Brothers and sisters,
I returned fom Buffalo Base and was debriefed on Malta. Afterward, I picked up on long range sensors the ship Scornstar in the Tau 37 system. He is a known Order gunboat, so I decided to engage him in my Sabre to try to collect Giovanni's prize money. I engaged, but was unable to take his shields down with my Inferno. He was slowly wearing through my shield batteries and I was thinking of retreating when none other than Giovanni appeared to assist. Together, we engaged and destroyed Scornstar with no further difficulty. Unfortunately, Giovanni's assistance forfeited any prize winnings.
I returned to Malta to repair my ship and returned to low orbit to find Zapp and the Blue Lotus Grandmaster ship as well. The Grandmaster ship docked with Malta and shortly thereafter a mercenary flying a Bounty Hunter gunboat emerged from the docking ring. Apparently, his presence went unnoticed on Malta, because I'm sure my fellow brothers and sisters would not have let him visit without consequence. The callsign of this ship, I believe, was [NoFear]Mrav (possibly inaccurate, I didn't take much note of his name).
He refused to leave Omicron Alpha so Zapp and I engaged in our Sabres. The battle went very well: whoever wasn't being fired at with the gunboat's turrets would make attack runs. We were both armed with Infernos, so we made quick work of his shields and began eating away at his hull. He fled to Beta where, after muttering something about suicide on the systemwide frequency, flew into the planet there and disintegated. Zapp and I found no escape pods and can only assume he was killed or quickly gathered by the GMG, so we returned to Alpha and docked.
