Catch One, Get One Free

Just another ordinary day, hauling data, the odd bit of cargo, searching for the odd Pirate and maybe some Alliance Rank - seeing as I don't have any, this should probably be my priority, but hey.Travelled to HIP 29312 to look for two wanted Terrorists - using the Python, as the Krait is currently... away... somewhere? I really should get someone to jump that to where I'm now based. Maybe. At some point. Found terrorist on FSD and went into the attack. Forgot that the Python's multicannon were on pintles, not turrets like the Krait's. Quickly dispatched enemy in a Cobra IV anyway, but when I closed in to scan the debris, lo and behold the other Terrorist I was just about to start searching for popped in right behind me and opened fire. Quick turn, put him on the nose, hold down fire... One less Viper in the Galaxy and two bounties claimed within seconds of each other.
Second wreckage was more useful than the first, so gathered up what I could and hit Ohm Station for some cargo to haul back for a bit of profit on the side. Turns out the place is run by an Allie Agent and has a fair collection of ships in the shop. Might move out there at some point as a base...
For now? Cargo to drop, payments to collect, gunner I can't even use to pay, bald head to polish, etc... Just with another million in the bank for my troubles.
