Hiring someone to assist us in cleaning up along with authorities to watch that we did not 'lose' something illegal into our hands cost a bit of money. But in the end, we received an inventory of a lot of things. It seemed that when we attacked the place, we had captured them about a week after their last drug run. The records showed that it was about a month for a full load, and so we attacked the place when there was not a lot of the drugs piled up.
We confirmed what happened during the attack and why it went smoother than we thought it should. The main reason the attack went well was that we hit just as the crews were swapping. Three crews made drugs twenty-four hours a day, but they had one security checkpoint right where the entrance was so that they could minimize the ability of their own people to steal from their bosses.
So when we hit them, we hit them at the perfect timing by pure luck. They were in the middle of a transfer, and a third of them had been killed when Nyahdia said hello to them. This massacre cut through their ranks and made the rest of the job much easier for us. The large amount of people we kept seeing trickle in were people responding to the distress call from their base to put up a defense. But the place was not easy to get to, and you had to find the right entrance to the sewers and travel a bit in like we had to do.
All of this led to a very successful attack, and we scored mass manufacturing equipment for chemicals. The local authorities really wanted us to sell them to them, but instead, we put them into shipping containers and put them on a low-priority shipment back to the main base to be warehoused until we needed them. The equipment would cost over a million credits, and some parts would need to be replaced because of the damage we caused in the fight. However, the equipment was solid, and it was cheaper to keep the equipment and repair it when it was needed than to sell it and purchase new equipment when we needed some chemical mass production.
I started to notice that attacking criminal bases was much more profitable than individual bounties, but they were also way more dangerous. In the Saint's forest, when I was crawling through the forest, I made fewer federation credits than attacking bases. That was because the rights associated with attacking those places gave you the rights over what you find there.
I noticed quickly now that law enforcement did not like attacking criminal bases. It was almost like they lacked the capacity to. That was something that I thought would be very weird. In a universe like this, where the Military was strong, the local law enforcement sure had a lot of bounties out there. Most were individuals who, for one reason or another, either escaped from criminal detention or dodged criminal convictions—like they had been prosecuted without being able to defend themselves.
It made me wonder many things which I did not want to think too much about.
So now we were leaving the planet and moving on to the next with everything we would continue shipping through low-priority in the next couple of weeks to save money. The list was a lot longer than I had expected, and I could not help but smile.

The Legal goods received was a list of things we sent back to Burvine. Then, the list of illegal goods was much longer, but nothing was allowed to be kept. They took it all as they watched over, which was a literal ton of some drug they never told me what it was. Then, there were the fifteen slaves that I freed. They had been kidnapped people who were not in the greatest condition after being held for a week. It seemed that there was a group of their workers that liked to let off 'steam' by kidnapping and bringing them down to have fun. The Security would let them then take them and bring them in. It was something the local authorities had not quite caught onto, so there was no bounty for it.
Sucks when you stop a crime before you can make money from it.
Then there was the VIP capture I got, which did have a bounty on their head and not a bad one, either. It was true that we lucked out on this one. This boy should not have been at the factory at all and was 'inspecting' it for a higher-up. The local authorities were VERY happy with his capture, and I got a marked-up capture fee for not keeping him as a slave.

Bounty: Vinny Inlet Polish
Race: Plumkin
Crimes: Criminal Conspiracy. Fraud, Money Laundering, Gang activity.
Federation Bounty: 35000 Federation Credits
Wanted Dead or Alive
Note: Known to have a guard detail and is the son of a high-ranked member of the Jewels Gang. Although the person themselves are not dangerous, their guards are typically in armor and decently armed.

With the capture of Vinny, they gave me an extra ten thousand credits so they could grill him for information. The guy had nothing to offer besides that little bonus, so I sent him on his way and then sent the credits earned from bounties back to pay off my contract. After the last couple of bounties, my bank account looked borderline Millionaire in credits, which was FANTASTIC. Something I really wanted to see go even further.

