I\u2019m Garret Coliga and here are the latest news, tips, and tech in the bounty hunting world. Today\u2019s show is sponsored by Lightning Bolt Company, makers of both the Yubarev pistol and Atzkav sniper rifle which fire charged electron shots that can spread to nearby conductive targets. Founded by former security experts with years of infield experience, Lightning Bolt weapons were designed to withstand the heat of battle and look dang good doing it too, if I might say so myself. Love the way the barrel crackles with electricity while charging a shot. There\u2019s nothing else quite like it out there. Visit an authorized Lightning Bolt merchant to see for yourself.\n\nOkay, let\u2019s get the show going. Today\u2019s guest is someone I\u2019ve tried to convince to come on the show for years. I begged. I pleaded. I paid for several expensive dinners, but she always turned me down. That is until now, when she reached the most illustrious and important landmark in a bounty hunter\u2019s career, retirement. Nala Govea, thanks for finally coming on the show.\n\nNala Govea: To be clear, I\u2019m only here because Garret\u2019s holding me at gunpoint.\nI tried everything else.\n\nNala Govea: In all seriousness, it\u2019s nice to be here. I am sorry that it took me so long to come on the show. I just, well, I\u2019m not really one for attention.\nWhich is one of the many reasons why you were such a good bounty hunter.\n\nNala Govea: That and a whole lotta luck. You don\u2019t survive as long as I did without dodging a few bullets.\nNo need to be so modest, Nala. Part of the reason I wanted you to come on the show is to celebrate your incredible career.\n\nNala Govea: No, I\u2019m serious. This one time I sneezed right as someone shot at my head. Moved just enough that the bullet ricocheted off my helmet instead of being a direct hit.\nWhy haven\u2019t I heard this story before? When was this?\n\nNala Govea: Long, long time ago, way before we met.\nThat had to be a surreal experience.\n\nNala Govea: Oh yeah, taught me a lot about situational awareness and how to best approach targets on foot. It also convinced me to spend some serious creds on armor. I was wearing this light helmet at the time that I\u2019d picked up secondhand, and after seeing the damage a glancing shot did, I immediately went out and invested in some good gear.\nThe fact that you ever went out bounty hunting again is a miracle. There was no regen tech then to bring you back.\n\nNala Govea: Hey, we all have to earn our dinner somehow.\nI gotta know, you ever end up catching the target?\n\nNala Govea: Took a few extra days but I got her. ( Laughs ) We actually became friends after she did her stint. She used to thank me for getting her locked up \u2018cause most of the gang she was running with got ghosted while she was away. She said it made it easier to walk away from that life once she got out.\nSounds like she was lucky you sneezed too.\n\nNala Govea: Lotta younger bounty hunters hate it when I\u2019d tell \u2018em that my biggest piece of advice is that it\u2019s better to be lucky than good\u2026 which, look, I get.\nYeah, when we first worked together and I was prodding you for advice, \u201cbe lucky,\u201d wasn\u2019t exactly what I wanted to hear. I mean, I can\u2019t make myself lucky, but I can develop my skill set.\n\nNala Govea: Guess that\u2019s part of the reason why I like giving that advice. It\u2019s really just trying to tell you that there\u2019s a lot to this job that you won\u2019t be able to control, so you don\u2019t need to try so damn hard to control everything. So much of bounty hunting is about how you react and adjust to things you never could have predicted.\nGreat point and I want to dig into this further. But first let\u2019s take a moment to properly introduce you and your legacy, because I\u2019m guessing that not everyone is familiar with your work and reputation. Partially because, as you said, you don\u2019t like the attention.\n\nNala Govea: Attention only makes the job harder, in my opinion. The less that people notice me or even think about me, the better.