Tonight's patrol started out dead quiet. I don't think that there was more than 3 ships in the NY system at that moment. Officer Jack Bauer reported in for duty and we were having some shop talk when a Corsair gunboat was detected in the Texas system. Bauer got his SWAT bomber and headed to Texas. I landed and broke out my SWAT Gaurdian. When I arrived at the Texas system near the Jump Gate, Bauer was already engaged and hailed me that he needed bots and bats. I transferred them and was about to engage when Bauer's ship experienced a ion storm that temporarily disabled it. I flew cover for him, but the Gunboat, name of Qu Traquer, escaped.
Next up was a Perp by the name of Phyrgian. He had Nomad weapons on him and wasn't licensed for them. He also refused to drop them after he was asked for them. We left the Navy to deal with him.
We transited back into the NY system and passed a Cryer vessel (149) who tried to ORDER me to stay clear, because I might try to steal his research data. I informed him that he isn't in any position of authority to be giving me or any other LPI officer orders, and if he didn't like it we could go into the station and talk about it. At this point he shut his yap.
A known smuggler was detected, Kathir High Drive. I informed him that the Liberty Navy had labeled him as Kill On Sight. He continued to bear down on me. I ordered him to halt. He would not. I scanned him and he had 5000 units of Cardi onboard. I fired 2 Sunslayer torps, stripping his shields off of his liner. He continued on and docked with Manhattan.
I ordered Kathir to undock, pay a fine and leave Liberty space. At this point I also enlisted the help of a BH, Shipper the ambassador, and Air ace. Kathir undocked and ran behind the planet with the 3 of us in chase. He refused to stop and, well, he lead us straight to Rochester base! He docked and filled the comms channel with filth, then shut down for the night and wouldn't undock. I ordered the other 2 ships to disengage and return to Manhattan.
During this ruckus, a liberty rogue entered the system and started wreaking havoc. His ship name is LR I.Cant.Dance. His real first name is Ted. He informed me that LR Trump Card was out of town and he would be conveying Slypheed's regards to me in his place. I caught up with him at Fort Bush, and we trash talked a bit and then we fought. Mines, missles, and lasers lit the sky. Suddenly, my ships controls froze! I was flying straight and level, unable to evade! When Iwas able to get control of the ship again, it was too late. A missile hit the shields, followed by a mine. I was forced to eject. Methinks the maintenance officer has some explaining to do. The life pod deposited me on Fort Bush. I've had it for the night.
End of report.
