Destination: Contari Lance Communique Systems ----------------------------------------------
Hola!
Been flying around Tau-23 for a fair bit of time. I was quite amused by the freedom with which the Independant Miners Guild are stealing the Lance's resources in there, and hauling it to strengthen the economy of other houses. I managed to stumble upon a few unfortunate miners and haulers, not to mention some idiots who tried to try their hands at disrupting the Lance's operations. They all got dealt with in an appropriate manner.
I came across this GMG[size=11] vessel moving through Tau 23, while on regular patrol. He refused to stop, when told to, and was dealt[size=11] with accordingly. Next in line is this [size=11]unfortunate miner who was having quite a nice and quiet day until I showed up. He was extorted.[/size][/size][/size]
After a few hours of lurking around the bar in Cali, I moved out once again to find quite a big group of people involved in a mining operation. The Interspace[size=11] vessel was extorted and the hauler working for the miners was also taxed[size=11]. While I was involved in a chat of some sorts with the miner, who was mining for both of these vessels, a bomber class vessel, working for the Independant Miners Guild[size=11] intervened. With him as cover, the miner fled away from the spot. He tried[size=11] to put up a fight, but never really looked like he could pull off a victory. He was swept aside[size=11] almost immediately.[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]
I took off from Cali, the next day, to try and scout into Kusari. I met a Freelancer[size=11] vessel carrying Niobium ore through Kyushu. I intercepted it, and the captain was generous enough to to pay up[size=11] a hefty sum. I had to turn back to Tau 37 following a distress call from a Junker requesting assistance. By the time I reached there, the Junker had managed to safely land in the Freeport. But I came across a group of strange people near the Freeport, with motives unknown. There was a Carrier class vessel flying under the Zoner[size=11] colors. Upon scanning of the vessel, I found a Jump Drive[size=11] in it's hold. While investigating, another strange, and rather, a very big Zoner[size=11] came by and both of them decided to moor by the Freeport.[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]
I moved through Nagano, Rishiri, Hokkaido and then to New Tokyo. I found an Interspace affiliated vessel, but couldn't really trouble him, as he was under the cover of planetary defense system of Planet New Tokyo and the nearby Roppongi Station. But he sure seemed to be aware[size=11] of our threat. I saw the same vessel I had met in Kyushu a few hours earlier, when on my way back to Cali. He had Side Arms in his hold, and since, I personally found him not a big harm to us, as well as, being cooperative, I left him with a small amount[size=11] to cover my repairs encountered during my trip into Kusari. I proceeded to dock on Cali and headed to the bar then, for since, it has been a very long day for me.[/size]
