Lieutenant Struikas, reporting.

Feels nice to have something above an E-1 paygrade for the first time in years. Me and a few others were sent to scramble after hearing word of an HVT in Texas, the LNS Nevada. We arrive on station and begin an albeit brief anti-cap dragnet sweep of the system, only for one of our ships to be greeted by a cargo tender.

.. A cargo tend-- Mother-- Ugh.. I guess any hole's a goal if it means punching up, right..? Anywho, we're also greeted by a Assault Battlecruiser and her escorts, which me and the others easily rid ourselves of the latter before focusing on the big kahuna. It felt nice to have some use for once. However - a LIBNAV SECFLT operator undocked from Houston, and proceeded to try and light me up. We chased him off for the moment, and decided to call it off. I fell back to Beaumont for repairs, and upon undock, found him meandering into the field towards my location. I told him that I was more than willing to settle the score, and engaged him. It.. I'll be honest, it wasn't my finest moment, as I lost to what looked like some nugget they strapped into a Defender. Though given I was loaded to bear with anti-cap munitions, and I ripped him to near shreds before it all came to blows - it wasn't all that bad. I was messed up and decided to bug out back to Beaumont for emergency repairs, but suffered some initial astronics and fire control issues as I was heading back to base through California.. only to be met by the 46th's finest.

I'll.. admit. I was proud of this. I wasn't as good against them as I was against the nugget - but I think you all know these guys are on par with the SOARD. I lost, but it wasn't without again, putting him in a bad place - I could have sworn I saw a wing come right off him as he was in flames.

I had to eject and used the booster on the pod to get me as far as I could into the nearby debris field, calling on a friend to pick me up since the rest of my flight got fucked seven ways to Sunday.

All in all.. a mixed bag, today.
