A good day today. Met with John.Conway outside Ouray base; -Spear- arrived at almost the same time. We grouped and decided to mount an attack on Rochester base. The concensus was that those Junker scumbags had gotten used to being left alone for a while, and we couldn't have that.
While en route to the New York jump hole, the three of us came across Scepter and Ol' Jack'Tar, who joined us. On arrival in New York, there were a few bounty hunters hanging around. We sent them to their cold graves via hot plasma stream and moved on to Rochester. Strangely, their weren't any junkers around. Seconds later, we realised why. A Liberty Rogue squadron was bearing down on us, at least five fighters with a freighter -and- a gunboat. We hadn't planned on this but it didn't matter. Instantly, we broke formation and swooped on the gunboat. It sure wasn't expecting to be blasted by a bunch of Xenos though. I took heavy damage, but used my nanobots and shield batteries to fix that.
After dealing with the rogues, It was decided that we should to proceed to Manhatten, with the intention of causing what damage we could there. Upon arrival, we saw a Liberty Cruiser under the command of Rogue_Warrior. He was to be our first target.
As we moved in to attack, i thought of a friend of mine who had actually been hit by the forward gun of a Liberty Cruiser, safe in the knowlege that it was -never- going to happen again. The cruiser was unprepared, we flew around it like flies, too agile to be hit. A few Liberty fighters turned up as well, but we concentrated fire on cruiser
We were just about to finish it. And a barrage of pure energy almost obliterated me in an instant. Breaking attack, I swung around to see a colossal Liberty Carrier ship under the command of Kay heading towards our small attack group. I shouted a warning to my comrades but kept up the attack on the cruiser, dodging all the while. I could only dodge for so long however and before i knew it, I was sitting in a cold cramped escape pod. My luck held and I was picked up by a friendly. We retreated soon after that.
