming face and everything. That soon got wiped once I told her I had no friends or family to post my bail.
Right when she finds out
She did give me some good news though, despite the obvious fraud, she said the local authorities were pushing for leniency. Saying it was a cry for help since my parents died. May get an even shorter sentence than I originally thought.
*Sighs*
Welp, back to my bunk, not like there's anything else to do for a while.
