The path of Prospector

[Doom]

Day for York started early...His new wingman needed some weapons and they were off to Alamo base. York had a friend there.

- I wonder does he still remembers me? - York thought

Flight was uneventful but pleasant. The moment York set his foot of Alamo base floor, one gray haired man was running towards him across the dock bay.

- Hello old friend, - York said - How are you..you still chase young girls?

- Ah welcome my boy. Girls, yes i chase them, but they run faster these days.

- Hahaha...or maybe you run slower...So Jimmy, i need a favor...

- Favor...that wont be a problem...just u say it


- See, i need some heavy weaponry. My Xeno group is getting bigger and i need to equip them. Also i have two heavy freighter's that are in need of some equipment...

- Hmmm..heavy you say...tell me, what you need

- Here is the list. Remember, money is tight, but it wont be a problem...

- Ok...i will call few of my friends and i will let you know...

- I need to be going soon. I will send one freighter to pick the stuff up...

- Hey wait a minute. I haven't see you for a year and now you wish to leave so soon. Find some time for a drink in a bar with old friend.

- Ok...but just one drink

It was late afternoon when York got message from Alamo base. Weapons were ready.

- Call me Thompson here. - York ordered.

Not long and Thompson was standing in front of York.

- Thompson, take Barge and fly to the Alamo base. Take back ways and stay clear of police patrols. You will take large shipment of weapons from old Jimmy. You remember him...Skirt chaser...This is high classified and high risk operation. Report to me the moment you arrive back here.

When that was settled York took out Xeno patrol. They were on the hunt. They needed money for all that weaponry that is coming.

Xeno patrol entered California system and spreaded around in search of targets. Not long has passed when York saw lonely fighter, IDed as Famillia vessel....Although York, and all Xenos for that matter despise corrupted Liberty government, and mafia controlled police only shows that, he asked him will he support Xenos and their rightful cause. At first, Mafia guy denied...But after some "persuasion" from York and his friends he finally gave 2 million credits for Xenos.
York turned his ship and entered trade lane leaving mafia vessel to drift in space. But for some reason he followed York and his escorts...Then after flying dangerously close to Yorks eagle mafia vessel opened fire at him...Several shots from Yorks ship along with several more from escorts and mafia fighter went up in flames while pilot was screaming for help...But it was too late for him...

York set course for home when he picked up several contacts on scanner...Two SA fighters...
Soon, SA fighters were joined by one more fighter, FEAR....
York had only one escort now, cause second was bringing money to Ouray. It was too late for him to turn back and they decided to confront SA and FEAR ships.

Very early in fight York lost his escort so he was left alone to fight what seemed to be lost fight...
But like always in such fights, luck was on Yorks side. One by one enemies fighters were destroyed.
At the end there was only FEAR fighter left. He was the best of three and York really enjoyed fighting him. But soon one Mafia cruiser and SA gunboat came to help FEAR...York didn't like the presence of the big ships so he retreated form the fight. They tried to follow him but he used one of his many tricks and they lost radar contact.

SA dispatched another fighter wing supported by gunboat and entered to Ontario system. York flew there to intercept them. There he found two more Xenos already fighting SA vessels so he joined the fight.
Despite that he advised how fight should be fought, other xenos were unexperienced and they didn't listen...
Slowly but surely, Xenos were losing that fight...One by one Xeno ships were destroyed. Among them and Yorks eagle...
SA didn't suffer any loses...

By pure luck Yorks escape pod found its way to Colorado system where it was picked up by passing Xeno patrol. Once safely docked at Ouray, York received message that weapons are safely on board the base...
He was pleased...main goal of the day was successful. Now Xeno enemies will face more dangerous opponent...
