I'm sorry... my last report is a bit overdue. But it speaks of a great catch!
Where shall I start...
For some reason I had a full squad of Marines aboard. I was informed that they ... oh right! The Neferti ... haha... hm, sorry. It was a supply run. Our storage on Akabat was running low on Pharmaceuticals and medication so we went to our friends at Freeport 9.
We never made it...
We found an artifact smuggler near Freeport 11. A Corsair one too. Wheel.of.Time, my gunboat escort, turned around and questioned him before we knew of his "Trinkets" or so he called hem. What we got from the scans was... well... they were all active. The ship was identified as "Tren.de.artifacto" subtle... real subtle... Commander Davids quickly made it clear that we had a problem. The poor Corsair didn't really know what he was into either... As soon as he knew they were active ones, he wanted to get rid of them ASAP. So he gave all ... 1500 active ones to us. The beam transfer took like 2 seconds... but here comes the best part...
Oh and did I tell about the Nomad gunboat that popped up behind me? Jeez! Good thing the Neferti can take a punch! Commander Davids made short work of that thing.
But now... the best part.. My hold was stacked with Nomad 'trinkets' and marines and their supplies for... 2 weeks?
No way i could haul more. So hussled back to Akabat, engines on full. Here it comes... Then traffic control steps in. " You are to divert to Taba station" they said "for immediate unloading" they said. I asked how long it would take them "Ooh only 10 minutes... just stand by on the landing pad Tanaka" they said...
It took 'em 50 minutes, 50!
Commander Davids stayed at the Freeport to chat with this Rheinlander that had arrived there. And I got stuck on Taba, waiting for the unloading cavalry and the white jackets shouting "Gently! Gently!" and a bunch of laughing marines... you get the picture...
And of course by the time they were done... Commander Davids was back with better things to do.
Can't these guys in storage go after their stuff themselves next time? At least the Neferti got to spit some plasma and take a few punches! Poor Girl.
