Commander Neuroplay's Log
I was just trying to get some dough for a new ship and prep for the deep black; I should have known that there would be a catch. Without reading the dossier, I took a 10k transport mission and hightailed out of the shady station I was in. Thankfully no ships were interested in my meager haul as I launched from a pirate station and glanced at the galaxy map to plot a course to what should have been an easy trip. Turned out to be a long 45 jump haul into a desolate arm with few offshoots. I found myself lucky to fuel up at Archambault station on the Verbigien System when the next thing I know I've got minutes left on the deadline counter and I'm locked in orbit around a red dwarf by the name of Ross 748. I had to abandon the mission and now I've got a 7k cr fine in the client's system JUST when I starting to get a good reputation. Long Story short, always read the fine print.
See you later Space Cowboy...
