Subject: Liberty, Clueless pilots, Fighting

I had heard many many whispers of disrespectful and otherwise disruptive Maltese forces in Liberty, pilots whom come down to make quick dineros without even realising or caring who is giving them the comfort of someplace to sleep afterwards, somewhere to hide when the heat gets tough, someplace to go to eat and drink and basically live during their stay.

Two Falcata pilots causing trouble for the rogues, if only they knew just how close the Rogue pilots were to slitting their throats and giving them a second smile. I had no real intention of seeing my comrades be hurt but these people seemed almost unreachable. Still to avoid an incident I paid for their release from the rogues and spoke to them, they at least seemed grateful that I did what I did despite their insults towards me so maybe there is hope for them after all.

After that the main festivities started, lots of shooting and other colourful things. some hotshot hunter came along thinking he was a badass, I admit he was quite skilled for being a hunter, still he would often turn his back on me and would pay the price, to make the fight a bit quicker I got the rogues in on it and he ate a quad nuke sand which before long sadly the maker of the sandwhich was forced to eat it too in order to bring him down fast.

Moving on from there we caught up with the main body of the pirate forces, I have to say it was a little disappointing that the fight was over in about 20 minutes, oh and did i mention that about 7 liberty Dreadnoughts gunboats and Battle-cruisers chain undocked from Norfolk one after the other, quite the sight. I gave a Assualt some stick and then gave some pathetic freelancer bombers a hard time they both ran screaming back to Norfolk in the cover of the battleship, oh by that time everyone was dead.

Heading back to California seemed like the Hellfires and the navy were still fighting, hellfire bombers versus navy fighters, odd choice of dogfighting ship on he Hellfires part so I sat and watched the fireworks, when one of the navy whores were taken down much to my surprise the other navy looked done for, then again in came assault 1 to save the day, at which point two more Hellfires also returned.

after several long minutes a Xeno appeared, which was my queue to take him out. during the fighting, a hellfire gunboat appeared 2 more xenos a bounty hunter and a another navy gunboat. the Xeno was begging for help because the fighters kept breaking off assault one and chased me, like it would be better that way, Ha. The bomber was still dying but there was a really annoying civilian shuttle on my ass the whole time, not doing an awful lot apart from being annoying, so i led him away from the fight and after a minute or two I killed him and returned to the shooting, then the other Xeno light fighter was on me, eventually all the navy folks died the Hellfires were supplied by a repair ship and left, the hunter also left.

Which left me and two Xeno's fighting it out, they didnt have a chance.. i actually felt bad for them, and then some police ship came to destroy the xeno's. Eventually we took out the bomber and the light fighter began to run for its life... The police amigo had the aim of a dead walrus, so I didn't rely on him at all. Eventually I managed to kill the Xeno, at which point the police ship decided he didn't want anything to do with me and left.. which was fine.

I refueled my ship on Alcatraz and returned to malta at which point Salvador had the cheek to complain about me landing for a break, he better watchout when Horacio returns.
