Comm ID: Kingston, Lieutenant Alexander S. (Navy Patrol Epsilon 2-6) Target ID: Primary Fleet Patrol Reporting Center Subject: Patrol Record for January 16th, 823 A.S. Encryption: Low Priority: Low
Tidings again, Fleet Command. Lieutenant Alexander Kingston reporting in once more.
I began my patrol from the Cortez gate in California. From there I traveled to the Fort Bush/Baltimore Shipyard junction, where I encountered LSF Agent Jack Edwards and an untagged Camara freighter under the name of 'MareNostrum'. I took a quick scan of the freighter, taking note of the roughly 640 slaves he had aboard. An exchange of words occured, and eventually Agent Edwards opened fire and destroyed the ship. The slaves are currently aboard Fort Bush awaiting reprocessing.
After the encounter, I proceeded to West Point, and waited for more traffic. Eventually, a Bactrian with a Junker IFF came through the lane from Norfolk and proceeded through the lane to the Pennsylvania gate. This Bactrian was tagged under the name Quazar, and eventually stopped just before he jumped. After I informed him of his wrongdoing, he jumped through the gate, hoping to get away.
After I proceeded in after him, my ship's systems short-circuited, and the whole thing just seized. After rebooting my computer, I proceeded after him through the trade lane to Philadelphia, but he was nowhere to be found. Eventually, I got to searching the Junker installation at Allentown, where Quazar had ran to after he jumped. After another short exchange of words, he engaged me, and I had no choice but to respond and unfortunately destroy the ship.
As of now, I am aboard Philadelphia beginning repairs on my ship and sending this message to you in full.
Safe travels,
Ensign Alexander S. Kingston, Liberty Navy Primary Fleet, Designation: Epsilon 2-6.
