I undocked from Battleship Missouri and was immedietly contacted by Admiral Malrone. It turned out that we had quite a big Naval patrol, and I was called to the California system to dispatch of a few undesirable hackers. What supposed to be a walk in the park turned out to be a full system shutdown, firefights with multiple contacts, and a battle with a nomad gunship.
I was dispatched to Magellan to join Admiral Malrone’s battlegroup. I first Rved at the Cortez Gate and was on call to blockade the gate. Just our luck when A Smuggler turned up with a hull full of counterfeit software. Man was it is crapload of stuff. We proceded to force him to drop it. However in the mist of the shuffle the infamous criminal known as Phate jumped in. Immedietly we were told to engage. While we were in a brief state of disorganization the smuggler thought it was a smart idea to make a break for it, well it was the last decision he made, as we chased him down to cortez and blew him up. Phate jumped to Cortez as well, with me and another ensign hot on his tail. He put us through a chase all the way to Magellen where he jumped into a weird aurora, it was like he disappeared, and his id went off my scanner. I Returned to the FP to RV with the battlegroup and we dispatched of yet another hacker. Seeing the number of criminals, Admiral Malrone ordered a complete lockdown of Magellen, we had separate battlegroups guard every known exit and entrance in Magellen, for a while things turned out well, some traders passed in and out, all was well for a couple of minutes…
Until they showed up….
We felt a disturbance and it was instantly known that there was a nomad in the area. The Admiral ordered us to search and dispatch of the nomad, when I reached the FP I saw nothing else other than a nomad gunship. Wasting no time, our forces converged on the Gunship, disrupted it in the icefields, and promptly took it out. After we took care of the situation we went back to our posts. A patrol squadron found another hacker and attempted to dispatch of it. The hacker tried to escape to jump back to California so I was ordered to jump through the cali gate to meet him on the other side. And then something strange happened, during midjump my ship malfunctioned,…. Or the jumpgate really, and it landed me right back to battleship Missouri, it was pretty freaky and weird at the same time, I suggest we checked out that gate.
Since I was a long way from the border, and the naval forces had it on locked, I decided to sign off of duty for some R&R.
