From: Recruit officer Douglas Harper. To: LPI Terminal. Topic: Patrol Report
What a day... the moment I undocked my libbie from Fort Bush for a patrol, I received a message from a bunch of officers requestin' backup in Colorado. Seemed like such a bother they even called for a SWAT gunboat, eh? Well, I followed the Atwater to the scene, where we were facin' a rogue gunboat with some heavy armor, and a freighter. We were told to split up to take on both of 'em at once, and somehow, the other group managed to let that freighter slip away while I was pinnin' down the gunboat for the Atwater... They'll blame it on their disruptors, no doubt. I guess they gave up chasing it when they saw what speed that freighter cruised off with, and came back to help us finish the gunboat instead.

When we arrived back at Fort Bush and most of our team landed for repairs, one of these Reavers turned up. Sergeant Aryn, who was pilotin' the Atwater at the time, decided to let me fight that loony alone. I bet he expected me to come back in a pod, I'm damn sure he did. He took care of it himself later, but we'll get to that. I kicked that Reaver right in the nuts! So to speak, at least... I would like to mention at this point I was promised a raise for takin' down that muppet. Okay? Good! The rent doesn't pay for itself.

We followed reports of a Corsair at the Penny gate shortly after, and we did find him - the bastard was sittin' right at West Point. He was already in an argument with some Navy pilot called Thor's-hammer, so we decided to let that guy take care of the situation, for the moment... It took a while of the two of 'em flying in circles until the corsair started runnin' and Officer Reynolds decided to step in and take care of him.
Meanwhile, Officer Aryn and captain uh... Polstari were fining some gaul in a transport at Manhattan that had already pissed off me and Officer Frost a while ago. Smugglin', ignoring orders and assault, does that sound like a list? I'm not sure how they ended up handling the situation, I wasn't there, but I sure hope they didn't go easy on him. I'd been called back to West Point to keep the corsair pinned down, 'cause officer Reynolds ran out of disruptor ammunition. With a little fire support, he eventually took the bugger down on his way to the Cali gate.

And... that's where things got a lil' bit ugly. Three Outcasts showed up, [XTF]Sloth[R], [XTF]Venganza~[E] and [XTF]Shoot'Em.Up[R], along with Titanium.Reaver, who, after some, uh... negotiation, eventually ended up helpin' out those sniffers for 2 million credits, even though we offered her five doughnuts!
I'm not quite sure what happened after that genius sarge' Aryn ripped my ship in half with a well placed nuke, but I hear our team got wrecked pretty bad. Even with the backup we called in. Well, Buck got us home alive, so that's a winner right there, I s'pose.

Just to have it mentioned. That dunce not only owes me a raise, but also a coupon for Sunbucks.
