- Aboard Liberty Avenger, callsign Cowboy
Was doing patrols in Texas, when scanners picked up a Phantom in Colorado. Phantom suspected to be in a bomber. I hastened ino the Colorado system, where comms were opened to the Phantom Vessel. Some trash talking ensued, as is usual from a Phantom pilot. No direct scanner confirmation was received.
Some while after entering Colorado, a Helghast ship, hailing on system comms, announced he was selling contraband. The nerve of the Helghast!!! As soon as my short range scanners picked him up, I requested he drop his contraband and leave Liberty. He replied, announcing that I had found myself a fight. It took him only a few moments to find that he had found his maker, and began to flee around the tradelanes of Colorado with the hull of his ship barely intact. I kept within scanner range at all times, just waiting for my chance to put the final nail in his coffin.
I got my chance when he made a mistake exiting from a lane half way through. My cruise disruptor was true, and my guns even more so. His hull burst open and scattered his contraband into space.

Looking through the contents of his hold I found no pilot. It seems he got away in this instance. I was concentrating hard on retrieving the illegal cargo, that I may have missed him ejecting.
