Report Filed By: Sgt. Andrea Berkeley, Fort Bush, New York System
Headed out from West Point after my Liberator was fixed. Spotted some suspicious activity on the comms near Baltimore, so I went to check it out.
Well, all hell pretty much broke loose from there. The gunboat ran off into the Pittsburgh field, the Navy sent the [BHG]Ordronaux over to help. Somehow, the gunboat managed to elude us and... well, I'm sure you know what happened next, what with the ground troops nearly storming Police Plaza. I found the gunboat being bailed up by Rogues and Outcasts (seems there were more than a few of their pilots in the hold) halfway along the Manhattan-West Point trade lane. I called in the Navy, and a fierce battle ensued.
I mopped up the grunts while the Navy and the Ordronaux took care of the gunboat. Ran out of shield batteries and nanobots, so I beat a hasty retreat before the hostiles had a chance to notice me and ran for Manhattan, where I landed amidst the ground troops. I barely got off the planet with my skin and while the forces on the ground were dealt with, the Navy managed to take out the gunboat in space.
After that, it was pretty quiet. A Lane Hacker name of Dexter Smythe was sighted along the Manhattan-WP trade lane, and I assisted Jack Malrone of the navy in taking him out. Afterwards, received word of a known smuggler Gabrielle[T] coming in from Colorado. She managed to escape to Texas I-still-don't-know-how, and smugly paraded herself back to Norfolk with a "look at me, my hold is all clean and legitimate". Damn her. I was forced to apologise, and became pretty much the laughingstock of New York after that, so I landed on Fort Bush until it could be determined that people would take me more seriously.
