Well that sucks.
The elevators from the Metroline to the space port were not working so I went back to the Commons and took the surface. I have no idea where at the space port the surface entrance is, it's not called out or signposted so when I got close I called up the Mobi and hailed the spaceport from my Tumbril - I was allocated a parking place on top of the space port, so I had to drive around to the back so I could access the top. Nearly at the top, the Tumbi flips. I still have the icon for the parking space and hope there is a pedestrian entrance and start running.
I and get on to the roof of the port. It's biiiig up there. After a while a message pops up on my helmet hud saying it's government property and I'm trespassing, well I'm being guided to a spot on top so I've got permission to be here, oh no I don't I've got a crime stat now. I get within a few hundred meters of the icon and a voice cuts in saying it's taken too long and they are giving my landing spot to someone else. Well wonderful thanks. I get to where the Icon was...
It's a hangar for space/aircraft. Even if I had been in the Tumbril, I would not have been able to get inside.
Again, the trespassing warning flashes up and I feel like I've been setup by those rotten Babbage Hippies. I run on with my heart rate going through the sky, and jump - the Trespassing warning goes and I'm freefalling, so no Level 2 trespassing stat but now I've got to find a way of surviving a fall off the top of New Babbage space port.
I don't find a way, at least not in the time between jumping and hitting the ground.
I spawn in Grim Hex and now I've got to find a way to get shot of this trespassing charge.
Damned Babbage Hippies.
Dear New Babbage Traffic Control.
I recently experienced an unfortunate misunderstanding with your team, where I was directed by yourselves on to the roof of your spaceport, resulting in a trespassing charge and a Level 1 crime-stat against myself and an unfortunate and very painful fall from the top of the building you yourselves directed me to be on top of.
Awaking from my fall, I was disappointed to find the medical team appears to have had a sense of humor, as they had not relocated my unconscious body back to my luxury Hab in New Babbage as is the usual convention in such circumstances - instead they had carted me half way across the system and deposited me into one of GrimHex's finest domiciles, and still with a crime stat that you yourselves had directed me to have.
I immediately traveled over to Security Station Kareah to clear up this confusion, only to find an air filtration system issue meant there station was empty with no one there to help, and I didn't have a security pass to remedy this on their terminals myself.
Upon leaving, a Crusader Security Representative approached me with some Tigerstreak gunfire, apparently assuming I was on the way in to hack the abandoned systems. To say the misunderstandings were racking up was an understatement. My attempts to explain were useless, so I attempted to disable their engines to allow some time to talk, only to draw the attention of reinforcements who proceeded to destroy my ship and add another two levels to my crime stat.
Having awoken from a second bout of unconsciousness in less than 30 minutes, I found myself in the Klescher correctional facility on Hurston. Unfortunately due to the low gravity on that moon, I overestimated how far I could jump and fell to my death off gantries three times in a row. This put my sentence from an initial 1 hour and 30 minutes to a regrettable 3 hours as treating my injuries incurred medical costs which were going to have to be paid for somehow. I offered to pay with UEC but was accused of attempted bribery and was informed in a correctional facility, you can pay with time, or labor.
Having been unconscious five times in a row, I was determined to not need the assistance of medics again and instead set to work in the mines, bringing my total time inconvenienced to a mere two hours.
Having read my account I am sure you are no doubt aware that this was of some great frustration to myself, and I would like to know how you intend to recoup me for the costs in fuel and a destroyed ship, and apologize for the inconvenience caused?
Kind Regards,
NaffNaffBobFace.
