Upon launching from Manhatten, I assisted some LN officers in subduing a (Zoner) type capital ship that had some sort of violation against it. After re arming at Manhatten and lifting to orbit, I came across two Xenos 14k away from docking ring and the first one had an LPI pilot in their hold. I requested that the pilot be handed over. I was 3k away when the Xeno jettisioned the pilot and shot him. The other Xeno (Prospector) in a rogue GB had 3 Civilian pilots in his hold. I asked him to turn them over and he did not reply. I gave two more notices, then a short count before engaging. Needles to say, He was able to cause my ship to disigenerate around me. I was picked up by a friendly pilot and delivered to Manhatten. I was in good condition so I got a spare ship and proceded to the Califorina system.
In the Califorina system I came across the ship Ratlover, ( I think it was a Large Train) full of Counterfit Software. I gave chase and when I caught up with him he appeared to have rendezvous with an Outcast Destroyer under the name of Werwolf. I backed off and called for assistance but none arrived. As I was working the comm they were able to get too far away from me to catch before they got beyond my scanner range. I proceded to patrol the Califorina System. Finding nothing I proceded to the Texas System. I encountred several Civilian Traders that were attempting to take goods and ore to Rhineland. I was able to inform them about the blockade and where to check to verify what I was saying. All was going good till while I was talking to Civilian, a pirate Transport full of slaves came out of the TL and was at the JG before I could get the ship name after doing a quick scan. I ordered him to halt. I gave chase but by the time I got to the Bering side, he was gone. Do those JG's work faster for them than us?
I did a quick patrol of the Bering system and found nothing. I recieved a long range com about a Keeper somewhere in New York. I proceded as fast as I could. I had a hard time getting position reports on his position. After many time delayed reports I cought him on my scanners just off Ithica Station heading into the Badlands. His name was Keeper.Kharybdis. He was in formation with a ship ID'ed as the Medivh, a Percheron. I was able to comm the LPI Rusty Donut for back up. I kept trying to engage the keeper in conversation in attemp to find out why he was in the system. This Medivh kept saying that we have to study it and be nice to it. After many failed attempts to communicate with the Keeper, I anounced my intention to engage and Medivh informed me that if I shot at the Keeper, he would shoot me. Using the Badlands to my advantage I engaged the Keeper. I was in turn, engaged by Medivh. I was attempting to push them out of the Badlands where I could possibly get help from the Rusty Donut and Stormcrow. After a short fight I was cought in their crossfire. As my ship came apart I ejected. As I ejected I turned off the retrival becon hoping they would think I was dead. I must have passed out. I was informed when I came to at WPMA medical that some Civilian had picked my pod up soon after ejecting. My Thanks to him or her.
It is my belief that the pilot and crew of the Medivh may be under Nomad influence and to be approached with caution. I am sorry for the loss of two craft in todays patrol Director. I hope to be discharged from medical soon and to return to duty.
