I joined the crew of the Guillotine on her test flight after a refit. While we were nearing Planet Metz, we stumbled upon an Intelligence battlecruiser, harassing a passing transport:

As soon as her captain saw us approaching, he decided to incorporate us into his threats and went on to attack Guillotine:

[07.11.2021 17:18:43] SRG|RNS-Cobra: Maquisard, your time has come

Our people on bridge didn't take his show of exagerated ego very seriously (who would?):

[07.11.2021 17:18:50] [FLG]VG-Guillotine: RO: Oh, I don't think so.
[07.11.2021 17:19:12] SRG|RNS-Cobra: For the Union! For the People! For the Military might of Gallia!
[07.11.2021 17:19:21] [FLG]VG-Guillotine: RO: Blah, blah, blah.

After a short fight, the Union warship had been incapacitated, although they managed to call for help. Unfortunely for them, the bomber arrived too late to have any meaningful impact on their fate.

[07.11.2021 17:22:47] MNG|Cougar: Salut Cobra, I see you found a juicy target.
[07.11.2021 17:23:07] MNG|Cougar: And that you need help. Powering weapons up.
[07.11.2021 17:23:09] You receive a bonus of 10000000 credits and contributed 1 points.
[07.11.2021 17:23:09] Death: SRG|RNS-Cobra was put out of action by [FLG]VG-Guillotine (Gun).

Seeing as he didn't do any good to his friends, he tried to at least take vengeance,

[07.11.2021 17:23:31] MNG|Cougar: Let me toy with you a bit will you?
[07.11.2021 17:23:42] [FLG]VG-Guillotine: RO: If you have a deathwish...

But wasn't very effective at it.

[07.11.2021 17:28:02] MNG|Cougar: Well I believe it's a stalemate for now.
[07.11.2021 17:28:13] [FLG]VG-Guillotine: RO: You could say so.

So what did he do? He also called for help, which arrived in form of a Valor-class battleship. Sadly, this was too much firepower for the already damaged Guillotine and we were quickly rendered not combat-capable, although not without taking a significant part of the battleship with us.

[07.11.2021 17:28:55] MNG|Cougar: But since the reinforcements have arrived...
[07.11.2021 17:29:14] SDF-Nanosinx: Dear Guillotine, we get on now
[07.11.2021 17:29:28] [FLG]VG-Guillotine: RO: Very well.
[07.11.2021 17:30:19] SDF-Nanosinx: For gallia!
[07.11.2021 17:31:13] Death: [FLG]VG-Guillotine was put out of action by SDF-Nanosinx (Gun).

After the Union forces left assuming we're floating dead in space, we reactivated the hastily repaired drives and headed to Verdun for repairs, which should be able to bring the Guillotine back to combat readiness in almost no time. They really should pay more attention to what they leave behind them, but well - what could you expect from the Union?