\nNow, when I was coming up everybody knew that if you needed to find someone hiding in Pyro, you commed Nala. Not many bounty hunters worked the system regularly and, out of the ones that did, she always knew the lay of the land better than anyone. Stuff like what gangs controlled what areas and which ones were warring with each other.\n\nNala Govea: You didn\u2019t have a choice. Knowing that stuff was the only way to work the system safely.\nSpeaking of, do you remember our first discussion? Because I sure do.\n\nNala Govea: Was that the one where I asked if you wanted to die?\n( Laughter ) It was. I was so nervous and you were being so incredibly kind and patient with me until I started to explain that my plan involved going to Ruin Station\u2014\n\nNala Govea: Which at the time was locked down because the Headhunters were trying to regain control of it from\u2026 oh dammit, what was their name? They\u2019re not around anymore\u2026\nThe Lowside Tomahawks.\n\nNala Govea: That\u2019s them. That was a weird crew.\nThankfully you talked me outta that suicidal idea and gave me some great advice about how to potentially track down my target, which I eventually did thanks to you. After that lesson, any time I got word that a bounty I was tracking had fled to Pyro I\u2026 well, first my heart sank because I knew things just got a lot more dangerous but after that I\u2019d send you a comm. What made you focus on hunting down outlaws in a system controlled by outlaws?\n\nNala Govea: Well, not many people know this but that\u2019s where I was born and raised. So I was comfortable moving about the system, avoiding the solar flares, and I already had a number of good hiding spots picked out for when I needed to lay low. Also still had friends I trusted who kept me updated on developments in certain areas.\nSo you were uniquely positioned. I know a lot of bounty hunters who\u2019d drop a target the second they went into Pyro.\n\nNala Govea: Don\u2019t blame them at all. It\u2019s not an easy system to work even if you\u2019re familiar with it.\nYou remember the last gig you worked in Pyro?\n\nNala Govea: I do, but I\u2019d rather not get into specifics. All I\u2019ll say is that the system has changed drastically over the past few years.\nIn your opinion, what\u2019s changed? Obviously XenoThreat has become a dominant force.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re certainly a factor. Violent gangs have been around Pyro for ages, but using the system to organize attacks on Stanton is a new wrinkle. Most Pyro gangs avoid inter-system operations that\u2019ll attract UEE attention. They\u2019ll do them, but much more discreetly than the Xenos. That way they\u2019ll be left alone to control their own little areas of influence as they see fit.\nIt\u2019s why Pyro can be such a difficult system for outsiders to work. Gang allegiances and areas of influence are always shifting.\n\nNala Govea: It\u2019s survival of the fittest. Actually more like survival of the fiercest, right now.\nSo, I know you\u2019re officially retired, but there are a lot of bounty hunters out there who\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on some of the prominent gangs currently in Pyro.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re all bad and should be avoided if possible. That cover it?\nSound advice. But let\u2019s go gang by gang really quick, like what you used to do with me when I\u2019d ask for an update. Let\u2019s start with XenoThreat.\n\nNala Govea: Dangerous and ultra-violent bastards who are primarily fueled by hate and anti-corporate rhetoric.\nLot of them are ex-UEE military from what I hear.\n\nNala Govea: Could be. Don\u2019t think most of \u2018em are originally from Pyro. A lotta other gangs aren\u2019t happy about all the attention they\u2019re generating by attacking targets in the UEE.\nNext, you mentioned the Headhunters earlier.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019ve been around forever. Way longer than I\u2019ve been a bounty hunter. No matter what happens in-system, they seem to survive, so they\u2019re extremely dangerous but you can deal with them. They\u2019re smart enough to not always resort to violence.