As I was flipping through an old copy of "Mactonian Today" while going numb with boredom, I received an escort request over the private comms from Seraffimo Spang. As we regrouped just outside the [Removed for Security] Jump Hole, the convoy slowly grew to Sef, Elliot, Phate, and myself. Gun running to Alpha had it's moments where we were forced to divert to Cali Base to wait out the =CR= Patrols. Later on we met up with an Outcast who cleared the rest of our route for a fairly uneventful run. Life proved more difficult on the way back. As we left Cortez, Phate took point in the California Lane and was promptly halted by a lone Liberty Navy Gunboat! We all played cool, distracting him with idle banter as we slowly took our positions for a full out revolt. When will they learn, they CAN'T outsmart our superior intellect?! As the missiles lit up the void, guns ablaze, and mines littering the sky, we proved too overwhelming for the lone Destroyer. Not a single loss on our side, not even a dented hull. Perhaps the Captain of the LNS-Brookstone will think twice about pulling patrol duty without an escort wing at his side... All in all, we conducted the rest of our route unchallenged and celebrated our victory back at Mactan. On a side note, is there any better reading material around here?
