Combat Report:
Hectic day in Tau 23 and 37, with some new developments towards the LaSensual situation. Seems the lonely podsurfer finally found some friends. Sad they bit the dust at exactly the moment they thought they had won. Sad, sad, sad.
But let's start from the beginning:
I was on patrol duty when an Outcast Gunboat named "Wabisuke" came close. I engaged on my own, knowing that the Bounty Hunter Cruiser Auction Time was on duty, too. The Commander arrived and executed the Gunboat with a dual Light Mortar hit. It just tore the thing apart like a canopener opens a... guess what... can. It happened too fast to get the guncam ready.
IMG Defense was called in because a Titanic class transport was under attack by an OC bomber, named "Forcehammer". The engagement by me and an IMG Spatial forced him to break off the attack. He wanted to destroy the slow Spatial, but I sank a Snac into his rear. Dealt with.
During that fight, "LaSensual" was reported and engaged by the Hunter Cruiser. LaSensual ran to Tau 37 after he was refilled by the Gallic Junker vessel named "Gaylord.Pascal", as the hunter reported to me. When I tried to follow to Tau 37, the Gallic Junker started to try to intercept me with Cruise Disruptors, but failed in the dense fields. I started to question him and he kept denying everything. He was lying, as the later Tau 37 situation will prove.
I could not prove that he was actually helping and the hunter was not 100 percent sure, so I let him go after I gave him a stern telling off.

[29.03.2012 17:21:19] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And I heard what you did to the OC
[29.03.2012 17:21:39] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: You refilled LaSensual.
[29.03.2012 17:21:43] 2012-03-29 17:21:54 SMT
[29.03.2012 17:21:43] Gaylord.Pascal: no
[29.03.2012 17:21:55] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And you fired Interceptors at me
[29.03.2012 17:21:58] Gaylord.Pascal: 400/400 dork
[29.03.2012 17:22:03] Gaylord.Pascal: misfire
[29.03.2012 17:22:06] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: You replenished them
[29.03.2012 17:22:10] Gaylord.Pascal: no
[29.03.2012 17:22:15] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: Oh yes, you did.
[29.03.2012 17:22:24] Gaylord.Pascal: can you prove it?
[29.03.2012 17:22:30] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: I don't need. I will just roast you? How do you like that?
[29.03.2012 17:22:47] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: After I tell you what to do
[29.03.2012 17:22:54] Gaylord.Pascal: you seem to be stupid trigger happy idiot
[29.03.2012 17:23:06] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: Oh, I am not. But I know you are cooperating with LaSensual
[29.03.2012 17:23:21] Gaylord.Pascal: how do you know that? first time i am here
[29.03.2012 17:23:24] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And you have been assisting him in operations against the IMG. I am in a comm cuircuit with the Hunter
[29.03.2012 17:23:37] Gaylord.Pascal: assisting? are u being serious?
[29.03.2012 17:23:46] Gaylord.Pascal: i watched the fight just
[29.03.2012 17:23:49] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And you fired at me to keep me from closing in on the LaSensual hunt in T37
[29.03.2012 17:24:03] Gaylord.Pascal: isn't the BC enough then?
[29.03.2012 17:24:12] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: That is not for you to decide
[29.03.2012 17:24:19] Gaylord.Pascal: apparently
[29.03.2012 17:24:25] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: So... I do not want you on Java, nor on any other Tauside base.
[29.03.2012 17:24:34] Gaylord.Pascal: too late i guess
[29.03.2012 17:24:48] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And if I see you again in the close vicinity of LaSensual, you will be branded as an enemy to the IMG.
[29.03.2012 17:25:03] Gaylord.Pascal: ok
[29.03.2012 17:25:17] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: I hereby also ban you from accessing the IMG mining areas, closer than 20 k.
[29.03.2012 17:25:21] Gaylord.Pascal: mad littel bomber pilot haha
[29.03.2012 17:25:26] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: If you are seen in there, we have to assume hostile intentions. And you will be fired on, too.
