***Incoming Transmission***
***ID: Francisco Perez***
***Location: Malta high orbit***


Greetings, my brothers. Upon having great pride in my shiny Sabre, today was the day it received its first scratches and battle scars.

As per request, i traveled to the independent worlds between Liberty and Kusari to meet up with a few Lane Hacker merchants to purchase some new weaponry for our bombers.

While i took the route through sigmas, as i returned home, i decided to return through the Taus, i guess this was a lucky day for a few pilots, since, as i neared the jumphole to Tau 37, my scanners picked up a neutral vessel bearing a military transmitter and a military ID. Since this ship has never been to Liberty systems, i guess the board computer did not recognize threat in the particular transmitter code, that will be fixed as soon as possible.

The armored transport was not even attacked by our patrols, as i neared it, while a scan of the ships hold revealed this

The transmitter as well, of course.



As you can see, the commander of said vessel had captured two pilots, and upon asking to drop them, instead the man decided i ignore three warnings, the fourth was a warning shot, that he immediately returned.

Well...i must say that it took me quite a while to actually take this armored transport down, a carelessly launched cruise disruptor hit a fellow outcast, which, taking it as a hostility from my side, attacked me.

The vessel, however, was disabled and the pilots were tractored.
The commander of the transport and the crew were picked up by a IMG vessel, of all things, yet since my ship had suffered some damage, i decided to leave him be, hoping that he will not return.




After i handed the debilitators over to the 101st armory, I went for a small rest in the local port pub.


After a few hours though, a transmission from a friendly smuggler reached me, asking for guidance, the Borderworld transport waiting in Tau23, it seems that there were some CR in Tau37.

After a long range scan, it turned out it was merely one Viper Mk II and a Miner.

I headed out to keep guard near the jumphole to Alpha, the smuggler was not attacked, so, after being told that the two vessels were near Falkland base and not posing a threat, i did not do anything.

I spent about a hour near the jumphole, simply wondering what were the CR up to, soon after, another Viper had joined them.

It seems that the SOB reacted quicker to this possible threat and soon enough i was accompanied by SOBs JollyRoger and Unholy1. After explaining the situation, they too did not seem up for much of a fight, but it seemed that the CR had other plans and approached our location while taunting.

Ofcourse, this was unacceptable, so we engaged them both.



Soon after, though, another viper joined in on the fun, yet it was quickly disabled.

My apologies to SOB JollyRoger, whose Sabre was almost destroyed by my nuke mine, again, my training has only begun, i just hope this wont happen again.



JollyRoger, though was quickly transported back to Malta by an unknown vessel, it was either an outcast patrol or a smuggler or a zoner, it was hard to tell by this point. SOB Pendragon, though quickly provided backup and soon enough the last of them fell.

My vessel was a bit battered up after this, yet it was repaired right there on the Freeport.


This wasn't a really eventful day, yet at least our Falcatas have a even more wider choice of weaponry.
