[color=#CCFFFF]Good Afternoon Sir!

Here is my mission report for 22 November 819 A.S.

I had just dropped off some Molly prisoners at BPA Newgate when I received an EMA message that Avengers had been spotted in Dublin.

I immediately told the BPA ground crew to stand-clear for a scramble launch and jumped into my Templar.

Once I had cleared the minefield I engaged my cruise engines and headed for Sheffield Station.
By now a number of other BAF and Bowex pilots had responded to the EMA. Bowex)Angry.Badger3 informed me the battle had moved to the Leeds system; I set course for the Leeds jump hole as the quickest route.

However, out of nowhere a Reaver fired 1, 2, 3 missiles at me! I quickly evaded and dropped counter measures, hit engine kill and rotated 180'€™ to face him! Fortunately for me the CM'€™s did their job and as now I was drifting at 340kps he could not use CD or get a missile lock.
I reported that I had encountered a Reaver ship (ID: Shadow.Reaver) on the Group Comm's. BAF|Skirmister replied that they had Leeds under control and that I should hunt the Reaver down.

I punched in the new co-ordinates and plotted my course for New London; as this was the direction the Reaver went in after he gave up trying to CD my engines.

I found the Reaver nears Gateshead Station shooting BPA snubs and ordered him to power down his weapons and surrender; I shall not repeat his reply sir, it was most offensive!
I asked him what his intentions were, he replied to put my head on his mantle piece; whatever a mantle piece is; I hit the thrusters and charged him.

His ship is a GMG designed bomber, but I managed to keep him in my sights as my ship seemed to have a better turn rate; however when I switched guns, he managed to get a good turn on me and took out my ships shields.

I evaded, strafed and took down his shields and half his hull in my next pass. The fight was going well; when suddenly my controls jammed, I could not turn or strafe; 3 seconds later I hit vacuum; stars exploding inside my head, when I realised my ship had disintegrated and the emergency ejection system had fired the cockpit clear of my exploding Templar.
I'€™m really grateful to guy that invented this system; that'€™s the third time it'€™s saved my life.

The Reaver had obviously managed to get a lock in those 3 seconds and fired a SNAC weapon; I was fortunate he didn'€™t see my pod in the wreckage; otherwise I wouldn'€™t be here today to make this report. Unfortunately the energy released in the explosion completely destroyed all gun camera data; voice only was recovered.

Let this be a lesson to all pilots; don'€™t fly in a straight line for longer than a second, that'€™s all it takes and also get your ships checked so you don'€™t find yourself with frozen controls or worse; sucking the vacuum of space.

Good day to you Sir!
