Ensign Ethan Tamner reporting in.

Today's duty started out with me hopping into my Avenger, whereupon I was called by Samuel Stubbs to assist at Z-21, as some ships were suspected to be incoming. I flew there as fast as I could, and upon getting there I took up a defense position along with Mickael Artmann and paladin_justice_giver, a gunboat.

We had been guarding for around 10 minutes when a Barghest bomber, DARKG)-(OST, came flying out of the jumpgate. The penalty for tresspassing in Z-21 is of course death, so such was swiftly delivered to the pilot:


After the barghest was taken down, Samuel went to patrol California with an LPI officer. Paladin, Mickael and I continued to guard Z-21, but there were no other attempts to gain entry. Soon afterwards, I was called out to engage a Coalition pilot detected in Colorado, but as I was en-route to the jumpgate, he began to broadcast over system comms. Realising that he was now in New York, and that the jumpgate was clear, I went to the rough co-ordinates of the Colorado jumphole, where I detected him on my scanners, but was unable to get a clear lock on his position before he jumped back into Colorado. I was about to jump after him when a Xeno, White-Tiger, came out of the jumphole and a dogfight ensued.

I had been fighting him inside the debris field for about 15 minutes when a stray shot punctured my fuel tank, and my eject pod automatically shot me out before my Avenger exploded in a fireball. Samuel sent a DSE repair team to pick me up, and they delivered my pod to Manhattan, when I discovered that there were no Avengers available for me there. I therefore got into a Guardian and took off to patrol the system.

By this time Samuel and all other Liberty personnel had gone off-duty, and so I patrolled new york on my own for a while. Around 30 minutes into my patrol circuit, 10+ outcasts came flying into New York and began to attack the Manhattan-Westpoint tradelane. I immediately warned all civilians against going past that area, and sent out hailing calls to all Liberty Forces vessels. I was unable to get a signal on any of them except for one, the LNS-Yellowstone, a cruiser. We took up position at Norfolk and waited while I resent hailing signals, but still there was no reply. An outcast gunboat came within 4k of us, and we set off to pursue. The gunboat was dodging like mad, with the Yellowstone and I pounding on its shields, when about 2 minutes into the fight the rest of the Outcast fleet arrived. Most of them immediately targeted me in my fighter, destroying my ship in a single salvo of missiles and laser pulses. The Yellowstone managed to take down one of the gunboats but was destroyed by the rest of the swarm. My pod's auto-thrusters activated and slowly took me away from the fleet, where a passing convoy picked me up and dropped me off at Manhattan. I am currently undergoing a checkup in medbay. As soon as the all-clear is given, I will be back in space.

Tamner out.
