Junkers,

While our primary focus should be on the Wild and the immediate and deadly threat they oppose to us, we should not ignore the rogue Bounty Hunters which plague our outpost in Omega-15.

Again I reiterate the infectious stupidity the Bounty Hunter Battlecruiser inflicts on its captains and crews and relay to you today's report.

While patrolling our outpost, I was pursued into the debris field and engaged by three Bounty Hunter Capitals talking in a code of some sort. Callsigns are Lady, Wilf_Brim, and Mysob. You can garner some form of recon by the Lady's statement of '14' and my distance from the craft.



The ensuing attack was hard and brutal and my craft was soon smashed into complete failure. Thankfully, I lost no crew and the power core remained stable. After my wreck was towed to Bornholm's mooring point, I chanced an escape after hastily nano-repairing severe hull breaches and equipment failures. We were to break out and send for aid.

Luckily, only one capital remained. We attempted to slip by him, assuming he would let a wounded combatant recuperate. One cruise disruption later, we knew it was not going to happen -- but enough systems remained usable that the Caveat was able to defend herself. Emptor's steady firepower and superior mobility were more than a match for the raw blistering onslaught of the Mysob, hammering it at a distance and wearing it down. Soon the captain was speaking the Hunter code in system, calling for help. The other craft were in disbelief that not only had the Caveat pieced herself together, but was fighting like a cornered animal and -winning- after being denied the ability to escape.

They soon discovered the consequence of unwarranted aggression and hubris.



The Caveat Emptor is still in the shipyard, having her systems overhauled and armor reinforced -- finer and better work than nanobots could provide. But we have three more callsigns to watch for, and to hunt without mercy or remorse.
