Patrol: 7.0 Date: 21 April 822 AS Subject: We got trouble and lots of it Reporting Officer: Kyle Cosmo
So another laid back patrol through New York scanned a few cargo ships nothing to report there so moved on to Texas. While in the Texas system I was having a talk with a Junker when TLAGSNET lit up with the most interesting find yet two vessels tagged BDM| entered the Texas system I moved as quickly as I could to the jumpgate to try and locate them but unfortunately by the time I arrived they had already left the vicinity. I tried contacting other Liberty forces in the area to assist me in scanning the area for the two ships but none were available. Having to search on my own I scouted a couple of jump holes the one to Puerto Rico and the one to California but no sighting of the two ships so I headed back towards Planet Houston. Not sure what happened with the two ships I decided to head to the New York system to do a patrol making sure that no one capitalised on the fact that I was busy. While taking the trade lane to the New York Jump gate however my scanner picked up a LR (LR-Hamster.Torpedo.3) ship in the area so I left the lane and moved to engage. As I approached the rogue my scanner picked up another two readings surprise surprise it was the two BDM| ships(BDM|U-201 and BDM|-Ins.Hanz.v.Manich) . All three ships were within 2k of each other and seemed to be talking peacefully. I tried to question the BDM| ships as to what they were doing in Liberty but they didn't seem to want to answer my questions and looking at the ships one fighter and a gunship I realised I wasn't going to be able to force an answer out of them. The Rogue on the other hand seemed to have a few screws loose even more then a standard rogue as I believe they tried to ask me for funds I of course refused and threatened to arrest them if they didn't leave as I wanted to question the BDM|. Trust a rogue though the nutter figured it was a good a time as any to engage me, As I powered up weapons and moved to avoid the torpedo he launched at me, I do believe the BDM| began powering weapons to fire upon me as well. Odds were stacked against me but I fought hard but the rogue truly lost his mind he fired a torpedo at me when there was about 20 meters between us the lunatic destroyed both of our ships. Thankfully I was able to eject and was collect by a passing patrol a couple hours latter, I have a broken wrist but managed to save my ships scan images and comms log. The most troubling part about all this though was the fact it appeared as though the BDM| was working with the rogues, I've included all comms in my report and I suggest we alert the other Liberty Forces about this as this could mean trouble.
