Father and Son.

Nearing the New Year and I had to get some kills. I undocked and went hunting once again, going through the usual routine and flying through the triangle as I usually do. I passed through Eifer three times with no luck and on the fourth circuit spotted x2 rifters.

By now - I could scan and make ready automatically but the excitement is still the same. Paqman and his partner was in belt 5 - together. Can my rifter take on two rifters? Only one way to find out. I hit the warp to zero option and composed myself. I was going to take out the oldest player first and then pop the second one. Me arriving in their midst (I hope) would scatter then and scare them.

So it was - I was locked and battered by two rifters but I prevailed. My rifter was battered but I was elated. I killed the first rifter and got the pod. I wanted the other rifter but he warped out. I did manage to get the second rifter as he had warped to the nearest celestial. I managed to grab him too; he was hanging around for some reason. I managed to get grab this second pod too.

I chatted to Paqman (the first rifter kill) and it turns out that the second rifter was piloted by his son. That is so cool, a father and son team! The father asked me if I could spare his son but he had no money. I had already killed the dad but decided to let the son go. It was the new year after all.
