Name: Edward Moore Ship name: [*USI*]Plymouth[S] Participating Vessel: [*USI*]Elko[E]
Report:
I was running the new contract we have with BMM and ran into our usual pirate. You know him, we all do. New name, same ship. This time it's "Tavros". Seems he knows about the contract, how I don't know. I mean, we recently lost a member of our team, but he shouldn't have access now to our internal communications but it's still suspicious.
Anyway, normally I would just pay a pirate because it's not worth risking our lives and putting in an insurance claim, but I made an exception here - we opened fire per my order. I lost my ship, a new one is en route now. Elko seemingly survived but as yet I don't know how, he either escaped, was let off or he paid him, I don't know. But I didn't want to pay this fool. Some pirates genuinely have to work for a living on the lanes, I occasionally feel sorry for them - but this guy is explicitly attacking us and demanding extortionate amounts of credits.

[30.07.2019 19:10:04] Tavros: The one that is building a base in Omega-3.
[30.07.2019 19:10:15] Tavros: You wouldn't want Hessians to know about it?
[30.07.2019 19:10:24] Tavros: Would be bad for business.
[30.07.2019 19:10:26] Tavros: Indeed.
[30.07.2019 19:10:30] [*USI*]Plymouth[S]: The hell would you know about base building in the Omegas, you're just a dirty pirate.
[30.07.2019 19:10:41] Tavros: Omega's are my home, fool!
