My apologies to the LPI for being so disorganized, however here is some evidence regarding a Cardamine smuggler know as SpeedRunner. This fiend ran straight into me with a full load. Naturally he denied it. Naturally I got proof. I hope you see he gets what he deserves... --Evidence--
>Patrol Duty
Today, patrol started with a quick sweep of New York. Not five minutes into the shift did I come across a Rogue fighter. This one had a few civilians on board. I ordered him to release them into my custody or face the full force of my weapons. This smart Rogue decided the hostages weren't worth his life and jettisoned them safely.
After I was sure he wasn't coming back, I continued on with my patrol to California - A know pirate hot-spot. There, I encountered another Rogue. He was in one of their bulky "Barghest" bombers. He was only carrying a few grams of Cardamine and so I left him to run back to the squaller where he lives. --Guncam000--
>Rheinland Intelligence Operation[Encrypted]
After leaving the Rogue in California, Captain Backus requested my presence in Texas for an intelligence operation in Hamburg. Apparently the Rheinlanders had acquired some information that could pertain to house security. The Captain wouldn't tell me much more, however I was eager to finally be able to fight back against the Rheinlander scum knocking at our door.
Captain Backus went ahead into Hamburg and relayed his position back to me. Within a few minutes, I'd joined him at the rendezvous location and we started our work. Before we could ascertain anything of value, two Rheinland Military officers stumbled upon our transmissions and were hot on our tails. Before we knew it, the two Rheinlanders were right on top of us - We had to fight our way out.
After a small scuffle, the good Captain managed to snare one of the fighters with a mine, leaving it crippled.
Just as we were about to space the other officer, a wild ion storm hit, leaving us all completely ballistic. When we managed to regain systems, the officer had disappeared. The ion storm had left both mine and the Captain's ship heavily damaged, meaning we had no option but to abandon the mission and bug out to Texas.
>Pirate Disruption
Vice Admiral Harper, Ensign Leon Tigre and myself were all called to the Colorado gate to deal with a decent size pirating fleet assembled there. A gunship, Hell's_Descent-Basilisk, a light fighter, Phosphate and a bomber, Onyx.Wolffe were all assembled, attacking whomever they felt like. We had to put a stop to that. The Vice Admiral ordered the initial attack and Ensign Tigre joined in soon after. Unfortunately, as I was the only bomber available, all of the pirates immediately targeted me. We responded by targeting their little gunship. Soon, that fell into a heap.
The bomber was slightly easier to take down, with the Vice-Admiral pummeling its hull with the upgraded Vengeance's.
Suddenly, a computer malfunction aboard the Vice-Admiral's ship sent his ship into cruise. Knowing I couldn't take down the small and swift light fighter myself, I retreated back to Fort Bush.
>Rheinland Incursion[Encrypted]
I was called off my lunch break with a Rheinland cruiser spotted in Texas. The LNS-Calypso already had the Cruiser under arrest. I arrived and authorised the boarding of the non-responsive RNC craft.
As the boarding teams were making their way to the bridge, three new Rheinland contacts were detected inbound. The Calypso's Captain ordered an emergency withdraw from the Rheinland vessel. The cruiser suddenly became active and the boarding team came under heavy fire. Realising the vessel was arming weapons, I ordered my gunners to engage the cruiser. The Calypso managed to hit the cruiser's reactor, downing it. There were two losses on the boarding team. Let their souls rest in peace. --Guncam002--
The three bombers were still posing a significant problem. That was, until the Calypso managed to snipe one with an ace Mortar shot.
The ensuing fight left one bomber with significant damage and the other with loss of pride. Both retreated after being beaten down.
I'd like to commend Captain Backus for his bravery and Vice-Admiral Harper for his sharp-shooting. Ensign Tigre's honour for the Liberty Navy is clear, however perhaps a better knowledge of the chain of command is needed. That being said, he was vital during the scuttling of the pirate ships today. I wish him a good recovery in hospital.
