T'day was one o' dem days that ye be reflectin' on with mixed feelings...
I prepared meself a new bomber t'day ta counter the rise o' trade in ours precious libty...
Shortly after I took me fighter out fer a lil' spacewalk 'cause dere was junker activity in de system an' dere was some hogosha involved aswell... One o' dem junkers managed to get 'way from me by usin' de libty lawfull bases as cover... De second one wouldnt show 'is face an' was appearantly hidin' out on denver... immagine a junker piece o' filth defilin' my place o' birth! As furious as dis made me dis stinkin' rat wouldnt fight me an' stayed docked so dere was nothin' I could do! De hogosha fortunantly was all to willin' to leave libty.
A lil' later Ringneck reported in an' we set out together ta liberate libty!
We soon encountered 3 tradin' vessels headed to new york an' halted dem just outside de lane. Whilst talkin' to dem a piece o' junker filth arived. We decided dis would be a good show fer dem traders too an' entered battle... His fat ship was soon taken down by a masterfully placed blob o' antimatter fired by Ringneck.
With dis inconvenience out o' de way we continued with dem traders. After sum' talkin' dey were obviously no' interested in hearin' ours reasons nor motives so we handed 'em their choice...
Thinkin' we would be takin' all o' it dey were preparin' ta die rather den handin' it over so we proceeded to engage... Unfortunantly dere was some confusion an' we managed ta kill only one o' dem, even though it was de largest un' it was still a disapointment.
After a lil' patrollin' we picked up chatter from sum' particulaly violent naval fellers. Dey was tossin' threats an' tryin' to lure us by insultin' us fer quite a while... we decided ta steer clear o' dem since dey's not our primary objectives nowadays. However dey intercepted us at de pueble-NY gate trade lane an' we say battle was innevitable. Antonio Backus an' Galen Anderson were all geared up ta fight us...
I rushed back to ouray ta pick up me fighter as Ringneck had a lil' conversation with 'em. After gettin' back Ringneck opened fire an' we were engaged. The battle was long an' exitin' unfortunantly Ringneck was still flyin' his bomber an' he was takin' a lot o' hits. Eventualy I had ta give 'im my bots ta keep 'im alive.
Thin's started lookin' grim untill Galen who had been damaged severely over the duration o' de battle sudenly ran into his own wingmans mine. *sigh* dis is what ye get when ye send out rookies to do a dangerous job...
Almost right after Galen died a navy lass named Christina joined in de fight. Bein' heavyly battered allready Ringnecks engines collapsed an' his ship was inevitably shot down. Luckyly he managed ta steer his pod clear from de fight an' avoid bein' captured. Sudenly de fight was down ta two versus one. Havin' already lost my bots I sustained pretty heavy damage in a short period o' time. But then in one pass I managed ta jam a mine right into Antonio's face an' his ship went up in flames. After a short an' intensive battle with Christina I suffered fatal collateral damage from my own mine hittin' her ship an' my ship went down. Luckyly the blast covered my podd swifltly cruisin' away from de scene.
One o' dem plenty patrols picked me up an' brought me back safely to Ouray.
All in all dis day was a day o' mixed feelings. Dem navy wont get 'way with dis kind o' stunts as easy next time!
