Ouray Inn (iRP)

[Spear]

Jacobs was back in the bar again with his usual double whisky in his hand. He nodded at his friend
Evans as he came on duty behind the bar, Evans noted Ben was swaying slightly in his seat and deduced correctly that the old Xeno had been hitting the bottle hard.

"Refill Ben?" the burly bartender enquired.
Jacobs smiled and nodded, then pushed his glass in front of the barkeep.
"Been out today have we?" said Evans.
"Yeah I was out, had a few firefights too, lucky to get through today in one piece"
"Tell me about it then!" Evans enquired as he handed a now resupplied glass back to Jacobs.

"Well it commenced in NY as I came across a Hacker named Null.Sector, I met him yesterday and our battle was interupted by the law so today was round 2" Ben took a sip of his beverage. "His Raven Talon was tricky to pin down and the fight was quite lengthy, eventually though I managed to destroy his weapons and his ship systems failed so I destroyed his ship but was unable to recover his pod"

"Nice work Ben" Evans nodded "What happened next?"

"Well I was attacking the local Navy ships in NY when a LN popped on my scanners, long range sensors indicated numerous LN pilots were launching and I knew a battle was about to commence!" Jacobs drained his glass all the way and slid it back to the barman.

"Sure enough it wasnt long before I had 3 LN fighters, 1 independant navy and 1 LSF all over my ass! I received a comm message from an Outcast named Windrunner offering to assist and I gladly accepted. Windrunner proved himself to be valuable as he destroyed Jack Kirsche and LN Mahler, while I destroyed LSF Linkero and LN Walsh, LN Caspers ship appeared to hit a temporal anomaly and winked off my sensors!" (PC crash) Beb took his again refilled glass and continued.

"I considered engaging the Outcast now but thought I would let him off as he had proven useful, as much as a junkie can be anyway! Prospector had joined me now and we were assaulted by a Gunboat named Bean, after a protracted engagement our quarry fled."

"After I refueled on Ouray i received a comm message from Prospector that he was being chased by another GB, I hastened to his location and we both started to engage the Gunboat. It started to take Damage as LN McTavish arrived and we turned on him! Prospectors ship was destroyed with a weapon malfunction with his own nuke mine, which left me facing the LN and a GB alone. The GB continued to volley missiles at me relentleslly so I manouvered to Newark to use the facility as cover. Unable to get and angle to attack the remaining fighter thanks to the missile boat I engaged my cruise engine and headed home, Luckily I had only used 1 Nanobot during this encounter"

Evans grinned "Same ole Spear!"

"Heh, anyway it was fortunate I had left when I did as Prospector had returned to Ouray and launched from his Gunboat, he was under attack from an Outcast Destroyer and a Sabre in full view of Ouray! I engaged the Dessie quickly and the commander must have been Cardamine addled as he decided to try and take my ship out, giving the Prospectors crew time to inflict severe damage on the Destroyer. Eventually the Destroyer was brough down with the final hit comming from my guns!. We both rounded on the Sabre who attempted to flee but he was unsuccesful and Prospector finished off the filthy varmit."

"A great day! Here have another one Ben" Evans knew the old Xeno would now drink himself into a stupor and fall asleep. "Got any data recordings Ben?"

Jacobs tossed a chip onto the bar and smiled as Evans placed it on the viewer..