\nWhat\u2019s your take of the Fire Rats?\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re a weird one. On a lot of levels, they act more like a cult than a gang, but I don\u2019t know any other cults that boost a ship as fast as them. They all tend to be true believers in whatever it is they believe.\nGuess you gotta be if you\u2019re willing to suffer severe burns just to join.\n\nNala Govea: Exactly.\nOk, we have to go to a commercial break in a moment but we\u2019ve got time for one more. What\u2019s going on with the Overlords?\n\nNala Govea: Who knows? There are lots of rumors floating around about them, but no one knows who they are or what they want. What we do know is that they primarily target other gangs and their operations. Some folks in Pyro think they\u2019re actually vigilantes but I\u2019m not convinced they\u2019re fighting for any kind of greater good. It\u2019s just as likely that they\u2019re trying to clear out other gangs so they can take over.\nOr set the stage for someone else to move in.\n\nNala Govea: Possibly.\nOk, we really do need to take that break. When we return we\u2019ll have more with the recently retired Nala Govea. She\u2019ll give us her top tips and tricks when working Pyro, and maybe I can coax her into telling us how she tracked down \u2018Wednesday\u2019 Kyles.\n\nNala Govea: You love that story.\nI do, so don\u2019t go anywhere because, trust me, you won\u2019t want to miss it. TRACKER will be right back.","de_DE":"Willkommen bei TRACKER. Ich bin Garret Coliga und hier sind die neuesten Nachrichten, Tipps und Technik aus der Welt der Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger. Die heutige Sendung wird von der Lightning Bolt Company gesponsert, dem Hersteller der Yubarev-Pistole und des Atzkav-Scharfsch\u00fctzengewehrs, die geladene Elektronensch\u00fcsse abgeben, die sich auf nahegelegene leitf\u00e4hige Ziele ausbreiten k\u00f6nnen. Lightning Bolt wurde von ehemaligen Sicherheitsexperten mit jahrelanger Erfahrung im Einsatz gegr\u00fcndet. Die Waffen von Lightning Bolt wurden entwickelt, um der Hitze des Gefechts standzuhalten und sehen dabei auch noch verdammt gut aus, wenn ich das sagen darf. Ich liebe es, wie der Lauf beim Laden eines Schusses mit Elektrizit\u00e4t knistert. Es gibt nichts Vergleichbares auf dem Markt. Besuchen Sie einen autorisierten Lightning Bolt-H\u00e4ndler und \u00fcberzeugen Sie sich selbst.\n\nOkay, lassen Sie uns mit der Show beginnen. Unser heutiger Gast ist jemand, den ich seit Jahren zu \u00fcberreden versuche, in die Show zu kommen. Ich habe gebettelt. Ich habe gefleht. Ich habe mehrere teure Abendessen bezahlt, aber sie hat mich immer abgewiesen. Das hei\u00dft, bis jetzt, wo sie den ber\u00fchmtesten und wichtigsten Meilenstein in der Karriere eines Kopfgeldj\u00e4gers erreicht hat: den Ruhestand. Nala Govea, danke, dass Sie endlich in die Sendung gekommen sind.\n\nNala Govea: Um das klarzustellen, ich bin nur hier, weil Garret mich mit der Waffe in der Hand h\u00e4lt.\nIch habe alles andere versucht.\n\nNala Govea: Ganz im Ernst, es ist sch\u00f6n, hier zu sein. Es tut mir leid, dass ich so lange gebraucht habe, um in die Show zu kommen. Ich bin einfach nicht der Typ f\u00fcr Aufmerksamkeit.\nDas ist einer der vielen Gr\u00fcnde, warum Sie eine so gute Kopfgeldj\u00e4gerin waren.\n\nNala Govea: Das und eine ganze Menge Gl\u00fcck. Man \u00fcberlebt nicht so lange wie ich, ohne ein paar Kugeln abzuwehren.\nKein Grund, so bescheiden zu sein, Nala. Ich wollte Sie auch deshalb in die Show holen, um Ihre unglaubliche Karriere zu feiern.\n\nNala Govea: Nein, ich meine es ernst. Einmal habe ich geniest, als jemand auf meinen Kopf schoss. Ich bewegte mich gerade so weit, dass die Kugel von meinem Helm abprallte, anstatt mich direkt zu treffen.\nWarum habe ich diese Geschichte nicht schon fr\u00fcher geh\u00f6rt? Wann war das?\n\nNala Govea: Vor langer, langer Zeit, lange bevor wir uns kennengelernt haben.\nDas muss eine surreale Erfahrung gewesen sein.