Did a patrol of California, Ontario, Pennsylvania and New York today. I started my patrol at Mojave Station, and
went to the Magellan Jump gate, and then into Ontario where I had a quick look. I then headed back towards
New York, receiving a call for assistance at the New York jump gate from a Gunboat. When I arrived, however,
I determined that I'd be quite severely outgunned and decided to head trough to New York to get reinforcements.

When I arrived there I went straight to Pennsylvania and did a loop, going first to Bethlehem and then to Erie.
There was nothing there except the usual miners, so I headed back out, where I met a Freelancer named Sky.Blue,
which I had already had a brief encounter with some days ago fighting the Junker gunboat Bad.Dog. I, clever
as I am, managed to mix the two up however and told him to "not try anything stupid" and that "I'd be watching
him". Oops. I later apologized to him and we, plus Captain Joe Smith, who joined us and Manhattan, stopped
for a little chat, until an artifact smuggler named "Christopher Hunnicut" in a Borderworlds Transport showed
up and ran for the mooring fixture. He unfortunately managed to dock and escape to sell his cargo before I
managed to stop him. In the middle of all this Joe experienced an equipment failure on his ship, so I and
the Freelancer were alone against the smuggler. When he docked he ran for the trade lane, and docked
just as we disrupted the lane behind him. Damn.

Well. As the smuggler fled a new contact closed in on scanners, a Lane Hacker named "Sybreed". We
met up with him at the lane, offering him a chance to move away from the lane and avoid any trouble.
He didn't formally take our offer, but at least he fled away from us when a Dreadnought patrol showed up.
I and Blue took the lane to Fort Bush, where I left him and ended my patrol.
