What appeared to be a mission to find Warlord Jordan Rudess a tooth brush, evolved into an intense Westpoint brawl.
After raiding a transport and obtaining two million credits for our cause, Taskmaster Jada Zachary, Warlord Jordan Rudess and I proceeded into the New York system. While looking for more transports, we stumbled upon Liberty vessels. Not only that... we also had an unexpected run in with the nomads. Rudess and I were both suspicious of the nomads... after all, we believed they were the ones behind Alexa's disappearence. Jadey-Zachy.... excuse me... Jada wanted to befriend them. Remembering Alexa... I burst out, and was tempted to destroy the nomad on the spot. I couldn't bring myself to do it. It was a strange feeling, unlike any I had ever experienced. I somehow.... knew that they weren't responsible. I broke down, I finally understood.
I noticed the nomads were drawn to my EPI-Def. systems. Without fear, I felt like I understood their strange cryptic tounge. I decided to take a long shot, remembering the presence of the Liberty vessels, and tried to rally the nomads to fight for our cause as suggested by Jada. More and more ships were joining the Liberty forces, of some were the KoF and USI. I knew our only chance to get out was to rally the nomads to our cause.
With Jordan Rudess's permission, I took control of the operation and, with a stroke of luck, managed to lead the nomads into battle. The Warlord was the enemy's prime target in the battle, and our attempts at protecting him proved to be futile. The enemy fighters were too numerous, and Rudess was taken out brutally from a LABC using the cosign Diesel. A massive siege weapon tore his ship apart, but Jada managed to recover his escape pod. After this happened, I ordered all allied ships to attack the KoF fighters, as they were the main force of harm to our ships. Luckily, the Hellfire Legion showed up after a few minutes of intense battle to assist. With a collected effort, our main targets shifted from the fighters to the Liberty Navy gunboats. We managed to take them out. Our next target was Diesel. Providing bomber cover, I targeted one of the KoF bombers and began to eat its hull away. Unfortunately... just as our fleet was taking down the LABC, I took out my shields and most of my hull with nuclear mines. I felt my ship tear apart as a vicious Nova Torpedo took out the remainder of the LABC, and myself. My combat armour respiratory system kicked in as I floated in the midst of the dog fight. Within a few moments, Jada came to my rescue, and I spent the duration of the brawl in her cargo bay. The Warlord's condition was dire. I treated him and myself with a spare medical kit inside Jada's ship. After a while, I was relieved to hear that the fight was a success. Jada wasted no time in getting us back to Buffalo, as she was also bleeding from multiple wounds.
After the fight, the three of us docked at Buffalo base to recover and rest. Overall, I believe the battle was a success, although the outcome may have been dire for the Raiders had Jada not pulled through. Thanks Jade, I owe you one. Fierceshot out.
