Automaton Impediment Part 2

Baihua, daughter of Heng, [also called] White Carnation, to my friends, once more my greeting; to my foes, my [malediction].

After working for Sister [Kharitania] and travelling to a new station, I began my [missioning] for a Gallente executive called Lady [Delia]. Having apparently [displeased] her, I found another agent within her honorable corporation and spent hours undertaking a series of rounds of missions -- even one or two of those provided by covert government agents -- and eventually I was accorded a [meeting] with one of the higher-level [executives] who consented to intercede on my behalf.

Lady [Delia] accorded me another mission -- fetching a datacore from a wrecked ship. Reading "between the lines" (a phrase taught me by a Minmatar friend), I [guessed] that there had been pirates involved. [Seeing] that I was also being offered over a hundred thousand ISK as a bonus for bringing the core back quickly, I also [guessed] that Lady [Delia] suspected that there were pirates waiting for the capsuleer assigned to the recovery.

So I was ready when I found myself over 20K from the wreck, and five pirates in orbit around it. No sooner had I cleared them, than another group arrived. But when a third set turned up, I regret to say that I lost my [temper], and charged at them. Then I [grabbed] the core and warped back.

Now the runour is that her Ladyship may wish me to travel to another system. I shall pray and meditate and then submit myself to her scrutiny.

Fare well, my friends; fear me, my enemies.
