The 522nd is playing at dangerous games.

I was on training patrol with S/D-Stargazer, helping him get used to the controls of the Manta. We were in orbit around New London. Multiple capital ships from the 522nd showed up. They were being chatty, while apparantly at the same time scouting out our defenses. There was one member of QCO on duty, and until HMS Brinkley showed up, we pretty much just got to sit there and take it.

The cap ships from the 522nd are armed with mortars on front. These weapons are devastating to shields. As part of the humiliation - and I admit intelligence gathering on my part - one of the cruisers wanted to fire 1 shot from a mortar as an experiment at me. At a range of 3,500 meters - one hit dropped my shield. They did not disclose where they got these weapons. (I found out later while having drinks with my cousin that these are available at Grand Canaria, in Omega 49.)

In single patrol, ran into a couple of smugglers that I tried to get ID on and report to NSY, and that's about it. It's been quiet lately.

I'll be attending the christening ceremony for my cousins new ship - he's a freelancer and finally got that Firefly he was looking at - today. I should be back on patrol tomorrow.