[29.03.2012 17:25:44] Gaylord.Pascal: good for you
[29.03.2012 17:25:57] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And if you think you can be a smart-boy here, then you will learn that I am not joking and that a little Junker is not worth it. Because what People like you do is smuggle Cardamine ad Slaves for the Outcast
[29.03.2012 17:26:46] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: And I am completely sure you are one of these scumbags.
During that talk, the Hunter reported that a Junker Salvager named "boeing" had opened fire on him. With a Gallic Junker suspected of helping LaSensual, and now another Junker attacking the Cruiser together with LaSensual, I decided to break off the talk with Gaylord and headed to Tau 37. Guess what? Gaylord of course followed.
I engaged LaSensual, but the Cruiser was heavily damaged and taken out near the Freeport. That's when they all jumped on me. All the Junkers, and LaSensual. An XTF bomber "[XTF]-Jose.Contador" and another Outcast "MoRRaz_7" also came in and I retreated under the most heavy fire I have ever come under to Tau 23. I could have sworn I was hit by a snac, but the ship held together, miraculaously.
I gleaned interesting talk at the moment when they thought they had won and I would be dealt with easily.
Quote:[29.03.2012 17:29:53] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: I will attack in defense of the Hunter who defends IMG against LaSensual. All enemies of him are mine
[29.03.2012 17:32:49] Gaylord.Pascal: xtf, you can engage
[29.03.2012 17:33:20] [XTF]-Jose.Contador: Exactly what i was going to do
[29.03.2012 17:34:02] Gaylord.Pascal: *Drops the Mutusha card*
<< The Bounty hunter cruiser explodes >>
[29.03.2012 17:34:22] Gaylord.Pascal: what were you saying about assisting La Sensual?
[29.03.2012 17:34:41] boeing: who?
[29.03.2012 17:34:54] Gaylord.Pascal: img trying to kill you
[29.03.2012 17:34:56] Gaylord.Pascal: shoot him!
[29.03.2012 17:35:10] La.Sensual: hey brigid come here sweatheart
[29.03.2012 17:35:55] Gaylord.Pascal: brigid, need nanos?
[29.03.2012 17:36:06] Gaylord.Pascal: Oh wait, I already gave my to La Sensual
[29.03.2012 17:36:09] MoRRaZ_7: Well well well
[29.03.2012 17:36:09] Gaylord.Pascal: As you said
I think... this "Gaylord.Pascal: *Drops the Mutusha card*" says it all. Stupid thing if you uncover your face too early, thinking you would have won already.
I made it to Tau 23 and reinforcements already were waiting. Lost Star and IMG| Defense were brutally effective again and wiped the floor with what jumped after me.
Quote:[29.03.2012 17:39:17] IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy.: All Junkers (meaning: those that came through in chase of me) are enemies
[29.03.2012 17:39:21] Harvester.|*: Copy that.
[29.03.2012 17:39:22] Tavish,Degroot.|*: Oh boy. Tau 23 needs to be cleaned again.
42 seconds later, the Junker Frigate "boeing" was destroyed that just had pushed too hard to score on me.
I received regens by the Annapurna IMG|Collecteur[R] at Java and dived back into the fray.
LaSensual ran to... you guess it... Freeport 10. An Outcast gunboat named "Logistics" tried to assist him and was burnt fast by the retaliation force.
LaSensual, little crying baby docked with a few snacs in his sore bum.
I put the bomber in the repair docks, where it will spend some time. But it was worth it.
I would like to say a big thank you to the boys and girls of the Lost Star that were already waiting in battle formation when my ship came in hot. 42 seconds until the enemy was fleeing and one of them exploded is damn good. Thank you also to the IMG| that scrambled that fast. You guys saved my ass out there.
O'Shaunessy, signing off for a hot bath.
