RE: Standard report.

Well, last night myself and some of the chaps took a wander down to Liberty in order to rent out some of their virtual simulation facilities and attempt some war games. After a while training, we decided to call it a night and hit the company accommodation on Planet Pittsburgh. After finding myself suitably rested, I decided I would go out and find some trouble. Failing in that task, I decided I would make some.

Having wandered to Colorado, I decided to complete the journey through to Kepler and visit Ames Research Station. Officially, I was checking to see if we could pinch any of Kusari's H Fuel slightly closer to the source, but in reality I was scoping the area out for Kusari convoys. Deciding I would push my luck, I jumped to Shikoku and took up a position one lane ring away from the jump gate.

Eventually, my patience was rewarded as the SIS-Yamakashi near enough fell into my lap. That'd teach him not to look where he was going. I was going to request he drop all his nanogear, shoot it, denounce the Emperor over system comms, then sing the Bretonian national anthem. He decided he wasn't game for this and attempted to shoot me first, partway through my first demand. Now acting fully within the remit of 'self defence', I went weapons hot.

Of course, they don't breed them smart in Kusari. This pint-sized pinhead was obviously suffering from an intellectual deficit, considering he'd mixed Type 2 and 4 turrets and was attempting to use both at the same time. In the business, this is otherwise known as a 'Really Bad Idea'. I promptly got in place behind him and staved his skull in, with little more than some minor strafe-work being required to evade his increasingly haphazard barrages.

Of course, the chase ended in Kepler, so I was moderately concerned about the bugger reporting me to the Liberty Navy. I thought I had best cover my back, just in case. To facilitate this, I contacted a duty Naval officer, and 'explained' the situation. Of course, I had 'defended' myself from the Samura captain, who had seen my Clydesdale as an easy target. Naturally.

The deed itself.

[18.07.2011 12:44:42] Bowex)Leeson: Hullo there! I've just run into a spot of bother in the Kepler system.
[18.07.2011 12:45:17] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: That's a bit far from here, I doubt I'll make it in time.
[18.07.2011 12:45:31] Bowex)Leeson: Oh, don't worry, it's all sorted now. I just wanted your advice really, ma'am.
[18.07.2011 12:45:39] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: Oh, right. What about?
[18.07.2011 12:46:02] Bowex)Leeson: Well, I was travelling to Ames Research Station to, rather cheekily, see if I could poach some H Fuel.
[18.07.2011 12:46:25] Bowex)Leeson: While I was heading there, I ran across a Samura transport called the SIS-Yamakashi.
[18.07.2011 12:46:47] Bowex)Leeson: He was less than pleased to see me and thought my Clydesdale would be an easy target. The brute attacked me!
[18.07.2011 12:47:04] Bowex)Leeson: I just wanted to ask what I should do in relation to this.
[18.07.2011 12:47:30] Bowex)Leeson: You see, I'm rather terrified of the fact that the brigand may attempt to file a fraudulant report against me with your -
[18.07.2011 12:47:32] Bowex)Leeson: - good selves.
[18.07.2011 12:47:44] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: You dont need to do anything, but you can file a report to counter the one you think he will file.
[18.07.2011 12:48:08] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: Besides, it's not as if Kusari will defend the interests of the independent worlds to govern independently.
[18.07.2011 12:48:18] Bowex)Leeson: Righto. I'll see if my guncams recorded any proof. I'm afraid the whole encounter was rather sudden.
[18.07.2011 12:48:54] Bowex)Leeson: Still, I taught the bugger a thing or two about unwarranted agression! Last time the cad will be trying that!
[18.07.2011 12:48:56] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: Do your best, but I doubt it will result in any rammifications for Bowex regardless of the outcome.
[18.07.2011 12:49:19] Bowex)Leeson: Right. Thank you for your time, ma'am. The worst part is, there wasn't even any H Fuel here.
[18.07.2011 12:49:48] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: Oh dear... well, it's only a small station after all.
[18.07.2011 12:50:14] Bowex)Leeson: Quite. Such a dissapointment. Oh well - such is life. Cheero then! Have a pleasant day.
[18.07.2011 12:50:25] [LN]-Christina.Robinson: You too, Leeson.

That's all for now, chaps. Keep up the good work.
