A simple patrol this time. Seems the 49th were going to take a quick look at Orkney and invited me to hop it, I obliged to the order. It started dull as any patrol, although we did have an ion storm coming passing through the system at one point so we were forced to dock on Dounby for around 5 to 10 minutes for the wave to pass, after that we were back on track. The commanding officer Horizon had ordered us to split into small groups and tag any hostiles in system, I went with Lizard to the system-west, about 10 minutes in, one of the groups pinged an Outcast destroyer near Kirkwall. We RV'd at the position and after intercepting and taking down it's cruise drive, we destroyed it.
However, even though this does happen very rarely, it did happen, a ghost-destroyer came out of nowhere and engaged us, we dispatched it yet again, however due to a case of friendly fire via mines we lost a single Nyx, the pod of Swordfish was retrieved.
Afterwards we set course to RTB and came across an AI capital vessel, a cruiser. It was blabbering quite a bit so we left it alone and tried to chase down some Kusarian pilot that had entered the system, however we lost it's trail when it entered Lewis. Horizon ordered an RTB afterwards.
And that was the end of that.
Westridge out.
