Combat After Action Report

Date: <03.15.836, 09:11:58 - 09:39:53>
Rank & Name: Commander Scerri, Ġużeppina
Reporting From: Pinnacle Outpost
AAR # 1994-2

---

Launched from Pinnacle for a routine patrol up the New York highway into Colorado, and consequently, backwards; flight up north went mostly uneventful, however, a response force has intercepted my ship at Colorado Gate - Fort Bush lane. Linked up with major Walters shortly after crossing with a First fleet pilot, later joined with by a fighter from the Fifth fleet. After verbal discussion quickly deteriorated into hitting a brick wall of deliberate delusions, encounter quickly escalated into combat. The heated skirmish resulted in destruction of both Navy fighters, with major's ship suffering moderate damage.

• TFP)-Ashwagandha - RTB

[15.03.2026 09:12:40] TFP)-Ashwagandha: This shit seems glitchy for some godforsaken reason so it probably needs a checkup.

[15.03.2026 09:13:23] TFP)-Ripe: It's been worse at times.
[15.03.2026 09:13:42] TFP)-Ripe: If that endangers your safety on a bigger scale, I'd ask you to stay out.

[15.03.2026 09:17:18] [LN]-Reese.Thilo: You people flee your home, come to mine, and bomb it.
[15.03.2026 09:17:25] [LN]-Reese.Thilo: You don't get to talk.
[15.03.2026 09:17:36] TFP)-Ripe: No we don't do that.

[15.03.2026 09:18:49] TFP)-Ashwagandha: But your top brass is just too shit-for-brains and wouldn't admit it.  Antagonising us instead.
[15.03.2026 09:19:17] TFP)-Ripe: In any of the cases, I see a duel here.
[15.03.2026 09:19:25] 5th|Alex.Kingston: You're the ones that put your people in the line of fire.

[15.03.2026 09:19:50] TFP)-Ashwagandha: We're the citizens whose lawful means of bringing our point across have been stripped away.
[15.03.2026 09:19:57] TFP)-Ashwagandha: By the selfsame government you serve.
[15.03.2026 09:19:59] TFP)-Ripe: if weapon was right, we should shoot him first lol
[15.03.2026 09:20:04] TFP)-Ashwagandha: We're in our right.

[15.03.2026 09:20:44] TFP)-Ashwagandha: When we're forced to speak in the language of weapons, all bets are off too.
[15.03.2026 09:20:45] TFP)-Ripe: First ones to break the law is your corrupt systems that fail.

[15.03.2026 09:21:05] TFP)-Ashwagandha: Let's fuck them up, Ripe.
[15.03.2026 09:21:05] TFP)-Ripe: Powering up.
[15.03.2026 09:21:08] TFP)-Ashwagandha: That's enough chatter.
[15.03.2026 09:21:16] TFP)-Ripe: Kill the fanatic first.
[15.03.2026 09:23:36] TFP)-Ashwagandha: Don't know what he wanted to fucking equal.

[15.03.2026 09:31:20] TFP)-Ripe: I can try.
[15.03.2026 09:31:53] TFP)-Ashwagandha: All flight capability in their wing seems to have imploded with Reese.
[15.03.2026 09:33:22] 5th|Alex.Kingston: You fight well, Legionnaire.
[15.03.2026 09:33:30] TFP)-Ashwagandha: Kingston, power down your weapons and surrender.

[15.03.2026 09:35:26] TFP)-Ripe: Guess we don't drop more messages anymore.
[15.03.2026 09:35:43] TFP)-Ripe: Yet they'll still treat us at traitors, bomb droppers, murderers bla bla.
[15.03.2026 09:35:46] TFP)-Ashwagandha: Not to those who wouldn't welcome the courtesy, no.
[15.03.2026 09:36:04] TFP)-Ripe: You know what, I dont give a shit at this point.

[15.03.2026 09:38:15] TFP)-Ripe: Found some resistance out there.
[15.03.2026 09:38:39] TFP)-Ashwagandha: It's the closest, unless you wish to risk a leap to Pinnacle.
[15.03.2026 09:39:02] TFP)-Ripe: Fontana will treat us well.
[15.03.2026 09:39:37] TFP)-Ashwagandha: No one should be in pursuit within this timeframe.
