I will admit, I was flying through the Kansas system for no other reason than to contemplate solitude and visit ghosts of the past. There was no good reason for me being there at all. I was not keeping track of my flight path, nor the time. As I flew through the wrecks and debris, I don't know when exactly, five contacts popped up on my scanners.
BCo)-Telharmonium - Gateway
B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee - Bristol
B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping - Bristol
B|-BCV-Manong - Bristol
Derelict-Reckoning - Militant Hulk
The Bristol and Gateway ships were hauling, by line, an old Hell class Militant cruiser: The Derelict-Reckoning. Not knowing what to make of this, or the corperate ships' intentions, I contacted Initiate Ben Morgan for back-up and began to follow the convoy. The convoy towing the Reckoning at that point jumped from Kansas into the Pennsylvanian System.
Once we arrived in the Pennsylvania System, I was able to interrogate the corporate ships as to what they were doing with the old Reckoning. While they didn't provide me with a straight answer, they did say it was a gift for some friends and their course indicated it was headed to Pinnacle Station. I followed, monitoring the convoy. At about that time, Initiate Morgan arrived, as well as some scattering of Liberty Rogue ships.
Initiate Morgan and myself kept watch as the Rogues escalated the situation. It seemed to the best of my understanding that the Rogues had claimed the derelict Hel for themselves, or at least wished to. Not having any love of the rabble myself, and much rather having the old hull end up on Pinnacle where it may be of some use to our cause than as some trophy for a Rogue kingpin, I requested clarification of Bristol's intentions. As soon as Bristol returned the affirmative that their 'friend' they were donating the ship to was aligned with the Militant cause, Initiate Morgan and myself engaged to defend Reckoning and the corporate convoy.
Between us and Bristol, the rogues were delt with swiftly. The Hel's old hulk was brought to the mooring platform at Pinnacle. At this point, the Bristol ships dispersed. As far as I can tell, the Reckoning is still moored with Pinnacle as of now.

[14.03.2026 16:01:38] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:We lost cargo, but the crew is okay.
[14.03.2026 16:01:45] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:Are you good to jump?
[14.03.2026 16:01:53] BCo)-Telharmonium: H: Thought we'd lost you. Copy, yes we are.
[14.03.2026 16:02:03] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Something going on over there?
[14.03.2026 16:02:43] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:So we might have sparked the interest of some company.
[14.03.2026 16:02:47] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Sounds like you lot encountered some trouble.
[14.03.2026 16:03:08] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Prometheus vessel, this is Haudenosaunee. Affirm. Request you maintain safe distance from my unit. HVU in tow.
[14.03.2026 16:03:12] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: How copy
[14.03.2026 16:03:34] BCo)-Telharmonium: H: Prometheus? That's a new one.
[14.03.2026 16:04:00] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Hah! Well at least there's a P in the name there.
[14.03.2026 16:04:11] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Currently intend for the Driftwood
[14.03.2026 16:04:18] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: What are you doing with the Reckoning? That was quite an old vessel. A hulk, if I remember correctly.
[14.03.2026 16:04:42] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: A gift for friends
[14.03.2026 16:04:55] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Vagrants on Scanner
[14.03.2026 16:05:03] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Copy
[14.03.2026 16:05:08] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Interesting. Well seeing as it was previously a militant vassel, I wonder what friends it's being gifted to.
[14.03.2026 16:07:22] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: So, is that the secret bit?
[14.03.2026 16:07:34] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Only one type of friend in the Driftwood
[14.03.2026 16:08:11] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: From experence, I'd say the Bristol mostly looks out for Bristol. So, hard to say what friends exactly there are to give to
[14.03.2026 16:08:46] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I am interested in what you plan to do with that thing though, seeing as it is cloasly aligned with our own goals of
[14.03.2026 16:08:52] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: defending Pennsylvania.
[14.03.2026 16:08:56] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Least it was, before it got holled.
[14.03.2026 16:08:59] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: holed*
[14.03.2026 16:09:09] Derelict-Reckoning: [The emergency transponder pings off a few Militant vessels in the region. The dated ship appears to be known by other...

[14.03.2026 16:09:57] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Keeping scanners open.
[14.03.2026 16:09:59] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Old transponder, don't know whose hands it's gotten into
[14.03.2026 16:10:34] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Pennsylvania for Pennsylvania, Prometheus. How I see it, and Bristol sometimes agrees
[14.03.2026 16:11:08] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I'm not exactly against that either.
[14.03.2026 16:11:16] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: We share similar thoughts.
[14.03.2026 16:12:12] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Boarding 3, say again your last? You think *what*?
[14.03.2026 16:12:18] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: You lot planning on joining the cause of Liberating Liberty from it's overclass then?
[14.03.2026 16:12:32] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I suppose isolition could also be a tempting solution, but we tried that and look where that got us.
[14.03.2026 16:12:34] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: CHENG, pick up your phone
[14.03.2026 16:12:54] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: You only must look at Vespucci to see where that goes when Liberty is your friend.
[14.03.2026 16:12:56] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: 'friend'.
[14.03.2026 16:12:57] Derelict-Reckoning: [The boarding party sheepishly recommended going to cruise...seems someone has a hot date.]
[14.03.2026 16:13:15] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: Fuck me... it's the Reckoning.

[14.03.2026 16:14:50] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Pockets gonna be empty then.
[14.03.2026 16:15:04] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I'd say a cruiser is decent payment in most books.
[14.03.2026 16:15:08] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: You taking her Pinnacle way?
[14.03.2026 16:15:15] Derelict-Reckoning: [A tow line snaps, followed by another.]

[14.03.2026 16:17:15] Derelict-Reckoning: [The ship falls into formation with the Haudenosaunee once again, the cables securing the ship.]
[14.03.2026 16:17:41] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Second hand lines, I swear
[14.03.2026 16:17:45] Derelict-Reckoning: [The Reckoning is tough, barely any damage is evident from the impacts.]
[14.03.2026 16:17:46] Death: Ozon was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
