INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Sub-Lieutenant Konstantin Petrovin
LOCATION: Zhukovsky Station, Omega-52 System
Petrovin reporting in. I took part in a raid against Bretonia, along with Tovarisch Commander Warner and Broch, Tovarisch Doctor Caesera, and Tovarisch Rasputin and Williams. Tovarisch Lieutenant Brooks was manning the CPW-Social.Credit which rendezvoused with us later on.
We were on our way to the Dublin System, hoping to catch a few pirates in the act, but Lady Luck felt like smiling for us: the infamous Joker appeared in Omega-3, from the very direction we were heading. Needless to say such a terrorist was given no quarter, and Tovarisch Commander Broch ordered all guns to open up on the Tridente he was flying. He was clever enough to use the local star to his advantage, skirting its corona in order to recharge shields, but we whittled away at him regardless. I made a transfer of nanobots to Tovarisch Williams since he was running low, and around that time Tovarisch Brooks arrived in the Social Credit. He bravely took the fight straight into the corona until the Joker must have noticed he had no alternatives and tried to break free. All guns were set upon him, and his escape pod was left to get pulled into the star.
After a few of our number had to dock at Freeport One for repair and resupply, we moved on to Dublin which was curiously quiet. Our patrol essentially completed, we started back for home when we ran across a Corsair by the name of "Maliki". The fool tried to pirate a Freelancer's transport right in our faces; must have been completely oblivious to us while he salivated over his prey. Of course, we gave him tachyon particles to eat instead, as Tovarisch Williams and I were ordered by Tovarisch Warner to take him down. We dutifully did so, within a few minutes. Tovarisch Williams landed the killing blow.
The return home was silent after that. All in all a good raid; we put one of Sirius' more notorious criminals out of his misery and swept up a Corsair pirate on the way back.
