Heikkinen here,

Conducted standard operations in California System.

First thing caught in the fishnet was actually a Maltese transport, filled to the brim with the obvious. Yes, traveling via trade lane system. Bastard didn't seem to give two shits about being on a radar of every glowie in twenty light-years range. You think I'm making that crap up? Just listen to the log. Is this normal here, by the way?

[18.08.2024 10:31:09] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Are you serious?
[18.08.2024 10:31:15] MNMSV-Diciotti: What about?
[18.08.2024 10:31:20] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Trade lanes. Really?
[18.08.2024 10:31:24] MNMSV-Diciotti: Hell yeah!
[18.08.2024 10:31:29] MNMSV-Diciotti: Who's gonna stop me?
[18.08.2024 10:31:50] MNMSV-Diciotti: I don't see no damned pilots around!
[18.08.2024 10:32:14] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Do you really think they need visual on you to track you ship?
[18.08.2024 10:32:26] MNMSV-Diciotti: Of course not. But no one's doing shit about it either.
[18.08.2024 10:32:32] MNMSV-Diciotti: Laws are only laws if you can enforce 'em.
[18.08.2024 10:32:34] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Every damn glowie in this sector is trangulating your sorry ass.
[18.08.2024 10:32:42] MNMSV-Diciotti: Heheh... They can try.
[18.08.2024 10:32:52] MNMSV-Diciotti: Baby's a blockade runner, hermano!
[18.08.2024 10:32:58] MNMSV-Diciotti: Seeya around!
[18.08.2024 10:33:03] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: It better be.

Another catch, barerly more worthwile. A Cryer Mastodon. Empty, of course... Still, corpo pilot was happy to share his flight data with us. I'm sure it will come in handy.

[18.08.2024 10:52:27] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: WEll!
[18.08.2024 10:52:33] Abstergo: Oh. This is unexpected.
[18.08.2024 10:52:36] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Papers please, bitch!
[18.08.2024 10:52:54] Abstergo: Scan first.
[18.08.2024 10:53:26] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Pilot, give me your papers.
[18.08.2024 10:53:45] Abstergo: Certainly. What papers do you require, kind sor?
[18.08.2024 10:53:48] Abstergo: sir*
[18.08.2024 10:54:11] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Crew manifest, Fightplan.
[18.08.2024 10:54:48] Abstergo: The Abstergo has a crew complement of 30. 5 pilots, 25 auxilliary.
[18.08.2024 10:55:03] Abstergo: Our destination is Syracuse Station in Colorado.
[18.08.2024 10:55:30] Abstergo: At the time being our cargo bays are empty since we are due for redeployment.
[18.08.2024 10:55:33] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Last port of call?
[18.08.2024 10:55:54] Abstergo: Cordova Station.
[18.08.2024 10:56:59] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: Go away. Thank you for being absolutely useless to me.
[18.08.2024 10:57:02] [OOC] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: thank*
[18.08.2024 10:57:15] Abstergo: I could say the exact same thing about you.
[18.08.2024 10:57:32] XA-FRS-Trunk.Of.Liberty: ?: We will make sure to put the data you provided for a good use.
[18.08.2024 10:58:15] Abstergo: I hope I'll get rid preety soon of the nasty pleasure of meeting you.

Still, Trunk of Liberty did not return to base empty handed. I managed to source 860 units if H-Fuel, recover 2 escape pods containing our regulars, intercept prisoner transport and retake 10 prisoners, including their guard and a crate of... well ... whatever this crap is.
