“Venom, that Thrasher from yesterday is back, in Evati this time, ratting just like he was before”, Venom jolted from a small daydream about a Pirate Chick pinup pic she recently saw.

“No way, won’t that guy ever learn?”

“Let’s get him Venom, eventually we kill enough of his Thrashers we get a nice payout”

Venom checked the scanner, there he was, in a fight with the Archangels at the first belt of planet VI. She eased the bow of the Rifter class vessel towards that cluster and willed the ship to warp to zero.

“Xandie, we are going in, either he learned from yesterday or it’s going to be a repeat”

“Roger Venom”

The “Garbage Can With Teeth” named “Tart” as Venom so lovingly referred to her Rifter, came out of warp at the belt, the Thrasher was 5,000k from the zero point.  With tackle mods and guns charged, Venom came out of warp and within a few seconds had the Thrasher pointed and it’s shields were melting.

She would have to share this kill with the Archangel, he already had some of the shields dispatched.

It was clear, this Thrasher would again fall to Venom’s guns without a problem.

Coms lit up and the pilot of the Thrasher initiated communication this time.

“Ransom?”

Opening a private channel to the Thrasher, Venom thought she might give him a chance to play the game as it should be, Give the Pirate your stuff.

“5 mil and your ship and pod are let go”

“1 mil, the Thrasher isn’t worth 5 mil”

“Sorry, 5 mil or you will be sent home in goo”

“Stop firing at me”, the Thrasher was frantic in coms.

“I have stopped, you will have to tell the NPC to stop”, Venom returned.

“Again, 5 mil and you go free”

“1 mil, it’s more than you will get off my wreck”, the Thrasher was starting to get smug.

“You have 5 seconds to transfer 5 mil to my account or you will be sent home”

“No”

“No it is, enjoy the explosion”

Venoms guns started to fire again, it wasn’t taking long to melt the rest of the shields, armor, and finally in a brilliant blue flash the ship blew up.

Within seconds the pod was locked and Venom opened the coms channel again.

“Tell ya what, same deal for the pod, 5 mil now or you head to the clone vats”, Venom informed in the ships coms.

“No”

As the pod fluid floated into space next to the frozen corpse, Venom wondered how long it would take for this pilot to learn how it really all works.

“Venom, salvage list shows one mod we can sell for a mil, looks like we got that mil he offered anyway.”, Xandie always did have a smug tone about her when she was rummaging through other peoples stuff.
