Hello all,

Reporting on the events of today (yesterday for some of you).

So, for those of you who noticed, there was some good training in Connecticut today. Thank you Joey/Madvillain, and Melander.

After that, Lancehead, Canebreak, and I went out hunting in Colorado. There were many Engagements, some successful, some not so successful, but good fighting from everyone, and may gunboats be cursed for all eternity (except ours of course).

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: Colorado
Ship Type: Transport
IFF: none
Outcome: DESTROYED by XA-Canebreak, 4890 Boron recovered by Lancehead who switched to a Freighter temporarily.
Evidence: available upon request

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: Colorado
Ship Type: Transport
IFF: none
Outcome: DESTROYED by XA-Silekar.Dravin (AKA Egg-Eater)
Evidence: available upon request
Notes: This guy was a thief, justly destroyed for stealing and attempting to flee afterwards (who knew a nova made such a beautiful explosion when combined with a thief).

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: Colorado
Ship Type: Heavy Fighter
IFF: none
Outcome: DESTROYED by XA-Canebreak
Evidence: available upon request
Notes: Escorted the transport thief, got ripped up real quick.

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: Colorado
Ship Type: Very Heavy Fighter
IFF: Bounty Hunter
Outcome: Fled from
Evidence: available upon request
Notes: Engaged before Gunboat arrived, see Gunboat notes below for further information on the encounter...

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: Colorado
Ship Type: Gunboat
IFF: Bounty Hunter
Outcome: Fled from
Evidence: available upon request
Notes: When the gunboat joined the fight, XA began a tactical retreat. Canebreak and Lancehead were forced to eject, but Silekar managed to escape the enemies. Also, an independent Xeno by the name of Poldolski joined us temporarily, but was destroyed by the bounty hunters when he went against them alone.

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engagement location: New York
Ship Types: Two Junker Snubs, and one Junker Gunboat
IFF: All Junkers
Outcome: One Snub killed by XA-Lancehead, all XA eventually ejected.
Evidence: available upon request
Notes: At first, there was only one junker, then there were three, and the XA ejected one by one as the junker gunboat and his Snub allies overpowered us.

After the Junker fight, we all went our separate ways, and I teamed up with an independent Xeno by the name of Starlighter. We hit some transports, Starlighter destroying one who refused to talk or stop. We also received a donation from a sympathetic Universal Shipper. My half of the donation went to the XA Bank, while Starlighter saved his half for a Mark 8 Armor Upgrade. I also have two Big Game Path event write-ups to put in from my time with Starlighter, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. This pilot needs to rest.

Good work everyone,

Egg-Eater

Said the pirate to the merchant: Your money or your life?

Merchant: What was the question?

Pirate: Pay or Die!

Merchant: That's not a question.

Pirate: Hand over 2 mil you corporate flunky, or be atomically disgronified!

Merchant: Sorry, I can't hear you, too busy docking.

Pirate: Wha... Dang it. *Turns to the new recruits* And that is why you shoot the trader who refuses to cut his engines. You just have to make sure you asked them to stop, and threatened them properly before you space them. Also, record your conversations in case the dead come back to complain. That's how it works here folks. Now go out and cut yourself a piece of the corporate pie!
