Following advanced warning from the Dudley Array, Haudenosaunee got underway for grids G6. We encountered a large formation of LSF and LN vessels at Philadelphia Station, one of which asked me if the vessel was registered. Honestly, the nerve of them - if I start knowing Liberty law more than these suits, shoot me before I start infecting others.
Wanting to collect sensor and comms data, I followed the formation - which included one of the new Liberty battlecruisers, a Defiant gunboat, and several snubcraft - into the Driftwood. From there, we encountered a formation of Xenos Alliance and Task Force Prometheus vessels in the vicinity of Lansdale. As the two sides engaged one-another, I ordered my vessel to keep clear of the fighting and stay to the field. Despite reinforcing elements from Philadelphia Station, it seems that the Liberty pilots were engaged and destroyed in turn. Militant losses throughout the fight were minimal.
Haudenosaunee did deploy SAR drones to pick up any and all survivors for deposit at Erie. I’m sure our friends planetside will ensure that who gets to where they’re wanted.
Following the engagement, we kept to the array for some time longer, observing significant tensions between the Xenos Alliance and Prometheus pilots. One of the Xenos, it seems, started to engage the other following the elimination of the Liberty pilots, which was only halted by the intervention of Cobra. Whatever temporary cooperation they have going is shaky at best. We also observed a Platform vessel during the issue, though they did not engage the Liberty force.
All said, this seems to show a significant weakness in the Liberty forces assigned to Pennsylvania. If they keep shooting them down, eventually Liberty might throw whatever else they have into the system, and then things might get really annoying. Just as a heads up.
Speaking of, someone should send those Lovelace gals a kilo or three. Dudley is paying for our investment and then some. It keeps asking if I want some Cardamine whenever I uplink, though. Keep your uplink computers separate from the rest, I think.
