Good Samaritan

Sometimes good intentions are just wasted.
I'd just jumped into Inleus system, north of the Teread Region in sector 1.
Cobra Mark I: Help!
Hmm! Pirates! I wound up the engines and orientated the ship for an attack run. At 20k out I couldn't do much except pick off the Anaconda lead ship. Instead I decided to hit the military injectors and power in.
Cobra Mark I: Squeak! From Hell's heart I stab at thee!
Huh???
I was only 7k out when I saw the unmistakable blue globe of a Quirium Cascade Mine explosion.
Here I was, injecting in at high speed directly into a chain reaction from hell. What would you do? Right! About face and carry on with the crazy speed to anywhere.
I never did find out who the idiot with a twitchy trigger finger was. The last I saw, he/she/it, powered out like I did. I think I counted at least 7 explosions. Then again I wasn't paying much attention to the aft-screen, I was just praying like mad to a being I don't believe in to save me.
