:::XENO ALLIANCE AUTOMATED REPORTING SYSTEM:::

:::Comms ID: <Python>:::

:::Establishing data channel...

The following report may be a little fuzzy in places due to the server crashing before I could retrieve the data that my automatic recorders captured.
Today I (XA-Python, formerly Joshua Kent) met up with XA-Lancehead and XA-DeathAdder. Despite both of them being vastly superior in rank to me, they wanted me to get some valuable experience in command. ( I think they were just being lazy'€¦)Once the three of us got together, we went to NY Jumpgate in Colorado, to perform some customs checks, and to do the Big game paths Event.We first encountered a Shire with a Universal ID that said it was saving up for a Liberty ship, perhaps a Buffalo. A Zoner fighter/freigter flew by, but we let him go. Seeing as how he wasn'€™t bothering us. We noticed that he was carrying Rice, but he was gone before we could say something. We then let the Shire go, with a stern warning against foreign ships. Next came a Reds, a Kusarian Whale carrying Neon. He did have a recruit ID, and said he was gonna get a Liberty ID, don'€™t remember which one, and a Liberty ship. Curse these bad memory banks! Anyway, we let him go to, after a stern warning.
Soon after that [99%]Spazzydragon and [99%]Ulfsark.Huskari came along, and also took up a position at the CO jumpgate. Soon, we had a chat with them about why they blew up a Liberty ship, which lead into a discussion of Xenos Ethics'€¦ We did not agree with them, and I won'€™t get into it all here. While we were discussing, a mining ship Malac, came along, and declined to stop. It was chased by both Xeno groups present, and [99%]Ulfsark.Huskari got in the killing shot. Soon after this, we decided to get away from the 99% guys, and I made the tactical decision to go into New York. XA-DeathAdder then experienced an unexpected engine problem and had to back out of the mission. It was my mistake to push us on into NY, with only two fighters'€¦ I will never make that mistake again.
Outside Norfolk Shipyard, we encountered two empty DSE Transports one of them DSE)Kittyhawk. Also there was a Bounty Hunter Fighter. Lancehead engaged it, and didn'€™t need my help, so I sat by and watched. Lancehead had the fight in the bag but ran over one of his mines'€¦ Another BHG showed up, and both of them engaged me, and I died after a putting up a nice fight. Lancehead decided to end his fight then, but I flew around Colorado a bit longer, and encountered a Junker Bull Dog named Scraper2000. He bit the dust soon after our engagement started. The sever then crashed. I little later, I got on with my Waren, and stopped a crane outside the CO jumpgate. It was a freelancer, named risingsun:. It was carrying 2100 tourists from Curacao to somewhere in Kusari. It counts for the big game paths, because tourists take up 2 cargo space. It refused to drop it'€™s cargo, so it got vaporized, and the tourists destroyed. I hope I made the right choice doing that. They had a quick death. I then landed at Ouray, to type up this report before my memory got bad.
