Today, I found out what it was like to have a big brother. Well, kind of. I'm the oldest of five children. I have a younger brother and three younger sisters. I spent my youth defending my siblings everytime some bully tried to take advantage of them. As the oldest, if I couldn't sucessfully defend my siblings, it was me who got pummeled. I had no older brother to defend me.
Today, I found out what a big brother could do for you. I received a call from LNS-Aurora. Apparently, a bomber and a gunboat decided to take on Aurora--one of Liberty's Carriers. I hopped on my Avenger, and quickly made my way to California System to try and render assistance.
As it was, I shouldn't have bothered. LNS-Aurora had things well in hand. He eliminated the gunboat and the bomber was taken down by an indie navy pilot named Julie.
I attempted to make it back to NY system, to dock my fighter, when i came upon a LR VHF. I kept my distance and endured an endless barrage of taunts. He appeared to be stalling, cause usually I don't get two words in before I get engaged into battle. Exactly as I had thought, another LR was spotted on long range scanners. I quickly hailed the Aurora for backup and he arrived in short order.
This is when it got funny. The second LR who was coming to help his friend, must have spotted Aurora, because not only did he turn tail and run, but he encouraged his friend to do so also. His friend, who was still with us, got so scared, he couldn't move. All I heard was respect coming out of his voice. He even asked if he could leave. Can you imagine that, a LR asking permission to leave the system. So that is what it's like to have a big brother. I like it. It's nice when someone has your back.
Anyways, kudos to you Aurora. Thanks for the backup.
