Another day at work. This mornin I went out from Alcatraz for my usual "tax" collections. Been tracking lots of activity in and out of Ontario, decided to set up in close proximity to the New York jump gate so I could tap into some of the shipments goin through. Didn't take long to find my first customer, a guy flyin the good ship [*USI*]Champlain[E] for Universal. Had a big load of salvage hardware headin straight for Alberta, so I gave him the usual fee but for some reason he insisted payin more so I indulged him. Just as we sealed the deal, the navy gunboat LNS-Marathon showed up, lookin for trouble. I called up the [R]-Diamons.and.Spades for backup and as we were about to start shootin, half of the friggin navy appeared. I'm talkin battlecruisers and more gunships. They couldn't get in range of our fighters, so they just sat there blocking the lanes and throwin out their usual threats at us. Since we couldn't do much against their wall of capital ships we decided to pull back.
I decided to keep going and found another place with less heat. After I relocated, another Universal ship with call-sign [*USI*]SanAntonio[E] popped up. Same deal as the last Universal guy, but this one thought he could get away without payin. Had to chase him all the way to the Sierra ice field, but I caught up to him with no major issues and charged him extra for the acrobatics. Just as I was starting to make good money again, the police caught onto my new operation and brought the battleship DCI-M.Brannigan[SC] along. That's where I decided to pull back again and retire for the day. All in all I'm happy with today's earnings, but if are to keep this up we gotta get some bigger tools for the those damn capital ships.
