First, we started in Malta to meet Eduardo Garcia, a new recruit. We had to get him new equipment, as he was missing Debilitators and an Enhanced Thruster. We got one of those in Valetta, and we went to the Freeport in Tau-37 to grab the missing Debilitators. Unfourtanetly, the Recluta couldn't accompany us in our patrol mission due to a problem with his ship.
Moving on to Tau 23, Camilla went to "test something" on Cali and Horacio, Sathanarios and I went to take a look at Indochine. There, we found a sole Gallic Train, probably moored to the station. We decided to ignore it.
Resuming the patrol, Camilla had returned and we headed towards the Tau-29 Jump Hole and met a Colonial Nyx, callsign "Keytar", who immediatly opened fire on us slightly after we found him. Needless to say, he died quick.
At that time, we determined not to engage it, but he wouldn't get off our backs. Everywhere we went, we'd always find it. We were also overseeing an Outcast Pilgrim who was passing by the system, and it's captain suggested to call for backup from Malta. I personally objected, arguing that the Battleship meant little trouble for us.
The capitano del Astor warned the Nightfall to leave the system over System-wide communications, which I found rather silly, but it did not agree, and got ambushed by the de-cloaking Ranseur.
The Astor survived the fight unscathed, and there were no casualities on our part.
The Astor returned to Cali Base and we resumed our patrol, when Camilla pointed out that she had found a base in the system. We went to check it out.
It was a Core 2 base, with the name of "Gallic Metal Service", it was GMS owned (obviously), had no weapons platforms and had a shield. Specific details, such as coordinates and it's position on the nav map are in the picture files.
On our return, we found a very suspicious Gallic Train, "BillyJo", carrying Ship Hull Panels, flying towards the base's direction. We intercepted it and had a little chat. Milking as much information as we could about the base, we confirmed that the man piloting the Train was the leader of the base's project and for how long the base had been deployed. I made the offer of letting him live if he surrendered his ship, cargo and crew over to us, but he had denied that offer, saying that blowing the ship up would be the same thing. It also tried to bribe us to leave it alone, but we disagreed. It blew up, offering abseloutely no resistance.
That was all. We then returned to Malta with no further incidents.
