Cardamine hits are one thing. Cardamine hits while riding a wave of adrenaline so high everything else pales in comparison, indescribable! Like I knew what my opponent was thinking before they did it, unbelievable. Taking a break from ferrying 'personnel', I decided to see what I could find out in Magellan. Almost as soon as the lane dropped from the sequence, an Interspace transport appears. I remember thinking, that this was a bad day for me. This target might be more than I can chew. Almost immediately, the pilot tries to run. A well-placed CD stopped that attempt dead in its tracks. Realizing I was alone, and there might be others traveling the lane between Cordova and Manchester, I directed the pilot of the transport to follow me, and he wordlessly complied.
Arriving at our destination, a random point in space far enough from the traveled routes to ensure some privacy, he start complaining and attempted to buy me off. Sticking to the protocols we'd been taught, I ordered him to drop half his cargo. Upon his refusal, I decided to ensure that I wasn't an easy target and stayed mobile, and after a short discussion he decided he was going to fight to try and escape. Dodging his relatively slow turrets, I was able to whittle his shield down, as well as eat into his hull before he surrendered and agreed to drop his cargo.
Since my little Dagger wasn't going to be able to carry all these resources, I quickly dispatched them and sent the corporate flunk on his way. I hope this'll be enough to prove to the Professorship that I am serious. Attached are the comm logs.
My heart is still hammering in my chest, but I survived and am better for it.
[13.06.2022 22:21:29] LH~JackMarshall: well hello there!
[13.06.2022 22:22:36] LH~JackMarshall: You and me are going to have a talk. Stop your engines!
[13.06.2022 22:22:36] MarcusNye: oh good lord. just what i need right now
[13.06.2022 22:22:56] LH~JackMarshall: You can either follow me, or you can choose the hard way.
[13.06.2022 22:23:06] MarcusNye: can't you just let me be?
[13.06.2022 22:23:38] LH~JackMarshall: Afraid not, my corporate minion.
[13.06.2022 22:24:03] MarcusNye: i knew this delivery was too good to be true
[13.06.2022 22:24:32] LH~JackMarshall: That's far enough, and you should've told your bosses that before you signed onto their corrupt business.
[13.06.2022 22:24:56] LH~JackMarshall: So for now, we can either agree that you drop half your cargo, and be on your merry way.
[13.06.2022 22:25:06] MarcusNye: or?
[13.06.2022 22:25:33] LH~JackMarshall: We find out which one of us wants to keep on humiliating the liberty elite more.
[13.06.2022 22:26:07] MarcusNye: look, i can give you money? half the profit of this order?
[13.06.2022 22:26:58] LH~JackMarshall: Defnitely not. Hand over half of it, or find out how serious we are about Liberty and their corrupt businesses.
[13.06.2022 22:27:50] MarcusNye: Im afraid i can't do that. i've got a family to feed *Powering turrets*
[13.06.2022 22:27:56] LH~JackMarshall: So be it. Your choice.
[13.06.2022 22:28:59] MarcusNye: wait, stop!!
[13.06.2022 22:29:02] MarcusNye: fine!
[13.06.2022 22:29:13] MarcusNye: i'll drop the cargo!
[13.06.2022 22:29:32] LH~JackMarshall: Smart move. Dump it. Now.
[13.06.2022 22:30:10] LH~JackMarshall: Now get out of my sight!
[13.06.2022 22:30:32] MarcusNye: why did you destroy it??
[13.06.2022 22:30:50] LH~JackMarshall: Those would be my reasons, be lucky you're still alive, flunk.
[13.06.2022 22:30:55] MarcusNye: I'll be making sure my bosses know about this!
[13.06.2022 22:31:06] LH~JackMarshall: -chuckles- you do that.
