Comrades, as soon as I heard the orders from the Grand Admiral, I was heading to the rack, to get some sleep in before tomorrow's no-doubt planned offensive, when I was alerted to intruders in the system. Launching immediately, I discovered a WDR Raven's Talon, the [WDR]Fedai-III, and a Zoner Destroyer, the Flyin'Brick. I immediately caught and engaged the WDR near the Omega 50 Jumphole. Shortly after, we were joined by Lieutenant Guang Jie, also in his fighter. The WDR pilot, although outclassed and outgunned, managed to hit me with a salvo of mines and missles in quick succession, knocking out my fire control systems. I launched a pattern of mines, my only remaining effective weapon, and departed for the base, allowing Lieutenant Jie to finish off the intruder.
On my way back, the Flyin'Brick offered to intervene on the WDR's behalf. I informed him of the consequences of engaging the Coalition, and he quickly changed his story. After the WDR pilot was disabled, the destroyer picked up his lifepod, and accelerated out of the system. I believe this is a clear indicator of the effectiveness of singling out the true aggressors from the rest of the common Zoners.
In addition, I believe Lieutenant Jie should be commended for his bravery today, in facing down a pilot who had already semi-disabled an experienced ace. The skill and valour he showed saved me from an unfortunate torpedo up the arse, and no doubt a painful experience being eaten somewhere on Crete.
