[ID: Warrant Officer Lazarus Mercer]

Patrol:

• Flight Officer "Lizard" - 49th Squad - Nyx
  
• Flight Officer "Eagle" - 49th Squad - Nyx
  
• Warrant Officer "Westridge" - Nyx
  
• Warrant Officer "Mercer" - Nyx
  

So, my first report and a successful one at that.

Well, I received a call from Liz and Westridge about a Lanciere problem in Tau-37. Upon reaching the Jump hole from Tau-23 I was told that Westridge's initial engagement had failed. However, following this we found that Outcasts had littered Tau-23 and were going nuts. We ID'd a Storta and stopped its cruise engines. He could exchange smug words and then opened fire, causing all of us to have to make evasive manoeuvres. Despite calling for support, only 2 soldiers with the "=VG=" callsign were able to assist. We did not have enough firepower to stop the Storta and he escaped.

Shortly after, a Gunboat was sighted and Flight Officer "Eagle" was able to undock and assist us. It wasn't long before the Gunboat was destroyed by me, though it was a hell of a group effort. Unfortunely, following this Lizard was taken out by a loadout fault on her ship but the her lightning reactions to the console meant she was able to eject quickly and was safely collected.

From here, Eagle took to sweeping the rest of the system to sniff out any more Hispanics and I hung around dangerously close to Cali to make sure no more of the cowards got away. A Sabre with callsign "Jensen_Royco" was brave enough to undock. He refused to respond to disrupting his cruise engines and instead fired on me. However, this was no challenge. I did not catch the kill on the guncam but the internal target logs on my ship did.

Code:

[16.06.2013 21:22:06] Death: Jensen_Royco was put out of action by CR|-WO.Mercer (Mine)

Hmm, seems my system clock was still in sync with Crayter time. Need to get that fixed.

I caught up with Eagle following this as no more Outcasts made themselves known. Cowards. A brief encounter with an AI Vessel came just before we ended the patrol and flew back to Falkland Base.

Mercer, out.
