Sous-Lieutenant Baton and Capitaine Mignard joined me for a patrol in the Taus earlier. While the initial stage of the patrol was quiet, save for Pascal's attempts to taste the nebula, we ran across a Bounty Hunter fighter in the proximity of Java Station in fairly short order. The Hunter was less then co-operative, and Pascal's attempts to down her similarly ineffective. Regrettably, my Caracal met a similar fate. An Outcast and Colonial arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, and Capitaine Mignard was forced to withdraw. At any rate, I believe this serves as an apt opportunity to retrieve my Lynx from EFL, as the Caracal is hardly suited to prolonged combat.
A later patrol alongside Marechal Xavier resulted in the destruction of an, admittedly suicidal, Deep Space Engineering transport departing Leeds. The Captain saw us and, rather then stand down, chose to add another piece of wreckage to Leeds' orbit. If you care to look, you should still be able to make it out from Oubli.
