After changing my ship's transmitter systems to reflect my new position in the Liberty Security Force, I proceeded to Colorado, at which time the system was all but empty.

I then came across an unresponsive Guardian fighter, who, after my threats to use force if necessary, finally powered down his engines and submitted to a scan. The mercenary flying the ship appeared to have no authorization for his equipment, guncam shots follow.
Initial Conversation
Ship Scan: Weapons
Ship Scan: ID Code

After recieving backup from Director Julia Wolfe, who finally convinced the pilot to land on Planet Manhattan to switch the items out, the ship left the area peacefully.

While returning to our station to patrol, Director Wolfe and myself found a Pirate Transport on the trade lane from the Colorado gate to Fort Bush. Although already being stopped by the gunboat LNS Ark Royal, we decided to investigate. The ship had apparently just robbed a Kusari-affiliated trader, the Nippon Maru, who indicated that he had been taxed 2 million credits. After a short conversation with the Outcast-operated pirate transport, the gunners decided to attack Director Wolfe. Being left with no other choice, I opened fire immediately. In a wise decision, the Ark Royal's gunners decided not to fire. Shortly afterward, we were assisted by an unaffiliated Spatial equipped with all the necessary weapons to make short work of the pirate transport.

Though the outlaw attempted to surrender, his pleas came too late, as our supporting Spatial had already fired the kill shot.

After a status check on all involved parties, returned to business. This time it was unconfirmed reports of a pirate gunboat operating in the area surrounding Rochester Base. These reports turned out to confirm themselves quickly enough. The gunboat had been moving to Manhattan orbit, a mistake that would cost the crew its life.

Gunboat Spotted

After obviously refusing to pay the 2 million credit tax the gunboat wanted us to pay for him to leave, Director Wolfe ordered all units to attack, and attack we did.

After the destruction of the Rogue gunboat, the rest of the day was relatively uneventful, except for an officer aboard a mining ship complaining about 'poor response'.
