Good day, even if it ended shortly.

Got pulled in as secondary for a transport hauling to a new guard station in Alaska yesterday. On our way out of Zone-21, we came across a Clydesdale hauling off-market arms through space he wasn't allowed in. While we couldn't, and didn't try to, stop him, our guncam did get a good reading of his ship and cargo. Command can do with this what they like.

Further on, we came across a Xeno who got a little too ambitious, and when he killed the lane and began opening up, we returned in kind, leveling his pride lickity split. We then continued on to Manhattan, then back to Mitchell without any further delay.

On the way back through, we came across another Xeno taking on a Bounty Hunter outside Fort Bush. Continuing on to Manhattan, we came across another Bounty Hunter in a gunship chasing a Pirate in a Junker Bulldog. I told the transport to hold for a moment, while I moved to my fighter, taking off and chasing him down, where he didn't last long under my array of firepower.

I moved on to the Xeno at Fort Bush, who I'd heard had taken out the Bounty Hunter. He made off, likely to restock his arms, but came back to challenge me. Admittedly, I got complacent, and he got me good, but the Fort Bush teams, not to mention the battlecruiser floating around, got me in and back on solid ground.

I'll be waiting on Manhattan for the burns to be treated before I go back out.
Hell of an adrenaline rush.

Toodles,

Ignacio Rivera
Lieutenant Commander
Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet
