When I heard the distress comm from that hauler and Captain Bane\u2019s cry for help in taking it down, I saw opportunity ripe on the vine ready to be plucked.\n\nAt the time, I was searching for this ship that did some work for me. It was a legit hauler with clean tags, a trustworthy captain that craved extra creds and a seriously sweet smuggler\u2019s hold.

It was a bit of long shot, sure, but you know me, I\u2019m not the type to let go of a grudge over a little hard work.\n\nI tracked down where the ship was last seen and hightailed it there as quick as I could. I followed its route, taking careful scans so I didn\u2019t miss anything. Finally, I got to a sector of the system where the ECN was down \u2014 usually a sure sign of shady stuff.

Ernsthaft, Bande, jeder sollte studieren, was dieser Trog getan hat, um genau zu erfahren, was er bei seinem n\u00e4chsten Angriff nicht tun sollte. Wenn Sie nicht geh\u00f6rt haben, zielte diese Radmutter auf eine massive Lieferung von Nox ab, die aus dem Slink Space kam, kurz bevor sie in den Verkauf kamen. Neben der Idiotie, eine Ladung anzugreifen, die viele, viele, viele Menschen ein pers\u00f6nliches Interesse am Schutz hatten, konnte Captain Bane auch das Kommunikationssystem des Spediteurs nicht ausschalten, bevor es ein Notsignal aussenden konnte.\n\nZu allem \u00dcberfluss hatte er nicht einmal die notwendigen Zahlen, um den Job zu erledigen. Es gibt keinen traurigeren Ton als einen Gesetzlosen, der einen Comm sendet und um Hilfe bei der Erfassung einer Sendung bittet. Egal, wie sie es drehen, es ist kein Sammelruf, es ist nur Weinen!\n\nJeder Bandit mit einem halben Gehirn wei\u00df, dass er nicht blind in eine unbekannte Situation fliegen darf. Sprechen Sie \u00fcber ein One-Way-Ticket, um sich in St\u00fccke rei\u00dfen zu lassen oder vom Gesetz erfasst zu werden.\n\nWie auch immer, Captain Bane, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob dieses Signal den Zellblock erreichen wird, in dem Sie eingesperrt sind, aber danke von ganzem Herzen, dass Sie meinen Tag mit Ihren Eskapaden in Idiotie erhellt haben. Du hast mich nicht nur gut gelacht, sondern deine Fehler haben mir auch die perfekte Gelegenheit gegeben, etwas zu pl\u00fcndern. In der Tat, wenn du jemals rauskommst, komm mit mir und ich gebe dir einen Drink aus.\n\nKein Witz. Leute wie Captain Bane sind ein wichtiger Teil des verbotenen \u00d6kosystems. Wir brauchen kleine Fische wie diesen, die herumschwirren, um die Aufmerksamkeit des Gesetzes und anderer Gutmenschen auf sich zu ziehen, damit wir gro\u00dfen Fische mehr Spielraum haben. Es gibt keine bessere Zeit, nach links zu gehen, als wenn alle anderen nach rechts schauen.\n\nSiehst du, ich war zuf\u00e4llig in Baker, als Captain Bane sein M\u00fcllfeuer bei einem \u00dcberfall inszenierte. Als ich den Notruf von diesem Schlepper und Captain Bane's Hilferuf bei der Demontage h\u00f6rte, sah ich die Gelegenheit, dass die Rebe reif f\u00fcr die Ernte war.\n\nDamals war ich auf der Suche nach diesem Schiff, das f\u00fcr mich etwas geleistet hat. Es war ein echter Schlepper mit sauberen Schildern, ein vertrauensw\u00fcrdiger Kapit\u00e4n, der sich nach zus\u00e4tzlichen Glaubensbekenntnissen sehnte, und ein wirklich s\u00fc\u00dfer Schmugglerladen. Ein Plus an Einsatz rundum, also hat er meine Zahnr\u00e4der wirklich geschliffen, als er nicht am Treffpunkt ankam.\n\nUm es noch schlimmer zu machen, bekomme ich einen Ping Stunden sp\u00e4ter, dass der genaue Gegenstand, den ich so sorgf\u00e4ltig in diesem Griff versteckt hatte, jetzt im Dunkeln zum Verkauf stand und nur auf den H\u00f6chstbietenden wartete. Ich sch\u00e4tze, sie hatten gehofft, es zu verkaufen, bevor ich \u00fcberhaupt erfahren habe, dass es weg ist.\n\nKeiner meiner Kontakte hatte die Angaben dar\u00fcber, wer das Schiff getroffen hatte, also beschloss ich, es selbst herauszufinden. Ich h\u00e4tte mich auf den Zaun lehnen k\u00f6nnen, der ihn verkauft, aber diese Bastarde haben ihren Ruf, alles Unschuldige und nicht Quietschende zu tun. Er h\u00e4tte mir wahrscheinlich eine unglaubliche Geschichte erz\u00e4hlt und mich auf einen Weg geschickt, der nur in Sackgassen f\u00fchren w\u00fcrde.