Well today started great, hired a couple of miners they were able to fill me up about 4 times in my Heavy Tanker. It was looking good for me and my pockets were getting big. Lucky i had another Transport with me, Tiger.Stripe, who was able to help aid it the Transport of Ore.
We were on our 2nd run on the way back from New Tokyo with Optical chips. I had my feet up and the music blairin all was too easy. We were aproching our drop point for the chips when we caught a hostial on out long range scanners.
Tiger.Stripe went first thru the lanes in Stuttgart. " Insurgent|Black-13 sighted" he screams over the comms. as he slips by him unnoticed.
"Roger That"
I wake my crew and begin to prepare all defenses. lucky I am equipped with all the best equipment Sirius has to offer so if any thing i would just have to hold out until help arrived. I began my decent to the Omega 7 Jump gate when the lane was disrupted by none other Than That Unioner Insurgent|Black-13!!
"Here we go"
"Stop you engines" He shouts as tho i was def.
"And what does this pleasure of meeting you have in store for me?" i ask in fear for my life.
Well He demands some credits and need less to say he would be the last guy i would ever pay. I notice a boarder station only 24 clicks away and decide to make a run for it!!
*Shields fail*
I regen, take a couple of SNACs, and wiggle my way to the station (straight lines = Bad ) i make it with plenty of Regens and hull, thankfully. I go to the bar and stare at him through the windows, mocking his effort.
I call for back-up from a trusted [RM] who was able to come assist me in my will to make it to Omega 7. he begins to confront the Unioner only to exchange fire and later turn into a blood bath. A lone Hessian was there as well observing the situation and asked if i was doing fine. I told him about the Unioner and what he had tried to do and well...The Hessian wasn't very happy to hear some Unioner was attacking a miner friend. He ask if he could help assist and i said it would be delightful.
Before i know it i see the [RM] get abliterated into space crumbs. Then seconds later i see the Insurgent go down!! i was so happy at this point. I could now undock and continue my Trade free of greedy pirates. I thanked my Hessian companion and he informs me he was some kind of Rhienland spy.
All in all it was a good time. a lot of action for a slow route, it helps to keep me on my toes and aware indeed. So all you traders out there be careful and keep out a watchful eye.
I continue my trade and hope only my life and the crew aboard are safe and well feed.
