.....please proceed with the report Leuitenant John.Redmond.

Right, lets start this off.

Tonight, nearing the end of my shift after a training session, I was informed by my CO if a Coalition ship in Cambridge shooting BAF recruits without mercy.

I, my CO M.Mckenna, Aubrey Mainwaring and the revered privateer Liam Mackinnon proceeded to Cambridge.

As soon as we jumped into the system, a single Eagle class fighter was detected. in the spirit of fair play only two of us engaged. The fight was very one sided nevertheless, the cowardly eagle repeatedly running several K away from myself and Aubrey who were watching the action. after what seemed like forever, an hour atleast, we were 4 or 5 trade lanes towards Cambridge, such was the extent of the cowardly retreating everytime the shield was remotely damaged.

Liam decieded he was growing bored of the desperate Eagle, Ariel or something, and ordered we engage.

Shortly after the coalition ship had recieved reinforcements, we decided that the eagle was too cowardly to continue attacking it, and moved on to the new target. not long after we had engaged him, did the coalition recieve yet more reinforcements, 2 more chaps if i recall correctly. there was this one chap whom we decided to focus on, Bjorn i think they called him, he was a poor target and resorted to attacking weak passing ships to steal their nanobots and battery to sustain his life, all the while fleeing 10k away from his comrades... but unfortunately for us, his comrades had begun to focus fire upon Aubrey 10k away while we was distracted with the cowardly Bjorn.

Aubrey's ship fell under fire, i believe a BPA officer tractor'd him in and retreated to Cambridge, the famed bounty hunter Carson came to our assist, something about laughing at us getting fooled about by the Eagle, unfortunately for the hunter, her new hammerhead did not cope well with the missiles fired by one of the hostile targets, and according to Carson, stepping on a mine, she did go on at "how evasive the hammerhead is", but im afraid it gives up too much armour to be effective, unlike the trusty templar. She also had her pod tractor'd and returned to Sheffield.

Now, Bjorn was possibly being supplied with nanobots from his friends, and all the innocents he killed for his pitiful existance. but this would turn against him, eventualy losing all his guns after a razor to his hull from Mark I believe, I also scored a direct hull hit with the razor, and another occurance where a mine struck his hull, the coward did his final act and engaged cruise, it was not a kill for us, but it was pretty much the same thing.

Following this, or before it.. im a little muddled after the now, very long fight, Liam scored a swift destruction on one of the Coalition ships, truely the only way to deal with these cowards, a swift defeat, or they'll run you around desperate for their lives. unfortunately for Liam, he was caught under fire from the other ships, reinforced by others at an unknown point (after liam's ship was destroyed, it was 4 or 5 against 2, i forget).

Now their target was me, clearly. we targeted a Ravens talon, Mark suggested the bomber, but i insisted this talon lacked experience and would fall quickly. It did not fall quickly like i had thought, but after a mere few minutes, it had engaged cruise and ran off, another coward.

following this, Mark and I went with his earlier suggestion, and attacked the Bomber, it was not a terribly difficult foe, and his friends were failing horribly at hiting me, in a templar no less, they could use some target practice. the bomber, rather predictably ran away! 4 enemies to have ran away! they not counting as destructions, but near as damnit. Now, Flint had shown up and engaged the other ships, I believe he was able to destroy a LF before he was caught under fire, falling himself, the tally up to 4 ran, 2 destroyed. yet, they still had fighters left, they maintained numerical superiority for the greater part of the fight, not including the little eagle at the start. the fight was obviously going our way, with superior skill, regardless of being outnumbered, the two left seeing as they were now not outnumbering us, were no doubt scared to death. likely we would have dealt with them, but a passing Destroyer, HMS-Gilingvase (sorry if this is wrong). and forced the fight to end, the other coalition doing what they do best, run away.

Overall unfortunate loses, mostly unavoidable, or a bounty hunters folly. but it was a resounding success militarliy, the enemy recieved less destroyed, but a lot more very heavily damaged. 2 destroyed, 5-6 heavily damaged/ran away. to 1 hurt pride and three templar's destroyed. A victory in the end.

Me and Mark walked away with barely dented hulls but low on ammo from the long fight. though, as people will attest, I am bloody annoyed I had to stay .. 3? 4 hours? chasing after cowardly bloody coalition, long after my shift had ended.
