Ain't gonna lie, today was a damn ****show. Started out all nice at first when one of our heavy cruisers, call-sign [R]-Whispers, was released from the Alcatraz maintenance bay ahead of schedule. The Captain, a nice pal I've already had the pleasure of workin with, contacted me through our usual comm channel and invited me into his raiding party. He wanted to move out into Alberta as soon as possible to use the time boost in his schedule to rake in some extra cash for some new gear.

While we were cruising through Ontario, we passed by a small fleet of Hellfire legion and Separatist capital ships that were having a stand off with the Navy. With the Navy blockade distracted, we easily managed to slip past into Alberta and setup at the usual shipping hotspot next to the Ontario jump hole exit. Sure enough we quickly found ourselves a fella named Richi.Poorlando. At first we thought it was a Zoner refugee or something, but turns out he's a suit working for Ageria Technologies. The guy was trying to ferry company hardware out of the system, probably a shabby attempt to bump himself up in line for a promotion. Unlike his name however, he sure as heck wasn't poor and we managed to shake a nice sum of ten million credits out of him. From here our earning streak was cut short however.

When we jumped back to Alberta to check we weren't followed, we noticed the Hellfire Legion and Separatist forces were engaged in battle with the Navy. The Navy fleet was comprised of the battleship LNS-Arvada and a handful of smaller vessels. The Legion/Separatist force was made up of exclusively capital ships including H|-SNS-Juneau, Amenhotep, HFB-Albuquerque and HFB-Incursus. Liking the odds, the captain of the [R]-Whispers and I decided to weigh in on the situation and engaged the navy forces too. We were joined in battle by a lone outcast pilot call-sign "run" and two of our own pilots, Genocide Jill and Josie Heimlocke. In the ensuing battle our combined forces easily dispatched the LNS-Arvada.

However what followed is nothing but mind boggling. Once the LNS-Arvada went down, the Separatists and Hellfire Legion started pulling out of the system! With them on the run the Navy turned all of their attention to us and we were soon engaged by three of their bombers and their damned gunboat. Using skirmish tactics, the LNS-Monitor was easily keeping out of the effective range of our heavier weapons and managed to shoot our fighters down like flies. We realized nearly instantly that at that point, without any involvement from the Legion/Separatist fleet, it was a loosing battle. Their bombers would keep harassing and hitting our cruiser from the back and there was little we could do to stop them with the LNS-Monitor around to provide covering fire as the bombers pulled back to recover their shields. We managed to damage and chase away one of their bombers, but at that point the [R]-Whispers already sustained heavy damage, it's systems were about to overload and the crew was scrambling for the pods. I managed to take one last picture of our cruiser going down in a blaze of glory before I picked up the life pods and bugged out of there myself. I guess the only thing the captain is gonna be purchasin any time soon is ship recovery and repair services.
