Captain Armanda Salinas sat in a corner booth at Pirate's Cove, a secret base where pirates from all walks of life gathered at peace, to get drunk and be merry. All misgivings were forgotten inside Pirate's Cove's docking gates.
A small crowd or Corsairs had gathered around Salinas,
"What the hell happened to your ship?!"
"I had a little run in with the 'law'. Some fool claiming to be a member of some mafioso family, another mercenary hired by a trader I had relieved of some cash earlier."
A large Corsair let out a laugh and smiled,
"Gave you a little trouble did they? Ha! Maybe you're losing your touch, Captian Salinas!"
The Captain looked back at the fellow Corsair and grinned,
"The next time you can dock your ship after a run in with a Liberty Cruiser and an Outcast Destroyer in the same patrol, let alone destroy the both of them, I'll eat my ship's transponder."
The large Corsair became instantly smaller,
"Y.. you took on a cruiser and a destroyer in a damn gunboat??!! And won????!!!! H.. How the HELL are you still alive??!!"
"Well, let's look at it this way, if I was as good at flying as you are, I wouldn't be."
"I don't believe you! You have no proof!"
"I'm afraid I do..."
Salinas pulled out her hand held Nav Computer,
"The Liberty Cruiser blew out of range of the onboard camera, but I think that the black box reading should suffice"

"I did manage to get a good shot of the Destroyer about the go down, though. Take a look for yourself"
[attachmentid=2426]
"Satisfied?"
"Err, I.. I need another drink. Excuse me, Captain."
The Corsair walked off towards the bar. Salinas sat wondering how far the rumours would spread...
