Log Book
Subject: Nikolai Sidorov First Entry: 22nd of March, 818 A.S
This is Nikolai Sidorov, Im a pilot for the Order. This Log Book serves to document by adventures across Sirius. Maybe Ill sell it, after I retire myself from flying.
Today I received confirmation that my application for the Order primary fleet had been accepted, but the paperwork would still take a while to process, and that it would take a while for me to start flying as an official Order Ensign.
I also had my first battle against the Bounty Hunters. Two of them came to Minor and engaged us. My ship targeting systems were damaged on a mission for the Order, right before the Bounty Hunter battle. Most of my torpedoes missed the Bounty Hunter gunboat, but in the end, he ran away, haha. But not all of us got away from the attack. Lt. Orleys gunboat was destroyed in the attack. Luckily, he managed to eject before the ship exploded.
After the battle, Alan and I docked in Toledo to repair the targeting system. Luckily, Alan knows the targeting system better than anyone, and was able to repair it and calibrate it alone, while I was at the bar, drinking, soda.
After that we --
-Hey Nikolai, where did you put the new frying pan I bought?
-What? Alan? Huh, not now ok? Im *writing* the log book.
-But Im hungry!
-Argh Computer Pause--
...
-Computer Resume.
After that we helped some new recruits with their standing within the Order. I was also helped by other Agents in my time, so I thought I should repay the favor. We then proceeded to the bar in Toledo, to join other Order agents.
Ah, today I had one of the most intense fights of my life. Three pirates came into Minor. All three flying the Sabre ship.
My Lieutenant told me to stay back, as he had already ran into these pirates once, and told me they were no match for me. I told him that we could take them down, after all, we outnumbered them by a lot. Even so, the Lieutenant told us to stay back. When one of us charged against them, we felt the need of helping him. Little did we know that charging them would be a great mistake. I had never seen a ship flying like that. Those pirates were, amazing.
After my ship was badly damaged, I had to back out of the battle, leaving it to my comrades. The Lieutenant ordered all Order ships to back out after a while longer, as that was a clearly win for the pirates.
We lost four ships on that fight. Thankfully, no man was killed, as all of them managed to safely eject.
Today I also note the purchase of our second ship. Alan and I talked about it and decided to buy a Nephthys. After all, a bomber was no match to those pirate fighters, so we wanted to make sure the next time we meet them, we have a chance, even if little.
