Name :Ensign Romeo Darkbeat

Operative ID :46th|Romeo.Darkbeat

Other operatives present : 46th|Weis_Maijers[R], 46th|John.Joe, 46th|Van-Leer, Josh.Porter, 5th|David.Nelson

Systems visited :Texas, Hudson, New York

Encounter Description :I had the most intense night since I joined the 46th, and if not for my words being backed up for actual footage thanks to the new camera device added to my turret, I'm not sure people would believe my report.

First encounter: At 21:56 Sirius Time I was joined in my patrol by 46th|Weis_Maijers[R], as we did NY's main territories, proceeded to California until the edge of the system and back to NY with the direction of Pennsylvania. Upon approaching the LNS-Delaware we picked up known criminal Birdie, who was harassing civilians in his gunboat. Despite underequipped we proceeded to engage and upon realizing this would be a suicide mission, I advised Weis to help taking the civilians to safety while my dodging skills trained by Admiral Van-Leer and my IRONHAMMERS and pulse guns gave the ruffian something to think about. When I finally saw every innocent and Weis were at a safe distance I jumped back to NY calling for backup, but wasn't replied by Navy corps.

Second Encounter: Immediately after that I was to dock on Norfolk for resupply but found a Junker called scrapie, strangely activacting the Trade Lane to Chadwick station. I hailed and ordered an engine cut for a scan but wasn't answered. When I finally managed to scan him, it was with no surprise that I found Black Market Arms in his cargo hold. After I told him to stop and drop the cargo he proceeded to try and lure me to the mines surrounding Chadwick. I needed to be extra careful since the previous battle rendered me dry on nanobots and the smuggler used this to his favour, managing to dock and get rid of the cargo than undocking and making a run for it. I proceeded to pursue until Cold Bay Depot where our jurisdiction ends. I docked to ressuply and immediately recieved an order to rendez-vous back in NY, where a pilot of the fith was being chased by a Greyhound and a Werewolf...

Third Encounter: Arriving at the trade lane between the Texas Jumpgate and Norfolk I found a skirmish between 4 criminal elements (RogueNation, Protorps, BoomBox, roque2) and 46th|John.Joe, 5th|David.Nelson and 46th|Weis_Maijers[R]. I joined the fray and despite we being underequipped (and undermanned after Weis's ship was disabled) we managed to disable RogueNation, BoomBox and roque2 (this one taking the final shot from me actually). Unfortunately, both Weis and 5th|David.Nelson were put out of action in the process, and now we had Josh.Porter, 46th|John.Joe and I against the enemy bomber, who was skilled and eventually took me out on a single hit with his dual Nova torpedoes.

I can't remember it clearly, but one moment I was firing all my IRONHAMMERS agains him and in the other... I was at gasping for air in my escape pod. Upon recovering composure I could see from the pod's secure window an image that brought me great relief. Admiral Van-Leer was there, in his personal fighter. What he did next was the stuff of Legend.

Know Protorps would torpedo him into Oblivion, he evaded and fired and caused confusion on the ruffian, coming dangerously close to the enemy, dancing around the strays of the criminal's gun and --- almost mockingly -- avoiding damage. When he finally was hit, his plan was revealed: the blast was close enough for Protorps shield to be disabled. And with this the battle came to a successful end.

Outcome : Despite the costs in taxpayer money no Lawful pilot was killed in this action, only 3 of us disabled. I checked in on medical and both me, Weis and JJ are fine, our ships repaired and ready to roll. I sent some flowers to Van-Leer's room hoping to inspire a quick recovery but, not surprinsingly, the nurse told me he was already out running laps in the exercise bay.

I'm grateful for my survival on this hectic night and I humbly suggest:

--That fighter pilots (Ensigns and recruits specially) are trained on tactics against gunboats.
--That scrapie's name and info be added to the target database and relayed to LPI for smuggling Black Market Armaments into NY.
--That I'm assigned to train on fighter tacticts under the review and mentoring of Admiral Van-Leer.

I would also suggest Van-Leer is awarded a medal for laying his life on the line and destroying his ship for the safety of Liberty, but I'm sure It would be over my rank to do that.

This is Ensign Romeo Darkbeat, out.
