Name:Sorrontis Rank:Initiate Subject:Patrol in the New York System
Initiate Sorrontis reporting in.
The evening started as usual. I was preparing my vessel on the flight deck, when I heard that [HF]-Legionnaire had just concluded an encounter. After offering my assistance, Levenko ordered me to continue with my usual late evening patrol. The New York system is usually quiet at this time, so I followed my usual route which takes me into the badlands circling to Fort Bush, past Manhattan and back to California. On my way past Manhattan, I took some rather heavy fire and took minor damage. [HF]-Jim.McKinsey was waiting for me to return to California, so that we could finish the night off on a high note. Following my usual route, I was intercepted by [LN]-T.Allesfresser. I was ordered to stop, but I ignored the hail and continued in radio silence back to California. He took the bait. Jim and I were ready at the gate in ambush. The navy pilot hailed us again with this nonsense about not supposed to be in Liberty. Let's just say he lost his temper quickly while talking to my superior. The navy pilot started firing on Jim, so I offered my assistance. Jim ordered me to stand down, so that I may watch and learn from my better. I complied and killed my engines in a relatively safe area to observe. The battle did not last very long. I did attempt to record it using my on-board equipment. I've provided the video file.
I was asked to include this in the report:
"If that's what West Point is letting out,hell,the Navy's doomed."
-Jim McKinsey
I must inform engineering that my scanners were not picking up either Jim not the navy pilot. Must have been a minor glitch.
If I may speak out of line sirs, I believe that the pilot's method of addressing my superior shows that the Navy sees us as thugs. He had no clue what we are doing in Liberty, as if we were just petty criminals. They are underestimating us. This makes them weak.
