20 Jan 2018Erinia Scantyar
Today I started of with some passenger transports in my Dolphin. I made some decent money going around Zelano, Sanna, Euryale and so on. Man! That one CEO was such a bother! First he just wanted to be brought to Sanna, but then he demanded me to purchase some tea and decided he wanted to see some icy geysirs (How annoying! 500LY additional traveling distance) Luckily he paid me very handsomely, because otherwise I´d rather had him thrown out of the airlock!After that annoyance was taken care of I needed some time alone. I took a shower back home at Mueller station and took my Type 6 out of the hangar. Yea well cargo deliveries are boring, but at least I wasn´t being annoyed by crazy passengers. *coughs* That´s what she said! I got interdicted every time I was travelling in supercruise -.- Stupid pirates! That really pised me off.
I finished my cargo stuff and docked up at home. Changed ship again. Took the Vulture. I was so mad because of those pirates! I left Mueller Station and hit my FSD for an anarchy-system. As I dropped out it was rather quiet. So far so good. I programmed the autopilot to take the ship for the asteroid belt and closed my eyes to calm myself and doze off. The ship computer woke me up just befor it was time to drop out of supercruise.
Landing on the belt I modulated my beam lasers frequency to mimick a mining laser and started chipping away at some rocks. Befor long they came. Same guys I met during the cargo run. 2 Eagles. "What have we here? A miner?" one of the pirates called on an open channel. They weren´t close enough to realize that my ship wasn´t a mining vesel yet. I activated silent running to lure them. "Hey! running away ain´t gonna work, pal!" the other pirate taunted. I remodulated my beam laser to full power and let them come close.
Here they were! I smirked. Now it was time. Vengeance! I stopped the silent run and attacked the closest one. His shields were gone and my minigun started making short work of him befor he realized what´s going on. "OMG! An ambush! Hel....!" BAM! The first pirate was sent to the void. The other one reacted and positioned himself behind me just as my shields came back up. His lasers hit me hard. I went evasive. After some turning and twisting he managed to bring my shields down to 5%. I grumbled and used one of my shield cells to reinforce my defenses. "Warning! Temperature critical! Warning! Heat damage!". "Yea yea... better then being killed. Stupid Computer!" I gnarled. The pirate came in for another aproach. Just as he started firing I switched to full reverse thrusters. He couldn´t stop fast enough. The Eagle was in front of my weapons now. Some beamy treatment later as my minigun started tuning up the music the victim called on an open channel: "Please don´t!" "Like I´d care!" I shouted at that miserable being. A few seconds later he was dust.
Satisfied and with some bounties to collect I returned back home to Mueller station. I cashed in at the local bounty office and got a promotion. Squire. Not a bad sound to it! But the best was yet to come:
As I was about to head to my apartment an imperial navy major stopped me. "Are you by any chance Ms. Scantyar?" he asked. "Yea, that´s me. What can I help you with, major?" I replied. "In fact I can help you. the empire rewards it´s friends loyality. Please take this datapad as a recognition of your service. It contains the necessary access codes for the Archenar system and privileges you to visit Capitol itself!"
"Thank you!" I was surprised. All the hard work finally started paying off.
"Please keep up the good work." the major said. "You can meet me at Dawes Hub in Archenar if you want to do some work for the empire. Have a pleasent day!" he saluted.
"You too, major!" I entered my apartment and grinned. What a nice ending to an annoying day!
