Here come the reports on Colorado Big Game, as promised. These two traders were encountered while I was flying with Starlighter.
Target: Transport.Galveston, no affiliation, Universal Shipping ID
Cargo: Mixed and nowhere near capacity. (Nothing worthwhile - Screen here - picasaweb.google.com/118388966437439004810/ColoradoBigGamePathsEvent#5762250675446102674)
Ship Type: Bison class transport
Destination: Pueblo Station to rest for the night. Normally he goes all over Sirius, transporting trade lane parts for Ageira.
Notes: Donated to XA, claiming to sympathize (look in previous report for records of where the credits went).
Target: Timothy_Wijk, no affiliation, Universal Shipping ID
Cargo: Plutonium (4193)
Ship Type: Bison class transport
Destination: Harrisburg
Notes: Came in offering to pay us (called us the border patrol), naturally, we declined. After that, he tried to talk his way out, claiming that his Plutonium powers Liberty Nuclear Reactors. Regardless of whether it really would have or not, he openly admitted trading in Kusari goods, claiming he really didn't have a choice. Eventually, I grew tired of his machinations and ordered him to drop his cargo. He dropped the cargo, and blew it up too. As a result of this rudeness, I recommend we disable all of his weapons and leave our names scorched across his hull the next time he dares to pass through Colorado.
Egg-Eater signing out.

Said the pirate to the merchant: Your money or your life?
Merchant: What was the question?
Pirate: Pay or Die!
Merchant: That's not a question.
Pirate: Hand over 2 mil you corporate flunky, or be atomically disgronified!
Merchant: Sorry, I can't hear you, too busy docking.
Pirate: Wha... Dang it. *Turns to the new recruits* And that is why you shoot the trader who refuses to cut his engines. You just have to make sure you asked them to stop, and threatened them properly before you space them. Also, record your conversations in case the dead come back to complain. That's how it works here folks. Now go out and cut yourself a piece of the corporate pie!
