“Illegal activity log #001”

3306-02-04, Hotel Vogelsang outpost, Akkadia.Today I ran some more passenger-missions. The usual crap. Business persons who only say my ship is to noisy, after they disembark. Some tourists who want to go to some luxury bar on Ramaswamy ring, after which we had to clean the whole cabin from the freakin confetti they sprayed everywhere. We even had some rich kids who urinated in the vase next to the minibar! Sometimes transporting passengers feels worse than carrying biowaste. And then, at my uncles home station Malpighi Port no less, I get a mission to transport prisoners.
First of all, their treatment is appalling. The private prison system hires guards to tie the prisoners up and isn’t even willing to pay their guards to escort the prisoners to their destination. Nope, they dump them in the chairs and take off. And that’s not the worst.
I sat in my seat, thinking about the poor schmucks being dumped in my hold, when I got some message. Some dude, clearly with a fake name, who sends me a message which I can’t trace. Asking me to take my prisoners to some nondescript location, so he can sell them into slavery. The prisoners aren’t even all on board yet, and he offers me this shit. And, to make matter even worse, he offers me a measerly price to become an accomplice in this crime! Purely the fact that he has the balls to offer this, for such a low price, tells me, this happens an awful lot. Of course I declined and reported the incident to the local authorities. I get a message back and you’ll never guess what it said…
“Are you serious, or is this a joke? Get real.”
That just blew my mind! I have no clue where to report this madness. After I had safely dropped my prisoners off at their location, I went looking for a war. I need to do something! So I switched to the Harris and scoured the Galaxy map. I found the perfect war. My friends from the Ukranian Pilots Federation are fighting for their lives in an Independent system. I don’t know what it is, but Ukraine seems to be used for a lot of shady business. So I have decided to go over to HIP 13750 and help them out for a while. If I can’t trust the galaxy to make itself a better place, I can at least try and influence my own little slice of it.
