PRIORITY: Low

Ensign Tanathyn, reporting in.

First patrol assignment completed February 2nd, 825 A.S.

Time is 4:18 PM Sirius Mean Time, log begins.

First day since graduation and induction into the First Primary Fleet and a string of bad luck follows. My assigned craft had, apparently, not yet arrived due to a clerical error in the requisitions and acquisitions department. Although it was unfortunate I sallied out to respond to a general distress in a refurbished training craft to engage an Outcast-affiliated capital-class ship with a small wing of fighters and bomber with friendly Atlantis and Overlord-classes in support.

By the time I reached the engagement point it had already started venting atmos', with hull panels breaking apart at the damaged seams. I engaged anyway, didn't do much, but I contributed as much as I could have with strafing runs alongside it's sheared off armor. It's destruction was shortly confirmed after multiple bombardments by capital-class weaponry and the threat was neutralized. No idea how something that big made it past the sensor net but I digress. Mission accomplished.

Rickety old civilian scrap heap still in tow I began a patrol route around the New York system, holding between Newark as I spotted a contact coming through on the ship's, amazingly functional, sensors. Registered as a THP-affiliated vessel with a really smarmy name called "Legal" Commerce. He refused to stop when ordered to and, through some strange bit of flying, managed to dock with the mooring fixture and was out of my reach. Gonna have to keep an eye on him for next time.

Secondary contact came in about an hour later through a tip, a Freelancer flying the ship under the nomer Warlock One-oh-Niner, flew into New York from the Colorado jump-gate. I intercepted him successfully but unfortunately the rickety old scrap heap broke apart amidst the fire intensity and had to eject. The one thing that still worked in that old thing were the "luxury" escape pods. Guncam footage of the skirmish was lost, unfortunately, though everything else appears to have been recovered well enough.
