Today, I had intended to complete an anti-piracy patrol of Omega-3 and Omega-7, however circumstances forced a change of plans. As I was flying through Omega-5, I encountered a small group of Corsairs near Cadiz. Not wanting to fight outnumbered and with the base's guns on me, I continued to cruise, hoping one would pursue. No such luck. Once I reached a safe distance, I dropped out of cruise and attempted to provoke a confrontation. Two of the Corsairs flew away and the third docked. I think the Coalition's reputation had preceded me. The Comm log of the encounter is attached to this report.
Communications Log - LTCMDR Robert Thacker][21.11.2010 22:51:43] Alejandro.Hernandaz: Not your domain
[21.11.2010 22:51:52] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Sure it is!
[21.11.2010 22:51:56] J.P.: Excuse me?
[21.11.2010 22:54:21] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Not even an attempt to stop me, Corsair pig? I guess cowardice is in you blood.... A pity.[/quote]
Shortly after the cowards ran, someone asked for directions to Omega-52 over system chat. I warned them off, but someone else gave them the coordinates. Once I realized they meant to ignore me and go to 52 anyway, I turned around and went straight back to 52. I arrived before the intruder and was met by Commander Steele. When the intruder arrived, we gave him a very warm welcome. After a short engagement, he ran back to Omega-5, where he was engaged by the CPR Kerimov as well. He fell soon afterwards under the combined fire of myself, Commander Steele, and the Kerimov. Communication log follows.

[21.11.2010 22:55:57] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Bad idea, son.
[21.11.2010 22:56:21] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: You go there uninvited, and you -will- die.
[21.11.2010 22:57:21] Bedou1n: to o52?
[21.11.2010 22:57:38] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Yes. That's coalition space, and we don't like intruders.
[21.11.2010 22:57:59] Bedou1n: why is that?
[21.11.2010 22:58:25] Hand_Of_Liberty: its at 6d
[21.11.2010 22:58:43] Bedou1n: I'm just prospecting
[21.11.2010 22:58:50] Bedou1n: oh thanks
[21.11.2010 22:58:51] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Fine, come on in. We'll roll out the welcome mat..... [21.11.2010 23:00:03] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Potential intruder coming from Omega-5.
[21.11.2010 23:00:07] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Understood.
[21.11.2010 23:00:41] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: When he ignored my warnings to stay away, I told him we'd roll out the welcome mat.
[21.11.2010 23:00:48] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Good work.
[21.11.2010 23:00:53] SCRA|CPR-Kerimov: Hola.
[21.11.2010 23:00:59] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Right, he'll be dealt with should he show up.
[21.11.2010 23:01:06] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Does he know where the Jumphole is located?
[21.11.2010 23:01:21] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Priviet.
[21.11.2010 23:01:28] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Question Answered. [21.11.2010 23:01:44] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: Mistake coming here. Enjoy the fireworks.
[21.11.2010 23:01:47] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: You were warned to keep away. You're clear to fire Thacker.
[21.11.2010 23:05:15] SCRA|CPR-Kerimov: Attention unknown contact. This is Commander Brooks aboard the Kerimov. You have entered restricted space. Prepare to be destroyed. [21.11.2010 23:06:13] Death: Bedou1n was put out of action by SCRA|CPR-Kerimov (Gun). [21.11.2010 23:06:33] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Let this be a lesson. Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again.
[21.11.2010 23:06:37] SCRA|Robert,Thacker: I'd say we gave him a warm welcome, wouldn't you?
[21.11.2010 23:06:44] SCRA|Daemon.Steele.: Very warm.
As a side note, the one who gave Bedou1n the directions, Hand_Of_Liberty, is a Freelancer flying a Spatial, and has had dealings with the Corsairs, as I saw him undocking from Cadiz. If I may be so bold, I think he deserves a gift of hot plasma for getting involved in the situation.
I certify this report complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
