I have two nights of patrols to report on.

First night I patrolled with Agent Vader. We briefly ran into Agent Schoultz, but he was going off shift. Primarily we ran into cardi smugglers in Texas that wouldn't play. There was some power docking at Houston, and they just wouldn't come back out. We had been at Mojave for a bit earlier as well. New York was rather lawless.

Tonight the Memory was flying with the Swordfish. Our patrol started at Mojave in Cali. In discussion, since I'm not out in the boondocks now, we decided to get a different sensor suite for the Memory. So we headed down to GC and picked one up. In coming back we got sidetracked in Leeds and Cambridge chasing Outcasts and some guys with seriously screwed up IFF tags.

There were also some Kusari sounding names running around there as well, which we tried to check out with no success.

In chasing one Outcast through the Magellan JH, we ran into Abyssion. Swordfish chased him for a bit, but he was totally unresponsive to all hails. Back in Cali, we did interdiction patrols at Mojave for a while, making sure my new sensor suite was functioning well. Caught an insane Lane Hacker heading towards Texas on sensors, and we gave pursuit. He made it to to Beaumont ahead of us, so no joy there.

Then on Long Range Sensors, we picked up Phantoms in California. Swordfish and Athena's Memory both went back to Cali. At the jump gate into NY, there was a Phantom in a BW fighter. He was equipped with two code weapons and a mini-razor. That fighter was incredibly manueverable. While he was doing a number on my shields, the Memory was still fighting fine when suddenly two MORE Phantoms jumped in. Discretion being the better part of valor it was time to run - except we didn't have time. Swordfish lasted about 30 seconds longer than I did.

My co-pilot sustained minor injuries during the ejection - he'll be on light duty for a couple of days. Makes for an interesting patrol - over 2 hours of running around, not accomplishing anything - and then having 2 minutes of serious combat.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
