Liberty Forces Message dump - Printable Version

What a furball. That patrol wasn't exactly enjoyable, day after day the odds push me to lock the avenger and keep the Chicago fully operational. California, once again. New York gate - Planet Mojave lane, once again. Trident Gunships, once again.

Flying from Norfolk to West Point, 2 hackers were trying to dispatch the trade lane, I gave them a clear warning to leave the area immediately, and both of them were lost in the Badlands. Then I heard a trader screaming at the public channel that a pirate was near the California gate in New York, I went there to check it out, and by the time I got there, the pirate jumped to California. I followed him, and took the trade lane to planet Mojave, which in the middle of this one, I found 2 hacker gunships and 2 sabres attacking a trader.
I felt sorry for that trader, but according to the Navy Officer Manual, which doesn't say anywhere that I should kill myself in any stupid action, I keeped my distance from the criminals, as I was outnumbered.

After 3 failures trying to get in touch with any Navy, LPI or LSF patrol in the secure channel, the hackers noticed my presence, and the gunships threating my life. Was then, when I got no choise but to get in the emergency channel, I sent one emergency call to get a bomber squad to assist me. At that point, I was being engaged by those Sabres, and soon as I started "sharing" shots with them, I saw a couple of razor shots passing before my eyes. They weren't going to let me get out alive.

The next thing I heard from the public channel, was a Liberty Navy Ship coming to assist me, followed by a Bretonian Gunship and our Commander Anderson in his Upholder. A little fresh air for me, the fire stop besieging me, and they focused on the LABC, which wasn't properly armored. We took down one gunship, and the another one almost got destroyed. But, we lost the battecruiser, and Ensign Willows showed up.

The second gunship got more shots, and blew up, same for the Bretonian one. With all the capital ships out, this fight should be getting on our side, but if I learned something from all my battles is that, you can find more pirates in liberty than freaks in a Medieval games convention. More pirates showed up, unfourtanely I can't be sure on how many, but 2 of them were those rookies I let escaped between Norfolk and West Point (which should be a lesson for all of us), as by the time being, a Gaian gunboat was close to our spot, and I don't know if it was attacking, assisting or anything else. But, we lost the Commander's upholder, which was replaced by Ensign Preager's Guardian. I think we took 2 or 3 hostiles down, Willows was forced to retreat, as his bomber was being fired by all of them, even then, he managed to destroy one of those Sabres.

Preager and I ended in a 2 vs 2 fight. But, somehow that I still wondering, they got re supplied by someone. I'm still looking for the lowlife who did it, he must prey to don't let me get him. My ship couldn't get more shots, and I was forced to eject from it. I believe Preager made it to get out of there safely.

I believe that's all.
