Comrades, I have just returned from a routine patrol of Omega-3. After arriving in the Omega-3 system, I began my patrol of the trade lanes starting at the Cambridge gate, and intending to work my way all the way through to the Stuttgart gate in the Omega-7 system. Unfortunately, that didn't work out as planned.
After passing Freeport 1, I encountered a trade vessel, the IMS-Toronto, being threatened by a Wilde controlled Rheinland Gunboat, the RNC-Werewolf, and a Nomad Assassin named Senzjenti. As soon as I stopped, the Nomad began communicating with me telepathically. I gathered that it was trying to intimidate and unsettle me. I'll admit that it had an effect on me, but I kept to my training. I'll be heading down to Kalashnikov's after I complete this report, though.
I told the Toronto to make their escape, while I covered them. It proved a little difficult, as the enemy was not willing to easily part with their prize. I managed to distract them eventually, though, not far from Aland Shipyard. Because I was outnumbered and outgunned, I drew them into the asteroid field, which protected me from most of the gunboats fire, but the Asssassin was more than able to keep up with me. I kept the battle going as long as I could, but eventually I ran out of nanobots, and an additional Wilde vessel arrived on the scene. Knowing that I was unlikely to achieve anything else beyond my own death, I withdrew from battle. After I evaded a couple cruise disruptors, they broke off pursuit and allowed me to escape.
I am sorry that I was unable to neutralize the threat, however I do feel that saving the lives of the Toronto's crew was a small victory at the very least. The Toronto's captain messaged me afterwards to thank me for saving his crew's lives. I told him that I would consider spreading the word of the Coalition's protection would be enough thanks. Hopefully that leads to more sympathy for our cause, and weakens the Capitalist control of the houses just a little bit more.