\n\nNala Govea: Oh ja, ich habe viel \u00fcber Situationsbewusstsein gelernt und wie man sich Zielen am besten zu Fu\u00df n\u00e4hert. Es hat mich auch davon \u00fcberzeugt, viel Geld f\u00fcr eine R\u00fcstung auszugeben. Ich trug damals diesen leichten Helm, den ich gebraucht gekauft hatte, und nachdem ich gesehen hatte, welchen Schaden ein Streifschuss anrichtet, habe ich sofort in eine gute Ausr\u00fcstung investiert.\nDie Tatsache, dass Sie jemals wieder auf Kopfgeldjagd gegangen sind, ist ein Wunder. Damals gab es noch keine Regenerationstechnologie, die Sie zur\u00fcckgebracht h\u00e4tte.\n\nNala Govea: Hey, wir m\u00fcssen uns alle irgendwie unser Abendessen verdienen.\nIch muss es wissen, haben Sie jemals das Ziel erwischt?\n\nNala Govea: Es hat ein paar Tage l\u00e4nger gedauert, aber ich habe sie erwischt. (lacht) Wir haben uns sogar angefreundet, nachdem sie ihre Strafe abgesessen hatte. Sie hat sich bei mir bedankt, dass ich sie eingesperrt habe, weil die meisten aus ihrer Bande in ihrer Abwesenheit verschwunden sind. Sie sagte, dass es ihr leichter fiel, aus diesem Leben auszusteigen, als sie wieder drau\u00dfen war.\nKlingt, als h\u00e4tte sie Gl\u00fcck gehabt, dass Sie auch niesen mussten.\n\nNala Govea: Viele j\u00fcngere Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger hassen es, wenn ich ihnen sage, dass mein wichtigster Ratschlag lautet, dass es besser ist, Gl\u00fcck zu haben als gut zu sein... was ich auch verstehe.\nJa, als wir zum ersten Mal zusammengearbeitet haben und ich Sie um Rat gefragt habe, war \"Gl\u00fcck haben\" nicht gerade das, was ich h\u00f6ren wollte. Ich meine, ich kann mein Gl\u00fcck nicht erzwingen, aber ich kann meine F\u00e4higkeiten entwickeln.\n\nNala Govea: Ich denke, das ist einer der Gr\u00fcnde, warum ich diesen Rat gerne gebe. Ich will Ihnen damit nur sagen, dass Sie vieles in diesem Job nicht kontrollieren k\u00f6nnen, also m\u00fcssen Sie nicht versuchen, alles zu kontrollieren. Bei der Kopfgeldjagd geht es vor allem darum, wie Sie auf Dinge reagieren und sich auf Dinge einstellen, die Sie niemals h\u00e4tten vorhersehen k\u00f6nnen.\nDas ist ein guter Punkt, den ich gerne weiter vertiefen m\u00f6chte. Aber lassen Sie uns zun\u00e4chst einen Moment Zeit, um Sie und Ihr Verm\u00e4chtnis richtig vorzustellen, denn ich vermute, dass nicht jeder mit Ihrer Arbeit und Ihrem Ruf vertraut ist. Zum Teil, weil Sie, wie Sie sagten, die Aufmerksamkeit nicht m\u00f6gen.\n\nNala Govea: Meiner Meinung nach macht die Aufmerksamkeit die Arbeit nur schwieriger. Je weniger die Leute mich bemerken oder auch nur \u00fcber mich nachdenken, desto besser.\nAls ich aufgestiegen bin, wusste jeder, dass man sich an Nala wendet, wenn man jemanden finden wollte, der sich in Pyro versteckt. Nicht viele Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger arbeiteten regelm\u00e4\u00dfig in diesem System, und von denen, die es taten, kannte sie die Lage immer besser als jeder andere. Zum Beispiel, welche Banden welche Gebiete kontrollierten und welche sich untereinander bekriegten.\n\nNala Govea: Sie hatten keine andere Wahl. Nur wenn Sie das wussten, konnten Sie sich in dem System sicher bewegen.\nApropos, erinnern Sie sich an unser erstes Gespr\u00e4ch? Ich erinnere mich n\u00e4mlich sehr gut.\n\nNala Govea: War das das Gespr\u00e4ch, in dem ich Sie gefragt habe, ob Sie sterben wollen?\n(Gel\u00e4chter) Das war es. Ich war so nerv\u00f6s und Sie waren so unglaublich freundlich und geduldig mit mir, bis ich Ihnen erkl\u00e4rte, dass mein Plan darin bestand, zur Ruin Station zu gehen.\n\nNala Govea: Die zu der Zeit gesperrt war, weil die Headhunter versuchten, die Kontrolle \u00fcber die Station von... oh verdammt, wie hie\u00dfen die noch gleich? Es gibt sie nicht mehr...\nDie Lowside Tomahawks.\n\nNala Govea: Das sind sie. Das war eine merkw\u00fcrdige Truppe.