i suppose after this we may get hunted by someone and we did get banned from fuelrat chat but honestly it was well worth it. Once again we pull a heist off and most of it required the compliance of our victim.
im going to do a story on what happened from start to finish, so here we go
it began with getting all the dms members on at the agreed time which was 6pm and we ran through the plan about how we are going to get the fuelrat to us and once we have him at bay how and who would we get the payment off for his safe release. This first bit hitched on the fuel rat himself as he could of done a lot to get away, we all met up at the agreed location (bd 356) and went into normal space. Once everyone arrived I went on my laptop and requested fuelrat assistance where upon the fuelrat was sent to give me my very much needed fuel. I got into a party with the fuelrat quickly to calm myself and him as the excitement was very high and he was slightly suspicious of me as I still had my shields on which he detailed in the party that it usually is a sign of an ambush. I didn't think my shields being on was anything that could give me away but you learn something new everyday. The cmdr did notify the operators of my shields being on but I used my excuse of I didn't know and it takes forever to get them back on. After a few mins the cmdr comes back after having some issues which was a cover story for him calling the operators about my shields being up. Prior to the heist I wrote a paragraph which I was going to stick in the fuelrat chat once the cmdr dropped in, the message said
Attention fuel rats in this chat, we are dark marauders andwe have taken a fuel rat hostage and we want 300t of imperial slaves deliveredto our location in an unarmed anaconda in exchange for your fuel rat. We do notwant to kill this cmdr but if you try anything then we will be forced toexecute him. We will be watching the traffic entering the system and we expectfull compliance from you for the sake of this cmdr life and that we do not seeany armed ships enter the system. The cmdr will stay with us until we havesuccessfully picked up the cargo and once it has been collected we will leavepeacefully o7.
The cmdr did drop in where upon he was greeted by 6 members of the dark marauders, 3 cutters, 1 vette, 1 krait, 1 mamba and later a 7th in an anaconda. Meanwhile im watching the fuelrat chat and it isn't positive, one cmdr put, this is why I have you blocked. This cmdr surprised me as I always liked him as he was a compliant customer in the past so it was bit of a shock that he would block me to avoid being pirated by me given he could of gotten worse but that his choice. The cmdr managed to high wake away as we were worried we would kill him as he was a kheelback. Cmdr hairy polo chased and captured him then the armada came to secure our victim. This time the cmdr wasn't getting away as we reassured him that we mean no harm as long as he didn't run again. He put in the fuelrat chat that he was a hostage again and so it was back on. Once we had him at bay cmdr hairy polo went to social media to spread the word about the incident meanwhile the fuelrats are telling him to log or blow up, try to escape. The cmdr told us what they said and we explained to him why that isn't a great idea and he agreed. The cmdr didn't have a lot of money so you can grasp how much he valued his kheelback and how this was a new situation for him so he was a bit worried, hints why he ran earlier. The fuel rats were not going to pay terrorists even if one of theirs was on the line, to prove to the community that this was happening we set up two streams on mixer. Within an hour there was people watching, some fuelrats, some cmdrs from drty group. Later on cmdr stasis wolf offered to pay for the safe release of our hostage for 300t of gold. The fuel rats meanwhile constantly gave the guy solutions instead of just paying up and they started to threaten to remove him from the group if he didn't log out or high wake as he said it makes them look bad but if they had just payed then they wouldn't have that problem. Time went on and the fuel rats then threatened to kick him out if we didn't end our streams, now I couldn't care less about the fuel rats on how they felt about our stream but I didn't want to get this cmdr kicked out so we decided to take the stream down where upon they banned him from the group anyway. An player faction known as drty turned up to prevent us getting payed and IED were monitoring the situation as the leader asked if the cmdr needed any help. Cmdr stasis wolf turned up to save the day so we took turns collecting the payment in an system close by but due to instancing the drty group couldn't catch us and once we started getting the gold we let the hostage go free. We were still in the party with him after it all ended with drty getting slightly upset of our escape and the fuelrat abandoned by his group. After a bit of a chat the fuelrat who was our hostage joined us instead.
