-----DECRYPTING-----
Bandit Duena Reyes reporting in from my first field mission with the raiders.
Met up with Xavier Fierceshot in Manchester, between Birmingham and the New London gate, we sat and watched the lanes for a bit. t'was mostly quiet, and we were heading out to New London when a notable transport came through. We chased him back to Birmingham, where he escaped.
Proceeding to New London, and perched around the Southampton to Leeds Gate lane, three notable ships came through. The first was a small freighter, who got away, and the second, a Liberty Mammoth "eXe", who refused to stop, and so was destroyed.
The third was a Bretonian Armed Forces Gunboat, "[BOB]Jake.Aylock" with which Xavier proceeded to taunt the captain of. We were preparing to make under-way to leave due to the unfavourable odds should a fight ensue, when an Outcast named Diego Guillermo, "Diego.Guillermo", showed up as backup for the now-inevitable fight. Sure enough, a fight kicked off, and it got rather ugly. At one point with my shields down, my ship was saved from one of the Gunboat's missiles by an unlucky Molly local, who (presumably unintentionally) took the shot and was destroyed. Shortly after, the fight had moved to the edge of the Somerset Asteroid field, and the Gunboat was finally destroyed with all hands. A primary turret was recovered, and Diego took it as payment for assistance rendered, by Xavier's suggestion.
We then headed back to Alcatraz, an uneventful trip, but on arriving, Xavier mentioned his scanners detected an SCRA craft. My ship was to damaged to go searching, so I docked for much needed repairs and got myself a fix from the Rouges in the bar. I can't speculate as to what Xavier did or didn't do with said Commie, so I'll not report anything on the matter.
