It has been an interesting one for sure. Navigating the Taus and Kusari space was a breeze as always. However, once I arrived at the eastern borders of Kusari and into the Sigmas I had to do some quick thinking. Near sectors 4G scanners alerted me to presence of two [KNF] forces about 15k out, I diverted course and thanks to Kunashir cloud lost them.
I arrived shortly in a system known as "Omicron Theta", which thankfully had another freeport. I made a short stop to refuel and sync my navigational map and followed the high amount of traffic passing though the system. After having consulted some Zoner pilots on Freeport 9, I made my way to "Omicron-74" and then finally to "Omicron Delta".
Upon emerging from the jumphole, multiple alerts went off on my scanner. A pilot with call sign "Pax.Rhomana", who was firing cruise disrupters in rapid succession as if it was his first time behind a ship's control systems, forced me to stop. He went on something about DROPs being illegal and finally threatened to open fire if I did not drop 3214 units of it. In order to avoid total loss of these DROPs I complied and then made my way to Freeport 11.
The station is in a terrible state. One did not need scan reports to show the damage, just by looking at the station you could see heavy damage. When I arrived, the base was being guarded by a fleet of Zoner capital assets and other freelancers. My presence and the Council banner itself in the system was a shock to all pilots, wondering what could a Council ship possibly doing so far from home. Nevertheless, they were happy to see another transport bringing in aid.
I have completed the delivery of the DROPs, or rather what was left of them. I again had to consult the Zoners on the Freeport 11 to find a secondary route out of the system, in order to avoid unnecessary firefight with these Core pilots. I re-synced my navigational map with the information obtained from the helpful pilots on Freeport 11 and headed to "Omicron Minor" jumphole. Scanners picked up an enormous structure next to the jumphole. I have taken scans that may be of great value to our scientists and ingénieurs.
There was no trouble on the way back to Toulouse.
Extrême caution should be taken while traversing these "Omicron" systems, should the need ever arise again.
