Recruit Le pretty much covered the events in Texas. I will say that we -are- equipped to handle the situation. Those Cartel boys aren't very good pilots and our Liberators are perfect to combat their bombers. One other thing to report. We encountered a new Outcast Gunship in Texas with the callsign "Mario.Bertro". He initially surrendered to us but later tried to escape and was promptly destroyed. Later, we ran into him in California and took him down...again.
Just want to add another arrest I made. I ran into a couple of Outcasts along the Manhattan-Ft Bush lane and had to move off because I was outgunned. Later they ambushed Officer Lindberg and disabled his ship. One thing I don't like are Gunships that like to shoot up Liberators. I then headed back to confront them. Luck for me the Gunship decided to hold back and sent the bomber after me. The bomber made the mistake of trying to turn with my ship and I took him down fast.
Patrol Report: Recruit Officer Steven Le
Date: 06-25-817
Today's patrol was less than successful. It started when we stopped a Bounty Hunter that was completely oblivious of the laws against Nomads, and it took quite a bit of explaining before I could get him to give up his contraband.
I then spotted a suspicious ship and pursued him asking him to stop for a cargo scan. He turned on his cruise engines and taunted, "Row row, to fight the power!" LNS-Atlanta moved into to intercept him when he flew into Zone 21 and I was given permission to assist in the chase. However, once the chase was brought into Alaska, LNS-Atlanta called the chase off. Apparently whatever was deep in the system was not for my eyes, so we turned back and left.
I was then subjected to another patrol with Sergeant Joe Smith. The sound of his bellowing voice shouting, "LEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" sent shivers down my spine. Operating at Fort Bush we began collecting fines from people with broken tail lights until we received a tip that there was a smuggler moving in from California. Smith, Sentinel 101, and I quickly moved to the scene and began obsessively scanning all vessels coming out of the jump gate. Suddenly, we got radio chatter from a smuggler docking in Manhattan that he was selling off his artifacts.
It was a fake tip, a decoy and the smuggler was able to sell his artifacts off.
Details of our pursuit of the fake tipper will be covered when I finish writing the case file for it.

This report details two eventful days of patrols in my new Patriot. The first began with a call for help in Texas along the trade lane to Planet Houston where some of my fellow officers and Liberty Navy were busy engaging Cartel members and other unlawful pirates unwilling to leave. I made my way to assist them as best I could. Each successive target fell with little effort and we came out victorious.
Following the event, I moved to patrol Pennsylvania area and encountered a Nomad sitting next to the Gate named Vesuvius that seemed to be disabled. I gave warning and eventually opened fire and destroyed the Nomad Morph.
I first made contact with them as I traversed the lane between Fort Bush and Norfolk, but they moved to the Pittsburgh debris field. I patrolled back and fourth along the outskirts of the field to ensure that they remained within. After some time, I lost contact with them on my scanners and moved towards the Fort Bush to Planet Pittsburgh trade lane, assuming that they had gone in that direction. Instead, I found a lone Rogue piloting a Barghest sitting in the lane. After a small exchange and some threats from me, she agreed to leave. A good thing, she wouldn't have stood a chance against my Patriot.
It's been a day of ups and downs. I began my shift with a training session including the Chief, Sgt. Smith, Officer Le, and myself. We were interrupted by reports of a large Xeno force near Ft. Bush. We headed on over and engaged the terrorists. The fight was short for me, as I was hit by friendly fire. I piloted my pod back to Bush and spent the next few hours in medical. A little later I decided to take my bomber out for a spin, seeing as I was waiting on a replacement Liberator. Not long into my patrol I ran up on an artifact smuggler by the name of -[SC]-Ezekiel-[T]. I ordered him to stop but he replied "ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH". Seeing that he had no intention of stopping I opened fire and destroyed his ship.

Granted Outfit an eagle for a SWAT fighter and start out with a Havoc MK II or a Roc bomber... the upholders are getting harder to get due to the war.

Ok, I just know there are some more officers out there that want to get into a Eagle fighter and just spank some bad guys.... so lets start seeing the apps. If you have been a regular officer more than 2 weeks, you are eligible. Just post here in the dump that you want to be in SWAT, and we will make it so.
