Crayter Military Reporting Facility

[Implosion]

Williams reporting in.
I undertook and completed the Orkney mission.
Here's a detailed report of the recon patrol.
I launched from Hades and made my way through the asteroids in 23 towards the Orkney jump hole.
First thing I did when the jump sequence was completed was to check the nearby field.
And it indeed revealed a not very well hidden base.
Nothing special, outcasts.

Right after I cleared the field, a base popped up on the scanners.
Fort Albi. Whatever, not a huge problem, I managed to dodge it's alert fighters.
By the way, it was near a jumphole, I'm pretty sure it leads to Edinburgh, simply because I used it as my escape route later on.

After taking a rather scenic route, I flew around a planet and nearly crashed into a council warship.
Mighty big thing indeed. The De Grasse didn't seem to mind me, so I resumed with the task at hand.

The destination was clear, the next asteroid field was ahead.
It's the go-to location when you want to hide something from the scanners.
And sure enough, just on the edge, I found a base which was sporting some weird mining IFF.
There was a mining ship in the field too. Funny thing, it was not of their design.
It was clearly like the ones we use in Sirius.

Naturally, one just can't miss Cordes and the mine field, I mean, that's common knowledge.
I flew in the field, just in case. Nyx didn't blow up, which is nice.

On the way out I might've ran into a patrol.
It was my lucky day. Not so much luck in their disposal, though.
The last of them made a run for a base, which later turned out to be a Valor.
Not the most pleasant thing that happened that day.
Getting shot at by something that rivals a small moon in size.
I burned hard for the nearest asteroid field.

Of course, I did pass by the miner's base, that place is old news.
I avoided getting near though, didn't want to draw any heat in it's general direction.
Well, that's pretty much it, I double-backed through Edinburgh.
An ambush in 23 was something very highly possible, so I'd optioned for the longer but safer route.
Plus, I already had a hole the size of a sniffers' brain on my left wing. Not more than a three inches wide, but still.
I dropped all the captured pilots at Sabah and wished them a nice day, as always.


Williams, out!
