About that biowaste....

[Bacalao]

So there are all these really high paying missions to move biowaste around the galaxy. Odd, isn't it? Unless it isn't biowaste...I mean, if you had something you needed transported a couple hundred light years, something you moved your shop to the fringes of civilization to produce and now wanted to pay someone tons of money to move back into the core....wouldn't you slap it in a cargo container, label it with something no one wants to open and pay an independent contractor to get it where it needs to go?
-
What I'm saying is, the biowaste you're smuggling is contraband, labeled as poo. Of course they don't tell you what is really in there, that would be insane, after all, you're more than willing to believe they just really want that poo shipped, like 6M Cr want it moved....silly commanders.

Just some thoughts, from perhaps, an over-active imagination.

Hmm.... Now you may have a point there my friend... But do I really want to go back there and find out?

I wish there was a way to turn it over the authorities, or investigate it, or take it to a third party in exchange for info on it. Maybe one day we'll be able to jog back to our hold, pop the lid and see what's really in there....or just end up super stinky.

What would be so important to smuggle into populated spaces?

Thargoids weapowns and ship parts?

Who knows? Drugs, weapons, slaves, information, spies, experimental medicines, stolen jewels, bioweapons, etc. It's a big wide galaxy, maybe some exiled politician just wants to get some dirt into his old system to make life hard for the current political leader. Maybe a current political leader can see things going south and wants to get people close to him out before things get ugly. The possibilities are endless, look at the mission, look at the faction giving it, and the economy you're in when you get it then let a tiny bit of imagination run with it.

It may not be Biowaste but it may be some Good Shi......pping

Well alcohol is technically a by-product of yeast working on a grain so that is technically "biowaste". So really it is all home brewed alcohol ( poitín/ moonshine ).

In the year 3301, some yeast was mixed with progenitor cells and performance enhancers, when used to ferment grain the result was 700 proof liquor, scientists don't know exactly how it's even possible, and they don't seem to care. Street name: Biowaste*.


*Biowaste is illegal in 131,674 jurisdictions, not suitable for children, keep out of reach of pets, if use results in prolonged burning, see a doctor, he may want to try some.

700 proof lol, the fumes alone would corrode your ship, not mention the fumes are extremely flammable.

The only thing you can smell in space...must be how all those cops and pirates know exactly where you are.

I assumed it was for growing potatoes on far away planets!

Mushrooms. "Feed them poo and keep em in the dark..."

 

[Jigster]

I refuse to ship biowaste in case one of the containers is leaky!

Not nice in zero-G.

PLOT twist sothis smuggling mission actually contains our rare gold crystals. Hence why we only get 3 supplies

Hehe, and there I was wondering why someone paid me 450.000Cr to haul 5 tons of Hydrogen Fuel into a System 120LY away - which itself has Hydrogen Fuel for 120Cr/ton, readily available

The issuing Faction wondered about that as well - but the Canisters were Clean, Clear & Scan legal. And as independent contractors, they didn't bother too much.
I was sure there was more to that Hydrogen Fuel than what met the eye - but the Security Scans passed without hitch and it was an easy job.
I don't care if some weird cult now worships these high-value "sacred" Hydrogen Fuel Canisters hauled from way above Alliance space now, they're 120LY away and they obviously got cash to burn. Lots of it. I don't ask 2nd questions.

Probably the same myth like the Waters of Shintara (oddly not named Waters of Shinrarta - but noone cares) that some believe has medical qualities. It buys - it sells. Fine with me

That's something I hadn't considered, great point! I saw a special a long while back where these people were buying this super expensive water, $100/bottle or some such ridiculousness. It was just water, but it "felt better", "digested better", "hydrated more efficiently"...you never know what you can pull over on someone.
