At approximately 2100 hours, Commander Freud and I departed Valravn for a patrol. We were quickly cut short by a Crayterian radar contact, =AoH=Razor, who approached Valravn claiming himself to be a former Legionnaire, one Major Jan Levenko. He dropped names I recognized and names I didn't, including Samuel Locklear and Markus Brass, an alleged former Fleet Marshal of the Legion. He also claims to have fought alongside Exarchs West and With. If the Exarchy could corroborate this story it would be very helpful, considering his current circumstances.
As he began to reveal more about his past, we were set up by three LSS strikecraft, Blackhawk, Alpha-4, and Sigma-7. Commander Freud and I gave the Legionnaire a chance to prove himself loyal to us and not Crayter, and he did not disappoint. A fierce battle ensued in which all three LSS strikecraft were shot down, at the cost of Freud's and Levenko's fighters. Both of them managed to eject, and I continued the fight until Auxesian assistance arrived from Valravn, A/)-Purple and A/)-Variant pulling my ass out of the fire, and also dispatching a Xeno who had joined the fray, XA-Massasauga, who frankly seemed more interested in taking down the LSS.
I returned to Valravn much worse for wear, but hopefully with an old friend in my cargo hold. I hope he's worth it. A full report of combatants and status follows:
