Very early this morning, New York was attacked and taken over by a large number of Pirates consisting of Hackers, Outcasts and Liberty Rogues.
It started out when my vessel departed from Manhattan and 10 minutes later reports came in of a large number of hostile and unlawful forces heading our way. I quickly reported this information to LNS-Providence, who stood with me all the way through this unearthly period.
Finally the pirates entered the system, and my reports told me that 8 of them were in New York. The Providence and I took shelter at Fort Bush, and using long system comms, we tried to contact all Liberty Forces, but with no ado. It seems all the LN, LSF and other law upholders of Liberty had docked on nearby planets or stations to indulge themselves in planetary affairs. The Providence and I were lost, knowing it was not in our power to prevent such a large incoming force.
A Liberty Rogue pilot seemed to be in charge of this attack, and seemed to go by the name of Mr.Anthony.Crowley. He threatened to open fire on Manhattan unless the LN revealed themselves and came to meet them. The Providence called his bluff and stated he would do no such thing, and indeed, even the Rogue knew the impact that would have been caused upon firing upon Manhattan. Instead he set out to try and find The Providence and I.
5 minutes later, Gafwynn showed up, and we quickly updated him on the comms via secure methods as to the situation. We still knew 3 was not enough, as there were now 10!!! pirates in New York. We knew if we were discovered, we would be destroyed instantly. LNS-Providence then placed a 5mill bounty on each of the pirates.
If it were not for Suzanna of Darkwing to show up and join our team, we may have been in serious trouble. She relayed the sitution to 2 more Darkwing members, and with these 3 DW pilots we thought we might count for some resistance against this Pirate Invasion.
However, the pirates moved from Manhattan and stated they were coming to Fort Bush, so we had to move quickly. LNS-Providence made the quick decision of moving to Pittsburg and this is what we did, to await the 2 more Darkwing gunboats to aid us.
DW Crunch showed up shortly after DW Suzanna had relayed the comms to him, and we were awaiting DW Rev to appear, he took his time as he was coming from Bering. To our glee, the LNS-New.Jersey also undocked from a nearby station, and he was quickly swiped up and added to our resistance.
The pirates numbers had now increased to 11 according to my reports, and they were opening fire upon Fort Bush. We knew we had to wait just a few more minutes until the last ship arrived to aid us.
Just as DW Rev arrived, Riku showed up on our Long Range Scanners, and we knew we had been found. We attempted to move to Planet Maine, but with the time delay of communications, all the pirates had turned up in no less than 30 seconds. We knew this was it, it was our time to fight for what is right.
They were flying a collective mix of bombers, gunships and fighters. Our collective force of a Battleship, A battlecruiser, a cruiser, and 4 gunboats counted as strong resistance against such a force.
However, Gafwynn our battlecruiser was taken down very quickly by lots of arrays of SuperNova's and torpedo's from their bombers..and we knew what we were up against. Not long after that, DW Suzanna fell to their bombers and gunships, and then also LNS-New.Jersey. It was at this point they turned their fire on me, and i knew i stood no chance. They popped 2SuperNova's into my shield, then opened fire with everything, and my ship was destroyed in seconds. The Providence tractored in my escape pod, and i listened to the remaining battle.
DW Crunch managed to take down a couple of their ships, great shooting by him. However all fire was turned to the LNS-Providence, and he knew he had a choice to make. He called a tactical retreat as it would take months to repair a battleship, and we know we couldn't do without the Providence in future skirmishes. I was dropped of at Manhattan. Many thanks to Darkwing for their assist and help. Even if it did prove to be futile in the end.
Bean finished off writing his report and signs it:
