Good Evening Officers.

Approximately just after 1700 hours myself, Ensign Carrighan, headed out to investigate a supposed sighting of a Joker vessel who had been pirating near the Omega 3 jump gate. While looking for the vessel we encountered a police pilot by the name of Shawn Frankson who had been the one who first alerted us to the threat. The blighter must have jumped as we pulled up by the jump gate, since all scanners were clear at the gate. I was eager, considering our advantage to purse the Joker vessel through Omega 3 and out of Bretonia. However lacking the authority to move into the Omega 3 system I waited while a request was transmitted to my superiors. It must have been the nebulas interference since no response was given regarding our movements through Omega 3. Lacking this we were forced to wait behind the gate as our target got further and further from us, until he eventually made it out of Omega 3.

Since it appeared clear I decided to begin a patrol through to New London and onto Dublin. The intention was to then continue onto Leeds then make our way through a jump hole to Magellan and onto Manchester and then back to New London with the ships currently in our group.

This appeared to pose no issues to either pilots and so we began a rather quiet trip around Bretonia, the odd trader here and there, but none which held any contraband, or of a criminal standing. When we reached Leeds we encountered the Merchant Navy and began to discuss the situation in Leeds. From what we heard it appeared all was quiet, and so we decided that our time would be best served else where.

His ship suffering from some flight control issues Ensign Carrighan requested to dock up at Leeds so that the issue could be sorted out. Clearly an issue that could pose a risk I gave the Ensign permission to get the issues sorted out while myself and mister Frankson continued on our patrol.

Again it was quiet, all the way until we returned to New London, coming through Manchester our first approach was through Caterbury Station. On our arrival a pirate transport came into range, by the name of 'Miner|Drone'.

I was first interested in the ship because of its 'unique' image. Often a vessel used by pirates and smugglers I was cautious when dealing with the individual. To our surprise however our attempts at communicating with the ship came unheard as it refused to respond. While waiting for his response I became aware that this vessel was in fact listed as one involved in piracy which raised my concern that much more. After a good few minutes of attempting to gain contact with the drifting vessel I gave the order open fire.

To this the vessel came into action and responded by opening fire.A short fire fighting ensued, however the pilot appeared intent on 'jousting' my Challenger. One wish which I was only to happy oblige - since I was armed to the brim with Nova and was able to avoid his shots and send the odd nova his way.

A few minutes later the ship was on its hind legs and dashed towards the planet Dover in the attempt of a 'crash landing' most likely. Just in the nick of time I managed to shoot a Supernove in his direction, it connected the ship but to much surprise had not fully destroyed the vessel, held together with literally threads my own hull damaging guns were still recharging and so I was somewhat stuck. To much luck however Mister Frankson managed to get in a few well placed shots before it could breach the atmosphere and destroyed the blighter.