\nZum Gl\u00fcck haben Sie mir diese selbstm\u00f6rderische Idee ausgeredet und mir einen guten Rat gegeben, wie ich mein Ziel m\u00f6glicherweise aufsp\u00fcren k\u00f6nnte, was mir dank Ihnen schlie\u00dflich auch gelang. Nach dieser Lektion habe ich jedes Mal, wenn ich erfuhr, dass ein Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger, den ich verfolgte, nach Pyro geflohen war,... nun ja, zuerst hat mein Herz gesunken, weil ich wusste, dass die Dinge gerade viel gef\u00e4hrlicher geworden waren, aber danach habe ich Ihnen eine Nachricht geschickt. Warum haben Sie sich auf die Jagd nach Gesetzlosen in einem System konzentriert, das von Gesetzlosen kontrolliert wird?\n\nNala Govea: Nun, das wissen nicht viele Leute, aber ich bin dort geboren und aufgewachsen. Ich konnte mich also gut im System bewegen, den Sonneneruptionen ausweichen und hatte bereits eine Reihe guter Verstecke f\u00fcr den Fall, dass ich mich verstecken musste. Au\u00dferdem hatte ich immer noch Freunde, denen ich vertraute und die mich \u00fcber die Entwicklungen in bestimmten Gebieten auf dem Laufenden hielten.\nSie waren also in einer einmaligen Position. Ich kenne viele Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger, die in der Sekunde, in der sie Pyro betreten, ein Ziel fallen lassen w\u00fcrden.\n\nNala Govea: Ich kann es ihnen nicht verdenken. Es ist kein einfaches System, selbst wenn man damit vertraut ist.\nErinnern Sie sich an Ihren letzten Auftrag in Pyro?\n\nNala Govea: Das tue ich, aber ich m\u00f6chte nicht ins Detail gehen. Ich kann nur sagen, dass sich das System in den letzten Jahren drastisch ver\u00e4ndert hat.\nWas hat sich Ihrer Meinung nach ge\u00e4ndert? Offensichtlich ist XenoThreat zu einer dominierenden Kraft geworden.\n\nNala Govea: Sie sind sicherlich ein Faktor. Gewaltt\u00e4tige Banden gibt es auf Pyro schon seit Ewigkeiten, aber das System zu nutzen, um Angriffe auf Stanton zu organisieren, ist eine neue Entwicklung. Die meisten Pyro-Banden vermeiden system\u00fcbergreifende Operationen, die die Aufmerksamkeit der UEE auf sich ziehen w\u00fcrden. Sie werden sie durchf\u00fchren, aber viel diskreter als die Xenos. Auf diese Weise werden sie in Ruhe gelassen, um ihre eigenen kleinen Einflussbereiche nach eigenem Gutd\u00fcnken zu kontrollieren.\nDas ist der Grund, warum Pyro f\u00fcr Au\u00dfenstehende so schwierig zu handhaben ist. Die Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit zu den Gangs und die Einflussbereiche \u00e4ndern sich st\u00e4ndig.\n\nNala Govea: Es ist das \u00dcberleben des St\u00e4rkeren. Eigentlich eher das \u00dcberleben der St\u00e4rksten, im Moment.\nIch wei\u00df, dass Sie offiziell im Ruhestand sind, aber es gibt eine Menge Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger da drau\u00dfen, die gerne Ihre Meinung zu einigen der prominenten Gangs h\u00f6ren w\u00fcrden, die es derzeit in Pyro gibt.\n\nNala Govea: Sie sind alle schlecht und sollten nach M\u00f6glichkeit gemieden werden. Ist das alles?\nEin guter Rat. Aber lassen Sie uns schnell eine Gang nach der anderen durchgehen, so wie Sie es mit mir gemacht haben, wenn ich nach einem Update gefragt habe. Lassen Sie uns mit XenoThreat beginnen.\n\nNala Govea: Gef\u00e4hrliche und ultra-gewaltt\u00e4tige Bastarde, die vor allem von Hass und Anti-Korporations-Rhetorik angeheizt werden.\nViele von ihnen sind ehemalige UEE-Milit\u00e4rs, wie ich geh\u00f6rt habe.\n\nNala Govea: K\u00f6nnte sein. Ich glaube nicht, dass die meisten von ihnen urspr\u00fcnglich aus Pyro kommen. Viele andere Gangs sind nicht gl\u00fccklich \u00fcber die Aufmerksamkeit, die sie durch Angriffe auf Ziele in der UEE erregen.\nAls n\u00e4chstes haben Sie vorhin die Headhunter erw\u00e4hnt.\n\nNala Govea: Die gibt es schon ewig. Viel l\u00e4nger, als ich Kopfgeldj\u00e4gerin bin. Egal, was im System passiert, sie scheinen zu \u00fcberleben. Sie sind also extrem gef\u00e4hrlich, aber man kann mit ihnen umgehen. Sie sind klug genug, um nicht immer zur Gewalt zu greifen.\nWas halten Sie von den Feuerratten?\n\nNala Govea: Sie sind ein seltsames V\u00f6lkchen. In vielerlei Hinsicht sind sie eher eine Sekte als eine Bande, aber ich kenne keine andere Sekte, die ein Schiff so schnell hochf\u00e4hrt wie sie. Sie alle neigen dazu, fest an das zu glauben, woran sie glauben.