Encounter Description :
First let me describe the lovely encounter I had with Hilda's cooking skills. Right at morning I went to grab a cup of coffee from the kitchen when she was there ready to engage those pans and eggs and potatoes like a Gunboat Captain engages a swarm of bombers. She made a Legendary Breakfast for me and I must insist that FADM Creed arranges for her to visit us more often.
Fully nourished and combat-ready, I proceeded to do patrols in NY, California, Alaska and Nu today. Not much reportable stuff happened on most of them, just the regular criminals and terrorist and dishonorables who will 5v1 you for a dime. But while surveying Omicron Nu with the Argonaute, I spotted two ships.
One was Sonja, a freelancer we've known to be friendly for awhile. The other seemed to be a civilian flying an Avenger, and with a freelancer ID no less...
Outcome :
I asked the civilian to form on me as I would escort him out of restricted space and help him find a ship that would not get him in trouble with LN or LPI. In the 100k+ flight from the Nu Jump Gate to the NY one, we got to talk and he seemed interested to join the Navy, while not entirely sure he wanted to specifically fall within the higly specialized ranks of the 46th. I then proceeded to escort him to the Carcassone, where a recruitment office clerk was available to brief him, run a few background checks and provide him with a Liberty Navy ID.
Turns out, he was a fresh recruit from West Point but didn't have his ID and IFF set up.
Glad to have worked this out well, I then back went to New York.
