Started my patrol from Adirondack. Shortly after undocking I came across another one of the Congress Arbiter's transports. Nothing unusual to report the ship was moving Copper ore to Denver. I inquired if he would be willing to bring in some more supplies for our station. He quickly accepted and later I confirmed the ship did drop off a load of Reinforced alloys there. Communication transmissions documented and attached below. File attachment Moments after my meeting with the Junker I picked up a reading over TLAGSNET about a fighter carrying Liberty Police pilots. The callsign was Scotia which is closely familiar to the already wanted FL-Scotia.
Scanner indicated he was heading to Texas so I headed there in pursuit finding Scotia near Houston.
I called it in once I had intercepted the ship and found he was in fact carrying Liberty Police pilots along with several Xenos.
Scotia attempted to flee from me at this time but back up arrived as David Anderson another rookie officer arrived on the scene. He was disrupted and I proceeded to question him. Not long after LPI Chief Valent arrived for additional support.
Scotia at first seemed compliant even handing over the LPI pilots but then refused to turn over the xenos. Repeated requests were ignored and he stated we would need to destroy him to get the terrorists. Shots were fired and it was clear my ship wasn't fully equipped at this time to be effective. Also my being away for so long seems my dogfighting skills just weren't as sharp as they once were. Sadly to report my ship was destroyed but luckily Chief Valent was able to rescue my escape pod. Unfortunately his bomber did not have the cargo capacity to save the other pilots and they were taken by the criminal Scotia. For safety reasons Chief Valent broke off the pursuit and returned to base with my pod intact. David chase the subject but wasn't able to apprehend him. I reported to medical and was given a full examination. Only a few minor bruises, scratches along with a deeply wounded ego were reported. All units should be on the lookout for this freelancer calling himself Scotia. Proceed with caution he is highly skilled and very dangerous. Detain, arrest or destroy this ship and capture or kill this fugitive on sight. Guncam and communication logs attached below. Guncam attachment Communication file
