My patrol began at West Point, where I embarked on a routine inspection route. I headed towards Norfolk Shipyard, after which, I inspected the Texas gate area. Devoid of suspicious activity, I continued my route. Baltimore Shipyard and subsequently the Colorado jumpgate showed no signs of unlawful activity. I turned around, reversing my prior route.
As I approached West Point, my ship's sensors detected an incoming vessel with the callsign "Jhine." Shortly after, another Rogue bomber, using the callsign "RB-Veggie", entered the area. The Rogue vessels initiated communication, transmitting a demand for 20,000 credits. The message was clear: pay up, or face consequences. A firm refusal to yield to that attempt at extortion, the tension escalated rapidly.
Due to my refusal to entertain their shakedown, the Rogues wasted no time in initiating combat. At first, only one of the two broadswords engaged me, however, as our duel continued, "Jhine" began assisting his wingman. Both of the Rogue bombers were eliminated and I stopped my patrol shortly after as my defender suffered some integral damage.
That concludes my report of a successful combat patrol.
