Command had orders for us to check around New York today. A massive Navy strike force was assembling around Norfolk, their destination was unknown but early scouts reported that such a buildup hitting one of our installations would have been painful. Thus, a strike force led by Major LeBlanc, consisting of PFCs Hendrick and Daniels and of course myself was deployed from the various "outlaw" hideouts of Liberty.
Our reunion would have been held aboard (or at least near) Buffalo, from where we were to proceed, but PFC Hendrick got compromised in his bomber by a border patrol in California. A Siege cruiser and its sole Guardian-class escort fighter tried to shoot him up as he entered, so we were to scramble and assist.
I arrived at the jump gate with Major LeBlanc on my six. The situation was not as bad as it seemed to be at first, although Henrick was being shot at by the Guardian already. Following a brief chatter, I was to assist, which led the cruiser to engage aswell.
The cruiser was crippled by our pair of bombers, but following the interference of a trigger-happy bounty hunter flying a Mafic-class mining vessel, Daniels got his ship shot from below his rear body part. Since half of our bomber support was gone at that point, we switched to the hunter who got blasted by a nicely-placed SNAC by Hendrick.
We then threw ourselves at the cruiser again, in an attempt to bring the annoying, yet not dangerous beast to its knees. We were successful at our given task, especially as some random thug arrived to lend us a hand equipped with an inferno.
The result was this:
We destroyed the cruiser's escort ship aswell, but allowed an arriving primary fleet Avenger to flee, taking note of our victory over the Navy's useless criminals.
