Recommendations: Don't be a Dodo.
Description of report: I received an urgent call from Rear Admiral Van Leer. Birdie, an old nemesis of mine, was in the area. He fly's a gunboat. At first I thought it was a fool's errand, but hey... I've had so many ships destroyed that I'm either going to get my butt canned or dead at some point. What else is there to lose?
I came upon them near the California jump gate. Admiral Leer was already in combat. I joined the fray, not sure how long he had been in combat. Our rhythm was excellent. We remained spread and took turns. Our angle of attack was steep and left margins of delay in the gunboat's firing solution.
Then Hitman 76 was spotted. I've heard bar room talk of his prowess. Once he signed on to assist, it was something of beauty to behold. As it became clear that the Hitman was besting... heh, toying with him, Admiral made the call. He ordered his hired hand to step aside so that we could finish him off. Again, we came at him like a machine gun... tat, tat, tat. One after another, never at the same time. Eventually his hull began to crack. Oxygen and other gasses leaking from the vessel. Our mines and guns were finding purchase. I swung out wide and had a long range of attack. I laid into it. I am either going to die or destroy my enemy. I am glad it was the latter.
