Regarding today's patrol;

First things first, the patrol path today was very long. It started off fairly slowly though, with little initial activity in both New York and Texas. Rerouting through to California, we found two slavers, one after the other.

The first dropped his contraband cargo after a fairly long chat, though the LSF managed to balls up the rescue of the hostages somehow ... the less said about that frankly, the better.
The second however, tried to barter, offering what he described as a 50-50 split. This was obviously unacceptable, and his pilotting landed him, or rather, evaporated him, in the atmosphere of California Minor. He took his cargo with him, unfortunately.

Of course, it goes without saying that the {SU}Midnight.Express is now a wanted slaver.

On the way back from California to New York, to assist some USI ships which had sent out a distress call, I encountered a barghest pilot, Rommie, attempting to commit an act of piracy against an Ageira ship. This was, obviously unacceptable. After the engagement began, which was a given, two additional Liberty gunboats dropped out of the trade lane. Once the Ageira vessel had reached safety, I told them to back off, but of course, they didn't listen. No one ever does. Eventually, Rommie was holed somewhere in the nearby asteroid field.

I recieved a donation to the Liberty Navy from the Ageira vessel, Ageira|Alhambra, totalling ten million credits. This captain is the first to be listed in the donations part of the Law of Liberty document.

The above events had delayed me from the USI distress call significantly, but luckily ensign Walker had signed on and taken over the responsibility from that, rescuing the USI ships from danger. I arrived later on the scene and helped to dispatch two of the three enemy gunships. The last one was the subject of a wager between myself and George, which I of course won.

Oh, and before all of this, Logan Willows got his ass handed to him on a silver platter by a Hellfire Legionnaire in Magellan. Hah. Serves him right.

Anyway, we then decided to do a border patrol in Kepler, which led to four ships, myself, Lieutenant Jack Will, Ensign George Walker and a gunboat named Gunnberg, escorting a Samura affiliated Ryuujin heavy transport, India, in and out of Liberty. We recieved a small tip for the service, and saved the pilot from suffering two instances of projected piracy. Both of those groups of pirates were displaced without conflict. Good job to those involved.