\nDas muss man wohl sein, wenn man bereit ist, schwere Verbrennungen zu erleiden, nur um ihnen beizutreten.\n\nNala Govea: Ganz genau.\nOk, wir m\u00fcssen gleich eine Werbepause einlegen, aber wir haben noch Zeit f\u00fcr eine weitere Frage. Was ist mit den Overlords los?\n\nNala Govea: Wer wei\u00df das schon? Es kursieren viele Ger\u00fcchte \u00fcber sie, aber niemand wei\u00df, wer sie sind oder was sie wollen. Was wir wissen, ist, dass sie in erster Linie andere Gangs und deren Operationen angreifen. Einige Leute in Pyro glauben, dass sie tats\u00e4chlich Selbstjustiz \u00fcben, aber ich bin nicht davon \u00fcberzeugt, dass sie f\u00fcr ein h\u00f6heres Gut k\u00e4mpfen. Es ist genauso wahrscheinlich, dass sie versuchen, andere Gangs aus dem Weg zu r\u00e4umen, damit sie die Macht \u00fcbernehmen k\u00f6nnen.\nOder sie schaffen die Voraussetzungen daf\u00fcr, dass jemand anderes die Macht \u00fcbernehmen kann.\n\nNala Govea: M\u00f6glicherweise.\nOkay, wir m\u00fcssen jetzt wirklich eine Pause machen. Wenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen, gibt es mehr von der k\u00fcrzlich pensionierten Nala Govea. Sie wird uns ihre besten Tipps und Tricks bei der Arbeit mit Pyro verraten, und vielleicht kann ich sie dazu \u00fcberreden, uns zu erz\u00e4hlen, wie sie 'Wednesday' Kyles aufgesp\u00fcrt hat.\n\nNala Govea: Sie lieben diese Geschichte.\nDas tue ich, also gehen Sie nicht weg, denn, glauben Sie mir, Sie werden sie nicht verpassen wollen.

I mean, I can\u2019t make myself lucky, but I can develop my skill set.\n\nNala Govea: Guess that\u2019s part of the reason why I like giving that advice. It\u2019s really just trying to tell you that there\u2019s a lot to this job that you won\u2019t be able to control, so you don\u2019t need to try so damn hard to control everything. So much of bounty hunting is about how you react and adjust to things you never could have predicted.\nGreat point and I want to dig into this further. But first let\u2019s take a moment to properly introduce you and your legacy, because I\u2019m guessing that not everyone is familiar with your work and reputation. Partially because, as you said, you don\u2019t like the attention.\n\nNala Govea: Attention only makes the job harder, in my opinion. The less that people notice me or even think about me, the better.\nNow, when I was coming up everybody knew that if you needed to find someone hiding in Pyro, you commed Nala. Not many bounty hunters worked the system regularly and, out of the ones that did, she always knew the lay of the land better than anyone. Stuff like what gangs controlled what areas and which ones were warring with each other.\n\nNala Govea: You didn\u2019t have a choice. Knowing that stuff was the only way to work the system safely.\nSpeaking of, do you remember our first discussion? Because I sure do.\n\nNala Govea: Was that the one where I asked if you wanted to die?\n( Laughter ) It was. I was so nervous and you were being so incredibly kind and patient with me until I started to explain that my plan involved going to Ruin Station\u2014\n\nNala Govea: Which at the time was locked down because the Headhunters were trying to regain control of it from\u2026 oh dammit, what was their name? They\u2019re not around anymore\u2026\nThe Lowside Tomahawks.\n\nNala Govea: That\u2019s them. That was a weird crew.\nThankfully you talked me outta that suicidal idea and gave me some great advice about how to potentially track down my target, which I eventually did thanks to you. After that lesson, any time I got word that a bounty I was tracking had fled to Pyro I\u2026 well, first my heart sank because I knew things just got a lot more dangerous but after that I\u2019d send you a comm. What made you focus on hunting down outlaws in a system controlled by outlaws?\n\nNala Govea: Well, not many people know this but that\u2019s where I was born and raised. So I was comfortable moving about the system, avoiding the solar flares, and I already had a number of good hiding spots picked out for when I needed to lay low. Also still had friends I trusted who kept me updated on developments in certain areas.