Greetings, this is Ensign Antoine Duhamel reporting the events of the 4th of June, 827 A.S..
As I just joined Lieutenant Stedman for a patrol at Riverside Station, California, a Separatist fighter, Jupiter, showed up on scanners.
He didn't seem to do any harm, however their presence are a disgrace to the Primary Fleets and to Liberty. Lieutenant Stedman let me handle this one, and I put the deserter down. I returned to Battleship Alma for repairs, and returned to Riverside Station, as other hostiles were spotted there.
[04.06.2020 10:45:43] LSFC-Seattle: RO: Good day. [04.06.2020 10:46:27] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Another Separatist that wants to be put down, I presume ... *sighs* [04.06.2020 10:47:38] LSFC-Seattle: RO: This one has been just flying around.
[04.06.2020 10:47:46] LSFC-Seattle: RO: We're honestly not sure what this one is up to.
[04.06.2020 10:48:38] LSFC-Seattle: RO: Well, seems like we are not needed, so time to moor on Riverside.
[04.06.2020 10:48:41] LSFC-Seattle: RO: Godspeed. [04.06.2020 10:48:44] Jupiter: Coming out, I see. [04.06.2020 10:48:49] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Roger that.
[04.06.2020 10:48:51] 2020-06-04 10:48:51 SMT Traffic control alert: LSFC-Seattle has requested to dock [04.06.2020 10:49:05] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Well you're the one flying freely in Liberty space. [04.06.2020 10:49:09] 5th|Alastair,Stedman: Morning Ensign [04.06.2020 10:49:15] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Kind of ill-aware, I'd say. [04.06.2020 10:49:16] Jupiter: Then come and stop me. [04.06.2020 10:49:18] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Greetings, Sir. [04.06.2020 10:49:28] XA-Cobra: Morning Ensign. [04.06.2020 10:50:58] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: As if a Separatist wasn't enough ... [04.06.2020 10:51:06] XA-Cobra: I haven't even done anything. [04.06.2020 10:51:20] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Well I'm expecting you to, to be honest. [04.06.2020 10:51:41] XA-Cobra: I'm an observer at this point.
[04.06.2020 10:51:47] Jupiter: I don't think he likes you, Xeno.
[04.06.2020 10:51:51] XA-Cobra: They often don't. [04.06.2020 10:51:55] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: They are the one that doesn't like me. [04.06.2020 10:52:01] XA-Cobra: I have a reputation for killing their pilots. [04.06.2020 10:52:01] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: don't *coughs* [04.06.2020 10:52:02] [LN]-LNS-Monitor: S: So I guess Jupiter is the first target for you. [04.06.2020 10:52:16] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Greetings, Sir. Yeah it seems so. [04.06.2020 10:52:16] Jupiter: Let's dance, Antoine. [04.06.2020 10:52:20] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Roger that.
[04.06.2020 10:52:24] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Weapons are primed. [04.06.2020 10:52:24] XA-Cobra: May the best man win. [04.06.2020 10:52:26] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Au revoir, gentlemen. [04.06.2020 11:05:44] Death: Jupiter was put out of action by 5th|Antoine.Duhamel (Gun)
Lieutenant Stedman and myself were still around Riverside Station, and we were on our way to assist the LNS-Odyssey, as he was having trouble keeping the SNS-Ticonderoga in place, crusing away.
We wanted to disrupt his cruiser drive, but XA-Cobra did so with ours, making the chase impossible for us anymore.
I was awaiting orders from Lieutenant Stedman, when I noticed that the Xeno had already engaged. I moved in, but then moved out for a second to assess the situation: let my Lieutenant take care of him, or assist him.
When it was clear that Lieutenant Stedman couldn't take the upper hand, I went back in.
Unfortunately, the Lieutenant's ship was blown apart, and I was determined to avenge him. However, the Xeno clearly didn't want me to.
I chased him to Outpost Hesperia, but he docked before I could take him out.
I understand that my actions are to be reviwed by the HC, and might not look like I didn't want to let my Lieutenant deal with this xenophobic scum by himself. If I was ordered to, I would've stood back until the fight was over, no matter the side of the survivor.
However, it was clear right at the beginning of the fight that Lieutenant Stedman was in a bad situation: we both didn't notice the Xeno engaging, and he was left with little to no chances of winning this fight.
I took upon myself to move in and assist my Lieutenant, and therefore, if any disciplinary sanction must be taken, I strongly suggest that it is taken against me, as it was my decision to get in.
[04.06.2020 11:12:48] XA-Cobra: I thought I said let them fight it out. [04.06.2020 11:13:02] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Sir, what are the orders? [04.06.2020 11:13:11] [LN]-LNS-Shenandoah: CIC: Assist the Odyssey - pilots. [04.06.2020 11:13:19] [LN]-LNS-Monitor: S: Well, it is making a run for it. [04.06.2020 11:13:23] XA-Cobra: The Odyssey isn't engaged by anything.
[04.06.2020 11:13:28] XA-Cobra: What are you going to assist with?
[04.06.2020 11:13:29] XA-Cobra: Being idle? [04.06.2020 11:13:40] [LN]-LNS-Monitor: S: We're RTB. [04.06.2020 11:14:03] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: why you damn xenos gotta poke you nose in everything [04.06.2020 11:14:10] XA-Cobra: I have a pointy nose.
[04.06.2020 11:14:13] XA-Cobra: Would be a waste if I didn't.
[04.06.2020 11:14:35] XA-Cobra: Peel off.
[04.06.2020 11:14:54] XA-Cobra: They're in full retreat, you've won. [04.06.2020 11:14:55] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: unpoint your nose
[04.06.2020 11:15:03] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: cosmetic surgery is a thing [04.06.2020 11:15:23] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: What the- [04.06.2020 11:15:35] XA-Cobra: Peel off. [04.06.2020 11:15:53] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: we dont take orders from xenophobes [04.06.2020 11:16:38] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Orders, Sir. [04.06.2020 11:16:54] XA-Cobra: Got ample opportunity to back off. [04.06.2020 11:17:10] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: We are to apprehend this terrorist, zenophobe, generally undisirable person [04.06.2020 11:17:14] XA-Cobra: I see. [04.06.2020 11:17:20] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Roger that, Sir. [04.06.2020 11:17:30] 5th|Alastair.Stedman: take him [04.06.2020 11:17:42] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Roger that. Target is locked, weapons are primed.
[04.06.2020 11:17:44] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Au revoir, scum.
[04.06.2020 11:18:52] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Standing by for now, Sir.
[04.06.2020 11:19:13] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Alright, moving in again. [04.06.2020 11:24:36] Death: 5th|Alastair.Stedman was put out of action by XA-Cobra (Gun). [04.06.2020 11:31:09] 2020-06-04 11:31:09 SMT Traffic control alert: XA-Cobra has requested to dock
