AFTER-COMBAT ACTION REPORT

Date: JUN.21.35, 1400 GAST
Rank & Name: Initiate Crow, Katelyn
Reporting From: New York
AAR # 001

On or around 1200 GAST, I launched on a solo scouting raid of the California, New York, and Colorado systems in a single Prosecutor VHF. The intent of this scouting action was partly as shakedown, as I've not been able to fly the ship outside Inverness yet, and to test new fitted equipment in combat.

What was an uneventful trip turned into something else upon jumping from New York to the Colorado system via the jump gate. A GMG convoy consisting of a barge and two escorting VHFs was located around the gate, with one LSF fighter (S41|''Whisper'') and one LN gunboat (LNS-Apollo) following. I moved to give chase to the LSF agent while avoiding the convoy; we have no beef with the GMG after all. However, the LSF agent was able to escape via the fort bush trade-lane. After a brief retreat, I caught up with the LN Gunboat 10k from Planet Manhattan, where we briefly exchanged CD and weapons fire before quickly deescalating the situation-- there was no way I was going to win solo against a gunboat. Words were to be the weapon of choice in this case.

After some discussion about the merits of Navy service and the true nature of TFP's cause, a Liberty Rogue running the name of Birdie's.Henchman-2 showed up. It effectively became a Mexican stand-off, with the Rogue seemingly willing to assist me against the Navy Gunboat, but myself loathe to ally with some common pirate to turn on a captain I'd been turning to our cause. While mulling the situation over, the calculus changed with the sudden arrival of a Bounty Hunter fighter (Aegis|Muse) and a Technocracy fighter (~{}~Aphrodite'). The Rogue and Bounty Hunter swiftly began a duel, thus Aphrodite and myself decided to use this opportunity to bring the gunboat to heel.

After excellent performance by my ship's new kit and the skill of Aphrodite, LNS-Apollo was brought to near structural failure conditions, when her captain surrendered. At the exact same time, unrelated to our own fight, Birdie's.Henchman-2 won their fight over Muse and yet another Navy fighter, Vincent.Jackson, showed up. The captain of the LNS-Gunboat demanded some terms that would have taken time to fulfill, time which we did not have as more navy ships were likely on the way. Thus, I demanded the captain instead meet us in Ontario personally for his surrender. See the attached logs for his positive response. I would expect a communications ping from him shortly.

While this was ongoing, I also carried on a discussion with Vincent. He was passive, not engaging as the fight with the gunboat was already done, and seemed to be the questioning sort. I told him all he needed to know about our movement, the corruption of the LSF and LPI, and how the government treated those in Vespucci. He responded well, and may very well become another new recruit for our task force. See logs for details.

As Aphrodite and myself withdrew, Vincent was engaged by the rogue. I do not know his fate.
