Bounty hunter Tripitz was spotted in Gamma today in orbit around Crete. I deployed with bomber and began an assault on his destroyer. Smiggle joined in the assault. We were doing some damage, but not enough to greatly impact the destroyer. As we dodged missiles and return fired member of RAB appeared on our short range scanners.
"Would you like some help?" This from the pilots of the RAB ships.
"Yes," came the reply from another friend of the Corsairs who was disabled and no longer in the fight.
Wtih the assistance of the RAB the enemy was eradicated from Corsair space.
I would like to offer my personal thanks to the RAB in this circumstance.
After the battle Smiggle began ordering RAB to leave Gamma. The RAB declared they were welcome by the Elders, but after further argument Smiggle opened fire and destroyed one of the RAB vessels.
When the argument began I said I was checking our current list of allies and determined that RAB would not open fire if they were allies of the Corsairs. Afterall, they had just assisted us with the bounty hunter. However, before I could access the central computer on Crete and retrieve the information Smiggle had opened fire. Apparently with all the chatter Smiggle had not heard my broadcast.
I apologize for not having completely learned the current list of allies and their affiliations. I have grounded myself until I have memorized this information. Also, I submit myself for reprimand since I did not act quickly enough to defuse the situation.
