Officer ID: Recruit Officer Frank Austin
Subject: Patrol 01
Location: fort Bush

Patrol 01 began unexpectedly, as I was conducting flight tests in the vicinity of Fort Bush and talking with the master of the Prison Liner Maddox when an Outcast came by demanding the Liner release its prisoners or be destroyed. Not a good idea for him. Between myself, Officer Kingman and the guns of the liner and Fort Bush his Falcata was reduced to scrap. Officer Kingman scooped up his escape pod and we transferred him to the master of the Maddox for incarceration pending trial.



The Maddox took some heavy antimatter fire in the process. Captain Caja reported some breakouts and rioting on one of the prisoner decks, and Fort Bush sent riot cops over to beat sense into them. Afterwards myself and Officer Kingman escorted the Maddox to Norfolk Shipyard for repairs.





With the Maddox safely docked, I followed Officer Kingman into the Texas system, where we encountered a merc locked in combat with a Hacker in a Scimitar on the Texas Gate/Houston lane. We intervened and knocked him out of the sky. We also shot up some rookie Rogues who decided to interfere.



At this point Officer Kingman complained of a severe lack of coffee, and made for the Sunbucks on Fort Bush. I flew to Norfolk to check up on the repairs to the Maddox and handed my Rogue prisoners to the master of that vessel. I used the bounty money to buy myself a new lightbar.

I launched from Norfolk and linked up with Officer Kimble and Recruit Wolfe. We received a distress call from a Navy gunboat designated the BongHit (Didn't know the navy condoned that sorta thing) and flew to its location where we encountered a Scimitar, a Broadsword and a Tridente Gunship. There was a firefight.

Comments: The opening shots of the engagement, comms and John Kimble.


The only loss on our side was Recruit Wolfe, but we pulled her pod out of the wreckage of her Libby and sent her back to Fort Bush on a passing freighter. With that we broke for coffee and donuts.

Total for the day? Perps: 1, LPI: 5
