This evening, whilst piloting the Gunship Berserker on my system patrol, a Freelancer criminal Charlie Jukins decided to try his luck in the capitol system of Coronado. He flew up and immediately pretended to be some kind of travelling trinket hawker whilst carrying a hold of black market light arms. We have standing orders to shoot this one on sight for aiding our enemies and I announced as much to the blithering fool who proceeded to whine and cry about the sad state he was in and how he totally wasn't a criminal. I announced engagement and opened fire. He ran immediately whilst flying a fighter and stayed just outside my thrusters range until his criminal partner "Apparition" appeared near the Cortez jump hole. By then I was joined by my compatriot, callsign "LazyBum" aboard his Nyx. Around the same time, an Auxesian entered the system as well as a Crayter citizen flying a fighter "Sad-1". Quite the crowd it would seem. We caught up to Jukins at the hole and engaged him, once again dancing for his life while the rest looked on.
Eventually sensing he had an opportunity, "Apparaition" entered the fray trying to assist his buddy. The Crayter citizen standing by offered his assistance to which we agreed and it became a foray. The two criminals made minimal impact and eventually ran to the Cortez jump hole and fled the system.
It should be noted, "Apparition" returned later to Sabah, announced himself and immmediately fled like a child playing tag begging us to give chase. To think the Crayter military has to deal with such weasels...

[31.10.2020 03:46:51] A/)-Arae.3: What is it with Freelancers and buzzing around here?

[31.10.2020 03:52:49] Charlie.Jukins: Well, I guess you wont let this go

[31.10.2020 03:54:37] Apparition: I think he doesn't think he did anything wrong because the Crayter Republic is nothing but a failed attempt at a house.
[31.10.2020 03:54:37] Charlie.Jukins: Well, I guess I'll give a good show.
[31.10.2020 03:54:48] Apparition: Just a thought.
