Topic: One Large Patrol Report

Evenin'! I'll try to summarize this somewhat, or I'll still be busy writin' about yesterday's patrol in a week.

Right after I started my patrol at 16:30 SMT, I ran into this Rogue flyin' a werewolf fighter - y'know, the really fat an' heavy ones. He refused to listen or pay the fine, even tried to threaten me! Well, Eddie's day did not end so well. I managed to save a few pods from his cargo too, who knows what he woulda done to 'em.

I guess Frost an' Reynolds were a little disappointed when they arrived on the scene and the show was already over. They decided we'd fly down to Texas instead, for some traffic scans at the border with our new recruit Jones. Nothin' special happened - What a surprise.

Back in New York, officer Reynolds actually found some Rheinlander with one of these lunchbox transports, uh... 'Behemoths', at Newark. I'm not kiddin'. I've never seen a captain that had such problems with followin' orders, or perhaps he was just deaf. I doubt it though, he refused to pay the fine and actually asked to be blown up, so we did him the favor...

A lil' bit later we ran into some toaster, an AI cruiser apparently... I don't even want to get into how much of our time that one wasted, but it sure seemed to try beatin' the Rheinlander's record. Talkin' about Rheinlanders, that's when we got reports 'bout an invasion in Texas, so we flew down there to support the Navy in takin' down some hostile snubcraft. What a sight it was, the battle!

An' all there was left after was a lonely Xeno. He was crazy enough to threaten us, so Reynolds let me take care of the loony. Went pretty good, all in all, I'd say. Took a strong hit on my Libbie once with that bugger's torpedo, even though Reynolds warned me 'bout it! Well, I learned my lesson and, believe me, I showed no mercy on 'em after that!

With his ship almost fallin' apart in the end, he tried to run, but I s'pose he figured out that wasn't gonna work. Tried to fire his torpedo on one of the spectators instead, but the collision gave him the rest.

Death: XA-Night,Adder was put out of action by Black.Current (Collision)

On our way back, we managed to intercept another Xeno, a buddy of the other one, perhaps. I woulda been glad to shoot the bastard too, but I decided to let officer Reynolds deal with this one. He sure did, and that terrorist tried to run away, too! Recruit Rivers joined us, and after quite a chase, we managed to shoot him down in some debris field in Texas.

Death: Lance.Javelin was put out of action by LPI-Martin,Reynolds[O] (Gun)

Later, I found a Rogue in a spatial, and he wasn't really more cooperative than any of 'em we'd met so far. Refused to pay a fine, refused to tell us who he was travellin' with, and would rather spend a while on Huntsville, apparently.

Death: Ratter was put out of action by LPI-Martin.Reynolds[O] (Mine)

We didn't get a break, no... On our way to California we found a pirate flyin' a Hessian gunboat between West Point and the gate! He had quite a big mouth, too. Didn't help him a lot as we blew him up in the end, but officer Frost got hit by a mine durin' the fight... again, I hear. At least he knows how to make it home in a pod, yeah?

A civilian named Quartacka was destroyed, too, after he kept ignorin' our orders to stand down... Serves him right, if ye ask me. At least he made it out alive, I think.

Death: LPI-Buck.Frost[O] has suffered a self administered loadout error (Mine)

Death: Quratacka was put out of action by Ritter_Wolf (Gun)

Time for a break at Sunbucks, perhaps? Hell no, we were called from Penny 'bout reports of multiple pirates!

Again.

An' guess what it was, more Xenos. We found two of 'em almost right in front of planet Erie, attackin' some civilians. Unfortunately, they managed to destroy at least one ship by the time we arrived. We'd seen enough, went right into battle and destroyed both of 'em. Well... one of 'em was actually such a loony he got himself toasted in the nearby star before we destroyed him. Can you believe it?

Death: a.bunny.rabbit was put out of action by LPI-Michael.Rivers[RO] (Gun)

Death: Sky.Flakes has suffered a self inflicted catastrophic decompression.

No, that was still not the last ones. The pirates obviously didn't give a damn that I was runnin' out of donuts. We found that muppet from Texas again! Seems like he got himself a new ship, and was eager to test it. Also seems like he hadn't learned his lesson yet, so we blew 'em up again. Well, he blew himself up, but we did help a lil' bit.

Death: XA-Night,Adder has suffered a self administered loadout error (Mine)

A bit later, we followed traces on the TLAGSNET 'bout an Outcast gunboat, and we did find it in California. Of course, the captain came up with the same ol' 'I don't have cash on me' story, so we left him with nothin' but his pod.

Death: [OWL]Echilon[C] did their best.

At last, it got a bit quiet! Guess Liberty finally ran out of pirates. Or one can hope so, yeah..? Had a nice talk with a girl at Norfolk, but... I s'pose that doesn't go in a report like this, huh...

The last events worth mentionin' here really are... two guys we'd seen already showed up again! That Rogue... Wilson, made a sharp turn and ran when he saw us on his radar, but Rivers caught him anyway. He still refused to pay his fines, so he went home without a ship, again.

Death: Eddie.Wilson was put out of action by LPI-Douglas.Harper[RO] (Gun)

Then there was another Hessian gunboat, flown by the same pirate... Don't ask me how he got a new one o' these from the Omegas in that time, but he had obviously not gotten more careful. We pinned him down for the Santisima Trinidad in Penny, where he met an explosive end for a second time.

Death: Ritter_Wolf was put out of action by LNS-Santisima.Trinidad (Gun)

That's all, time for a coffee break.

Douglas Harper out.
