Greetings Comrades! I come to you victorious in our fight against the oppressors in the Houses of Sirius.
I launched in my Taiidan Natalia at the appropriated time, but no one else was around, so I thought I'd get some live-fire exercises in with the Queens soldiers. I fired up my Cruise engines, checked the SuperNova and headed for the O5 jumphole and from there to Cambridge.
I arrived in Cambridge and headed for the New London Jumpgate, trying to educate the traders in the area not to support the aristocracy. Sadly, I received nothing but the blather of the ignorant. They ran instead of listened...puppets of the governments.
The gate was guarded by Police (NPC), but quick work from them had me through into New London. Two more traders ran as I left the jumpgate, not even responding to my hails. Fools. I headed toward New London, spreading the Revolution's message the whole wayhad some fun with more authorities around the planet.
While I was skirmishing the Armed Forces, an independent Bounty Hunter named SilverWolf, flying what looked like a Manta, decided to take on Natalia and I without warning. Foolish mistake, and I made him pay. A well-placed SuperNova took down his hull, and my IRON HAMMERS finished the job.
After this, Natalia and I were ready to go home, and we made our way back through Cambridge. But apparently the BAF decided to stall me. A Destroyer patrol showed up as I was coming out of the Tradelane at Cardiff. The SuperNova, MiniRazor, and my IRON HAMMERS made short work of the this patrol, but they put a few holes in poor Natalia's hull.
They also must have called in re-enforcements. As soon as the last Templar of that patrol, another came out of the Tradelane from Cambridge. The ignorant pawns of Carina! Two gunboats and another Templar went down, but a lucky salvo from the Destroyer had me using the last of my reserves. With a last launch of my combo SuperNova and MiniRazor, I broke off and headed toward the O5 Jumphole. The Destroyer lived, but will be in Southhampton for weeks.
The flight back to Cape Verde was uneventful, and the techs on station are repairing Natalia now. They tell me she'll be ready to go in a few more hours. The Destroyer had blown off my CM dropper, but a spare was found at the station, and no other major damage was found.
Also, while flying back to Cape Verde, an relative of Lt. Whip contacted me on long-range comms, and mentioned that another of his brothers (?) had been in contact with The Brotherhood and Lucendez, willing to talk to Captain Ares about a truce? They must be hurting more than they let on!
Question sirs, what do I do with the captured Bret pilots? They are enjoying the brig on Cape Verde now, but i don't think they should stay long.
