Sirs, Ma'ams.
[color=#CCCCCC]Turns out Battlecruisers aren't the best possible way start to start my day.
Manhattan orbital scanners reported an IMG Battlecruiser in low orbit [Scan retrieved at a later time]. The Captain ignored orders to halt, and proceeded to enter the West Point trade lane. I pursued, and caught the ship in the Pennslyvania field, at which point he finally complied with directives to stop. At a guess, I'd say his ship couldn't handle the asteroids at that speed.
Turned out I was talking to the X.O, with the head Captain taking a nice little nap in his stateroom. Shame there isn't a law against that. The X.O claimed she had no idea where she was, and that the ship had been tasked on a mining mission based from Denver under the clearance of Lt. Aleesha Cooper. If that is true Ma'am, let me know.
The Captain insisted that he was headed for a jump hole that would take him out of Liberty space, and I agreed to let him lead the way to it. Whatever that thing was, it wasn't a jump hole. Some sort of installation, definitely hostile, seeing as it opened up on me. Around there, I directed the Captain of the 'mining' ship to have the X.O tossed in the brig, which he did. However; he did seem to believe violence against her was also a valid option. LPI'd have a field day with this guy.
From there, I radioed the Captain of the LNS-Mr.Good to provide a heavy escort from Pennslyvania to Magellan, which he did. En-route, the Battlecruiser rammed [or was rammed by, it was tough to tell] another Siege Cruiser [Name unrecorded. Crew still undergoing training.], losing power to his port wing. With assistance from the Yukon he was able to get the situation under control long enough to reach the Magellan gate.
Once our escort departed, the Miner let slip mention of Alaska. Not much I could do about it at that point, but as soon as the paperwork comes through, I'll send charges.
