Sirs,
I am extremely happy to report that this evening myself and my brother John were highly successful in thwarting a number of pirate raids in California and New York.
First, a Zoner gunboat was intercepted by myself and Kalan Yamoto of the LSF. The said Gunboat was transporting Nomads. The gunboat was ordered to drop them, which it did, and I blasted the beggers into hell. Kalan then told me of a mysterious aliment affecting him currently, I recommended he saw the LSF medics as soon as possible.
Next, a call came in from John to haul ass to the Magellan gate in Cali. A number of hackers and outcasts were attacking John and an indie Bounty hacker (also named John). I entered the fray and diverted one of the hacker's off John's tail. They then proceeded to flee and we stayed on the 'cast. A game of cat and mouse pursued as we attempted to down him. First he made a line for the gate, which was expertly blocked by Assault1 - Then he tried to escape via the Cortez hole - which again was expertly blocked by the bounty hunter. The 'cast was spaced by John's guns.
Lastly, on our way off shift and into the bar we encountered Admiral Malrone who was taking the Minneapolis to Pennsylvania. Assault1 made us aware that two rouges were on the lane towards the Missouri and were standing in the way of our drinks. Said rogues were ordered to release the pilots in their custody and pay a fine of 1million credits to cover the damage to the trade lane and miscellaneous costs involved in treating the said pilots. The fine was also to cover standing in the way of our drinks, this shall be denied if brought to public view as no such remarks were ever made to the rogues.. The pilots were released but the fine was not paid. As such, John and I engaged the rogue fighter and bomber, both of whom died very quickly.
As a side note, the said rogues were in civi ships, using outcast weaponry. Perhaps it is best to keep an eye on them both in the future.
