Privet High Command!
With the latest upgrade, I was able to return to Liberty and fly all around it's core systems without being noticed. When I ran out of supplies I've docked in Baffin, as the local zoners, more of mad people, welcomed me there. After spending the night there I was able to return to Liberty. I was heading through the "Badlands", as libertonians call it, when I picked up a faint radio chatter. From the lines what I've heard I was pretty sure, that a vessel was heading to Texas system to the local prison station. I have no idea what was that vessel up to in that part of New York at the first place, but I really didn't care. As far as I've had something to go after, I was satisfied.
Cloaking in Texas
Sneaking through the "Badlands" and heading to Texas was easy. I was closing in to sector grid F-4 where the ship, as in the faint chatter mentioned, was heading to. When I got close to the location, it was clear to me that the destination of the vessel was a prison station. I've engaged my cloaking device as Navy vessels were patroling the vicinity. Battleships with gunboat and fighter wing escorts were cruising just a few hundred meters away from me, so I was hoping that the new cloak will do it's job. Which apparently it did. I was sitting in the cockpit, wathcing around and keeping my eyes on the prison station. I must admit, I've never seen anything more bad looking than that crazy prison station. Who would let prisoners stay next to the main tradelanes, the heavy populated areas? Planning and acting for libertonians is not going very well. How delightful.
Observing unknown vessel
I was waiting next to the prison station, hopeing that my scanners will be able to detect the unknown signature that was picked up in the "Badlands". While scanning the station, the docking bay's doors were opening and a ship undocked from the station. From what I was able to see, it was a small transport like vessel, with a weaponry capable to deal great damage. I managed to get closer and take a closer look on the vessel. It was an armed transport, which was confirmed by the scanners as well, heavily armed and armored, capable to survive almost everything. Black and grey in color, with the ugly capitalist logo on it's side. It was a bad looking ship, not fast but not slow either. It was easily manoeuvrable and was a small target within the crosshair. Low profile, agile and ugly, the best combination ever.
The vessel started to move and left the station without any escort and headed to Bering system. I was able to follow it closely, as my cloak was doing a very good job keeping me hidden. I was flying next to him, and could take a closer look into it's cargo. The ship was empty, beside the two men crew who was operating the vessel. They were heading to the Freeport in Bering system, for meeting their 'comrades' and discussing some future deals. At least that was what I've heard over their inner comm system, I was attached to. The capitalists are talking a lot on their comms, yet I could easily yell from the back of the ship, up to the cockpit. Nevermind, for a recon unit the best possible target is the one who talks loudly, using systems that can be easily eavesdropped.
Preparing to dock
The armored transport, named Stiletto, reached the Freeport and was preparing to dock. A few seconds later after the armored transport docked, suddenly Xenos showed up and Bounty Hunters were hunting them, so in the complete mess, I've managed to get inside the station through the open hangar doors. My bomber was safe and sound, being cloaked, attached to the stations hull. Once the crew left the ship I managed to get on board their ship and within a few minutes I figured out how to override the safety protocols and was able to get the engines start. I've triggered the undocking sequence and was able to get rid of the station as soon as possible. When I was out, engaged the tractor beam and aimed it on my bombers location. The cloaking device automatically turned off and I was able to fly out of the sector in minutes towing my precious vessel..
Arrival
Flying through Rheinland seemed to be a good option, while my eyes were on the scanners for possible enemy contacts. I was avoiding tradelanes and crowded areas, flying through the empy sectors were easier for both the two ships attached together by the tractor beam, both for me. I took my chance to take some rest while the scanners of the Stiletto were constantly searching the area. With luck, or better to say, due to my recon skills, I was able to get to Omega 5 from where getting back to Omega 52 was an easy maneuver. Using the bomber's communication IDs, I warned our troops that I'm heading to our home system with a libertonian vessel and I wouldn't mind if they cease fire for the time being. I've received an escort from our patrol wings and docked the vessel at Zvezdny Gorodok, after Mykolaiv RS declared that the ship is not emitting any signal, nor it can be tracked or detected by Liberty forces.
'Grizzly' Liberty Shuttle
Opportunities like these do not appear often, so I took my chance to get our hands on a libertonian vessel. It might hold valuable information for our cause, yet that is up to our engineers to unlock and decrypt the codes. Maps, high valuable targets, patrol routes, secret files... that's only part of the details we can find if our technicians will be able to extract the data without any loss. So far we have identified the class of the ship, that kinda data is easily accessible even from a locked computer. It is a 'Grizzly' Liberty shuttle, used for transporting high valuable targets, like officers and up to government workers. The vessel has 8 weapon slots and a heavily reinforced hull. It is also equipped with a satellite dish, countermesures, mines and is capable to reach 350 m/s speed top. The ship's transponder and ID was changed, and now the ship is flying under freelancer flags. Oh, and the libertonian logo can be easily removed upon request. Yet I must note, that the ship could be easily used for infiltration or undercover ops in Liberty territory. Destroying the ship after the extraction of valuable information would be the best solution and it is highly recommended though.
