A couple of events happened today. I'll start at the beginning of my day shift where I encountered a mix of the Hellfire legion and SCRA forces. Lt. Rohj Teerin was already engaged in the California system with these forces and I gave him aid, making me score a direct hit on one of their fighters.

When I returned to New York after the first incursion I ran into a Outcast who was going by the name "Tachyon" was executed at the California Gate in New York when he failed to accomplish simple orders to nuke himself.

Second part my patrol involved some bigger vessels. After getting the word of a Police officer that a Outcast Carrier (Carrier.Kalinderu) had been sighted in the region around Norfolk I moved to check this out and informed the bigger assets of the Navy. Several vessels grouped up and made a interception on this Carrier who was already engaged with one of our Liberty Dreadnoughts. A bomber wing was helping out the hostile carrier to take down our vessel.

The dreadnought was saved and it managed to reach port without too much heavy damage. The Carrier had jumped out after supplying its bombers with decent supplies to keep us busy with. When the Carrier returned we managed to lay down a heavy barrage and caught the vessel exploding right in a second jump which it failed to complete.

After completing the Carrier threat, a Order patrol vessel ran by at high speeds, who was heading for the Alaska jump gate. An interception of this vessel failed but we did manage to catch the name of the Pilot. The ship being a Guardian by the way and it was flown by our ex LSF director Anna Brown.

It's been quiet a day again. I've picked up an Upholder Bomber from Battleship James, it seems to be quite a decent craft. But for some reason it doesn't come even close to the Nanda Devi I've used to fly in. Which was heavier but still easier to manage against smaller targets. Never the less I think the Upholder still does a good job.

Ran the normal patrols with the Upholder across the lanes of New York, once at Norfolk I got my first contact, which was a Nomad organism. A local LSF vessel was assigned to take it down and I observed together with a few other officers at the scene. However when the LSF agent didn't seem to manage the bug, I head to get back to base and rush myself into my Avenger. After a brief fight and later on chase the bug managed to run into its own explosives.

On a side note, an Order agent was at the scene but his interest was only with the Nomad, so I let him go since I didn't see him do any harm. This decision was mainly made to keep the officers who were dealing with the Nomad out of harms way. Since I don't like things to get chaotic. Terrance Chamberlain was the Order pilot's name.

With the Upholder I continued my patrol and once in California another red target, at first it was a Outcast gunboat which was soon followed by a Destroyer. I called in one of the Dreadnoughts that was around, the Arrogance. Together with the support of him, a Bounty hunter gunboat and me in the Upholder we managed to take down two Outcast Destroyers and one gunboat in California.

---

On my way back I ran into a local pirate. Cutlass bomber, stock equipment. He didn't dare to touch a trader that was passing as the Dreadnought and the Bounty Hunter were also still around. The pirate tried to bail, but I caught up with him and eventually took him down.

---

After that I returned to New York where I found two hunters and a Navy vessel fighting some Outcast Fighter who belongs to their 'Extreme Fighters' party, also known as XTF. He managed to cruise of however as the hunters were equipped with Razors rather that disruptors. Lucky me however that I found him a while later and successfully made an interception. Moments later his ship was disabled.

With that I completed my trip for today and now I'm off to find me a bar and relax.
