After escorting a trader from Leeds to New York with a hold full of refugees, I took the time to peruse the local bounty boards. With the information garnered I discovered that one gentleman who appeared on my scanner was indeed a bountied target of opportunity, falling under the broad spectrum bounty on the Lane Hackers.
Dwight Novak lured me into the Pittsburg Debris Field where, I imagine, he foresaw a battle without outside influences where he could deal with me quietly and without issue. He refused to return with me to a local police station and provide himself to the authorities so my hand was forced.
After a short while, a strange gentleman decided to join the battle against me. I was forced to put his vessel out of commission before resuming my efforts against the Raider. It took time, but I managed to draw the Broadsword into position for a final shot by my supernova cannon.
As an addendum, while awaiting permission to dock on Planet Los Angeles a slave trader in a Pirate Train passed me by. I managed to scan him, though he docked with Planet Los Angeles, jumping the queue I might add, before I could do anything more. I informed him over the comm channels that the least he could do was offer those poor souls in his cargo hold a good holiday! There was no reply.
