Had an interesting run in with a slaver. He was bearing Liberty Rogue IFFs and IDs, so I was cautious. He said the slaves in his hold were simply workers being transported 'beyond Freeport 10'. I inquired about what may be beyond the Freeport and he immediately withdrew his comment. I managed to liberate a single slave by convincing him I was going to talk with him. After I had tractored him in however, he initiated his cloaking device . I opened fire then he went poof. Perhaps next time.
The pursuit involved in chasing him took me to the west side of LD-14. I took a calm trip back only to find a Samura Vessel undocking from Stokes. I asked what he was doing here and he said he was simply exploring after a trade run. A little chit chat about where's a good spot to explore later and he took his leave. Thank goodness.
