Hartley, reporting in.
Set out on a patrol of the New York system from Fort Bush as a maiden flight for my assigned bomber. Everything was running smoothly and the system was pleasantly quiet, right up until I found myself staring down the INS Discovery on the Norfolk perimeter. I ain't sure what tactical mastermind of theirs thought that approaching the Missouri like that was a good idea, because it sure wasn't. I had the good fortune of having a bounty hunter bomber join me in the pursuit of the Discovery towards the intra-system jump hole, and managed to put a good few rounds of antimatter into her hull, even with ion interference messing with the targeting systems.
With a Jaeger by my side, I decided to risk following the target through the jump hole into the Badlands, where she put up more of a fight. But neither the hunter nor I were equipped to properly deal with a dreadnought, nor could the Discovery really fight back against us all too effectively. We still chased her down to Buffalo, where I decided that things would get a bit too prickly and broke off, letting her moor to the station.
The damage we dealt to her was minor, but might keep her busy with repairs for a short while at any rate.
That is all.
P.S.
It feels good to be jockeying a One-Seventeen again.
