This is the duty log from the past two days. My apologies, but Ion Storms prevented me from uploading one for yesterday and one for today.

My shift started with a very odd occurance. Upon a routine chack of our long range scanners, It was discovered that a Zoner, by the name of Peacekeeper-:-Elysium, was in Alaska. He shiptype was reading as an Advanced Battlestar, so our CO at the time, Ryan MacTavish ordered all personelle to Alaska, where we gave chase to the armored behemoth. He was hailed by CO MacTavish, and replied that he was "protecting Liberty, because there were never enough Navy or LPI around to keep people out of Alaska." Very odd behavior for a Zoner, if you ask me. He fled into Omicron Minor, and we broke off the chase.


Everything was clear until Eddie's Old Rumbucket was spotted, and apparently he was having some engine trouble. We called upon a civilian Repair_Ship to come and help Eddie out. Eddie had commited no crimes, and he seemed sober enough, so we let him go. Not withstanding the 30 or 40 PWIs(Piloting While Intoxicated) on his record...



So, on to today's work.

At 1:44pm GMT+2, [RGS]Nihonomaru.com was spotted in a Liberty Gunboat with a mercenary ID. I approached him in my bomber, with the LNS-Basilisk providing backup and asked him to pay the fine for stealing a capital ship, then escorted him to leave Liberty space, as he had a Mercenary ID. He complied fully, after some arguing at first.


Jesus.Herrera was spotted around 2:10pm GMT+2 in New York and is engaged by Hobgl, LT Matt Pregur, and subLT Malrone. All three officers were shot down.

At 2:26pm GMT+2, Pilot was found having Artifacts, and was ordered to halt. He ran from several Navymen, and then i disrupted a TL and forced him to halt. We hailed him several times, requesting him to drop his cargo and pay a 2 million credit fine. He did not reply for some time, but dropped the cargo, which was destroyed. Upon further scanning of his ship, 2 Corsair weapons were found. When requested to drop them as well, he complied partially by dropping one. I then requested him to pay the fine, which he made no reply to. He then attempted to enter the TL twice in 30 seconds, so i gave him 15 more seconds to comply, or be destroyed. He chose the hard way and remained silent, so i ordered the Navymen to open fire on his ship, but just to drop the shield. Pilot still did not reply, and tried to flee, so i fired an Antimatter bolt at him, and destroyed his ship. He still has the 2 million credit fine on his head.


at 4:39pm GMT+2, on a routine patrol through Texas, i encountered a RH Military IFF/RH Police ID RH Cruiser orbiting Houston. I ordered him out of Liberty space on the threat of a military escalation, and he complied in leaving.

At 7:28pm GMT+2, Tia.Delma was engaged by myself and Ryan MacTavish, and was destroyed, while Grunt, an outcast in a Sabre escape to Texas and fled when engaged. ((And i would like to point out that at one point, Tia.Delma floated away at high velocity, due to network lag, right when he was about to die, but the pilot came back and conceded defeat, and was finished off by Ryan MacTavish. Rare amongst pirates, is this kind of honor.))

At 8:14pm GMT+2, Kinja_marie was picked up by long range scanners in the Alaska system. I was currently on patrol with Recruit Jake Ryan, so we went to Zone 21 to enter the Alaska system. A Junker tagged vessel by the name of Hunterkiller entered Alaska moments before us, but could not be found. Myself and Recruit Jake Ryan proceeded to perform a search pattern, and we picked up Kinja on our Radars. I Hailed her and requested that she power down weapons, cut engines and report her position so she may be escorted out of Alaska. After no reply, i ordered her to cut engines again, but she tried to flee. After several CDs, she was knocked out of cruise and Jake and i opened fire on her ship, a LR Bomber. She did not return fire, oddly, but attempted to reignite her cruise engines several times. Due to some excellent shooting by Jake Ryan, i was able to destroy her vessel and tractor her escape pod. She is currently being held in Prison Station Mitchel.



Thats the end of my Duty Log for these two extended shifts.

With regards and fly safe,
