===Patrol Report===
Date: 822-03-12
Officer: Darius Nikula

My patrol began from Planet Manhattan, passing through Fort Bush, Norfolk Shipyards, and West Point with only minor abnormalities. A few Liberty Rouge bandits, nothing more. However as I was traversing the tradelane bound to the Manhattan sector again, I caught sight of a conflict. Immediately dropping out of the tradelane I saw a Freelancer firing upon what appeared to be an LSF ship.

This freelancer quickly destroyed the LSF fighter, designation LSF-Rosenberg. He then rapidly accelerated away from my vessel on afterburners, prompting me to fire a Cruise Disruptor to negate the possibility of his escape.

This Freelancer, designation Darten.Faragon, then proceeded to make threats against my person and ignored my warnings to stop his ship.

Darten.Faragon then noticed that I was carring several Liberty Rogue pilots, and he immediately demanded that I hand them over. He claimed that he would 'take them home'. I of course refused, which enraged this 'Darten.Faragon' who proceeded to fire upon my ship.

In hindsight, I probably should have evaded combat, as this freelancer posessed both better equipment and skills than myself. My hull was shattered by a Nuclear Mine causing my automatic ejection.

From what little I could see from my lifepod, Darten.Faragon left the scene accompanied by another ship which had waited some distance off during our 'interaction'. I suspect that this Zik.Asakura character is an accomplice of Darten's. I would like to recommend that a Wanted Bulletin be put out at once for both of these parties. Perhaps the LSF can contribute some information as to these characters and what exactly occurred between LSF-Rosenberg and Darten.Faragon before I arrived on the scene.

I am currently in the West Point medical ward where the docs are mending a fracture I sustained during the battle. Fortunately I expect to resume my duties within the next few days.
