Today I launched from Dijon after a short medical leave to checkup on my old wounds from Marne, which had grown slightly painful, to find a reletively quiet Burgundy, with only a few passing convoys to interupt the serene beauty of the system. Not long after recieving my orders for the day, a message came through from the Beauvrey about a possible Sirian ship headed in my direction. As such, I set all my systems ready for combat and waited to hear news of its demise or its approach. The latter was the first recieved, and seeing as he had Royal police pilots in his hold, I was reluctant to engage, but it became evident he was not in the mood for discussion, and as he was without doubt a Sirian, I engaged in combat:
As he seemed not to be in his right mind, as I immagine many Sirians are when they think they can come into our country, the battle did not last long, and his demise was captured by my ships guncam.
Before I had a chance to deliver the captured Royal Police pilots to Dijon, a Maquis ship appeared on long range scans, after a conversation in which I acertained that his ship was vastly outdated and inferior, he threw down the gauntlet and requested a duel to the death. I being not one to forsake my honour, accepted, and we proceeded to a safe distance from Dijon, and engaged eachother. After a lengthy fight, in which both of us could have been victorious, I managed to land an antimatter shot upon his hull, obliterating his ship in one blast.
By the time our duel had ended, a pair of Council fighters and a Royal Police fighter had appeared, and were watching us fight. As soon as I destroyed the Maquis ship, the first of the Council fighters engaged me in single combat.
His shield swiftly fell to my guns, and after a few minuites i managed to keep his shield down long enough to land an antimatter shot upon his hull, obliterating his ship and forcing him to eject. the second Council ship, who had watched both duels now engaged, even though i had killed two of his comrades and given him the chance to flee. This proved to be his undoing, as with a few swift jousts his ship also fell to my antimatter.
After sorting through the wreckage of the three ships, i returned the Royal Police pilots to the Policeman who had watched the entire fight, and returned to Dijon for debriefing and writing this battle report.
