No longer harmless...
14 Jan 2016AVON NOVA
I managed to complete another 300 data delivery missions this week and my reputation is improving. I am now classed as a "peddler" by the Pilots Federation 
Tensions between the Deep Space Clan and Liberate Ceos made travel to Ceos dangerous but provided a way for me to improve my combat rank. It happened on the way in to New Hope. I was successfully interdicted by a Cobra Mk3 that clearly didn't want data deliveries to get through. Civil War does that I guess.
Anyway I managed to dodge the barrage of laser fire until the local plod turned up. Then I tagged him with my pulse laser a couple of times and the Security Forces finished him off. I was credited with an "Assist" bounty and my status was updated to "Mostly Harmless".
That was my first taste of combat. One thing I now know now for sure - I am not a natural born killer but I can kill when needed. And for commanders it is a case of when and not if - As I am often reminded its a dangerous galaxy.
