Patrol Report for
July 13, 821 A.S.
I was making my standard patrol rounds through Liberty when I stumbled upon a Rheinland intelligence gunboat, designated U-201, heading for the Bering jump hole in Texas. I began to pursue and successfully disrupted his cruise engines, and after giving him the chance for surrender, he declined and began to engage me. Before long, a second Rheinland vessel, this time an intelligence cruiser by the name of RNC-Lord.Osmiu, came across our engagement and began to assist. Thankfully, the LNS-Northampton, a Liberty battlecruiser, came to my aid, and we skirmished for a few more minutes. A third set of reinforcements arrived for both sides, the RNC-Herschel for the Rheinlanders, a Rheinland Military cruiser, and the LNS-Jack.Ketch, a Liberty battlecruiser. Eventually the LNS-Northampton was destroyed, but that was quickly followed up by the destruction of the RNC-Herschel. The LNS-Jack.Ketch was then taken out by the RNC-Lord.Osmiu, and I was forced to flee. However, an additional Liberty battlegroup came across me, consisting of the LNS-Silver, a Liberty dreadnaught, and Jukka Sarasti, a Navy Upholder. I began to assist them, eventually chasing the two Rheinlanders to Bering, where the RNC-Lord.Osmiu was eventually taken down. Finally, we chased the BDM vessel into Hamburg, but as it was contacting local defenders and the LNS-Silver was badly damaged, we decided to return to Liberty.
Upon my return to Liberty, I came across a vessel known as [AI]Canaan|Seth. It was apparently manned by a cyborg, a very curious one at that. It wanted to know basic things, such as why we fight the Rheinlanders, what we think of x, y, and z organization, the history of Liberty, et cetera. It was very polite and considerate, not asking anything that was out of bounds for it, so I divulged what would otherwise be public information, i.e. the kind of stuff you see on the news. While talking with the cyborg, a Sabre by the name of Sortir came along, and I noticed their identification papers were a bit out of place. I eventually ordered Sortir to cut engines as their papers were no doubt illegal and very suspect at least, but they declined and instead offered to blow my ship up instead. We jousted for a while but eventually I was bested and I floated back to Manhattan in an escape pod.
This concludes my patrol report. Additional reports will be filed as patrols are complete and hostiles are eliminated.
