Despite recent, events. I feel the need to report on some relatively normal activities, along with some....odd ones.
First, I was flying to Cali Base in Tau-23 to meet a GC Contact who had some information on a recent ICMG move in 31. Not incredibly imortant, but something to note. Unfortunately, I ran late. Upon entering into 23 two Bounty Hunter Manta's were in the immediate vacinity. Of Course the whole shpeel of "Theres a Bounty on your head Adain!" went through. They both began arguing about who would fight me. For a moment I believed they would just finish each other off. Sadly, one yeilded to the other. And so I engaged a Bunter I knew I could not best. His fighting style was incredibly unique....including Star Killer Torpedo's....Which did quite some damage at times, when I wasnt able to dodge. Regardless, communications, primary energy output, GunCam's, inertial dampeners, and most of my fuel reserve, were down. Being only 300 meters from the Tau-37 jump hole, I disengaged and lurched for the anomaly. I made it out, and realized that he didnt have any Cruise Disruptors. I was in cruise, and a fellow outcast disabled my pursuer. Then continued to Alpha alongside myself. The Bounty Hunter was quite aggrevated. And chose to hack my personal comm's and vent. *laughs*
While planet-side, still moving my things to Corsica, I recieved a Message from my Step-Father. He's quite elderly, and the effects of Cardamine; age wise, are lessening. His health was failing, and, since my brothers disappearance, is depending on his only remaining son to keep him company. Well, he is unable to travel in space, his frail body cannot overcome getting out of this bed, let alone flying a ship. So. He *voice falters slightly* signed his old IR-7 Raven's Talon over to me. Its a fine ship. I plan on taking care of it.
Just yesterday I re-scheduled a meeting with said informant. *sigh* And once again, there was a bounty Hunter stalking the Tau-37 Jump Hole. It was the Hunter that yeilded to the other. He cordially laughed, and told me I had money on my head. I scoffed, because coming in behind me was Stefan Mortensen. I engaged the Bounty Hunter, and Stefan did likewise. After some jousts, two mines made quick work of his insufficiently armoured vessel.
Afterwards, we went in search of miners. We were near Cali, at the time, and my informant had left. The Southern mining site was closest, so we headed for it. Entering the vacinity, two BMM vessels came on sensors. One was an official member, and the other must have been an independant or recruit. I contacted them, wondering why no shipments from any company in Bretonia had come through in several months. He didnt answer with anything relevant. So I fined him 2 million. He wasnt willing to pay because excuses and "Our agreement with your government does not permit you to-" began spilling out of his mouth. So, we decided to force him out of 23. Which we accomplished.
