Flying abord the Thanatos-class Cruiser Hermes, long range sensors picked up a known Maltese criminal, the gunboat Krakens Maw. We put out an alert amongst fleet forces and began a sweep of Coronado. We checked all the known locations the Maltese could be hiding but to know avail. Comms came alive with a Freelancer vessel Habeus Corpus threatening the Maletes we were hunting. I acknowleged the pilot and kept up the hunt. Alas, we came upon our foe near Planet Baja and I was soon joined by an ensign Nyx fighter callsign "Lazy Bum" and the Freelancer found us as well. The Freelancer immediately began asking whose side would pay for his services and I outbid the Maltese to keep him from attacking our pilots.
The fight was joined with the three of us attacking the gunboat who began weaving his dodging dance vivaciously trying to outpace our guns. The gunboat tried to focus on the snubs as the Hermes tried to stay in thruster range but it proved to be a long and slow struggle. The Maltese seeing his chances diminishing, suddenly offered the Freelancer aboard Habeus Corpus more to turn his guns upon Crayter forces. The Freelancer speedily accepted the offer and began launching torpedoes at the Hermes. My fighter escort and I turned our guns to take down this new threat and his over eager use of his torpedoes proved to be his downfall as I piloted the Hermes in close to him as he launched another salvo. My cruise took minor damage as his ship exploded spectacularly. His destruction was no doubt aided by Lazy Bum lowering his shields in time to splash damage all his hull.
At this point the Maltese attempted to break, and I engaged cruise engines to pursue and lost my VHF escort but picked up a Pytho bomber pilot "HotShot" in exchange as we pursued the enemy. We caught up with him, but after an extensively long struggle the foe was frantically dancing a path to dodge our salvo's, no doubt strung out on a certain orange hallucinagen that was probably amping his reflexes. Finally with no end in sight, Crayterian forces lost him at the far fringes of Coronado and returned to base.
