One.Eyed.Eddie is a rogue pirate who drinks too much.
one day a merc and a BH decided that killing him right outside Buffalo base was fine.
so he sent a message to his cousin Nick who was the XO of RepEx Sipping 007 to help him out of prison.
Nick arrived on the scene a while later to see what he could do only to find that the lawful authorities had already dealt with the overeager BH.
Nick was so happy that he gave just about everyone he saw a reward of some sort... including a young fellow who was pulling faces at the overeager BH.
In Sirius space where there are lawful authorities present, BH and Mercs need permission to engage enemies, it was great that day to see the law take care of things.
If the law puts their foot down in RP and considers un-authorized killings as vigilanti'ism and thus murder, a lot of the oorp nonsense might stop.
Truth be told it was probably ok to kill Eddie that day because he is a pirate.. so thats not my point, my point is... EVERYONE who ignores the authority of the lawful authorities should be considered a criminal... after all they too have broken the law...no?
