DEFECTION!!!!
01 Dec 2015Antaran
Well after over a month of being in the dock resting on my rear end i finally got word back regarding my Clipper, the damage was more severe than first anticipated and she was ready for the scrapyard. I managed to find a shipwright who was willing to pay me handsomely for her though so after a few days of negotiations we came to a deal and i walked away the owner of a trustworthy Cobra MK IV and a very healthy bank balance.While outfitting my Cobra whom i'd christened "Old Faithful", i received new orders from my CO, i was to search the surrounding systems with seek and destroy orders for a class 6 transport. It didn't take long to pick up the trail and find it's current location, once i was in range i scanned the cargo on the off chance i may have been able to earn a little extra from this run and alter the logs to Command, i was shocked to find it was carrying slaves. I hailed the ship and after an hour of speaking to it's Captain i allowed them to depart with advice on which route to take in order to avoid patrols, it turned out the slaves were actually refugees from the war who had all the legal paperwork to be classified as Imperial slaves but for some reason my link to central command wasn't registering them as such. I decided to contact my superior with an update making out like i'd only just found them, his response to my inquiries regarding the cargo was a simple "Blow them away or you'll face a severe disciplinary action", with that the communication link was shut off. This singular order and reaction made my mind up, i had the fuel to reach the closest Hudson operation station and the internal contacts to smooth over any opposition, so i decided to defect.
I've been in Hudson space for two days now and run a couple of fortification supplies before realizing there was a civil war going on within the Capitol system of Nanomam, with this i decided to put my remaining bank credits to use and kit out a Vulture for combat, i figure even when the civil war ends it will be a good earner as Hudson pays extra for bounty hunters to keep the space lanes safe.
Time to roll out and announce my presence to all those that would fight against the freedom and rights of individuals.
