Bloody hell!

I'm not much on the mood for writing an elaborate report, but I'll hammer out the details anyways.

As reported by Jin'ko, we made our way out to Gammu to pick her up a Supernova Cannon. All good, we made it there and back with no incidents, and I hit the paperwork for an hour or so on the Ogashawa when we returned.

Soon enough, I was back on patrols, and started picking up hostile and unknown targets in 13 on long range scanners. Idrac was back. I hailed Jin'ko in Honshu and we were soon idled above Naha.

I immediately started picking up Outcasts near by. We hailed them, telling them to break off. 'Nuff said, we were in battle quickly. Here's the official list of who we encountered:

Idrac (Outcast ID/IFF, Lane Hacker GB)
Unknown Outcast (Outcast IFF, Rogue GB)
?????.Flare (Outcast IFF, Falcata)
Light.of.Resolution (Junker IFF, Merc ID, Stinger VHF)

Jin'ko has seemed to have misinformed of the pirates' numbers, as there were without a doubt two Gunboats involved in this incident. I cannot recall the Rogue GB pilot's call-sign, as well as I cannot recall the Bomber pilot's first name.

We focused our fire on Idrac first, and dealt a fair bit of damage to him while Jin'ko was still in combat. Unfortunately, that wasn't long. I got a hurried transmission of her withdrawel, and then she swatted down.

The Mercenary...

Whether the Outcasts hired him over private channels - which I severely doubt - or whether he simply had a bloodlust and decided to join the winning side, I don't know. All I know is that:

Mercenary Light.of.Resolution is hereby banned from GMG space, and shall be given one warning to break off. If he doesn't comply immediately, kill on site.

Jin'ko was out of the battle, I was down to next to no weaponry from the Rogue GB's missile artillery, the Hacker GB was playing bait, and the fighter and bomber were attacking me from all sides. I held out as long as I could, and crippled Idrac's hull to a breaking point.

Then my Supernova fell apart.

Game set. Match. I tried to retreat, but the Gunboats opened up on me and my Taiidan was destroyed. I ejected and was picked up by a passing convoy a few hours later. I'm alive, obviously, and waiting for a new bomber.

Those ganging idiots will get their's soon.

Hasting out!

End report.
