Captain's log: 2952-10-18-001
I was watching a Youtube video of a guy doing trade runs in his Caterpillar, so I thought, why not? So I picked up Sc00ter and we set out into the black to the planetary system of Arccorp, on our way to ArcCorp Mining Area 056 on Wala, to fill my Caterpillar's cargo hold with ore to trade at Area 18. Everything was going according to plan and we were on our final approach to the landing pad when suddenly, I spot a red blip on my radar! Well, I was not going to take any chances so I aborted my landing procedure and flew away as fast as the Cat was letting me! I then decided to head to a different planetary system and flew towards Hurston. Once there, I punched the coordinates in the nav computer to HDMS-Hahn on Magda. On our way, we received a message from Cap-Obvious and he wanted to be part of the crew for this trip so he managed to join us at HDMS-Hahn and the crew of the Cat was complete. Once at the trading terminal, I grab all the Diamond they had in stock, about half the cargo hold of the Cat. Once loaded, we set out to HDMS-Perlman to, hopefully, full the cargo hold of the ship for maximum profit. We land at HDMS-Perlman and I manage to fill the rest of the cargo hold with Diamonds. In the meantime, Cap-Obvious went out to fetch Sc00ter a helmet because she forgot her helmet at ARC-L1! Once done, we take off and make our way to Loreville on Hurston to sell the Diamond we purchased on Magda for a nice 60,000 aUEC of profit! Not too bad for 45 minutes of work! And, like most things in the verse, it couldn't stay that way unfortunately! We were hit by a 30k crash and ended up all on Bajini Point. We called out the Cat again for another run and again, we encountered some issues but first, I have to mention that my Quantum display was acting up all this time. My target locations would disappear on a regular basis and I had to reset the Quantum drive all the time just to be able to lock on a location to jump to, very annoying! So, my ship is on the landing pad and we all board it no issues. I look at my fuel level and notice they are quite low so I request a refuelling and guess what, I'm denied! I am unable to refill my tanks! Ok then, fine... we leave the station and head for Lyria since I had a full crew and they were ready to defend the ship if we encountered pirates. We get to Lyria, more precisely at Shubin Mining Facility SAL-2 and on exiting the ship, Cap-Obvious and me get out from the elevator but Sc00ter was left in the ship. She decides that, instead of getting the lift up, to jump out of the ship! Well, I don't know if she raw Quantanium on her or what, but the ship blew up!!! We are here, stranded on Lyria, not able to get any ship with a drive that could get us out of this mess! While discussing various ways to get us out of this predicament, my crew notices a ship on final approach to SAL-2. Immediately I get in the chat asking the captain of the ship fore help. It turned out that the captain was monitoring the chat because he did saw us and was kind enough to give us a ride to the nearest station, thank you A-Maxwell, that was greatly appreciated! But, by now you must think that's not a pretty bad way to finish a trade session right, right? That it could have been worse? Well, the end of the story got worse! The ship blew up... again! So yeah, most of us died, at least I did since I was still in the ship, and found myself back at ARC-L1, my port of call! A well, that was too much for one evening so I decided to call it a night and dismissed my crew to go do whatever they wanted! Well, thanks for all who participated in that fun evening, and A-Maxwell, sorry for blowing up you Phoenix, it was a beautiful ship! ;-)
