Quick Commodity Gig

Today I met my friend, CMDR RichiExec and he told me something interesting - in Edenapel system, in Sleater port station, they miss some commodity and they value it a lot - Bauxite. Even in star system 10LY far from there, they have it for over 13K credits cheaper than in Sleater port - can you believe it? So I jumped in my Anaconda - Soulseller. Damn I hate this ship so much. I really prefer much faster ship with some juicy hardpoints on it. But bussiness is bussiness.So I traveled to Olsen Station in Isleta and purchased Bauxite here and traveled back. Anyway, to make some serious money, I had to travel many times. I didn't wanted to travel one way with empty vessel. By market statistics I found out gold is very valuable on Olsen Station. Unfortunatelly, on Sleater Port they didn't had too much. So I improvised - and purchased Uranium. I don't like very much transporting radioactive material, but this ship is big enought, to survive even if some container gets broken.
On my last travel, with gold and uranium, I got interdiction. It was serious one. I'm pretty sure it was some large and heavy ship. For fuel saving reasons, I don't have any weapons on soulseller, so it was question of surviving, to avoid this interdiction. Thanks god, I made it. It was very easy 24 milions credits, just for simple transportation. But you know - you need money to invest in goods first. Thanks god I have squadron friends, borrowing me some money.
In exchange I had to make some missions to help them rise their influence in Hahgwe system. Some stupid pirate destroyed ship with very expensive liquor on it. As you can imagine, every container from ship flew different way, so I had to collect goods on some moons and one planet with low gravity. I was on my favourite ship - Slayer. But capacity reserved for cargo is only 8 and I had to transfer 12 containers of liquor.
So, I traveled to the first moon, get four of them, and got back to the space port. I returned their goods and expected to restock my limpets, but for gods sake - they didn't had any limpets on this base. So, on my next stop I collected liquor in my SRV - Scarrab, saving my last four limpets for last four containers.
As you can imagine it didn't work well. On my last stop, dunno why, two of my limpets malfunctioned. So I had to make it old fashioned way and collect them with SRV as well. Life is hard...
Anyway, my debt is paid, squadron - my family, is now happy, not losing influence and I made up some credits. Good and of the day, isn't it?
