Damn, that was too close!

After today's reasonably unchallenging foray into Hellfire Legion space, in which myself and the mission's Commander Zehn managed to take [HF]-Aralie (Dieter.Zehn's kill) and a Helghast pilot named Blake (my kill), out of action, I had decided to take a breather in Magellan on Freeport 4. Note to command: The Helghast seem to be helping our foes. Treacherous scum.

This evening, as I took off from Freeport 4 (intending to return to Cadiz in Omega-5), I found myself ambushed by an AW destroyer... the Chimaera.

I tried to get into the trade lane to the Manchester Gate, but it was blown apart before my eyes!

I quickly came up with a plan very becoming of my new Recon status... I fled into the nearby asteroid field, attempting to dodge incoming missiles at the same time. Fortunately the rocks provided cover and obstructed the Chimaera's pursuit. I was only just able to jump into Manchester, away from the AW destroyer. It did not pursue further.

I got home to Cadiz, and am currently hoping to be supplied with additional equipment (A bomber, like the good Commander Zehn's would be nice...) and training in bomber tactics.

The Coalition will not be kept down!

Ares out.
