Good Evening!
Today was all kinds of hectic. It began with a sighting of.. nomads, near the Pennsylvania gate. I was shortly briefed on them, but I was not especially certain what to do with them. But seeing only one classed as a bomber, and the other seeming to be a harmless morph, I went in.
I was driven off by a Purifier class vessel shortly afterwards however. I called for reinforcements, and two vessels came to my aid. The SFC|LNS-Nidhogg, a Dreadnaught, and the LNS-Chimaera, a Siege Cruiser. When the captain of the Nidhogg arrived, he feigned inability to access the asteroid field, and cloaked while the Purifier chased me further away. The Chimaera arrived soon after, and engaged the Purifier. Taking advantage of the situation, the Nidhogg closed in, and uncloaked near the Nomad vessel, and together they succeeded in taking it down. I had managed to take care of my own target, the bomber, in that time. The images for that are corrupted, however, and I could not salvage them.
Next, there was an intrusion in the Alaska system, a Kishrio vessel hauling furs. As per regulation, and with no one to ask for any alternate solutions, I had to destroy the vessel. Thankfully, their pod was recovered, and is safe at Battleship Missouri.
There was another vessel running through Alaska shortly after that transport. To my utter confusion, it was a KNF gunboat, and it opened fire as soon as it saw me. Fortunately for me though, they were a terrible shot, and I was slowly tearing it apart when officer Pete Levine came along to help me finish the poor sod. I could not find the escape pod afterwards, so their fate is unknown.
With a bit of a change of pace, I and officer Jensen escorted one of our logistics vessels, the Odyssey to Bretonia. It was uneventful, and nice and quiet.
The action ramped right up again when I found a Legionnaire bomber slowly taking apart a fairly ill-equipped battlecruiser. I wasn't capable of destroying it in time, the Battlecruiser already fairly beat up, but I managed to destroy the bomber. It had become quite the clustermuck in a short time.
Lastly, the low of my day. An Outcast Dreadnaught that had been roaming Liberty had been destroyed by the good captains of the secondary fleet, and we even downed a destroyer, as seen here, I came to realize I'm no match for the Reavers, even in their bombers. They managed to destroy one of our gunboats, and I was just plain incapable of combating even their bombers.
I'm seeking fighter training as we speak.
It's been a busy second day, and while those Reavers took a toll on me throughout it, I'm looking forwards to the next!
