As i was leaving Ouray, today, I get a message out of the clear black from someone claiming to be a Xeno agent working within the Junkers. He warned me of a coming Junker raid on Tau-45. I was a bit skeptical, of course, but it deserved some investigation. I didn't want to leave Ouray undefended, so I went by myself to check it out. After I got there and set up patrols around the jump hole, Sunbeam comes in and joins me on the patrols.
After a bit of waiting, sure enough, here come the Junkers, led by our old friend, .:j:.Tinkerbell. They brought an Arrow, 2 Collectors, and an Armored Transport. Despite some good flying, Sunbeam got hit by several mines from Tinkerbell in his Arrow. I scooped up his pod and continued the fight. Tinkerbell and one of the Collectors fell to the Tau-45 Guard. I managed to get the other Collector myself, and then chased the Armored Transport all around Tau-45 since he stayed on thrusters and engine kill the ENTIRE time.... I still managed to put a hurtin' on it after a lengthy chase, and he engaged cruise engines and ran. Before he left, I'm pretty sure I saw him tractoring in his allies' escape pods, since the guard and my self didn't have a chance to grab them. There's got to be a special place in hell just for Tinkerbell, and I mean to see him take it someday....
Hopefully the Junker congress learned a little something about intruding on Xeno space. If not, we'll just have to send the message again....
