Yeah, so....
I wuz respondin' to this wierd call in New York about a rogue Spyglass yesterday, which by da way, I aint too sure about, Kapish?
Anywayz, So this guy, right, name on scanner is, get this, Easy.To.Detect, he sez, 'yo! dere's a Spyglass in New York' right?
So I sez "Yeah?" an' he sez "yeah." Oh, also he says I should know him, right? But I sure don't. So...
*twists toothpick between teeth*
I tellz him 'where are ya, hepcat?' an he sez 'the Badlands'
So I pad in dere all kinds o quiet, right? thinkin' this could be an ambush.
Meantime dis mook's tellin me 'the glass is by Fort Bush,' an 'the glass is by here n dere...' So now I know this is an ambush, cause aint no other chatter nowhere, right?
So'z I make for Buffalo airspace, just ter be safe right, when long range scanners pick up activity in Vespucci.
*gnaws toothpick*
Well I aint no slouch so I lit 'em up hot and burned fer Magellan, Hoping maybe I could raise the Metropolis.
When I got near the Vespucci jumphole I sees this MNS destroyer hoverin' nearby. I busted my arse tryin to raise the Metropolis, but got nuttin'.
So I slide my tiny friggin Bayonet up on him and act all tough, see?
*pulls out toothpick, inspecting the frayed end*
"Help ya?" sez i.
"Tryin ta find Leniex." sez her comms guy.
"Not today." sez me, wondering if I'll have time to take a last breath. "Hellfire legion has mandated death to any who enter thier cloud without credentials. And a strong alliance aint good enough. Not without a Hellfire escort tellin me otherwise" i sez, starin this kid down through the comscreen.
*chomps down on unmolested part of toothpick*
Another ping in Vespucci gets my attention, and I sez, "You're welcome ta stay within escort distance of me, but i gots biness in dere. Stay. Outta. Leniex." an I pop the jumpdrive, see?
Once I get inta Vespucci, I says to this guy Avalon, whos sporting a Lane Hacker tag an some BW hardware, namely a Sabre, I sez "Lissen youz, Ima tell you da same thing i told that cruiser out there, Leniex's closed, by order of the Hellfires." Well this one, right, he gets cheeky, right?
"A Bayonet? Ha!" sez dis rat.
*spits out a sliver of toothpick*
"Yeah a Bayonet." sez me all calmlike. And then I turns around, and this MNS cruiser, she slides right by me and poof, dissa-friggin-peers into Leniex cloud. Dats when this Avalon rat opens fire on me.
Lookin down I sez "Oh geez." 'cause I realize I'm runnin an anti gunboat/transport loadout, right? Fa-get abouddit. I didnt last long, I tell yaz.
Lucky fer me, the VR issue pod didnt suck space, and I was picked up quick by the Ravager. They also towed the better part of my hull back for me an' I managed to patch her back up with some private funds.
Friggin shame is the memory cell was flat busted on her, so I've lost all images and data on this clown in New York, this Maltese battlewagon, and only remember this other Hacker guy by memory cause he shot me outta my ride, the punk. Gonna git that one some cement shoes an' take him to visit Curacao, Right?
*grins sheepishly*
Anywayz, Some friggin recruit I turned out ta be, right? Failed twice taday.
*shrugs, spits out mangled toothpick*
Gettin' back out to the black soon as she's fueled. Thats my report. Aint gonna quit tryin, see?
