Good Afternoon Officers,

Earlier today I was preforming some combat practises with Lieutenant Bloom, and Ensign Smith when we received a message from a fighter named John Atwood concerning a Zoner gunboat supposedly it was carrying alien fighter remains.
From what we knew mister Atwood was a member secondary fleet.

Bloom then the gave order to mister Astwood too intercept the gunboat. I considered this to be a bit of a rash decision since, encase the vessel should turn hostile then the fighter, mister Astwood, would be out gunned. Especially considering the ship was from the secondary fleet which gave me more reason to tread with caution. The ensign at that time was currently unattached and so i ordered him to monitor the situation, the ensign seemed more than willing to lend a hand and sped off towards the last known location of the gunboat.

As Bloom and i were packing up we received a transmission from Ensign Smith claiming that mister Atwood had opened fire on his vessel and destroyed his fighter. Bloom and myself made our way out of Salisbury, quickly, and onto the Southampton shipyard, the last known location of the Ensigns ship.

As we entered scanner range we noticed mister Atwood still at the scene and immediately halted him. We attempted to question him however he did not replie. Our intention was to cripple his ship and collect his pod for a court marshal. However Lieutenant Bloom believed that we could take his ship to New London while intact. I decided to leave the decision with Bloom, and he - along with the Ensign surrounded the fighter.

According to Lieutenant Bloom the ship fired up a blare of countermeasures and managed to break away from both of the ships. In response myself, Lieutenant Bloom and Ensign Smith sped off after him in pursuit.

Realising this chase could be a long one I instructed Ensign Smith to inform the officials at Southampton regarding our pursuit. While myself and Bloom continued on against the rogue pilot.

We followed the pilot for a good twenty minutes, leaving charted space behind us. However no matter the time needed our persistence kept us going. Eventually we got close enough that Cruise disruptors were 'just' in range. Knowing this Bloom suggested that he attempt to fire a salvo off and see if he could stop the pilot in his tracks while i continued to cruise behind him encase they should fail.

To our good fortune the disruptors hit and mister Atwood's flight was interrupted. Using this opportunity we opened fire immediately and a fire fight was under way. Although he did attempt to cruise away a few times I still had my full salvo of missiles ready, and Bloom still have a few of his own left as well.

During the fire fight Lieutenant Bloom's ship was unfortunately destroyed by the rogue pilot - thankfully however his pod was jettisoned just before impact. The pilot then turned on myself, however he found me to much to handle and as i was gaining the upper hand in the fight his ship managed to use some sort of cloaking technology to escape.

Clearly the coward lacked to the stomach to face his own fate however I was able to rescue Lieutenant Bloom's pod and made my way back to Southampton - where i am currently writing this report.
