Crime & Punishment

You are a scumbag pirate awoxer. You owe me a thanatos carrier.

He really is a scumbag, run a locate agent on him and you'll see... it's well known. Scumbag.

For those that don't know the full story.....

One day I was piloting along (minding my own business) when all of a sudden - I come across this dude (I wrongly assumed he was a noob, but no just a dude). He convos me and as I'm about to cancel the invite I notice a vindicator and a griffin on d-scan in Ami at the top belt. "The day may get interesting" I say to mayself and open the convo.

So this Leto character starts chatting me up like we're old friends from high school. Assuming I just forgot yet another eve pilot I've encountered over the years I decide to play along. As the convo starts to develope I bring in an alt in a bomber to scope out the top belt.

I got him on comms and the conversation was wierd right from the beginning, and to this day I'm not sure if I had ever encountered him prior to this sad sad interaction. He went through this long winded explanation about his junior prom and getting caught wearing chapps and how folks were making fun of him. He kept saying "but the were asslesschaps" and I was just thinking 'is there any other kind??' anyway, you get the point. It was one wierdass metaphore for getting caught with your pants down (though he inserted assless chapps for the anklepants).

Anyway I was watching the griffin peck away at his buffer tank as he was pinned down in the belt in his vindi. He was going on about being tossed back and forth by a crowd of dudes while wearing assless chapps. It was top belt Ami, so the clock was running. It was time to get a bit direct. So I did.

"Leto, where are you going with this.... what's the punchline?"
"I could use a little assistance in the top belt old buddy."
"What kind of assistance?"
"Could you please get this griffin off my back? I really don't need this particular km haunting me forever."

(very long negotiation process)

3 minutes later his pitch was getting kind of high, so I'm thinking that structure bar was changing colors. I was starting to seriously feel for this guy. Between the bleeting on comms and the noob in a griffin pecking away, it was just too much. I struck the deal. He (Leto Thule) would deliver to me 2 thanatos carriers and I (Serendipity Lost) would deliver to him sweet sweet freedom for his griffin pecked vindicator.

I toyed with uncloaking the bomber and finishing him and looting the wreck, but then that mental picture of him lying in the parking lot, covered in dirt trying to pull the flare of his assless chapps over his brushburned buttox. He had absorbed enough for one lifetime, so I took him at his word. I uncloaked the bomber. Popped the griffin and watched as the vindicator was released back into the wild.

I felt good about it. Real good. I had done one of those rare eve good deeds, sure I would get paid for it, but the deed was still good.

That was over a year back now. He's never paid. He's spent many a thread twisting the story trying to weasel his way out of his obligation. I was gracious enough to reduce the payment down to one thanatos carrier in hopes of getting something out of the deal. All for naught I guess. Sometimes I even wish I was one of those guys on junior prom night. Pushing him around and mocking him.... him and his assless chapps.

At this point I can only assume he will continue attempts to twist the truth to get out of it. It's possible that at some point along the way he has begun believing his own lies. I just keep hoping that he'll pay his reduced debt and we can all get along with our lives.

I still feel good about saving him, but the overall lack of gratitude on his part makes me worry about the future of eve.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess it wasn't written in the pirate story thread because it didn't happen. I couldn't even fly a battleship until I joined up with BL, which was a few weeks ago.

Make it up then its a good story still

As I always say never let the truth get in the way of a good story

Members of RvB are not allowed to go to tradehubs during wartime
or have to pay a penalty after losng a ship there.

Anyhow I remember you. Boring, alcoholic station hugger
who has more mouth than skill and keeps talking about his daughter.
But to be fair that's three years ago.

When I was -10 I was more outside station and the docking area than you ever were.

I have no idea why some people might think you're relevant.

You're just a coward hiding at the station.
