The Big Bad Wolf (or BBW for short) is the acting headquarters for the Vilcy faction. While you are there, you can ask them about their ship, if you have a bounty hunting license, you can claim an extra bounty by selling out pirates from a disabled Ganymedian ship or lifepod, or sell out the coordinates to the Ganymedian Anarchy Station.

Bounty Collection

Bounty collection through the BBW will give a much larger payout than what is given on Enceladus Prime. The bounty given directly there is 75,000 E$, just 25,000 over the usual 50,000 E$ return reward for the lifepod. Going through the BBW not only will get you a larger payout, you 50,000 E$ to 150,000 E$ in increments of 50,000, it also gives you the option to keep the lifepod for the extra reward, it also lets you get bounties from disabled ships without having to detonate it for the lifepod.

To collect the bounty, you must attach yourself to the BBW's docking arm, and stay attached for the entire time of the transfer, or it may fail.

Docking with lifepods is decently easy, the lifepod can be anywhere attached to the ship: in the cargo bay, connected to a cradle, or connected to a manipulator arm. Docking with a ship is considerably more difficult, as you have to keep it attached to your manipulator arm, and keeping it there may be a challenge.

You are able to keep whatever you traded bounties for to sell or keep at Enceladus, or deposit them there to continue your dive and to not have to deal with them.

Selling Out Coordinates to the Ganymedian Anarchy Station

This option sends you down the Infiltration storyline.
