Joshua, reporting in on some of the recent action in the Colorado system.
I hooked up with Rattler around Ouray a couple of days ago and we decided to do some 'customs' checks around the NY jumpgate. On the way we met up with a ship Starlighter with a Xenos ID. Rattler extended an invitation to join us, and he accepted. After we had hung around the gate for a while, XA-Anaconda showed up, to help us out. Soon after that, a ship called Keio, a freelance Camara freighter carrying 628 basic alloy from Texas. (didn't catch what base) to Severn, Ontario. Since it was purely Liberty, we let it go. Soon after that, a Junker named USS_ARAGOZA appeared, and refused to stop or respond to our hails. :nono:It was warned and after a chase was promptly destroyed. We then went back to the NY Jumpgate. Soon, a police vessel appeared, and after a brief standoff, a Rheinland fighter (named Kriegsphilosophie of all things) appeared and engaged the police, which had then been joined by a navy ship. Things snowballed after that, with ships entering left and right, combatants and non combatants. When a Liberty Siege Cruiser showed up though, Rattler wisely called a retreat, saying that it is all well and good to die for the Xeno cause, but to die with out an aim was pointless. We than retreated back up the jump lane to Ouray, but as we got to Ouray, we encountered a Rogue VHF named Muratti.Rosso . Soon into the fight, I got hit with a salvo, after running into a mine, and my ship had emotional problems... Rattler tractered my pod in, and promptly vaporized the rogue. After returning my pod to Ouray, I stayed behind, because there were no eagles left, and the next one in from Nome was four hours out.:angry2:Over the comms, I heard that the rest of the group, which now included XA-Silekar.Dravin and XA-Venom, cornered the transport Ted_Prescott, which was carrying 3401 Kyushu rice to Pennsylvania. When ordered to drop his cargo, he 'misinterpreted' the orders Rattler gave him, and dropped only enough cargo to fill a fighter's cargo bay... Venom turned him into particles on the spot. Before I logged off the comms that night, I heard that the group chased down a freelance cardamine trader, Max_Tyler, which Anaconda promptly destroyed, because Xenos don't have no truck with trash like Cardamine. Then I called it a night.