Back on the ship, I could use the replacement parts, this time for my armor. I tried it on again, and it was still perfectly functional. The plate that got hit was replaced, and it was as good as new. Although I was sure I should get someone to look at it, at this point, I was okay until I found someone competent.
Now, I laid back in bed after a hard gaming session, and I thought about how I was getting closer and closer to the end of the tutorial. I wanted to make more big plays like this last gang base and make a ton of Credits before leaving the tutorial. The Ships were coming in, and in a month, we will be sending ships all over the local star cluster to make more credits for us.
I could not wait to get into the main universe, where everything was not as fast-paced. I could relax more and not be hardcore gaming. Honestly, I really needed to let out some steam. So with that, I lay back, put the time to one-to-one, and logged out, heading back into the real world in order to relax a bit.
A moment later, I was waking up in the pod, and I almost stumbled out as I felt hungry as hell. Getting out, I headed to my fridge and started to cook something substantial. I took my time, and I finished cooking. After about half an hour, I put food out on my counter, pulled up my phone, and thought about what I should do. I thought about the couple and did not feel like going so hard on a sissy and his hot wife. That sounded tedious for me tonight, but I still wanted to relieve some stress, and I groaned as I pulled up my girlfriend's number. I looked down at the number and felt weird.
Amber and my relationship felt weird. We were both dominant, or at least half the time, I was dominant, and although I liked being the bottom sometimes, that did not mean I liked being the bottom all the time. Tonight was one of those nights that I did not want to be a bottom. So, we would have to figure something out about that. I think we could find someone to enjoy and play together. The last time with Sissie's wife was not so great, although that one time she broke the 'boundary' I set for my dominant partner's mental health was something she took in stride and even seemed to enjoy. If she could take that from me, she might have a small bit of switch inside her.
I hit the call button without really thinking, and I heard the phone ring twice before I heard a groggy, "Hey beautiful," Amber said, her voice sounding like she had just woken up a bit. I heard her cough, and then she cleared her throat. "Sorry, I'm just getting out of the pod. I just finished a mission in Galaxy Online, and I am a little out of it, gimme a sec."
"Oh, how was the mission?" I asked, curious.
"It's not bad. It went half decently, and nothing major went wrong. Being an Agent in a tier three federation military does not give me great gear. I got five thousand credits for it, so," Her voice trailed off. "Things are expensive," Amber complained, and I decided to keep my reply back.
"How much do you get per mission?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, Five thousand credits is about average; my best mission so far paid out ten thousand credits," Amber sighed, "But the Federation military makes you buy your own damn gear after the basics. So, as an agent, it is just so poor that I have been paying out everything as I get it. At least they give us the ammo for free," Amber complained, and I wanted to wince.
Although I paid for all my logistics, I was making more than ten times that on average. Then again, I think there might be a larger gap between a tier-three planet and a tier-two planet, let alone a tier-one or core world, than I thought. Maybe they just pay shit there because they can get away with it, unlike Tier Two and One Planet. It is like living in a first-world nation like Canada or the United States versus living in Africa. Sure, the cost of living is lower, but the jobs pay an eighth of what the same job would be in a first-world nation.
Huh, I wonder if that is exactly it.
"I am glad I got off a tier three planet as quickly as possible then," I commented without really thinking.
"Yeah, too bad I can't join a tier two federation military or tier one; it would work so much better, but as soon as I finish the contract, I am going to leave this planet."
"Maybe you can join me if I can bring all my stuff into the Main universe. But before that, how about blowing off some steam?" I asked, "A bit of a date night. I want to top someone, and I thought we could go hunting together."
"Now, THAT is something I can get behind. What about that Ola guy?" Amber asked.
"I want an excuse to dress up a bit," I replied with a pout.
"That shouldn't stop you from dressing you up, but we can also make that a backup choice. Same place as we met?" Amber asked.
"Sounds fantastic; when should I get there by?" I asked.
"I could pick you up," Amber said.
"I think it would be faster for us to meet there and then go home after playing at the club. What do you think?"
"Hmmm," Amber hummed into the phone. We will be playing there then," she said slowly. "I would like to bring you back to my place, though," Amber admitted. "Even if we don't play, I would like you to spend the night." Amber finished, much to my surprise, and I found myself smiling and playing with my hair before I even knew it. My face was hot, and I liked the sound of that.
"Okay, since you asked," I said, hiding my blush behind the phone, and Amber chuckled.
"Good girl, I will see you there in no more than an hour and a half. That gives you plenty of time to get ready to be my slut," Amber said, "See you soon," She finished and hung up. I was blushing harder now, and I turned to the bathroom and stripped as I headed in to get ready for my date.
Amber did all the right things to get me going, and I liked that.