\n\nNein, wenn ich wissen wollte, was wirklich mit diesem Schiff passiert ist, und zwar schnell, dann m\u00fcsste ich es finden und seine Blackbox in die Finger bekommen. Dann konnte ich die Protokolle \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen, um zu sehen, wem mein Zorn geschuldet war.\n\nDas hei\u00dft, wenn die Box noch da war. Es war ein bisschen langweilig, sicher, aber du kennst mich, ich bin nicht der Typ, der einen Groll wegen ein wenig harter Arbeit losl\u00e4sst.\n\nIch habe aufgesp\u00fcrt, wo das Schiff zuletzt gesehen wurde und habe es dort so schnell wie m\u00f6glich hochgezogen. Ich folgte seiner Route und machte sorgf\u00e4ltige Scans, damit ich nichts verpasste. Schlie\u00dflich kam ich zu einem Sektor des Systems, in dem das ECN ausgefallen war - normalerweise ein sicheres Zeichen f\u00fcr zwielichtige Dinge. Ich schr\u00e4nkte meine Scans ein und bekam schlie\u00dflich einen Treffer, der vielversprechend aussah.\n\nIch war gerade dabei, zu den Koordinaten zu fliegen, als meine besseren Sinne siegten. Ich machte einige breitere Scans und entdeckte eine Markierung auf meinen Sechs, die auf dem gleichen Kurs zu sein schien. Ich t\u00f6tete alle nicht notwendigen Systeme und wurde dunkel. Ich sa\u00df da, beobachtete es eine Weile und war schnell \u00fcberzeugt, dass sie nach dem gleichen Schiff suchten.\n\nSehen Sie, einer der Nachteile der Verwendung eines legitimen Schifffahrtsunternehmens als Schmuggelfront ist, dass viele geradlinige Leute auch nach dem Wrack suchen werden. Irgendwann sind es die Schaber, aber meistens sind es die blutigen Geier, die von der Versicherungsgesellschaft unter Vertrag genommen wurden. Sie suchen immer nach der Blackbox, um behaupten zu k\u00f6nnen, dass jeder Unfug, der passiert ist, definitiv nicht ihre Schuld war und sie sind nicht haftbar.\n\nGl\u00fccklicherweise schien es nur diesen einen Konkurrenten zu geben, der auf der Suche nach dem gleichen Schiff herumschleicht. Nat\u00fcrlich bedeutete das nicht, dass nicht noch mehr im Kommen waren. Ich sa\u00df da, knabberte an einigen Chicha's und drehte Optionen in meinem Kopf um. Die Quantisierung auf den Standort w\u00fcrde die Aufmerksamkeit des Schiffes nur darauf lenken, wo genau ich sie nicht haben wollte, also habe ich diesen Plan abgelehnt.\n\nEin \u00dcberraschungsangriff k\u00f6nnte funktionieren. Bei abgeschaltetem ECN k\u00f6nnte ich schnell zuschlagen und das Schiff ausschalten, ohne Alarm zu schlagen. Aber w\u00e4hrend ich kein Problem damit habe, mich um das Gesch\u00e4ft zu k\u00fcmmern, m\u00f6chte ich lieber nicht mehr Unordnung schaffen als absolut notwendig. Au\u00dferdem m\u00fcsste ich dann die Blackbox des Schiffes einsammeln, um meine Spur sauber zu halten. Es w\u00fcrde funktionieren, aber es war nicht die schnellste oder sauberste Option.\n\nStattdessen sa\u00df ich einfach da und hoffte, dass das Schiff den Sektor nicht so sorgf\u00e4ltig scannte wie ich. So sehr ich auch einen guten Kampf liebe, ich habe gelernt, dass manchmal die richtige Aktion keine Aktion ist. Dies stellte sich als einer dieser F\u00e4lle heraus.\n\nAls dieses Schiff n\u00e4her kam, bereitete ich mich auf eine schnelle Fahrt vor, falls ich die Dinge selbst in die Hand nehmen musste. Mein Finger n\u00e4herte sich dem Schalter, als der Notruf von diesem Schlepper voller Noxs \u00fcber meine Kommunikation kam. Ich beobachtete, wie das sich n\u00e4hernde Schiff schnell seinen Kurs und sein Quantum \u00e4nderte, ohne zu wissen, wie nah es seinem Ende kommen w\u00fcrde.\n\nNachdem dieses Schiff verschwunden war, machte ich noch ein paar weitere schnelle Scans, um sicherzustellen, dass die K\u00fcste frei ist, und schleppte dann den Schwanz zu den Koordinaten, die ich auf die Untersuchung gewartet hatte. Tats\u00e4chlich sa\u00df dort das Wrack des Schleppers, den ich verfolgte. Ich brauchte ein paar Leute, um die Blackbox zu finden, aber ich habe sie endlich gefunden. Ich war schon lange nicht mehr in der Gegend, bevor sich der Staub auf Captain Bane's Unf\u00e4higkeit niederlie\u00df. Als ich die Logs der Kiste geknackt hatte, war es tagein, wer hinter dem Angriff stand. Alles, was bleibt, ist, dass ich eine wohlverdiente R\u00fcckzahlung bekomme.\n\nSensor Piepton >\n\nTats\u00e4chlich scheint es, als w\u00fcrde ich gleich einl\u00f6sen. Vergesst nie, Leute, legt euch mit mir an und es ist sehr wahrscheinlich das Letzte, was ihr tun werdet.
