I started my patrol at Manhattan. After gettin' a new Patriot, I mustered up some of that rookie confidence and set out. After a normal patrol of scannin' traders and protectin' them lanes, I found the Xenos called "Stiletto" near Fort Bush (the nerve!) and waited for Lt. Smith to lead. Unfortunately, the lieutenant's ship was obliterated and I was forced to retreat to Colorado. After patrollin' some more in Colorado, I returned to New York and responded with that SWAT officer Kerry about some reports of pirates (Bobylien and Dark.Noir) at Pittsburgh. We found 'em and decided to pursue. After Kerry missed a CD shot, I sped ahead and tried to catch up to Bobylien. I managed to get a hit, but without any warning this Dark.Noir showed up and blasted my Patriot. Luckily, that ol' ejector seat worked and my pod flew to Fort Bush.
Hopefully I'll be able to earn me one of those Liberators!
