Good day sirs, Today is a grave day and one i shall mourn for a long time to come.

I started todays active duty flying in the Templar. One undocked from Essex and started my patrols. An S.O.S call was heard over the comms with a location so i headed off at full cruise only to find a fool in a transport with full mining lasers under attack from molly rookies. Suffice to say that microscopic incident was dealth with very quicky and after informing the transport to at least fit one normal laser i headed back to the essex.

Upon returning to the Essex a Zoner vessel S.E.F~Patrician was within the "no fly zone" around the essex (this is not my first dealings with this very argumentative and difficult pilot over this matter)

My attempts to move the ship along had no effect " i can be here when there is no trouble" was his words and he did not make any effort to obey my instructions... so i fired one volley into his shield. The man had the cheek to threaten me with destruction if this happened again...

Knowing full well that a templar was not going to be sufficiant in this situation i called in the Gunship Revenge.

The zoner craft was yes still inside the boundary of the Essex. Being a smart ensign and knowing full well what was to come from this encounter i ordered the recording of the communications.

Communication log 1
Communication log 2

Shortly after this i am forced to put warning shots into the shield of the zoner craft to show the BAF means buisness when it gives an order and is being refused. More conversation takes place.

This conversation was cut short by the arrival of a corsair gunboat 4 clicks off the essex who had apparently come to destroy the Revenge. Suffice it to say the gunboat was no match for The Revenge and that ship was quickly despatched back to the hole it came from. Apologies for lack of guncam shots but my cameras where damaged in the battle.

So... i return to the Essex and yes the zoner craft is STILL disobeying my orders and is STILL inside the no fly zone.
Once again i engage in conversation with the pilot when the HMS~Archangel shows up. It is about this point the zoner showed his true colours, Making what can only be described as a monumental communications error. The man claimed it was to call a wing of his for a escort .. im sure you can see from the intercepted signal this is not the case. He clearly states " HE is hiding at the essex like a coward" i see no mention of himself sirs only myself.

Strange how the pilot of the Archangel "missed" that sirs. Maybe the man should not be in charge of such a expensive piece of miltary hardware.

Now sirs it gets tricky as you can see from the recordings. Personally i think the corsair was called in by the Patrician ( but it is not my place to surmise ) But i do know the pilot of the archangel acted in a manner unbeffitting an officer of the crown and opened fire on The Revenge with no evidence or a bloody clue what was going on !

Sadly under fire from mortars and cruiser guns AND the patrician The Revenge and her crew were lost. It is a sad day indeed when an Ensign can not go about his duties without getting shot by his own forces.

Revenge Down

..... Shocking sirs ..... i am truly sorry to have to write this report.
