A busy two days for me, as I took the the shift that encompassed most of the day. Of course, there were the run ins with smugglers, pirates and the odd nomad. I will start with the day report from 2 days ago and I apologize for not getting this in earlier. I started my patrol in Texas, as I quickly found Spirit236 hauling diamonds that were from Rheinland. I explained the situation to him and he complied by dropping the cargo, later being destroyed.
After the incident, I moved to New York seeing 3 Xenos harrass civilians near Manhattan space. Their names are Dodgers, Caleb Swift(XG} and XA-Xenopeltis. There were already officers repelling the Xenos however and their names are LN-Draco_Nephis, [LN]-Mike.Ypsilantis, [LN]-Adrian.Epsilon, =LSF= Copeland, =LSF= Shadow's.Hand, DW-Raekur. There were other pirates rumored to be in the area and so we had this force. During the fight, we crippled the Xeno Dodgers and the remaining xenos attempted to flee by thrusting. The Liberty Gunboat Draco_Nephis and I pursued them however, until they turned back and attacked us. They quickly ran as more support arrived and the threat, gone.
After much later in the day, I began my last patrol in New York alone, until I found Lane Hacker Rob Jarvis, Basilisk, and John-Calico, near Manhattan space. I ordered them to leave however, they refused and a fight ensued. Basilisk quickly left the fight and that left Jarvis and I to spar. I later learned that John Calico was a Junker and was not part of their force. Jarvis and I engaged in a duel and went on for several minutes until I was eventually shot down by the Sabre. I retired for the night as my Avenger was being repaired.
A busy day for me yesterday, as I took another shift that ate up most of the day. To begin the day, Rick Campbell was making trouble around Manhattan and I was pitted against him with [LN]-Ryan MacTavish, =LSF= Cartmen, =LSF= Garmen, [LN]-David.Hale, =LSF=Silverwolf and =LSF=Internity. Half of our forces were looking for another pirate however which I believe was a Rogue Gunboat. Rick was quickly destroyed behind Manhattan after several jousts.
After the incursion and patrols being dispatched to the =LSF= and [LN], =LSF=Internity and I caught [OTC]CounterfeitCarlos carrying artifacts which he successfully sold on Manhattan due to his quick jump into Manhattan space. I have taken a guncam of his hold and will be apprehended next time. A few moments later, he tries to make a break for it with a hold full of Counterfeit Software. =LSF=Cartman and I hailed him many times but received no responce. After this, we destroyed his ship, him not saying a word the entire time. While destroying the cargo, a trader by the name of Transport_Destroyer arrived and took 45 units of the contraband and I have evidence as well, however after several unsuccessful attempts of taunting me, was destroyed for disobeying an order.
A few patrols later, I found a Xeno by the name of Graille who was near Fort Bush. I ordered him to leave, but again I was forced to fight. I fought for some minutes, until I was crippled by friendly fire from the nearby station and my ship was destroyed as Graille took advantage of this.
In the later part of the day, another Xeno attack unfolded near Manhattan and this time, the oppresors were Chosen_Balthasar and Remiel. To my aid were Abraham, [LN]-Ryan.MacTavish and RobDollar. They were no match however, and the Xenos were quickly subdued. Shortly after the fight, Harvester 25 came in with his Talcara Cruiser. This situation was intersting because there was no hostility from the Harvester as it slowly turned back and approached West Point. I called for the aid of [LN]-Ryan.MacTavish, [Navy]Taylor and Casero, as I continued to follow it to the Rogue Destroyer in system. There, it opened fire on the Destroyer until it looped back again toward West Point. After repeated hails from the Commander and myself and receiving none, we opened fire and destroyed the renegade ship.
After the Harvester incursion, I began sweeping all of the systems for any activity, but to my surprise, there were none. A couple hours later, I found a nomad named ***unknown_contact*** and was attacked. [LN]-Zachary.Ryans and [LN]-David.Hale were also on scene, and did not interfere because of DW and KoF involvement. I dropped out of the fight, as the nomad was clearly outnumbered between the DW and KoF ships. During the fight, an Outcast Destroyer by the name of (ADMIRAL)Luis-Feorn arrived but was quickly destroyed by concentrated fire from everyone in the area. The Nomad was also destroyed minutes later.
Liberty once again, fell back into its quiet state as I patrolled the surrounding systems a couple times more until I recieved reports of a Rheinland Pirate Cruiser entering New York and hiding in the Badlands. The pirates did make a quick appearance and jumped back into the Badlands, and their names are: Kane Taggart (Rheinland Pirate Cruiser), Basilisk (LH GB), Rick.Campbell. Vice Admiral Hale on the Integrity assembled a force that consisted of LC Poseidon, [LN] Shad.Winston, Fred.Hertz, Nolan Wolf, =LSF= Copeland and =LSF=Infinity. We stationed ourselves near the New York jumphole, waiting for the pirates to jump out. During this time, a Luxury Liner by the name of Black Betty held a cargo hold of nearly 4,000 artifacts. We pursued her as she tried to jump and she did with success, but with us right behind her. She was destroyed after many hails and we also found the pirates. The Rheinland Pirate Cruiser went down with repeated fire from the bombers, Poseidon and the Integrity. Next to go was the Lane Hacker gunship Basilisk and then finally, Rick Campbell. We quickly left the area around the jumphole and back into hospitable space.
