Todays missions involved moving assets back to O-52 for re-supply and refit.
The CPW-Social Credit is undergoing a Capital Ship Armour upgrade as per Commander Bethunes orders. And alternate weapons packages are being explored to maximize the ships potential following the orders of several Commissars who are eager to see the Social Credit maximize efficiency.
However, a strange communications chatter coming from the Orkney system has the Social Credit alter course and attempt to penetrate the minefield to investigate.
There were several incidents along the journey of seemingly malfunctioning Bomber class vessels randomly opening fire with their weaponry against anything larger than they were.
The Social Credit locked in two separate Bomber kills that were ineffective against the Credits anti-fighter Solaris cannons. These two kills arent worth logging, as they were swatted from the sky in moments.
The Languodoc system was harrowing, filled with lethal Geko class bombers that gave my gunnery crews a difficult time. We managed to elude these Council vessels by climbing above the plane, to assess the situation of the strange communications.
Unfortunately they were from an Order Command Carrier that was performing operations in the system, and wasnt too fond of the sudden appearance of a Coalition vessel. They opened fire with missile batteries, forcing the Credit to return fire. But our Anti-fighter configuration wasnt able to do more than tickle their shields, and after several minutes we were forced to withdraw. But it is important to note that there is something going on in Gallic territory, something to warrant a sizable and powerful Order presence up there.
The return journey to O-52 resulted in an encounter with a pirate vessel who panicked at our position guarding the O-5 jump hole, and they dropped their cargo of Artifacts when demanded. Quickly vowing that they would forsake a life of smuggling in favour of something less hazardous to their health. I think the Credit crew are bemused at being referred to as health hazards by smugglers.
Upon transit to O-5 we encountered a lone OPG-Rat by the name of Zer0, he refused to withdraw when ordered to do so, and so we opened fire upon him. The boy flew well, but had a wholly inadequate payload at his disposal, dropping mines at a rapid rate, mines that failed to damage Credits shields.
We hammered him with weapons fire, and forced him to run screaming and cursing all the way back to Omicron-Gamma.
The Credit returned to his home berth, ready to serve the Coalition further after his well earned refit and the tender loving care of the maintenance crews.
It is, again, important to note that numerous people contacted me during the course of the journey to inquire about joining the SCRA, I replied that they should report to the LRF at Pacifica for training, and when they feel ready, and the Commissars were willing, they could make their way to our recruitment office and apply in person.
