Greetings brothers,
This is your favourite tax collector Vennamis with a report from "Commune fund raising campaign" which proved once more a success. I won't be going into too many details.
First thing I encountered was a Cryter convoy, but trying to get to a safe distance in case of an ambush most of them got away, only one staying behind. I think they used him as bait *laughs*. Anyway, it was an empty "Bison" class trader and he had to pay only two millions SC. Next, a small "Behemoth" carrying 594 VIPs came my way. I wasn't going to ask much, but he didn't want event to stop. So for that I had to turn his ship into scrap metal. Another trader that had to be granted safe passage by me was a "Mammoth" hauling 2165cu of Gin. Two millions SC was the tax. Another trader that I encountered was an ALG "Stork" with 4920cu of Boron. I was brief with him and two more millions SC were deducted from his bank account.
Lucky me, another big trader came along. It was a Zoner "Ryuujin" full of Industrial Hardware. I wanted five millions SC from him, but he begged not to kill him because of not having that much money left after purchasing the cargo. I was a good boy and let him live after he sent me two millions SC. Next on the list is an Ageira "Atlas" carrying 4136cu of Light Arms. He didn't comply to my requests and...you know what happened next to his ship. After this one a "Serenity" class transport bumped into me. He had 3515cu of Copper ore in his cargo. Because he had a fairly profitable cargo I ask for more money than he had due to purchasing that ore. In the end, he gave me all the money he had left which was not too much unfortunately.
Right when I wanted to head home and call it a day I caught two more traders. The first one was a Kishiro "Stork" with his cargo full of Neon and had to pay me five millions SC and as soon as this one departed the second trader showed up. It was a "Shire" with 4103cu of Superconductors. Unfortunately for him, not complying to my orders was a bad idea. His ship is now space debris near the New York jumpgate in Colorado system.
I will return to continue my "fund rising" for our goals and keep you updated. From now on I will call it "The Omicron Orphan Initiative fund rising campaign" *laughs*. Maybe traders will not try to run anymore from me.
Vennamis out!
