Man, where do i start? Well after i got the news about being promoted, i started my shift by getting to Illinois, and upgrading to the Liberator. And as i was heading there, i got a report that there was a huge fleet of Outcast and Hacker ships near the Jumpgate to California! well, i did my best to rush to get my ship and the best upgrades i could afford,and get my tail over to west point.
When i arrived, i formed up with a mix bag of fighters and capital ships to repel the pirate fleet. a mix of LSF, LPI, Navy, i think i even saw a USI ship in the mix. and a couple of Freelancers came in to help.
After we all formed up, we jumped to California, when i saw was incredible: several wings of fighters, and a couple of Outcast Gunships!
I recieved orders to take out the Gunships, and i did what i did best. we managed to take out two of them, and a couple of fighters, when the rest started to bug out.
it was a impressive fight, and not bad for a newly promoted Officer if i must say!
after the battle, i was ordered to patrol California for a suspected Cardimine smuggler. i was en route back to the gate, when i encountered two Rogues, who would not leave the public area, they opened fire, and i called out for some assist. we destroyed one, but the other jumped to California. we jumped right after, but i lost the Rogue on my scanners.
so i went on with my patrol with another officer, and a bounty hunter,when we encountered a couple more pirates, three in total, running into the field.
we entered pursuit, when we find that we are to close to Alcatraz base. i called off the pursuit, for we are too close to the pirate base, and i was weary from all this fighting, and i needed to patch my ship up.
so i headed to Los Angeles, and started repairs, then hit the bar.
Thus ending my shift.
In summary: 1 gunship and 2 fighters killed by me, but it was a group effort taking out the gunship. but i took out the remaining armor it had left.
Jean: I must confess, as infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be, those eyes, that grin, that body, it takes a girl's breath away. Cyclops: Oh, really? When next the opportunity presents itself, remind me to drop a truck on him. Xavier: Cyclops. Cyclops: A big truck. Xavier: Cyclops! Cyclops: A really big truck. Xavier: CYCLOPS!
