Apparently I learned well from yesterday's encounter. If I hadn't, I would be spending another long night in the repair station covered in bandages. I can't say the same for others I had the pleasure of meeting.

It started off with a routine trade blockade. Transports slowly filtered through, and I made a few small scores. Suddenly an Outcast fighter lands in my trap. I greet the guy, and tell him sorry for the inconvenience. I consider myself fairly neutral with Outcasts.

Next thing I know, though, a fat transport follows right in after him. I get excited and pounce immediately. The Outcast sticks around, probably to help me out and get a cut of the 'tax.' Suddenly, the new alarm I installed in my scanners started blaring. I didn't even look, I just turned and high-tailed it out of there.

Sure enough, a lone Navy fighter dropped in on us. I blasted a fairwell over comms as I beat a hasty retreat, but the Outcast seemed more than ready for a fight. The poor fool was winning, until a full Navy patrol came rolling through. Apparently that other guy was just a forward scout.

I'm not sure what ever happened to that Outcast, as about that time I landed and hit the bar at Alcatraz to get some heavy thinking out of the way. I've been investing some of my cash in a few capable traders, and it seems to be paying off. With all the new found spending power, I am beginning to gain new ambitions of an upgrade out of this Bactrian. It's treated me well so far, but I've had my eye on a ship ever since I hit Montezuma for some spare parts. This beauty they call the Pirate Freighter would suit me nicely. Plenty of firepower and room for all the loot of those who decide they don't need to pay a 'trader' to pass through a trade lane.

Hopefully my investments pay off a little more, or I get a couple more big scores. I'm about 10 mil shy of fully buying and fitting one out right now, but I can already feel the anticipation from flying one.
