I began my shift with the regluar circuit around New York when I made a rendevous with the San Francisco. We had reports of an Outcast fleet consisting of 2 destroyers, a possible gunboat and later finding out, a bomber. The San Francisco moved to intercept while I faced off Jarek_70 in a Sabre near Manhattan orbit. The fight was even and soon attracted some of Jarek's supposed friends. They did not interfere however, and Jarek was destroyed by a collision with my ship. The San Francisco had sustained heavy damage after taking out 1 destroyer as she drew the fire of the entire fleet and was forced to retreat.
A few hours later, I stationed myself near the Yukon and kept an eye out for any trouble when Commander McTyre started his shift. I joined him in patrols until we heard some trouble from Lt.Kidd from the 214th division of a hostile mercenary that breached several Liberty laws, one including a Zone 21 infracture. We found the mercenary at Manhattan and after we asked him to answer for his crimes, he attacked us. At first, Commander McTyre and I were slightly off guard due to the sudden attack, however we were able to contain him until the Commander was hit by a mine. I retrieved his pod and continued the fight as Lt.Kidd arrived. A few minutes later, with the mercenary almost destroyed, he lost control of his ship and flew into Manhattan. We have no intel if he survived the crash.
A final event for yesterday's patrol, was a fight at Fort Bush when Johnny Knoxville and Razgriz-1 arrived to make some trouble. I undocked from Fort Bush to see this battle already taking place. I joined the Director and the LNS Atlanta in fighting these pirates. We concentrated fire on the gunboat first, hoping to take it out of commission, however that thought was gone when Atlanta's crew was forced to evacuate their ship. With just the Director and I, we switched targets to Razgriz-1 in a Sabre. A few jousts later and he was taken out, however we were forced to flee as we did not have enough firepower to hurt the gunboat.
On a final note, I have had the pleasure of working with many of our newer recruits and ensigns in the recent couple of weeks. Continue the good work!
