...I was stranded close to a black hole. My liner was badly damaged. The intense radiation was ripping my hull layer by layer. Navigational controls were down...Life support was barely holding...There is only so much my body could endure...I was losing consciousness, where I saw a blinding flash...at that point I did not know whether I was hallucinating or not...as my eyes closed and I thought: "what a beautiful way to die"
I woke up with a start...alarms were beeping and flashing all across my controls...I waited til my vision adjusted to the darkness of the cockpit...I aching pain reminded me how badly hurt I was...A quick glance at the sensors that were still functional revealed that oxygen supply was at 5%, hull integrity at 75% after all regens had been depleted...but where was I exactly?
I did not have to look at my scanners to recognize the bright and beautiful Manhattan planet. I knew that it was not possible for me to be here unless....that blinding light was some time-space distortion close to the black hole. Ship navigational logs were blank for the past hours....It was impossible to tell what had really happened or how i had gotten here because no one had really been so close to a black hole and survived...
I could not help but laugh when i realized how lucky i was but it was too early to rejoice....On my scanners, I saw a pirate: Phate...an old enemy who had desperately tried to attack me in the past...By instinct, i hit the cruise engines and after a loud explosion in the rear side of my liner, the ship sprang to life, sped and cruised like nothing else counted....I was in a terrible situation: my ship was falling apart, no regens to spare and all systems were gradually failing...that was indeed the worse case scenario....
As long as i flew straight ahead, that cowardly pirate never had a chance to catch me but I was still weary and tired. when I passed by a navy pilot by the name of Carl.Agathon, I thought here was my ray of hope...the good old navy coming to my rescue. At that point, I was barely holding on...i had lost so much blood and oxygen levels were dangerously low....I turned my ship and instead of fleeing, i faced the pirate with full confidence, knowing that the navy would help...
navy transmission intercepted..."ok do with him what you like"....Both the navy officer and the pirate started firing at my damaged ship without mercy...I should have known not to trust anyone....
It's been 24hours since those incidents...I am recovering from my injuries safely at an undisclosed location. My employers are furious and This is what they have to say: Time for PAYBACK!

Well, it seems this particular stain is proving hard to remove.
The last time one of our boys took him down you left us short 50 million credits.
Our "Payments Received" Department was most displeased.
Still, given that this piece of scum has no doubt learned to fly his home-made attack ship with the use of his prosthetic limbs, we'll send someone over to put him out of his misery.

Sir,
Your organization has proven itself to my employers in the past and we assure you that should one of your members finish the job, payment shall me made in full rightaway. We might even add a small bonus in your case to clear that small 'misunderstanding'...
My thanks to everyone who accepted the job so far. Wish you all good luck on the hunt!
Well done Sir! My employers are very pleased with your services. You have met all the requirements of the second bounty. The sum of 10 million credits + 20 million bonus is being transferred to your account right now.
His ship has been destroyed but it seems that his escape pod was never found among the debris. There is no doubt that the pirate will show up again in a brand new ship...you are most welcome to resume the hunt once again!
