[font=Book Antiqua]Pulled a 'Quick Shift' earlier when I was passing through Gamma in my Merc
and noticed a Ship getting killed by Sairs over and over, but undocking and
attacking them again, so had to jump on Angel and try to settle things down.
I Wasn't much successful for the first 5 minutes, as neither of the sides stopped,
But gladly, I managed to calm things down before Bear hopped on his Admin.
Well, it didn't end much satisfactory, but the case was solved anyway.

But later, my other 'Quick Shift' turned into a 2 Hours one.
First half an hour in Gamma was actually quiet, but when I moved to Pennsy
the questions started. First, helped someone who was setting up a BMM Miner,
and meanwhile answered a few Mining Related Questions, about where the
fields are and where are Ores sold best and how to get Bonuses.

Also answered a few questions about IDs and IFFs, as well as what Guns
Freelancers can use. After that, was when I ran into my main 'Student' of
the evening... A Recruit IDed Barracuda, with Rheinland and Liberty Guns, and
an IDless Defender with Liberty and Junker Guns, doing missions together.
Although the one in Defender was not really good with English, but he at least
knew the basics. His friend on the other hand, was better with English.

First, I pointed out the main issue with their Guns and ID, and then they
asked a few questions about Chats and the Server, then I noticed they're
trying to make money by doing Missions in Pennsy. So I told them to make
new Chars and told them about /restart Commands and Basics of Mining.
Seems they were pretty happy about their new Rhinos and Cash Source.

So I left them in the Nebula to Mine, and Called it a Shift.
