I was on patrol in New York when my crew and I onboard the Indiana came across a Barghest along the West Point - Norfolk tradelane. As I approached, he tried to engage cruise engines. Wasn't gonna have that, not with civilian hostages on board - So I fired a cruise disruptor. He got quite aggressive and within seconds, the Indiana shook violently as a torpedo hit the hull. Alarms sounded and we were in battle.
As our gunners were successfully draining the hostile's shields and tearing the thick armour apart, he sent out an SOS to other pirates in New York. A fighter, Davy.Jones, joined the skirmish, shortly followed by a Cartel Sabre. They were slowly getting through our armour and I called for fighter backup.
The bomber was on his last legs when backup finally arrived in the form of Deputy Director Deus and "UNO". I finished off the bomber just as "UNO" managed to fly into a nuclear mine. Fortunately for my ship and crew, the Deputy Director was a much better fighter pilot than myself and took on both fighters as Director Walker was enroute to assist.
We fired pulses and razors into the skirmish, and we got lucky...
Moderate damage was sustained by the Indiana, nothing Norfolk couldn't fix quite easily.
>CLASSIFIED Threat outside Manhatten.
After the Indiana was fully repaired, Director Walker alerted us to a threat outside Manhatten that couldn't be ignored. Those with clearance can view the evidence below.
The target was then neutralised. Hazmat crews confirm no further threat of infection.
>Stolen Gunboat.
A stolen gunboat was reported near Norfolk. Apparently the Freelancer simply "bought" it - No doubt off the black market. As myself and the Captain of the Alabama were having a little chat to the gunboat, he opened fire on the Alabama. He didn't survive that.
After that, we had a little run-in with the IND, which I'm sure they'll have plenty to complain about in coming days...
>Order Incursion.
The Captain of the LNS-Milford sent out a distress call alerting all officers to the presence of a large Order craft in CLASSIFIED. The Indiana responded, as well as the Leyte Gulf. The Order Admiral seemed quite easy to negotiate with and the matter was resolved peacefully.
>Brazen Pirate.
As I was returning to the Indiana later in the afternoon, I happened to hear something that sounded dastardly similar to pirating over the public comms in New York. I quickly took the Indiana out to scout around and found him almost immediately - Outside Manhatten. He seemed like the type to shoot first and scrape up the wreckage later, so I shot at ship to see how much he liked it.
>Side Note - Criminal Registry.
I know its the holiday season, however, if High Command could get back to me on the matter of the Criminal Registry as soon as possible please?