\nSo you were uniquely positioned. I know a lot of bounty hunters who\u2019d drop a target the second they went into Pyro.\n\nNala Govea: Don\u2019t blame them at all. It\u2019s not an easy system to work even if you\u2019re familiar with it.\nYou remember the last gig you worked in Pyro?\n\nNala Govea: I do, but I\u2019d rather not get into specifics. All I\u2019ll say is that the system has changed drastically over the past few years.\nIn your opinion, what\u2019s changed? Obviously XenoThreat has become a dominant force.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re certainly a factor. Violent gangs have been around Pyro for ages, but using the system to organize attacks on Stanton is a new wrinkle. Most Pyro gangs avoid inter-system operations that\u2019ll attract UEE attention. They\u2019ll do them, but much more discreetly than the Xenos. That way they\u2019ll be left alone to control their own little areas of influence as they see fit.\nIt\u2019s why Pyro can be such a difficult system for outsiders to work. Gang allegiances and areas of influence are always shifting.\n\nNala Govea: It\u2019s survival of the fittest. Actually more like survival of the fiercest, right now.\nSo, I know you\u2019re officially retired, but there are a lot of bounty hunters out there who\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on some of the prominent gangs currently in Pyro.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re all bad and should be avoided if possible. That cover it?\nSound advice. But let\u2019s go gang by gang really quick, like what you used to do with me when I\u2019d ask for an update. Let\u2019s start with XenoThreat.\n\nNala Govea: Dangerous and ultra-violent bastards who are primarily fueled by hate and anti-corporate rhetoric.\nLot of them are ex-UEE military from what I hear.\n\nNala Govea: Could be. Don\u2019t think most of \u2018em are originally from Pyro. A lotta other gangs aren\u2019t happy about all the attention they\u2019re generating by attacking targets in the UEE.\nNext, you mentioned the Headhunters earlier.\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019ve been around forever. Way longer than I\u2019ve been a bounty hunter. No matter what happens in-system, they seem to survive, so they\u2019re extremely dangerous but you can deal with them. They\u2019re smart enough to not always resort to violence.\nWhat\u2019s your take of the Fire Rats?\n\nNala Govea: They\u2019re a weird one. On a lot of levels, they act more like a cult than a gang, but I don\u2019t know any other cults that boost a ship as fast as them. They all tend to be true believers in whatever it is they believe.\nGuess you gotta be if you\u2019re willing to suffer severe burns just to join.\n\nNala Govea: Exactly.\nOk, we have to go to a commercial break in a moment but we\u2019ve got time for one more. What\u2019s going on with the Overlords?\n\nNala Govea: Who knows? There are lots of rumors floating around about them, but no one knows who they are or what they want. What we do know is that they primarily target other gangs and their operations. Some folks in Pyro think they\u2019re actually vigilantes but I\u2019m not convinced they\u2019re fighting for any kind of greater good. It\u2019s just as likely that they\u2019re trying to clear out other gangs so they can take over.\nOr set the stage for someone else to move in.\n\nNala Govea: Possibly.\nOk, we really do need to take that break. When we return we\u2019ll have more with the recently retired Nala Govea. She\u2019ll give us her top tips and tricks when working Pyro, and maybe I can coax her into telling us how she tracked down \u2018Wednesday\u2019 Kyles.\n\nNala Govea: You love that story.\nI do, so don\u2019t go anywhere because, trust me, you won\u2019t want to miss it. TRACKER will be right back."},"links_count":0,"comment_count":15,"created_at":"2022-02-02T02:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"4 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-04-28 14:32:06","valid_relations":["images","links","translations"],"prev_id":18536,"next_id":18538}}
