After a rather hectic day yesterday, today seemed rather calm. Responding to a distress call from [KoF]Chakotay, I flew my Guardian to California where I found a pirate in a Barghest bomber named Derek Miller attacking another trader named Agin Red. With multiple attempts at ordering the pirate to stop being unheard, I opened fired on the pirate. I came too late however, as the pirate shot his last torpedo at the trader, exploding the vessel. With Chakotay leaving the area, I continued fire on the pirate fleeing towards the ice fields. Once 3k into the field, I was forced to retreat.
Later, Secretary Julia Wolfe, along with Ensign Preager and Lieutenant Commander Casero joined me on patrol of the Colorado and New York systems. With a minor situation concerning a smuggler dealt with by the Secretary, I dismissed Casero and Preager because of the lack of threats in Liberty at the time.
