KNF in tue 31

[dude42]

{C}Tuetorix-(*B*)


Yesterday, I had my Cruiser Officer, {C}Ulysses-(*D), in Tau-31 showing the KNF what we Bretonians are made of. He met [SF]-SFBS-NORWICH and ROSO at the Leeds gate and they banded together for a joint operation, and they sure did hit them hard. (Pic Below)

The KNF had been planning a push through the Leeds gate with about 5 battleships but the [SF] had good intel and was a step ahead of them, as several other [SF] ships were inbound to the location. I could see that it was getting hot so I told my Cruiser Officer to stand down and brought out the big guns, my battleship. Many lion hearted men showed up to defend Bretonian Virtue.

[attachmentid=2372] {C}Tuetorix-(*B*) - [SF]-SFBS-NORWICH - [SF]-SFF-Raven.Corvus - [SF]-SFF-Ghidora - [SF]-SFF-Flinn - [BSO]_Vampire_[CT]
The KNF push had been destroyed in Tau-31 and the civilian ships in Leeds, made safe.
The [SF] returned to Bretonian space and I went to refit at Harris. Some time passed and then I herd my name chattered on the radio.
Transmission: Shhhhkkk....Come in Tueto..Shhhhhhtttt. We have some pirate Skkkhhhh.... at Cambridge Kkkssssssssttt.... not looking good.
I started toward Cambridge but it took a while to get there. As I came through the gate I could see that the 3 criminals were about 12K away in an unknown direction. I moved to the planet (Cambridge) in search for the NORWICH But only found debris, one of which was an escape pod containing the captain of the NORWICH. I got a second transmission but this one was quite clear.
Transmission: I sure wish you got here sooner Tuetorix, listen, I got 10MIL in my account that says you can go teach those RAs a bloody good lesson.
The pirate group was RACS-Britanov (Destroyer), RAHF-Totenkompt-[CDR] (Fighter) and Bluntpencil (Fighter).
I assumed he meant both but, after I asked, all he said was RAHF so I made him the primary target.
I started back to the NL gate in hopes that I would cut off their escape but as I came out of the lane they were there. Instinct kicked in and I fired a volley at Totenkompt but he then jumped with 15% armor left. (Pic Below)

They all started running through NL and we all chased each other back and forth all over the system and I must say that the destroyer, RACS-Britanov, was giving me lots of trouble. eventually I had Totenkompt on the run and the Britanov close behind. As we pulled up next to Kensington Platform I scored a hit on Totenkompt, leaving him with .023 Armor (Solar wind could have done him in at that point) It was then that a missile from the Britanov detonated on my left side, killing Totenkompt. (Pic Below) (Still counts as a kill for me)

Cha-Ching!
After that I ran home (Planet Cam) limping from the damage I sustained from the Britanov. I was stripped of all my turrets I the battle and went to the outlying BH bases to be reequipped. What I am getting paid for this will not cover the cost but if the SF were completely broke I would still do it for free!
I had returned to Cam with a more advanced version of the guns I lost and had two {C} fighters inbound for training, and they would get it!
The RAs had come back looking for me personally and had set up a blockade to pin me at Cam.
This time it was RACS-Britanov (Destroyer), RAHF-Totenkompt-[CDR] (Fighter) and RAGB-Argumentor (GunBoat).
So I told my closer fighter, {C}Ryoken-(F), to run the blockade and dock at cam so he can refit and get ready. The other fighter, {C}Luner-(F), reported in at Battleship Norfolk. As Luner entered the lane to Planet Cam, me and Ryoken launched to orbit.
The six of us had a long, hard battle and Ryoken's fighter was destroyed but I finished off the Britanov. After I blew up their destroyer, the other two ran for the hills, and I don't blame them. (Pic Below)
