My patrol started with a disturbance outside Manhattan docking ring. [THC]Medical-HQ was attempting to smuggle syntethic weed and other contraband items down on the surface. I ran some cursory scans and noticed that he was carrying enough marijuana to get half the Planet high. I scanned further and picked up an extremly powerful Nomadic weapon in his arsenal. This was no medical ship. I immediately ordered the dock contollers as well as the personnel running the mooring fixture to initiate immediate lockdown mode. I also made request for security officers to arrest [THC]Medical-HQ in case he was able to squeeze through anyways. Unfortunately, the docking people underperformed...again, and the smuggler was able to land safely on the planet without incident. I am not sure if Liberty offficers apprehended the smuggler, however Vice Admiral Valence.Harper is personlly looking into the situation and I feel that the situation is well cared for. I have pics of my orders to lock down the docking rings and the request for [THC]Medical-HQ to be placed under arrest.
Later, after my nerves had calmed down somewhat, I came back to planet Manhattan, only to notice that chaos once again had ensued. Gunfire raced across the planet and into the LNS-Brookstone. Several unlawful fighters, for reasons unknown to me, decided that a piece of large indie navy ship would make a nice trophy on their mantles. I patched in to comms to see if the Brookstone could use my assistance and was met with scorn from some of the bystanders who seemed to take a perverse interest in the demise of the LNS-Brookstone. Ignoring them, I finally received a distress call from the beleagured ship and began my engagement against the unlawful fighters. The first ship to go down was dragons_fire. I got off a lucky burst of magmas while he was focused on punching snacs through the Brookstone's hull. Next, was Ravana. She too, was determined to take down the Brookstone. However, I got her hull down to almost nothing when a fellow by the name of Shadix, finished her off. The next to suffer defeat was the Brookstone herself. Staggered by the steady stream of snacs, she finally succumbed to destruction. That left a couple more bombers for our group to tackle. LN Valence.Harper, along with Sergeant Maggard, assisted in taking down the remaining forces. Incindre was taken down my Maggard, and I took down .:lAztech just as Deputy Chief Riza Williams joined the fray. The battle continued, with lawful forces triumphant yet again. However, I left the battle shortly before it ended to dock for repairs.
Some pics of the battle.
Little did I know that the LNS-Brookstone was a fugitive ship that is hardly considered lawful by Liberty Navy. However, I only attacked unlawful ships that engaged it, and the LNS-Brookstone did go down in defeat, so I consider my conscience clean in the matter.
Lastly, Sergeant Maggard and I continued patrols and we were soon led to the California system to assist Navy personnel in the arrest of two unlawfuls, Black.Vulture-Project X and [Maf].MM.SirSlicey. We quickly engaged and made short work of the criminals. Sergeant Maggard distinguished himself with the kill of Black.Vulture-Project X while [LN]-valence.Harper ended the battle with the destruction of [Maf].MM.SirSlicey.

Tired, I made it back home to Manhattan, to enjoy a good night's rest. Not a bad day's work, if I do say so myself. Good job Liberty lawfuls. You did yourselves proud today.
