Brief report/outline of your patrol: First, I am pleased to announce the commissioning of the LPS-Police.Brutality. It is a Gunboat Class Vessel in the Secondary Fleet. Today, I brought it out on a shake-down cruise and boy, was I pleasantly surprised. At first, thing's did not go well. However, I managed to convince the OSI Leader to sell me seven of the Zoner's finest Turrets, and boy, are they beauties.

I caught the first Tridente trying to commit some piracy near a lane. I tried talking to him, but he opened fire. I was forced to defend myself, and I'm pleased to say that the Brutality proved itself.

Next up was a known vessel "Core.Deep_Blue". As expected it tried to attack me, but it didn't realize, that was what I wanted. You see, I had contacted a Carrier Captain, and he agreed to assist me. We lured it into a trap using the Brutality as bait, and he was promptly annihilated by the Carrier's superior weaponry.

Next up, I was returning home from Cortez, when I spotted a suspicious vessel. Sure enough, it turned out to be a Slaver. It was a delicate situation, and the only compromise I could reach in order to get the Slaves out safely was to let him go once he released the Slaves. I contacted a Mastadon Captain and we liberated them on Pennsylvania.

However, on the way there, we encountered another Tridente, which was promptly destroyed. Then, we found it. None other then the infamous Ven'Gyr around Fort Bush. When I arrived, it had just finished crippling a Battle Cruiser. I enlisted the aid of an Orca Gunboat, and called for assistance to which a Dreadnought responded. We made slow progress, until the Dreadnought arrived. Unfortunately, it was critically damaged, but it managed to take down a large enough chunk out of the Ven'Gyr, so slowly but surely myself and the Orca withered away the Ven'Gyr's armour, and finally managed to cripple it. I have no doubt it'll be back, however. It always comes back.

Finally, I was contacted by a BPA) Officer who was in Liberty yesterday with a convoy of Prisoners. He asked me to escort him out, which I did. On the way there, however, we encountered two pirates. A Roc Bomber, and a Gunboat. Naturally, I called for back-up and was joined by the Orca. We engaged the Gunboat, since it was too big a threat to let loose, and the Roc came back to assist, but ultimately only managed to scratch my shields before we brought done the Gunboat. The Roc managed to escape.

That concludes this report.
